Genesis 33
1 Jacob saw Esau in the distance, coming towards him with four hundred men. So he split up the children between Leah, Rachel and the two personal maids.
| وَتَطَلَّعَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، فَرَأَى عِيسُو مُقْبِلاً وَمَعَهُ أَرْبَعُ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ، فَفَرَّق أَوْلادَهُ عَلَى لَيْئَةَ وَرَاحِيلَ وَالْجَارِيَتَيْنِ. | ١ |
2 He placed the two personal maids with their children first, then Leah and her children, and Rachel and Joseph last.
| فَجَعَلَ الْجَارِيَتَيْنِ وَأَوْلادَهُمَا فِي الطَّلِيعَةِ، ثُمَّ لَيْئَةَ وَأَوْلادَهَا، وَأَخِيراً رَاحِيلَ وَيُوسُفَ. | ٢ |
3 Then Jacob went ahead of them and bowed low to the ground seven times before approaching his brother.
| وَتَقَدَّمَهُمْ، وَسَجَدَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ حَتَّى اقْتَرَبَ مِنْ أَخِيهِ. | ٣ |
4 Esau ran over to him and hugged him. He put his arms around his neck and kissed him. The two of them wept.
| فَأَسْرَعَ عِيسُو لِمُلاقَاتِهِ وَعَانَقَهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ، وَبَكَيَا. | ٤ |
5 Then Esau looked around at the women and children. “Who are these people with you?” he asked. “They are the children God graciously gave your servant,” Jacob replied.
| وَتَلَفَّتَ عِيسُو حَوْلَهُ فَشَاهَدَ النِّسَاءَ وَالأَوْلادَ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ هَؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «هُمُ الأَوْلادُ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللهُ بِهِمْ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ». | ٥ |
6 The personal maids and their children came over and bowed down.
| ثُمَّ دَنَتِ الْجَارِيَتَانِ مَعَ أَوْلادِهِمَا وَانْحَنَوْا أَمَامَ عِيسُو. | ٦ |
7 Then Leah and her children came over and bowed down. Lastly Joseph and Rachel came over and bowed down.
| وَبَعْدَهُمْ اقْتَرَبَتْ لَيْئَةُ وَأَوْلادُهَا وَانْحَنَوْا أَيْضاً، وَأَخِيراً تَقَدَّمَتْ رَاحِيلُ وَيُوسُفُ وَانْحَنَيَا أَمَامَهُ. | ٧ |
8 “What were all the livestock for that I met on the way?” Esau asked. “They're a gift to you my lord so you'd treat me well,” Jacob answered.
| وَسَأَلَ عِيسُو: «مَا هُوَ قَصْدُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ هَذِهِ الْقُطْعَانِ الَّتِي صَادَفْتُهَا؟». فَأَجَابَ يَعْقُوبُ: «هِيَ لِكَيْ أَحْظَى بِرِضَى سَيِّدِي». | ٨ |
9 “I have more than enough, my brother! You keep what you have,” said Esau.
| فَقَالَ عِيسُو: «إِنَّ لَدَيَّ كَثِيراً يَا أَخِي. فَاحْتَفِظْ لِنَفْسِكَ بِمَا لَكَ». | ٩ |
10 “No, please!” Jacob insisted. “If you're happy with me, then please accept the gift I'm giving you. Now I've seen your face again it's like seeing the face of God, and you have welcomed me so kindly!
| فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «لا، إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ، فَأَرْجُو مِنْكَ أَنْ تَقْبَلَ مِنِّي هَدِيَّتِي لأَنِّي رَأَيْتُ وَجْهَكَ كَمَا يُرَى وَجْهُ اللهِ، فَرَضِيتَ عَنِّي. | ١٠ |
11 Please take the gift I've brought to you because God has treated me so well and I have so much.” So Esau accepted it.
| فَأَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَقْبَلَ بَرَكَتِي الَّتِي حَمَلْتُهَا إِلَيْكَ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَغْدَقَ عَلَيَّ، وَلَدَيَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ». وَأَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى قَبِلَ. | ١١ |
12 “Let's get on our way,” Esau said. “I'll go ahead of you.”
| وَقَالَ عِيسُو: «لِنَرْتَحِلْ فَأَسِيرَ أَمَامَكَ وَتَتْبَعَنِي». | ١٢ |
13 “My lord can see that the children are weak,” Jacob responded. “Also, the goats, sheep, and cattle are nursing their young, and if I push them too hard, they'll all die.
| فَأَجَابَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الأَوْلادَ مَا بَرِحُوا أَطْرِيَاءَ الْعُودِ، وَغَنَمِي وَبَقَرِي مُرْضِعَةٌ، فَإِنْ أَجْهَدْتُهَا يَوْماً وَاحِداً فَإِنَّ كُلَّ الْغَنَمِ تَمُوتُ. | ١٣ |
14 You go on, my lord, and your servant will come along slowly, walking with the children, and I'll meet you at Seir.”
| فَلْيَتَقَدَّمْ مَوْلايَ عَبْدَهُ، وَأَنَا أَسِيرُ مُتَمَهِّلاً فِي إِثْرِ الْمَاشِيَةِ الَّتِي أَمَامِي، وَفِي إِثْرِ الأَوْلادِ أَيْضاً، إِلَى أَنْ أُقْبِلَ عَلَى سَيِّدِي فِي سَعِيرَ». | ١٤ |
15 “Fine, but let me leave some of my men with you,” said Esau. “You're very kind, but there's no need to do that,” Jacob replied.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ عِيسُو: «إِذاً أَتْرُكُ مَعَكَ بَعْضَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ مَعِي». فَأَجَابَهُ: «وَأَيُّ حَاجَةٍ لِذَلِكَ؟ إِنَّ كُلَّ مَا أَطْلُبُهُ هُوَ أَنْ أَحْظَى بِرِضَى سَيِّدِي». | ١٥ |
16 So Esau started on his way back to Seir that day.
| فَمَضَى عِيسُو فِي طَرِيقِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ رَاجِعاً إِلَى سَعِيرَ. | ١٦ |
17 But Jacob headed to Succoth, where he built himself a house and shelters for the livestock. That's why the place is called Succoth.
| أَمَّا يَعْقُوبُ فَارْتَحَلَ إِلَى سُكُّوتَ، وَبَنَى لِنَفْسِهِ بَيْتاً وَصَنَعَ لِمَوَاشِيهِ مِظَلاتٍ. لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانُ بِاسْمِ سُكُّوتَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الْمِظَلاتُ). | ١٧ |
18 Later Jacob continued his journey from Paddan-aram. He arrived safely at Shechem in the country of Canaan where he camped outside the town.
| ثُمَّ وَصَلَ يَعْقُوبُ سَالِماً مَدِينَةَ شَكِيمَ (وَهِيَ نَابُلْسُ) الَّتِي فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، عَلَى طَرِيقِهِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى سَهْلِ أَرَامَ، وَنَصَبَ خِيَامَهُ مُقَابِلَ الْمَدِينَةِ، | ١٨ |
19 He bought the plot of ground where he was camping from the sons of Hamor, the founder of Shechem, for 100 pieces of money.
| وَاشْتَرَى الأَرْضَ الَّتِي نَصَبَ عَلَيْهَا خَيْمَتَهُ، مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ حَمُورَ أَبِي شَكِيمَ بِمِئَةِ قِطْعَةٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ. | ١٩ |
20 He built an altar there and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
| وَشَيَّدَ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً دَعَاهُ إِيلَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ). | ٢٠ |
