Genesis 30
1 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
| وَعِنْدَمَا تَبَيَّنَتْ رَاحِيلُ أَنَّهَا عَاقِرٌ، غَارَتْ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا، وَقَالَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «هَبْ لِي بَنِينَ وَإلَّا فَإِنِّي أَمُوتُ». | ١ |
2 And Jacob’s anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, [Am] I in God’s stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
| فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ يَعْقُوبَ عَلَى رَاحِيلَ وَقَالَ: «أَلَعَلِّي أَقُومُ مَقَامَ اللهِ الَّذِي حَرَمَكِ مِنَ الإِنْجَابِ؟» | ٢ |
3 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «هَا هِيَ جَارِيَتِي بِلْهَةُ، عَاشِرْهَا فَتَلِدَ وَيَكُونَ لِي مِنْهَا بَنُونَ». | ٣ |
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
| وَأَعْطَتْهُ بِلْهَةَ زَوْجَةً فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا يَعْقُوبُ. | ٤ |
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
| وَحَمَلَتْ بِلْهَةُ وَأَنْجَبَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ ابْناً. | ٥ |
6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
| فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ: «قَدْ قَضَى اللهُ لِي وَأَصْغَى لِصَوْتِي وَرَزَقَنِي ابْناً». لِذَلِكَ دَعَتْهُ دَاناً (وَمَعْنَاهُ: قَاضٍ). | ٦ |
7 And Bilhah Rachel’s maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
| ثُمَّ حَمَلَتْ بِلْهَةُ جَارِيَةُ رَاحِيلَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَأَنْجَبَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ ابْناً ثَانِياً، | ٧ |
8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
| فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ: «قَدْ تَصَارَعْتُ مَعَ أُخْتِي مُصَارَعَاتٍ عَنِيفَةً وَظَفِرْتُ». وَدَعَتْهُ نَفْتَالِي (وَمَعْنَاهُ: مُصَارَعَتِي). | ٨ |
9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ لَيْئَةُ أَنَّهَا كَفَّتْ عَنِ الْوِلادَةِ، أَخَذَتْ جَارِيَتَهَا زِلْفَةَ وَأَعْطَتْهَا لِيَعْقُوبَ زَوْجَةً، | ٩ |
10 And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob a son.
| فَأَنْجَبَتْ زِلْفَةُ جَارِيَةُ لَيْئَةَ لِيَعْقُوبَ ابْناً | ١٠ |
11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
| فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «يَا لَحُسْنِ الْحَظِّ!» وَدَعَتْهُ جَاداً (وَمَعْنَاهُ: فَأْلٌ حَسَنٌ، أَوْ كَتِيبَةٌ قَادِمَةٌ). | ١١ |
12 And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob a second son.
| وَأَنْجَبَتْ زِلْفَةُ جَارِيَةُ لَيْئَةُ ابْناً ثَانِياً لِيَعْقُوبَ، | ١٢ |
13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
| فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «يَا لَغِبْطَتِي، لأَنَّ النِّسَاءَ سَيَدْعُونَنِي الْمَغْبُوطَةَ». وَأَسْمَتْهُ أَشِيْرَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: سَعِيدٌ أَوْ مَغْبُوطٌ). | ١٣ |
14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son’s mandrakes.
| وَذَهَبَ رَأُوبَيْنُ فِي مَوْسِمِ حَصَادِ الْقَمْحِ إِلَى الْحَقْلِ، فَعَثَرَ فِيهِ عَلَى نَبَاتِ اللُّفَّاحِ وَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى أُمِّهِ لَيْئَةَ. فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ لِلَيْئَةَ: «أَعْطِنِي مِنْ لُفَّاحِ ابْنِكِ». | ١٤ |
15 And she said unto her, [Is it] a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son’s mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son’s mandrakes.
| فَأَجَابَتْهَا: «أَلَمْ يَكْفِ أَنَّكِ أَخَذْتِ مِنِّي زَوْجِي، وَالآنَ تُرِيِدينَ أَنْ تَأْخُذِي لُفَّاحَ ابْنِي أَيْضاً؟» فَأَجَابَتْهَا رَاحِيلُ: «إِذاً يُعَاشِرُكِ اللَّيلَةَ لِقَاءَ لُفَّاحِ ابْنِكِ». | ١٥ |
16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَجَعَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنَ الْحَقَلِ فِي الْمَسَاءِ خَرَجَتْ لَيْئَةُ لِلِقَائِهِ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «إِلَيَّ تَجِيءُ اللَّيْلَةَ لأَنَّنِي قَدِ اسْتَأْجَرْتُكَ بِلُفَّاحِ ابْنِي». فَعَاشَرَهَا فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ. | ١٦ |
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
| وَاسْتَجَابَ اللهُ لِلَيْئَةَ فَحَمَلَتْ وَأَنْجَبَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ ابْناً خَامِساً. | ١٧ |
18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
| فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «قَدْ أَعْطَانِي اللهُ أُجْرَتِي لأَنَّنِي وَهَبْتُ جَارِيَتِي لِزَوْجِي». وَدَعَتْهُ يَسَّاكَرَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: يَعْمَلُ بِأُجْرَةٍ) | ١٨ |
19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
| وَحَبِلَتْ لَيْئَةُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَأَنْجَبَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ ابْناً سَادِساً. | ١٩ |
20 And Leah said, God hath endued me [with] a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
| وَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «قَدَ وَهَبَنِي اللهُ هِبَةً ثَمِينَةً، وَالآنَ يُقِيمُ مَعِي زَوْجِي لأَنِّي أَنْجَبْتُ لَهُ سِتَّةَ بَنِينَ». وَدَعَتْهُ زَبُولُونَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ إِقَامَةُ). | ٢٠ |
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
| ثُمَّ أَنْجَبَتِ ابْنَةً دَعَتْهَا «دِينَةَ». | ٢١ |
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
| وَذَكَرَ اللهُ رَاحِيلَ وَاسْتَجَابَ لَهَا وَفَتَحَ رَحِمَهَا، | ٢٢ |
23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
| فَحَمَلَتْ وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً وَقَالَتْ: «قَدَ نَزَعَ اللهُ عَنِّي عَارِي». | ٢٣ |
24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
| وَدَعَتْهُ يُوسُفَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ يَزِيدُ) قَائِلَةً: «لِيَزِدْنِي الرَّبُّ ابْناً آخَرَ». | ٢٤ |
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
| وَعِنْدَمَا وَلَدَتْ رَاحِيلُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِلابَانَ: «أَخْلِ سَبِيلِي فَأَنْطَلِقَ إِلَى بَلَدِي وَإِلَى أَرْضِي، | ٢٥ |
26 Give [me] my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
| وَأَعْطِنِي نِسَائِي وَأَوْلادِي الَّذِينَ خَدَمْتُكَ بِهِمْ، وَدَعْنِي أَمْضِي، فَأَنْتَ تُدْرِكُ أَيَّةَ خِدْمَةٍ خَدَمْتُكَ». | ٢٦ |
27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, [tarry: for] I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ لابَانُ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ فَأَرْجُوكَ أَنْ تَمْكُثَ مَعِي، لأَنَّنِي عَرَفْتُ بِالتَّفَاؤُلِ بِالْغَيْبِ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ بَارَكَنِي بِفَضْلِكَ». | ٢٧ |
28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give [it].
| وَأَضَافَ: «عَيِّنْ لِي أُجْرَتَكَ فَأُعْطِيَكَ إِيَّاهَا». | ٢٨ |
29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ كَيْفَ خَدَمْتُكَ، وَمَاذَا آلَتْ إِلَيْهِ مَوَاشِيكَ تَحْتَ رِعَايَتِي، | ٢٩ |
30 For [it was] little which thou hadst before I [came], and it is [now] increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
| فَالْقَلِيلُ الَّذِي كَانَ لَكَ قَبْلَ مَجِيئِي ازْدَادَ أَضْعَافاً كَثِيرَةً، فَبَارَكَكَ الرَّبُّ مُنْذُ أَنْ قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْكَ، وَالآنَ مَتَى أَشْرَعُ فِي تَحْصِيلِ رِزْقِ عَائِلَتِي؟» | ٣٠ |
31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed [and] keep thy flock:
| فَسَأَلَهُ: «مَاذَا أُعْطِيكَ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «لا تُعْطِنِي شَيْئاً. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ أَرَدْتَ، فَاصْنَعْ لِي هَذَا الأَمْرَ الْوَاحِدَ فَأَذْهَبَ وَأَرْعَى غَنَمَكَ وَأَعْتَنِيَ بِها: | ٣١ |
32 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and [of such] shall be my hire.
| دَعْنِي أَمُرُّ الْيَوْمَ بَيْنَ مَوَاشِيكَ كُلِّهَا، فَتَعْزِلَ مِنْهَا كُلَّ شَاةٍ رَقْطَاءَ وَبَلْقَاءَ وَسَوْدَاءَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْخِرْفَانِ، وَكُلَّ بَلْقَاءَ وَرَقْطَاءَ بَيْنَ الْمِعْزَى، فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ أُجْرَتِي. | ٣٢ |
33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that [is] not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
| وَتَكُونُ أَمَانَتِي شَاهِدَةً عَلَى صِدْقِ خِدْمَتِي فِي مُسْتَقْبَلِ الأَيَّامِ. فَإِذَا جِئْتَ تَفْحَصُ أُجْرَتِي، وَوَجَدْتَ عِنْدِي مَا لَيْسَ أَرْقَطَ أَوْ أَبْلَقَ بَيْنَ الْمِعْزَى وَأَسْوَدَ بَيْنَ الْخِرْفَانِ، يَكُونُ مَسْرُوقاً عِنْدِي». | ٣٣ |
34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
| فَقَالَ لابَانُ: «لِيَكُنْ وَفْقاً لِقَوْلِكَ». | ٣٤ |
35 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, [and] every one that had [some] white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave [them] into the hand of his sons.
| وَعَزَلَ لابَانُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ التُّيُوسَ الْمُخَطَّطَةَ وَالْبَلْقَاءَ، وَكُلَّ عَنْزٍ رَقْطَاءَ وَبَلْقَاءَ، كُلَّ مَا فِيهِ بَيَاضٌ وَكُلَّ خَرُوفٍ أَسْوَدَ. وَعَهِدَ بِها إِلَى أَبْنَاءِ يَعْقُوبَ. | ٣٥ |
36 And he set three days’ journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
| وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ يَعْقُوبَ مَسَافَةَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَاسْتَمَرَّ يَعْقُوبُ يَرْعَى مَوَاشِي لابَانَ. | ٣٦ |
37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which [was] in the rods.
| وَأَخَذَ يَعْقُوبُ قُضْبَاناً خَضْرَاءَ مِنْ أَشْجَارِ اللُّبْنَى وَاللَّوْزِ وَالدُّلْبِ وَقَلَّمَهَا بِخُطُوطٍ بَيْضَاءَ كَاشِفاً عَمَّا تَحْتَ الْقِشْرَةِ مِنْ بَيَاضٍ، | ٣٧ |
38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
| وَنَصَبَ الْقُضْبَانَ الَّتِي قَلَّمَهَا تِجَاهَ الْغَنَمِ فِي أَجْرَانِ مَسَاقِي الْمَاءِ حَيْثُ تَرِدُ الْمَوَاشِي، فَتَتَوَحَّمُ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا مَا أَقْبَلَتْ لِتَشْرَبَ. | ٣٨ |
39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
| فَكَانَتِ الْغَنَمُ تَتَوَحَّمُ عِنْدَ الْقُضْبَانِ، فَتَلِدُ غَنَماً مُخَطَّطَةً وَرَقْطَاءَ وَبَلْقَاءَ. | ٣٩ |
40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban’s cattle.
| وَفَرَزَ يَعْقُوبُ الْحُمْلانَ، وَجَعَلَ مُقَدِّمَةَ الْمَوَاشِي فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ كُلِّ مَا هُوَ مُخَطَّطٌ وَأَسْوَدُ مِنْ غَنَمِ لابَانَ، وَأَقَامَ لِنَفْسِهِ قُطْعَاناً عَلَى حِدَةٍ بِمَعْزِلٍ عَنْ غَنَمِ لابَانَ. | ٤٠ |
41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
| فَكَانَ يَعْقُوبُ كُلَّمَا تَوَحَّمَتِ الْغَنَمُ الْقَوِيَّةُ يَنْصِبُ الْقُضْبَانَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ الْمَوَاشِي فِي الأَجْرَانِ لِتَتَوَحَّمَ بَيْنَ الْقُضْبَانِ. | ٤١ |
42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put [them] not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
| وَحِينَ تَكُونُ الْغَنَمُ ضَعِيفَةً، لَا يَضَعُ الْقُضْبَانَ أَمَامَهَا، فَصَارَتِ الضَّعِيفَةُ لِلابَانَ وَالْقَوِيَّةُ لِيَعْقُوبَ. | ٤٢ |
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
| فَاغْتَنَى الرَّجُلُ جِدّاً، وَكَثُرَتْ مَوَاشِيهِ وَجَوَارِيهِ وَعَبِيدُهُ وَجِمَالُهُ وَحَمِيرُهُ. | ٤٣ |
