< Genesis 30 >

1 And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said unto Jacob, Give me children, and if not, I die.
فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ رَاحِيلُ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَلِدْ لِيَعْقُوبَ، غَارَتْ رَاحِيلُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا، وَقَالَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «هَبْ لِي بَنِينَ، وَإِلَا فَأَنَا 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?
فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ يَعْقُوبَ عَلَى رَاحِيلَ وَقَالَ: «أَلَعَلِّي مَكَانَ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي مَنَعَ عَنْكِ ثَمْرَةَ ٱلْبَطْنِ؟».٢
3 And she said, Behold, [here is] my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
فَقَالَتْ: «هُوَذَا جَارِيَتِي بِلْهَةُ، ٱدْخُلْ عَلَيْهَا فَتَلِدَ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيَّ، وَأُرْزَقُ أَنَا أَيْضًا مِنْهَا بَنِينَ».٣
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid for wife, and Jacob went in unto her.
فَأَعْطَتْهُ بِلْهَةَ جَارِيَتَهَا زَوْجَةً، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا يَعْقُوبُ،٤
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
فَحَبِلَتْ بِلْهَةُ وَوَلَدَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنًا،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 لِيَ ٱللهُ وَسَمِعَ أَيْضًا لِصَوْتِي وَأَعْطَانِيَ ٱبْنًا». لِذَلِكَ دَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «دَانًا».٦
7 And Bilhah, Rachel's maid, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
وَحَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا بِلْهَةُ جَارِيَةُ رَاحِيلَ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا ثَانِيًا لِيَعْقُوبَ،٧
8 And Rachel said, Contests of God have I contended with my sister, I have also prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ: «مُصَارَعَاتِ ٱللهِ قَدْ صَارَعْتُ أُخْتِي وَغَلَبْتُ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «نَفْتَالِي».٨
9 When Leah now saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her to Jacob for wife.
وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ لَيْئَةُ أَنَّهَا تَوَقَّفَتْ عَنِ ٱلْوِلَادَةِ، أَخَذَتْ زِلْفَةَ جَارِيَتَهَا وَأَعْطَتْهَا لِيَعْقُوبَ زَوْجَةً،٩
10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bore Jacob a son.
فَوَلَدَتْ زِلْفَةُ جَارِيَةُ لَيْئَةَ لِيَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنًا.١٠
11 And Leah said, Good luck hath come: and she called his name Gad.
فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «بِسَعْدٍ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «جَادًا».١١
12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bore a second son unto Jacob.
وَوَلَدَتْ زِلْفَةُ جَارِيَةُ لَيْئَةَ ٱبْنًا ثَانِيًا لِيَعْقُوبَ،١٢
13 And Leah said, To my happiness; for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «بِغِبْطَتِي، لِأَنَّهُ تُغَبِّطُنِي بَنَاتٌ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «أَشِيرَ».١٣
14 And Reuben went in the days of the wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and he brought them unto Leah his mother; then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, [some] of thy son's mandrakes.
وَمَضَى رَأُوبَيْنُ فِي أَيَّامِ حَصَادِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ فَوَجَدَ لُفَّاحًا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ وَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى لَيْئَةَ أُمِّهِ. فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ لِلَيْئَةَ: «أَعْطِينِي مِنْ لُفَّاحِ ٱبْنِكِ».١٤
15 And she said unto her, Is it not enough that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldst thou also take away my son's mandrakes? And Rachel said, Therefore shall he be with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.
فَقَالَتْ لَهَا: «أَقَلِيلٌ أَنَّكِ أَخَذْتِ رَجُلِي فَتَأْخُذِينَ لُفَّاحَ ٱبْنِي أَيْضًا؟» فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ: «إِذًا يَضْطَجِعُ مَعَكِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ عِوَضًا عَنْ لُفَّاحِ ٱبْنِكِ».١٥
16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Unto me thou must come in; for surely I have obtained thee as a reward with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
فَلَمَّا أَتَى يَعْقُوبُ مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ فِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ، خَرَجَتْ لَيْئَةُ لِمُلَاقَاتِهِ وَقَالَتْ: «إِلَيَّ تَجِيءُ لِأَنِّي قَدِ ٱسْتَأْجَرْتُكَ بِلُفَّاحِ ٱبْنِي». فَٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ.١٦
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.
وَسَمِعَ ٱللهُ لِلَيْئَةَ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنًا خَامِسًا.١٧
18 And Leah said, God hath given me my reward, because I have given my maid to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «قَدْ أَعْطَانِي ٱللهُ أُجْرَتِي، لِأَنِّي أَعْطَيْتُ جَارِيَتِي لِرَجُلِي». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «يَسَّاكَرَ».١٨
19 And Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son unto Jacob.
وَحَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا لَيْئَةُ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا سَادِسًا لِيَعْقُوبَ،١٩
20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons; and she called his name Zebulun.
فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «قَدْ وَهَبَنِي ٱللهُ هِبَةً حَسَنَةً. ٱلْآنَ يُسَاكِنُنِي رَجُلِي، لِأَنِّي وَلَدْتُ لَهُ سِتَّةَ بَنِينَ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «زَبُولُونَ».٢٠
21 And afterward she bore a daughter, and she called her name Dinah.
ثُمَّ وَلَدَتِ ٱبْنَةً وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهَا «دِينَةَ».٢١
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
وَذَكَرَ ٱللهُ رَاحِيلَ، وَسَمِعَ لَهَا ٱللهُ وَفَتَحَ رَحِمَهَا،٢٢
23 And she conceived, and bore a son; and she said, God hath taken away my reproach.
فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا فَقَالَتْ: «قَدْ نَزَعَ ٱللهُ عَارِي».٢٣
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying, The Lord shall add to me another son.
وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «يُوسُفَ» قَائِلَةً: «يَزِيدُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ ٱبْنًا آخَرَ».٢٤
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto my own place, and to my country.
وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا وَلَدَتْ رَاحِيلُ يُوسُفَ أَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ لِلَابَانَ: «ٱصْرِفْنِي لِأَذْهَبَ إِلَى مَكَانِي 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 with which I have served thee.
أَعْطِنِي نِسَائِي وَأَوْلَادِي ٱلَّذِينَ خَدَمْتُكَ بِهِمْ فَأَذْهَبَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ خِدْمَتِي ٱلَّتِي خَدَمْتُكَ».٢٦
27 And Laban said unto him, If I could but find favor in thy eyes; I have learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake:
فَقَالَ لَهُ لَابَانُ: «لَيْتَنِي أَجِدُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ. قَدْ تَفَاءَلْتُ فَبَارَكَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ بِسَبَبِكَ».٢٧
28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give them.
وَقَالَ: «عَيِّنْ لِي أُجْرَتَكَ فَأُعْطِيَكَ».٢٨
29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and what thy cattle hath become with me.
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ مَاذَا خَدَمْتُكَ، وَمَاذَا صَارَتْ مَوَاشِيكَ مَعِي،٢٩
30 For it was a little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased into a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming; and now when shall I provide also for my own house?
لِأَنَّ مَا كَانَ لَكَ قَبْلِي قَلِيلٌ فَقَدِ ٱتَّسَعَ إِلَى كَثِيرٍ، وَبَارَكَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي أَثَرِي. وَٱلْآنَ مَتَى أَعْمَلُ أَنَا أَيْضًا لِبَيْتِي؟».٣٠
31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me the least; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:
فَقَالَ: «مَاذَا أُعْطِيكَ؟» فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «لَا تُعْطِينِي شَيْئًا. إِنْ صَنَعْتَ لِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ أَعُودُ أَرْعَى غَنَمَكَ وَأَحْفَظُهَا:٣١
32 I will pass through all thy flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted lamb, and every brown lamb among the sheep, and whatever is spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be after this my reward.
أَجْتَازُ بَيْنَ غَنَمِكَ كُلِّهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ، وَٱعْزِلْ أَنْتَ مِنْهَا كُلَّ شَاةٍ رَقْطَاءَ وَبَلْقَاءَ، وَكُلَّ شَاةٍ سَوْدَاءَ بَيْنَ ٱلْخِرْفَانِ، وَبَلْقَاءَ وَرَقْطَاءَ بَيْنَ ٱلْمِعْزَى. فَيَكُونَ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ أُجْرَتِي.٣٢
33 And my righteousness shall testify for me in time to come, when it shall come with my reward 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.
وَيَشْهَدُ فِيَّ بِرِّي يَوْمَ غَدٍ إِذَا جِئْتَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أُجْرَتِي قُدَّامَكَ. كُلُّ مَا لَيْسَ أَرْقَطَ أَوْ أَبْلَقَ بَيْنَ ٱلْمِعْزَى وَأَسْوَدَ بَيْنَ ٱلْخِرْفَانِ فَهُوَ مَسْرُوقٌ عِنْدِي».٣٣
34 And Laban said, Well, let it be according to thy word.
فَقَالَ لَابَانُ: «هُوَذَا لِيَكُنْ بِحَسَبِ كَلَامِكَ».٣٤
35 And he removed on that day the he-goats that were ring-streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had some white on it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
فَعَزَلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلتُّيُوسَ ٱلْمُخَطَّطَةَ وَٱلْبَلْقَاءَ، وَكُلَّ ٱلْعِنَازِ ٱلرَّقْطَاءِ وَٱلْبَلْقَاءِ، كُلَّ مَا فِيهِ بَيَاضٌ وَكُلَّ أَسْوَدَ بَيْنَ ٱلْخِرْفَانِ، وَدَفَعَهَا إِلَى أَيْدِي بَنِيهِ.٣٥
36 And he put a space of three days' journey between himself and Jacob; and Jacob fed the flocks of Laban that were left.
وَجَعَلَ مَسِيرَةَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَكَانَ يَعْقُوبُ يَرْعَى غَنَمَ لَابَانَ ٱلْبَاقِيَةَ.٣٦
37 And Jacob took himself rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and peeled thereon white streaks, laying bare the white which was on the rods.
فَأَخَذَ يَعْقُوبُ لِنَفْسِهِ قُضْبَانًا خُضْرًا مِنْ لُبْنَى وَلَوْزٍ وَدُلْبٍ، وَقَشَّرَ فِيهَا خُطُوطًا بِيضًا، كَاشِطًا عَنِ ٱلْبَيَاضِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْقُضْبَانِ.٣٧
38 And he set the rods which he had peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink, just before the flocks, and where they conceived, when they came to drink.
وَأَوْقَفَ ٱلْقُضْبَانَ ٱلَّتِي قَشَّرَهَا فِي ٱلْأَجْرَانِ فِي مَسَاقِي ٱلْمَاءِ حَيْثُ كَانَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ تَجِيءُ لِتَشْرَبَ، تُجَاهَ ٱلْغَنَمِ، لِتَتَوَحَّمَ عِنْدَ مَجِيئِهَا لِتَشْرَبَ.٣٨
39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.
فَتَوَحَّمَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ عِنْدَ ٱلْقُضْبَانِ، وَوَلَدَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ مُخَطَّطَاتٍ وَرُقْطًا وَبُلْقًا.٣٩
40 And these lambs did Jacob separate, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked, and whatever was brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not with Laban's cattle.
وَأَفْرَزَ يَعْقُوبُ ٱلْخِرْفَانَ وَجَعَلَ وُجُوهَ ٱلْغَنَمِ إِلَى ٱلْمُخَطَّطِ وَكُلِّ أَسْوَدَ بَيْنَ غَنَمِ لَابَانَ. وَجَعَلَ لَهُ قُطْعَانًا وَحْدَهُ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْهَا مَعَ غَنَمِ لَابَانَ.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.
وَحَدَثَ كُلَّمَا تَوَحَّمَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ ٱلْقَوِيَّةُ أَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ وَضَعَ ٱلْقُضْبَانَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْغَنَمِ فِي ٱلْأَجْرَانِ لِتَتَوَحَّمَ بَيْنَ ٱلْقُضْبَانِ.٤١
42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in; so the feebler belonged to Laban, and the stronger to Jacob.
وَحِينَ ٱسْتَضْعَفَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ لَمْ يَضَعْهَا، فَصَارَتِ ٱلضَّعِيفَةُ لِلَابَانَ وَٱلْقَوِيَّةُ لِيَعْقُوبَ.٤٢
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and he had many flocks, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses.
فَٱتَّسَعَ ٱلرَّجُلُ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا، وَكَانَ لَهُ غَنَمٌ كَثِيرٌ وَجَوَارٍ وَعَبِيدٌ وَجِمَالٌ وَحَمِيرٌ.٤٣
