Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the people of the east.
| وَتَابَعَ يَعْقُوبُ رِحْلَتَهُ حَتَّى وَصَلَ أَرْضَ حَارَانَ. | ١ |
2 He looked and saw a well in the field, and look, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well's mouth was large.
| وَتَطَلَّعَ حَوْلَهُ فَشَاهَدَ بِئْراً فِي الْحَقْلِ، تَرْبِضُ عِنْدَهَا ثَلاثَةُ قُطْعَانِ غَنَمٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَسْقُونَ الْقُطْعَانَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْبِئْرِ. وَكَانَ الْحَجَرُ الَّذِي عَلَى فَمِ الْبِئْرِ كَبِيراً، | ٢ |
3 Now all the flocks would be gathered there, and they would roll the stone from the well's mouth, and water the sheep, and put the stone again on the well's mouth in its place.
| فَكَانَ رُعَاةُ جَمِيعِ الْقُطْعَانِ يَجْتَمِعُونَ هُنَاكَ، وَيُدَحْرِجُونَ الْحَجَرَ عَنْ فَمِ الْبِئْرِ وَيَسْقُونَ الْغَنَمَ. ثُمَّ يَرُدُّونَ الْحَجَرَ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِ عَلَى فَمِ الْبِئْرِ. | ٣ |
4 Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where are you from?" They said, "We are from Haran."
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَعْقُوبُ: «يَا إِخْوَتِي مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ؟» فَأَجَابُوا: «نَحْنُ مِنْ حَارَانَ». | ٤ |
5 He said to them, "Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."
| فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «أَتَعْرِفُونَ لابَانَ بْنَ نَاحُورَ؟» فَأَجَابُوا: «نَعْرِفُهُ». | ٥ |
6 He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep."
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَهُوَ بِخَيْرٍ؟». فَأَجَابُوهُ: «هُوَ بِخَيْرٍ، وَهَا هِيَ رَاحِيلُ ابْنَتُهُ مُقْبِلَةٌ مَعَ الْغَنَمِ». | ٦ |
7 He said, "Look, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them."
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هُوَذَا النَّهَارُ مَازَالَ طَوِيلاً، وَلَيْسَ هَذَا أَوَانَ اجْتِمَاعِ الْمَوَاشِي، فَاسْقُوا الْغَنَمَ وَامْضُوا بِها إلَى الْمَرَاعِي». | ٧ |
8 They said, "We can't, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep."
| فَقَالُوا: «لا يُمْكِنُنَا ذَلِكَ إِلّا بَعْدَ أَنْ تَجْتَمِعَ جَمِيعُ الْقُطْعَانِ وَرُعَاتُهَا فَيُدَحْرِجُوا الْحَجَرَ عَنْ فَمِ الْبِئْرِ، فَنَسْقِي الْغَنَمَ». | ٨ |
9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was tending them.
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ أَقْبَلَتْ رَاحِيلُ مَعَ غَنَمِ أَبِيهَا لأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ رَاعِيَةً أَيْضاً. | ٩ |
10 It happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob went over and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَآهَا يَعْقُوبُ، تَقَدَّمَ وَدَحْرَجَ الْحَجَرَ عَنْ فَمِ الْبِئْرِ وَسَقَى غَنَمَ خَالِهِ لابَانَ. | ١٠ |
11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and wept loudly.
| وَقَبَّلَ يَعْقُوبُ رَاحِيلَ وَأَجْهَشَ بِالْبُكَاءِ، | ١١ |
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. She ran and told her father.
| ثُمَّ أَخْبَرَهَا أَنَّهُ قَرِيبُ وَالِدِهَا وَأَنَّهُ ابْنُ رِفْقَةَ. فَرَكَضَتْ وَأَخْبَرَتْ أَبَاهَا. | ١٢ |
13 It happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister's son, that he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.
| فَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ لابَانُ بِخَبَرِ ابْنِ أُخْتِهِ أَسْرَعَ لِلِقَائِهِ وَعَانَقَهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ وَأَحْضَرَهُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ. فَقَصَّ يَعْقُوبُ عَلَى لابَانَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ. | ١٣ |
14 Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." He lived with him for a month.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ لابَانُ: «حَقّاً إِنَّكَ عَظْمِي وَلَحْمِي». وَأَقَامَ عِنْدَهُ نَحْوَ شَهْرٍ مِنَ الزَّمَانِ. | ١٤ |
15 Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be?"
| وَقَالَ لابَانُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «هَلْ لأَنَّكَ قَرِيبِي تَخْدُمُنِي مَجَّاناً؟ أَخْبِرْنِي مَا أُجْرَتُكَ؟» | ١٥ |
16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
| وَكَانَ لِلابَانَ ابْنَتَانِ، اسْمُ الْكُبْرَى لَيْئَةُ وَاسْمُ الصُّغْرَى رَاحِيلُ، | ١٦ |
17 Leah looked rather plain, but Rachel was beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance.
| وَكَانَتْ لَيْئَةُ ضَعِيفَةَ الْبَصَرِ، وَأَمَّا رَاحِيلُ فَكَانَتْ جَمِيلَةَ الصُّورَةِ وَحَسَنَةَ الْمَنْظَرِ. | ١٧ |
18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter."
| فَأَحَبَّ يَعْقُوبُ رَاحِيلَ. وَأَجَابَ يَعْقُوبُ خَالَهُ: «أَخْدِمُكَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ لِقَاءَ زَوَاجِي بِرَاحِيلَ ابْنَتِكَ الصُّغْرَى». | ١٨ |
19 Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."
| فَقَالَ لابَانُ: «أَنْ أُزَوِّجَهَا مِنْكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ أزَوِّجَهَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ، فَامْكُثْ عِنْدِي». | ١٩ |
20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and it seemed only a few days to him because of his love for her.
| فَخَدَمَ يَعْقُوبُ سَبْعَ سَنَوَاتٍ لِيَتَزَوَّجَ مِنْ رَاحِيلَ بَدَتْ فِي نَظَرِهِ كَأَيَّامٍ قَلِيلَةٍ، لِفَرْطِ مَحَبَّتِهِ لَهَا. | ٢٠ |
21 Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my time is completed, so that I may sleep with her."
| ثُمَّ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِلابَانَ: «أَعْطِنِي زَوْجَتِي لأَنَّ خِدْمَتِي قَدْ كَمُلَتْ فَأَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهَا». | ٢١ |
22 Laban gathered together all the people of the place, and gave a feast.
| فَجَمَعَ لابَانُ سَائِرَ أَهْلِ النَّاحِيَةِ وَأَقَامَ لَهُمْ مَأْدُبَةً. | ٢٢ |
23 It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he slept wit her.
| وَعِنْدَمَا حَلَّ الْمَسَاءُ حَمَلَ ابْنَتَهُ لَيْئَةَ وَزَفَّهَا إِلَيْهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا | ٢٣ |
24 Laban gave Zilpah his female servant to his daughter Leah as a servant.
| وَوَهَبَ لابَانُ زِلْفَةَ جَارِيَتَهُ لِتَكُونَ جَارِيَةً لابْنَتِهِ لَيْئَةَ. | ٢٤ |
25 It happened in the morning that, look, it was Leah. He said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not work for you to have Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"
| وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ اكْتَشَفَ يَعْقُوبُ أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ بِلَيْئَةَ، فَقَالَ لِلابَانَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِي؟ أَلَمْ أَخْدِمْكَ سَبْعَ سَنَوَاتٍ لِقَاءَ زَوَاجِي مِنْ رَاحِيلَ؟ فَلِمَاذَا خَدَعْتَنِي؟». | ٢٥ |
26 Laban said, "It is not our custom here to give the younger before the firstborn.
| فَأَجَابَهُ لابَانُ: «لَيْسَ مِنْ عَادَةِ بِلادِنَا أَنْ نُزَوِّجَ الصَّغِيرَةَ قَبْلَ الْبِكْرِ. | ٢٦ |
27 Finish the week of this one, and I will give you the other also in exchange for the work which you are to serve with me for another seven years."
| أَكْمِلْ أُسْبُوعَ لَيْئَةَ ثُمَّ نُزَوِّجُكَ مِنْ رَاحِيلَ، لِقَاءَ خِدْمَتِكَ لِي سَبْعَ سِنِينَ أُخَرَ». | ٢٧ |
28 Then Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
| فَوَافَقَ يَعْقُوبُ، وَأَكْمَلَ أُسْبُوعَ لَيْئَةَ، فَأَعْطَاهُ لابَانُ رَاحِيلَ ابْنَتَهُ زَوْجَةً أَيْضاً. | ٢٨ |
29 Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his female servant, to be her servant.
| وَوَهَبَ لابَانُ بِلْهَةَ جَارِيَتَهُ لِتَكُونَ جَارِيَةً لابْنَتِهِ رَاحِيلَ. | ٢٩ |
30 So he slept with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he worked with him another seven years.
| فَدَخَلَ يَعْقُوبُ عَلَى رَاحِيلَ أَيْضاً، وَأَحَبَّ رَاحِيلَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ لَيْئَةَ. وَخَدَمَ خَالَهُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ أُخَرَ. | ٣٠ |
31 The LORD saw that Leah was unloved, so he made her fertile, but Rachel was barren.
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى الرَّبُّ أَنَّ لَيْئَةَ مَكْرُوهَةٌ جَعَلَهَا مُنْجِبَةً، أَمَّا رَاحِيلُ فَكَانَتْ عَاقِراً. | ٣١ |
32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, "Because God has looked at my affliction, and given me a son. For now my husband will love me."
| فَحَمَلَتْ لَيْئَةُ وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً دَعَتْهُ رَأُوبَيْنَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: هُوَذَا ابْنٌ) لأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «حَقّاً قَدْ نَظَرَ الرَّبُّ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي، فَالآنَ يُحِبُّنِي زَوْجِي». | ٣٢ |
33 She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, "Because God has heard that I am unloved, he has therefore given me this son also." So she named him Simeon.
| وَحَمَلَتْ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً، فَقَالَتْ: «لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ سَمِعَ أَنَّنِي كُنْتُ مَكْرُوهَةً رَزَقَنِي هَذَا الابْنَ أَيْضاً». فَدَعَتْهُ شِمْعُونَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: سَمِيعٌ) | ٣٣ |
34 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "Now this time my husband will become attached to me, since I have given him three sons." Therefore he was named Levi.
| ثُمَّ حَمَلَتْ مَرَّةً ثَالِثَةً وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً فَقَالَتْ: «الآنَ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةِ يَتَّحِدُ بِي زَوْجِي، لأَنَّنِي أَنْجَبْتُ لَهُ ثَلاثَةَ بَنِينَ». لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ اسْمُهُ لاوِي (وَمَعْنَاهُ: مُتَّحِدٌ) | ٣٤ |
35 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "This time will I praise God." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
| وَحَبِلَتْ مَرَّةً رَابِعَةً وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً فَقَالَتْ: «فِي هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةِ أَحْمَدُ الرَّبَّ». لِذَلِكَ دَعَتْهُ يَهُوذَا (وَمَعْنَاهُ: حَمْدٌ). ثُمَّ تَوَقَّفَتْ عَنِ الْوِلادَةِ. | ٣٥ |
