Genesis 30
1 And Rachel saw she had borne no children unto Jacob, so Rachel became envious of her sister, —and said unto Jacob, Come! give me children, or else, I die.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ رَاحِيلُ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَلِدْ لِيَعْقُوبَ، غَارَتْ رَاحِيلُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا، وَقَالَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «هَبْ لِي بَنِينَ، وَإِلَا فَأَنَا أَمُوتُ!». | ١ |
2 Then kindled the anger of Jacob with Rachel, —and he said, Am I, in the place of God, 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, Lo! my handmaid, Bilhah. Go in unto her, —that she may bear upon my knees, so that, I also, may be builded up 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, to wife, —and Jacob went in unto her;
| فَأَعْطَتْهُ بِلْهَةَ جَارِيَتَهَا زَوْجَةً، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا يَعْقُوبُ، | ٤ |
5 and Bilhah conceived, and bare unto Jacob a son;
| فَحَبِلَتْ بِلْهَةُ وَوَلَدَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنًا، | ٥ |
6 and Rachel said God hath vindicated me. Moreover also he hath hearkened unto my voice, and hath given me a son. For this cause, 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 handmaid conceived again, and bare a second son to Jacob.
| وَحَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا بِلْهَةُ جَارِيَةُ رَاحِيلَ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا ثَانِيًا لِيَعْقُوبَ، | ٧ |
8 Then said Rachel With wrestlings of God, have I wrestled with my sister Yea I have prevailed. So she called his name, Naphtali.
| فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ: «مُصَارَعَاتِ ٱللهِ قَدْ صَارَعْتُ أُخْتِي وَغَلَبْتُ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «نَفْتَالِي». | ٨ |
9 Then saw Leah, that she had left off bearing, —so she took Zilpah, her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ لَيْئَةُ أَنَّهَا تَوَقَّفَتْ عَنِ ٱلْوِلَادَةِ، أَخَذَتْ زِلْفَةَ جَارِيَتَهَا وَأَعْطَتْهَا لِيَعْقُوبَ زَوْجَةً، | ٩ |
10 And Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid, bare to Jacob a son:
| فَوَلَدَتْ زِلْفَةُ جَارِيَةُ لَيْئَةَ لِيَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنًا. | ١٠ |
11 and Leah said, Victory hath come! So she called his name Gad.
| فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «بِسَعْدٍ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «جَادًا». | ١١ |
12 And Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid bare a second son to Jacob;
| وَوَلَدَتْ زِلْفَةُ جَارِيَةُ لَيْئَةَ ٱبْنًا ثَانِيًا لِيَعْقُوبَ، | ١٢ |
13 and Leah said, For my happiness, surely happy have daughters pronounced me. So she called his name, Asher.
| فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «بِغِبْطَتِي، لِأَنَّهُ تُغَبِّطُنِي بَنَاتٌ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «أَشِيرَ». | ١٣ |
14 Then went Reuben, in the days of the wheat harvest, and found mandrakes, in the field, and brought them in unto Leah his mother, and Rachel said unto Leah, Pray give me, some of the mandrakes of thy son
| 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 to her, Is it, a small thing, that thou hast taken away my husband? And wouldst thou take away, even the mandrakes of my son? Then said Rachel, Therefore, shall he lie with thee to-night, for the mandrakes of thy son.
| 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 in from the field, in the evening, so Leah went out to meet him and said: Unto me, shalt thou come in, for I have hired, thee, even with the mandrakes of my son. 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 bare to Jacob a fifth son.
| وَسَمِعَ ٱللهُ لِلَيْئَةَ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنًا خَامِسًا. | ١٧ |
18 Then said Leah. God hath given my hire, in that I gave my handmaid to my husband. So 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 bare a sixth son to Jacob.
| وَحَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا لَيْئَةُ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا سَادِسًا لِيَعْقُوبَ، | ١٩ |
20 Then said Leah, God hath dowered me even me with a hand-some dowry, Now! will my husband dwell with me, for I have borne him six sons. So she called his name, Zebulon.
| فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «قَدْ وَهَبَنِي ٱللهُ هِبَةً حَسَنَةً. ٱلْآنَ يُسَاكِنُنِي رَجُلِي، لِأَنِّي وَلَدْتُ لَهُ سِتَّةَ بَنِينَ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «زَبُولُونَ». | ٢٠ |
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, —so she called her name, Dinah.
| ثُمَّ وَلَدَتِ ٱبْنَةً وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهَا «دِينَةَ». | ٢١ |
22 Then God remembered Rachel, —and God hearkened unto her, and granted her to bear.
| وَذَكَرَ ٱللهُ رَاحِيلَ، وَسَمِعَ لَهَا ٱللهُ وَفَتَحَ رَحِمَهَا، | ٢٢ |
23 So she conceived and bare a son, —and said, God hath taken away my reproach;
| فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا فَقَالَتْ: «قَدْ نَزَعَ ٱللهُ عَارِي». | ٢٣ |
24 So she called his name Joseph, saying, Yahweh is adding unto 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, Let me go that I may take my journey, unto my place, and to my land.
| وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا وَلَدَتْ رَاحِيلُ يُوسُفَ أَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ لِلَابَانَ: «ٱصْرِفْنِي لِأَذْهَبَ إِلَى مَكَانِي وَإِلَى أَرْضِي. | ٢٥ |
26 Come, give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee and let me take my journey, —for, thou, knowest my service wherewith 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 pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, …I have divined that Yahweh hath blessed me for thy sake.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ لَابَانُ: «لَيْتَنِي أَجِدُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ. قَدْ تَفَاءَلْتُ فَبَارَكَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ بِسَبَبِكَ». | ٢٧ |
28 And he said, —Come, fix thy wages for me, that I may give it!
| وَقَالَ: «عَيِّنْ لِي أُجْرَتَكَ فَأُعْطِيَكَ». | ٢٨ |
29 And he said unto him, Thou, knowest how I have served thee, —and how thy cattle have fared, with me.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ مَاذَا خَدَمْتُكَ، وَمَاذَا صَارَتْ مَوَاشِيكَ مَعِي، | ٢٩ |
30 For it was, little, that thou hadst—before I came and then it brake forth into multitude, and Yahweh blessed thee at my every step. Now, therefore, when am, I, also to do something 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 shall give me, nothing at all, If thou wilt do for me this thing, I will return, I will shepherd thy flock I will keep it:
| فَقَالَ: «مَاذَا أُعْطِيكَ؟» فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «لَا تُعْطِينِي شَيْئًا. إِنْ صَنَعْتَ لِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ أَعُودُ أَرْعَى غَنَمَكَ وَأَحْفَظُهَا: | ٣١ |
32 Let me pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every young one that is speckled and spotted and every young one that is dark-coloured among the young sheep, and spotted and speckled among the goats, and they shall be my wages.
| 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 answer for me on a future day, when thou shall come in respecting my hire that is before thee, Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and dark-coloured among the young sheep, stolen, shall it be accounted, if found 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 Then said Laban, Lo! would it might be according to thy word!
| فَقَالَ لَابَانُ: «هُوَذَا لِيَكُنْ بِحَسَبِ كَلَامِكَ». | ٣٤ |
35 So he removed, on that day, the he-goats that were striped and spotted and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and every dark-coloured one among the young sheep, —and delivered 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 then put he a journey of three days between himself and Jacob, —but, Jacob himself, continued tending the flocks of Laban that were left.
| وَجَعَلَ مَسِيرَةَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَكَانَ يَعْقُوبُ يَرْعَى غَنَمَ لَابَانَ ٱلْبَاقِيَةَ. | ٣٦ |
37 So then Jacob took him rods of young storax, and hazel and maple, —and peeled in them white stripes, 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 channels in the troughs of water, —where the flocks came in to drink straight before the flocks, and the females of the flock used to be in heat when they came in 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 males of the flock were in heat before the rods, —so the flocks brought forth ring-straked, speckled, and spotted.
| فَتَوَحَّمَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ عِنْدَ ٱلْقُضْبَانِ، وَوَلَدَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ مُخَطَّطَاتٍ وَرُقْطًا وَبُلْقًا. | ٣٩ |
40 The rams also, did Jacob separate, and then set the faces of the flocks towards the ring-straked and all the dark-coloured, among the flocks of Laban, —and he put his own droves by themselves, and put them not with the flocks of Laban.
| وَأَفْرَزَ يَعْقُوبُ ٱلْخِرْفَانَ وَجَعَلَ وُجُوهَ ٱلْغَنَمِ إِلَى ٱلْمُخَطَّطِ وَكُلِّ أَسْوَدَ بَيْنَ غَنَمِ لَابَانَ. وَجَعَلَ لَهُ قُطْعَانًا وَحْدَهُ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْهَا مَعَ غَنَمِ لَابَانَ. | ٤٠ |
41 So it came to pass whensoever the stronger of the flocks were in heat, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flocks in the channels, —that the females might be in heat 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 flocks were late in bearing, he did not set them, —and so the late-born were Laban’s, but the strong ones Jacob’s.
| وَحِينَ ٱسْتَضْعَفَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ لَمْ يَضَعْهَا، فَصَارَتِ ٱلضَّعِيفَةُ لِلَابَانَ وَٱلْقَوِيَّةُ لِيَعْقُوبَ. | ٤٢ |
43 Thus did the man break forth, exceedingly, —thus came he to have flocks in abundance, and maid-servants, and men-servants and camels and asses.
| فَٱتَّسَعَ ٱلرَّجُلُ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا، وَكَانَ لَهُ غَنَمٌ كَثِيرٌ وَجَوَارٍ وَعَبِيدٌ وَجِمَالٌ وَحَمِيرٌ. | ٤٣ |
