< Genesis 28 >

1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
فَدَعَا إِسْحَاقُ يَعْقُوبَ وَبَارَكَهُ، وَأَوْصَاهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «لَا تَأْخُذْ زَوْجَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ.١
2 Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
قُمِ ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ، إِلَى بَيْتِ بَتُوئِيلَ أَبِي أُمِّكَ، وَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ زَوْجَةً مِنْ هُنَاكَ، مِنْ بَنَاتِ لَابَانَ أَخِي أُمِّكَ.٢
3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
وَٱللهُ ٱلْقَدِيرُ يُبَارِكُكَ، وَيَجْعَلُكَ مُثْمِرًا، وَيُكَثِّرُكَ فَتَكُونُ جُمْهُورًا مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ.٣
4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land in which thou art a stranger, which God gave to Abraham.
وَيُعْطِيكَ بَرَكَةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَكَ وَلِنَسْلِكَ مَعَكَ، لِتَرِثَ أَرْضَ غُرْبَتِكَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهَا ٱللهُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ».٤
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padan-aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
فَصَرَفَ إِسْحَاقُ يَعْقُوبَ فَذَهَبَ إِلَى فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ، إِلَى لَابَانَ بْنِ بَتُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّ، أَخِي رِفْقَةَ أُمِّ يَعْقُوبَ وَعِيسُوَ.٥
6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him, he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
فَلَمَّا رَأَى عِيسُو أَنَّ إِسْحَاقَ بَارَكَ يَعْقُوبَ وَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ لِيَأْخُذَ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ هُنَاكَ زَوْجَةً، إِذْ بَارَكَهُ وَأَوْصَاهُ قَائِلًا: «لَا تَأْخُذْ زَوْجَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ».٦
7 And that Jacob obeyed his father, and his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram;
وَأَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ سَمِعَ لِأَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ،.٧
8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
رَأَى عِيسُو أَنَّ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ شِرِّيرَاتٌ فِي عَيْنَيْ إِسْحَاقَ أَبِيهِ،٨
9 Then went Esau to Ishmael, and took to the wives which he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
فَذَهَبَ عِيسُو إِلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَأَخَذَ مَحْلَةَ بِنْتَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أُخْتَ نَبَايُوتَ، زَوْجَةً لَهُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ.٩
10 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went towards Haran.
فَخَرَجَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ وَذَهَبَ نَحْوَ حَارَانَ.١٠
11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set: and he took of the stones of that place, and put [them for] his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
وَصَادَفَ مَكَانًا وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّمْسَ كَانَتْ قَدْ غَابَتْ، وَأَخَذَ مِنْ حِجَارَةِ ٱلْمَكَانِ وَوَضَعَهُ تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ، فَٱضْطَجَعَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ.١١
12 And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder set upon the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
وَرَأَى حُلْمًا، وَإِذَا سُلَّمٌ مَنْصُوبَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَرَأْسُهَا يَمَسُّ ٱلسَّمَاءَ، وَهُوَذَا مَلَائِكَةُ ٱللهِ صَاعِدَةٌ وَنَازِلَةٌ عَلَيْهَا.١٢
13 And behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I [am] the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.
وَهُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ وَاقِفٌ عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ: «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكَ وَإِلَهُ إِسْحَاقَ. ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ مُضْطَجِعٌ عَلَيْهَا أُعْطِيهَا لَكَ وَلِنَسْلِكَ.١٣
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth; and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
وَيَكُونُ نَسْلُكَ كَتُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَمْتَدُّ غَرْبًا وَشَرْقًا وَشَمَالًا وَجَنُوبًا، وَيَتَبَارَكُ فِيكَ وَفِي نَسْلِكَ جَمِيعُ قَبَائِلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٤
15 And behold, I [am] with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land: for I will not leave thee, until I have done [that] which I have declared to thee.
وَهَا أَنَا مَعَكَ، وَأَحْفَظُكَ حَيْثُمَا تَذْهَبُ، وَأَرُدُّكَ إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ حَتَّى أَفْعَلَ مَا كَلَّمْتُكَ بِهِ».١٥
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew [it] not.
فَٱسْتَيْقَظَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَقَالَ: «حَقًّا إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ وَأَنَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ!».١٦
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful [is] this place! this [is] no other but the house of God, and this [is] the gate of heaven.
وَخَافَ وَقَالَ: «مَا أَرْهَبَ هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانَ! مَا هَذَا إِلَا بَيْتُ ٱللهِ، وَهَذَا بَابُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ».١٧
18 And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put [for] his pillows, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
وَبَكَّرَ يَعْقُوبُ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَأَخَذَ ٱلْحَجَرَ ٱلَّذِي وَضَعَهُ تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ وَأَقَامَهُ عَمُودًا، وَصَبَّ زَيْتًا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ.١٨
19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of that city [was called] Luz at the first.
وَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «بَيْتَ إِيلَ»، وَلَكِنِ ٱسْمُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ أَوَّلًا كَانَ لُوزَ.١٩
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
وَنَذَرَ يَعْقُوبُ نَذْرًا قَائِلًا: «إِنْ كَانَ ٱللهُ مَعِي، وَحَفِظَنِي فِي هَذَا ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا سَائِرٌ فِيهِ، وَأَعْطَانِي خُبْزًا لِآكُلَ وَثِيَابًا لِأَلْبَسَ،٢٠
21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
وَرَجَعْتُ بِسَلَامٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي، يَكُونُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي إِلَهًا،٢١
22 And this stone, which I have set [for] a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me, I will surely give the tenth to thee.
وَهَذَا ٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلَّذِي أَقَمْتُهُ عَمُودًا يَكُونُ بَيْتَ ٱللهِ، وَكُلُّ مَا تُعْطِينِي فَإِنِّي أُعَشِّرُهُ لَكَ».٢٢
