Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
| ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَعْقُوبُ رِجْلَيْهِ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى أَرْضِ بَنِي ٱلْمَشْرِقِ. | ١ |
2 And he looked, and behold, a well in the field, and lo, there [were] three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone [was] upon the well's mouth.
| وَنَظَرَ وَإِذَا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ بِئْرٌ وَهُنَاكَ ثَلَاثَةُ قُطْعَانِ غَنَمٍ رَابِضَةٌ عِنْدَهَا، لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْبِئْرِ يَسْقُونَ ٱلْقُطْعَانَ، وَٱلْحَجَرُ عَلَى فَمِ ٱلْبِئْرِ كَانَ كَبِيرًا. | ٢ |
3 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in its place.
| فَكَانَ يَجْتَمِعُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْقُطْعَانِ فَيُدَحْرِجُونَ ٱلْحَجَرَ عَنْ فَمِ ٱلْبِئْرِ وَيَسْقُونَ ٱلْغَنَمَ، ثُمَّ يَرُدُّونَ ٱلْحَجَرَ عَلَى فَمِ ٱلْبِئْرِ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ. | ٣ |
4 And Jacob said to them, My brethren, whence [are] ye? And they said, We [are] from Haran.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَعْقُوبُ: «يَا إِخْوَتِي، مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ؟» فَقَالُوا: «نَحْنُ مِنْ حَارَانَ». | ٤ |
5 And he said to them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? and they said, We know [him].
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَ لَابَانَ ٱبْنَ نَاحُورَ؟» فَقَالُوا: «نَعْرِفُهُ». | ٥ |
6 And he said to them, [Is] he well? And they said, [He is] well: and behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَلْ لَهُ سَلَامَةٌ؟» فَقَالُوا: «لَهُ سَلَامَةٌ. وَهُوَذَا رَاحِيلُ ٱبْنَتُهُ آتِيَةٌ مَعَ ٱلْغَنَمِ». | ٦ |
7 And he said, Lo, [it is] yet high day, neither [is it] time that the cattle should be collected: water ye the sheep, and go [and] feed [them].
| فَقَالَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلنَّهَارُ بَعْدُ طَوِيلٌ. لَيْسَ وَقْتَ ٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلْمَوَاشِي. اِسْقُوا ٱلْغَنَمَ وَٱذْهَبُوا ٱرْعَوْا». | ٧ |
8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks are collected, and [till] they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
| فَقَالُوا: «لَا نَقْدِرُ حَتَّى تَجْتَمِعَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْقُطْعَانِ وَيُدَحْرِجُوا ٱلْحَجَرَ عَنْ فَمِ ٱلْبِئْرِ، ثُمَّ نَسْقِي ٱلْغَنَمَ». | ٨ |
9 And while he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
| وَإِذْ هُوَ بَعْدُ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُمْ أَتَتْ رَاحِيلُ مَعَ غَنَمِ أَبِيهَا، لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَرْعَى. | ٩ |
10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother; that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
| فَكَانَ لَمَّا أَبْصَرَ يَعْقُوبُ رَاحِيلَ بِنْتَ لَابَانَ خَالِهِ، وَغَنَمَ لَابَانَ خَالِهِ، أَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ تَقَدَّمَ وَدَحْرَجَ ٱلْحَجَرَ عَنْ فَمِ ٱلْبِئْرِ وَسَقَى غَنَمَ لَابَانَ خَالِهِ. | ١٠ |
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
| وَقَبَّلَ يَعْقُوبُ رَاحِيلَ وَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ وَبَكَى. | ١١ |
12 And Jacob told Rachel that he [was] her father's brother, and that he [was] Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father.
| وَأَخْبَرَ يَعْقُوبُ رَاحِيلَ أَنَّهُ أَخُو أَبِيهَا، وَأَنَّهُ ٱبْنُ رِفْقَةَ، فَرَكَضَتْ وَأَخْبَرَتْ أَبَاهَا. | ١٢ |
13 And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
| فَكَانَ حِينَ سَمِعَ لَابَانُ خَبَرَ يَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنِ أُخْتِهِ أَنَّهُ رَكَضَ لِلِقَائِهِ وَعَانَقَهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ وَأَتَى بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ. فَحَدَّثَ لَابَانَ بِجَمِيعِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ. | ١٣ |
14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou [art] my bone and my flesh: and he abode with him the space of a month.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ لَابَانُ: «إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ عَظْمِي وَلَحْمِي». فَأَقَامَ عِنْدَهُ شَهْرًا مِنَ ٱلزَّمَانِ. | ١٤ |
15 And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou [art] my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for naught? tell me, what [shall] thy wages [be]?
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لَابَانُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «أَلِأَنَّكَ أَخِي تَخْدِمُنِي مَجَّانًا؟ أَخْبِرْنِي مَا أُجْرَتُكَ». | ١٥ |
16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder [was] Leah, and the name of the younger [was] Rachel.
| وَكَانَ لِلَابَانَ ٱبْنَتَانِ، ٱسْمُ ٱلْكُبْرَى لَيْئَةُ وَٱسْمُ ٱلصُّغْرَى رَاحِيلُ. | ١٦ |
17 Leah [was] tender-eyed, but Rachel was beautiful and well-favored.
| وَكَانَتْ عَيْنَا لَيْئَةَ ضَعِيفَتَيْنِ، وَأَمَّا رَاحِيلُ فَكَانَتْ حَسَنَةَ ٱلصُّورَةِ وَحَسَنَةَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ. | ١٧ |
18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
| وَأَحَبَّ يَعْقُوبُ رَاحِيلَ، فَقَالَ: «أَخْدِمُكَ سَبْعَ سِنِينٍ بِرَاحِيلَ ٱبْنَتِكَ ٱلصُّغْرَى». | ١٨ |
19 And Laban said, [It is] better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
| فَقَالَ لَابَانُ: «أَنْ أُعْطِيَكَ إِيَّاهَا أَحْسَنُ مِنْ أَنْ أُعْطِيَهَا لِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ. أَقِمْ عِنْدِي». | ١٩ |
20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him [but] a few days, for the love he had to her.
| فَخَدَمَ يَعْقُوبُ بِرَاحِيلَ سَبْعَ سِنِينٍ، وَكَانَتْ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ كَأَيَّامٍ قَلِيلَةٍ بِسَبَبِ مَحَبَّتِهِ لَهَا. | ٢٠ |
21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give [me] my wife (for my days are fulfilled) that I may go in to her.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِلَابَانَ: «أَعْطِنِي ٱمْرَأَتِي لِأَنَّ أَيَّامِي قَدْ كَمُلَتْ، فَأَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهَا». | ٢١ |
22 And Laban assembled all the men of the place, and made a feast.
| فَجَمَعَ لَابَانُ جَمِيعَ أَهْلِ ٱلْمَكَانِ وَصَنَعَ وَلِيمَةً. | ٢٢ |
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ أَنَّهُ أَخَذَ لَيْئَةَ ٱبْنَتَهُ وَأَتَى بِهَا إِلَيْهِ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا. | ٢٣ |
24 And Laban gave to his daughter Leah, Zilpah his maid [for] a handmaid.
| وَأَعْطَى لَابَانُ زِلْفَةَ جَارِيَتَهُ لِلَيْئَةَ ٱبْنَتِهِ جَارِيَةً. | ٢٤ |
25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it [was] Leah: and he said to Laban, What [is] this thou hast done to me? did I not serve with thee for Rachel? why then hast thou deceived me?
| وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ إِذَا هِيَ لَيْئَةُ، فَقَالَ لِلَابَانَ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتَ بِي؟ أَلَيْسَ بِرَاحِيلَ خَدَمْتُ عِنْدَكَ؟ فَلِمَاذَا خَدَعْتَنِي؟». | ٢٥ |
26 And Laban said, it must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the first-born.
| فَقَالَ لَابَانُ: «لَا يُفْعَلُ هَكَذَا فِي مَكَانِنَا أَنْ تُعْطَى ٱلصَّغِيرَةُ قَبْلَ ٱلْبِكْرِ. | ٢٦ |
27 Fulfill her week, and we will give thee this also, for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
| أَكْمِلْ أُسْبُوعَ هَذِهِ، فَنُعْطِيَكَ تِلْكَ أَيْضًا، بِٱلْخِدْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي تَخْدِمُنِي أَيْضًا سَبْعَ سِنِينٍ أُخَرَ». | ٢٧ |
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel, his daughter, for a wife also.
| فَفَعَلَ يَعْقُوبُ هَكَذَا. فَأَكْمَلَ أُسْبُوعَ هَذِهِ، فَأَعْطَاهُ رَاحِيلَ ٱبْنَتَهُ زَوْجَةً لَهُ. | ٢٨ |
29 And Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter, Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her maid.
| وَأَعْطَى لَابَانُ رَاحِيلَ ٱبْنَتَهُ بِلْهَةَ جَارِيَتَهُ جَارِيَةً لَهَا. | ٢٩ |
30 And he went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
| فَدَخَلَ عَلَى رَاحِيلَ أَيْضًا، وَأَحَبَّ أَيْضًا رَاحِيلَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ لَيْئَةَ. وَعَادَ فَخَدَمَ عِنْدَهُ سَبْعَ سِنِينٍ أُخَرَ. | ٣٠ |
31 And when the LORD saw that Leah [was] hated, he made her fruitful: but Rachel [was] barren.
| وَرَأَى ٱلرَّبُّ أَنَّ لَيْئَةَ مَكْرُوهَةٌ فَفَتَحَ رَحِمَهَا، وَأَمَّا رَاحِيلُ فَكَانَتْ عَاقِرًا. | ٣١ |
32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
| فَحَبِلَتْ لَيْئَةُ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «رَأُوبَيْنَ»، لِأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ نَظَرَ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي. إِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ يُحِبُّنِي رَجُلِي». | ٣٢ |
33 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I [was] hated, he hath therefore given me this [son] also: and she called his name Simeon.
| وَحَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا، وَقَالَتْ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ سَمِعَ أَنِّي مَكْرُوهَةٌ فَأَعْطَانِي هَذَا أَيْضًا». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «شِمْعُونَ». | ٣٣ |
34 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time will my husband adhere to me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
| وَحَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا، وَقَالَتِ: «ٱلْآنَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ يَقْتَرِنُ بِي رَجُلِي، لِأَنِّي وَلَدْتُ لَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ بَنِينَ». لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُهُ «لَاوِيَ». | ٣٤ |
35 And she conceived again, and bore a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah, and left bearing.
| وَحَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا وَقَالَتْ: «هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ أَحْمَدُ ٱلرَّبَّ». لِذَلِكَ دَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «يَهُوذَا». ثُمَّ تَوَقَّفَتْ عَنِ ٱلْوِلَادَةِ. | ٣٥ |
