Genesis 35
1 God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ اللهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «اصْعَدْ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَاسْكُنْ هُنَاكَ، وَشَيِّدْ مَذْبَحاً لِلهِ الَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَكَ عِنْدَمَا كُنْتَ هَارِباً مِنْ أَمَامِ أَخِيكَ عِيسُو». | ١ |
2 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments.
| فَأَمَرَ يَعْقُوبُ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ، وَكُلَّ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ: «تَخَلَّصُوا مِنَ الآلِهَةِ الْغَرِيبَةِ الَّتِي بَيْنَكُمْ، وَتَطَهَّرُوا وَأَبْدِلُوا ثِيَابَكُمْ، | ٢ |
3 Let’s arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me on the way which I went.”
| ثُمَّ تَعَالَوْا لِنَذْهَبَ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ لأُشَيِّدَ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً لِلهِ الَّذِي اسْتَجَابَ لِي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقَتِي، وَرَافَقَنِي فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي سَلَكْتُهَا». | ٣ |
4 They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
| فَسَلَّمُوا يَعْقُوبَ كُلَّ الآلِهَةِ الْغَرِيبَةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ لَدَيْهِمْ وَالأَقْرَاطَ الَّتِي فِي آذَانِهِمْ، فَطَمَرَ هَا يَعْقُوبُ تَحْتَ الْبُطْمَةِ الَّتِي فِي شَكِيمَ. | ٤ |
5 They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t pursue the sons of Jacob.
| ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلُوا، فَهَيْمَنَ رُعْبُ اللهِ عَلَى الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي حَوْلَهُمْ، فَلَمْ يَسْعَوْا وَرَاءَهُمْ | ٥ |
6 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
| فَوَصَلَ يَعْقُوبُ وَجَمِيعُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ إِلَى لُوزَ فِي أَرْضِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ، وَهِيَ نَفْسُهَا بَيْتُ إِيلَ. | ٦ |
7 He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
| وَشَيَّدَ مَذْبَحاً هُنَاكَ، وَدَعَا الْمَكَانَ «بَيْتَ إِيلَ» لأَنَّ اللهَ تَجَلَّى لَهُ هُنَاكَ عِنْدَمَا كَانَ هَارِباً مِنْ أَمَامِ أَخِيهِ. | ٧ |
8 Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.
| وَمَاتَتْ هُنَاكَ دَبُورَةُ مُرْضِعَةُ رِفْقَةَ، فَدُفِنَتْ فِي مُنْخَفَضِ بَيْتِ إِيلَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةِ الْبَلُّوطِ، وَسَمُّوهَا «أَلُّونَ بَاكُوتَ» (وَمَعْنَاهَا: بَلُّوطَةُ الْبُكَاءِ). | ٨ |
9 God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.
| وَظَهَرَ اللهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى بَعْدَ رُجُوعِهِ مِنْ سَهْلِ أَرَامَ وَبَارَكَهُ، | ٩ |
10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel.” He named him Israel.
| وَقَالَ لَهُ: «لَنْ يُدْعَى اسْمُكَ يَعْقُوبَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ، بَلْ إِسْرَائِيلَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: يُجَاهِدُ مَعَ اللهِ). وَهَكَذَا سَمَّاهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ |
11 God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.
| وَقَالَ اللهُ لَهُ: «أَنَا هُوَ اللهُ الْقَدِيرُ. أَثْمِرْ وَاكْثُرْ، فَيَكُونَ مِنْكَ أُمَّةٌ وَطَوَائِفُ أُمَمٍ، وَمِنْ صُلْبِكَ يَخْرُجُ مُلُوكٌ. | ١١ |
12 The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your offspring after you I will give the land.”
| وَالأَرْضُ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحاقَ أُعْطِيهَا لَكَ وَلِذُرِّيَّتِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ أَيْضاً». | ١٢ |
13 God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
| ثُمَّ فَارَقَهُ اللهُ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي خَاطَبَهُ فِيهِ. | ١٣ |
14 Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.
| وَأَقَامَ يَعْقُوبُ عَمُوداً مِنْ حَجَرٍ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ مَعَهُ، وَسَكَبَ عَلَيْهِ سَكِيبَ قُرْبَانٍ وَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِ زَيْتاً أَيْضاً. | ١٤ |
15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him “Bethel”.
| وَدَعَا اسْمَ الْمَكَانِ «بَيْتَ إِيلَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: بَيْتُ اللهِ) لأَنَّ اللهَ خَاطَبَهُ هُنَاكَ. | ١٥ |
16 They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.
| ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ. وَإِذْ كَانُوا بَعْدُ عَلَى مَسَافَةٍ مِنْ أَفْرَاتَةَ شَعَرَتْ رَاحِيلُ بِالْمَخَاضِ وَتَعَسَّرَتْ وِلادَتُهَا. | ١٦ |
17 When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”
| وَإِذْ كَانَتْ تُقَاسِي فِي وِلادَتِهَا قَالَتْ لَهَا الْقَابِلَةُ: «لا تَخَافِي، فَإِنَّ هَذَا أَيْضاً ابْنٌ آخَرُ لَكِ». | ١٧ |
18 As her soul was departing (for she died), she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَتْ تَلْفِظُ أَنْفَاسَهَا عِنْدَ مَوْتِهَا دَعَتْهُ «بِنْ أُوْنِي» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: ابْنُ حُزْنِي) غَيْرَ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ دَعَاهُ «بِنْيَامِينَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: ابْنُ يَمِينِي). | ١٨ |
19 Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).
| ثُمَّ مَاتَتْ رَاحِيلُ وَدُفِنَتْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى أَفْرَاتَةَ، أَيْ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ. | ١٩ |
20 Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.
| وَأَقَامَ يَعْقُوبُ عَمُوداً عَلَى قَبْرِهَا، وَهُوَ الْمَعْرُوفُ بِعَمُودِ قَبْرِ رَاحِيلَ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ. | ٢٠ |
21 Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.
| وَتَابَعَ إِسْرَائِيلُ رَحِيلَهُ وَنَصَبَ خِيَامَهُ وَرَاءَ «بُرْجِ عِدْرٍ» | ٢١ |
22 While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ إِسْرَائِيلُ يُقِيمُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ مَضَى رَأُوبَيْنُ وَضَاجَعَ بِلْهَةَ سُرِّيَّةَ أَبِيهِ. وَعَرَفَ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِالأَمْرِ. وَهَؤُلاءِ هُمْ أَبْنَاءُ يَعْقُوبَ الاثْنَا عَشَرَ: | ٢٢ |
23 The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
| أَبْنَاءُ لَيْئَةَ: رَأُوبَيْنُ بِكْرُ يَعْقُوبَ، وَشِمْعُونُ وَلاوِي وَيَهُوذَا وَيَسَّاكَرُ وَزَبُولُونُ. | ٢٣ |
24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
| وَابْنَا رَاحِيلَ: يُوسُفُ وَبَنْيَامِينُ. | ٢٤ |
25 The sons of Bilhah (Rachel’s servant): Dan and Naphtali.
| وَابْنَا بِلْهَةَ جَارِيَةِ رَاحِيلَ: دَانٌ وَنَفْتَالِي. | ٢٥ |
26 The sons of Zilpah (Leah’s servant): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
| وَابْنَا زِلْفَةَ جَارِيَةِ لَيْئَةَ: جَادٌ وَأَشِيرُ. وَهَؤُلاءِ هُمْ أَوْلادُ يَعْقُوبَ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لَهُ فِي سَهْلِ أَرَامَ. | ٢٦ |
27 Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.
| وَقَدِمَ يَعْقُوبُ عَلَى إِسْحاقَ أَبِيهِ إِلَى مَمْرَا فِي قَرْيَةِ أَرْبَعَ الْمَعْرُوفَةِ بِحَبْرُونَ حَيْثُ تَغَرَّبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَإِسْحاقُ. | ٢٧ |
28 The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.
| وَعَاشَ إِسْحاقُ مِئَةً وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً، | ٢٨ |
29 Isaac gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
| ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ رُوحَهُ وَلَحِقَ بِقَوْمِهِ شَيْخاً طَاعِناً فِي السِّنِّ وَدَفَنَهُ ابْنَاهُ عِيسُو وَيَعْقُوبُ. | ٢٩ |
