< Genesis 33 >

1 And Jacob lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, Esau is coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divideth the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two maid-servants;
وَتَطَلَّعَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، فَرَأَى عِيسُو مُقْبِلاً وَمَعَهُ أَرْبَعُ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ، فَفَرَّق أَوْلادَهُ عَلَى لَيْئَةَ وَرَاحِيلَ وَالْجَارِيَتَيْنِ.١
2 and he setteth the maid-servants and their children first, and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
فَجَعَلَ الْجَارِيَتَيْنِ وَأَوْلادَهُمَا فِي الطَّلِيعَةِ، ثُمَّ لَيْئَةَ وَأَوْلادَهَا، وَأَخِيراً رَاحِيلَ وَيُوسُفَ.٢
3 And he himself passed over before them, and boweth himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing nigh unto his brother,
وَتَقَدَّمَهُمْ، وَسَجَدَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ حَتَّى اقْتَرَبَ مِنْ أَخِيهِ.٣
4 and Esau runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and falleth on his neck, and kisseth him, and they weep;
فَأَسْرَعَ عِيسُو لِمُلاقَاتِهِ وَعَانَقَهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ، وَبَكَيَا.٤
5 and he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the women and the children, and saith, 'What [are] these to thee?' And he saith, 'The children with whom God hath favoured thy servant.'
وَتَلَفَّتَ عِيسُو حَوْلَهُ فَشَاهَدَ النِّسَاءَ وَالأَوْلادَ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ هَؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «هُمُ الأَوْلادُ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللهُ بِهِمْ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ».٥
6 And the maid-servants draw nigh, they and their children, and bow themselves;
ثُمَّ دَنَتِ الْجَارِيَتَانِ مَعَ أَوْلادِهِمَا وَانْحَنَوْا أَمَامَ عِيسُو.٦
7 and Leah also draweth nigh, and her children, and they bow themselves; and afterwards Joseph hath drawn nigh with Rachel, and they bow themselves.
وَبَعْدَهُمْ اقْتَرَبَتْ لَيْئَةُ وَأَوْلادُهَا وَانْحَنَوْا أَيْضاً، وَأَخِيراً تَقَدَّمَتْ رَاحِيلُ وَيُوسُفُ وَانْحَنَيَا أَمَامَهُ.٧
8 And he saith, 'What to thee [is] all this camp which I have met?' and he saith, 'To find grace in the eyes of my lord.'
وَسَأَلَ عِيسُو: «مَا هُوَ قَصْدُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ هَذِهِ الْقُطْعَانِ الَّتِي صَادَفْتُهَا؟». فَأَجَابَ يَعْقُوبُ: «هِيَ لِكَيْ أَحْظَى بِرِضَى سَيِّدِي».٨
9 And Esau saith, 'I have abundance, my brother, let it be to thyself that which thou hast.'
فَقَالَ عِيسُو: «إِنَّ لَدَيَّ كَثِيراً يَا أَخِي. فَاحْتَفِظْ لِنَفْسِكَ بِمَا لَكَ».٩
10 And Jacob saith, 'Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, then thou hast received my present from my hand, because that I have seen thy face, as the seeing of the face of God, and thou art pleased with me;
فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «لا، إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ، فَأَرْجُو مِنْكَ أَنْ تَقْبَلَ مِنِّي هَدِيَّتِي لأَنِّي رَأَيْتُ وَجْهَكَ كَمَا يُرَى وَجْهُ اللهِ، فَرَضِيتَ عَنِّي.١٠
11 receive, I pray thee, my blessing, which is brought to thee, because God hath favoured me, and because I have all [things];' and he presseth on him, and he receiveth,
فَأَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَقْبَلَ بَرَكَتِي الَّتِي حَمَلْتُهَا إِلَيْكَ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَغْدَقَ عَلَيَّ، وَلَدَيَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ». وَأَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى قَبِلَ.١١
12 and saith, 'Let us journey and go on, and I go on before thee.'
وَقَالَ عِيسُو: «لِنَرْتَحِلْ فَأَسِيرَ أَمَامَكَ وَتَتْبَعَنِي».١٢
13 And he saith unto him, 'My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the suckling flock and the herd [are] with me; when they have beaten them one day, then hath all the flock died.
فَأَجَابَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الأَوْلادَ مَا بَرِحُوا أَطْرِيَاءَ الْعُودِ، وَغَنَمِي وَبَقَرِي مُرْضِعَةٌ، فَإِنْ أَجْهَدْتُهَا يَوْماً وَاحِداً فَإِنَّ كُلَّ الْغَنَمِ تَمُوتُ.١٣
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant, and I — I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work which [is] before me, and to the foot of the children, until that I come unto my lord, to Seir.'
فَلْيَتَقَدَّمْ مَوْلايَ عَبْدَهُ، وَأَنَا أَسِيرُ مُتَمَهِّلاً فِي إِثْرِ الْمَاشِيَةِ الَّتِي أَمَامِي، وَفِي إِثْرِ الأَوْلادِ أَيْضاً، إِلَى أَنْ أُقْبِلَ عَلَى سَيِّدِي فِي سَعِيرَ».١٤
15 And Esau saith, 'Let me, I pray thee, place with thee some of the people who [are] with me;' and he said, 'Why [is] this? I find grace in the eyes of my lord.'
فَقَالَ لَهُ عِيسُو: «إِذاً أَتْرُكُ مَعَكَ بَعْضَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ مَعِي». فَأَجَابَهُ: «وَأَيُّ حَاجَةٍ لِذَلِكَ؟ إِنَّ كُلَّ مَا أَطْلُبُهُ هُوَ أَنْ أَحْظَى بِرِضَى سَيِّدِي».١٥
16 And turn back on that day doth Esau on his way to Seir;
فَمَضَى عِيسُو فِي طَرِيقِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ رَاجِعاً إِلَى سَعِيرَ.١٦
17 and Jacob hath journeyed to Succoth, and buildeth to himself a house, and for his cattle hath made booths, therefore hath he called the name of the place Succoth.
أَمَّا يَعْقُوبُ فَارْتَحَلَ إِلَى سُكُّوتَ، وَبَنَى لِنَفْسِهِ بَيْتاً وَصَنَعَ لِمَوَاشِيهِ مِظَلاتٍ. لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانُ بِاسْمِ سُكُّوتَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الْمِظَلاتُ).١٧
18 And Jacob cometh in to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and encampeth before the city,
ثُمَّ وَصَلَ يَعْقُوبُ سَالِماً مَدِينَةَ شَكِيمَ (وَهِيَ نَابُلْسُ) الَّتِي فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، عَلَى طَرِيقِهِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى سَهْلِ أَرَامَ، وَنَصَبَ خِيَامَهُ مُقَابِلَ الْمَدِينَةِ،١٨
19 and he buyeth the portion of the field where he hath stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitah;
وَاشْتَرَى الأَرْضَ الَّتِي نَصَبَ عَلَيْهَا خَيْمَتَهُ، مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ حَمُورَ أَبِي شَكِيمَ بِمِئَةِ قِطْعَةٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ.١٩
20 and he setteth up there an altar, and proclaimeth at it God — the God of Israel.
وَشَيَّدَ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً دَعَاهُ إِيلَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ).٢٠
