پیدایش 28
| پس اسحاق یعقوب را فرا‌خوانده، او را برکت داد و به او گفت: «با هیچ‌یک از این دختران کنعانی ازدواج نکن. | 1 |
Then Isaac summoned Jacob, and gave him a blessing. He told him, “Do not marry a woman of the Canaan people-group.
| بلکه بلند شو و به فَدّان‌اَرام، به خانهٔ پدر بزرگت بتوئیل برو و با یکی از دختران دایی خود لابان ازدواج کن. | 2 |
Instead, go right away to Paddan-Aram [in northwest Mesopotamia], to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel. Ask one of the daughters of your mother’s brother Laban to marry you.
| خدای قادر مطلق تو را برکت دهد و به تو فرزندان بسیار ببخشد تا از نسل تو قبایل زیادی به وجود آیند! | 3 |
I will pray that God Almighty will bless you, and enable you to [get married and] have many descendants, in order that they will become many people-groups.
| او برکتی را که به ابراهیم وعده داد، به تو و نسل تو دهد تا صاحب این سرزمینی که خدا آن را به ابراهیم بخشیده و اکنون در آن غریب هستیم بشوی.» | 4 |
I also will pray that he will bless you and your descendants by enabling you to possess/seize the land in which you are now living as a foreigner, the land that God promised to give to [my father] Abraham and his descendants.”
| پس اسحاق یعقوب را روانه نمود و او به فَدّان‌اَرام، نزد دایی خود لابان، پسر بتوئیل ارامی رفت. | 5 |
So Isaac sent Jacob to Paddan-Aram, to live with Rebekah’s brother Laban, the son of Bethuel, who belonged to the Aram people-group.
| عیسو فهمید که پدرش اسحاق از دختران کنعانی بیزار است، و یعقوب را از گرفتن زن کنعانی برحذر داشته و پس از برکت دادن او، وی را به فَدّان‌اَرام فرستاده است تا از آنجا زنی برای خود بگیرد و یعقوب هم از پدر و مادر خود اطاعت کرده به فَدّان‌اَرام رفته است. | 6 |
Esau found out that his father Isaac had blessed Jacob and then sent him to Paddan-Aram. He also found out that when he blessed Isaac, he told him, “Do not marry a woman of the Canaan people-group,”
| 7 |
and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother, and had gone to Paddan-Aram.
| 8 |
Esau also realized that his father Isaac did not approve of women from the Canaan people-group.
| پس عیسو هم نزد خاندان عمویش اسماعیل که پسر ابراهیم بود رفت و علاوه بر زنانی که داشت، محلت، دختر اسماعیل، خواهر نبایوت را نیز به زنی گرفت. | 9 |
Because of that, Esau went to see his uncle Ishmael, and married Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael. Mahalath was the sister of Nabaioth and the granddaughter of Abraham.
| پس یعقوب بئرشبع را به قصد حران ترک نمود. | 10 |
Meanwhile, Jacob left Beersheba and started walking along the road to Haran.
| همان روز پس از غروب آفتاب، به مکانی رسید و خواست شب را در آنجا به سر برد. پس سنگی برداشت و زیر سر خود نهاده، همان جا خوابید. | 11 |
When he arrived at a certain place, he stopped there, because the sun had gone down. He took one of the stones there and put it under his head to use as a pillow. Then he lay down and slept there.
| در خواب نردبانی را دید که پایهٔ آن بر زمین بود و سرش به آسمان می‌رسد و فرشتگان خدا از آن بالا و پایین می‌روند | 12 |
While he was sleeping, he had a dream, in which he [was surprised to] see a stairway. The bottom of the stairway was on the earth and the top was in the sky. Jacob also saw that God’s angels were going up and down the stairway.
| و خداوند بر بالای نردبان ایستاده است. سپس خداوند چنین فرمود: «من خداوند، خدای ابراهیم و خدای پدرت اسحاق هستم. زمینی که روی آن خوابیده‌ای از آن توست. من آن را به تو و نسل تو می‌بخشم. | 13 |
And he [was surprised to] see Yahweh standing at the top of the stairway, saying “I am Yahweh God, whom your grandfather Abraham worshiped, and whom Isaac worships. I will give to you and to your descendants the land on which you are lying.
| فرزندان تو چون غبار زمین، بی‌شمار خواهند شد! از مشرق تا مغرب، و از شمال تا جنوب را خواهند پوشانید. تمامی مردمِ زمین توسط تو و نسل تو برکت خواهند یافت. | 14 |
Your descendants will be as numerous as the particles of dirt that are on the earth, and their territory will be very large. It will extend in all directions, to the east and to the west, to the north and to the south. And people of all people-groups on earth will receive blessings because of [what happens to] you and to your descendants.
| هر جا که بروی من با تو خواهم بود و از تو حمایت نموده، دوباره تو را به سلامت به این سرزمین باز خواهم آورد. تا آنچه به تو وعده داده‌ام به جا نیاورم تو را رها نخواهم کرد.» | 15 |
I will help you and protect you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you; I will continue to do for you all that I have promised to do.”
| سپس یعقوب از خواب بیدار شد و گفت: «بدون شک خداوند در این مکان حضور دارد و من ندانستم!» | 16 |
[During the night], when Jacob woke up from sleeping, he thought, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and until now I was not aware of it!”
| پس ترسید و گفت: «این چه جای ترسناکی است! این است خانهٔ خدا و این است دروازهٔ آسمان!» | 17 |
He was afraid, and he said, “This place is very awesome! This is surely the place where God lives, and this is the entrance to heaven!”
| پس یعقوب صبح زود برخاست و سنگی را که زیر سر نهاده بود، چون ستونی بر پا داشت و بر آن روغن زیتون ریخت. | 18 |
In the morning Jacob got up and took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up on its end to show that the place was a holy place. He poured some olive oil on top of the stone [to dedicate it to God].
| او آن مکان را بیت‌ئیل (یعنی «خانهٔ خدا») نامید. (نام این شهر پیش از آن لوز بود.) | 19 |
He named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God’.] Previously its name was Luz.
| آنگاه یعقوب نذر کرده گفت: «اگر خدا در این سفر با من باشد و مرا محافظت نماید و خوراک و پوشاک به من بدهد، | 20 |
Jacob solemnly promised God, saying, “God, if you will help me and protect me while I am taking this journey, and if you give me enough food to eat and clothes to wear,
| و مرا به سلامت به خانهٔ پدرم بازگرداند، آنگاه یهوه خدای من خواهد بود؛ | 21 |
in order that I can later return safely to my father’s house, then you, Yahweh, will be the God that I will worship.
| و این ستونی که به عنوان یادبود بر پا کردم، مکانی خواهد بود برای عبادت خدا و ده‌یک هر چه را که او به من بدهد به وی باز خواهم داد.» | 22 |
This stone that I have set up will mark the place where people can worship you. And I will give back to you a tenth of everything that you give to me.”
