پیدایش 30
| راحیل وقتی فهمید نازاست، به خواهر خود حسد برد. او به یعقوب گفت: «به من فرزندی بده، اگر نه خواهم مرد!» | 1 |
Rachel realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any children for Jacob. So she became jealous of her older sister, Leah, because Leah had given birth to four sons. She said to Jacob, “Enable me to become pregnant and give birth to children. If you do not do that, I [think I will]!”
| یعقوب خشمگین شد و گفت: «مگر من خدا هستم که به تو فرزند بدهم؟ اوست که تو را نازا گردانیده است.» | 2 |
Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “(I am not God!/Am I God?) [RHQ] He is the one who has prevented you from becoming pregnant!”
| راحیل به او گفت: «با کنیزم بلهه همبستر شو تا از طریق او صاحب فرزندان شوم.» | 3 |
Then she said, “Look, here is my female slave, Bilhah. (Sleep with/Have sex with) [EUP] her, so that she may become pregnant and give birth to children for me. In that way it will be as though (I have children/her children are mine).”
| پس کنیز خود بِلهه را به همسری به یعقوب داد و او با وی همبستر شد. | 4 |
So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
| بلهه حامله شد و پسری برای یعقوب زایید. | 5 |
She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
| راحیل گفت: «خدا دعایم را شنیده و به دادم رسیده و اینک پسری به من بخشیده است»، پس او را دان (یعنی «دادرسی») نامید. | 6 |
Rachel said, “God has (vindicated me/judged my case and has decided that what I have done is right). He has also heard my requests and has given me a son.” So she named him Dan, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘he judged’].
| بلهه باز آبستن شد و دومین پسر را برای یعقوب زایید. | 7 |
Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
| راحیل گفت: «من با خواهر خود سخت مبارزه کردم و بر او پیروز شدم»، پس او را نفتالی نامید. | 8 |
Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle to have children like my older sister, but truly I have a son.” So she named him Naphtali, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘struggle’].
| وقتی لیه دید که دیگر حامله نمی‌شود، کنیز خود زلفه را به یعقوب به زنی داد. | 9 |
When Leah realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any more children, she took her female slave, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob to be another wife for him.
| زلفه برای یعقوب پسری زایید. | 10 |
Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
| لیه گفت: «خوشبختی به من روی آورده است»، پس او را جاد نامید. | 11 |
Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
| سپس زلفه دومین پسر را برای یعقوب زایید. | 12 |
Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
| لیه گفت: «چقدر خوشحال هستم! اینک زنان مرا زنی خوشحال خواهند دانست.» پس او را اَشیر نامید. | 13 |
Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
| روزی هنگام درو گندم، رئوبین مقداری مِهرگیاه که در کشتزاری روییده بود، یافت و آن را برای مادرش لیه آورد. راحیل از لیه خواهش نمود که مقداری از آن را به وی بدهد. | 14 |
When it was time to harvest wheat, Reuben went out into the fields and saw some (mandrakes/plants that women eat to help them to become pregnant). He brought some of them to his mother Leah. But Rachel saw them and said to Leah, “Please give me some of those plants that your son brought to you!”
| اما لیه به او جواب داد: «کافی نیست که شوهرم را از دستم گرفتی، حالا می‌خواهی مِهرگیاه پسرم را هم از من بگیری؟» راحیل گفت: «اگر مِهرگیاه پسرت را به من بدهی، من هم اجازه می‌دهم امشب با یعقوب بخوابی.» | 15 |
But Leah said to her, “No! (It was bad that you stole my husband!/Is it not bad enough that you stole my husband?) [RHQ] Now (are you going to take my son’s mandrake plants?/You want to take my son’s mandrake plants also, [so that you can become pregnant]!)” [RHQ] So Rachel said, “All right, Jacob can sleep with you tonight, if you give me some of your son’s mandrake plants.” [So Leah (agreed/gave her some)].
| آن روز عصر که یعقوب از صحرا برمی‌گشت، لیه به استقبال وی شتافت و گفت: «امشب باید با من بخوابی، زیرا تو را در مقابل مِهر گیاهی که پسرم یافته است، اجیر کرده‌ام!» پس یعقوب آن شب با وی همبستر شد. | 16 |
When Jacob returned from the wheat fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. She said, “You must sleep with me tonight, because I gave Rachel some of my son’s mandrakes [that enable women to become pregnant], to pay her for allowing us to do that.” So Jacob slept with her that night.
| خدا دعاهای وی را اجابت فرمود و او حامله شده، پنجمین پسر خود را زایید. | 17 |
God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
| لیه گفت: «چون کنیز خود را به شوهرم دادم، خدا به من پاداش داده است.» پس او را یساکار نامید. | 18 |
Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my slave to my husband to be another wife for him.” So she named him Issachar, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘reward’].
| او بار دیگر حامله شده، ششمین پسر را برای یعقوب زایید، | 19 |
Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
| و گفت: «خدا به من هدیه‌ای نیکو داده است. از این پس شوهرم مرا احترام خواهد کرد، زیرا برایش شش پسر زاییده‌ام.» پس او را زبولون (یعنی «احترام») نامید. | 20 |
Leah said, “God has given me a precious gift. (This time/Now) my husband will honor/respect me, because I have given birth to six sons for him.” So she named him Zebulon, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘accepted gift’].
| مدتی پس از آن دختری زایید و او را دینه نامید. | 21 |
Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
| سپس خدا راحیل را به یاد آورد و دعای وی را اجابت نموده، فرزندی به او بخشید. | 22 |
Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
| او حامله شده، پسری زایید و گفت: «خدا این ننگ را از من برداشته است.» | 23 |
She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, “God has caused that no longer will I be ashamed [for not having children].”
| سپس افزود: «ای کاش خداوند پسر دیگری هم به من بدهد!» پس او را یوسف نامید. | 24 |
She named him Joseph, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘may he give another’] and she said, ‘want Yahweh to give me another son.’
| بعد از آنکه راحیل یوسف را زایید، یعقوب به لابان گفت: «قصد دارم به وطن خویش بازگردم. | 25 |
After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Now allow me to quit working for you and let me return to my own land.
| اجازه بده زنان و فرزندانم را برداشته با خود ببرم، چون می‌دانی با خدمتی که به تو کرده‌ام بهای آنها را تمام و کمال به تو پرداخته‌ام.» | 26 |
You know the work that I have done for you [for a long time to get my wives]. So let me take my wives and my children, and leave.”
| لابان به وی گفت: «خواهش می‌کنم مرا ترک نکن، زیرا از روی فال فهمیده‌ام که خداوند به خاطر تو مرا برکت داده است. | 27 |
But Laban said to him, “If you are pleased with me, stay here, because I have found out by performing a magic ritual that Yahweh has blessed me because of what you have done for me.
| هر چقدر مزد بخواهی به تو خواهم داد.» | 28 |
Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”
| یعقوب جواب داد: «خوب می‌دانی که طی سالیان گذشته با چه وفاداری به تو خدمت نموده‌ام و چگونه از گله‌هایت مواظبت کرده‌ام. | 29 |
Jacob replied, “You know how I have worked for you, and you know that your livestock have increased greatly as I have taken care of them.
| قبل از اینکه پیش تو بیایم، گله و رمهٔ چندانی نداشتی ولی اکنون اموالت بی‌نهایت زیاد شده است. خداوند به خاطر من از هر نظر به تو برکت داده است. اما من الان باید به فکر خانوادهٔ خود باشم و برای آنها تدارک ببینم.» | 30 |
You had only a few animals before I came here. But now you have very many, and Yahweh has caused them to increase greatly in number wherever I have taken them. But now I need to start taking care of the needs of my own family.”
| لابان بار دیگر پرسید: «چقدر مزد می‌خواهی؟» یعقوب پاسخ داد: «لازم نیست چیزی به من بدهی. فقط این یک کار را برای من بکن و من باز از گله‌هایت مراقبت خواهم کرد. | 31 |
Laban replied, “What do you want me to give you?” Jacob replied, “I do not want you to pay me anything. But if you will do this one thing for me, I will continue to take care of your flocks and protect them.
| اجازه بده امروز به میان گله‌های تو بروم و تمام گوسفندان ابلق و خالدار و تمام بره‌های سیاه رنگ و همهٔ بزهای ابلق و خالدار را به جای اجرت برای خود جدا کنم. اینها مزد من خواهد بود. | 32 |
Allow me to go and look at all of your flocks today and remove from them all the speckled sheep, all the spotted sheep, and every dark-colored lamb, all the goats that are speckled, and all the goats that are spotted, [and keep them for myself]. They will be my wages.
| از آن به بعد، اگر حتی یک بز یا گوسفند سفید در میان گلهٔ من یافتی، بدان که من آن را از تو دزدیده‌ام.» | 33 |
In that way, in the future, you will be able to know whether I have been honest regarding what you have paid me. If any of my goats are neither speckled or spotted, or if any of my lambs are not dark-colored, you will know that I have stolen them from you.”
| لابان گفت: «آنچه را که گفتی قبول می‌کنم.» | 34 |
Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
| پس همان روز لابان تمام بزهای نری که خطّدار و خالدار بودند و بزهای ماده‌ای که ابلق و خالدار بودند و تمامی بره‌های سیاه رنگ را جدا کرد و به پسرانش سپرد. | 35 |
But that same day Laban removed all the male goats that had black and white stripes on them or were spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled or spotted, all the goats that were partly white, and all the dark-colored lambs. He separated them and told his sons to take care of them.
| آنگاه آنها را به فاصلهٔ سه روز راه از یعقوب دور کرد. درضمن، خود یعقوب در آنجا ماند تا بقیهٔ گلهٔ لابان را بچراند. | 36 |
Then he took these flocks and walked a distance of three days, in order that he could be that far from Jacob. Jacob continued to take care of the rest of Laban’s flocks.
| آنگاه یعقوب شاخه‌های سبز و تازهٔ درختان بید و بادام و چنار را کَند و خطّهای سفیدی بر روی آنها تراشید. | 37 |
Then Jacob cut some branches of (poplar, almond, and plane trees/three kinds of trees that had white wood). He peeled strips of bark from the branches, so that where the bark had been peeled off, the branches were light in color.
| این چوبها را در کنار آبشخور قرار داد تا وقتی که گله‌ها برای خوردن آب می‌آیند، آنها را ببینند. وقتی گله‌ها برای خوردن آب می‌آمدند، و می‌خواستند جفتگیری کنند، | 38 |
Then he placed the peeled branches in the troughs where they put the water for the animals to drink, so that the branches would be in front of the flocks when they came to drink.
| جلوی چوبها با یکدیگر جفتگیری می‌کردند و بره‌هایی می‌زاییدند که خطّدار، خالدار و ابلق بودند. | 39 |
The animals also mated in front of the branches, and eventually they gave birth to animals that were speckled, or to animals that were spotted, or to animals that had black and white stripes on them.
| یعقوب، این برّه‌ها را از گلهٔ لابان جدا می‌کرد و به گلهٔ خود می‌افزود. به این ترتیب او با استفاده از گلهٔ لابان، گلهٔ خودش را بزرگ می‌کرد. | 40 |
Furthermore, Jacob separated the female sheep in his flock from the other sheep and goats in Laban’s flock. And when his female sheep mated, he made them look toward the animals that belonged to Laban that had black and white stripes on them, and the dark-colored animals. He did that so that the female sheep would give birth to animals that were striped or dark-colored. By doing that, he made bigger flocks for himself, and he kept them separate from Laban’s flocks.
| در ضمن هرگاه حیوانات مادهٔ قوی می‌خواستند جفتگیری کنند، یعقوب چوبها را در آبشخور جلوی آنها قرار می‌داد تا کنار آنها جفتگیری کنند. | 41 |
In addition, whenever the stronger female sheep were ready to mate, Jacob put some of those peeled branches in the troughs in front of them, so that they would mate in front of the branches.
| ولی اگر حیوانات ضعیف بودند، چوبها را در آنجا نمی‌گذاشت. بنابراین حیوانات ضعیف از آنِ لابان و حیوانات قوی از آن یعقوب می‌شدند. | 42 |
But when weak animals were ready to mate, he did not put the branches in their troughs. So the weak ones became part of Laban’s flock, and the strong ones became part of Jacob’s flock.
| بدین ترتیب یعقوب بسیار ثروتمند شد و صاحب کنیزان و غلامان، گله‌های بزرگ، شترها و الاغهای زیادی گردید. | 43 |
As a result, Jacob became very rich. He owned many large flocks of sheep and goats, and many male and female slaves, and many camels and donkeys.
