فَدَعَا إِسْحَاقُ يَعْقُوبَ وَبَارَكَهُ، وَأَوْصَاهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «لَا تَأْخُذْ زَوْجَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ. ١ 1
And Isaac having called for Jacob, blessed him, and charged him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites.
قُمِ ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ، إِلَى بَيْتِ بَتُوئِيلَ أَبِي أُمِّكَ، وَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ زَوْجَةً مِنْ هُنَاكَ، مِنْ بَنَاتِ لَابَانَ أَخِي أُمِّكَ. ٢ 2
Rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia, to the house of Bathuel the father of thy mother, and take to thyself thence a wife of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
وَٱللهُ ٱلْقَدِيرُ يُبَارِكُكَ، وَيَجْعَلُكَ مُثْمِرًا، وَيُكَثِّرُكَ فَتَكُونُ جُمْهُورًا مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. ٣ 3
And may my God bless thee, and increase thee, and multiply thee, and thou shalt become gatherings of nations.
وَيُعْطِيكَ بَرَكَةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَكَ وَلِنَسْلِكَ مَعَكَ، لِتَرِثَ أَرْضَ غُرْبَتِكَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهَا ٱللهُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ». ٤ 4
And may he give thee the blessing of my father Abraam, even to thee and to thy seed after thee, to inherit the land of thy sojourning, which God gave to Abraam.
فَصَرَفَ إِسْحَاقُ يَعْقُوبَ فَذَهَبَ إِلَى فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ، إِلَى لَابَانَ بْنِ بَتُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّ، أَخِي رِفْقَةَ أُمِّ يَعْقُوبَ وَعِيسُوَ. ٥ 5
So Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went into Mesopotamia to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca the mother of Jacob and Esau.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى عِيسُو أَنَّ إِسْحَاقَ بَارَكَ يَعْقُوبَ وَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ لِيَأْخُذَ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ هُنَاكَ زَوْجَةً، إِذْ بَارَكَهُ وَأَوْصَاهُ قَائِلًا: «لَا تَأْخُذْ زَوْجَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ». ٦ 6
And Esau saw that Isaac blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Mesopotamia of Syria as he blessed him, to take to himself a wife thence, and [that] he charged him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites;
وَأَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ سَمِعَ لِأَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ،. ٧ 7
and [that] Jacob hearkened to his father and his mother, and went to Mesopotamia of Syria.
رَأَى عِيسُو أَنَّ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ شِرِّيرَاتٌ فِي عَيْنَيْ إِسْحَاقَ أَبِيهِ، ٨ 8
And Esau also having seen that the daughters of Chanaan were evil before his father Isaac,
فَذَهَبَ عِيسُو إِلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَأَخَذَ مَحْلَةَ بِنْتَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أُخْتَ نَبَايُوتَ، زَوْجَةً لَهُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ. ٩ 9
Esau went to Ismael, and took Maeleth the daughter of Ismael, the son of Abraam, the sister of Nabeoth, a wife in addition to his [other] wives.
فَخَرَجَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ وَذَهَبَ نَحْوَ حَارَانَ. ١٠ 10
And Jacob went forth from the well of the oath, and departed into Charrhan.
وَصَادَفَ مَكَانًا وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّمْسَ كَانَتْ قَدْ غَابَتْ، وَأَخَذَ مِنْ حِجَارَةِ ٱلْمَكَانِ وَوَضَعَهُ تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ، فَٱضْطَجَعَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ. ١١ 11
And came to a certain place and slept there, for the sun had gone down; and he took [one] of the stones of the place, and put it at his head, and lay down to sleep in that place,
وَرَأَى حُلْمًا، وَإِذَا سُلَّمٌ مَنْصُوبَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَرَأْسُهَا يَمَسُّ ٱلسَّمَاءَ، وَهُوَذَا مَلَائِكَةُ ٱللهِ صَاعِدَةٌ وَنَازِلَةٌ عَلَيْهَا. ١٢ 12
and dreamed, and behold a ladder fixed on the earth, whose top reached to heaven, and the angels of God ascended and descended on it.
وَهُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ وَاقِفٌ عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ: «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكَ وَإِلَهُ إِسْحَاقَ. ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ مُضْطَجِعٌ عَلَيْهَا أُعْطِيهَا لَكَ وَلِنَسْلِكَ. ١٣ 13
And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of thy father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.
وَيَكُونُ نَسْلُكَ كَتُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَمْتَدُّ غَرْبًا وَشَرْقًا وَشَمَالًا وَجَنُوبًا، وَيَتَبَارَكُ فِيكَ وَفِي نَسْلِكَ جَمِيعُ قَبَائِلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١٤ 14
And thy seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.
وَهَا أَنَا مَعَكَ، وَأَحْفَظُكَ حَيْثُمَا تَذْهَبُ، وَأَرُدُّكَ إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ حَتَّى أَفْعَلَ مَا كَلَّمْتُكَ بِهِ». ١٥ 15
And behold I am with thee to preserve thee continually in all the way wherein thou shalt go; and I will bring thee back to this land; for I will not desert thee, until I have done all that I have said to thee.
فَٱسْتَيْقَظَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَقَالَ: «حَقًّا إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ وَأَنَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ!». ١٦ 16
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.
وَخَافَ وَقَالَ: «مَا أَرْهَبَ هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانَ! مَا هَذَا إِلَا بَيْتُ ٱللهِ، وَهَذَا بَابُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ». ١٧ 17
And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
وَبَكَّرَ يَعْقُوبُ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَأَخَذَ ٱلْحَجَرَ ٱلَّذِي وَضَعَهُ تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ وَأَقَامَهُ عَمُودًا، وَصَبَّ زَيْتًا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ. ١٨ 18
And Jacob rose up in the morning, and took the stone he [had] laid there by his head, and he set it up [as] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
وَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «بَيْتَ إِيلَ»، وَلَكِنِ ٱسْمُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ أَوَّلًا كَانَ لُوزَ. ١٩ 19
And he called the name of that place, the House of God; and the name of the city before was Ulam-luz.
وَنَذَرَ يَعْقُوبُ نَذْرًا قَائِلًا: «إِنْ كَانَ ٱللهُ مَعِي، وَحَفِظَنِي فِي هَذَا ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا سَائِرٌ فِيهِ، وَأَعْطَانِي خُبْزًا لِآكُلَ وَثِيَابًا لِأَلْبَسَ، ٢٠ 20
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If the Lord God will be with me, and guard me throughout on this journey, on which I am going, and give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
وَرَجَعْتُ بِسَلَامٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي، يَكُونُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي إِلَهًا، ٢١ 21
and bring me back in safety to the house of my father, then shall the Lord be for a God to me.
وَهَذَا ٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلَّذِي أَقَمْتُهُ عَمُودًا يَكُونُ بَيْتَ ٱللهِ، وَكُلُّ مَا تُعْطِينِي فَإِنِّي أُعَشِّرُهُ لَكَ». ٢٢ 22
And this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be to me a house of God; and of all whatsoever thou shalt give me, I will tithe a tenth for thee.
