فَدَعَا إِسْحَاقُ يَعْقُوبَ وَبَارَكَهُ، وَأَوْصَاهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «لَا تَأْخُذْ زَوْجَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ. ١ 1
Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, "You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
قُمِ ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ، إِلَى بَيْتِ بَتُوئِيلَ أَبِي أُمِّكَ، وَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ زَوْجَةً مِنْ هُنَاكَ، مِنْ بَنَاتِ لَابَانَ أَخِي أُمِّكَ. ٢ 2
Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
وَٱللهُ ٱلْقَدِيرُ يُبَارِكُكَ، وَيَجْعَلُكَ مُثْمِرًا، وَيُكَثِّرُكَ فَتَكُونُ جُمْهُورًا مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. ٣ 3
May El Shaddai bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
وَيُعْطِيكَ بَرَكَةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَكَ وَلِنَسْلِكَ مَعَكَ، لِتَرِثَ أَرْضَ غُرْبَتِكَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهَا ٱللهُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ». ٤ 4
and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your descendants with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham."
فَصَرَفَ إِسْحَاقُ يَعْقُوبَ فَذَهَبَ إِلَى فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ، إِلَى لَابَانَ بْنِ بَتُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّ، أَخِي رِفْقَةَ أُمِّ يَعْقُوبَ وَعِيسُوَ. ٥ 5
Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, Rebekah's brother, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
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
Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, "You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,"
وَأَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ سَمِعَ لِأَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ،. ٧ 7
and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and left for Paddan Aram.
رَأَى عِيسُو أَنَّ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ شِرِّيرَاتٌ فِي عَيْنَيْ إِسْحَاقَ أَبِيهِ، ٨ 8
Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please Isaac, his father.
فَذَهَبَ عِيسُو إِلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَأَخَذَ مَحْلَةَ بِنْتَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أُخْتَ نَبَايُوتَ، زَوْجَةً لَهُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ. ٩ 9
Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
فَخَرَجَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ وَذَهَبَ نَحْوَ حَارَانَ. ١٠ 10
Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
وَصَادَفَ مَكَانًا وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّمْسَ كَانَتْ قَدْ غَابَتْ، وَأَخَذَ مِنْ حِجَارَةِ ٱلْمَكَانِ وَوَضَعَهُ تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ، فَٱضْطَجَعَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ. ١١ 11
He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
وَرَأَى حُلْمًا، وَإِذَا سُلَّمٌ مَنْصُوبَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَرَأْسُهَا يَمَسُّ ٱلسَّمَاءَ، وَهُوَذَا مَلَائِكَةُ ٱللهِ صَاعِدَةٌ وَنَازِلَةٌ عَلَيْهَا. ١٢ 12
And he dreamed. And look, a stairway was set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. And look, the angels of God were ascending and descending 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 God stood above it, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your grandfather, and the God of Isaac. The land on which you are lying I will give to you and to your descendants.
وَيَكُونُ نَسْلُكَ كَتُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَمْتَدُّ غَرْبًا وَشَرْقًا وَشَمَالًا وَجَنُوبًا، وَيَتَبَارَكُ فِيكَ وَفِي نَسْلِكَ جَمِيعُ قَبَائِلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١٤ 14
Your descendants will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And through you and through your descendants will all the families 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 look, I am with you, and will watch over you wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken of to you."
فَٱسْتَيْقَظَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَقَالَ: «حَقًّا إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ وَأَنَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ!». ١٦ 16
Then Jacob woke up from his sleep, and said, "Surely God is in this place, and I did not know it."
وَخَافَ وَقَالَ: «مَا أَرْهَبَ هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانَ! مَا هَذَا إِلَا بَيْتُ ٱللهِ، وَهَذَا بَابُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ». ١٧ 17
He was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place. This is none other than God's house, 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 early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up as a standing-stone, and poured oil on top of it.
وَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «بَيْتَ إِيلَ»، وَلَكِنِ ٱسْمُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ أَوَّلًا كَانَ لُوزَ. ١٩ 19
He called the name of that place Bethel, though previously the city was named Luz.
وَنَذَرَ يَعْقُوبُ نَذْرًا قَائِلًا: «إِنْ كَانَ ٱللهُ مَعِي، وَحَفِظَنِي فِي هَذَا ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا سَائِرٌ فِيهِ، وَأَعْطَانِي خُبْزًا لِآكُلَ وَثِيَابًا لِأَلْبَسَ، ٢٠ 20
Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will watch over me on this journey I am taking, and will give me food to eat, and clothing to put on,
وَرَجَعْتُ بِسَلَامٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي، يَكُونُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي إِلَهًا، ٢١ 21
so that I return to my father's house safely, then he will be my God,
وَهَذَا ٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلَّذِي أَقَمْتُهُ عَمُودًا يَكُونُ بَيْتَ ٱللهِ، وَكُلُّ مَا تُعْطِينِي فَإِنِّي أُعَشِّرُهُ لَكَ». ٢٢ 22
and this stone, which I have set up as a standing-stone, will be God's house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give the tenth to you."
