< اَلتَّكْوِينُ 30 >

فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ رَاحِيلُ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَلِدْ لِيَعْقُوبَ، غَارَتْ رَاحِيلُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا، وَقَالَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «هَبْ لِي بَنِينَ، وَإِلَا فَأَنَا أَمُوتُ!». ١ 1
When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I will die."
فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ يَعْقُوبَ عَلَى رَاحِيلَ وَقَالَ: «أَلَعَلِّي مَكَانَ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي مَنَعَ عَنْكِ ثَمْرَةَ ٱلْبَطْنِ؟». ٢ 2
Then Jacob became very angry with Rachel, and he said, "Am I in God's place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"
فَقَالَتْ: «هُوَذَا جَارِيَتِي بِلْهَةُ، ٱدْخُلْ عَلَيْهَا فَتَلِدَ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيَّ، وَأُرْزَقُ أَنَا أَيْضًا مِنْهَا بَنِينَ». ٣ 3
She said, "Look, my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her, so that she will bear children for me, that I too may have children through her."
فَأَعْطَتْهُ بِلْهَةَ جَارِيَتَهَا زَوْجَةً، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا يَعْقُوبُ، ٤ 4
So she gave him Bilhah her servant as a wife, and Jacob slept with her.
فَحَبِلَتْ بِلْهَةُ وَوَلَدَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنًا، ٥ 5
Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ: «قَدْ قَضَى لِيَ ٱللهُ وَسَمِعَ أَيْضًا لِصَوْتِي وَأَعْطَانِيَ ٱبْنًا». لِذَلِكَ دَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «دَانًا». ٦ 6
Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son." Therefore she called his name Dan.
وَحَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا بِلْهَةُ جَارِيَةُ رَاحِيلَ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا ثَانِيًا لِيَعْقُوبَ، ٧ 7
Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ: «مُصَارَعَاتِ ٱللهِ قَدْ صَارَعْتُ أُخْتِي وَغَلَبْتُ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «نَفْتَالِي». ٨ 8
Rachel said, "I have wrestled mightily with my sister, and have prevailed." So she named him Naphtali.
وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ لَيْئَةُ أَنَّهَا تَوَقَّفَتْ عَنِ ٱلْوِلَادَةِ، أَخَذَتْ زِلْفَةَ جَارِيَتَهَا وَأَعْطَتْهَا لِيَعْقُوبَ زَوْجَةً، ٩ 9
When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
فَوَلَدَتْ زِلْفَةُ جَارِيَةُ لَيْئَةَ لِيَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنًا. ١٠ 10
Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bore Jacob a son.
فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «بِسَعْدٍ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «جَادًا». ١١ 11
Leah said, "How fortunate." So she named him Gad.
وَوَلَدَتْ زِلْفَةُ جَارِيَةُ لَيْئَةَ ٱبْنًا ثَانِيًا لِيَعْقُوبَ، ١٢ 12
Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore Jacob a second son.
فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «بِغِبْطَتِي، لِأَنَّهُ تُغَبِّطُنِي بَنَاتٌ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «أَشِيرَ». ١٣ 13
Leah said, "Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy." So she named him Asher.
وَمَضَى رَأُوبَيْنُ فِي أَيَّامِ حَصَادِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ فَوَجَدَ لُفَّاحًا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ وَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى لَيْئَةَ أُمِّهِ. فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ لِلَيْئَةَ: «أَعْطِينِي مِنْ لُفَّاحِ ٱبْنِكِ». ١٤ 14
Reuben went out during the wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes."
فَقَالَتْ لَهَا: «أَقَلِيلٌ أَنَّكِ أَخَذْتِ رَجُلِي فَتَأْخُذِينَ لُفَّاحَ ٱبْنِي أَيْضًا؟» فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ: «إِذًا يَضْطَجِعُ مَعَكِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ عِوَضًا عَنْ لُفَّاحِ ٱبْنِكِ». ١٥ 15
She said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes, also?" Rachel said, "Therefore he may sleep with you tonight for your son's mandrakes."
فَلَمَّا أَتَى يَعْقُوبُ مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ فِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ، خَرَجَتْ لَيْئَةُ لِمُلَاقَاتِهِ وَقَالَتْ: «إِلَيَّ تَجِيءُ لِأَنِّي قَدِ ٱسْتَأْجَرْتُكَ بِلُفَّاحِ ٱبْنِي». فَٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ. ١٦ 16
Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must sleep with me; for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes." So he slept with her that night.
وَسَمِعَ ٱللهُ لِلَيْئَةَ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنًا خَامِسًا. ١٧ 17
God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «قَدْ أَعْطَانِي ٱللهُ أُجْرَتِي، لِأَنِّي أَعْطَيْتُ جَارِيَتِي لِرَجُلِي». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «يَسَّاكَرَ». ١٨ 18
Leah said, "God has given me my wages, because I gave my servant to my husband." So she named him Issachar.
وَحَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا لَيْئَةُ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا سَادِسًا لِيَعْقُوبَ، ١٩ 19
Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «قَدْ وَهَبَنِي ٱللهُ هِبَةً حَسَنَةً. ٱلْآنَ يُسَاكِنُنِي رَجُلِي، لِأَنِّي وَلَدْتُ لَهُ سِتَّةَ بَنِينَ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «زَبُولُونَ». ٢٠ 20
Leah said, "God has given me with a good gift. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons." So she named him Zebulun.
ثُمَّ وَلَدَتِ ٱبْنَةً وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهَا «دِينَةَ». ٢١ 21
Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.
وَذَكَرَ ٱللهُ رَاحِيلَ، وَسَمِعَ لَهَا ٱللهُ وَفَتَحَ رَحِمَهَا، ٢٢ 22
God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and made her fertile.
فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا فَقَالَتْ: «قَدْ نَزَعَ ٱللهُ عَارِي». ٢٣ 23
She conceived, bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my shame."
وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «يُوسُفَ» قَائِلَةً: «يَزِيدُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ ٱبْنًا آخَرَ». ٢٤ 24
So she named him Joseph, saying, "May God add another son to me."
وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا وَلَدَتْ رَاحِيلُ يُوسُفَ أَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ لِلَابَانَ: «ٱصْرِفْنِي لِأَذْهَبَ إِلَى مَكَانِي وَإِلَى أَرْضِي. ٢٥ 25
It happened, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
أَعْطِنِي نِسَائِي وَأَوْلَادِي ٱلَّذِينَ خَدَمْتُكَ بِهِمْ فَأَذْهَبَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ خِدْمَتِي ٱلَّتِي خَدَمْتُكَ». ٢٦ 26
Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know the service I have given you."
فَقَالَ لَهُ لَابَانُ: «لَيْتَنِي أَجِدُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ. قَدْ تَفَاءَلْتُ فَبَارَكَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ بِسَبَبِكَ». ٢٧ 27
Laban said to him, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have learned by divination that God has blessed me for your sake."
وَقَالَ: «عَيِّنْ لِي أُجْرَتَكَ فَأُعْطِيَكَ». ٢٨ 28
He said, "Name your wages, and I will pay it."
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ مَاذَا خَدَمْتُكَ، وَمَاذَا صَارَتْ مَوَاشِيكَ مَعِي، ٢٩ 29
He said to him, "You know how I have served you, and how well your livestock have done with me.
لِأَنَّ مَا كَانَ لَكَ قَبْلِي قَلِيلٌ فَقَدِ ٱتَّسَعَ إِلَى كَثِيرٍ، وَبَارَكَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي أَثَرِي. وَٱلْآنَ مَتَى أَعْمَلُ أَنَا أَيْضًا لِبَيْتِي؟». ٣٠ 30
For you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly. And God has blessed you wherever I worked. Now when will I also provide for my own household?"
فَقَالَ: «مَاذَا أُعْطِيكَ؟» فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «لَا تُعْطِينِي شَيْئًا. إِنْ صَنَعْتَ لِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ أَعُودُ أَرْعَى غَنَمَكَ وَأَحْفَظُهَا: ٣١ 31
He said, "What should I give you?" Jacob said, "You do not need to give me anything. If you will do this one thing for me, I will again pasture your flock and take care of it.
أَجْتَازُ بَيْنَ غَنَمِكَ كُلِّهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ، وَٱعْزِلْ أَنْتَ مِنْهَا كُلَّ شَاةٍ رَقْطَاءَ وَبَلْقَاءَ، وَكُلَّ شَاةٍ سَوْدَاءَ بَيْنَ ٱلْخِرْفَانِ، وَبَلْقَاءَ وَرَقْطَاءَ بَيْنَ ٱلْمِعْزَى. فَيَكُونَ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ أُجْرَتِي. ٣٢ 32
I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my wages.
وَيَشْهَدُ فِيَّ بِرِّي يَوْمَ غَدٍ إِذَا جِئْتَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أُجْرَتِي قُدَّامَكَ. كُلُّ مَا لَيْسَ أَرْقَطَ أَوْ أَبْلَقَ بَيْنَ ٱلْمِعْزَى وَأَسْوَدَ بَيْنَ ٱلْخِرْفَانِ فَهُوَ مَسْرُوقٌ عِنْدِي». ٣٣ 33
So my honesty will testify for me later on, when the subject of my wages comes before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep that I have in my possession, will be counted as stolen."
فَقَالَ لَابَانُ: «هُوَذَا لِيَكُنْ بِحَسَبِ كَلَامِكَ». ٣٤ 34
Laban said, "Look, let it be as you have said."
فَعَزَلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلتُّيُوسَ ٱلْمُخَطَّطَةَ وَٱلْبَلْقَاءَ، وَكُلَّ ٱلْعِنَازِ ٱلرَّقْطَاءِ وَٱلْبَلْقَاءِ، كُلَّ مَا فِيهِ بَيَاضٌ وَكُلَّ أَسْوَدَ بَيْنَ ٱلْخِرْفَانِ، وَدَفَعَهَا إِلَى أَيْدِي بَنِيهِ. ٣٥ 35
That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and put them in the care of his sons.
وَجَعَلَ مَسِيرَةَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَكَانَ يَعْقُوبُ يَرْعَى غَنَمَ لَابَانَ ٱلْبَاقِيَةَ. ٣٦ 36
He set three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob pastured the rest of Laban's flocks.
فَأَخَذَ يَعْقُوبُ لِنَفْسِهِ قُضْبَانًا خُضْرًا مِنْ لُبْنَى وَلَوْزٍ وَدُلْبٍ، وَقَشَّرَ فِيهَا خُطُوطًا بِيضًا، كَاشِطًا عَنِ ٱلْبَيَاضِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْقُضْبَانِ. ٣٧ 37
Jacob took fresh branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white streaks by peeling them, exposing white stripes on the branches.
وَأَوْقَفَ ٱلْقُضْبَانَ ٱلَّتِي قَشَّرَهَا فِي ٱلْأَجْرَانِ فِي مَسَاقِي ٱلْمَاءِ حَيْثُ كَانَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ تَجِيءُ لِتَشْرَبَ، تُجَاهَ ٱلْغَنَمِ، لِتَتَوَحَّمَ عِنْدَ مَجِيئِهَا لِتَشْرَبَ. ٣٨ 38
He set up the peeled branches which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the troughs, that is, the watering places where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink,
فَتَوَحَّمَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ عِنْدَ ٱلْقُضْبَانِ، وَوَلَدَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ مُخَطَّطَاتٍ وَرُقْطًا وَبُلْقًا. ٣٩ 39
the flocks bred in front of the branches, and the flocks brought bore streaked, speckled, and spotted.
وَأَفْرَزَ يَعْقُوبُ ٱلْخِرْفَانَ وَجَعَلَ وُجُوهَ ٱلْغَنَمِ إِلَى ٱلْمُخَطَّطِ وَكُلِّ أَسْوَدَ بَيْنَ غَنَمِ لَابَانَ. وَجَعَلَ لَهُ قُطْعَانًا وَحْدَهُ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْهَا مَعَ غَنَمِ لَابَانَ. ٤٠ 40
Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laban. So he kept his own flocks separate, and did not put them into Laban's flock.
وَحَدَثَ كُلَّمَا تَوَحَّمَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ ٱلْقَوِيَّةُ أَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ وَضَعَ ٱلْقُضْبَانَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْغَنَمِ فِي ٱلْأَجْرَانِ لِتَتَوَحَّمَ بَيْنَ ٱلْقُضْبَانِ. ٤١ 41
It happened, whenever the stronger of the flock were breeding, that Jacob would set up the branches in front of the flock in the troughs, so that they would breed near the branches;
وَحِينَ ٱسْتَضْعَفَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ لَمْ يَضَعْهَا، فَصَارَتِ ٱلضَّعِيفَةُ لِلَابَانَ وَٱلْقَوِيَّةُ لِيَعْقُوبَ. ٤٢ 42
but for the weaker of the flock, he did not put them there. So the weaker would be Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
فَٱتَّسَعَ ٱلرَّجُلُ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا، وَكَانَ لَهُ غَنَمٌ كَثِيرٌ وَجَوَارٍ وَعَبِيدٌ وَجِمَالٌ وَحَمِيرٌ. ٤٣ 43
Thus the man became very rich, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
