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 bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I will die.”
| فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ يَعْقُوبَ عَلَى رَاحِيلَ وَقَالَ: «أَلَعَلِّي مَكَانَ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي مَنَعَ عَنْكِ ثَمْرَةَ ٱلْبَطْنِ؟». | ٢ 2 |
Jacob's anger burned against Rachel. He said, “Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?”
| فَقَالَتْ: «هُوَذَا جَارِيَتِي بِلْهَةُ، ٱدْخُلْ عَلَيْهَا فَتَلِدَ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيَّ، وَأُرْزَقُ أَنَا أَيْضًا مِنْهَا بَنِينَ». | ٣ 3 |
She said, “See, there is my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her, so she might give birth to children on my knees, and I will have children by her.”
| فَأَعْطَتْهُ بِلْهَةَ جَارِيَتَهَا زَوْجَةً، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا يَعْقُوبُ، | ٤ 4 |
So she gave him her servant Bilhah 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 |
Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me, and he has heard my voice and given me a son.” For this reason she called his name Dan.
| وَحَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا بِلْهَةُ جَارِيَةُ رَاحِيلَ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا ثَانِيًا لِيَعْقُوبَ، | ٧ 7 |
Bilhah, Rachel's servant, conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
| فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ: «مُصَارَعَاتِ ٱللهِ قَدْ صَارَعْتُ أُخْتِي وَغَلَبْتُ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «نَفْتَالِي». | ٨ 8 |
Rachel said, “With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister and have prevailed.” She called his name Naphtali.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ لَيْئَةُ أَنَّهَا تَوَقَّفَتْ عَنِ ٱلْوِلَادَةِ، أَخَذَتْ زِلْفَةَ جَارِيَتَهَا وَأَعْطَتْهَا لِيَعْقُوبَ زَوْجَةً، | ٩ 9 |
When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
| فَوَلَدَتْ زِلْفَةُ جَارِيَةُ لَيْئَةَ لِيَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنًا. | ١٠ 10 |
Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore Jacob a son.
| فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «بِسَعْدٍ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «جَادًا». | ١١ 11 |
Leah said, “This is fortunate!” so she called his name Gad.
| وَوَلَدَتْ زِلْفَةُ جَارِيَةُ لَيْئَةَ ٱبْنًا ثَانِيًا لِيَعْقُوبَ، | ١٢ 12 |
Then Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore Jacob a second son.
| فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «بِغِبْطَتِي، لِأَنَّهُ تُغَبِّطُنِي بَنَاتٌ». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «أَشِيرَ». | ١٣ 13 |
Leah said, “I am happy! For the daughters will call me happy.” So she called his name 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 in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field. He brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “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 |
Leah said to her, “Is it a small matter to you, that you have taken away my husband? Do you now want to take away my son's mandrakes, too?” Rachel said, “Then he will sleep with you tonight, in exchange 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. Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must sleep with me tonight, for I have hired you with my son's mandrakes.” So Jacob slept with Leah 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 woman to my husband.” She called his name 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 a good gift. Now my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” She called his name Zebulun.
| ثُمَّ وَلَدَتِ ٱبْنَةً وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهَا «دِينَةَ». | ٢١ 21 |
Afterwards she bore a daughter and called her name Dinah.
| وَذَكَرَ ٱللهُ رَاحِيلَ، وَسَمِعَ لَهَا ٱللهُ وَفَتَحَ رَحِمَهَا، | ٢٢ 22 |
God called Rachel to mind and listened to her. He caused her to become pregnant.
| فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا فَقَالَتْ: «قَدْ نَزَعَ ٱللهُ عَارِي». | ٢٣ 23 |
She conceived and bore a son. She said, “God has taken away my shame.”
| وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «يُوسُفَ» قَائِلَةً: «يَزِيدُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ ٱبْنًا آخَرَ». | ٢٤ 24 |
She called his name Joseph, saying, “Yahweh has added to me another son.”
| وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا وَلَدَتْ رَاحِيلُ يُوسُفَ أَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ لِلَابَانَ: «ٱصْرِفْنِي لِأَذْهَبَ إِلَى مَكَانِي وَإِلَى أَرْضِي. | ٢٥ 25 |
After Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, so that I may go to my own home 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, wait, because I have learned by using divination that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake.”
| وَقَالَ: «عَيِّنْ لِي أُجْرَتَكَ فَأُعْطِيَكَ». | ٢٨ 28 |
Then he said, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ مَاذَا خَدَمْتُكَ، وَمَاذَا صَارَتْ مَوَاشِيكَ مَعِي، | ٢٩ 29 |
Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared 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. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I worked. Now when will I provide for my own household also?”
| فَقَالَ: «مَاذَا أُعْطِيكَ؟» فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «لَا تُعْطِينِي شَيْئًا. إِنْ صَنَعْتَ لِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ أَعُودُ أَرْعَى غَنَمَكَ وَأَحْفَظُهَا: | ٣١ 31 |
So Laban said, “What will I pay you?” Jacob said, “You will not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep 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 |
Let me walk through all your flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted sheep, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. These 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 |
My integrity will testify for me later on, when you come to check on my wages. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, if any are found with me, will be considered to be stolen.”
| فَقَالَ لَابَانُ: «هُوَذَا لِيَكُنْ بِحَسَبِ كَلَامِكَ». | ٣٤ 34 |
Laban said, “Agreed. Let it be according to your word.”
| 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 Laban removed the male goats that were striped 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 gave them into the hand of his sons.
| وَجَعَلَ مَسِيرَةَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَكَانَ يَعْقُوبُ يَرْعَى غَنَمَ لَابَانَ ٱلْبَاقِيَةَ. | ٣٦ 36 |
Laban also put three days' journey between himself and Jacob. So Jacob kept tending 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 cut branches of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane tree, and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white inner wood appear that was in the sticks.
| وَأَوْقَفَ ٱلْقُضْبَانَ ٱلَّتِي قَشَّرَهَا فِي ٱلْأَجْرَانِ فِي مَسَاقِي ٱلْمَاءِ حَيْثُ كَانَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ تَجِيءُ لِتَشْرَبَ، تُجَاهَ ٱلْغَنَمِ، لِتَتَوَحَّمَ عِنْدَ مَجِيئِهَا لِتَشْرَبَ. | ٣٨ 38 |
Then he set the sticks that he had peeled in front of the flocks, in front of the watering troughs where they came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
| فَتَوَحَّمَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ عِنْدَ ٱلْقُضْبَانِ، وَوَلَدَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ مُخَطَّطَاتٍ وَرُقْطًا وَبُلْقًا. | ٣٩ 39 |
The flocks bred in front of the sticks; and the flocks produced striped, speckled, and spotted young.
| 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 out these lambs, but made the rest of them face toward the striped animals and all the black sheep in the flock of Laban. Then he separated out his flocks for himself alone and did not put them together with Laban's flocks.
| وَحَدَثَ كُلَّمَا تَوَحَّمَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ ٱلْقَوِيَّةُ أَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ وَضَعَ ٱلْقُضْبَانَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْغَنَمِ فِي ٱلْأَجْرَانِ لِتَتَوَحَّمَ بَيْنَ ٱلْقُضْبَانِ. | ٤١ 41 |
Whenever the stronger sheep in the flock were breeding, then Jacob would lay the sticks in the watering troughs before the eyes of the flock, so that they might conceive among the sticks.
| وَحِينَ ٱسْتَضْعَفَتِ ٱلْغَنَمُ لَمْ يَضَعْهَا، فَصَارَتِ ٱلضَّعِيفَةُ لِلَابَانَ وَٱلْقَوِيَّةُ لِيَعْقُوبَ. | ٤٢ 42 |
But when the feebler animals in the flock came, he did not put the sticks in front of them. So the feebler animals were Laban's, and the stronger were Jacob's.
| فَٱتَّسَعَ ٱلرَّجُلُ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا، وَكَانَ لَهُ غَنَمٌ كَثِيرٌ وَجَوَارٍ وَعَبِيدٌ وَجِمَالٌ وَحَمِيرٌ. | ٤٣ 43 |
The man became very prosperous. He had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
