< اَلتَّكْوِينُ 31 >

فَسَمِعَ كَلَامَ بَنِي لَابَانَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَخَذَ يَعْقُوبُ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لِأَبِينَا، وَمِمَّا لِأَبِينَا صَنَعَ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْمَجْدِ». ١ 1
And Jacob heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, Jacob has taken all that was our father's, and of our father's property has he gotten all this glory.
وَنَظَرَ يَعْقُوبُ وَجْهَ لَابَانَ وَإِذَا هُوَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ كَأَمْسِ وَأَوَّلَ مِنْ أَمْسِ. ٢ 2
And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold it was not toward him as before.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «ٱرْجِعْ إِلَى أَرْضِ آبَائِكَ وَإِلَى عَشِيرَتِكَ، فَأَكُونَ مَعَكَ». ٣ 3
And the Lord said to Jacob, Return to the land of thy father, and to thy family, and I will be with thee.
فَأَرْسَلَ يَعْقُوبُ وَدَعَا رَاحِيلَ وَلَيْئَةَ إِلَى ٱلْحَقْلِ إِلَى غَنَمِهِ، ٤ 4
And Jacob sent and called Lea and Rachel to the plain where the flocks were.
وَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «أَنَا أَرَى وَجْهَ أَبِيكُمَا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ نَحْوِي كَأَمْسِ وَأَوَّلَ مِنْ أَمْسِ. وَلَكِنْ إِلَهُ أَبِي كَانَ مَعِي. ٥ 5
And he said to them, I see the face of your father, that it is not toward me as before, but the God of my father was with me.
وَأَنْتُمَا تَعْلَمَانِ أَنِّي بِكُلِّ قُوَّتِي خَدَمْتُ أَبَاكُمَا، ٦ 6
And ye too know that with all my might I have served your father.
وَأَمَّا أَبُوكُمَا فَغَدَرَ بِي وَغَيَّرَ أُجْرَتِي عَشَرَ مَرَّاتٍ. لَكِنَّ ٱللهَ لَمْ يَسْمَحْ لَهُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ بِي شَرًّا. ٧ 7
But your father deceived me, and changed my wages for the ten lambs, yet God gave him not [power] to hurt me.
إِنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا: ٱلرُّقْطُ تَكُونُ أُجْرَتَكَ، وَلَدَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْغَنَمِ رُقْطًا. وَإِنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا: ٱلْمُخَطَّطَةُ تَكُونُ أُجْرَتَكَ، وَلَدَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْغَنَمِ مُخَطَّطَةً. ٨ 8
If he should say thus, The speckled shall be thy reward, then all the cattle would bear speckled; and if he should say, The white shall be thy reward, then would all the cattle bear white.
فَقَدْ سَلَبَ ٱللهُ مَوَاشِيَ أَبِيكُمَا وَأَعْطَانِي. ٩ 9
So God has taken away all the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
وَحَدَثَ فِي وَقْتِ تَوَحُّمِ ٱلْغَنَمِ أَنِّي رَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ فِي حُلْمٍ، وَإِذَا ٱلْفُحُولُ ٱلصَّاعِدَةُ عَلَى ٱلْغَنَمِ مُخَطَّطَةٌ وَرَقْطَاءُ وَمُنَمَّرَةٌ. ١٠ 10
And it came to pass when the cattle conceived and were with young, that I beheld with mine eyes in sleep, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-coloured spots.
وَقَالَ لِي مَلَاكُ ٱللهِ فِي ٱلْحُلْمِ: يَا يَعْقُوبُ. فَقُلْتُ: هَأَنَذَا. ١١ 11
And the angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob; and I said, What is it?
فَقَالَ: ٱرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَٱنْظُرْ. جَمِيعُ ٱلْفُحُولِ ٱلصَّاعِدَةِ عَلَى ٱلْغَنَمِ مُخَطَّطَةٌ وَرَقْطَاءُ وَمُنَمَّرَةٌ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ كُلَّ مَا يَصْنَعُ بِكَ لَابَانُ. ١٢ 12
And he said, Look up with thine eyes, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-coloured spots; for I have seen all things that Laban does to thee.
أَنَا إِلَهُ بَيْتِ إِيلَ حَيْثُ مَسَحْتَ عَمُودًا، حَيْثُ نَذَرْتَ لِي نَذْرًا. ٱلْآنَ قُمِ ٱخْرُجْ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱرْجِعْ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِيلَادِكَ». ١٣ 13
I am God that appeared to thee in the place of God where thou anointedst a pillar to me, and vowedst to me there a vow; now then arise and depart out of this land, depart into the land of thy nativity, and I will be with thee.
فَأَجَابَتْ رَاحِيلُ وَلَيْئَةُ وَقَاَلتَا لَهُ: «أَلَنَا أَيْضًا نَصِيبٌ وَمِيرَاثٌ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِينَا؟ ١٤ 14
And Rachel and Lea answered and said to him, Have we yet a part or inheritance in the house of our father?
أَلَمْ نُحْسَبْ مِنْهُ أَجْنَبِيَّتَيْنِ، لِأَنَّهُ بَاعَنَا وَقَدْ أَكَلَ أَيْضًا ثَمَنَنَا؟ ١٥ 15
Are we not considered strangers by him? for he has sold us, and quite devoured our money.
إِنَّ كُلَّ ٱلْغِنَى ٱلَّذِي سَلَبَهُ ٱللهُ مِنْ أَبِينَا هُوَ لَنَا وَلِأَوْلَادِنَا، فَٱلْآنَ كُلَّ مَا قَالَ لَكَ ٱللهُ ٱفْعَلْ». ١٦ 16
All the wealth and the glory which God has taken from our father, it shall be our's and our children's; now then do whatsoever God has said to thee.
فَقَامَ يَعْقُوبُ وَحَمَلَ أَوْلَادَهُ وَنِسَاءَهُ عَلَى ٱلْجِمَالِ، ١٧ 17
And Jacob arose and took his wives and his children up on the camels;
وَسَاقَ كُلَّ مَوَاشِيهِ وَجَمِيعَ مُقْتَنَاهُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ قَدِ ٱقْتَنَى: مَوَاشِيَ ٱقْتِنَائِهِ ٱلَّتِي ٱقْتَنَى فِي فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ، لِيَجِيءَ إِلَى إِسْحَاقَ أَبِيهِ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. ١٨ 18
and he took away all his possessions and all his store, which he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and all that belonged to him, to depart to Isaac his father in the land of Chanaan.
وَأَمَّا لَابَانُ فَكَانَ قَدْ مَضَى لِيَجُزَّ غَنَمَهُ، فَسَرَقَتْ رَاحِيلُ أَصْنَامَ أَبِيهَا. ١٩ 19
And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole her father's images.
وَخَدَعَ يَعْقُوبُ قَلْبَ لَابَانَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّ إِذْ لَمْ يُخْبِرْهُ بِأَنَّهُ هَارِبٌ. ٢٠ 20
And Jacob hid [the matter from] Laban the Syrian, so as not to tell him that he ran away.
فَهَرَبَ هُوَ وَكُلُّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ، وَقَامَ وَعَبَرَ ٱلنَّهْرَ وَجَعَلَ وَجْهَهُ نَحْوَ جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ. ٢١ 21
And he departed himself and all that belonged to him, and passed over the river, and went into the mountain Galaad.
فَأُخْبِرَ لَابَانُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ بِأَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ قَدْ هَرَبَ. ٢٢ 22
But it was told Laban the Syrian on the third day, that Jacob was fled.
فَأَخَذَ إِخْوَتَهُ مَعَهُ وَسَعَى وَرَاءَهُ مَسِيرَةَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، فَأَدْرَكَهُ فِي جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ. ٢٣ 23
And having taken his brethren with him, he pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on Mount Galaad.
وَأَتَى ٱللهُ إِلَى لَابَانَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّ فِي حُلْمِ ٱللَّيْلِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱحْتَرِزْ مِنْ أَنْ تُكَلِّمَ يَعْقُوبَ بِخَيْرٍ أَوْ شَرٍّ». ٢٤ 24
And God came to Laban the Syrian in sleep by night, and said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not at any time to Jacob evil things.
فَلَحِقَ لَابَانُ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَعْقُوبُ قَدْ ضَرَبَ خَيْمَتَهُ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ. فَضَرَبَ لَابَانُ مَعَ إِخْوَتِهِ فِي جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ. ٢٥ 25
And Laban overtook Jacob; and Jacob pitched his tent in the mountain; and Laban stationed his brothers in the mount Galaad.
وَقَالَ لَابَانُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ، وَقَدْ خَدَعْتَ قَلْبِي، وَسُقْتَ بَنَاتِي كَسَبَايَا ٱلسَّيْفِ؟ ٢٦ 26
And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done? wherefore didst thou run away secretly, and pillage me, and lead away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?
لِمَاذَا هَرَبْتَ خُفْيَةً وَخَدَعْتَنِي وَلَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي حَتَّى أُشَيِّعَكَ بِٱلْفَرَحِ وَٱلْأَغَانِيِّ، بِٱلدُّفِّ وَٱلْعُودِ، ٢٧ 27
Whereas if thou hadst told me, I would have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, and timbrels, and harp.
وَلَمْ تَدَعْنِي أُقَبِّلُ بَنِيَّ وَبَنَاتِي؟ ٱلْآنَ بِغَبَاوَةٍ فَعَلْتَ! ٢٨ 28
And I was not counted worthy to embrace my children and my daughters; now then thou hast wrought foolishly.
فِي قُدْرَةِ يَدِي أَنْ أَصْنَعَ بِكُمْ شَرًّا، وَلَكِنْ إِلَهُ أَبِيكُمْ كَلَّمَنِيَ ٱلْبَارِحَةَ قَائِلًا: ٱحْتَرِزْ مِنْ أَنْ تُكَلِّمَ يَعْقُوبَ بِخَيْرٍ أَوْ شَرٍّ. ٢٩ 29
And now my hand has power to hurt thee; but the God of thy father spoke to me yesterday, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not evil words to Jacob.
وَٱلْآنَ أَنْتَ ذَهَبْتَ لِأَنَّكَ قَدِ ٱشْتَقْتَ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيكَ، وَلَكِنْ لِمَاذَا سَرَقْتَ آلِهَتِي؟». ٣٠ 30
Now then go on thy way, for thou hast earnestly desired to depart to the house of thy father; wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?
فَأَجَابَ يَعْقُوبُ وَقَالَ لِلَابَانَ: «إِنِّي خِفْتُ لِأَنِّي قُلْتُ لَعَلَّكَ تَغْتَصِبُ ٱبْنَتَيْكَ مِنِّي. ٣١ 31
And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid; for I said, Lest at any time thou shouldest take away thy daughters from me, and all my possessions.
اَلَّذِي تَجِدُ آلِهَتَكَ مَعَهُ لَا يَعِيشُ. قُدَّامَ إِخْوَتِنَا ٱنْظُرْ مَاذَا مَعِي وَخُذْهُ لِنَفْسِكَ». وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْقُوبُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ رَاحِيلَ سَرَقَتْهَا. ٣٢ 32
And Jacob said, With whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, he shall not live in the presence of our brethren; take notice of what I have of thy property, and take it; and he observed nothing with him, but Jacob knew not that his wife Rachel had stolen them.
فَدَخَلَ لَابَانُ خِبَاءَ يَعْقُوبَ وَخِبَاءَ لَيْئَةَ وَخِبَاءَ ٱلْجَارِيَتَيْنِ وَلَمْ يَجِدْ. وَخَرَجَ مِنْ خِبَاءِ لَيْئَةَ وَدَخَلَ خِبَاءَ رَاحِيلَ. ٣٣ 33
And Laban went in and searched in the house of Lea, and found [them] not; and he went out of the house of Lea, and searched in the house of Jacob, and in the house of the two maid-servants, and found them not; and he went also into the house of Rachel.
وَكَانَتْ رَاحِيلُ قَدْ أَخَذَتِ ٱلْأَصْنَامَ وَوَضَعَتْهَا فِي حِدَاجَةِ ٱلْجَمَلِ وَجَلَسَتْ عَلَيْهَا. فَجَسَّ لَابَانُ كُلَّ ٱلْخِبَاءِ وَلَمْ يَجِدْ. ٣٤ 34
And Rachel took the idols, and cast them among the camel's packs, and sat upon them.
وَقَالَتْ لِأَبِيهَا: «لَا يَغْتَظْ سَيِّدِي أَنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَقُومَ أَمَامَكَ لِأَنَّ عَلَيَّ عَادَةَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ». فَفَتَّشَ وَلَمْ يَجِدِ ٱلْأَصْنَامَ. ٣٥ 35
And she said to her father, Be not indignant, Sir; I cannot rise up before thee, for it is with me according to the manner of women. Laban searched in all the house, and found not the images.
فَٱغْتَاظَ يَعْقُوبُ وَخَاصَمَ لَابَانَ. وَأجَابَ يَعْقُوبُ وَقَالَ لِلَابَانَ: «مَا جُرْمِي؟ مَا خَطِيَّتِي حَتَّى حَمِيتَ وَرَائِي؟ ٣٦ 36
And Jacob was angry, and strove with Laban; and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my injustice, and what my sin, that thou hast pursued after me,
إِنَّكَ جَسَسْتَ جَمِيعَ أَثَاثِي. مَاذَا وَجَدْتَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَثَاثِ بَيْتِكَ؟ ضَعْهُ هَهُنَا قُدَّامَ إِخْوَتِي وَإِخْوَتِكَ، فَلْيُنْصِفُوا بَيْنَنَا ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ. ٣٧ 37
and that thou hast searched all the furniture of my house? what hast thou found of all the furniture of thine house? set it here between thy relations and my relations, and let them decide between us two.
اَلْآنَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً أَنَا مَعَكَ. نِعَاجُكَ وَعِنَازُكَ لَمْ تُسْقِطْ، وَكِبَاشَ غَنَمِكَ لَمْ آكُلْ. ٣٨ 38
These twenty years have I been with thee; thy sheep, and thy she-goats have not failed in bearing; I devoured not the rams of thy cattle.
فَرِيسَةً لَمْ أُحْضِرْ إِلَيْكَ. أَنَا كُنْتُ أَخْسَرُهَا. مِنْ يَدِي كُنْتَ تَطْلُبُهَا. مَسْرُوقَةَ ٱلنَّهَارِ أَوْ مَسْرُوقَةَ ٱللَّيْلِ. ٣٩ 39
That which was taken of beasts I brought not to thee; I made good of myself the thefts of the day, and the thefts of the night.
كُنْتُ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ يَأْكُلُنِي ٱلْحَرُّ وَفِي ٱللَّيْلِ ٱلْجَلِيدُ، وَطَارَ نَوْمِي مِنْ عَيْنَيَّ. ٤٠ 40
I was parched with heat by day, and [chilled] with frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.
اَلْآنَ لِي عِشْرُونَ سَنَةً فِي بَيْتِكَ. خَدَمْتُكَ أَرْبَعَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً بَٱبْنَتَيْكَ، وَسِتَّ سِنِينٍ بِغَنَمِكَ. وَقَدْ غَيَّرْتَ أُجْرَتِي عَشَرَ مَرَّاتٍ. ٤١ 41
These twenty years have I been in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years among thy sheep, and thou didst falsely rate my wages for ten lambs.
لَوْلَا أَنَّ إِلَهَ أَبِي إِلَهَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَهَيْبَةَ إِسْحَاقَ كَانَ مَعِي، لَكُنْتَ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ صَرَفْتَنِي فَارِغًا. مَشَقَّتِي وَتَعَبَ يَدَيَّ قَدْ نَظَرَ ٱللهُ، فَوَبَّخَكَ ٱلْبَارِحَةَ». ٤٢ 42
Unless I had the God of my father Abraam, and the fear of Isaac, now thou wouldest have sent me away empty; God saw my humiliation, and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday.
فَأَجَابَ لَابَانُ وَقَالَ لِيَعقُوبَ: «ٱلْبَنَاتُ بَنَاتِي، وَٱلْبَنُونَ بَنِيَّ، وَٱلْغَنَمُ غَنَمِي، وَكُلُّ مَا أَنْتَ تَرَى فَهُوَ لِي. فَبَنَاتِي مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ بِهِنَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَوْ بِأَوْلَادِهِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَدْنَ؟ ٤٣ 43
And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the cattle are my cattle, and all things which thou seest are mine, and [the property] of my daughters; what shall I do to them to-day, or their children which they bore?
فَٱلْآنَ هَلُمَّ نَقْطَعْ عَهْدًا أَنَا وَأَنْتَ، فَيَكُونُ شَاهِدًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ». ٤٤ 44
Now then come, let me make a covenant, both I and thou, and it shall be for a witness between me and thee; and he said to him, Behold, there is no one with us; behold, God is witness between me and thee.
فَأَخَذَ يَعْقُوبُ حَجَرًا وَأَوْقَفَهُ عَمُودًا، ٤٥ 45
And Jacob having taken a stone, set it up for a pillar.
وَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِإِخْوَتِهِ: «ٱلْتَقِطُوا حِجَارَةً». فَأَخَذُوا حِجَارَةً وَعَمِلُوا رُجْمَةً وَأَكَلُوا هُنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلرُّجْمَةِ. ٤٦ 46
And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones; and they gathered stones and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap; and Laban said to him, This heap witnesses between me and thee to-day.
وَدَعَاهَا لَابَانُ «يَجَرْ سَهْدُوثَا» وَأَمَّا يَعْقُوبُ فَدَعَاهَا «جَلْعِيدَ». ٤٧ 47
And Laban called it, the Heap of Testimony; and Jacob called it, the Witness Heap.
وَقَالَ لَابَانُ: «هَذِهِ ٱلرُّجْمَةُ هِيَ شَاهِدَةٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ». لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُهَا «جَلْعِيدَ». ٤٨ 48
And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and the pillar, which I have set between me and thee; this heap witnesses, and this pillar witnesses; therefore its name was called, the Heap witnesses.
وَ«ٱلْمِصْفَاةَ»، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لِيُرَاقِبِ ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ حِينَمَا نَتَوَارَى بَعْضُنَا عَنْ بَعْضٍ. ٤٩ 49
And the vision of which he said—Let God look to it between me and thee, because we are about to depart from each other, —
إِنَّكَ لَا تُذِلُّ بَنَاتِي، وَلَا تَأْخُذُ نِسَاءً عَلَى بَنَاتِي. لَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ مَعَنَا. اُنْظُرْ، ٱللهُ شَاهِدٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ». ٥٠ 50
If thou shalt humble my daughters, if thou shouldest take wives in addition to my daughters, see, there is no one with us looking on. God [is] witness between me and thee.
وَقَالَ لَابَانُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «هُوَذَا هَذِهِ ٱلرُّجْمَةُ، وَهُوَذَا ٱلْعَمُودُ ٱلَّذِي وَضَعْتُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ. ٥١ 51
And Laban said to Jacob, Behold, this heap, and this pillar are a witness.
شَاهِدَةٌ هَذِهِ ٱلرُّجْمَةُ وَشَاهِدٌ ٱلْعَمُودُ أَنِّي لَا أَتَجَاوَزُ هَذِهِ ٱلرُّجْمَةَ إِلَيْكَ، وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَتَجَاوَزُ هَذِهِ ٱلرُّجْمَةَ وَهَذَا ٱلْعَمُودَ إِلَيَّ لِلشَّرِّ. ٥٢ 52
For if I should not cross over unto thee, neither shouldest thou cross over to me, for mischief beyond this heap and this pillar.
إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَآلِهَةُ نَاحُورَ، آلِهَةُ أَبِيهِمَا، يَقْضُونَ بَيْنَنَا». وَحَلَفَ يَعْقُوبُ بِهَيْبَةِ أَبِيهِ إِسْحَاقَ. ٥٣ 53
The God of Abraam and the God of Nachor judge between us; and Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
وَذَبَحَ يَعْقُوبُ ذَبِيحَةً فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ وَدَعَا إِخْوَتَهُ لِيَأْكُلُوا طَعَامًا، فَأَكَلُوا طَعَامًا وَبَاتُوا فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ. ٥٤ 54
And he offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren, and they ate and drank, and slept in the mountain.
ثُمَّ بَكَّرَ لَابَانُ صَبَاحًا وَقَبَّلَ بَنِيهِ وَبَنَاتِهِ وَبَارَكَهُمْ وَمَضَى. وَرَجَعَ لَابَانُ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ. ٥٥ 55
And Laban rose up in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban having turned back, departed to his place.
