اَلتَّكْوِينُ 35

١ 1 ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱللهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «قُمِ ٱصْعَدْ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَأَقِمْ هُنَاكَ، وَٱصْنَعْ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلهِ ٱلَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَكَ حِينَ هَرَبْتَ مِنْ وَجْهِ عِيسُو أَخِيكَ».

And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make an altar there to God, who appeared to thee when thou fled from the face of Esau thy brother.

٢ 2 فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِبَيْتِهِ وَلِكُلِّ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ: «ٱعْزِلُوا ٱلْآلِهَةَ ٱلْغَرِيبَةَ ٱلَّتِي بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَطَهَّرُوا وَأَبْدِلُوا ثِيَابَكُمْ.

Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments.

٣ 3 وَلْنَقُمْ وَنَصْعَدْ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ، فَأَصْنَعَ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلهِ ٱلَّذِي ٱسْتَجَابَ لِي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقَتِي، وَكَانَ مَعِي فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي ذَهَبْتُ فِيهِ».

And let us arise, and go up to Bethel, and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me on the way which I went.

٤ 4 فَأَعْطَوْا يَعْقُوبَ كُلَّ ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلْغَرِيبَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ وَٱلْأَقْرَاطِ ٱلَّتِي فِي آذَانِهِمْ، فَطَمَرَهَا يَعْقُوبُ تَحْتَ ٱلْبُطْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدَ شَكِيمَ.

And they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears. And Jacob hid them under the oak that was by Shechem.

٥ 5 ثُمَّ رَحَلُوا، وَكَانَ خَوْفُ ٱللهِ عَلَى ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي حَوْلَهُمْ، فَلَمْ يَسْعَوْا وَرَاءَ بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ.

And they journeyed, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

٦ 6 فَأَتَى يَعْقُوبُ إِلَى لُوزَ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَهِيَ بَيْتُ إِيلَ. هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ.

So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan (the same is Bethel), he and all the people that were with him.

٧ 7 وَبَنَى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا، وَدَعَا ٱلْمَكَانَ «إِيلَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ» لِأَنَّهُ هُنَاكَ ظَهَرَ لَهُ ٱللهُ حِينَ هَرَبَ مِنْ وَجْهِ أَخِيهِ.

And he built there an altar, and called the place El-bethel, because God was revealed to him there, when he fled from the face of his brother.

٨ 8 وَمَاتَتْ دَبُورَةُ مُرْضِعَةُ رِفْقَةَ وَدُفِنَتْ تَحْتَ بَيْتَ إِيلَ تَحْتَ ٱلْبَلُّوطَةِ، فَدَعَا ٱسْمَهَا «أَلُّونَ بَاكُوتَ».

And Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak. And the name of it was called Allon-bacuth.

٩ 9 وَظَهَرَ ٱللهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ أَيْضًا حِينَ جَاءَ مِنْ فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ وَبَارَكَهُ.

And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.

١٠ 10 وَقَالَ لَهُ ٱللهُ: «ٱسْمُكَ يَعْقُوبُ. لَا يُدْعَى ٱسْمُكَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ يَعْقُوبَ، بَلْ يَكُونُ ٱسْمُكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». فَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «إِسْرَائِيلَ».

And God said to him, Thy name is Jacob. Thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called his name Israel.

١١ 11 وَقَالَ لَهُ ٱللهُ: «أَنَا ٱللهُ ٱلْقَدِيرُ. أَثْمِرْ وَٱكْثُرْ. أُمَّةٌ وَجَمَاعَةُ أُمَمٍ تَكُونُ مِنْكَ، وَمُلُوكٌ سَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ.

And God said to him, I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.

١٢ 12 وَٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ، لَكَ أُعْطِيهَا، وَلِنَسْلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ أُعْطِي ٱلْأَرْضَ».

And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to thee, and I will give the land to thy seed after thee.

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ صَعِدَ ٱللهُ عَنْهُ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ تَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ.

And God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.

١٤ 14 فَنَصَبَ يَعْقُوبُ عَمُودًا فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ تَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ، عَمُودًا مِنْ حَجَرٍ، وَسَكَبَ عَلَيْهِ سَكِيبًا، وَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِ زَيْتًا.

And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

١٥ 15 وَدَعَا يَعْقُوبُ ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ تَكَلَّمَ ٱللهُ مَعَهُ «بَيْتَ إِيلَ».

And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.

١٦ 16 ثُمَّ رَحَلُوا مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ. وَلَمَّا كَانَ مَسَافَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدُ حَتَّى يَأْتُوا إِلَى أَفْرَاتَةَ، وَلَدَتْ رَاحِيلُ وَتَعَسَّرَتْ وِلَادَتُهَا.

And they journeyed from Bethel. And there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.

١٧ 17 وَحَدَثَ حِينَ تَعسَّرَتْ وِلَادَتُهِا أَنَّ ٱلْقَابِلَةَ قَالَتِ لَهَا: «لَا تَخَافِي، لِأَنَّ هَذَا أَيْضًا ٱبْنٌ لَكِ».

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Fear not, for now thou shall have another son.

١٨ 18 وَكَانَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ نَفْسِهَا، لِأَنَّهَا مَاتَتْ، أَنَّهَا دَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «بَنْ أُونِي». وَأَمَّا أَبُوهُ فَدَعَاهُ «بَنْيَامِينَ».

And it came to pass, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-oni, but his father called him Benjamin.

١٩ 19 فَمَاتَتْ رَاحِيلُ وَدُفِنَتْ فِي طَرِيقِ أَفْرَاتَةَ، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ بَيْتُ لَحْمٍ.

And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem).

٢٠ 20 فَنَصَبَ يَعْقُوبُ عَمُودًا عَلَى قَبْرِهَا، وَهُوَ «عَمُودُ قَبْرِ رَاحِيلَ» إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ.

And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave, the same is the Pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.

٢١ 21 ثُمَّ رَحَلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ وَنَصَبَ خَيْمَتَهُ وَرَاءَ مَجْدَلَ عِدْرٍ.

And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

٢٢ 22 وَحَدَثَ إِذْ كَانَ إِسْرَائِيلُ سَاكِنًا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، أَنَّ رَأُوبَيْنَ ذَهَبَ وَٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَ بِلْهَةَ سُرِّيَّةِ أَبِيهِ، وَسَمِعَ إِسْرَائِيلُ. وَكَانَ بَنُو يَعْقُوبَ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ:

And it came to pass, while Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

٢٣ 23 بَنُو لَيْئَةَ: رَأُوبَيْنُ بِكْرُ يَعْقُوبَ، وَشِمْعُونُ وَلَاوِي وَيَهُوذَا وَيَسَّاكَرُ وَزَبُولُونُ.

The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

٢٤ 24 وَٱبْنَا رَاحِيلَ: يُوسُفُ وَبَنْيَامِينُ.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

٢٥ 25 وَٱبْنَا بِلْهَةَ جَارِيَةِ رَاحِيلَ: دَانُ وَنَفْتَالِي.

And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid: Dan and Naphtali.

٢٦ 26 وَٱبْنَا زِلْفَةَ جَارِيَةِ لَيْئَةَ: جَادُ وَأَشِيرُ. هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو يَعْقُوبَ ٱلَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لَهُ فِي فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ.

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.

٢٧ 27 وَجَاءَ يَعْقُوبُ إِلَى إِسْحَاقَ أَبِيهِ إِلَى مَمْرَا، قِرْيَةِ أَرْبَعَ، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ حَبْرُونُ، حَيْثُ تَغَرَّبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَإِسْحَاقُ.

And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre, to Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

٢٨ 28 وَكَانَتْ أَيَّامُ إِسْحَاقَ مِئَةً وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً.

And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.

٢٩ 29 فَأَسْلَمَ إِسْحَاقُ رُوحَهُ وَمَاتَ وَٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ، شَيْخًا وَشَبْعَانَ أَيَّامًا. وَدَفَنَهُ عِيسُو وَيَعْقُوبُ ٱبْنَاهُ.

And Isaac gave up the spirit, and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
