< اَلتَّكْوِينُ 42 >

فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَعْقُوبُ أَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ قَمْحٌ فِي مِصْرَ، قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِبَنِيهِ: «لِمَاذَا تَنْظُرُونَ بَعْضُكُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ؟» ١ 1
And Jacob having seen that there was a sale [of corn] in Egypt, said to his sons, Why are ye indolent?
وَقَالَ «إِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ أَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ قَمْحٌ فِي مِصْرَ. ٱنْزِلُوا إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَٱشْتَرُوا لَنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ لِنَحْيَا وَلَا نَمُوتَ». ٢ 2
Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt; go down thither, and buy for us a little food, that we may live, and not die.
فَنَزَلَ عَشْرَةٌ مِنْ إِخْوَةِ يُوسُفَ لِيَشْتَرُوا قَمْحًا مِنْ مِصْرَ. ٣ 3
And the ten brethren of Joseph went down to buy corn out of Egypt.
وَأَمَّا بَنْيَامِينُ أَخُو يُوسُفَ فَلَمْ يُرْسِلْهُ يَعْقُوبُ مَعَ إِخْوَتِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لَعَلَّهُ تُصِيبُهُ أَذِيَّةٌ». ٤ 4
But [Jacob] sent not Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, with his brethren; for he said, Lest, haply, disease befall him.
فَأَتَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَشْتَرُوا بَيْنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَتَوْا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجُوعَ كَانَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. ٥ 5
And the sons of Israel came to buy with those that came, for the famine was in the land of Chanaan.
وَكَانَ يُوسُفُ هُوَ ٱلْمُسَلَّطَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَهُوَ ٱلْبَائِعَ لِكُلِّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. فَأَتَى إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ وَسَجَدُوا لَهُ بِوُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٦ 6
And Joseph was ruler of the land; he sold to all the people of the land. And the brethren of Joseph, having come, did reverence to him, [bowing] with the face to the ground.
وَلَمَّا نَظَرَ يُوسُفُ إِخْوَتَهُ عَرَفَهُمْ، فَتَنَكَّرَ لَهُمْ وَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُمْ بِجَفَاءٍ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتُمْ؟» فَقَالُوا: «مِنْ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ لِنَشْتَرِيَ طَعَامًا». ٧ 7
And when Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them, and estranged himself from them, and spoke hard words to them; and said to them, Whence are ye come? And they said, Out of the land of Chanaan, to buy food.
وَعَرَفَ يُوسُفُ إِخْوَتَهُ، وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ. ٨ 8
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
فَتَذَكَّرَ يُوسُفُ ٱلْأَحْلَامَ ٱلَّتِي حَلُمَ عَنْهُمْ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «جَوَاسِيسُ أَنْتُمْ! لِتَرَوْا عَوْرَةَ ٱلْأَرْضِ جِئْتُمْ» ٩ 9
And Joseph remembered his dream, which he saw; and he said to them, Ye are spies; to observe the marks of the land are ye come.
فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لَا يَا سَيِّدِي، بَلْ عَبِيدُكَ جَاءُوا لِيَشْتَرُوا طَعَامًا. ١٠ 10
But they said, Nay, Sir, we thy servants are come to buy food;
نَحْنُ جَمِيعُنَا بَنُو رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ. نَحْنُ أُمَنَاءُ، لَيْسَ عَبِيدُكَ جَوَاسِيسَ». ١١ 11
we are all sons of one man; we are peaceable, thy servants are not spies.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «كَلَّا! بَلْ لِتَرَوْا عَوْرَةَ ٱلْأَرْضِ جِئْتُمْ». ١٢ 12
And he said to them, Nay, but ye are come to observe the marks of the land.
فَقَالُوا: «عَبِيدُكَ ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَخًا. نَحْنُ بَنُو رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. وَهُوَذَا ٱلصَّغِيرُ عِنْدَ أَبِينَا ٱلْيَوْمَ، وَٱلْوَاحِدُ مَفْقُودٌ». ١٣ 13
And they said, We thy servants are twelve brethren, in the land of Chanaan; and, behold, the youngest is with our father to-day, but the other one is not.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يُوسُفُ: «ذَلِكَ مَا كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهِ قَائِلًا: جَوَاسِيسُ أَنْتُمْ! ١٤ 14
And Joseph said to them, This is it that I spoke to you, saying, ye are spies;
بِهَذَا تُمْتَحَنُونَ. وَحَيَاةِ فِرْعَوْنَ لَا تَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ هُنَا إِلَا بِمَجِيءِ أَخِيكُمُ ٱلصَّغِيرِ إِلَى هُنَا. ١٥ 15
herein shall ye be manifested; by the health of Pharao, ye shall not depart hence, unless your younger brother come hither.
أَرْسِلُوا مِنْكُمْ وَاحِدًا لِيَجِيءَ بِأَخِيكُمْ، وَأَنْتُمْ تُحْبَسُونَ، فَيُمْتَحَنَ كَلَامُكُمْ هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ صِدْقٌ. وَإِلَا فَوَحَيَاةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّكُمْ لَجَوَاسِيسُ!». ١٦ 16
Send one of you, and take your brother; and go ye to prison, till your words be clear, whether ye speak the truth or not; but, if not, by the health of Pharao, verily ye are spies.
فَجَمَعَهُمْ إِلَى حَبْسٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ. ١٧ 17
And he put them in prison three days.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ يُوسُفُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ: «ٱفْعَلُوا هَذَا وَٱحْيَوْا. أَنَا خَائِفُ ٱللهِ. ١٨ 18
And he said to them on the third day, This do, and ye shall live, for I fear God.
إِنْ كُنْتُمْ أُمَنَاءَ فَلْيُحْبَسْ أَخٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنْكُمْ فِي بَيْتِ حَبْسِكُمْ، وَٱنْطَلِقُوا أَنْتُمْ وَخُذُوا قَمْحًا لِمَجَاعَةِ بُيُوتِكُمْ. ١٩ 19
If ye be peaceable, let one of your brethren be detained in prison; but go ye, and carry back the corn ye have purchased.
وَأَحْضِرُوا أَخَاكُمُ ٱلصَّغِيرَ إِلَيَّ، فَيَتَحَقَّقَ كَلَامُكُمْ وَلَا تَمُوتُوا». فَفَعَلُوا هَكَذَا. ٢٠ 20
And bring your younger brother to me, and your words shall be believed; but, if not, ye shall die. And they did so.
وَقَالُوا بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «حَقًّا إِنَّنَا مُذْنِبُونَ إِلَى أَخِينَا ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْنَا ضِيقَةَ نَفْسِهِ لَمَّا ٱسْتَرْحَمَنَا وَلَمْ نَسْمَعْ. لِذَلِكَ جَاءَتْ عَلَيْنَا هَذِهِ ٱلضِّيقَةُ». ٢١ 21
And each said to his brother, Yes, indeed, for we are in fault concerning our brother, when we disregarded the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we hearkened not to him; and therefore has this affliction come upon us.
فَأَجَابَهُمْ رَأُوبَيْنُ قَائِلًا: «أَلَمْ أُكَلِّمْكُمْ قَائِلًا: لَا تَأْثَمُوا بِٱلْوَلَدِ، وَأَنْتُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا؟ فَهُوَذَا دَمُهُ يُطْلَبُ». ٢٢ 22
And Ruben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Hurt not the boy, and ye heard me not? and, behold, his blood is required.
وَهُمْ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ يُوسُفَ فَاهِمٌ، لِأَنَّ ٱلتُّرْجُمَانَ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ. ٢٣ 23
But they knew not that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.
فَتَحَوَّلَ عَنْهُمْ وَبَكَى، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَكَلَّمَهُمْ، وَأَخَذَ مِنْهُمْ شِمْعُونَ وَقَيَّدَهُ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ. ٢٤ 24
And Joseph turned away from them, and wept; and again he came to them, and spoke to them; and he took Symeon from them, and bound him before their eyes.
ثُمَّ أَمَرَ يُوسُفُ أَنْ تُمْلَأَ أَوْعِيَتُهُمْ قَمْحًا، وَتُرَدَّ فِضَّةُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى عِدْلِهِ، وَأَنْ يُعْطَوْا زَادًا لِلطَّرِيقِ. فَفُعِلَ لَهُمْ هَكَذَا. ٢٥ 25
And Joseph gave orders to fill their vessels with corn, and to return their money to each into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and it was so done to them.
فَحَمَلُوا قَمْحَهُمْ عَلَى حَمِيرِهِمْ وَمَضَوْا مِنْ هُنَاكَ. ٢٦ 26
And having put the corn on the asses, they departed thence.
فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ أَحَدُهُمْ عِدْلَهُ لِيُعْطِيَ عَلِيقًا لِحِمَارِهِ فِي ٱلْمَنْزِلِ، رَأَى فِضَّتَهُ وَإِذَا هِيَ فِي فَمِ عِدْلِهِ. ٢٧ 27
And one having opened his sack to give his asses fodder, at the place where they rested, saw also his bundle of money, for it was on the mouth of his sack.
فَقَالَ لِإِخْوَتِهِ: «رُدَّتْ فِضَّتِي وَهَا هِيَ فِي عِدْلِي». فَطَارَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَٱرْتَعَدُوا بَعْضُهُمْ فِي بَعْضٍ قَائِلِينَ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَهُ ٱللهُ بِنَا؟». ٢٨ 28
And he said to his brethren, My money has been restored to me, and behold this is in my sack. And their heart was wonder-struck, and they were troubled, saying one to another, What is this that God has done to us?
فَجَاءُوا إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ أَبِيهِمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِكُلِّ مَا أَصَابَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: ٢٩ 29
And they came to their father, Jacob, into the land of Chanaan, and reported to him all that had happened to them, saying,
«تَكَلَّمَ مَعَنَا ٱلرَّجُلُ سَيِّدُ ٱلْأَرْضِ بِجَفَاءٍ، وَحَسِبَنَا جَوَاسِيسَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٣٠ 30
The man, the lord of the land, spoke harsh words to us, and put us in prison as spies of the land.
فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: نَحْنُ أُمَنَاءُ، لَسْنَا جَوَاسِيسَ. ٣١ 31
And we said to him, We are men of peace, we are not spies.
نَحْنُ ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَخًا بَنُو أَبِينَا. ٱلْوَاحِدُ مَفْقُودٌ وَٱلصَّغِيرُ ٱلْيَوْمَ عِنْدَ أَبِينَا فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. ٣٢ 32
We are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is with his father to-day in the land of Chanaan.
فَقَالَ لَنَا ٱلرَّجُلُ سَيِّدُ ٱلْأَرْضِ: بِهَذَا أَعْرِفُ أَنَّكُمْ أُمَنَاءُ. دَعُوا أَخًا وَاحِدًا مِنْكُمْ عِنْدِي، وَخُذُوا لِمَجَاعَةِ بُيُوتِكُمْ وَٱنْطَلِقُوا. ٣٣ 33
And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Herein shall I know that ye are peaceable; leave one brother here with me, and having taken the corn ye have purchased for your family, depart.
وَأَحْضِرُوا أَخَاكُمُ ٱلصَّغِيرَ إِلَيَّ فَأَعْرِفَ أَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ جَوَاسِيسَ، بَلْ أَنَّكُمْ أُمَنَاءُ، فَأُعْطِيَكُمْ أَخَاكُمْ وَتَتَّجِرُونَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ». ٣٤ 34
And bring to me your younger brother; then I shall know that ye are not spies, but that ye are men of peace: and I will restore you your brother, and ye shall trade in the land.
وَإِذْ كَانُوا يُفَرِّغُونَ عِدَالَهُمْ إِذَا صُرَّةُ فِضَّةِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ فِي عِدْلِهِ. فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا صُرَرَ فِضَّتِهِمْ هُمْ وَأَبُوهُمْ خَافُوا. ٣٥ 35
And it came to pass as they were emptying their sacks, there was each man's bundle of money in his sack; and they and their father saw their bundles of money, and they were afraid.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَعْقُوبُ: «أَعْدَمْتُمُونِي ٱلْأَوْلَادَ. يُوسُفُ مَفْقُودٌ، وَشِمْعُونُ مَفْقُودٌ، وَبَنْيَامِينُ تَأْخُذُونَهُ. صَارَ كُلُّ هَذَا عَلَيَّ». ٣٦ 36
And their father Jacob said to them, Ye have bereaved me. Joseph is not, Symeon is not, and will ye take Benjamin? all these things have come upon me.
وَكَلَّمَ رَأُوبَيْنُ أَبَاهُ قَائِلًا: «ٱقْتُلِ ٱبْنَيَّ إِنْ لَمْ أَجِئْ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ. سَلِّمْهُ بِيَدِي وَأَنَا أَرُدُّهُ إِلَيْكَ». ٣٧ 37
And Ruben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee; give him into my hand, and I will bring him back to thee.
فَقَالَ: «لَا يَنْزِلُ ٱبْنِي مَعَكُمْ، لِأَنَّ أَخَاهُ قَدْ مَاتَ، وَهُوَ وَحْدَهُ بَاقٍ. فَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ أَذِيَّةٌ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي تَذْهَبُونَ فِيهَا تُنْزِلُونَ شَيْبَتِي بِحُزْنٍ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ». (Sheol h7585) ٣٨ 38
But he said, My son shall not go down with you, because his brother is dead, and he only has been left; and [suppose] it shall come to pass that he is afflicted by the way by which ye go, then ye shall bring down my old age with sorrow to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
