1 A nd Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.

وَشاخَ إبْراهِيمُ، وَتَقَدَّمَ بِهِ العُمرُ. وَبارَكَهُ اللهُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

2 A nd Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

وَقالَ إبْراهِيمُ لِكَبيرِ خَدَمِ بَيتِهِ، المُشرِفِ عَلَى كُلِّ أملاكِهِ: «ضَعْ يَدَكَ تَحْتَ فَخْذِي.

3 a nd I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

احلِفْ لِي بِإلَهِ السَّماءِ وَالأرْضِ، أنَّكَ لَنْ تَأْخُذَ لابْنِي زَوْجَةً مِنْ بَناتِ الكَنْعانِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أسْكُنُ بَينَهُمْ.

4 b ut thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

عِدْنِي بِأنَّكَ سَتَذْهَبُ إلَى أرْضِي وَأقرِبائِي، وَأنَّكَ سَتَأْخُذُ مِنْ هُناكَ زَوْجَةً لابْنِي إسْحاقَ.»

5 A nd the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?

فَقالَ لَهُ الخادِمُ: «فَماذا إذا لَمْ تَرْضَ المَرْأةُ بِأنْ تَأْتِيَ مَعِي إلَى هَذِهِ الأرْضِ؟ فَهَلْ آخُذُ ابْنَكَ إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي تَرَكْتَها؟»

6 A nd Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.

فَقالَ لَهُ إبْراهِيمُ: «إيّاكَ أنْ تُعِيدَ ابْنِي إلَى هُناكَ.

7 T he Lord God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.

فَإلَهُ السَّماءِ، أخرَجَنِي مِنْ بَيتِ أبِي وَأرْضِ أقْرِبائِي. وَقَدْ كَلَّمَنِي وَقَطَعَ لِي عَهْداً فَقالَ: ‹سَأُعطِي هَذِهِ الأرْضَ لِنَسلِكَ.› وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَيُرْسِلُ مَلاكَهُ أمامَكَ لِيُعِينَكَ عَلَى أنْ تَأْخُذَ زَوْجَةً لابْنِي مِنْ هُناكَ.

8 A nd if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.

أمّا إذا لَمْ تَرْضَ المَرأةُ بِأنْ تَأْتِيَ مَعَكَ، فَأنْتَ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ وَعْدِكَ هَذا لِي. لَكِنْ إيّاكَ أنْ تُعِيدَ ابْنِيَ إلَى هُناكَ.»

9 A nd the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.

فَوَضَعَ الخادِمُ يَدَهُ تَحْتَ فَخذِ إبْراهِيمَ وَحَلَفَ لَهُ فِي هَذا الأمْرِ.

10 A nd the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.

ثُمَّ أخَذَ الخادِمُ عَشْرَةً مِنْ جِمالِ سَيِّدِهِ، وَغادَرَ المَكانَ مُحَمَّلاً بِكُلِّ أنواعِ الهَدايا مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ. ثُمَّ سارَ إلَى أراضِي ما بَينَ النَّهْرَينِ، إلَى مَدِينَةِ ناحُورَ.

11 A nd he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.

وَأناخَ الجِمالَ خارِجَ المَدِينَةِ عِنْدَ النَّبْعِ. وَكانَ الوَقْتُ مَساءً عِنْدَما خَرَجَتِ النِّساءُ لِيَسْتَقِينَ ماءً.

12 A nd he said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.

فَقالَ الخادِمُ: «يا إلَهَ سَيِّدِي إبْراهِيمَ، وَفِّقْنِي اليَوْمَ فِي مَسْعايَ. وَأَظْهِرْ لُطْفَكَ لِسَيِّدِي إبْراهِيمَ.

13 B ehold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

ها أنا واقِفٌ عِنْدَ عَينِ الماءِ. وَها فَتَياتُ أهلِ البَلدَةِ خارِجاتٌ لِيَسْتَقِينَ ماءً.

14 a nd let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.

فَأعطِنِي هَذِهِ العَلامَةَ: إنْ قُلْتُ لِفَتاةٍ: ‹هاتِ جَرَّتَكِ لِأشْرَبَ،› فَأجابَتْ: ‹اشْرَبْ، وَسَأسْقِي جِمالَكَ أيضاً!› أعلَمُ أنَّها هِيَ الَّتِي اختَرْتَها أنتَ زَوْجَةً لِخادِمِكَ إسْحاقَ. وَبِهَذا أعرِفُ أنَّكَ أظهَرْتَ لُطفَكَ لِسَيِّدِي.» رِفْقَةُ ابْنةُ بَتُوئِيل

15 A nd it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

وَقَبلَ أنْ يُنهِيَ الخادِمُ صَلاتَهُ، إذا بِرِفْقَةَ تُقبِلُ وَجَرَّتُها عَلَى كَتِفِها. وَهِيَ ابْنَةُ بَتُوئِيلَ ابْنِ مِلْكَةَ، زَوْجَةِ ناحُورَ، أخِي إبْراهِيمَ.

16 A nd the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

كانَتْ رِفْقَةُ جَمِيلَةً جِدّاً، وَعَذْراءَ لَمْ يَمَسَّها رَجُلٌ. فَنَزَلَتْ إلَى النَّبْعِ وَمَلأتْ جَرَّتَها، ثُمَّ صَعِدَتْ ثانِيَةً.

17 A nd the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.

فَرَكَضَ الخادِمُ لِمُلاقاتِها وَقالَ لَها: «اسْقِينِي قَلِيلاً مِنَ الماءِ مِنْ جَرَّتِكِ.»

18 A nd she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.

فَقالَتْ رِفْقَةُ: «اشْرَبْ يا سَيِّدِي.» وَأسْرَعَتْ فَأنزَلَتِ الجَرَّةَ عَنْ يَدِها وَسَقَتْهُ.

19 A nd when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.

وَبَعدَ أنْ سَقَتْهُ قالَتْ: «سأسْتَقِي لِجِمالِكَ أيضاً حَتَّى تَرْتَوَيَ جَمِيعاً.»

20 A nd she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

وَأسْرَعَتْ رِفْقَةُ فَأفْرَغَتْ جَرَّتَها فِي الحَوْضِ. وَرَكَضَتْ ثانِيَةً إلَى النَّبْعِ وَاسْتَقَتِ المَزِيدَ مِنَ الماءِ. فَأحضَرَتْ ماءً لِكُلِّ جِمالِهِ.

21 A nd the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.

وَكانَ الرَّجُلُ يُراقِبُها بِصَمْتٍ لِيَعْرِفَ إنْ كانَ اللهُ قَدْ أنجَحَ مَسْعاهُ أمْ لا.

22 A nd it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;

فَبَعْدَ أنْ شَرِبَتِ الجِمالُ، أخرَجَ الرَّجُلُ حَلَقاً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ لِأنْفِها يَزِنُ نِصْفَ مِثْقالٍ، وَسِوارَينِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ لِيَدَيها يَزِنانِ عَشْرَةَ مَثاقِيلَ.

23 a nd said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in?

وَقالَ لَها: «أرجُو أنْ تُخبِرِينِي ابْنَةَ مَنْ تَكُونِينَ. وَهَلْ لَنا مُتَّسَعٌ فِي بَيتِ أبِيكِ لِلمَبِيتِ؟»

24 A nd she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.

فَقالَتْ لَهُ رِفْقَةُ: «أنا ابْنَةُ بَتُوئِيلَ بْنِ مِلْكَةَ وَناحُورَ.»

25 S he said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.

ثُمَّ قالَتْ: «لَدَينا تِبْنٌ وَعَلَفٌ كَثِيرٌ، وَيُوجَدُ لَكُمْ مُتَّسَعٌ لِلمَبِيتِ.»

26 A nd the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the Lord.

ثُمَّ حَنَى الرَّجُلُ رَأْسَهُ وَحَمَدَ اللهَ.

27 A nd he said, Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s brethren.

قالَ: «تَبارَكَ إلَهُ سَيِّدِي إبْراهِيمَ. إذْ أظهَرَ وَفاءَهُ وَإخلاصَهُ لِسَيِّدِي. فَقَدْ قادَنِي اللهُ فِي طَرِيقِي إلَى بَيتِ أقارِبِ سَيِّدِي.»

28 A nd the damsel ran, and told them of her mother’s house these things.

فَرَكَضَتِ الفَتاةُ وَأخبَرَتْ بَيتَ أُمِّها بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ.

29 A nd Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.

وَكانَ لِرِفْقَةَ أخٌ اسْمُهُ لابانُ. فَخَرَجَ لابانُ إلَى النَّبْعِ بِاتِّجاهِ الرَّجُلِ.

30 A nd it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.

فَرَأى الحَلَقَ، وَرَأى السِّوارَينِ حَولَ مِعصَمَيِّ أُختِهِ. فَلَّما رَوَتْ لَهُ أُختُهُ رِفْقَةُ ما قالَهُ لَها الرَّجُلُ، جَاءَ لابانُ إلَى الرَّجُلِ حَيثُ كانَ واقِفاً مَعَ الجِمالِ عِنْدَ النَّبْعِ.

31 A nd he said, Come in, thou blessed of the Lord; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.

فَقالَ لَهُ: «ادخُلْ إلَى بَيتِنا يا مَنْ بارَكَكَ اللهُ. لِماذا تَقِفُ خارِجاً؟ هَا البَيتُ مُعَدٌّ لاسْتِقبالِكَ، وَسَنُعِدُّ مَكاناً لِلجِمالِ.»

32 A nd the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men’s feet that were with him.

ثُمَّ أنزَلَ لابانُ حُمُولَةَ الجِمالِ وَقَدَّمَ لَها تِبْناً وَعَلَفاً. وَأعطَى ماءً لِلرَّجُلِ وَلِلرِّجالِ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ لِيَغسِلُوا أقْدامَهُمْ.

33 A nd there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.

ثُمَّ وُضِعَ الطَّعامُ أمامَ خادِمِ إبْراهِيمَ لِيَأْكُلَ. لَكِنَّهُ قالَ: «لَنْ آكُلَ قَبلَ أنْ أقُولَ ما لَدَيَّ.» فَقالَ لَهُ لابانُ: «فَقُلْ ما عِنْدَكَ.» الخادمُ يخطبُ رِفْقَةَ لإسْحاق

34 A nd he said, I am Abraham’s servant.

فَقالَ: «أنا خادِمُ إبْراهِيمَ.

35 A nd the Lord hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

وَقَدْ بارَكَ اللهُ سَيِّدِي كَثِيراً فَصارَ غَنِيّاً جِدّاً. إذْ أعطاهُ اللهُ غَنَماً وَبَقَراً وَفِضَّةً وَذَهَباً وَخَدَماً وَخادِماتٍ وَجِمالاً وَحَمِيراً.

36 A nd Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.

وَأنجَبَتْ سارَةُ، زَوْجَةُ سَيِّدِي، لَهُ ابْناً فِي شَيخُوخَتِهِ. وَأعطَى إبْراهِيمُ ابْنَهُ كُلَّ ما يَملِكُ.

37 A nd my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:

وَقَدِ اسْتَحلَفَنِي سَيِّدِي فَقالَ: ‹لا تَأْخُذْ لابْنِي زَوْجَةً مِنْ بَناتِ الكَنْعانِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أسْكُنُ بَينَهُمْ.

38 b ut thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.

بَلِ اذْهَبْ إلَى بَيتِ أبِي وَأقارِبِي، وَخُذْ مِنْ هُناكَ زَوْجَةً لابْنِي.›

39 A nd I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.

فَقُلْتُ لِسَيِّدِي: ‹رُبَّما تَرفُضُ الفَتاةُ أنْ تَأْتِيَ مَعِي.›

40 A nd he said unto me, The Lord, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:

فَقالَ لِي: ‹لَقَدْ عِشْتُ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ ، وَأنا أعرِفُ أنَّهُ سَيُرْسِلُ مَلاكَهُ مَعَكَ، وَسَيُوَفِّقُكَ فِي رِحلَتِكَ. وَسَتَأْخُذُ زَوْجَةً لابْنِي مِنْ بَناتِ أقارِبِي وَبَيتِ أبِي.

41 t hen shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.

وَعِنْدَما تَذْهَبُ إلَى أقارِبِي تَكُونُ حُرّاً مِنْ هَذا القَسَمِ. سَتَكُونُ حُرّاً مِنْهُ حَتَّى لَوْ لَمْ يُعْطُوكَ زَوْجَةً لابْنِي.›

42 A nd I came this day unto the well, and said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:

«وَعِنْدَما جِئْتُ إلَى النَّبْعِ اليَوْمَ قُلْتُ: ‹يا إلَهَ سَيِّدِي إبْراهِيمَ، أنجِحْ رِحلَتِي وَمَسْعايَ.

43 b ehold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;

ها أنا واقِفٌ عِنْدَ النَّبْعِ. فَأعطِنِي عَلامَةً. إنْ قُلْتُ لِفَتاةٍ تَأْتِي لِتَسْتَقِي: أعطِنِي قَلِيلاً مِنَ الماءِ مِنْ جَرَّتِكِ لِأشْرَبَ،

44 a nd she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the Lord hath appointed out for my master’s son.

فَأجابَتْ: اشْرَبْ، وَسَأسْتَقِي ماءً لِجِمالِكَ أيضاً. لِتَكُنْ هِيَ الفَتاةَ الَّتِي اختارَها اللهُ لابْنِ سَيِّدِي.›

45 A nd before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.

«وَقَبلَ أنْ أُنهِيَ صَلاتِيَ فِي قَلبِي، أتَتْ رِفْقَةُ وَجَرَّتُها عَلَى كَتِفِها. فَنَزَلَتْ إلَى النَّبْعِ وَاسْتَقَتْ ماءً. فَقُلْتُ لَها: ‹اسْقِينِي مِنْ فَضلِكِ.›

46 A nd she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.

فَأسْرَعَتْ وَأنزَلَتِ الجَرَّةَ عَنْ كَتِفِها وَقالَتْ: ‹اشْرَبْ، وَسَأسْتَقِي ماءً لِجِمالِكَ أيضاً.› فَشَرِبْتُ، وَسَقَتِ الجِمالَ أيضاً.

47 A nd I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.

ثُمَّ سَألْتُها: ‹ابْنَةُ مَنْ تَكُونِينَ؟› فَقالَتْ: ‹أنا ابْنَةُ بَتُوئِيلَ بْنِ ناحُورَ وَمِلْكَةَ.› فَوَضَعْتُ حَلَقاً فِي أنفِها، وَسِوارَينِ حَولَ مِعْصَمَيها.

48 A nd I bowed down my head, and worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter unto his son.

ثُمَّ حَنَيتُ رَأْسِي وَشَكَرْتُ اللهَ، وَبارَكْتُ إلَهَ سَيِّدِي إبْراهِيمَ. فَقَدْ هَدانِي فِي طَرِيقٍ صَحِيحٍ لِآخُذَ ابْنَةَ أخِي سَيِّدِي إبْراهِيمَ زَوْجَةً لابْنِهِ.

49 A nd now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.

وَالآنَ، إنْ كُنْتُمْ سَتَتَعامَلُونَ بِالإخلاصِ وَالوَفاءِ مَعَ سَيِّدِي، فَأخبِرُونِي. وَإلّا، فَأخبِرُونِي أيضاً، فَأعرِفَ ماذا أفْعَلُ.»

50 T hen Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the Lord: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

فَأجابَ لابانُ وَبَتُوئِيلُ: «هَذا الأمْرُ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ ، فَلَيْسَ لَنا أنْ نُغَيِّرَ ذَلِكَ.

51 B ehold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the Lord hath spoken.

ها هِيَ رِفْقَةُ، فَخُذْها زَوْجَةً لابْنِ سَيِّدِكَ كَما قَضَى اللهُ.»

52 A nd it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he worshipped the Lord, bowing himself to the earth.

فَلَمّا سَمِعَ خادِمُ إبْراهِيمَ كَلامَهُما، سَجَدَ للهِ عَلَى الأرْضِ.

53 A nd the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.

ثُمَّ أخرَجَ الخادِمُ كُلَّ الفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ وَالثِّيابِ، وَأعطاها لِرِفْقَةَ. كَما قَدَّمَ هَدايا ثَمِينَةً لِأخِيها وَأُمِّها.

54 A nd they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.

فَأكَلَ وَشَرِبَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ، وَباتُوا هُناكَ. وَلَمّا نَهَضُوا فِي الصَّباحِ قالَ الخادِمُ: «اسمَحُوا لِي بِالذَّهابِ إلَى سَيِّدِي.»

55 A nd her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.

لَكِنَّ أخا رِفْقَةَ وَأُمَّها قالا: «لِتَبْقَ الفَتاةُ مَعَنا عَشْرَةَ أيّامٍ عَلَى الأقَلِّ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَذْهَبُ.»

56 A nd he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the Lord hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.

لَكِنَّ الخادِمَ قالَ: «لا تُؤَخِّرانِي، فَقَدْ وَفَّقَ اللهُ رِحلَتِي وَمَسْعايَ. أطلِقُونِي فَأعُودَ إلَى سَيِّدِي.»

57 A nd they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.

فَقالوا: «نَدعُو الفَتاةَ وَنَسألُها أمامَكَ.»

58 A nd they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

فَدَعَوْا رِفْقَةَ وَسَألاها: «هَلْ تُرِيدِينَ الذَّهابَ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ الآنَ؟» فَقالَتْ رِفْقَةُ: «نَعَمْ.»

59 A nd they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.

فَصَرَفا رِفْقَةَ وَمُرَبِّيَتَها مَعَ خادِمِ إبْراهِيمَ وَرِجالِهِ.

60 A nd they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

وَبارَكُوا أُختَهُمْ رِفْقَةَ وَقالُوا: «لَيتَكِ تَصِيرِينَ، يا أُختَنا، أُمّاً لِمَلايِينَ مِنَ النّاسِ. وَلَيتَ أحفادَكِ يَسْتَولُونَ عَلَى مُدُنِ أعدائِهِمْ.»

61 A nd Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

فَقامَتْ رِفْقَةُ وَخادِمَتُها وَرَكِبْنَ عَلَى الجِمالِ، وَتَبِعْنَ الرَّجُلَ. وَهَكَذا أخَذَ الخادِمُ رِفْقَةَ وَمَضَى فِي طَرِيقِهِ.

62 A nd Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country.

وَكانَ إسْحاقُ قَدْ تَرَكَ مُخَيَّمَهُ قُرْبَ مَدْخَلِ بِئْرِ لَحْيَ رُئِي وَسَكَنَ فِي النَّقَبِ.

63 A nd Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.

فَخَرَجَ لِيَتَفَكَّرَ قَبلَ المَساءِ فِي الحَقلِ. وَرَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ، فَإذا بِهِ يَرَى جِمالاً قادِمَةً.

64 A nd Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.

وَرَفَعَتْ رِفقَةُ نَظَرَها فَرَأتْ إسْحاقَ. فَتَرَجَّلَتْ عَنِ الجَمَلِ.

65 F or she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.

ثُمَّ سَألَتِ الخادِمَ: «مَنْ هُوَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ الماشِي فِي الحَقلِ لِمُلاقاتِنا؟» فَقالَ الخادِمُ: «إنَّهُ سَيِّدِي!» فَأخَذَتْ رِفقَةُ الخِمارَ وَغَطَّتْ وَجهَها.

66 A nd the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.

ثُمَّ رَوَى الخادِمُ لإسْحاقَ كُلَّ ما فَعَلَهُ.

67 A nd Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أدخَلَ إسْحاقُ رِفْقَةَ إلَى خَيمَةِ أُمِّهِ سارَةَ لِيَتَزَوَّجَها. وَأحَبَّها كَثِيراً. فَتَعَزَّى إسْحاقُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أُمِّهِ.
