1 A nd Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.

ثُمَّ دَعا إسْحاقُ يَعقُوبَ وَبارَكَهُ، وَأوصاهُ: «لا تَتَزَوَّجْ مِنَ امْرأةٍ كَنْعانِيَّةٍ.

2 A rise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.

بَلِ اذْهَبْ فَوراً إلَى فَدَّانَ أرامَ. إلَى بَيتِ بَتُوئِيلَ، أبِي أُمِّكَ. وَتَزَوَّجِ امْرأةً مِنْ هُناكَ، مِنْ بَناتِ خالِكَ لابانَ.

3 A nd God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;

لْيُبارِكْكَ اللهُ الجَبّارُ. وَلْيُعطِكَ أبْناءً كَثِيرِينَ فَتُصْبِحَ أباً لِمَجمُوعَةٍ مِنَ الشُّعُوبِ.

4 a nd give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.

لِيُبارِكْكَ اللهُ كَما بارَكَ إبْراهِيمَ، أنتَ وَنَسلَكَ مَعاً. لِيُبارِكْكَ هَكَذا فَتَمْتَلِكَ الأرْضَ الَّتِي تَعِيشُ فِيها غَرِيباً، الأرْضَ الَّتِي أعطاها اللهُ لإبْراهِيمَ.»

5 A nd Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.

فَأرْسَلَ إسْحاقُ يَعقُوبَ. فَمَضَى يَعقُوبُ إلَى فَدَّانَ أرامَ، إلَى لابانَ بْنِ بَتُوئِيلَ الأرامِيِّ الَّذِي كانَ أخا رِفْقَةَ، أُمِّ يَعقُوبَ وَعِيسُو.

6 W hen Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;

عَلِمَ عِيسُو أنَّ إسْحاقَ بارَكَ يَعقُوبَ وَأرسَلَهُ إلَى فَدَّانَ أرامَ لِيَتَزَوَّجَ مِنِ امْرأةٍ مِنْ هُناكَ. وَعَلِمَ أيضاً أنَّ إسْحاقَ لَمّا بارَكَهُ أوصاهُ: «لا تَتَزَوَّجْ مِنَ امْرأةٍ كَنْعانِيَّةٍ.»

7 a nd that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram;

وَعَلِمَ أنَّ يَعقُوبَ أطاعَ أباهُ وَأُمَّهُ وَذَهَبَ إلَى فَدَّانَ أرامَ.

8 a nd Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;

فَفَهِمَ عِيسُو أنَّ أباهُ إسْحاقَ لَمْ يَكُنْ راضِياً عَنِ الكَنْعانِيّاتِ.

9 t hen went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.

فَذَهَبَ عِيسُو إلَى إسْماعِيلَ وَتَزَوَّجَ مِنْ مَحلَةَ بِنْتِ إسْماعِيلَ بْنِ إبْراهِيمَ، أُختِ نَبايُوتَ، عَلَى زَوجَتَيهِ. حُلْمُ يَعْقُوبَ فِي بَيتَ إيل

10 A nd Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.

وَغادَرَ يَعقُوبُ بِئْرَ السَّبْعِ مُتَّجِهاً إلَى حارانَ.

11 A nd he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.

وَوَصَلَ إلَى مَكانٍ حَيثُ باتَ لَيلَتَهُ هُناكَ، لِأنَّ الشَّمْسَ قَدْ غَرُبَتْ. فَأخَذَ أحَدَ الحِجارَةِ فِي ذَلِكَ المَكانِ وَوَضَعَهُ تَحتَ رَأْسِهِ، وَاسْتَلْقَى فِي ذَلِكَ المَكانِ لِيَنامَ.

12 A nd he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

وَرَأى فِي حُلْمٍ سُلَّماً قائِمَةً عَلَى الأرْضِ. وَقِمَّتُها تَصِلُ السَّماءَ. وَكانَتْ مَلائِكَةُ اللهِ تَصعَدُ وَتَنْزِلُ عَلَيها.

13 A nd, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

وَكانَ اللهُ واقِفاً فَوْقَها. فَقالَ اللهُ: «أنا إلَهُ أبِيكَ إبْراهِيمَ، وَإلَهُ إسْحاقَ. سَأُعطِيكَ وَنَسلَكَ الأرْضَ الَّتِي أنتَ مُضطَجِعٌ عَلَيها.

14 a nd thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

وَسَيَكُونُ نَسلُكَ بِعَدَدِ ذَرّاتِ تُرابِ الأرْضِ. وَسَيَنتَشِرُونَ غَرْباً وَشَرقاً وَشَمالاً وَجَنُوباً. وَسَتأْتِي عَلَى كُلِّ شُعُوبِ الأرْضِ بَرَكَةٌ مِنْ خِلالِكَ وَخِلالِ نَسلِكَ.

15 A nd, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

«وَها أنا مَعَكَ. سَأحمِيكَ حَيثُما تَذهَبُ. وَسَأُعِيدُكَ إلَى هَذِهِ الأرْضِ. وَسَتَعلَمُ أنِّي لَمْ أترُكْكَ حِينَ أفِي بِوَعدِيَ لَكَ.»

16 A nd Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.

فَأفاقَ يَعقُوبُ مِنْ نَومِهِ وَقالَ: «إنَّ اللهَ فِي هَذا المَكانِ حَقّاً وَأنا لا أعلمُ!»

17 A nd he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

فَخافَ وَقالَ: «ما أرْهَبَ هَذا المَكانَ! ما هَذا سِوَى بَيْتِ اللهِ! وَما هَذِهِ سِوَى بَوّابَةِ السَّماءِ!»

18 A nd Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.

فَبَكَّرَ يَعقُوبُ فِي الصَّباحِ، وَأخَذَ الحَجَرَ الَّذِي وَضَعَهُ تَحْتَ رَأِسِهِ، وَأقامَهُ نَصَباً تَذْكاريّاً، وَسَكَبَ فَوقَهُ زَيتاً.

19 A nd he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.

وَسَمَّى ذَلِكَ المَكانَ بَيتَ إيلَ. وَكانَ اسْمُ المَدِينَةِ لُوزَ قَبلَ ذَلِكَ.

20 A nd Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,

وَنَذَرَ يَعقُوبُ نَذْراً فَقالَ: «إنْ كانَ اللهُ مَعِي، وَإنْ حَمانِي فِي رِحلَتِي هَذِهِ، وَأعطانِي طَعاماً لِآكُلَ وَثِياباً لِألبَسَ.

21 s o that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God:

وَإنْ أرجَعَنِي بِأمانٍ إلَى أهلِي، فَإنَّ يهوه سَيَكُونُ هُوَ إلَهِي.

22 a nd this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

وَسَأجعَلُ هَذا الحَجَرَ الَّذِي أقَمْتُهُ نَصَباً تَذْكاريّاً يَكُونُ بَيتَ اللهِ. وَسَأُعطِي اللهَ عُشْرَ كُلِّ شَيءٍ يُعطِينِي.»
