1 و َشاخَ إبْراهِيمُ، وَتَقَدَّمَ بِهِ العُمرُ. وَبارَكَهُ اللهُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

Abraham was old, and well stricken in age. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.

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

Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please put your hand under my thigh.

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

I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.

4 ع ِدْنِي بِأنَّكَ سَتَذْهَبُ إلَى أرْضِي وَأقرِبائِي، وَأنَّكَ سَتَأْخُذُ مِنْ هُناكَ زَوْجَةً لابْنِي إسْحاقَ.»

But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”

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

The servant said to him, “What if the woman isn’t willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?”

6 ف َقالَ لَهُ إبْراهِيمُ: «إيّاكَ أنْ تُعِيدَ ابْنِي إلَى هُناكَ.

Abraham said to him, “Beware that you don’t bring my son there again.

7 ف َإلَهُ 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.

Yahweh, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, ‘I will give this land to your offspring. He will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

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

If the woman isn’t willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath to me. Only you shall not bring my son there again.”

9 ف َوَضَعَ الخادِمُ يَدَهُ تَحْتَ فَخذِ إبْراهِيمَ وَحَلَفَ لَهُ فِي هَذا الأمْرِ.

The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

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

The servant took ten camels, of his master’s camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master’s with him. He arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.

11 و َأناخَ الجِمالَ خارِجَ المَدِينَةِ عِنْدَ النَّبْعِ. وَكانَ الوَقْتُ مَساءً عِنْدَما خَرَجَتِ النِّساءُ لِيَسْتَقِينَ ماءً.

He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.

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

He said, “Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

13 ه ا أنا واقِفٌ عِنْدَ عَينِ الماءِ. وَها فَتَياتُ أهلِ البَلدَةِ خارِجاتٌ لِيَسْتَقِينَ ماءً.

Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.

14 ف َأعطِنِي 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

Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, ‘Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,’ and she will say, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,’—let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”

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

Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.

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

The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin. No man had known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.

17 ف َرَكَضَ الخادِمُ لِمُلاقاتِها وَقالَ لَها: «اسْقِينِي قَلِيلاً مِنَ الماءِ مِنْ جَرَّتِكِ.»

The servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher.”

18 ف َقالَتْ رِفْقَةُ: «اشْرَبْ يا سَيِّدِي.» وَأسْرَعَتْ فَأنزَلَتِ الجَرَّةَ عَنْ يَدِها وَسَقَتْهُ.

She said, “Drink, my lord.” She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him drink.

19 و َبَعدَ أنْ سَقَتْهُ قالَتْ: «سأسْتَقِي لِجِمالِكَ أيضاً حَتَّى تَرْتَوَيَ جَمِيعاً.»

When she had done giving him drink, she said, “I will also draw for your camels, until they have done drinking.”

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

She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.

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

The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether Yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not.

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

As the camels had done drinking, the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,

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

and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge in?”

24 ف َقالَتْ لَهُ رِفْقَةُ: «أنا ابْنَةُ بَتُوئِيلَ بْنِ مِلْكَةَ وَناحُورَ.»

She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”

25 ث ُمَّ قالَتْ: «لَدَينا تِبْنٌ وَعَلَفٌ كَثِيرٌ، وَيُوجَدُ لَكُمْ مُتَّسَعٌ لِلمَبِيتِ.»

She said moreover to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.”

26 ث ُمَّ حَنَى الرَّجُلُ رَأْسَهُ وَحَمَدَ اللهَ.

The man bowed his head, and worshiped Yahweh.

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

He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me on the way to the house of my master’s relatives.”

28 ف َرَكَضَتِ الفَتاةُ وَأخبَرَتْ بَيتَ أُمِّها بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ.

The young lady ran, and told her mother’s house about these words.

29 و َكانَ لِرِفْقَةَ أخٌ اسْمُهُ لابانُ. فَخَرَجَ لابانُ إلَى النَّبْعِ بِاتِّجاهِ الرَّجُلِ.

Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.

30 ف َرَأى 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.

When he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, “This is what the man said to me,” he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.

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

He said, “Come in, you blessed of Yahweh. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.”

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

The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

33 ث ُمَّ 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

Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my message.” He said, “Speak on.”

34 ف َقالَ: «أنا خادِمُ إبْراهِيمَ.

He said, “I am Abraham’s servant.

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

Yahweh has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.

36 و َأنجَبَتْ سارَةُ، زَوْجَةُ سَيِّدِي، لَهُ ابْناً فِي شَيخُوخَتِهِ. وَأعطَى إبْراهِيمُ ابْنَهُ كُلَّ ما يَملِكُ.

Sarah, my master’s wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.

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

My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,

38 ب َلِ اذْهَبْ إلَى بَيتِ أبِي وَأقارِبِي، وَخُذْ مِنْ هُناكَ زَوْجَةً لابْنِي.›

but you shall go to my father’s house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’

39 ف َقُلْتُ لِسَيِّدِي: ‹رُبَّما تَرفُضُ الفَتاةُ أنْ تَأْتِيَ مَعِي.›

I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not follow me?’

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

He said to me, ‘Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my relatives, and of my father’s house.

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

Then will you be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don’t give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.’

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

I came today to the spring, and said, ‘Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go—

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

behold, I am standing by this spring of water. Let it happen, that the maiden who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”

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

and she will tell me, “Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,”—let her be the woman whom Yahweh has appointed for my master’s son.’

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

Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’

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

She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.’ So I drank, and she also gave the camels a drink.

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

I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.

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

I bowed my head, and worshiped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.

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

Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. If not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.”

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

Then Laban and Bethuel answered, “The thing proceeds from Yahweh. We can’t speak to you bad or good.

51 ه ا هِيَ رِفْقَةُ، فَخُذْها زَوْجَةً لابْنِ سَيِّدِكَ كَما قَضَى اللهُ.»

Behold, Rebekah is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as Yahweh has spoken.”

52 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَ خادِمُ إبْراهِيمَ كَلامَهُما، سَجَدَ للهِ عَلَى الأرْضِ.

When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Yahweh.

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

The servant brought out jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.

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

They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, “Send me away to my master.”

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

Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go.”

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

He said to them, “Don’t hinder me, since Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.”

57 ف َقالوا: «نَدعُو الفَتاةَ وَنَسألُها أمامَكَ.»

They said, “We will call the young lady, and ask her.”

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

They called Rebekah, and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”

59 ف َصَرَفا رِفْقَةَ وَمُرَبِّيَتَها مَعَ خادِمِ إبْراهِيمَ وَرِجالِهِ.

They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham’s servant, and his men.

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

They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your offspring possess the gate of those who hate them.”

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

Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

62 و َكانَ إسْحاقُ قَدْ تَرَكَ مُخَيَّمَهُ قُرْبَ مَدْخَلِ بِئْرِ لَحْيَ رُئِي وَسَكَنَ فِي النَّقَبِ.

Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.

63 ف َخَرَجَ لِيَتَفَكَّرَ قَبلَ المَساءِ فِي الحَقلِ. وَرَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ، فَإذا بِهِ يَرَى جِمالاً قادِمَةً.

Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming.

64 و َرَفَعَتْ رِفقَةُ نَظَرَها فَرَأتْ إسْحاقَ. فَتَرَجَّلَتْ عَنِ الجَمَلِ.

Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel.

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

She said to the servant, “Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” She took her veil, and covered herself.

66 ث ُمَّ رَوَى الخادِمُ لإسْحاقَ كُلَّ ما فَعَلَهُ.

The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.

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

Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
