1 ¶ And 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 slave of his house, who 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 the heavens 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 slave said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land, must I therefore bring thy son again unto the land from which thou didst come?

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 that thou not bring my son there again.

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

7 T he LORD God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my kindred and who spoke unto me and swore 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 there.

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 free from this my oath; only do not bring my son there again.

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

9 T hen the slave put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master and swore to him concerning that matter.

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

10 ¶ And the slave took ten camels of the camels of his master and departed with the best of what his master had in his hand; and he arose and went to Ara-naharaim, 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 kneel down outside 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, to have a good encounter this day and show mercy 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 fountain of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come out for 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 to drink also; let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy slave Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shown mercy 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, whom no man had known; and she went down to the fountain and filled her pitcher and was coming back up.

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

17 T hen the slave 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 hastened to 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 finished giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also until they have finished drinking.

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

20 A nd she hastened 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 marveled at her in silence, to see whether the LORD had prospered his journey 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 finished drinking that the man took a golden pendant 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, whom she gave birth unto Nahor.

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

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

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

26 T hen 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 has not lifted his mercy and his truth from my master, the LORD leading me in the way 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 those of her mother’s house these things.

فَرَكَضَتِ الفَتاةُ وَأخبَرَتْ بَيتَ أُمِّها بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ.

29 ¶ And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban; and Laban ran out unto the man to the fountain.

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

30 A nd it came to pass when he saw the pendant and the bracelets upon his sister’s hands, she said, Thus spoke the man unto me; then he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the fountain.

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; why dost thou stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and the place for the camels.

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

32 T hen the man came into the house, and Laban ungirded his camels and gave straw and fodder 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 they set food before him to eat, but he said, I will not eat until I have told my errand. And he said unto him, 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 slave.

فَقالَ: «أنا خادِمُ إبْراهِيمَ.

35 A nd the LORD has blessed my master greatly, and he is become great; and he has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold and menslaves and maidslaves 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, bore a son to my master when she was old, unto whom he has given all that he has.

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 from there a wife for 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 lineage 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 free from this my oath, when thou hast come unto my lineage; and if they give her not unto thee, thou shalt be free 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 fountain and said, O LORD, God of my master Abraham, if now thou dost prosper my way by which I go,

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

43 b ehold, I stand by the fountain of water; let it come to pass, therefore, that the virgin who comes forth to draw water unto whom I say, 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 if she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels, let the same be the woman whom the LORD has prepared 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 finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder, and she went down unto the fountain 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 gave to drink unto the camels 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 bore unto him. Then I put the pendant over her nose 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, who had led me in the way of the truth 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 in mercy and truth 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 proceeds 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 has spoken.

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

52 A nd it came to pass that when Abraham’s slave 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 slave brought forth vessels of silver and vessels of gold and raiment and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother.

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

54 ¶ And they ate and drank, he and the men that were with him, and slept; 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 T hen 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 has 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 T hen 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 S o they sent away Rebekah, their sister, and her nurse and Abraham’s slave 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 ten thousands, and let thy seed possess the gate of those who 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 slave took Rebekah and went away.

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

62 ¶ And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the land of the Negev.

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

63 A nd Isaac had gone out to pray in the field at the evening hour; 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 also 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 asked the slave, What man is this that walks in the field to meet us? And the slave had said, This is my master; therefore she took a veil and covered herself.

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

66 T hen the slave told Isaac all the 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 as 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.
