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

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

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

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

3 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.

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

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

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

5 T he 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?”

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

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

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

7 Y ahweh, 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.

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 I f 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.”

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

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

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

10 T he 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.

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 H e 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.

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

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

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

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

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

14 L et 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.”

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 B efore 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.

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

16 T he 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

20 S he hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, 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 T he man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether Yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not.

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

22 A s 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,

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 are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge in?”

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

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

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

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

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

26 T he man bowed his head, and worshiped Yahweh.

ثُمَّ حَنَى الرَّجُلُ رَأْسَهُ وَحَمَدَ اللهَ.

27 H e 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.”

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

28 T he young lady ran, and told her mother’s house about these words.

فَرَكَضَتِ الفَتاةُ وَأخبَرَتْ بَيتَ أُمِّها بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ.

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

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

30 W hen 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.

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 H e said, “Come in, you blessed of Yahweh. Why do you stand outside? 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 T he 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.

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

33 F ood was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my message.” 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 H e said, “I am Abraham’s servant.

فَقالَ: «أنا خادِمُ إبْراهِيمَ.

35 Y ahweh 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.

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

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

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

37 M y 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,

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

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

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

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

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

40 H e 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.

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 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.’

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

42 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—

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

43 b ehold, 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,”

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

44 a nd 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.’

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

45 B efore 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.’

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

46 S he 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.

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

47 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.

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

48 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.

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

49 N ow 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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

فَلَمّا سَمِعَ خادِمُ إبْراهِيمَ كَلامَهُما، سَجَدَ للهِ عَلَى الأرْضِ.

53 T he 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.

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

54 T hey 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.”

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

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

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

56 H e said to them, “Don’t hinder me, since Yahweh 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 hey said, “We will call the young lady, and ask her.”

فَقالوا: «نَدعُو الفَتاةَ وَنَسألُها أمامَكَ.»

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

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

59 T hey sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham’s servant, and his men.

فَصَرَفا رِفْقَةَ وَمُرَبِّيَتَها مَعَ خادِمِ إبْراهِيمَ وَرِجالِهِ.

60 T hey 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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

64 R ebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel.

وَرَفَعَتْ رِفقَةُ نَظَرَها فَرَأتْ إسْحاقَ. فَتَرَجَّلَتْ عَنِ الجَمَلِ.

65 S he 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.

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

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

ثُمَّ رَوَى الخادِمُ لإسْحاقَ كُلَّ ما فَعَلَهُ.

67 I saac 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.

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