Genesi (تكوين) 30

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 فلما رأت راحيل انها لم تلد ليعقوب غارت راحيل من اختها وقالت ليعقوب هب لي بنين. وإلا فانا اموت.	1 And Rachel, seeing herself without children, envied her sister, and said to her husband: Give me children, otherwise I shall die.
2 فحمي غضب يعقوب على راحيل وقال ألعلي مكان الله الذي منع عنك ثمرة البطن.	2 And Jacob being angry with her, answered: Am I as God, who hath deprived thee of the fruit of thy womb?
3 فقالت هوذا جاريتي بلهة. ادخل عليها فتلد على ركبتيّ وأرزق انا ايضا منها بنين.	3 But she said: I have here my servant Bala: go in unto her, that she may bear upon my knees, and I may have children by her.
4 . فاعطته بلهة جاريتها زوجة. فدخل عليها يعقوب	4 And she gave him Bala in marriage: who,
5 . فحبلت بلهة وولدت ليعقوب ابنا	5 When her husband had gone in unto her, conceived and bore a son.
6 فقالت راحيل قد قضى لي الله وسمع ايضا لصوتي واعطاني ابنا. لذلك دعت اسمه دانا.	6 And Rachel said: The Lord hath judged for me, and hath heard my voice, giving me a son, and therefore she called his name Dan.
7 وحبلت ايضا بلهة جارية راحيل وولدت ابنا ثانيا ليعقوب.	7 And again Bala conceived and bore another,
8 فقالت راحيل مصارعات الله قد صارعت اختي وغلبت. فدعت اسمه نفتالي	8 For whom Rachel said: God hath compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called him Nephtali.
9 ولما رأت ليئة انها توقّفت عن الولادة اخذت زلفة جاريتها واعطتها ليعقوب زوجة.	9 Lia, perceiving that she had left off bearing, gave Zelpha her handmaid to her husband.
10 فولدت زلفة جارية ليئة ليعقوب ابنا.	10 And when she had conceived and brought forth a son,
11 فقالت ليئة بسعد. فدعت اسمه جادا.	11 She said: Happily. And therefore called his name Gad.
12 وولدت زلفة جارية ليئة ابنا ثانيا ليعقوب.	12 Zelpha also bore another.
13 فقالت ليئة بغبطتي لانه تغبطني بنات. فدعت اسمه اشير	13 And Lia said: This is for my happiness: for women will call me blessed. Therefore she called him Aser.
14 ومضى رأوبين في ايام حصاد الحنطة فوجد لفّاحا في الحقل وجاء به الى ليئة امه. فقالت راحيل لليئة اعطني من لفّاح ابنك.	14 And Ruben, going out in the time of the wheat harvest into the field, found mandrakes: which he brought to his mother Lia. And Rachel said: Give me part of thy son's mandrakes.
15 فقالت لها أقليل انك اخذت رجلي فتاخذين لفّاح ابني ايضا. فقالت راحيل اذا يضطجع معك الليلة عوضا عن لفّاح ابنك.	15 She answered: Dost thou think it a small matter, that thou hast taken my husband from me, unless thou take also my son's mandrakes? Rachel said: He shall sleep with thee this night, for thy son's mandrakes.
16 فلما اتى يعقوب من الحقل في المساء خرجت ليئة لملاقاته وقالت اليّ تجيء لاني قد استأجرتك بلفّاح ابني. فاضطجع معها تلك الليلة.	16 And when Jacob returned at even from the field, Lia went out to meet him, and said: Thou shalt come in unto me, because I have hired thee for my son's mandrakes. And he slept with her that night.
17 وسمع الله لليئة فحبلت وولدت ليعقوب ابنا خامسا.	17 And God heard her prayers: and she conceived and bore the fifth son,
18 فقالت ليئة قد اعطاني الله اجرتي لاني اعطيت جاريتي لرجلي. فدعت اسمه يسّاكر.	18 And said: God hath given me a reward, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
19 وحبلت ايضا ليئة وولدت ابنا سادسا ليعقوب.	19 And Lia conceived again, and bore the sixth son,
20 فقالت ليئة قد وهبني الله هبة حسنة. الآن يساكنني رجلي لاني ولدت له ستة بنين. فدعت اسمه زبولون.	20 And said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry: this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon.
21 ثم ولدت ابنة ودعت اسمها دينة	21 After whom she bore a daughter, named Diana.
22 وذكر الله راحيل وسمع لها الله وفتح رحمها.	22 The Lord also remembering Rachel, heard her, and opened her womb.
23 فحبلت وولدت ابنا. فقالت قد نزع الله عاري.	23 And she conceived, and bore a son, saying: God hath taken my reproach.
24 ودعت اسمه يوسف قائلة يزيدني الرب ابنا آخر	24 And she called his name Joseph, saying: The Lord give me also another son.
25 وحدث لما ولدت راحيل يوسف ان يعقوب قال للابان اصرفني لاذهب الى مكاني والى ارضي.	25 And when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father in law: Send me away that I may return into my country, and to my land.
26 اعطني نسائي واولادي الذين خدمتك بهم فاذهب. لانك انت تعلم خدمتي التي خدمتك.	26 Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart: thou knowest the service that I have rendered thee.
27 فقال له لابان ليتني اجد نعمة في عينيك. قد تفاءلت فباركني الرب بسببك.	27 Laban said to him: Let me find favour in thy sight: I have learned by experience, that God hath blessed me for thy sake.
28 وقال عيّن لي اجرتك فاعطيك.	28 Appoint thy wages which I shall give thee.
29 فقال له انت تعلم ماذا خدمتك وماذا صارت مواشيك معي.	29 But he answered: Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how great thy possession hath been in my hands.
30 لان ما كان لك قبلي قليل فقد اتّسع الى كثير وباركك الرب في اثري. والآن متى اعمل انا ايضا لبيتي.	30 Thou hadst but little before I came to thee, and now thou art become rich: and the Lord hath blessed thee at my coming. It is reasonable therefore that I should now provide also for my own house.
31 فقال ماذا اعطيك. فقال يعقوب لا تعطيني شيئا. ان صنعت لي هذا الامر اعود ارعى غنمك واحفظها.	31 And Laban said: What shall I give thee? But he said: I require nothing: but if thou wilt do what I demand, I will feed, and keep thy sheep again.
32 اجتاز بين غنمك كلها اليوم. وأعزل انت منها كل شاة رقطاء وبلقاء وكل شاة سوداء بين الخرفان وبلقاء ورقطاء بين المعزى. فيكون مثل ذلك اجرتي	32 Go round through all thy flocks, and separate all the sheep of divers colours, and speckled: and all that is brown and spotted, and of divers colours, as well among the sheep, as among the goats, shall be my wages.
33 ويشهد فيّ برّي يوم غد اذا جئت من اجل اجرتي قدامك. كل ما ليس ارقط او ابلق بين المعزى واسود بين الخرفان فهو مسروق عندي.	33 And my justice shall answer for me to morrow before thee when the time of the bargain shall come: and all that is not of divers colours, and spotted, and brown, as well among the sheep as among the goats, shall accuse me of theft.
34 فقال لابان هوذا ليكن بحسب كلامك.	34 And Laban said: I like well what thou demandest.
35 فعزل في ذلك اليوم التيوس المخطّطة والبلقاء وكل العناز الرقطاء والبلقاء. كل ما فيه بياض وكل اسود بين الخرفان. ودفعها الى ايدي بنيه.	35 And he separated the name day the she goats, and the sheep, and the he goats, and the rams of divers colours, and spotted: and all the flock of one colour, that is, of white and black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons.
36 وجعل مسيرة ثلاثة ايام بينه وبين يعقوب. وكان يعقوب يرعى غنم لابان الباقية	36 And he set the space of three days' journey betwixt himself and his son in law, who fed the rest of his flock.
37 فأخذ يعقوب لنفسه قضبانا خضرا من لبنى ولوز ودلب وقشر فيها خطوطا بيضا كاشطا عن البياض الذي على القضبان.	37 And Jacob took green robs of poplar, and of almond, and of place trees, and pilled them in part: so when the bark was taken off, in the parts that were pilled, there appeared whiteness: but the parts that were whole remained green: and by this means the colour was divers.
38 واوقف القضبان التي قشرها في الاجران في مساقي الماء حيث كانت الغنم تجيء لتشرب. تجاه الغنم. لتتوحم عند مجيئها لتشرب.	38 And he put them in the troughs, where the water was poured out: that when the flocks should come to drink, they might have the rods before their eyes, and in the sight of them might conceive.
39 فتوحّمت الغنم عند القضبان وولدت الغنم مخطّطات ورقطا وبلقا.	39 And it came to pass that in the very heat of coition, the sheep beheld the rods, and brought forth spotted, and of divers colours, and speckled.
40 وافرز يعقوب الخرفان وجعل وجوه الغنم الى المخطّط وكل اسود بين غنم لابان. وجعل له قطعانا وحده ولم يجعلها مع غنم لابان.	40 And Jacob separated the flock, and put the rods in the troughs before the eyes of the rams: and all the white and the black were Laban's: and the rest were Jacob's, when the flocks were separated one from the other.
41 وحدث كلما توحّمت الغنم القوية ان يعقوب وضع القضبان امام عيون الغنم في الاجران. لتتوحّم بين القضبان.	41 So when the ewes went first to ram, Jacob put the rods in the roughs of water before the eyes of the rams, and of the ewes, that they might conceive while they were looking upon them:
42 وحين استضعفت الغنم لم يضعها. فصارت الضعيفة للابان والقوية ليعقوب.	42 But when the latter coming was, and the last conceiving, he did not put them. And those that were late ward, become Laban's: and they of the first time, Jacob's.
43 فاتّسع الرجل كثيرا جدا. وكان له غنم كثير وجوار وعبيد وجمال وحمير	43 And the man was enriched exceedingly, and he had many flocks, maid servants and men servants, camels and asses.
