Genesi (تكوين) 32

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 واما يعقوب فمضى في طريقه ولاقاه ملائكة الله.	1 Jacob also went on the journey he had begun: and the angels of God met him.
2 وقال يعقوب اذ رآهم هذا جيش الله. فدعا اسم ذلك المكان محنايم	2 And when he saw them, he said: These are the camps of God, and he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, Camps.
3 وارسل يعقوب رسلا قدامه الى عيسو اخيه الى ارض سعير بلاد ادوم.	3 And he sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir to the country of Edom:
4 وامرهم قائلا هكذا تقولون لسيدي عيسو. هكذا قال عبدك يعقوب. تغربت عند لابان ولبثت الى الآن.	4 And he commanded them, saying: Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy brother Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and have been with him until this day.
5 وقد صار لي بقر وحمير وغنم وعبيد واماء. وارسلت لاخبر سيدي لكي اجد نعمة في عينيك	5 I have oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants, and womenservants: and now I send a message to my lord, that I may find favor in thy sight.
6 فرجع الرسل الى يعقوب قائلين أتينا الى اخيك الى عيسو. وهو ايضا قادم للقائك واربع مئة رجل معه.	6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying: We came to Esau thy brother, and behold he cometh with speed to meet thee with four hundred men.
7 فخاف يعقوب جدا وضاق به الامر. فقسم القوم الذين معه والغنم والبقر والجمال الى جيشين.	7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid; and in his fear divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the sheep, and the oxen, and the camels, into two companies,
8 وقال ان جاء عيسو الى الجيش الواحد وضربه يكون الجيش الباقي ناجيا	8 Saying: If Esau come to one company and destroy it, the other company that is left shall escape.
9 وقال يعقوب يا اله ابي ابراهيم واله ابي اسحق الرب الذي قال لي ارجع الى ارضك والى عشيرتك فاحسن اليك.	9 And Jacob said: O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, who saidst to me: Return to thy land and to the place of thy birth, and I will do well for thee,
10 صغير انا عن جميع الطافك وجميع الامانة التي صنعت الى عبدك. فاني بعصاي عبرت هذا الاردن والآن قد صرت جيشين.	10 I am not worthy of the least of all thy mercies, and of thy truth which thou hast fulfilled to thy servant. With my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I return with two companies.
11 نجّني من يد اخي من يد عيسو. لاني خائف منه ان يأتي ويضربني الام مع البنين.	11 Deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am greatly afraid of him: lest perhaps he come, and kill the mother with the children.
12 وانت قد قلت اني احسن اليك واجعل نسلك كرمل البحر الذي لا يعدّ للكثرة	12 Thou didst say that thou wouldst do well by me, and multiply my seed like the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for the multitude.
13 وبات هناك تلك الليلة واخذ مما اتى بيده هدية لعيسو اخيه.	13 And when he had slept there that night, he set apart, of the things which he had, presents for his brother Esau.
14 مئتي عنز وعشرين تيسا مئتي نعجة وعشرين كبشا	14 Two hundred she goats, twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
15 ثلاثين ناقة مرضعة واولادها اربعين بقرة وعشرة ثيران عشرين اتانا وعشرة حمير.	15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and twenty bulls, twenty she asses, and ten of their foals.
16 ودفعها الى يد عبيده قطيعا قطيعا على حدة. وقال لعبيده اجتازوا قدّامي واجعلوا فسحة بين قطيع وقطيع.	16 And he sent them by the hands of his servants, every drove by itself, and he said to his servants: Go before me, and let there be a space between drove and drove.
17 وامر الاول قائلا اذا صادفك عيسو اخي وسألك قائلا لمن انت والى اين تذهب ولمن هذا الذي قدامك	17 And he commanded the first, saying: If thou meet my brother Esau, and he ask thee: Whose art thou? or whither goest thou? or whose are these before thee?
18 تقول لعبدك يعقوب. هو هدية مرسلة لسيدي عيسو. وها هو ايضا وراءنا.	18 Thou shalt answer: Thy servant Jacob's: he hath sent them as a present to my lord Esau: and he cometh after us.
19 وامر ايضا الثاني والثالث وجميع السائرين وراء القطعان قائلا بمثل هذا الكلام تكلّمون عيسو حينما تجدونه.	19 In like manner he commanded the second and the third, and all that followed with the droves, saying: Speak ye the same words to Esau, when ye find him.
20 وتقولون هوذا عبدك يعقوب ايضا وراءنا. لانه قال استعطف وجهه بالهدية السائرة امامي وبعد ذلك انظر وجهه. عسى ان يرفع وجهي.	20 And ye shall add: thy servant Jacob himself also followeth after us: for he said: I will appease him with the presents that go before, and afterwards I will see him, perhaps he will be gracious to me.
21 فاجتازت الهدية قدامه. واما هو فبات تلك الليلة في المحلّة	21 So the presents went before him, but himself lodged that night in the camp.
22 ثم قام في تلك الليلة واخذ امرأتيه وجاريتيه واولاده الاحد عشر وعبر مخاضة يبّوق.	22 And rising early he took his two wives, and his two handmaids, with his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Jaboc.
23 اخذهم واجازهم الوادي واجاز ما كان له.	23 And when all things were brought over that belonged to him,
24 فبقي يعقوب وحده. وصارعه انسان حتى طلوع الفجر.	24 He remained alone: and behold a man wrestled with him till morning.
25 ولما رأى انه لا يقدر عليه ضرب حقّ فخذه. فانخلع حقّ فخذ يعقوب في مصارعته معه.	25 And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank.
26 وقال اطلقني لانه قد طلع الفجر. فقال لا اطلقك ان لم تباركني.	26 And he said to him: Let me go, for it is break of day. He answered: I will not let thee go except thou bless me.
27 فقال له ما اسمك. فقال يعقوب.	27 And he said: What is thy name? He answered: Jacob.
28 فقال لا يدعى اسمك في ما بعد يعقوب بل اسرائيل. لانك جاهدت مع الله والناس وقدرت.	28 But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel: for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men?
29 وسأل يعقوب وقال اخبرني باسمك. فقال لماذا تسأل عن اسمي. وباركه هناك	29 Jacob asked him, Tell me by what name art thou called? He answered: Why dost thou ask my name? And he blessed him in the same place.
30 فدعا يعقوب اسم المكان فنيئيل. قائلا لاني نظرت الله وجها لوجه ونجّيت نفسي.	30 And Jacob called the name of the place Phanuel, saying: I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved.
31 واشرقت له الشمس اذ عبر فنوئيل وهو يخمع على فخذه.	31 And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he was past Phanuel; but he halted on his foot.
32 لذلك لا يأكل بنو اسرائيل عرق النّسا الذي على حقّ الفخذ الى هذا اليوم. لانه ضرب حقّ فخذ يعقوب على عرق النّسا	32 Therefore the children of Israel, unto this day, eat not the sinew, that shrank in Jacob's thigh: because he touched the sinew of his thigh and it shrank.
