Genesis 28

فَدَعَا إِسْحَاقُ يَعْقُوبَ وَبَارَكَهُ، وَأَوْصَاهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «لاَ تَأْخُذْ زَوْجَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ.

And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.

قُمِ اذْهَبْ إِلَى فَدَّانَِ أَرَامَ، إِلَى بَيْتِ بَتُوئِيلَ أَبِي أُمِّكَ، وَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ زَوْجَةً مِنْ هُنَاكَ، مِنْ بَنَاتِ لاَبَانَ أَخِي أُمِّكَ.

Arise, go to Padan–aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.

وَاللهُ الْقَدِيرُ يُبَارِكُكَ، وَيَجْعَلُكَ مُثْمِرًا، وَيُكَثِّرُكَ فَتَكُونُ جُمْهُورًا مِنَ الشُّعُوبِ.

And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;

وَيُعْطِيكَ بَرَكَةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَكَ وَلِنَسْلِكَ مَعَكَ، لِتَرِثَ أَرْضَ غُرْبَتِكَ الَّتِي أَعْطَاهَا اللهُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ».

And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.

فَصَرَفَ إِسْحَاقُ يَعْقُوبَ فَذَهَبَ إِلَى فَدَّانَِ أَرَامَ، إِلَى لاَبَانَ بْنِ بَتُوئِيلَ الأَرَامِيِّ، أَخِي رِفْقَةَ أُمِّ يَعْقُوبَ وَعِيسُوَ.

And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padan–aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.

فَلَمَّا رَأَى عِيسُو أَنَّ إِسْحَاقَ بَارَكَ يَعْقُوبَ وَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى فَدَّانَِ أَرَامَ لِيَأْخُذَ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ هُنَاكَ زَوْجَةً، إِذْ بَارَكَهُ وَأَوْصَاهُ قَائِلاً: «لاَ تَأْخُذْ زَوْجَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ».

When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan–aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;

وَأَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ سَمِعَ لأَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى فَدَّانَِ أَرَامَ،.

And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan–aram;

رَأَى عِيسُو أَنَّ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ شِرِّيرَاتٌ فِي عَيْنَيْ إِسْحَاقَ أَبِيهِ،

And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;

فَذَهَبَ عِيسُو إِلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَأَخَذَ مَحْلَةَ بِنْتَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أُخْتَ نَبَايُوتَ، زَوْجَةً لَهُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ.

Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.

فَخَرَجَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ وَذَهَبَ نَحْوَ حَارَانَ.

And Jacob went out from Beer–sheba, and went toward Haran.

وَصَادَفَ مَكَانًا وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ لأَنَّ الشَّمْسَ كَانَتْ قَدْ غَابَتْ، وَأَخَذَ مِنْ حِجَارَةِ الْمَكَانِ وَوَضَعَهُ تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ، فَاضْطَجَعَ فِي ذلِكَ الْمَكَانِ.

And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.

وَرَأَى حُلْمًا، وَإِذَا سُلَّمٌ مَنْصُوبَةٌ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَرَأْسُهَا يَمَسُّ السَّمَاءَ، وَهُوَذَا مَلاَئِكَةُ اللهِ صَاعِدَةٌ وَنَازِلَةٌ عَلَيْهَا.

And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

وَهُوَذَا الرَّبُّ وَاقِفٌ عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ: «أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكَ وَإِلهُ إِسْحَاقَ. الأَرْضُ الَّتِي أَنْتَ مُضْطَجِعٌ عَلَيْهَا أُعْطِيهَا لَكَ وَلِنَسْلِكَ.

And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

وَيَكُونُ نَسْلُكَ كَتُرَابِ الأَرْضِ، وَتَمْتَدُّ غَرْبًا وَشَرْقًا وَشَمَالاً وَجَنُوبًا، وَيَتَبَارَكُ فِيكَ وَفِي نَسْلِكَ جَمِيعُ قَبَائِلِ الأَرْضِ.

And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

وَهَا أَنَا مَعَكَ، وَأَحْفَظُكَ حَيْثُمَا تَذْهَبُ، وَأَرُدُّكَ إِلَى هذِهِ الأَرْضِ، لأَنِّي لاَ أَتْرُكُكَ حَتَّى أَفْعَلَ مَا كَلَّمْتُكَ بِهِ».

And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

فَاسْتَيْقَظَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَقَالَ: «حَقًّا إِنَّ الرَّبَّ فِي هذَا الْمَكَانِ وَأَنَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ!».

And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.

وَخَافَ وَقَالَ: «مَا أَرْهَبَ هذَا الْمَكَانَ! مَا هذَا إِلاَّ بَيْتُ اللهِ، وَهذَا بَابُ السَّمَاءِ».

And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

وَبَكَّرَ يَعْقُوبُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَأَخَذَ الْحَجَرَ الَّذِي وَضَعَهُ تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ وَأَقَامَهُ عَمُودًا، وَصَبَّ زَيْتًا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ.

And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.

وَدَعَا اسْمَ ذلِكَ الْمَكَانِ «بَيْتَ إِيلَ»، وَلكِنِ اسْمُ الْمَدِينَةِ أَوَّلاً كَانَ لُوزَ.

And he called the name of that place Beth–el: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.

وَنَذَرَ يَعْقُوبُ نَذْرًا قَائِلاً: «إِنْ كَانَ اللهُ مَعِي، وَحَفِظَنِي فِي هذَا الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي أَنَا سَائِرٌ فِيهِ، وَأَعْطَانِي خُبْزًا لآكُلَ وَثِيَابًا لأَلْبَسَ،

And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,

وَرَجَعْتُ بِسَلاَمٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي، يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ لِي إِلهًا،

So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:

وَهذَا الْحَجَرُ الَّذِي أَقَمْتُهُ عَمُودًا يَكُونُ بَيْتَ اللهِ، وَكُلُّ مَا تُعْطِينِي فَإِنِّي أُعَشِّرُهُ لَكَ».

And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
