¹And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

¹وشاخ ابراهيم وتقدم في الايام. وبارك الرب ابراهيم في كل شيء.

²And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

²وقال ابراهيم لعبده كبير بيته المستولي على كل ما كان له. ضع يدك تحت فخذي.

³And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, 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:

³فاستحلفك بالرب اله السماء واله الارض ان لا تأخذ زوجة لابني من بنات الكنعانيين الذين انا ساكن بينهم.

⁴But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

⁴بل الى ارضي والى عشيرتي تذهب وتأخذ زوجة لابني اسحق.

⁵And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?

⁵فقال له العبد ربما لا تشاء المرأة ان تتبعني الى هذه الارض. هل ارجع بابنك الى الارض التي خرجت منها.

⁶And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.

⁶فقال له ابراهيم احترز من ان ترجع بابني الى هناك.

⁷The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware 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 thence.

⁷الرب اله السماء الذي اخذني من بيت ابي ومن ارض ميلادي والذي كلمني والذي اقسم لي قائلا لنسلك اعطي هذه الارض هو يرسل ملاكه امامك فتاخذ زوجة لابني من هناك.

⁸And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.

⁸وان لم تشإ المرأة ان تتبعك تبرأت من حلفي هذا. اما ابني فلا ترجع به الى هناك.

⁹And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.

⁹فوضع العبد يده تحت فخذ ابراهيم مولاه وحلف له على هذا الامر

¹⁰And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.

¹⁰ثم اخذ العبد عشرة جمال من جمال مولاه ومضى وجميع خيرات مولاه في يده. فقام وذهب الى ارام النهرين الى مدينة ناحور.

¹¹And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.

¹¹واناخ الجمال خارج المدينة عند بئر الماء وقت المساء وقت خروج المستقيات.

¹²And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham.

¹²وقال ايها الرب اله سيدي ابراهيم يسّر لي اليوم واصنع لطفا الى سيدي ابراهيم.

¹³Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

¹³ها انا واقف على عين الماء وبنات اهل المدينة خارجات ليستقين ماء.

¹⁴And 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 drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast showed kindness unto my master.

¹⁴فليكن ان الفتاة التي اقول لها اميلي جرتك لاشرب فتقول اشرب وانا اسقي جمالك ايضا هي التي عيّنتها لعبدك اسحق. وبها اعلم انك صنعت لطفا الى سيدي

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵واذ كان لم يفرغ بعد من الكلام اذا رفقة التي ولدت لبتوئيل ابن ملكة امرأة ناحور اخي ابراهيم خارجة وجرتها على كتفها.

¹⁶And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

¹⁶وكانت الفتاة حسنة المنظر جدا وعذراء لم يعرفها رجل. فنزلت الى العين وملأت جرتها وطلعت.

¹⁷And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.

¹⁷فركض العبد للقائها وقال اسقيني قليل ماء من جرتك.

¹⁸And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.

¹⁸فقالت اشرب يا سيدي. واسرعت وانزلت جرتها على يدها وسقته.

¹⁹And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.

¹⁹ولما فرغت من سقيه قالت استقي لجمالك ايضا حتى تفرغ من الشرب.

²⁰And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

²⁰فاسرعت وافرغت جرتها في المسقاة وركضت ايضا الى البئر لتستقي. فاستقت لكل جماله.

²¹And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.

²¹والرجل يتفرس فيها صامتا ليعلم أأنجح الرب طريقه ام لا.

²²And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;

²²وحدث عندما فرغت الجمال من الشرب ان الرجل اخذ خزامة ذهب وزنها نصف شاقل وسوارين على يديها وزنهما عشرة شواقل ذهب.

²³And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?

²³وقال بنت من انت. اخبريني. هل في بيت ابيك مكان لنا لنبيت.

²⁴And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.

²⁴فقالت له انا بنت بتوئيل ابن ملكة الذي ولدته لناحور.

²⁵She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.

²⁵وقالت له عندنا تبن وعلف كثير ومكان لتبيتوا ايضا.

²⁶And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.

²⁶فخرّ الرجل وسجد للرب.

²⁷And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.

²⁷وقال مبارك الرب اله سيدي ابراهيم الذي لم يمنع لطفه وحقه عن سيدي. اذ كنت انا في الطريق هداني الرب الى بيت اخوة سيدي.

²⁸And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.

²⁸فركضت الفتاة واخبرت بيت امها بحسب هذه الامور

²⁹And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.

²⁹وكان لرفقة اخ اسمه لابان. فركض لابان الى الرجل خارجا الى العين.

³⁰And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.

³⁰وحدث انه اذ رأى الخزامة والسوارين على يدي اخته واذ سمع كلام رفقة اخته قائلة هكذا كلمني الرجل جاء الى الرجل واذا هو واقف عند الجمال على العين.

³¹And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.

³¹فقال ادخل يا مبارك الرب. لماذا تقف خارجا وانا قد هيّأت البيت ومكانا للجمال.

³²And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.

³²فدخل الرجل الى البيت وحلّ عن الجمال. فاعطى تبنا وعلفا للجمال وماء لغسل رجليه وارجل الرجال الذين معه.

³³And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.

³³ووضع قدامه ليأكل. فقال لا آكل حتى اتكلم كلامي. فقال تكلم

³⁴And he said, I am Abraham's servant.

³⁴فقال انا عبد ابراهيم.

³⁵And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

³⁵والرب قد بارك مولاي جدا فصار عظيما. واعطاه غنما وبقرا وفضة وذهبا وعبيدا واماء وجمالا وحميرا.

³⁶And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.

³⁶وولدت سارة امرأة سيدي ابنا لسيدي بعدما شاخت فقد اعطاه كل ما له.

³⁷And 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:

³⁷واستحلفني سيدي قائلا لا تأخذ زوجة لابني من بنات الكنعانيين الذين انا ساكن في ارضهم.

³⁸But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.

³⁸بل الى بيت ابي تذهب والى عشيرتي وتاخذ زوجة لابني.

³⁹And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.

³⁹فقلت لسيدي ربما لا تتبعني المرأة.

⁴⁰And 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 kindred, and of my father's house:

⁴⁰فقال لي ان الرب الذي سرت امامه يرسل ملاكه معك وينجح طريقك. فتاخذ زوجة لابني من عشيرتي ومن بيت ابي.

⁴¹Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.

⁴¹حينئذ تتبرأ من حلفي حينما تجيء الى عشيرتي. وان لم يعطوك فتكون بريئا من حلفي.

⁴²And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:

⁴²فجئت اليوم الى العين وقلت ايها الرب اله سيدي ابراهيم ان كنت تنجح طريقي الذي انا سالك فيه

⁴³Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;

⁴³فها انا واقف على عين الماء وليكن ان الفتاة التي تخرج لتستقي واقول لها اسقيني قليل ماء من جرتك

⁴⁴And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.

⁴⁴فتقول لي اشرب انت وانا استقي لجمالك ايضا هي المرأة التي عيّنها الرب لابن سيدي.

⁴⁵And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.

⁴⁵واذ كنت انا لم افرغ بعد من الكلام في قلبي اذا رفقة خارجة وجرتها على كتفها فنزلت الى العين واستقت. فقلت لها اسقيني.

⁴⁶And 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 made the camels drink also.

⁴⁶فاسرعت وانزلت جرتها عنها وقالت اشرب وانا اسقي جمالك ايضا. فشربت. وسقت الجمال ايضا.

⁴⁷And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.

⁴⁷فسألتها وقلت بنت من انت. فقالت بنت بتوئيل بن ناحور الذي ولدته له ملكة. فوضعت الخزامة في انفها والسوارين على يديها.

⁴⁸And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.

⁴⁸وخررت وسجدت للرب وباركت الرب اله سيدي ابراهيم الذي هداني في طريق امين لآخذ ابنة اخي سيدي لابنه.

⁴⁹And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.

⁴⁹والآن ان كنتم تصنعون معروفا وامانة الى سيدي فاخبروني. وإلا فاخبروني لانصرف يمينا او شمالا

⁵⁰Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

⁵⁰فاجاب لابان وبتوئيل وقالا من عند الرب خرج الامر. لا نقدر ان نكلمك بشر او خير.

⁵¹Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.

⁵¹هوذا رفقة قدامك. خذها واذهب. فلتكن زوجة لابن سيدك كما تكلم الرب.

⁵²And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.

⁵²وكان عندما سمع عبد ابراهيم كلامهم انه سجد للرب الى الارض.

⁵³And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.

⁵³واخرج العبد آنية فضة وآنية ذهب وثيابا واعطاها لرفقة. واعطى تحفا لاخيها ولامها.

⁵⁴And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.

⁵⁴فأكل وشرب هو والرجال الذين معه وباتوا. ثم قاموا صباحا فقال اصرفوني الى سيدي.

⁵⁵And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.

⁵⁵فقال اخوها وامها لتمكث الفتاة عندنا اياما او عشرة. بعد ذلك تمضي.

⁵⁶And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.

⁵⁶فقال لهم لا تعوّقوني والرب قد انجح طريقي. اصرفوني لاذهب الى سيدي.

⁵⁷And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.

⁵⁷فقالوا ندعو الفتاة ونسألها شفاها.

⁵⁸And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

⁵⁸فدعوا رفقة وقالوا لها هل تذهبين مع هذا الرجل. فقالت اذهب.

⁵⁹And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.

⁵⁹فصرفوا رفقة اختهم ومرضعتها وعبد ابراهيم ورجاله.

⁶⁰And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

⁶⁰وباركوا رفقة وقالوا لها انت اختنا. صيري الوف ربوات وليرث نسلك باب مبغضيه

⁶¹And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

⁶¹فقامت رفقة وفتياتها وركبن على الجمال وتبعن الرجل. فأخذ العبد رفقة ومضى.

⁶²And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.

⁶²وكان اسحق قد اتى من ورود بئر لحي رئي. اذ كان ساكنا في ارض الجنوب.

⁶³And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.

⁶³وخرج اسحق ليتأمل في الحقل عند اقبال المساء. فرفع عينيه ونظر واذا جمال مقبلة.

⁶⁴And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.

⁶⁴ورفعت رفقة عينيها فرأت اسحق فنزلت عن الجمل.

⁶⁵For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.

⁶⁵وقالت للعبد من هذا الرجل الماشي في الحقل للقائنا. فقال العبد هو سيدي. فاخذت البرقع وتغطّت.

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

⁶⁶ثم حدّث العبد اسحق بكل الامور التي صنع.

⁶⁷And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

⁶⁷فادخلها اسحق الى خباء سارة امه واخذ رفقة فصارت له زوجة واحبّها. فتعزّى اسحق بعد موت امه
