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

¹And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age. And Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things.

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

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

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

³And I will make thee swear by Jehovah, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou wilt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell.

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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.

⁷Jehovah, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my nativity, and who spake unto me, and who sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land. He will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife for my son from thence.

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁰And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed, having all goodly things of his master's in his hand. And he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.

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

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

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

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

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

¹³Behold, I am standing by the fountain of water. And the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.

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

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.

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

¹⁵And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

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

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

¹⁷فركض العبد للقائها وقال اسقيني قليل ماء من جرتك.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²¹And the man looked stedfastly on her, holding his peace, to know whether Jehovah had made his journey prosperous or not.

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

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

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

²³and said, Whose daughter art thou? Tell me, I pray thee. Is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?

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

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

²⁵وقالت له عندنا تبن وعلف كثير ومكان لتبيتوا ايضا.

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

²⁶فخرّ الرجل وسجد للرب.

²⁶And the man bowed his head, and worshipped Jehovah.

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

²⁷And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who hath not forsaken his lovingkindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Jehovah hath led me in the way to the house of my master's brethren.

²⁸فركضت الفتاة واخبرت بيت امها بحسب هذه الامور

²⁸And the damsel ran, and told her mother's house according to these words.

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

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

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.

³⁰And it came to pass, when he saw the ring, and the 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 was standing by the camels at the fountain.

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

³¹And he said, Come in, thou blessed of Jehovah. Wherefore standest thou without? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.

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

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

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

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

³⁴فقال انا عبد ابراهيم.

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

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

³⁵And Jehovah hath blessed my master greatly. And he is become great. And he hath given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and men-servants and maid-servants, and camels and asses.

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

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.

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

³⁷And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell.

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

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

³⁹فقلت لسيدي ربما لا تتبعني المرأة.

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

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

⁴⁰And he said unto me, Jehovah, 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.

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

⁴¹Then shalt thou be clear from my oath, when thou comest to my kindred. And if they give her not to thee, thou shalt be clear from my oath.

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

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

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

⁴³Behold, I am standing by the fountain of water. And let it come to pass, that the maiden that cometh forth to draw, to whom I shall say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher to drink.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands.

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

⁴⁸And I bowed my head, and worshipped Jehovah, and blessed Jehovah, 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.

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

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.

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

⁵⁰Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from Jehovah. We cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

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

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

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

⁵²And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth unto Jehovah.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

⁵⁶And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing Jehovah hath prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.

⁵⁷فقالوا ندعو الفتاة ونسألها شفاها.

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

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

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

⁵⁹فصرفوا رفقة اختهم ومرضعتها وعبد ابراهيم ورجاله.

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

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

⁶⁰And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of ten thousands, and let thy seed possess the gate of those that hate them.

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

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.

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

⁶²And Isaac came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi. For he dwelt in the land of the South.

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

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

⁶⁴ورفعت رفقة عينيها فرأت اسحق فنزلت عن الجمل.

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

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

⁶⁵And she said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It is my master. And she took her veil, and covered herself.

⁶⁶ثم حدّث العبد اسحق بكل الامور التي صنع.

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

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

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.
