¹فسمع كلام بني لابان قائلين اخذ يعقوب كل ما كان لابينا. ومما لابينا صنع كل هذا المجد.

¹And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory.

²ونظر يعقوب وجه لابان واذا هو ليس معه كامس واول من امس.

²And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as beforetime.

³وقال الرب ليعقوب ارجع الى ارض آبائك والى عشيرتك. فاكون معك

³And Jehovah said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.

⁴فارسل يعقوب ودعا راحيل وليئة الى الحقل الى غنمه.

⁴And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,

⁵وقال لهما انا ارى وجه ابيكما انه ليس نحوي كامس واول من امس. ولكن اله ابي كان معي.

⁵and said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as beforetime; but the God of my father hath been with me.

⁶وانتما تعلمان اني بكل قوتي خدمت اباكما.

⁶And ye know that will all my power I have served your father.

⁷واما ابوكما فغدر بي وغيّر اجرتي عشر مرات. لكن الله لم يسمح له ان يصنع بي شرا.

⁷And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.

⁸ان قال هكذا. الرقط تكون اجرتك ولدت كل الغنم رقطا. وان قال هكذا. المخطّطة تكون اجرتك ولدت كل الغنم مخطّطة.

⁸If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the flock bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstreaked shall be thy wages; then bare all the flock ringstreaked.

⁹فقد سلب الله مواشي ابيكما واعطاني.

⁹Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.

¹⁰وحدث في وقت توحّم الغنم اني رفعت عينيّ ونظرت في حلم واذا الفحول الصاعدة على الغنم مخططة ورقطاء ومنمّرة.

¹⁰And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceive, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled.

¹¹وقال لي ملاك الله في الحلم يا يعقوب. فقلت هانذا.

¹¹And the angel of God said unto me in the dream, Jacob: and I said, Here am I.

¹²فقال ارفع عينيك وانظر. جميع الفحول الصاعدة على الغنم مخطّطة ورقطاء ومنمّرة. لاني قد رأيت كل ما يصنع بك لابان.

¹²And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the he-goats which leap upon the flock are ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.

¹³انا اله بيت ايل حيث مسحت عمودا. حيث نذرت لي نذرا. الآن قم اخرج من هذه الارض وارجع الى ارض ميلادك

¹³I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst a pillar, where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy nativity.

¹⁴فاجابت راحيل وليئة وقالتا له ألنا ايضا نصيب وميراث في بيت ابينا.

¹⁴And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

¹⁵ألم نحسب منه اجنبيتين. لانه باعنا وقد اكل ايضا ثمننا.

¹⁵Are we not accounted by him as foreigners? for he hath sold us, and hath also quite devoured our money.

¹⁶ان كل الغنى الذي سلبه الله من ابينا هو لنا ولاولادنا. فالآن كل ما قال لك الله افعل

¹⁶For all the riches which God hath taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.

¹⁷فقام يعقوب وحمل اولاده ونساءه على الجمال.

¹⁷Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels;

¹⁸وساق كل مواشيه وجميع مقتناه الذي كان قد اقتنى. مواشي اقتنائه التي اقتنى في فدّان ارام. ليجيء الى اسحق ابيه الى ارض كنعان.

¹⁸and he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan.

¹⁹واما لابان فكان قد مضى ليجزّ غنمه. فسرقت راحيل اصنام ابيها.

¹⁹Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's.

²⁰وخدع يعقوب قلب لابان الارامي. اذ لم يخبره بانه هارب.

²⁰And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.

²¹فهرب هو وكل ما كان له وقام وعبر النهر وجعل وجهه نحو جبل جلعاد

²¹So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.

²²فأخبر لابان في اليوم الثالث بان يعقوب قد هرب.

²²And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.

²³فأخذ اخوته معه وسعى وراءه مسيرة سبعة ايام. فادركه في جبل جلعاد.

²³And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.

²⁴وأتى الله الى لابان الارامي في حلم الليل. وقال له احترز من ان تكلم يعقوب بخير او شر.

²⁴And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said unto him, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

²⁵فلحق لابان يعقوب ويعقوب قد ضرب خيمته في الجبل. فضرب لابان مع اخوته في جبل جلعاد

²⁵And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and Laban with his brethren encamped in the mountain of Gilead.

²⁶وقال لابان ليعقوب ماذا فعلت وقد خدعت قلبي وسقت بناتي كسبايا السيف.

²⁶And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters as captives of the sword?

²⁷لماذا هربت خفية وخدعتني ولم تخبرني حتى اشيعك بالفرح والاغاني بالدف والعود.

²⁷Wherefore didst thou flee secretly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp;

²⁸ولم تدعني اقبّل بني وبناتي. الآن بغباوة فعلت.

²⁸and didst not suffer me to kiss my sons and my daughters? now hast thou done foolishly.

²⁹في قدرة يدي ان اصنع بكم شرا. ولكن اله ابيكم كلمني البارحة قائلا احترز من ان تكلم يعقوب بخير او شر.

²⁹It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

³⁰والآن انت ذهبت لانك قد اشتقت الى بيت ابيك. ولكن لماذا سرقت آلهتي

³⁰And now, [though] thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, [yet] wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?

³¹فاجاب يعقوب وقال للابان اني خفت لاني قلت لعلك تغتصب ابنتيك مني.

³¹And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Lest thou shouldest take thy daughters from me by force.

³²الذي تجد آلهتك معه لا يعيش. قدام اخوتنا انظر ماذا معي وخذه لنفسك. ولم يكن يعقوب يعلم ان راحيل سرقتها

³²With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.

³³فدخل لابان خباء يعقوب وخباء ليئة وخباء الجاريتين ولم يجد. وخرج من خباء ليئة ودخل خباء راحيل.

³³And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maid-servants; but he found them not. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.

³⁴وكانت راحيل قد اخذت الاصنام ووضعتها في حداجة الجمل وجلست عليها. فجسّ لابان كل الخباء ولم يجد.

³⁴Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the camel's saddle, and sat upon them. And Laban felt about all the tent, but found them not.

³⁵وقالت لابيها لا يغتظ سيدي اني لا استطيع ان اقوم امامك لان عليّ عادة النساء. ففتّش ولم يجد الاصنام

³⁵And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee; for the manner of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the teraphim.

³⁶فاغتاظ يعقوب وخاصم لابان واجاب يعقوب وقال للابان ما جرمي ما خطيتي حتى حميت ورائي.

³⁶And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast hotly pursued after me?

³⁷انك جسست جميع اثاثي. ماذا وجدت من جميع اثاث بيتك. ضعه ههنا قدام اخوتي واخوتك. فلينصفوا بيننا الاثنين.

³⁷Whereas thou hast felt about all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us two.

³⁸الآن عشرين سنة انا معك. نعاجك وعنازك لم تسقط. وكباش غنمك لم آكل.

³⁸These twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flocks have I not eaten.

³⁹فريسة لم احضر اليك. انا كنت اخسرها. من يدي كنت تطلبها. مسروقة النهار او مسروقة الليل.

³⁹That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

⁴⁰كنت في النهار يأكلني الحرّ وفي الليل الجليد. وطار نومي من عينيّ.

⁴⁰Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.

⁴¹الآن لي عشرون سنة في بيتك. خدمتك اربع عشرة سنة بابنتيك وست سنين بغنمك. وقد غيّرت اجرتي عشر مرات.

⁴¹These twenty years have I been in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.

⁴²لولا ان اله ابي اله ابراهيم وهيبة اسحق كان معي لكنت الآن قد صرفتني فارغا. مشقّتي وتعب يديّ قد نظر الله فوبّخك البارحة

⁴²Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now hadst thou sent me away empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.

⁴³فاجاب لابان وقال ليعقوب البنات بناتي والبنون بنيّ والغنم غنمي وكل ما انت ترى فهو لي. فبناتي ماذا اصنع بهنّ اليوم او باولادهنّ الذين ولدن.

⁴³And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children whom they have borne?

⁴⁴فالآن هلم نقطع عهدا انا وانت. فيكون شاهدا بيني وبينك

⁴⁴And now come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.

⁴⁵فأخذ يعقوب حجرا واوقفه عمودا.

⁴⁵And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.

⁴⁶وقال يعقوب لاخوته التقطوا حجارة. فاخذوا حجارة وعملوا رجمة واكلوا هناك على الرجمة.

⁴⁶And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made a heap: and they did eat there by the heap.

⁴⁷ودعاها لابان يجرسهدوثا. واما يعقوب فدعاها جلعيد.

⁴⁷And Laban called it Jegar-saha-dutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.

⁴⁸وقال لابان هذه الرجمة هي شاهدة بيني وبينك اليوم. لذلك دعي اسمها جلعيد.

⁴⁸And Laban said, This heap is witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed:

⁴⁹والمصفاة. لانه قال ليراقب الرب بيني وبينك حينما نتوارى بعضنا عن بعض.

⁴⁹and Mizpah, for he said, Jehovah watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.

⁵⁰انك لا تذلّ بناتي ولا تأخذ نساء على بناتي. ليس انسان معنا. انظر. الله شاهد بيني وبينك.

⁵⁰If thou shalt afflict my daughters, and if thou shalt take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.

⁵¹وقال لابان ليعقوب هوذا هذه الرجمة وهوذا العمود الذي وضعت بيني وبينك.

⁵¹And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set betwixt me and thee.

⁵²شاهدة هذه الرجمة وشاهد العمود اني لا اتجاوز هذه الرجمة اليك وانك لا تتجاوز هذه الرجمة وهذا العمود اليّ للشرّ.

⁵²This heap be witness, and the pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.

⁵³اله ابراهيم وآلهة ناحور آلهة ابيهما يقضون بيننا. وحلف يعقوب بهيبة ابيه اسحق.

⁵³The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the Fear of his father Isaac.

⁵⁴وذبح يعقوب ذبيحة في الجبل ودعا اخوته ليأكلوا طعاما. فأكلوا طعاما وباتوا في الجبل

⁵⁴And Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mountain.

⁵⁵ثم بكّر لابان صباحا وقبّل بنيه وبناته وباركهم ومضى. ورجع لابان الى مكانه

⁵⁵And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed and returned unto his place.
