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

¹And Abraham was old, [and] advanced 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 to his servant, the eldest of his house, who ruled over all that he had, Put thy hand, I pray thee, 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 the heavens and the God of the earth, that thou take not a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am dwelling;

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

⁴but thou shalt go to my land 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 to him, Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land: must I, then, bring thy son again in any case to the land from which thou hast removed?

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

⁶And Abraham said to him, Beware 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 the heavens, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land of my nativity, and who has spoken to me, and who has sworn to me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land -- he will send his angel before thee, that thou mayest take a wife for my son 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 quit of this my oath: only, bring not 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 swore unto him concerning that 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; now all the treasure of his master was under his hand; and he arose and went to Aram-naharaim, to the city of Nahor.

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

¹¹And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water, at the time of the evening, when the women came out to draw [water].

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

¹²And he said, Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, meet me, I pray thee, [with thy blessing] this day, and deal kindly with my master Abraham.

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

¹³Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come 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 maiden to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink, and who will say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also, be she whom thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and hereby I shall know that thou hast dealt kindly with 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 ended speaking, that behold, Rebecca came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother; and [she had] her pitcher upon her shoulder.

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

¹⁶And the maiden was very fair in countenance; a virgin, and no man had known her. And she went down to the well, 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, Let me, I pray thee, sip a little water out of 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 on her hand, and gave him to drink.

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

¹⁹And when she had given him enough to drink, she said, I will draw [water] for thy camels also, until they have drunk enough.

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 to the well to draw [water]; and she drew for all his camels.

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

²¹And the man was astonished at her, remaining silent, 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 when the camels had drunk enough, that the man took a gold ring, of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands, 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?

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

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

²⁵وقالت له عندنا تبن وعلف كثير ومكان لتبيتوا ايضا.

²⁵And she said to him, There is straw, and also much provender with us; also room to lodge.

²⁶فخرّ الرجل وسجد للرب.

²⁶And the man stooped, and bowed down before 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 said, Blessed be Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, who has not withdrawn his loving-kindness and his faithfulness from my master; I being in the way, Jehovah has led me to the house of my master's brethren.

²⁸فركضت الفتاة واخبرت بيت امها بحسب هذه الامور

²⁸And the maiden ran and told these things to her mother's house.

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

²⁹And Rebecca had a brother, named Laban; and Laban ran out to the man, to 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.

³⁰And it came to pass when he saw the ring and the bracelets on his sister's hand, and when he heard the words of Rebecca his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man to me -- that he came to the man, and behold, he was standing by the camels, by the well.

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

³¹And he said, Come in, blessed of Jehovah! why standest thou outside? 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 gave the camels straw and provender, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who were with him.

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

³³And there was set [meat] before him to eat; but he said, I will not eat until I have made known my business. 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 has blessed my master greatly, and he is become great; and he has given him sheep and cattle, and silver and gold, and bondmen and bondwomen, and camels and asses.

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

³⁶And Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master after she had grown old; and unto him has he given all that he has.

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 Canaanite, in whose land I am dwelling;

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

³⁸but thou shalt by all means go to my father's house and to my family, and take a wife for my son.

³⁹فقلت لسيدي ربما لا تتبعني المرأة.

³⁹And I said to my master, Perhaps 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 to me, Jehovah, before whom I have walked, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way, that thou mayest take a wife for my son of my family, and out of my father's house.

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

⁴¹Then shalt thou be quit of my oath, when thou shalt have come to my family. And if they give thee not [one], thou shalt be quit of 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 to the well, and said, Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, if now thou wilt prosper my way on which I go,

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

⁴³behold, I stand by the well of water, and let it come to pass that the damsel who cometh forth to draw [water], and to whom I shall say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water out of 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 -- that she should 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.

⁴⁵Before I ended speaking in my heart, behold, Rebecca came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder, and went down to the well, and drew [water]; and I said to her, Give me, I pray thee, to drink.

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

⁴⁶And she hasted and let down her pitcher from her [shoulder], and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also. And I drank; and she gave 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 bore to him. And I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.

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

⁴⁸And I stooped, and bowed down before Jehovah; and I blessed Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, who has led me 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; and I will 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.

⁵⁰And Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from Jehovah: we cannot speak to thee bad or good.

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

⁵¹Behold, Rebecca is before thee: take [her], and go away; and let her be wife of thy master's son, as Jehovah has said.

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

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

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

⁵³And the servant brought forth silver articles, and gold articles, and clothing, and he gave [them] to Rebecca; and he gave 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 ate and drank, he and the men that were with him, and lodged. And they rose up in the morning; and he said, Send me away to my master.

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

⁵⁵And her brother and her mother said, Let the maiden abide with us [some] days, or [say] ten; after that she shall go.

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

⁵⁶And he said to them, Do not hinder me, seeing Jehovah has prospered my way: send me away, and I will go to my master.

⁵⁷فقالوا ندعو الفتاة ونسألها شفاها.

⁵⁷And they said, Let us call the maiden and inquire at her mouth.

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

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

⁵⁹فصرفوا رفقة اختهم ومرضعتها وعبد ابراهيم ورجاله.

⁵⁹And they sent away Rebecca 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 Rebecca, and said to her, Thou art our sister; mayest thou become thousands of tens of thousands; and may thy seed possess the gate of their enemies!

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

⁶¹And Rebecca arose, and her maids, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man. And the servant took Rebecca, and went away.

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

⁶²And Isaac had just returned from Beer-lahai-roi; for he was dwelling in the south country.

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

⁶³And Isaac had gone out to meditate in the fields toward the beginning of evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, camels were coming.

⁶⁴ورفعت رفقة عينيها فرأت اسحق فنزلت عن الجمل.

⁶⁴And Rebecca lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac, and she sprang off the camel.

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

⁶⁵And she had said to the servant, Who is the man that is walking in the fields to meet us? And the servant said, That is my master! Then she took the veil, and covered herself.

⁶⁶ثم حدّث العبد اسحق بكل الامور التي صنع.

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

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

⁶⁷And Isaac led her into his mother Sarah's tent; and he took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after [the death of] his mother.
