¹فلما رأت راحيل انها لم تلد ليعقوب غارت راحيل من اختها وقالت ليعقوب هب لي بنين. وإلا فانا اموت.

¹And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said to Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.

²فحمي غضب يعقوب على راحيل وقال ألعلي مكان الله الذي منع عنك ثمرة البطن.

²And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, Am I in God's stead, who has withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?

³فقالت هوذا جاريتي بلهة. ادخل عليها فتلد على ركبتيّ وأرزق انا ايضا منها بنين.

³And she said, Behold, there is my maid, Bilhah: go in to her, in order that she may bear on my knees, and I may also be built up by her.

⁴. فاعطته بلهة جاريتها زوجة. فدخل عليها يعقوب

⁴And she gave him Bilhah her maidservant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.

⁵. فحبلت بلهة وولدت ليعقوب ابنا

⁵And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

⁶فقالت راحيل قد قضى لي الله وسمع ايضا لصوتي واعطاني ابنا. لذلك دعت اسمه دانا.

⁶And Rachel said, God has done me justice, and has also heard my voice, and given me a son; therefore she called his name Dan.

⁷وحبلت ايضا بلهة جارية راحيل وولدت ابنا ثانيا ليعقوب.

⁷And Bilhah Rachel's maidservant again conceived, and bore Jacob a second son.

⁸فقالت راحيل مصارعات الله قد صارعت اختي وغلبت. فدعت اسمه نفتالي

⁸And Rachel said, Wrestlings of God have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed; and she called his name Naphtali.

⁹ولما رأت ليئة انها توقّفت عن الولادة اخذت زلفة جاريتها واعطتها ليعقوب زوجة.

⁹And when Leah saw that she had ceased to bear, she took Zilpah her maidservant and gave her to Jacob as wife.

¹⁰فولدت زلفة جارية ليئة ليعقوب ابنا.

¹⁰And Zilpah Leah's maidservant bore Jacob a son.

¹¹فقالت ليئة بسعد. فدعت اسمه جادا.

¹¹And Leah said, Fortunately! and she called his name Gad.

¹²وولدت زلفة جارية ليئة ابنا ثانيا ليعقوب.

¹²And Zilpah Leah's maidservant bore Jacob a second son.

¹³فقالت ليئة بغبطتي لانه تغبطني بنات. فدعت اسمه اشير

¹³And Leah said, Happy am I; for the daughters will call me blessed! and she called his name Asher.

¹⁴ومضى رأوبين في ايام حصاد الحنطة فوجد لفّاحا في الحقل وجاء به الى ليئة امه. فقالت راحيل لليئة اعطني من لفّاح ابنك.

¹⁴And Reuben went out in the days of wheat-harvest, and found mandrakes in the fields; and he brought them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.

¹⁵فقالت لها أقليل انك اخذت رجلي فتاخذين لفّاح ابني ايضا. فقالت راحيل اذا يضطجع معك الليلة عوضا عن لفّاح ابنك.

¹⁵And she said to her, Is it [too] little that thou hast taken my husband, that thou wilt take my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.

¹⁶فلما اتى يعقوب من الحقل في المساء خرجت ليئة لملاقاته وقالت اليّ تجيء لاني قد استأجرتك بلفّاح ابني. فاضطجع معها تلك الليلة.

¹⁶And when Jacob came from the fields in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in to me, for indeed I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.

¹⁷وسمع الله لليئة فحبلت وولدت ليعقوب ابنا خامسا.

¹⁷And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

¹⁸فقالت ليئة قد اعطاني الله اجرتي لاني اعطيت جاريتي لرجلي. فدعت اسمه يسّاكر.

¹⁸And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my maidservant to my husband; and she called his name Issachar.

¹⁹وحبلت ايضا ليئة وولدت ابنا سادسا ليعقوب.

¹⁹And Leah again conceived, and bore Jacob a sixth son;

²⁰فقالت ليئة قد وهبني الله هبة حسنة. الآن يساكنني رجلي لاني ولدت له ستة بنين. فدعت اسمه زبولون.

²⁰and Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry; this time will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons. And she called his name Zebulun.

²¹ثم ولدت ابنة ودعت اسمها دينة

²¹And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

²²وذكر الله راحيل وسمع لها الله وفتح رحمها.

²²And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.

²³فحبلت وولدت ابنا. فقالت قد نزع الله عاري.

²³And she conceived, and bore a son, and said, God has taken away my reproach.

²⁴ودعت اسمه يوسف قائلة يزيدني الرب ابنا آخر

²⁴And she called his name Joseph; and said, Jehovah will add to me another son.

²⁵وحدث لما ولدت راحيل يوسف ان يعقوب قال للابان اصرفني لاذهب الى مكاني والى ارضي.

²⁵And it came to pass when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my country.

²⁶اعطني نسائي واولادي الذين خدمتك بهم فاذهب. لانك انت تعلم خدمتي التي خدمتك.

²⁶Give [me] my wives for whom I have served thee, and my children; that I may go away, for thou knowest my service which I have served thee.

²⁷فقال له لابان ليتني اجد نعمة في عينيك. قد تفاءلت فباركني الرب بسببك.

²⁷And Laban said to him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes -- I have discovered that Jehovah has blessed me for thy sake.

²⁸وقال عيّن لي اجرتك فاعطيك.

²⁸And he said, Appoint to me thy wages, and I will give it.

²⁹فقال له انت تعلم ماذا خدمتك وماذا صارت مواشيك معي.

²⁹And he said to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and what thy cattle has become with me.

³⁰لان ما كان لك قبلي قليل فقد اتّسع الى كثير وباركك الرب في اثري. والآن متى اعمل انا ايضا لبيتي.

³⁰For it was little that thou hadst before me, and it is increased to a multitude, and Jehovah has blessed thee from the time I came; and now, when shall I also provide for my house?

³¹فقال ماذا اعطيك. فقال يعقوب لا تعطيني شيئا. ان صنعت لي هذا الامر اعود ارعى غنمك واحفظها.

³¹And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me anything. If thou doest this for me, I will again feed [and] keep thy flock:

³²اجتاز بين غنمك كلها اليوم. وأعزل انت منها كل شاة رقطاء وبلقاء وكل شاة سوداء بين الخرفان وبلقاء ورقطاء بين المعزى. فيكون مثل ذلك اجرتي

³²I will pass through all thy flock to-day, to remove thence all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the brown lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and [that] shall be my hire.

³³ويشهد فيّ برّي يوم غد اذا جئت من اجل اجرتي قدامك. كل ما ليس ارقط او ابلق بين المعزى واسود بين الخرفان فهو مسروق عندي.

³³And my righteousness shall answer for me hereafter, when thou comest about my hire, before thy face: all that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs, let that be stolen with me.

³⁴فقال لابان هوذا ليكن بحسب كلامك.

³⁴And Laban said, Well, let it be according to thy word.

³⁵فعزل في ذلك اليوم التيوس المخطّطة والبلقاء وكل العناز الرقطاء والبلقاء. كل ما فيه بياض وكل اسود بين الخرفان. ودفعها الى ايدي بنيه.

³⁵And he removed that day the he-goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the brown among the lambs, and gave [them] into the hand of his sons.

³⁶وجعل مسيرة ثلاثة ايام بينه وبين يعقوب. وكان يعقوب يرعى غنم لابان الباقية

³⁶And he put three days' journey between himself and Jacob. And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flock.

³⁷فأخذ يعقوب لنفسه قضبانا خضرا من لبنى ولوز ودلب وقشر فيها خطوطا بيضا كاشطا عن البياض الذي على القضبان.

³⁷And Jacob took fresh rods of white poplar, almond-tree, and maple; and peeled off white stripes in them, uncovering the white which was on the rods.

³⁸واوقف القضبان التي قشرها في الاجران في مساقي الماء حيث كانت الغنم تجيء لتشرب. تجاه الغنم. لتتوحم عند مجيئها لتشرب.

³⁸And he set the rods which he had peeled before the flock, in the troughs at the watering-places where the flock came to drink, and they were ardent when they came to drink.

³⁹فتوحّمت الغنم عند القضبان وولدت الغنم مخطّطات ورقطا وبلقا.

³⁹And the flock was ardent before the rods; and the flock brought forth ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.

⁴⁰وافرز يعقوب الخرفان وجعل وجوه الغنم الى المخطّط وكل اسود بين غنم لابان. وجعل له قطعانا وحده ولم يجعلها مع غنم لابان.

⁴⁰And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flock toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he made himself separate flocks, and did not put them with Laban's flock.

⁴¹وحدث كلما توحّمت الغنم القوية ان يعقوب وضع القضبان امام عيون الغنم في الاجران. لتتوحّم بين القضبان.

⁴¹And it came to pass whensoever the strong cattle were ardent, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might become ardent among the rods;

⁴²وحين استضعفت الغنم لم يضعها. فصارت الضعيفة للابان والقوية ليعقوب.

⁴²but when the sheep were feeble, he put [them] not in; so the feeble were Laban's, and the strong Jacob's.

⁴³فاتّسع الرجل كثيرا جدا. وكان له غنم كثير وجوار وعبيد وجمال وحمير

⁴³And the man increased very, very much, and had much cattle, and bondwomen, and bondmen, and camels, and asses.
