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 has taken away all that was our father's, and of what was our father's he has acquired all this glory.

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

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

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

³And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return into 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 fields to his flock,

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

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

⁶وانتما تعلمان اني بكل قوتي خدمت اباكما.

⁶And you know that with 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 has mocked me, and has 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 hire, then all the flocks bore speckled; and if he said thus: The ringstraked shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore ringstraked.

⁹فقد سلب الله مواشي ابيكما واعطاني.

⁹And God has 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 of the ardour of the flocks, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams that leaped upon the flocks were ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.

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

¹¹And the Angel of God said to me in a 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 rams that leap upon the flock are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban does to 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 ùGod of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vow to me. Now arise, depart out of this land, and return to the land of thy kindred.

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

¹⁴And Rachel and Leah answered and said to 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 reckoned of him strangers? for he has sold us, and has even constantly devoured our money.

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

¹⁶For all the wealth that God has taken from our father is ours and our children's; and now whatever God has said to thee do.

¹⁷فقام يعقوب وحمل اولاده ونساءه على الجمال.

¹⁷And Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon 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 carried away all his cattle, and all his property that he had acquired -- the cattle of his possessions that he had acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to Isaac his father, into the land of Canaan.

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

¹⁹And Laban had gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that [belonged] to her father.

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

²⁰And Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled.

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

²¹And he fled with all that he had; and he rose up and passed over the river, and set his face [toward] mount Gilead.

²²فأخبر لابان في اليوم الثالث بان يعقوب قد هرب.

²²And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had 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 overtook him on mount 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 by night, and said to him, Take care 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; and Jacob had pitched his tent on the mountain; Laban also with his brethren pitched on mount 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 deceived me, and hast carried away my daughters as captives of war?

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

²⁷Why didst thou flee away covertly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have conducted thee with mirth and with songs, with tambour and with harp;

²⁸ولم تدعني اقبّل بني وبناتي. الآن بغباوة فعلت.

²⁸and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now thou hast acted foolishly.

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

²⁹It would be in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take care 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 that thou must needs be gone, because thou greatly longedst after thy father's house, why hast thou stolen my gods?

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

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

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 what is thine with me, and take [it] to thee. But Jacob did not know 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 two handmaids' tents, and found nothing; 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 under the camel's saddle; and she sat upon them. And Laban explored all the tent, but found nothing.

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 it not be an occasion of anger in the eyes of my lord that I cannot rise up before thee, for it is with me after the manner of women. And he searched carefully, but did not find the teraphim.

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

³⁶And Jacob was angry, and he disputed with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my fault, what my sin, that thou hast so 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 explored all my baggage, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set [it] here before my brethren and thy brethren, and let them decide between us both.

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 flock I have not eaten.

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

³⁹What was torn I have not brought to thee; I had to bear the loss of it: of my hand hast thou required it, [whether] stolen by day or stolen by night.

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

⁴⁰Thus it was with me: in the day the heat 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.

⁴¹I have been these twenty years in thy house: I have 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

⁴²Had not the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, been with me, it is certain thou wouldest have sent me away now empty. God has looked upon my affliction and the labour of my hands, and has judged last night.

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 to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons are my sons, and the flock is my flock, and all that thou seest is mine; but as for my daughters, what can I do this day to them, or to their sons whom they have brought forth?

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 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 to his brethren, Gather stones. And they took stones, and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap.

⁴⁷ودعاها لابان يجرسهدوثا. واما يعقوب فدعاها جلعيد.

⁴⁷And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.

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

⁴⁸And Laban said, This heap is a 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.

⁴⁹-- and Mizpah; for he said, Let Jehovah watch between me and thee, when we shall be hidden one from another:

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

⁵⁰if thou shouldest afflict my daughters, or if thou shouldest take wives besides my daughters, -- no man is with us; see, God is witness between 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 up between me and thee:

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

⁵²[let] this heap be witness, and the pillar a witness, that neither I pass this heap [to go] to thee, nor thou pass this heap and this pillar [to come] to 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 between us! And Jacob swore 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 upon the mountain, and invited his brethren to eat bread: and they ate bread, and lodged on the mountain.

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

⁵⁵And Laban rose early in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban went and returned to his place.
