創29
1雅各起行，到了東方人之地，
2看見田間有一口井，有三群羊臥在井旁；因為人飲羊群都是用那井裡的水。
3常有羊群在那裡聚集，牧人把石頭轉離井口飲羊，隨後又把石頭放在井口的原處。
4雅各對牧人說：「弟兄們，你們是那裡來的？」他們說：「我們是哈蘭來的。」
5他問他們：「拿鶴的孫子拉班，你們認識嗎？」他們說：「我們認識。」
6雅各說：「他平安嗎？」他們說：「平安。看哪，他女兒拉結領著羊來了。」
7雅各說：「日頭還高，不是羊群聚集的時候，你們不如飲羊，再去放一放。」
8他們說：「我們不能，必等羊群聚齊，人把石頭轉離井口才可飲羊。」
9雅各正和他們說話的時候，拉結領著他父親的羊來了，因為那些羊是他牧放的。
10雅各看見母舅拉班的女兒拉結和母舅拉班的羊群，就上前把石頭轉離井口，飲他母舅拉班的羊群。
11雅各與拉結親嘴，就放聲而哭。
12雅各告訴拉結，自己是他父親的外甥，是利百加的兒子，拉結就跑去告訴他父親。
13拉班聽見外甥雅各的信息，就跑去迎接，抱著他，與他親嘴，領他到自己的家。雅各將一切的情由告訴拉班。
14拉班對他說：「你實在是我的骨肉。」雅各就和他同住了一個月。
15拉班對雅各說：「你雖是我的骨肉(弟兄)，豈可白白地服事我？請告訴我，你要什麼為工價？」
16拉班有兩個女兒，大的名叫利亞，小的名叫拉結。
17利亞的眼睛沒有神氣，拉結卻生得美貌俊秀。
18雅各愛拉結，就說：「我願為你小女兒拉結服事你七年。」
19拉班說：「我把他給你，勝似給別人，你與我同住吧！」
20雅各就為拉結服事了七年；他因為深愛拉結，就看這七年如同幾天。
21雅各對拉班說：「日期已經滿了，求你把我的妻子給我，我好與他同房。」
22拉班就擺設筵席，請齊了那地方的眾人。
23到晚上，拉班將女兒利亞送來給雅各，雅各就與他同房。
24拉班又將婢女悉帕給女兒利亞作使女。
25到了早晨，雅各一看是利亞，就對拉班說：「你向我做的是什麼事呢？我服事你，不是為拉結嗎？你為什麼欺哄我呢？」
26拉班說：「大女兒還沒有給人，先把小女兒給人，在我們這地方沒有這規矩。
27你為這個滿了七日，我就把那個也給你，你再為他服事我七年。」
28雅各就如此行。滿了利亞的七日，拉班便將女兒拉結給雅各為妻。
29拉班又將婢女辟拉給女兒拉結作使女。
30雅各也與拉結同房，並且愛拉結勝似愛利亞，於是又服事了拉班七年。
31耶和華見利亞失寵(被恨)，就使他生育，拉結卻不生育。
32利亞懷孕生子，就給他起名叫流便(就是有兒子的意思)，因而說：「耶和華看見我的苦情，如今我的丈夫必愛我。」
33他又懷孕生子，就說：「耶和華因為聽見我失寵，所以又賜給我這個兒子」，於是給他起名叫西緬(就是聽見的意思)。
34他又懷孕生子，起名叫利未(就是聯合的意思)，說：「我給丈夫生了三個兒子，他必與我聯合。」
35他又懷孕生子，說：「這回我要讚美耶和華」，因此給他起名叫猶大(就是讚美的意思)。這才停了生育。
Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob continued on his journey and came to the land of the eastern peoples.
2 There he saw a well in the open country, with three flocks of sheep lying near it because the flocks were watered from that well. The stone over the mouth of the well was large.
3 When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone away from the well’s mouth and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.
4 Jacob asked the shepherds, “My brothers, where are you from?” “We’re from Harran,” they replied.
5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban, Nahor’s grandson?” “Yes, we know him,” they answered.
6 Then Jacob asked them, “Is he well?” “Yes, he is,” they said, “and here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep.”
7 “Look,” he said, “the sun is still high; it is not time for the flocks to be gathered. Water the sheep and take them back to pasture.”
8 “We can’t,” they replied, “until all the flocks are gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the well. Then we will water the sheep.”
9 While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherd.
10 When Jacob saw Rachel daughter of his uncle Laban, and Laban’s sheep, he went over and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle’s sheep.
11 Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep aloud.
12 He had told Rachel that he was a relative of her father and a son of Rebekah. So she ran and told her father.
13 As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister’s son, he hurried to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, and there Jacob told him all these things.
14 Then Laban said to him, “You are my own flesh and blood.” After Jacob had stayed with him for a whole month,
15 Laban said to him, “Just because you are a relative of mine, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me what you wages should be.”
16 Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel had a lovely figure and was beautiful.
18 Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, “I’ll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel.”
19 Laban said, “It’s better that I give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me.”
20 So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her.
21 Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife. My time is completed, and I want to make love to her.”
22 So Laban brought together all the people of the place and gave a feast.
23 But when evening came, he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and Jacob made love to her.
24 And Laban gave his servant Zilpah to his daughter as her attendant.
25 When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn’t I? Why have you deceived me?”
26 Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older one.
27 Finish this daughter’s bridal week; then we will give you the younger one also, in return for another seven years of work.”
28 And Jacob did so. He finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.
29 Laban gave his servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her attendant.
30 Jacob made love to Rachel also, and his love for Rachel was greater than his love for Leah. And he worked for Laban another seven years.
31 When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive, but Rachel remained childless.
32 Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said, “It is because the Lord has seen my misery. Surely my husband will love me now.”
33 She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “Because the Lord heard that I am not loved, he gave me this one too.” So she named him Simeon.
34 Again she conceived, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.
35 She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “This time I will praise the Lord.” So she named him Judah. Then she stopped having children.
創30
1拉結見自己不給雅各生子，就嫉妒他姊姊，對雅各說：「你給我孩子，不然我就死了。」
2雅各向拉結生氣，說：「叫你不生育的是神，我豈能代替他作主呢？」
3拉結說：「有我的使女辟拉在這裡，你可以與他同房，使他生子在我膝下，我便因他也得孩子(被建立)。」
4拉結就把他的使女辟拉給丈夫為妾；雅各便與他同房，
5辟拉就懷孕，給雅各生了一個兒子。
6拉結說：「神伸了我的冤，也聽了我的聲音，賜我一個兒子」，因此給他起名叫但(就是伸冤的意思)。
7拉結的使女辟拉又懷孕，給雅各生了第二個兒子。
8拉結說：「我與我姊姊大大相爭，並且得勝」，於是給他起名叫拿弗他利(就是相爭的意思)。
9利亞見自己停了生育，就把使女悉帕給雅各為妾。
10利亞的使女悉帕給雅各生了一個兒子。
11利亞說：「萬幸！」於是給他起名叫迦得(就是萬幸的意思)。
12利亞的使女悉帕又給雅各生了第二個兒子。
13利亞說：「我有福啊，眾女子都要稱我是有福的」，於是給他起名叫亞設(就是有福的意思)。
14割麥子的時候，流便往田裡去，尋見風茄，拿來給他母親利亞。拉結對利亞說：「請你把你兒子的風茄給我些。」
15利亞說：「你奪了我的丈夫還算小事嗎？你又要奪我兒子的風茄嗎？」拉結說：「為你兒子的風茄，今夜他可以與你同寢。」
16到了晚上，雅各從田裡回來，利亞出來迎接他，說：「你要與我同寢，因為我實在用我兒子的風茄把你雇下了。」那一夜，雅各就與他同寢。
17神應允了利亞，他就懷孕，給雅各生了第五個兒子。
18利亞說：「神給了我價值，因為我把使女給了我丈夫」，於是給他起名叫以薩迦(就是價值的意思)。
19利亞又懷孕，給雅各生了第六個兒子。
20利亞說：「神賜我厚賞；我丈夫必與我同住，因我給他生了六個兒子」，於是給他起名西布倫(就是同住的意思)。
21後來又生了一個女兒，給他起名叫底拿。
22神顧念拉結，應允了他，使他能生育。
23拉結懷孕生子，說：「神除去了我的羞恥」，
24就給他起名叫約瑟(就是增添的意思)，，意思說：「願耶和華再增添我一個兒子。」
25拉結生約瑟之後，雅各對拉班說：「請打發我走，叫我回到我本鄉本土去。
26請你把我服事你所得的妻子和兒女給我，讓我走；我怎樣服事你，你都知道。」
27拉班對他說：「我若在你眼前蒙恩，請你仍與我同住，因為我已算定，耶和華賜福與我是為你的緣故」；
28又說：「請你定你的工價，我就給你。」
29雅各對他說：「我怎樣服事你，你的牲畜在我手裡怎樣，是你知道的。
30我未來之先，你所有的很少，現今卻發大眾多，耶和華隨我的腳步賜福與你。如今，我什麼時候才為自己興家立業呢？」
31拉班說：「我當給你什麼呢？」雅各說：「什麼你也不必給我，只有一件事，你若應承，我便仍舊牧放你的羊群。
32今天我要走遍你的羊群，把綿羊中凡有點的、有斑的，和黑色的，並山羊中凡有斑的、有點的，都挑出來；將來這一等的就算我的工價。
33以後你來查看我的工價，凡在我手裡的山羊不是有點有斑的，綿羊不是黑色的，那就算是我偷的；這樣便可證出我的公義來。」
34拉班說：「好啊！我情願照著你的話行。」
35當日，拉班把有紋的、有斑的公山羊，有點的、有班的、有雜白紋的母山羊，並黑色的綿羊，都挑出來，交在他兒子們的手下，
36又使自己和雅各相離三天的路程。雅各就牧養拉班其餘的羊。
37雅各拿楊樹、杏樹、楓樹的嫩枝，將皮剝成白紋，使枝子露出白的來，
38將剝了皮的枝子，對著羊群，插在飲羊的水溝裡和水槽裡，羊來喝的時候，牝牡配合。
39羊對著枝子配合，就生下有紋的、有點的、有斑的來。
40雅各把羊羔分出來，使拉班的羊與這有紋和黑色的羊相對，把自己的羊另放一處，不叫他和拉班的羊混雜。
41到羊群肥壯配合的時候，雅各就把枝子插在水溝裡，使羊對著枝子配合。
42只是到羊瘦弱配合的時候就不插枝子。這樣，瘦弱的就歸拉班，肥壯的就歸雅各。
43於是雅各極其發大，得了許多的羊群、僕婢、駱駝，和驢。
Genesis 30
1 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I’ll die!”
2 Jacob became angry with her and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?”
3 Then she said, “Here is Bilhah, my servant. Sleep with her so that she can bear children for me and I too can build a family through her.”
4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife. Jacob slept with her,
5 and she became pregnant and bore him a son.
6 Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; he has listened to my plea and given me a son.” Because of this she named him Dan.
7 Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
8 Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle with my sister, and I have won.” So she named him Naphtali.
9 When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took her servant Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
10 Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
11 Then Leah said, “What good fortune!” So she named him Gad.
12 Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.
13 Then Leah said, “How happy I am! The women will call me happy.” So she named him Asher.
14 During wheat harvest, Reuben went out into the fields and found some mandrake plants, which he brought to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
15 But she said to her, “Wasn’t it enough that you took away my husband? Will you take my son’s mandrakes too?” “Very well,” Rachel said, “he can sleep with you tonight in return for your son’s mandrakes.”
16 So when Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. “You must sleep with me,” she said. “I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.
17 God listened to Leah, and she became pregnant and bore Jacob a fifth son.
18 Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my servant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
19 Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son.
20 Then Leah said, “God has presented me with a precious gift. This time my husband will treat me with honor, because I have borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.
21 Some time later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
22 Then God remembered Rachel; he listened to her and enabled her to conceive.
23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son and said, “God has taken away my disgrace.”
24 She named him Joseph, and said, “May the Lord add to me another son.”
25 After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can go back to my own homeland.
26 Give my my wives and children, for whom I have served you, and I will be on my way. You know how much work I’ve done for you.”
27 But Laban said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the Lord has blessed me because of you.”
28 He added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
29 Jacob said to him, “You know how I have worked for you and how your livestock has fared under my care.
30 The little you had before I came has increased greatly, and the Lord has blessed you wherever I have been. But now, when may I do something for my own household?”’
31 “What shall I give you?” he asked. “Don’t give me anything,” Jacob replied. “But if you will do this one thing for me, I will go on tending your flocks and watching over them:
32 Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb and every spotted or speckled goat. They will be my wages.
33 And my honesty will testify for me in the future, whenever you check on the wages you have paid me. Any goat in my possession that is not speckled or spotted, or any lamb that is not dark-colored, will be considered stolen.”
34 “Agreed,” said Laban, “Let it be as you have said.”
35 That same day he removed all the male goats that were streaked or spotted, and all the speckled or spotted female goats (all that had white on them) and all the dark-colored lambs, and he placed them in the care of his sons.
36 Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob continued to tend the rest of Laban’s flocks.
37 Jacob, however, took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white stripes on them by peeling the bark and exposing the white inner wood of the branches.
38 Then he placed the peeled branches in all the watering troughs, so that they would be directly in front of the flocks when they came to drink. When the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
39 they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.
40 Jacob set apart the young of the flock by themselves, but made the rest face the streaked and dark-colored animals that belonged to Laban. Thus he made separate flocks for himself and did not put them with Laban’s animals.
41 Whenever the stronger females were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs in front of the animals so they would mate near the branches,
42 but if the animals were weak, he would not place them there. So the weak animals went to Laban and the strong ones to Jacob.
43 In this way the man grew exceedingly prosperous and came to own large flocks, and female and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
