Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
Então pôs-se Jacob a pé, e foi-se à terra dos filhos de oriente;
2 He looked, and saw a well in the field, and saw three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well’s mouth was large.
E olhou, e eis um poço no campo, e eis três rebanhos de ovelhas que estavam deitados junto a ele; porque daquele poço davam de beber aos rebanhos: e havia uma grande pedra sobre a boca do poço.
3 There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone back on the well’s mouth in its place.
E ajuntavam ali todos os rebanhos, e removiam a pedra de sobre a boca do poço, e davam de beber às ovelhas: e tornavam a pôr a pedra sobre a boca do poço, no seu lugar.
4 Jacob said to them, “My relatives, where are you from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
E disse-lhes Jacob: Meus irmãos, de onde sois? E disseram: Somos de Haran.
5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
E ele lhes disse: Conheceis a Labão, filho de Nachor? E disseram: Conhecemos.
6 He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.”
Disse-lhes mais: Está ele bem? E disseram: Está bem, e eis aqui Rachel sua filha, que vem com as ovelhas.
7 He said, “Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.”
E ele disse: Eis que ainda é muito dia, não é tempo de ajuntar o gado; dai de beber às ovelhas, e ide, apascentai-as.
8 They said, “We cannot, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth. Then we will water the sheep.”
E disseram: Não podemos, até que todos os rebanhos se ajuntem, e removam a pedra de sobre a boca do poço, para que demos de beber às ovelhas.
9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them.
Estando ele ainda falando com eles, veio Rachel com as ovelhas de seu pai: porque ela era pastora.
10 When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
E aconteceu que, vendo Jacob a Rachel, filha de Labão, irmão de sua mãe, e as ovelhas de Labão, irmão de sua mãe, chegou Jacob, e revolveu a pedra de sobre a boca do poço, e deu de beber às ovelhas de Labão, irmão de sua mãe.
11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
E Jacob beijou a Rachel, e levantou a sua voz, e chorou.
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.
E Jacob anunciou a Rachel que era irmão de seu pai, e que era filho de Rebeca: então ela correu, e o anunciou a seu pai.
13 When Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.
E aconteceu que, ouvindo Labão as novas de Jacob, filho de sua irmã, correu-lhe ao encontro, e abraçou-o, e beijou-o, e levou-o à sua casa: e contou ele a Labão todas estas coisas.
14 Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month.
Então Labão disse-lhe: Verdadeiramente és tu o meu osso e a minha carne. E ficou com ele um mês inteiro.
15 Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
Depois disse Labão a Jacob: Porque tu és meu irmão, as de servir-me de graça? declara-me qual será o teu salário.
16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
E Labão tinha duas filhas; o nome da mais velha era Leah, e o nome da menor Rachel.
17 Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.
Leah porém tinha olhos tenros, mas Rachel era de formoso semblante e formosa à vista.
18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
E Jacob amava a Rachel, e disse: Sete anos te servirei por Rachel, tua filha menor.
19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
Então disse Labão: Melhor é que eu t'a dê, do que eu a dê a outro varão: fica comigo.
20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
Assim serviu Jacob sete anos por Rachel; e foram aos seus olhos como poucos dias, pelo muito que a amava.
21 Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”
E disse Jacob a Labão: Dá-me minha mulher, porque meus dias são cumpridos, para que eu entre a ela.
22 Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Então ajuntou Labão a todos os varões daquele lugar, e fez um banquete.
23 In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.
E aconteceu, à tarde, que tomou Leah sua filha, e trouxe-lha: e entrou a ela.
24 Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.
E Labão deu sua serva Zilpah a Leah sua filha por serva.
25 In the morning, behold, it was Leah! He said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did not I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?”
E aconteceu pela manhã, eis que era Leah; pelo que disse a Labão: Porque me fizeste isso? não te tenho servido por Rachel? porque pois me enganaste?
26 Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
E disse Labão: Não se faz assim no nosso lugar, que a menor se dê antes da primogênita.
27 Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me for seven more years.”
Cumpre a semana desta; então te daremos também a outra, pelo serviço que ainda outros sete anos servires comigo.
28 Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
E Jacob fez assim: e cumpriu a semana desta: então lhe deu por mulher Rachel sua filha.
29 Laban gave Bilhah, his servant, to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.
E Labão deu sua serva Bilha por serva a Rachel, sua filha.
30 He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him seven more years.
E entrou também a Rachel, e amou também a Rachel mais do que a Leah; e serviu com ele ainda outros sete anos.
31 The LORD saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
Vendo pois o Senhor que Leah era aborrecida, abriu a sua madre; porém Rachel era estéril.
32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because the LORD has looked at my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”
E concebeu Leah, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Ruben, porque disse: Porque o Senhor atendeu à minha aflição, por isso agora me amará o meu marido.
33 She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon.
E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Porquanto o Senhor ouviu que eu era aborrecida, me deu também este; e chamou o seu nome Simeão.
34 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Agora esta vez se ajuntará meu marido comigo, porque três filhos lhe tenho parido: por isso chamou o seu nome Levi.
35 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Esta vez louvarei ao Senhor. Por isso chamou o seu nome Judá: e cessou de parir.
