Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey till he came to the land of the children of the East.
Então poz-se Jacob a pé, e foi-se á terra dos filhos de oriente;
2 And there he saw a water-hole in a field, and by the side of it three flocks of sheep, for there they got water for the sheep: and on the mouth of the water-hole there was a great stone.
E olhou, e eis um poço no campo, e eis tres rebanhos d'ovelhas que estavam deitados junto a elle; porque d'aquelle poço davam de beber aos rebanhos: e havia uma grande pedra sobre a bocca do poço.
3 And all the flocks would come together there, and when the stone had been rolled away, they would give the sheep water, and put the stone back again in its place on the mouth of the water-hole.
E ajuntavam ali todos os rebanhos, e removiam a pedra de sobre a bocca do poço, e davam de beber ás ovelhas: e tornavam a pôr a pedra sobre a bocca do poço, no seu logar.
4 Then Jacob said to the herdmen, My brothers, where do you come from? And they said, From Haran.
E disse-lhes Jacob: Meus irmãos, d'onde sois? E disseram: Somos de Haran.
5 And he said to them, Have you any knowledge of Laban, the son of Nahor? And they said, We have.
E elle lhes disse: Conheceis a Labão, filho de Nachor? E disseram: Conhecemos.
6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well, and here is Rachel his daughter coming with the sheep.
Disse-lhes mais: Está elle bem? E disseram: Está bem, e eis aqui Rachel sua filha, que vem com as ovelhas.
7 Then Jacob said, The sun is still high and it is not time to get the cattle together: get water for the sheep and go and give them their food.
E elle disse: Eis que ainda é muito dia, não é tempo de ajuntar o gado; dae de beber ás ovelhas, e ide, apascentae-as.
8 And they said, We are not able to do so till all the flocks have come together and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the water-hole; then we will get water for the sheep.
E disseram: Não podemos, até que todos os rebanhos se ajuntem, e removam a pedra de sobre a bocca do poço, para que demos de beber ás ovelhas.
9 While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she took care of them.
Estando elle ainda fallando com elles, veiu Rachel com as ovelhas de seu pae: porque ella era pastora.
10 Then when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, coming with Laban's sheep, he came near, and rolling the stone away from the mouth of the hole, he got water for Laban's flock.
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 bocca do poço, e deu de beber ás ovelhas de Labão, irmão de sua mãe.
11 And weeping for joy, Jacob gave Rachel a kiss.
E Jacob beijou a Rachel, e levantou a sua voz, e chorou.
12 And Rachel, hearing from Jacob that he was her father's relation and that he was the son of Rebekah, went running to give her father news of it.
E Jacob annunciou a Rachel que era irmão de seu pae, e que era filho de Rebecca: então ella correu, e o annunciou a seu pae.
13 And Laban, hearing news of Jacob, his sister's son, came running, and took Jacob in his arms, and kissing him, made him come into his house. And Jacob gave him news of everything.
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 á sua casa: e contou elle a Labão todas estas coisas.
14 And Laban said to him, Truly, you are my bone and my flesh. And he kept Jacob with him for the space of a month.
Então Labão disse-lhe: Verdadeiramente és tu o meu osso e a minha carne. E ficou com elle um mez inteiro.
15 Then Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother are you to be my servant for nothing? say now, what is your payment to be?
Depois disse Labão a Jacob: Porque tu és meu irmão, has de servir-me de graça? declara-me qual será o teu salario.
16 Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the older 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 And Leah's eyes were clouded, but Rachel was fair in face and form.
Leah porém tinha olhos tenros, mas Rachel era de formoso semblante e formosa á vista.
18 And Jacob was in love with Rachel; and he said, I will be your servant seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.
E Jacob amava a Rachel, e disse: Sete annos te servirei por Rachel, tua filha menor.
19 And Laban said, It is better for you to have her than another man: go on living here with me.
Então disse Labão: Melhor é que eu t'a dê, do que eu a dê a outro varão: fica commigo.
20 And Jacob did seven years' work for Rachel; and because of his love for her it seemed to him only a very little time.
Assim serviu Jacob sete annos por Rachel; e foram aos seus olhos como poucos dias, pelo muito que a amava.
21 Then Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife so that I may have her, for the days are ended.
E disse Jacob a Labão: Dá-me minha mulher, porque meus dias são cumpridos, para que eu entre a ella.
22 And Laban got together all the men of the place and gave a feast.
Então ajuntou Labão a todos os varões d'aquelle logar, e fez um banquete.
23 And in the evening he took Leah, his daughter, and gave her to him, and he went in to her.
E aconteceu, á tarde, que tomou Leah sua filha, e trouxe-lh'a: e entrou a ella.
24 And Laban gave Zilpah, his servant-girl, to Leah, to be her waiting-woman.
E Labão deu sua serva Zilpah a Leah sua filha por serva.
25 And in the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What have you done to me? was I not working for you so that I might have Rachel? why have you been false to 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 And Laban said, In our country we do not let the younger daughter be married before the older.
E disse Labão: Não se faz assim no nosso logar, que a menor se dê antes da primogenita.
27 Let the week of the bride-feast come to its end and then we will give you the other in addition, if you will be my servant for another seven years.
Cumpre a semana d'esta; então te daremos tambem a outra, pelo serviço que ainda outros sete annos servires commigo.
28 And Jacob did so; and when the week was ended, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel for his wife.
E Jacob fez assim: e cumpriu a semana d'esta: então lhe deu por mulher Rachel sua filha.
29 And Laban gave Rachel his servant-girl Bilhah to be her waiting-woman.
E Labão deu sua serva Bilha por serva a Rachel, sua filha.
30 Then Jacob took Rachel as his wife, and his love for her was greater than his love for Leah; and he went on working for Laban for another seven years.
E entrou tambem a Rachel, e amou tambem a Rachel mais do que a Leah; e serviu com elle ainda outros sete annos.
31 Now the Lord, seeing that Leah was not loved, gave her a child; while Rachel had no children.
Vendo pois o Senhor que Leah era aborrecida, abriu a sua madre; porém Rachel era esteril.
32 And Leah was with child, and gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name Reuben: for she said, The Lord has seen my sorrow; now my husband will have love for me.
E concebeu Leah, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Ruben, porque disse: Porque o Senhor attendeu á minha afflicção, por isso agora me amará o meu marido.
33 Then she became with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Because it has come to the Lord's ears that I am not loved, he has given me this son in addition: and she gave him the name Simeon.
E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Porquanto o Senhor ouviu que eu era aborrecida, me deu tambem este; e chamou o seu nome Simeão.
34 And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Now at last my husband will be united to me, because I have given him three sons: so he was named Levi.
E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Agora esta vez se ajuntará meu marido commigo, porque tres filhos lhe tenho parido: por isso chamou o seu nome Levi.
35 And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son: and she said, This time I will give praise to the Lord: so he was named Judah; after this she had no more children for a time.
E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Esta vez louvarei ao Senhor. Por isso chamou o seu nome Judah: e cessou de parir.
