Genesis 29
1 And Jacob started and went to the land of the east to Laban, the son of Bathuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebecca, mother of Jacob and Esau.
Então poz-se Jacob a pé, e foi-se á terra dos filhos de oriente;
2 And he looks, and behold! a well in the plain; and there were there three flocks of sheep resting at it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, but there was a great stone at the mouth of the well.
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 there were all the flocks gathered, and they used to roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the flocks, and set the stone again in its place on the mouth of the well.
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 And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are ye? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
E disse-lhes Jacob: Meus irmãos, d'onde sois? E disseram: Somos de Haran.
5 And he said to them, Know ye Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do know [him].
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 behold Rachel his daughter came 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 And Jacob said, it is yet high day, it is not yet time that the flocks be gathered together; water ye the flocks, and depart and feed them.
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 shall not be able, until all the shepherds be gathered together, and they shall roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, then we will water the flocks.
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 yet speaking to them, behold, Rachel the daughter of Laban came with her father's sheep, for she fed the sheep of her father.
Estando elle ainda fallando com elles, veiu Rachel com as ovelhas de seu pae: porque ella era pastora.
10 And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob came and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep 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 bocca do poço, e deu de beber ás ovelhas de Labão, irmão de sua mãe.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and wept.
E Jacob beijou a Rachel, e levantou a sua voz, e chorou.
12 And he told Rachel that he was the near relative of her father, and the son of Rebecca; and she ran and reported to her father according to these words.
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 it came to pass when Laban heard the name of Jacob, his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him, and brought him into his house; and he told Laban all these sayings.
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, Thou art of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
Então Labão disse-lhe: Verdadeiramente és tu o meu osso e a minha carne. E ficou com elle um mez inteiro.
15 And Laban said to Jacob, Surely thou shalt not serve me for nothing, because thou art my brother; tell me what thy reward is 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 elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
E Labão tinha duas filhas; o nome da mais velha era Leah, e o nome da menor Rachel.
17 And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
Leah porém tinha olhos tenros, mas Rachel era de formoso semblante e formosa á vista.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve thee seven years for thy younger daughter Rachel.
E Jacob amava a Rachel, e disse: Sete annos te servirei por Rachel, tua filha menor.
19 And Laban said to him, [It is] better that I should give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man; dwell 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 served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.
Assim serviu Jacob sete annos por Rachel; e foram aos seus olhos como poucos dias, pelo muito que a amava.
21 And 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 ella.
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a marriage-feast.
Então ajuntou Labão a todos os varões d'aquelle logar, e fez um banquete.
23 And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob 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 to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
E Labão deu sua serva Zilpah a Leah sua filha por serva.
25 And it was morning, and behold it was Lea; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this that thou hast done to me? did I not serve thee for Rachel? and wherefore hast thou 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 And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
E disse Labão: Não se faz assim no nosso logar, que a menor se dê antes da primogenita.
27 Fulfil then her sevens, and I will give to thee her also in return for thy labour, which thou labourest with me, yet seven other 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 fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
E Jacob fez assim: e cumpriu a semana d'esta: então lhe deu por mulher Rachel sua filha.
29 And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
E Labão deu sua serva Bilha por serva a Rachel, sua filha.
30 And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other 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 And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
Vendo pois o Senhor que Leah era aborrecida, abriu a sua madre; porém Rachel era esteril.
32 And Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then my husband will love 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 And she conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to me this one also; and she called his 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 conceived yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; therefore she called his name, 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 having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased bearing.
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.
