Genesis 30

1 And Rachel having perceived that she bore Jacob no children, was jealous of her sister; and said to Jacob, Give me children; and if not, I shall die.

Tetapi Rahel belum juga mendapat anak. Sebab itu dia menjadi cemburu kepada kakaknya, lalu berkata kepada Yakub, "Berikanlah anak kepada saya, kalau tidak, saya akan mati."

2 And Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said to her, Am I in the place of God, who has deprived thee of the fruit of the womb?

Yakub marah kepada Rahel dan berkata, "Saya ini bukan Allah. Dialah yang membuat engkau tidak mendapat anak."

3 And Rachel said to Jacob, Behold my handmaid Balla, go in to her, and she shall bear upon my knees, and I also shall have children by her.

Lalu kata Rahel, "Ini hamba saya Bilha; tidurlah dengan dia supaya ia melahirkan. Dengan demikian saya bisa menjadi ibu melalui dia."

4 And she gave him Balla her maid, for a wife to him; and Jacob went in to her.

Lalu diberikannya Bilha kepada suaminya, dan Yakub bersetubuh dengan hamba itu.

5 And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

Bilha mengandung lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.

6 And Rachel said, God has given judgment for me, and hearkened to my voice, and has given me a son; therefore she called his name, Dan.

Rahel berkata, "Allah telah mengadili untuk kepentingan saya. Didengarnya doaku dan diberikannya seorang anak laki-laki kepada saya." Lalu dinamakannya anak itu Dan.

7 And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived yet again, and bore a second son to Jacob.

Bilha mengandung lagi dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.

8 And Rachel said, God has helped me, and I contended with my sister and prevailed; and she called his name, Nephthalim.

Kata Rahel, "Saya telah berjuang mati-matian melawan kakak saya, dan saya menang," karena itu dinamakannya anak itu Naftali.

9 And Lea saw that she ceased from bearing, and she took Zelpha her maid, and gave her to Jacob for a wife; and he went in to her.

Ketika Lea menyadari bahwa ia tidak bisa mendapat anak lagi, diberikannya hambanya, yaitu Zilpa, kepada Yakub untuk menjadi istri.

10 And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

Zilpa melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.

11 And Lea said, [It is] happily: and she called his name, Gad.

Lea berkata, "Saya beruntung," lalu dinamakannya anak itu Gad.

12 And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived yet again, and bore Jacob a second son.

Zilpa melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki lagi,

13 And Lea said, I am blessed, for the women will pronounce me blessed; and she called his name, Aser.

dan Lea berkata, "Alangkah berbahagia saya! Sekarang semua wanita akan mengatakan saya berbahagia." Karena itu dinamakannya anak itu Asyer.

14 And Ruben went in the day of barley-harvest, and found apples of mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Lea; and Rachel said to Lea her sister, Give me of thy son's mandrakes.

Pada musim panen gandum, Ruben pergi ke padang dan ditemukannya di sana sejenis tanaman obat, lalu dibawanya kepada Lea, ibunya. Rahel berkata kepada Lea, "Berikanlah kepada saya sedikit dari tanaman obat yang ditemukan anakmu itu."

15 And Lea said, [Is it] not enough for thee that thou hast taken my husband, wilt thou also take my son's mandrakes? And Rachel said, Not so: let him lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.

Jawab Lea, "Belum cukupkah engkau mengambil suami saya? Sekarang engkau malahan mencoba pula mengambil tanaman obat yang ditemukan anak saya." Kata Rahel, "Jika engkau mau memberikan tanaman obat anakmu itu kepada saya, engkau boleh tidur dengan Yakub malam ini."

16 And Jacob came in out of the field at even; and Lea went forth to meet him, and said, Thou shalt come in to me this day, for I have hired thee for my son's mandrakes; and he lay with her that night.

Ketika Yakub pulang ke rumah dari padang sore itu, Lea menyambutnya sambil berkata, "Tidurlah bersama saya malam ini karena saya telah membayar untuk itu dengan tanaman obat dari anak saya." Lalu Yakub bersetubuh dengan dia pada malam itu.

17 And God hearkened to Lea, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

Allah mengabulkan doa Lea, dan ia mengandung lalu melahirkan anak yang kelima.

18 And Lea said, God has given me my reward, because I gave my maid to my husband; and she called his name Issachar, which is, Reward.

Kata Lea, "Allah telah memberi saya upah sebab saya telah menyerahkan Zilpa kepada suami saya," karena itu dinamakannya anaknya itu Isakhar.

19 And Lea conceived again, and bore Jacob a sixth son.

Lea mengandung lagi dan melahirkan anaknya yang keenam.

20 And Lea said, God has given me a good gift in this time; my husband will choose me, for I have born him six sons: and she called his name, Zabulon.

Katanya, "Allah telah memberikan kepada saya hadiah yang indah sekali. Sekarang suami saya akan menghargai saya, sebab saya telah melahirkan enam anak laki-laki," karena itu dinamakannya anaknya itu Zebulon.

21 And after this she bore a daughter; and she called her name, Dina.

Sesudah itu Lea melahirkan seorang anak perempuan yang dinamakannya Dina.

22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and he opened her womb.

Lalu ingatlah Allah akan Rahel; Allah mengabulkan doanya dan memungkinkan dia melahirkan anak.

23 And she conceived, and bore Jacob a son; and Rachel said, God has taken away my reproach.

Maka Rahel mengandung dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Kata Rahel, "Allah telah menghilangkan kehinaan saya.

24 And she called his name Joseph, saying, Let God add to me another son.

Semoga TUHAN memberikan kepada saya anak laki-laki seorang lagi." Karena itu dinamakannya anaknya itu Yusuf.

25 And it came to pass when Rachel had born Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my land.

Sesudah Rahel melahirkan Yusuf, Yakub berkata kepada Laban, "Izinkanlah saya pulang ke negeri saya.

26 Restore my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart, for thou knowest the service wherewith I have served thee.

Biarkan saya pergi membawa kedua istri serta anak-anak saya. Mereka telah saya peroleh dengan bekerja pada Paman. Paman tahu, saya sudah bekerja keras sekali."

27 And Laban said to him, If I have found grace in thy sight, I would augur [well], for the Lord has blessed me at thy coming in.

Laban berkata kepadanya, "Dengar dulu: Saya mendapat ramalan bahwa TUHAN telah memberkati saya karena engkau.

28 Appoint me thy wages, and I will give [them].

Katakan saja berapa yang kauminta."

29 And Jacob said, Thou knowest in what things I have served thee, and how many cattle of thine are with me.

Jawab Yakub, "Paman sendiri tahu saya sudah bekerja keras sekali, dan ternak Paman bertambah banyak karena pemeliharaan saya.

30 For it was little thou hadst before my time, and it is increased to a multitude, and the Lord God has blessed thee since my coming; now then, when shall I set up also my own house?

Sebelum saya datang, harta milik Paman tidak seberapa, tetapi sekarang Paman sudah kaya. TUHAN telah memberkati Paman karena saya. Sekarang sudah waktunya saya bekerja untuk keluarga saya sendiri."

31 And Laban said to him, What shall I give thee? and Jacob said to him, Thou shalt not give me anything; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again tend thy flocks and keep them.

Kata Laban, "Jadi apa yang harus kuberikan kepadamu?" Yakub menjawab, "Tak usah Paman berikan apa-apa. Saya akan tetap memelihara ternak Paman, asal Paman setuju dengan usul saya ini:

32 Let all thy sheep pass by to-day, and separate thence every grey sheep among the rams, and every one that is speckled and spotted among the goats—[this] shall be my reward.

Izinkan saya pada hari ini berjalan di tengah-tengah segala kawanan kambing domba Paman, dan mengambil setiap anak domba yang hitam, dan juga setiap kambing muda yang belang atau berbintik-bintik. Itu saja upah yang saya inginkan.

33 And my righteousness shall answer for me on the morrow, for it is my reward before thee: whatever shall not be spotted and speckled among the goats, and grey among the rams, shall be stolen with me.

Di kemudian hari dengan mudah dapat Paman ketahui apakah saya telah berlaku jujur. Bilamana Paman datang untuk memeriksa upah saya, dan melihat ada kambing yang tidak berbintik-bintik atau belang, atau domba yang tidak hitam, Paman akan tahu bahwa binatang itu telah saya curi."

34 And Laban said to him, Let it be according to thy word.

Laban menjawab, "Setuju! Kita akan melakukan apa yang kauusulkan itu!"

35 And he separated in that day the spotted and speckled he-goats, and all the spotted and speckled she-goats, and all that was grey among the rams, and every one that was white among them, and he gave them into the hand of his sons.

Tetapi pada hari itu Laban memisahkan semua kambing jantan yang loreng atau belang dan semua kambing betina yang belang, berbintik-bintik, atau yang ada noda putihnya; ia juga memisahkan semua domba yang hitam. Kemudian disuruhnya anak-anaknya mengurus binatang-binatang itu,

36 And he set a distance of a three days' journey between them and Jacob. And Jacob tended the cattle of Laban that were left behind.

lalu pergilah mereka dengan binatang-binatang itu menjauhi Yakub, jaraknya tiga hari perjalanan. Sisa dari kawanan kambing domba milik Laban dipelihara oleh Yakub.

37 And Jacob took to himself green rods of storax tree and walnut and plane-tree; and Jacob peeled in them white stripes; and as he drew off the green, the white stripe which he had made appeared alternate on the rods.

Kemudian Yakub mengambil dahan-dahan hijau dari pohon hawar, pohon badam dan pohon berangan, dan mengupas sebagian dari kulitnya sehingga menjadi belang-belang.

38 And he laid the rods which he had peeled, in the hollows of the watering-troughs, that whensoever the cattle should come to drink, as they should have come to drink before the rods, the cattle might conceive at the rods.

Diletakkannya dahan-dahan itu di depan kawanan kambing itu, di dalam tempat minumnya, karena binatang-binatang itu suka kawin waktu hendak minum.

39 So the cattle conceived at the rods, and the cattle brought forth [young] speckled, and streaked and spotted with ash-coloured [spots].

Jadi jika kambing-kambing itu kawin di depan dahan-dahan itu, anaknya loreng atau belang atau berbintik-bintik.

40 And Jacob separated the lambs, and set before the sheep a speckled ram, and every variegated one among the lambs, and he separated flocks for himself alone, and did not mingle them with the sheep of Laban.

Kemudian Yakub mengambil domba-domba lalu menghadapkannya ke arah kambing-kambing yang loreng dan hitam. Dengan cara itu ia memperoleh kawanan binatangnya sendiri dan memisahkannya dari kawanan binatang Laban.

41 And it came to pass in the time wherein the cattle became pregnant, conceiving in the belly, Jacob put the rods before the cattle in the troughs, that they might conceive by the rods.

Apabila binatang-binatang yang kuat sedang kawin, Yakub meletakkan dahan-dahan yang dikupasnya itu di depan mereka, di dalam tempat minumnya.

42 But he did not put them in [indiscriminately] whenever the cattle happened to bring forth, but the unmarked ones were Laban's, and the marked ones were Jacob's.

Tetapi dahan-dahan itu tidak diletakkannya di depan binatang-binatang yang lemah. Jadi, semua binatang yang putih itu lemah, dan itulah milik Laban, sedangkan semua binatang yang hitam, belang dan berbintik-bintik itu kuat, dan itulah milik Yakub.

43 And the man became very rich, and he had many cattle, and oxen, and servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses.

Dengan demikian Yakub menjadi kaya raya. Dia mempunyai banyak kawanan kambing domba, unta, keledai dan hamba-hamba.
