Genesis 30
1 And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said to Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
cernens autem Rahel quod infecunda esset invidit sorori et ait marito suo da mihi liberos alioquin moriar
2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, Am I in God's stead, who has withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
cui iratus respondit Iacob num pro Deo ego sum qui privavit te fructu ventris tui
3 And she said, Behold, there is my maid, Bilhah: go in to her, in order that she may bear on my knees, and I may also be built up by her.
at illa habeo inquit famulam Balam ingredere ad eam ut pariat super genua mea et habeam ex ea filios
4 And she gave him Bilhah her maidservant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
deditque illi Balam in coniugium quae
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
ingresso ad se viro concepit et peperit filium
6 And Rachel said, God has done me justice, and has also heard my voice, and given me a son; therefore she called his name Dan.
dixitque Rahel iudicavit mihi Dominus et exaudivit vocem meam dans mihi filium et idcirco appellavit nomen illius Dan
7 And Bilhah Rachel's maidservant again conceived, and bore Jacob a second son.
rursumque Bala concipiens peperit alterum
8 And Rachel said, Wrestlings of God have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed; and she called his name Naphtali.
pro quo ait Rahel conparavit me Deus cum sorore mea et invalui vocavitque eum Nepthalim
9 And when Leah saw that she had ceased to bear, she took Zilpah her maidservant and gave her to Jacob as wife.
sentiens Lia quod parere desisset Zelpham ancillam suam marito tradidit
10 And Zilpah Leah's maidservant bore Jacob a son.
qua post conceptum edente filium
11 And Leah said, Fortunately! and she called his name Gad.
dixit feliciter et idcirco vocavit nomen eius Gad
12 And Zilpah Leah's maidservant bore Jacob a second son.
peperit quoque Zelpha alterum
13 And Leah said, Happy am I; for the daughters will call me blessed! and she called his name Asher.
dixitque Lia hoc pro beatitudine mea beatam quippe me dicent mulieres propterea appellavit eum Aser
14 And Reuben went out in the days of wheat-harvest, and found mandrakes in the fields; and he brought them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
egressus autem Ruben tempore messis triticeae in agro repperit mandragoras quos matri Liae detulit dixitque Rahel da mihi partem de mandragoris filii tui
15 And she said to her, Is it [too] little that thou hast taken my husband, that thou wilt take my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.
illa respondit parumne tibi videtur quod praeripueris maritum mihi nisi etiam mandragoras filii mei tuleris ait Rahel dormiat tecum hac nocte pro mandragoris filii tui
16 And when Jacob came from the fields in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in to me, for indeed I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
redeuntique ad vesperam de agro Iacob egressa est in occursum Lia et ad me inquit intrabis quia mercede conduxi te pro mandragoris filii mei dormivit cum ea nocte illa
17 And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
et exaudivit Deus preces eius concepitque et peperit filium quintum
18 And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my maidservant to my husband; and she called his name Issachar.
et ait dedit Deus mercedem mihi quia dedi ancillam meam viro meo appellavitque nomen illius Isachar
19 And Leah again conceived, and bore Jacob a sixth son;
rursum Lia concipiens peperit sextum filium
20 and Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry; this time will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons. And she called his name Zebulun.
et ait ditavit me Deus dote bona etiam hac vice mecum erit maritus meus eo quod genuerim ei sex filios et idcirco appellavit nomen eius Zabulon
21 And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
post quem peperit filiam nomine Dinam
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
recordatus quoque Dominus Rahelis exaudivit eam et aperuit vulvam illius
23 And she conceived, and bore a son, and said, God has taken away my reproach.
quae concepit et peperit filium dicens abstulit Deus obprobrium meum
24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, Jehovah will add to me another son.
et vocavit nomen illius Ioseph dicens addat mihi Dominus filium alterum
25 And it came to pass when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my country.
nato autem Ioseph dixit Iacob socero suo dimitte me ut revertar in patriam et ad terram meam
26 Give [me] my wives for whom I have served thee, and my children; that I may go away, for thou knowest my service which I have served thee.
da mihi uxores et liberos meos pro quibus servivi tibi ut abeam tu nosti servitutem qua servivi tibi
27 And Laban said to him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes — I have discovered that Jehovah has blessed me for thy sake.
ait ei Laban inveniam gratiam in conspectu tuo experimento didici quod benedixerit mihi Deus propter te
28 And he said, Appoint to me thy wages, and I will give it.
constitue mercedem tuam quam dem tibi
29 And he said to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and what thy cattle has become with me.
at ille respondit tu nosti quomodo servierim tibi et quanta in manibus meis fuerit possessio tua
30 For it was little that thou hadst before me, and it is increased to a multitude, and Jehovah has blessed thee from the time I came; and now, when shall I also provide for my house?
modicum habuisti antequam venirem et nunc dives effectus es benedixitque tibi Dominus ad introitum meum iustum est igitur ut aliquando provideam etiam domui meae
31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me anything. If thou doest this for me, I will again feed [and] keep thy flock:
dixitque Laban quid dabo tibi at ille ait nihil volo sed si feceris quod postulo iterum pascam et custodiam pecora tua
32 I will pass through all thy flock to-day, to remove thence all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the brown lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and [that] shall be my hire.
gyra omnes greges tuos et separa cunctas oves varias et sparso vellere et quodcumque furvum et maculosum variumque fuerit tam in ovibus quam in capris erit merces mea
33 And my righteousness shall answer for me hereafter, when thou comest about my hire, before thy face: all that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs, let that be stolen with me.
respondebitque mihi cras iustitia mea quando placiti tempus advenerit coram te et omnia quae non fuerint varia et maculosa et furva tam in ovibus quam in capris furti me arguent
34 And Laban said, Well, let it be according to thy word.
dixit Laban gratum habeo quod petis
35 And he removed that day the he-goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the brown among the lambs, and gave [them] into the hand of his sons.
et separavit in die illo capras et oves hircos et arietes varios atque maculosos cunctum autem gregem unicolorem id est albi et nigri velleris tradidit in manu filiorum suorum
36 And he put three days' journey between himself and Jacob. And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flock.
et posuit spatium itineris inter se et generum dierum trium qui pascebat reliquos greges eius
37 And Jacob took fresh rods of white poplar, almond-tree, and maple; and peeled off white stripes in them, uncovering the white which was on the rods.
tollens ergo Iacob virgas populeas virides et amigdalinas et ex platanis ex parte decorticavit eas detractisque corticibus in his quae spoliata fuerant candor apparuit illa vero quae integra erant viridia permanserunt atque in hunc modum color effectus est varius
38 And he set the rods which he had peeled before the flock, in the troughs at the watering-places where the flock came to drink, and they were ardent when they came to drink.
posuitque eas in canalibus ubi effundebatur aqua ut cum venissent greges ad bibendum ante oculos haberent virgas et in aspectu earum conciperent
39 And the flock was ardent before the rods; and the flock brought forth ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
factumque est ut in ipso calore coitus oves intuerentur virgas et parerent maculosa et varia et diverso colore respersa
40 And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flock toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he made himself separate flocks, and did not put them with Laban's flock.
divisitque gregem Iacob et posuit virgas ante oculos arietum erant autem alba quaeque et nigra Laban cetera vero Iacob separatis inter se gregibus
41 And it came to pass whensoever the strong cattle were ardent, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might become ardent among the rods;
igitur quando primo tempore ascendebantur oves ponebat Iacob virgas in canalibus aquarum ante oculos arietum et ovium ut in earum contemplatione conciperent
42 but when the sheep were feeble, he put [them] not in; so the feeble were Laban's, and the strong Jacob's.
quando vero serotina admissura erat et conceptus extremus non ponebat eas factaque sunt ea quae erant serotina Laban et quae primi temporis Iacob
43 And the man increased very, very much, and had much cattle, and bondwomen, and bondmen, and camels, and asses.
ditatusque est homo ultra modum et habuit greges multos ancillas et servos camelos et asinos
