Genesis 30
1 And when Rahel saw that she bare Iaakob no children, Rahel enuied her sister, and said vnto Iaakob, Giue me children, or els I dye.
辣黑耳見自己沒有給雅各伯生子，就嫉妒姐姐，對雅各伯說：「你要給我孩子；不然，我就死啦! 」
2 Then Iaakobs anger was kindled against Rahel, and he sayde, Am I in Gods steade, which hath withholden from thee the fruite of the wombe?
雅各伯對辣黑耳生氣說：「不肯使你懷孕的是天主，難道我能替他作主﹖」
3 And she said, Behold my maide Bilhah, goe in to her, and she shall beare vpon my knees, and I shall haue children also by her.
辣黑耳回答說：「這裏有我的婢女彼耳哈，你親近她，叫她在我膝下生子，使我能由她得子。」
4 Then shee gaue him Bilhah her mayde to wife, and Iaakob went in to her.
辣黑耳就將自己的婢女彼耳哈給了雅各伯作妾；雅各伯親近了她，
5 So Bilhah conceiued and bare Iaakob a sonne.
她遂懷孕，給雅各伯生了一子。
6 Then said Rahel, God hath giuen sentence on my side, and hath also heard my voyce, and hath giuen mee a sonne: therefore called shee his name, Dan.
辣黑耳就說：「天主對我公道，俯聽了我的哀聲，給了我一子。」為此給他起名叫丹。
7 And Bilhah Rahels maide coceiued againe, and bare Iaakob the second sonne.
辣黑耳的婢女彼耳哈又懷孕，給雅各伯生了第二個兒子。
8 Then Rahel said, with excellent wrestlings haue I wrestled with my sister, and haue gotten the vpper hande: and shee called his name, Naphtali.
辣黑耳就說：「我以天大的力量與我姐姐相爭，得到勝利了。」便給他起名叫納斐塔里。
9 And when Leah saw that she had left bearing, shee tooke Zilpah her mayde, and gaue her Iaakob to wife.
肋阿見自己停止生育，也將自己的婢女齊耳帕給了雅各伯作妾。
10 And Zilpah Leahs mayde bare Iaakob a sonne.
肋阿的婢女齊耳帕給雅各伯生了一子。
11 Then sayd Leah, A companie commeth: and she called his name, Gad.
肋阿遂說：「好幸運! 」就給他起名叫加得。
12 Againe Zilpah Leahs mayde bare Iaakob another sonne.
肋阿的婢女齊耳帕給雅各伯又生了第二個兒子。
13 Then sayde Leah, Ah, blessed am I, for the daughters will blesse me. and she called his name, Asher.
肋阿遂說：「我真有福! 女人都要以為我有福。」就給他起名叫阿協爾。
14 Nowe Reuben went in the dayes of the wheateharuest, and founde mandrakes in the fielde and brought them vnto his mother Leah. Then sayde Rahel to Leah, Giue me, I pray thee, of thy sonnes mandrakes.
到了割麥的時節，勒烏本出去，在田間尋得了一些曼陀羅，帶回來給了他母親肋阿。辣黑耳對肋阿說：「請你將你兒子得的曼陀羅給我一些。」
15 But shee answered her, Is it a small matter for thee to take mine husband, except thou take my sonnes mandrakes also? Then sayde Rahel, Therefore he shall sleepe with thee this night for thy sonnes mandrakes.
肋阿回答說：「你奪去了我的丈夫還不夠；你還想奪去我兒的曼陀羅麼﹖」辣黑耳說：「好罷! 今夜就讓他與你同睡，為交換你兒子的曼陀羅。」
16 And Iaakob came from the fielde in the euening, and Leah went out to meete him, and sayde, Come in to mee, for I haue bought and payed for thee with my sonnes mandrakes: and he slept with her that night.
到了晚上雅各伯由田間回來，肋阿就跑出去迎接他說：「你該來我這裏，因為我用我兒子的曼陀羅雇了你。」那夜雅各伯便與她同睡。
17 And God heard Leah and shee conceiued, and bare vnto Iaakob the fift sonne.
天主俯允了肋阿，她又懷孕，給雅各伯生了第五個兒子。
18 Then said Leah, God hath giuen me my reward, because I gaue my mayde to my husband, and she called his name Issachar.
肋阿說：「天主給了我報酬，因為我將我的婢女給了我的丈夫。」便給他起名叫依撒加爾。
19 After, Leah conceiued againe, and bare Iaakob the sixt sonne.
肋阿又懷孕，給雅各伯生了第六個兒子。
20 Then Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowrie: nowe will mine husband dwell with me, because I haue borne him sixe sonnes: and she called his name Zebulun.
肋阿說：「天主給了我一個很好的禮物；這一回我的丈夫要與我同居了，因為我給他生了六個兒子。」便給他起名叫則步隆。
21 After that, shee bare a daughter, and shee called her name Dinah.
後來她生了一個女兒，給她起名叫狄納。
22 And God remembred Rahel, and God heard her, and opened her wombe.
天主想起了辣黑耳，垂允了她，開了她的子宮，
23 So she conceiued and bare a sonne, and said, God hath taken away my rebuke.
她遂懷孕，生了一個兒子，說：「天主拭去了我的恥辱。」
24 And shee called his name Ioseph, saying, The Lord wil giue me yet another sonne.
她給他起名叫若瑟說：「願上主再給我添子。」
25 And assoone as Rahel had borne Ioseph, Iaakob said to Laban, Sende me away that I may go vnto my place and to my countrey.
辣黑耳生了若瑟以後，雅各伯對拉班說：「請讓我回到我的本鄉故土!
26 Giue me my wiues and my children, for whom I haue serued thee, and let me go: for thou knowest what seruice I haue done thee.
請你將我服事你所得的妻子兒女交給我，讓我回去；你知道我怎樣服事了你。」
27 To whom Laban answered, If I haue nowe found fauour in thy sight tarie: I haue perceiued that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake.
拉班對他說：「如果我在你眼中得寵，請你住下；我覺察出，上主祝福我，是為了你的原故。」
28 Also he said, Appoynt vnto me thy wages, and I will giue it thee.
繼而說：「請規定你的工價，我必付給你。」
29 But he sayd vnto him, Thou knowest, what seruice I haue done thee, and in what taking thy cattell hath bene vnder me.
雅各伯對他說：「你知道，我是怎樣服事了你；你的牲畜跟著我是怎樣的情形。
30 For the litle, that thou haddest before I came, is increased into a multitude: and the Lord hath blessed thee by my comming: but nowe when shall I trauell for mine owne house also?
我未來之前，你所有的是那麼少，現在增加了那麼多；我一來，上主就祝福了你。但是，我幾時也能為我興家立業呢﹖」
31 Then he saide, What shall I giue thee? And Iaakob answered, Thou shalt giue mee nothing at all: if thou wilt doe this thing for mee, I will returne, feede, and keepe thy sheepe.
拉班問說：「我該給你什麼﹖」雅各伯答說：「你什麼也不必給我，只要你應承我這件事，我就仍牧放照顧你的羊群：
32 I wil passe through all thy flockes this day, and separate from them all the sheepe with litle spots and great spots, and al blacke lambes among the sheepe, and the great spotted, and litle spotted among the goates: and it shalbe my wages.
你今天走遍你的羊群，將其中凡有斑點或黑點的，即綿羊群中有黑色的，山羊群中有黑點或斑點的，都挑出來，當作我的工價。
33 So shall my righteousnesse answere for me hereafter, when it shall come for my rewarde before thy face, and euery one that hath not litle or great spots among the goates, and blacke among the sheepe, the same shalbe theft with me.
後來任何一天，你來察看我的工價時，我好對你證明我的公正。山羊中凡是沒有斑點或黑點的，綿羊中凡是不黑的，都算是偷來的。」
34 Then Laban sayde, Goe to, woulde God it might be according to thy saying.
拉班回答說：「好，就照你的話辦罷!」
35 Therefore he tooke out the same day the hee goates that were partie coloured and with great spots, and all the shee goates with litle and great spots, and all that had white in them, and all the blacke among the sheepe, and put them in the keeping of his sonnes.
當天拉班就將有條紋有斑點的公山羊，凡有白紋，或斑點和黑點的母山羊，並黑色的綿羊都挑出來，交在自己兒子們手中；
36 And hee set three dayes iourney betweene himselfe and Iaakob. And Iaakob kept the rest of Labans sheepe.
又使雅各伯與自己相距三日的路程。雅各伯便牧放拉班其餘的羊群。
37 Then Iaakob tooke rods of greene popular, and of hasell, and of the chesnut tree, and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appeare in the rods.
雅各伯拿了楊樹、杏樹和楓樹的嫩枝，將皮剝成一條一條的白紋，使樹枝的光白露出；
38 Then he put the rods, which he had pilled, in the gutters and watering troughes, when the sheepe came to drink, before the sheepe. (for they were in heate, when they came to drinke)
然後將剝去皮的枝條，插在水溝和水漕裏，羊群前來喝水時，正與羊群相對。羊群前來喝水時，就彼此相配。
39 And the sheepe were in heate before the rods, and afterward brought forth yong of partie colour, and with small and great spots.
羊群對著枝條相配，就生出了有條紋，有斑點和黑點的小羊。
40 And Iaakob parted these lambes, and turned the faces of the flocke towardes these lambes partie coloured and all maner of blacke, among the sheepe of Laban: so hee put his owne flockes by themselues, and put them not with Labans flocke.
雅各伯將這些羔羊分開，將這些羊放在拉班羊群中有條紋和有黑點的羊前；這樣他為自己另組羊群，不將牠們放在拉班的羊群中。
41 And in euery ramming time of the stronger sheepe, Iaakob layde the rods before the eyes of the sheepe in the gutters, that they might conceiue before the rods.
到了肥壯的羊要配合時，雅各伯就將枝條插在水溝裏，對著羊群的眼，使羊對著枝條彼此相配。
42 But when the sheepe were feeble, hee put them not in: and so the feebler were Labans, and the stronger Iaakobs.
當羊群瘦弱時，他就不插枝條：這樣，瘦弱的都歸拉班，肥壯的都歸雅各伯。
43 So the man increased exceedingly, and had many flockes, and maide seruantes, and men seruants, and camels and asses.
為此這人越來越富，擁有許多羊群，婢女和奴僕，駱駝和驢子。
