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.
拉結見自己不給雅各生子，就嫉妒她姊姊，對雅各說：「你給我孩子，不然我就死了。」
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?
雅各向拉結生氣，說：「叫你不生育的是上帝，我豈能代替他作主呢？」
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.
拉結說：「有我的使女辟拉在這裏，你可以與她同房，使她生子在我膝下，我便因她也得孩子。」
4 Then shee gaue him Bilhah her mayde to wife, and Iaakob went in to her.
拉結就把她的使女辟拉給丈夫為妾；雅各便與她同房，
5 So Bilhah conceiued and bare Iaakob a sonne.
辟拉就懷孕，給雅各生了一個兒子。
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.
拉結說：「上帝伸了我的冤，也聽了我的聲音，賜我一個兒子」，因此給他起名叫但。
7 And Bilhah Rahels maide coceiued againe, and bare Iaakob the second sonne.
拉結的使女辟拉又懷孕，給雅各生了第二個兒子。
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.
拉結說：「我與我姊姊大大相爭，並且得勝」，於是給他起名叫拿弗他利。
9 And when Leah saw that she had left bearing, shee tooke Zilpah her mayde, and gaue her Iaakob to wife.
利亞見自己停了生育，就把使女悉帕給雅各為妾。
10 And Zilpah Leahs mayde bare Iaakob a sonne.
利亞的使女悉帕給雅各生了一個兒子。
11 Then sayd Leah, A companie commeth: and she called his name, Gad.
利亞說：「萬幸！」於是給他起名叫迦得 。
12 Againe Zilpah Leahs mayde bare Iaakob another sonne.
利亞的使女悉帕又給雅各生了第二個兒子。
13 Then sayde Leah, Ah, blessed am I, for the daughters will blesse me. and she called his name, Asher.
利亞說：「我有福啊，眾女子都要稱我是有福的」，於是給他起名叫亞設。
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.
割麥子的時候，呂便往田裏去，尋見風茄，拿來給他母親利亞。拉結對利亞說：「請你把你兒子的風茄給我些。」
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.
利亞說：「你奪了我的丈夫還算小事嗎？你又要奪我兒子的風茄嗎？」拉結說：「為你兒子的風茄，今夜他可以與你同寢。」
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，雅各從田裏回來，利亞出來迎接他，說：「你要與我同寢，因為我實在用我兒子的風茄把你雇下了。」那一夜，雅各就與她同寢。
17 And God heard Leah and shee conceiued, and bare vnto Iaakob the fift sonne.
上帝應允了利亞，她就懷孕，給雅各生了第五個兒子。
18 Then said Leah, God hath giuen me my reward, because I gaue my mayde to my husband, and she called his name Issachar.
利亞說：「上帝給了我價值，因為我把使女給了我丈夫」，於是給他起名叫以薩迦。
19 After, Leah conceiued againe, and bare Iaakob the sixt sonne.
利亞又懷孕，給雅各生了第六個兒子。
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.
利亞說：「上帝賜我厚賞；我丈夫必與我同住，因我給他生了六個兒子」，於是給他起名西布倫。
21 After that, shee bare a daughter, and shee called her name Dinah.
後來又生了一個女兒，給她起名叫底拿。
22 And God remembred Rahel, and God heard her, and opened her wombe.
上帝顧念拉結，應允了她，使她能生育。
23 So she conceiued and bare a sonne, and said, God hath taken away my rebuke.
拉結懷孕生子，說：「上帝除去了我的羞恥」，
24 And shee called his name Ioseph, saying, The Lord wil giue me yet another sonne.
就給他起名叫約瑟，意思說：「願耶和華再增添我一個兒子。」
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.
拉結生約瑟之後，雅各對拉班說：「請打發我走，叫我回到我本鄉本土去。
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.
請你把我服事你所得的妻子和兒女給我，讓我走；我怎樣服事你，你都知道。」
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：「我若在你眼前蒙恩，請你仍與我同住，因為我已算定，耶和華賜福與我是為你的緣故」；
28 Also he said, Appoynt vnto me thy wages, and I will giue it thee.
又說：「請你定你的工價，我就給你。」
29 But he sayd vnto him, Thou knowest, what seruice I haue done thee, and in what taking thy cattell hath bene vnder me.
雅各對他說：「我怎樣服事你，你的牲畜在我手裏怎樣，是你知道的。
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?
我未來之先，你所有的很少，現今卻發大眾多，耶和華隨我的腳步賜福與你。如今，我甚麼時候才為自己興家立業呢？」
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.
拉班說：「我當給你甚麼呢？」雅各說：「甚麼你也不必給我，只有一件事，你若應承，我便仍舊牧放你的羊群。
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.
今天我要走遍你的羊群，把綿羊中凡有點的、有斑的，和黑色的，並山羊中凡有斑的、有點的，都挑出來；將來這一等的就算我的工價。
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.
以後你來查看我的工價，凡在我手裏的山羊不是有點有斑的，綿羊不是黑色的，那就算是我偷的；這樣便可證出我的公義來。」
34 Then Laban sayde, Goe to, woulde God it might be according to thy saying.
拉班說：「好啊！我情願照着你的話行。」
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.
當日，拉班把有紋的、有斑的公山羊，有點的、有斑的、有雜白紋的母山羊，並黑色的綿羊，都挑出來，交在他兒子們的手下，
36 And hee set three dayes iourney betweene himselfe and Iaakob. And Iaakob kept the rest of Labans sheepe.
又使自己和雅各相離三天的路程。雅各就牧養拉班其餘的羊。
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.
雅各拿楊樹、杏樹、楓樹的嫩枝，將皮剝成白紋，使枝子露出白的來，
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)
將剝了皮的枝子，對着羊群，插在飲羊的水溝裏和水槽裏，羊來喝的時候，牝牡配合。
39 And the sheepe were in heate before the rods, and afterward brought forth yong of partie colour, and with small and great spots.
羊對着枝子配合，就生下有紋的、有點的、有斑的來。
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.
雅各把羊羔分出來，使拉班的羊與這有紋和黑色的羊相對，把自己的羊另放一處，不叫他和拉班的羊混雜。
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.
到羊群肥壯配合的時候，雅各就把枝子插在水溝裏，使羊對着枝子配合。
42 But when the sheepe were feeble, hee put them not in: and so the feebler were Labans, and the stronger Iaakobs.
只是到羊瘦弱配合的時候就不插枝子。這樣，瘦弱的就歸拉班，肥壯的就歸雅各。
43 So the man increased exceedingly, and had many flockes, and maide seruantes, and men seruants, and camels and asses.
於是雅各極其發大，得了許多的羊群、僕婢、駱駝，和驢。
