Genesis 30
1 AND when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
E vendo Raquel que não dava filhos a Jacó, teve inveja de sua irmã, e dizia a Jacó: Dá-me filhos, ou senão, morro.
2 And Jacob’s anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God’s stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
E Jacó se irritava contra Raquel, e dizia: Estou eu em lugar de Deus, que te impediu o fruto de teu ventre?
3 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
E ela disse: Eis aqui minha serva Bila; deita-te com ela, e dará à luz sobre meus joelhos, e eu também terei filhos por meio dela.
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
Assim lhe deu a Bila sua serva por mulher; e Jacó se deitou com ela.
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
E concebeu Bila, e deu à luz a Jacó um filho.
6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
E disse Raquel: Julgou-me Deus, e também ouviu minha voz, e deu-me um filho. Portanto chamou seu nome Dã.
7 And Bilhah Rachel’s maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
E concebeu outra vez Bila, a serva de Raquel, e deu à luz o segundo filho a Jacó.
8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
E disse Raquel: Com lutas de Deus disputei com minha irmã, e venci. E chamou seu nome Naftali.
9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
E vendo Lia que havia deixado de dar à luz, tomou a Zilpa sua serva, e deu-a a Jacó por mulher.
10 And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob a son.
E Zilpa, serva de Lia, deu à luz a Jacó um filho.
11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
E disse Lia: Veio a boa sorte. E chamou seu nome Gade.
12 And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob a second son.
E Zilpa, a sirva de Lia, deu à luz outro filho a Jacó.
13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
E disse Lia: Para alegria minha; porque as mulheres me chamarão de feliz; e chamou seu nome Aser.
14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son’s mandrakes.
E foi Rúben em tempo da colheita dos trigos, e achou mandrágoras no campo, e trouxe-as a sua mãe Lia; e disse Raquel a Lia: Rogo-te que me dês das mandrágoras de teu filho.
15 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son’s mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son’s mandrakes.
E ela respondeu: É pouco que tenhas tomado meu marido, mas também levarás as mandrágoras de meu filho? E disse Raquel: Ele, pois, dormirá contigo esta noite pelas mandrágoras de teu filho.
16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
E quando Jacó voltava do campo à tarde, Lia saiu ao encontro dele, e lhe disse: Deitarás comigo, porque em verdade te aluguei em troca das mandrágoras de meu filho. E dormiu com ela naquela noite.
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
E ouviu Deus a Lia; e concebeu, e deu à luz a Jacó o quinto filho.
18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
E disse Lia: Deus me deu minha recompensa, porque dei minha serva a meu marido; por isso chamou seu nome Issacar.
19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
E concebeu Lia outra vez, e deu à luz o sexto filho a Jacó.
20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
E disse Lia: Deus me deu uma boa dádiva: agora meu marido morará comigo, porque lhe dei seis filhos; e chamou seu nome Zebulom.
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
E depois deu à luz uma filha, e chamou seu nome Diná.
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
E lembrou-se Deus de Raquel, e Deus a ouviu, e abriu sua madre.
23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
E concebeu, e deu à luz um filho: e disse: Deus tirou minha humilhação;
24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The Lord shall add to me another son.
E chamou seu nome José, dizendo: Acrescente-me o SENHOR outro filho.
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
E aconteceu, quando Raquel havia dado à luz a José, que Jacó disse a Labão: Permite-me ir embora, e irei a meu lugar, e à minha terra.
26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
Dá-me minhas mulheres e meus filhos, pelas quais servi contigo, e deixa-me ir; pois tu sabes os serviços que te fiz.
27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake.
E Labão lhe respondeu: Ache eu agora favor em teus olhos, e fica-te; experimentei que o SENHOR me abençoou por tua causa.
28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
E disse: Define-me teu salário, que eu o darei.
29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.
E ele respondeu: Tu sabes como te servi, e como esteve teu gado comigo;
30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
Porque pouco tinhas antes de minha vinda, e cresceu em grande número; e o SENHOR te abençoou com minha chegada: e agora quando tenho de fazer eu também por minha própria casa?
31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:
E ele disse: Que te darei? E respondeu Jacó: Não me dês nada; se fizeres por mim isto, voltarei a apascentar tuas ovelhas.
32 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
Eu passarei hoje por todas tuas ovelhas, pondo à parte todas as reses manchadas e de cor variada, e todas as reses de cor escura entre as ovelhas, e as manchadas e de cor variada entre as cabras; e isto será meu salário.
33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
Assim responderá por mim minha justiça amanhã quando me vier meu salário diante de ti: toda a que não for pintada nem manchada nas cabras e de cor escura nas ovelhas minhas, se me há de ter para furto.
34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
E disse Labão: Eis que seja como tu dizes.
35 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
Porém ele separou naquele mesmo dia os machos de bode rajados e manchados; e todas as cabras manchadas e de cor variada, e toda rês que tinha em si algo de branco, e todas as de cor escura entre as ovelhas, e as pôs em mãos de seus filhos;
36 And he set three days’ journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
E pôs três dias de caminho entre si e Jacó: e Jacó apascentava as outras ovelhas de Labão.
37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
E tomou para si Jacó varas de álamo verdes, e de aveleira, e de plátano, e descascou nelas mondaduras brancas, descobrindo assim o branco das varas.
38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
E pôs as varas que havia riscado nos bebedouros, diante do gado, nos bebedouros da água aonde vinham a beber as ovelhas, as quais se aqueciam vindo a beber.
39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
E concebiam as ovelhas diante das varas, e geravam crias listradas, pintadas e salpicadas de diversas cores.
40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban’s cattle.
E separava Jacó os cordeiros, e os punha com seu rebanho, os listradas, e tudo o que era escuro no rebanho de Labão. E punha seu rebanho à parte, e não o punha com as ovelhas de Labão.
41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
E sucedia que quantas vezes se aqueciam as fortes, Jacó punha as varas diante das ovelhas nos bebedouros, para que concebessem à vista das varas.
42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
E quando vinham as ovelhas fracas, não as punha: assim eram as fracas para Labão, e as fortes para Jacó.
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
E cresceu o homem muito, e teve muitas ovelhas, e servas, servos, camelos, e asnos.
