< 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.
Ketika dilihat Rahel, bahwa ia tidak melahirkan anak bagi Yakub, cemburulah ia kepada kakaknya itu, lalu berkata kepada Yakub: "Berikanlah kepadaku anak; kalau tidak, aku akan mati."
2 And Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said to her, Am I in the place of God, who has deprived you of the fruit of the womb?
Maka bangkitlah amarah Yakub terhadap Rahel dan ia berkata: "Akukah pengganti Allah, yang telah menghalangi engkau mengandung?"
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.
Kata Rahel: "Ini Bilha, budakku perempuan, hampirilah dia, supaya ia melahirkan anak di pangkuanku, dan supaya oleh dia akupun mempunyai keturunan."
4 And she gave him Balla her maid, for a wife to him; and Jacob went in to her.
Maka diberikannyalah Bilha, budaknya itu, kepada Yakub menjadi isterinya dan Yakub menghampiri budak itu.
5 And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Bilha mengandung, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki bagi Yakub.
6 And Rachel said, God has given judgment for me, and listened to my voice, and has given me a son; therefore she called his name, Dan.
Berkatalah Rahel: "Allah telah memberikan keadilan kepadaku, juga telah didengarkan-Nya permohonanku dan diberikan-Nya kepadaku seorang anak laki-laki." Itulah sebabnya ia menamai anak itu Dan.
7 And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived yet again, and bore a second son to Jacob.
Mengandung pulalah Bilha, budak perempuan Rahel, lalu melahirkan anak laki-laki yang kedua bagi Yakub.
8 And Rachel said, God has helped me, and I contended with my sister and prevailed; and she called his name, Nephthalim.
Berkatalah Rahel: "Aku telah sangat hebat bergulat dengan kakakku, dan akupun menang." Maka ia menamai 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 dilihat Lea, bahwa ia tidak melahirkan lagi, diambilnyalah Zilpa, budaknya perempuan, dan diberikannya kepada Yakub menjadi isterinya.
10 And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Dan Zilpa, budak perempuan Lea, melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki bagi Yakub.
11 And Lea said, [It is] happily: and she called his name, Gad.
Berkatalah Lea: "Mujur telah datang." Maka ia menamai anak itu Gad.
12 And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived yet again, and bore Jacob a second son.
Dan Zilpa, budak perempuan Lea, melahirkan anak laki-laki yang kedua bagi Yakub.
13 And Lea said, I am blessed, for the women will pronounce me blessed; and she called his name, Aser.
Berkatalah Lea: "Aku ini berbahagia! Tentulah perempuan-perempuan akan menyebutkan aku berbahagia." Maka ia menamai 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 your son's mandrakes.
Ketika Ruben pada musim menuai gandum pergi berjalan-jalan, didapatinyalah di padang buah dudaim, lalu dibawanya kepada Lea, ibunya. Kata Rahel kepada Lea: "Berilah aku beberapa buah dudaim yang didapat oleh anakmu itu."
15 And Lea said, [Is it] not enough for you that you have taken my husband, will you also take my son's mandrakes? And Rachel said, Not so: let him lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes.
Jawab Lea kepadanya: "Apakah belum cukup bagimu mengambil suamiku? Sekarang pula mau mengambil lagi buah dudaim anakku?" Kata Rahel: "Kalau begitu biarlah ia tidur dengan engkau pada malam ini sebagai ganti buah dudaim anakmu itu."
16 And Jacob came in out of the field at even; and Lea went forth to meet him, and said, You shall come in to me this day, for I have hired you for my son's mandrakes; and he lay with her that night.
Ketika Yakub pada waktu petang datang dari padang, pergilah Lea mendapatkannya, sambil berkata: "Engkau harus singgah kepadaku malam ini, sebab memang engkau telah kusewa dengan buah dudaim anakku." Sebab itu tidurlah Yakub dengan Lea pada malam itu.
17 And God listened to Lea, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Lalu Allah mendengarkan permohonan Lea. Lea mengandung dan melahirkan anak laki-laki yang kelima bagi Yakub.
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.
Lalu kata Lea: "Allah telah memberi upahku, karena aku telah memberi budakku perempuan kepada suamiku." Maka ia menamai anak itu Isakhar.
19 And Lea conceived again, and bore Jacob a sixth son.
Kemudian Lea mengandung pula dan melahirkan anak laki-laki yang keenam bagi Yakub.
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.
Berkatalah Lea: "Allah telah memberikan hadiah yang indah kepadaku; sekali ini suamiku akan tinggal bersama-sama dengan aku, karena aku telah melahirkan enam orang anak laki-laki baginya." Maka ia menamai anak itu Zebulon.
21 And after this she bore a daughter; and she called her name, Dina.
Sesudah itu ia melahirkan seorang anak perempuan dan menamai anak itu Dina.
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and he opened her womb.
Lalu ingatlah Allah akan Rahel; Allah mendengarkan permohonannya serta membuka kandungannya.
23 And she conceived, and bore Jacob a son; and Rachel said, God has taken away my reproach.
Maka mengandunglah Rahel dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Berkatalah ia: "Allah telah menghapuskan aibku."
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying, Let God add to me another son.
Maka ia menamai anak itu Yusuf, sambil berkata: "Mudah-mudahan TUHAN menambah seorang anak laki-laki lagi bagiku."
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.
Setelah Rahel melahirkan Yusuf, berkatalah Yakub kepada Laban: "Izinkanlah aku pergi, supaya aku pulang ke tempat kelahiranku dan ke negeriku.
26 Restore my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, that I may depart, for you know the service wherewith I have served you.
Berikanlah isteri-isteriku dan anak-anakku, yang menjadi upahku selama aku bekerja padamu, supaya aku pulang, sebab engkau tahu, betapa keras aku bekerja padamu."
27 And Laban said to him, If I have found grace in your sight, I would augur [well], for the Lord has blessed me at your coming in.
Tetapi Laban berkata kepadanya: "Sekiranya aku mendapat kasihmu! Telah nyata kepadaku, bahwa TUHAN memberkati aku karena engkau."
28 Appoint me your wages, and I will give [them].
Lagi katanya: "Tentukanlah upahmu yang harus kubayar, maka aku akan memberikannya."
29 And Jacob said, You know in what things I have served you, and how many cattle of your are with me.
Sahut Yakub kepadanya: "Engkau sendiri tahu, bagaimana aku bekerja padamu, dan bagaimana keadaan ternakmu dalam penjagaanku,
30 For it was little you had before my time, and it is increased to a multitude, and the Lord God has blessed you since my coming; now then, when shall I set up also my own house?
sebab harta milikmu tidak begitu banyak sebelum aku datang, tetapi sekarang telah berkembang dengan sangat, dan TUHAN telah memberkati engkau sejak aku berada di sini; jadi, bilakah dapat aku bekerja untuk rumah tanggaku sendiri?"
31 And Laban said to him, What shall I give you? and Jacob said to him, You shall not give me anything; if you will do this thing for me, I will again tend your flocks and keep them.
Kata Laban: "Apakah yang harus kuberikan kepadamu?" Jawab Yakub: "Tidak usah kauberikan apa-apa kepadaku; aku mau lagi menggembalakan kambing dombamu dan menjaganya, asal engkau mengizinkan hal ini kepadaku:
32 Let all your sheep pass by today, 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.
Hari ini aku akan lewat dari tengah-tengah segala kambing dombamu dan akan mengasingkan dari situ setiap binatang yang berbintik-bintik dan berbelang-belang; segala domba yang hitam dan segala kambing yang berbelang-belang dan berbintik-bintik, itulah upahku.
33 And my righteousness shall answer for me on the morrow, for it is my reward before you: whatever shall not be spotted and speckled among the goats, and grey among the rams, shall be stolen with me.
Dan kejujuranku akan terbukti di kemudian hari, apabila engkau datang memeriksa upahku: Segala yang tidak berbintik-bintik atau berbelang-belang di antara kambing-kambing dan yang tidak hitam di antara domba-domba, anggaplah itu tercuri olehku."
34 And Laban said to him, Let it be according to your word.
Kemudian kata Laban: "Baik, jadilah seperti perkataanmu 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.
Lalu diasingkannyalah pada hari itu kambing-kambing jantan yang bercoreng-coreng dan berbelang-belang dan segala kambing yang berbintik-bintik dan berbelang-belang, segala yang ada warna putih pada badannya, serta segala yang hitam di antara domba-domba, dan diserahkannyalah semuanya itu kepada anak-anaknya untuk dijaga.
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.
Kemudian Laban menentukan jarak tiga hari perjalanan jauhnya antara dia dan Yakub, maka tetaplah Yakub menggembalakan kambing domba yang tinggal itu.
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.
Lalu Yakub mengambil dahan hijau dari pohon hawar, pohon badam dan pohon berangan, dikupasnyalah dahan-dahan itu sehingga berbelang-belang, sampai yang putihnya kelihatan.
38 And he laid the rods which he had peeled, in the hollows of the watering-troughs, that whenever the cattle should come to drink, as they should have come to drink before the rods, the cattle might conceive at the rods.
Ia meletakkan dahan-dahan yang dikupasnya itu dalam palungan, dalam tempat minum, ke mana kambing domba itu datang minum, sehingga tepat di depan kambing domba itu. Adapun kambing domba itu suka berkelamin pada waktu datang minum.
39 So the cattle conceived at the rods, and the cattle brought forth [young] speckled, and streaked and spotted with ash-colored [spots].
Jika kambing domba itu berkelamin dekat dahan-dahan itu, maka anaknya bercoreng-coreng, berbintik-bintik dan berbelang-belang.
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 memisahkan domba-domba itu, dihadapkannya kepala-kepala kambing domba itu kepada yang bercoreng-coreng dan kepada segala yang hitam di antara kambing domba Laban. Demikianlah ia beroleh kumpulan-kumpulan hewan baginya sendiri, dan tidak ditempatkannya pada kambing domba 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.
Dan setiap kali, apabila berkelamin kambing domba yang kuat, maka Yakub meletakkan dahan-dahan itu ke dalam palungan di depan mata kambing domba itu, supaya berkelamin dekat dahan-dahan itu.
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 apabila datang kambing domba yang lemah, ia tidak meletakkan dahan-dahan itu ke dalamnya. Jadi hewan yang lemah untuk Laban dan yang kuat untuk Yakub.
43 And the man became very rich, and he had many cattle, and oxen, and servants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
Maka sangatlah bertambah-tambah harta Yakub, dan ia mempunyai banyak kambing domba, budak perempuan dan laki-laki, unta dan keledai.
