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 Rahel menyadari bahwa dirinya mandul, dia merasa iri kepada kakaknya, Lea. Lalu dia berkata kepada Yakub, “Berikanlah aku anak! Kalau tidak, lebih baik aku mati saja!”
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?
Mendengar itu, Yakub menjadi sangat marah dan berkata, “Memangnya aku ini Allah?! Dialah yang sudah membuat kamu mandul! Bukan aku!”
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.
Jawab Rahel, “Ini budakku, Bilha! Ambillah dia dan tidurlah dengannya, supaya dia melahirkan seorang anak yang nantinya kita anggap sebagai anak kita.”
4 And she gave him Balla her maid, for a wife to him; and Jacob went in to her.
Yakub pun setuju, dan Rahel memberikan budaknya Bilha kepada suaminya sebagai istri. Yakub tidur dengan Bilha,
5 And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
lalu Bilha mengandung dan 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.
Maka berkatalah Rahel, “Allah sudah membenarkan aku dan mendengar permohonanku. Dia sudah memberikan kepadaku seorang anak laki-laki!” Itulah sebabnya dia menamai anak itu Dan.
7 And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived yet again, and bore a second son to Jacob.
Lalu Bilha hamil lagi dan melahirkan anak laki-laki yang kedua.
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 sudah berjuang keras melawan kakakku, dan akhirnya aku menang.” Itulah sebabnya dia 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 Lea menyadari bahwa dirinya sudah lama tidak hamil lagi, dia memberikan budaknya, Zilpa, kepada suaminya untuk diperistri.
10 And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Lalu Zilpa hamil dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki bagi Yakub.
11 And Lea said, [It is] happily: and she called his name, Gad.
Lea berkata, “Aku sungguh beruntung.” Maka dia menamai anak itu Gad.
12 And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived yet again, and bore Jacob a second son.
Sesudah itu Zilpa melahirkan lagi seorang anak laki-laki.
13 And Lea said, I am blessed, for the women will pronounce me blessed; and she called his name, Aser.
Lea berkata, “Betapa bahagianya aku. Perempuan-perempuan akan mengatakan bahwa aku bahagia.” Maka dia 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.
Pada musim panen gandum, Ruben berjalan-jalan dan menemukan tanaman mandragora di ladang, lalu membawanya kepada ibunya, Lea. Berkatalah Rahel kepada Lea, “Bolehkah aku minta beberapa mandragora yang dibawa anakmu?”
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, “Apa belum cukup kamu mengambil suamiku? Sekarang kamu masih berani meminta mandragora yang dibawakan anakku untukku!” Rahel menjawab, “Kalau begitu, sebagai gantinya, biarlah malam ini Yakub tidur denganmu, dan berikanlah kepadaku mandragora yang dibawa 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.
Petang harinya, ketika Yakub pulang dari ladang, Lea menyambut dia dan berkata, “Malam ini kamu harus tidur denganku, karena aku sudah memberikan mandragora kepada Rahel sebagai bayarannya.” Maka malam itu, Yakub tidur dengan Lea.
17 And God listened to Lea, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Allah menjawab doa Lea, dia mengandung lagi 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.
Lea pun berkata, “Allah sudah memberi upah kepadaku karena aku memberikan budakku kepada suamiku.” Itulah sebabnya Lea menamai anak itu Isakar.
19 And Lea conceived again, and bore Jacob a sixth son.
Lalu Lea mengandung lagi 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.
Lea berkata, “Allah sudah memberiku suatu pemberian yang luar biasa. Kali ini, suamiku pasti akan menghargaiku karena aku sudah memberinya enam anak laki-laki.” Maka dia menamai anak itu Zebulon.
21 And after this she bore a daughter; and she called her name, Dina.
Sesudah itu, Lea melahirkan seorang anak perempuan dan menamainya Dina.
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and he opened her womb.
Lalu Allah mendengar dan menjawab permohonan Rahel, sehingga Allah membuatnya bisa hamil.
23 And she conceived, and bore Jacob a son; and Rachel said, God has taken away my reproach.
Rahel pun mengandung dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Rahel berkata, “Allah sudah menghapus aib pada diriku.”
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying, Let God add to me another son.
Maka dia menamai anaknya itu Yusuf, karena dia berkata, “Semoga TUHAN memberiku seorang anak laki-laki lagi.”
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.
Sesudah Rahel melahirkan Yusuf, Yakub menemui Laban dan berkata, “Paman, izinkanlah aku kembali ke tanah kelahiranku.
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.
Biarkan aku membawa istri-istri dan anak-anakku, yang aku peroleh karena bekerja padamu. Paman tahu bahwa selama ini aku sudah bekerja keras untukmu.”
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 menjawab, “Kalau kamu berkenan, tinggallah di sini. Aku tahu melalui ramalan bahwa selama ini TUHAN memberkatiku karena kamu bekerja padaku.
28 Appoint me your wages, and I will give [them].
Katakan saja berapa upah yang kamu mau. Aku siap membayarnya.”
29 And Jacob said, You know in what things I have served you, and how many cattle of your are with me.
Jawab Yakub, “Paman sendiri tahu bagaimana aku sudah bekerja keras untukmu, dan bagaimana keadaan kawanan ternak milikmu selama aku mengurusnya.
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?
Sebelum aku datang, harta kekayaan Paman sedikit, tetapi sekarang sudah berlipat ganda banyaknya. TUHAN sudah memberkatimu di mana pun aku bekerja. Jadi, sekarang sudah waktunya aku bekerja memenuhi kebutuhan keluargaku 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.
Laban bertanya, “Kalau begitu, apa yang harus aku berikan kepadamu untuk tetap bekerja bagiku di sini?” Jawab Yakub, “Paman tidak perlu memberikan apa-apa kepadaku. Tetapi kalau Paman setuju dengan usulanku, aku akan terus mengurus kawanan ternak Paman.
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.
Biarlah hari ini aku memisahkan dari antara kawanan ternakmu setiap domba yang berbintik-bintik atau berbelang-belang, setiap anak domba yang berbulu hitam, dan setiap kambing yang berbintik-bintik atau berbelang-belang. Biarlah hewan-hewan itu menjadi 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.
Di kemudian hari, Paman bisa membuktikan kejujuranku. Paman bisa datang memeriksa kawanan ternakku. Kalau ada kambing yang tidak berbintik atau berbelang-belang, atau domba yang tidak berwarna hitam, Paman berhak menganggapku sudah mencuri hewan-hewan itu darimu.”
34 And Laban said to him, Let it be according to your word.
Jawab Laban, “Baiklah, aku setuju!”
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.
Namun, pada hari itu Laban memisahkan semua kambing jantan dan betina yang berbintik-bintik atau berbelang-belang, yang ada warna putih pada bulunya, dan semua anak domba yang berbulu hitam. Dia menyerahkan ternak itu kepada anak-anak laki-lakinya 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.
Lalu anak-anak Laban membawa kawanan ternak itu menjauh dari Yakub dan dari kawanan ternak Laban yang masih dijaga Yakub. Jarak perjalanan antara mereka dengan Yakub adalah tiga hari.
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.
Kemudian Yakub memotong dahan dari tiga jenis pohon dan mengupas sebagian kulit kayunya sampai ke dalam, sehingga dahan-dahan tersebut kelihatan bergaris-garis putih.
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.
Dia menaruh dahan-dahan itu di dalam palungan tempat air minum kawanan ternak, sehingga hewan ternak melihat dahan-dahan itu ketika minum. Binatang-binatang biasanya kawin 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].
Ketika hewan ternak itu kawin di depan dahan-dahan yang bergaris-garis, maka bulu anak-anaknya yang kemudian lahir menjadi bergaris-garis, berbintik-bintik, atau 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.
Lalu Yakub memisahkan domba-domba yang baru lahir itu. Pada musim kawin, Yakub membuat kawanan kambing domba melihat ke arah kawanan yang berbelang-belang atau berwarna gelap, sehingga bulu binatang-binatang yang kemudian lahir menjadi berwarna. Dengan cara ini, dia mulai mengumpulkan kawanan ternaknya sendiri, terpisah dari kawanan ternak 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.
Saat kambing dan domba betina yang sehat sedang berahi, Yakub selalu meletakkan dahan-dahan itu di palungan di hadapan kawanan itu, sehingga mereka kawin di dekat dahan-dahan tersebut.
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.
Akan tetapi, Yakub tidak menaruh dahan-dahan itu di depan hewan ternak yang kurang sehat. Dengan demikian, binatang-binatang yang lahir dari induk yang kurang sehat menjadi milik Laban, sedangkan yang lahir dari induk yang sehat menjadi milik Yakub.
43 And the man became very rich, and he had many cattle, and oxen, and servants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
Akhirnya, Yakub menjadi sangat kaya. Dia memiliki banyak ternak, budak laki-laki dan perempuan, unta, serta keledai.
