Genesis 29
1 And Jacob lifts up his feet, and goes toward the land of the sons of the east;
Kemudian Yakub meneruskan perjalanan hingga tiba di tanah orang-orang di sebelah timur Kanaan.
2 and he looks, and behold, a well in the field, and behold, there [are] three droves of a flock crouching by it, for they water the droves from that well, and the great stone [is] on the mouth of the well.
Dari jauh, dia melihat sebuah sumur dengan tiga kawanan domba sedang berbaring di dekatnya. Dari sumur itulah domba-domba akan diberi minum. Namun, saat itu sumur masih ditutup dengan sebuah batu besar.
3 (When all the droves have been gathered there, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.)
Sudah menjadi kebiasaan di sana untuk menunggu sampai semua gembala dan kawanan domba mereka berkumpul, barulah batu besar itu digulingkan ke samping, lalu semua kawanan domba diberi minum. Setelah itu, sumur akan ditutup kembali dengan batu besar tadi.
4 And Jacob says to them, “My brothers, where [are] you from?” And they say, “We [are] from Haran.”
Yakub mendekati para gembala di situ dan berkata, “Saudara-saudara, dari manakah kalian ini?” Jawab mereka, “Kami dari Haran.”
5 And he says to them, “Have you known Laban, son of Nahor?” And they say, “We have known.”
Yakub bertanya lagi, “Apakah kalian mengenal Laban, cucu Nahor?” Jawab mereka, “Ya, kami kenal dia.”
6 And he says to them, “Does he have peace?” And they say, “Peace; and behold, his daughter Rachel is coming with the flock.”
Lalu kata Yakub, “Bagaimana kabarnya?” Jawab mereka, “Dia baik-baik saja. Lihatlah, itu anaknya yang bernama Rahel datang. Dia membawa domba-domba ayahnya.”
7 And he says, “Behold, the day [is] still great, [it is] not time for the livestock to be gathered; water the flock, and go, delight yourselves.”
Yakub berkata, “Ya, tetapi hari masih siang. Belum waktunya domba-domba dikumpulkan dan dimasukkan ke kandang. Sebaiknya domba-domba ini diberi minum lalu digiring kembali ke padang untuk merumput.”
8 And they say, “We are not able, until all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.”
Jawab mereka, “Tidak bisa. Kalau semua kawanan domba sudah berkumpul, barulah kami dapat menggulingkan batu penutup sumur itu dan memberi minum domba-domba kami.”
9 He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel has come with the flock which her father has, for she [is] shepherdess;
Ketika Yakub masih berbicara dengan mereka, Rahel tiba di tempat itu sambil menggiring domba-domba milik ayahnya.
10 and it comes to pass, when Jacob has seen Rachel, daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the flock of his mother’s brother Laban, that Jacob comes near and rolls the stone from off the mouth of the well, and waters the flock of his mother’s brother Laban.
Begitu Yakub melihat Rahel, sepupunya, yaitu anak Laban, saudara ibunya, dia menggulingkan batu penutup sumur itu. Kemudian Yakub memberi minum domba-domba pamannya.
11 And Jacob kisses Rachel, and lifts up his voice, and weeps,
Yakub mencium pipi kanan dan kiri Rahel sambil menangis dengan nyaring karena senangnya.
12 and Jacob declares to Rachel that he [is] her father’s brother, and that he [is] Rebekah’s son, and she runs and declares [it] to her father.
Yakub menceritakan kepada Rahel bahwa mereka adalah sepupu, karena Laban adalah saudara ibunya, Ribka. Mendengar itu, Rahel berlari pulang untuk memberitahu ayahnya.
13 And it comes to pass, when Laban hears the report of his sister’s son Jacob, that he runs to meet him, and embraces him, and kisses him, and brings him into his house; and he recounts to Laban all these things,
Begitu Laban mendengar tentang kedatangan Yakub, dia langsung berlari menemuinya, kemudian memeluk dan mencium pipi kanan dan kiri Yakub. Laban mengajak Yakub ke rumahnya, dan Yakub menceritakan semua hal yang sudah terjadi padanya.
14 and Laban says to him, “You [are] surely my bone and my flesh”; and he dwells with him a month of days.
Lalu kata Laban kepadanya, “Kamu benar-benar keponakanku.” Maka Yakub tinggal di rumah Laban selama sebulan penuh.
15 And Laban says to Jacob, “Is it because you [are] my brother that you have served me for nothing? Declare to me what your hire [is].”
Kemudian Laban berkata kepada Yakub, “Tidak pantas kamu bekerja untukku tanpa digaji hanya karena kita masih keluarga. Katakanlah berapa bayaran yang kamu inginkan.”
16 And Laban has two daughters, the name of the older [is] Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel,
Laban mempunyai dua anak perempuan, yang sulung Lea, dan adiknya bernama Rahel.
17 and the eyes of Leah [are] tender, and Rachel has been beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
Lea bermata sayu, sedangkan Rahel cantik wajahnya maupun perawakannya.
18 And Jacob loves Rachel and says, “I serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter”:
Yakub sudah jatuh cinta kepada Rahel. Karena itu, dia berkata, “Aku bersedia bekerja pada Paman selama tujuh tahun. Sebagai bayarannya, izinkanlah aku menikah dengan Rahel.”
19 and Laban says, “It is better for me to give her to you than to give her to another man; dwell with me”;
Jawab Laban, “Ya. Lebih baik aku memberikan Rahel kepadamu daripada kepada orang lain! Tinggallah di sini bekerja padaku.”
20 and Jacob serves for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her.
Maka Yakub pun bekerja selama tujuh tahun untuk mendapatkan Rahel. Bagi Yakub, tujuh tahun terasa seperti beberapa hari saja, karena dia sangat mencintai Rahel.
21 And Jacob says to Laban, “Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in to her”;
Sesudah tujuh tahun berlalu, berkatalah Yakub kepada Laban, “Masa kerjaku selama tujuh tahun sudah berakhir. Sekarang izinkanlah aku menikah dengan Rahel.”
22 and Laban gathers all the men of the place, and makes a banquet.
Maka Laban mengundang semua orang di tempat itu dan mengadakan pesta pernikahan yang besar.
23 And it comes to pass in the evening, that he takes his daughter Leah, and brings her to him, and he goes in to her;
Namun, malam itu Laban membawa Lea kepada Yakub, dan Yakub pun bersetubuh dengannya.
24 and Laban gives his maidservant Zilpah to her, to his daughter Leah, [for] a maidservant.
Laban memberikan seorang budak perempuan bernama Zilpa kepada Lea untuk menjadi pelayannya.
25 And it comes to pass in the morning, that behold, it [is] Leah; and he says to Laban, “What [is] this you have done to me? Have I not served with you for Rachel? And why have you deceived me?”
Keesokan paginya, Yakub baru menyadari bahwa yang bersama dia semalam adalah Lea. Maka berkatalah Yakub kepada Laban, “Kenapa Paman memperlakukan aku seperti ini?! Aku bekerja tujuh tahun demi mendapatkan Rahel! Kenapa Paman menipu aku?!”
26 And Laban says, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn;
Jawab Laban, “Dalam adat kami, seorang adik perempuan tidak boleh menikah mendahului kakaknya.
27 fulfill the period of seven [for] this one, and we also give to you this one, for the service which you serve with me yet seven other years.”
Jalanilah dulu perayaan pernikahanmu dengan Lea selama satu minggu, lalu aku akan memberikan Rahel kepadamu. Tetapi kamu harus berjanji untuk bekerja padaku selama tujuh tahun lagi.”
28 And Jacob does so, and fulfills the period of seven [for] this one, and he gives his daughter Rachel to him for a wife for him;
Yakub memenuhi permintaan Laban dan menjalani perayaan pernikahan untuk Lea selama satu minggu. Kemudian Laban memberikan Rahel kepada Yakub untuk diperistri.
29 and Laban gives his maidservant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel for a maidservant for her.
Laban memberikan juga budak perempuan bernama Bilha kepada Rahel untuk menjadi pelayannya.
30 And he also goes in to Rachel, and he also loves Rachel more than Leah; and he serves with him yet seven other years.
Jadi Yakub juga bersetubuh dengan Rahel, dan dia lebih mencintai Rahel daripada Lea. Sesudah itu, Yakub masih tinggal dan bekerja untuk Laban selama tujuh tahun lagi.
31 And YHWH sees that Leah [is] the hated one, and He opens her womb, and Rachel [is] barren;
TUHAN tahu bahwa Yakub tidak mencintai Lea, maka TUHAN mengizinkan Lea hamil, sedangkan Rahel tetap mandul.
32 and Leah conceives, and bears a son, and calls his name Reuben, for she said, “Because YHWH has looked on my affliction; because now does my husband love me.”
Lea melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Dia berkata, “TUHAN sudah melihat penderitaanku. Sekarang suamiku pasti mencintai aku.” Karena itu, dia menamai anaknya Ruben.
33 And she conceives again, and bears a son, and says, “Because YHWH has heard that I [am] the hated one, He also gives to me even this [one]”; and she calls his name Simeon.
Kemudian Lea hamil lagi, dan ketika dia melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, dia berkata, “TUHAN sudah mendengar bahwa aku tidak dicintai. Itu sebabnya TUHAN memberikan seorang anak lagi kepadaku.” Maka dia menamai anak itu Simeon.
34 And she conceives again and bears a son, and says, “Now [is] the time, my husband is joined to me, because I have born to him three sons,” therefore has [one] called his name Levi.
Sesudah itu, Lea kembali mengandung, dan ketika melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, dia berkata, “Sekarang suamiku pasti semakin erat kepadaku karena aku sudah melahirkan tiga anak laki-laki baginya.” Maka Lea menamai anak itu Lewi.
35 And she conceives again and bears a son, and this time says, “I praise YHWH”; therefore has she called his name Judah; and she ceases from bearing.
Beberapa waktu kemudian, Lea hamil lagi dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Kali ini dia berkata, “Aku memuji TUHAN!” Maka dia menamai anak keempatnya itu Yehuda. Setelah itu, Lea berhenti mengandung.
