< Genesis 30 >

1 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I will die."
Vendo pois Rachel que não paria filhos a Jacob, teve Rachel inveja de sua irmã, e disse a Jacob: Dá-me filhos, ou se não morro.
2 Then Jacob became very angry with Rachel, and he said, "Am I in God's place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"
Então se accendeu a ira de Jacob contra Rachel, e disse: Estou eu no logar de Deus, que te impediu o fructo de teu ventre?
3 She said, "Look, my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her, so that she will bear children for me, that I too may have children through her."
E ella disse: Eis aqui minha serva Bilha; entra a ella, para que pára sobre os meus joelhos, e eu tambem seja edificada d'ella.
4 So she gave him Bilhah her servant as a wife, and Jacob slept with her.
Assim lhe deu a Bilha sua serva por mulher: e Jacob entrou a ella.
5 Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
E concebeu Bilha, e pariu a Jacob um filho.
6 Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son." Therefore she called his name Dan.
Então disse Rachel: Julgou-me Deus, e tambem ouviu a minha voz, e me deu um filho; por isso chamou o seu nome Dan.
7 Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
E Bilha, serva de Rachel, concebeu outra vez, e pariu a Jacob o segundo filho.
8 Rachel said, "I have wrestled mightily with my sister, and have prevailed." So she named him Naphtali.
Então disse Rachel: Com luctas de Deus tenho luctado com minha irmã, tambem venci; e chamou o seu nome Naphtali.
9 When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
Vendo pois Leah que cessava de parir, tomou tambem a Zilpah sua serva, e deu-a a Jacob por mulher.
10 Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bore Jacob a son.
E pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um filho a Jacob.
11 Leah said, "How fortunate." So she named him Gad.
Então disse Leah: Vem uma turba: e chamou o seu nome Gad.
12 Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore Jacob a second son.
Depois pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um segundo filho a Jacob.
13 Leah said, "Happy am I, for the women will call me happy." So she named him Asher.
Então disse Leah: Para minha ventura; porque as filhas me terão por bemaventurada: e chamou o seu nome Asher.
14 Reuben went out during the wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes."
E foi Ruben nos dias da sega do trigo, e achou mandrágoras no campo. E trouxe-as a Leah, sua mãe. Então disse Rachel a Leah: Ora dá-me das mandrágoras do teu filho.
15 She said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes, also?" Rachel said, "Therefore he may sleep with you tonight for your son's mandrakes."
E ella lhe disse: É já pouco que hajas tomado o meu marido, tomarás tambem as mandrágoras do meu filho? Então disse Rachel: Por isso se deitará comtigo esta noite pelas mandrágoras de teu filho.
16 Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must sleep with me; for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes." So he slept with her that night.
Vindo pois Jacob á tarde do campo, saiu-lhe Leah ao encontro, e disse: A mim entrarás, porque certamente te aluguei com as mandrágoras do meu filho. E deitou-se com ella aquella noite.
17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
E ouviu Deus a Leah, e concebeu, e pariu um quinto filho.
18 Leah said, "God has given me my wages, because I gave my servant to my husband." So she named him Issachar.
Então disse Leah: Deus me tem dado o meu galardão, pois tenho dado minha serva ao meu marido: e chamou o seu nome Issacar.
19 Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
E Leah concebeu outra vez, e pariu a Jacob um sexto filho.
20 Leah said, "God has given me a good gift. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons." So she named him Zebulun.
E disse Leah: Deus me deu a mim uma boa dadiva; d'esta vez morará o meu marido commigo, porque lhe tenho parido seis filhos: e chamou o seu nome Zebulon.
21 Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.
E depois pariu uma filha, e chamou o seu nome Dinah.
22 God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and made her fertile.
E lembrou-se Deus de Rachel, e Deus a ouviu, e abriu a sua madre,
23 She conceived, bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my shame."
E ella concebeu, e pariu um filho, e disse: Tirou-me Deus a minha vergonha.
24 So she named him Joseph, saying, "May God add another son to me."
E chamou o seu nome José, dizendo: O Senhor me accrescente outro filho.
25 It happened, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
E aconteceu que, como Rachel pariu a José, disse Jacob a Labão: Deixa-me ir, que me vá ao meu logar, e á minha terra.
26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know the service I have given you."
Dá-me as minhas mulheres, e os meus filhos, pelas quaes te tenho servido, e ir-me-hei; pois tu sabes o meu serviço, que te tenho feito.
27 Laban said to him, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have learned by divination that God has blessed me for your sake."
Então lhe disse Labão: Se agora tenho achado graça em teus olhos, fica commigo. Tenho experimentado que o Senhor me abençoou por amor de ti.
28 He said, "Name your wages, and I will pay it."
E disse mais: Determina-me o teu salario, que t'o darei.
29 He said to him, "You know how I have served you, and how well your livestock have done with me.
Então lhe disse: Tu sabes como te tenho servido, e como passou o teu gado commigo.
30 For you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly. And God has blessed you wherever I worked. Now when will I also provide for my own household?"
Porque o pouco que tinhas antes de mim, é augmentado até uma multidão: e o Senhor te tem abençoado por meu trabalho. Agora pois, quando hei-de trabalhar tambem por minha casa?
31 He said, "What should I give you?" Jacob said, "You do not need to give me anything. If you will do this one thing for me, I will again pasture your flock and take care of it.
E disse elle: Que te darei? Então disse Jacob: Nada me darás; se me fizeres isto, tornarei a apascentar e a guardar o teu rebanho.
32 I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my wages.
Passarei hoje por todo o teu rebanho, separando d'elle todos os salpicados e malhados, e todos os morenos entre os cordeiros, e os malhados e salpicados entre as cabras: e isto será o meu salario.
33 So my honesty will testify for me later on, when the subject of my wages comes before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep that I have in my possession, will be counted as stolen."
Assim testificará por mim a minha justiça no dia d'ámanhã, quando vieres e o meu salario estiver diante de tua face: tudo o que não for salpicado e malhado entre as cabras e moreno entre os cordeiros, ser-me-ha por furto.
34 Laban said, "Look, let it be as you have said."
Então disse Labão: Eis que oxalá seja conforme á tua palavra.
35 That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and put them in the care of his sons.
E separou n'aquelle mesmo dia os bodes listrados e malhados e todas as cabras salpicadas e malhadas, tudo em que havia brancura, e todo o moreno entre os cordeiros; e deu-os nas mãos dos seus filhos.
36 He set three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob pastured the rest of Laban's flocks.
E poz tres dias de caminho entre si e Jacob: e Jacob apascentava o resto dos rebanhos de Labão.
37 Jacob took fresh branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white streaks by peeling them, exposing white stripes on the branches.
Então tomou Jacob varas verdes d'alamo, e d'aveleira e de castanheiro, e descascou n'ellas riscas brancas, descobrindo a brancura que nas varas havia,
38 He set up the peeled branches which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the troughs, that is, the watering places where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink,
E poz estas varas, que tinha descascado, em frente do rebanho, nos canos e nas pias d'agua, aonde o rebanho vinha a beber, e conceberam vindo a beber.
39 the flocks bred in front of the branches, and the flocks brought bore streaked, speckled, and spotted.
E concebia o rebanho diante das varas, e as ovelhas pariam listrados, salpicados e malhados.
40 Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laban. So he kept his own flocks separate, and did not put them into Laban's flock.
Então separou Jacob os cordeiros, e poz as faces do rebanho para os listrados, e todo o moreno entre o rebanho de Labão; e poz o seu rebanho á parte, e não o poz com o rebanho de Labão.
41 It happened, whenever the stronger of the flock were breeding, that Jacob would set up the branches in front of the flock in the troughs, so that they would breed near the branches;
E succedia que cada vez que concebiam as ovelhas fortes, punha Jacob as varas diante dos olhos do rebanho nos canos, para que concebessem diante das varas.
42 but for the weaker of the flock, he did not put them there. So the weaker would be Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
Mas quando enfraqueceu o rebanho, não as poz. Assim as fracas eram de Labão, e as fortes de Jacob.
43 Thus the man became very rich, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
E cresceu o varão em grande maneira, e teve muitos rebanhos, e servas, e servos, e camelos e jumentos.
