Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob lifted up his feet, —and went his way towards the land of the sons of the East.
Então pôs-se Jacob a pé, e foi-se à terra dos filhos de oriente;
2 And he looked, and lo! a well, in the field and lo! there, three flocks of sheep, lying down near it, for out of that well, do they water the flocks, but, the stone, is great, on the mouth of the well:
E olhou, e eis um poço no campo, e eis três rebanhos de ovelhas que estavam deitados junto a ele; porque daquele poço davam de beber aos rebanhos: e havia uma grande pedra sobre a boca do poço.
3 so they gather together thither all the flocks, and roll away the stone from off the mouth of the well, and water the sheep, —and put back the stone upon the mouth of the well, to its place.
E ajuntavam ali todos os rebanhos, e removiam a pedra de sobre a boca do poço, e davam de beber às ovelhas: e tornavam a pôr a pedra sobre a boca do poço, no seu lugar.
4 And Jacob said to them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said: From haran, are we.
E disse-lhes Jacob: Meus irmãos, de onde sois? E disseram: Somos de Haran.
5 And he said to them, Know ye Laban, son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
E ele lhes disse: Conheceis a Labão, filho de Nachor? E disseram: Conhecemos.
6 And he said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, Well, but lo! Rachel his daughter, coming in with the sheep.
Disse-lhes mais: Está ele bem? E disseram: Está bem, e eis aqui Rachel sua filha, que vem com as ovelhas.
7 And he said Lo! the day is yet high, it is not time for gathering together the cattle, —water the sheep, and go feed.
E ele disse: Eis que ainda é muito dia, não é tempo de ajuntar o gado; dai de beber às ovelhas, e ide, apascentai-as.
8 And they said, We cannot, until that all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll away the stone, from off the mouth of the well, —and then can we water the sheep.
E disseram: Não podemos, até que todos os rebanhos se ajuntem, e removam a pedra de sobre a boca do poço, para que demos de beber às ovelhas.
9 While yet he was speaking with them, Rachel, had come in with the sheep which belonged to her father, for a shepherdess, was she.
Estando ele ainda falando com eles, veio Rachel com as ovelhas de seu pai: porque ela era pastora.
10 And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled away the stone from off the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother,
E aconteceu que, vendo Jacob a Rachel, filha de Labão, irmão de sua mãe, e as ovelhas de Labão, irmão de sua mãe, chegou Jacob, e revolveu a pedra de sobre a boca do poço, e deu de beber às ovelhas de Labão, irmão de sua mãe.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, —and lifted up his voice, and wept.
E Jacob beijou a Rachel, e levantou a sua voz, e chorou.
12 And when Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son, then ran she, and told her father.
E Jacob anunciou a Rachel que era irmão de seu pai, e que era filho de Rebeca: então ela correu, e o anunciou a seu pai.
13 And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fondly kissed him, and brought him into his house, —when he recounted to Laban all these things.
E aconteceu que, ouvindo Labão as novas de Jacob, filho de sua irmã, correu-lhe ao encontro, e abraçou-o, e beijou-o, e levou-o à sua casa: e contou ele a Labão todas estas coisas.
14 And Laban said to him, Surely, my bone and my flesh, art thou. So he abode with him a month of days.
Então Labão disse-lhe: Verdadeiramente és tu o meu osso e a minha carne. E ficou com ele um mês inteiro.
15 Then said Laban to Jacob, Is it because my brother, thou art, that thou shouldst serve me for naught? Come tell me! What shall be thy wages?
Depois disse Labão a Jacob: Porque tu és meu irmão, as de servir-me de graça? declara-me qual será o teu salário.
16 Now, Laban, had two daughters, —the name of the elder, Leah, and the name of the younger, Rachel,
E Labão tinha duas filhas; o nome da mais velha era Leah, e o nome da menor Rachel.
17 But, the eyes of Leah were weak, —whereas, Rachel, was comely in form and comely in countenance.
Leah porém tinha olhos tenros, mas Rachel era de formoso semblante e formosa à vista.
18 So Jacob loved Rachel, —and he said, I will serve thee seven years, for Rachel thy younger daughter.
E Jacob amava a Rachel, e disse: Sete anos te servirei por Rachel, tua filha menor.
19 And Laban said, Better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man, —Abide with me!
Então disse Labão: Melhor é que eu t'a dê, do que eu a dê a outro varão: fica comigo.
20 So Jacob served for Rachel—seven years, —and they became, in his eyes, as single days, for his love to her.
Assim serviu Jacob sete anos por Rachel; e foram aos seus olhos como poucos dias, pelo muito que a amava.
21 Then said Jacob unto Laban: Come give me my wife, for fulfilled are my days, —that I may go in unto her.
E disse Jacob a Labão: Dá-me minha mulher, porque meus dias são cumpridos, para que eu entre a ela.
22 So Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a banquet,
Então ajuntou Labão a todos os varões daquele lugar, e fez um banquete.
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her in unto him, —and he went in unto her.
E aconteceu, à tarde, que tomou Leah sua filha, e trouxe-lha: e entrou a ela.
24 And Laban gave her Zilpah, his handmaid, unto Leah his daughter. as handmaid.
E Labão deu sua serva Zilpah a Leah sua filha por serva.
25 And it came to pass in the morning, that lo! it was Leah, —and he said unto Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Was it not, for Rachel, I served with thee? Wherefore then hast thou deceived me?
E aconteceu pela manhã, eis que era Leah; pelo que disse a Labão: Porque me fizeste isso? não te tenho servido por Rachel? porque pois me enganaste?
26 And Laban said, It must not be done so in our place, —to give the later-born before the firstborn.
E disse Labão: Não se faz assim no nosso lugar, que a menor se dê antes da primogênita.
27 Fulfil the week of this one, —then must we give thee, the other one also, for the service wherewith thou shalt serve with me, yet seven years more.
Cumpre a semana desta; então te daremos também a outra, pelo serviço que ainda outros sete anos servires comigo.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week of this one, —and he gave him Rachel his daughter—to him to wife.
E Jacob fez assim: e cumpriu a semana desta: então lhe deu por mulher Rachel sua filha.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid, —to be hers as a handmaid.
E Labão deu sua serva Bilha por serva a Rachel, sua filha.
30 So he went in, unto Rachel also, and loved, Rachel also, more than Leah, —and he served with him, yet seven years more.
E entrou também a Rachel, e amou também a Rachel mais do que a Leah; e serviu com ele ainda outros sete anos.
31 And, when Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, he granted her to bear children, —whereas, Rachel, was barren.
Vendo pois o Senhor que Leah era aborrecida, abriu a sua madre; porém Rachel era estéril.
32 So Leah conceived, and bare a son, and called his name Reuben, —for she said, Because, Yahweh hath looked upon my humiliation, For, now, will my husband love me.
E concebeu Leah, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Ruben, porque disse: Porque o Senhor atendeu à minha aflição, por isso agora me amará o meu marido.
33 And she conceived again, and bare a son, and said. Because Yahweh heard that, I, was hated, he gave me, this one also. So she called his name Simeon.
E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Porquanto o Senhor ouviu que eu era aborrecida, me deu também este; e chamou o seu nome Simeão.
34 And she conceived again and bare a son, and said, Now—this time, will my husband be bound unto me, For I have borne him three sons, —For this cause, called she his name Levi.
E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Agora esta vez se ajuntará meu marido comigo, porque três filhos lhe tenho parido: por isso chamou o seu nome Levi.
35 And she conceived again and bare a son, and said This time, will I praise Yahweh, For which cause, she called his name Judah. And she left off bearing.
E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Esta vez louvarei ao Senhor. Por isso chamou o seu nome Judá: e cessou de parir.
