Genesis 30
1 And Rachel saw she had borne no children unto Jacob, so Rachel became envious of her sister, —and said unto Jacob, Come! give me children, or else, I die.
拉结见自己不给雅各生子，就嫉妒她姊姊，对雅各说：“你给我孩子，不然我就死了。”
2 Then kindled the anger of Jacob with Rachel, —and he said, Am I, in the place of God, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
雅各向拉结生气，说：“叫你不生育的是 神，我岂能代替他作主呢？”
3 And she said, Lo! my handmaid, Bilhah. Go in unto her, —that she may bear upon my knees, so that, I also, may be builded up by her!
拉结说：“有我的使女辟拉在这里，你可以与她同房，使她生子在我膝下，我便因她也得孩子。”
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid, to wife, —and Jacob went in unto her;
拉结就把她的使女辟拉给丈夫为妾；雅各便与她同房，
5 and Bilhah conceived, and bare unto Jacob a son;
辟拉就怀孕，给雅各生了一个儿子。
6 and Rachel said God hath vindicated me. Moreover also he hath hearkened unto my voice, and hath given me a son. For this cause, called she his name Dan.
拉结说：“神伸了我的冤，也听了我的声音，赐我一个儿子”，因此给他起名叫但。
7 And Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid conceived again, and bare a second son to Jacob.
拉结的使女辟拉又怀孕，给雅各生了第二个儿子。
8 Then said Rachel With wrestlings of God, have I wrestled with my sister Yea I have prevailed. So she called his name, Naphtali.
拉结说：“我与我姊姊大大相争，并且得胜”，于是给他起名叫拿弗他利。
9 Then saw Leah, that she had left off bearing, —so she took Zilpah, her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.
利亚见自己停了生育，就把使女悉帕给雅各为妾。
10 And Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid, bare to Jacob a son:
利亚的使女悉帕给雅各生了一个儿子。
11 and Leah said, Victory hath come! So she called his name Gad.
利亚说：“万幸！”于是给他起名叫迦得。
12 And Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid bare a second son to Jacob;
利亚的使女悉帕又给雅各生了第二个儿子。
13 and Leah said, For my happiness, surely happy have daughters pronounced me. So she called his name, Asher.
利亚说：“我有福啊，众女子都要称我是有福的”，于是给他起名叫亚设。
14 Then went Reuben, in the days of the wheat harvest, and found mandrakes, in the field, and brought them in unto Leah his mother, and Rachel said unto Leah, Pray give me, some of the mandrakes of thy son
割麦子的时候，吕便往田里去，寻见风茄，拿来给他母亲利亚。拉结对利亚说：“请你把你儿子的风茄给我些。”
15 And she said to her, Is it, a small thing, that thou hast taken away my husband? And wouldst thou take away, even the mandrakes of my son? Then said Rachel, Therefore, shall he lie with thee to-night, for the mandrakes of thy son.
利亚说：“你夺了我的丈夫还算小事吗？你又要夺我儿子的风茄吗？”拉结说：“为你儿子的风茄，今夜他可以与你同寝。”
16 And Jacob came in from the field, in the evening, so Leah went out to meet him and said: Unto me, shalt thou come in, for I have hired, thee, even with the mandrakes of my son. And he lay with her that night,
到了晚上，雅各从田里回来，利亚出来迎接他，说：“你要与我同寝，因为我实在用我儿子的风茄把你雇下了。”那一夜，雅各就与她同寝。
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, —and she conceived and bare to Jacob a fifth son.
神应允了利亚，她就怀孕，给雅各生了第五个儿子。
18 Then said Leah. God hath given my hire, in that I gave my handmaid to my husband. So she called his name, Issachar.
利亚说：“神给了我价值，因为我把使女给了我丈夫”，于是给他起名叫以萨迦。
19 And Leah conceived again and bare a sixth son to Jacob.
利亚又怀孕，给雅各生了第六个儿子。
20 Then said Leah, God hath dowered me even me with a hand-some dowry, Now! will my husband dwell with me, for I have borne him six sons. So she called his name, Zebulon.
利亚说：“神赐我厚赏；我丈夫必与我同住，因我给他生了六个儿子”，于是给他起名西布伦。
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, —so she called her name, Dinah.
后来又生了一个女儿，给她起名叫底拿。
22 Then God remembered Rachel, —and God hearkened unto her, and granted her to bear.
神顾念拉结，应允了她，使她能生育。
23 So she conceived and bare a son, —and said, God hath taken away my reproach;
拉结怀孕生子，说：“神除去了我的羞耻”，
24 So she called his name Joseph, saying, Yahweh is adding unto me another son.
就给他起名叫约瑟，意思说：“愿耶和华再增添我一个儿子。”
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Let me go that I may take my journey, unto my place, and to my land.
拉结生约瑟之后，雅各对拉班说：“请打发我走，叫我回到我本乡本土去。
26 Come, give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee and let me take my journey, —for, thou, knowest my service wherewith I have served thee.
请你把我服事你所得的妻子和儿女给我，让我走；我怎样服事你，你都知道。”
27 And Laban said unto him, If, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, …I have divined that Yahweh hath blessed me for thy sake.
拉班对他说：“我若在你眼前蒙恩，请你仍与我同住，因为我已算定，耶和华赐福与我是为你的缘故”；
28 And he said, —Come, fix thy wages for me, that I may give it!
又说：“请你定你的工价，我就给你。”
29 And he said unto him, Thou, knowest how I have served thee, —and how thy cattle have fared, with me.
雅各对他说：“我怎样服事你，你的牲畜在我手里怎样，是你知道的。
30 For it was, little, that thou hadst—before I came and then it brake forth into multitude, and Yahweh blessed thee at my every step. Now, therefore, when am, I, also to do something for my own house?
我未来之先，你所有的很少，现今却发大众多，耶和华随我的脚步赐福与你。如今，我什么时候才为自己兴家立业呢？”
31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said: Thou shall give me, nothing at all, If thou wilt do for me this thing, I will return, I will shepherd thy flock I will keep it:
拉班说：“我当给你什么呢？”雅各说：“什么你也不必给我，只有一件事，你若应承，我便仍旧牧放你的羊群。
32 Let me pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every young one that is speckled and spotted and every young one that is dark-coloured among the young sheep, and spotted and speckled among the goats, and they shall be my wages.
今天我要走遍你的羊群，把绵羊中凡有点的、有斑的，和黑色的，并山羊中凡有斑的、有点的，都挑出来；将来这一等的就算我的工价。
33 And my righteousness shall answer for me on a future day, when thou shall come in respecting my hire that is before thee, Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and dark-coloured among the young sheep, stolen, shall it be accounted, if found with me.
以后你来查看我的工价，凡在我手里的山羊不是有点有斑的，绵羊不是黑色的，那就算是我偷的；这样便可证出我的公义来。”
34 Then said Laban, Lo! would it might be according to thy word!
拉班说：“好啊！我情愿照着你的话行。”
35 So he removed, on that day, the he-goats that were striped and spotted and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and every dark-coloured one among the young sheep, —and delivered them into the hand of his sons;
当日，拉班把有纹的、有斑的公山羊，有点的、有斑的、有杂白纹的母山羊，并黑色的绵羊，都挑出来，交在他儿子们的手下，
36 then put he a journey of three days between himself and Jacob, —but, Jacob himself, continued tending the flocks of Laban that were left.
又使自己和雅各相离三天的路程。雅各就牧养拉班其余的羊。
37 So then Jacob took him rods of young storax, and hazel and maple, —and peeled in them white stripes, laying bare the white which was on the rods.
雅各拿杨树、杏树、枫树的嫩枝，将皮剥成白纹，使枝子露出白的来，
38 And he set the rods which he had peeled, in the channels in the troughs of water, —where the flocks came in to drink straight before the flocks, and the females of the flock used to be in heat when they came in to drink;
将剥了皮的枝子，对着羊群，插在饮羊的水沟里和水槽里，羊来喝的时候，牝牡配合。
39 and the males of the flock were in heat before the rods, —so the flocks brought forth ring-straked, speckled, and spotted.
羊对着枝子配合，就生下有纹的、有点的、有斑的来。
40 The rams also, did Jacob separate, and then set the faces of the flocks towards the ring-straked and all the dark-coloured, among the flocks of Laban, —and he put his own droves by themselves, and put them not with the flocks of Laban.
雅各把羊羔分出来，使拉班的羊与这有纹和黑色的羊相对，把自己的羊另放一处，不叫他和拉班的羊混杂。
41 So it came to pass whensoever the stronger of the flocks were in heat, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flocks in the channels, —that the females might be in heat among the rods;
到羊群肥壮配合的时候，雅各就把枝子插在水沟里，使羊对着枝子配合。
42 but, when the flocks were late in bearing, he did not set them, —and so the late-born were Laban’s, but the strong ones Jacob’s.
只是到羊瘦弱配合的时候就不插枝子。这样，瘦弱的就归拉班，肥壮的就归雅各。
43 Thus did the man break forth, exceedingly, —thus came he to have flocks in abundance, and maid-servants, and men-servants and camels and asses.
于是雅各极其发大，得了许多的羊群、仆婢、骆驼，和驴。
