Genesis 30
1 Rachel realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any children for Jacob. So she became jealous of her older sister, Leah, because Leah had given birth to four sons. She said to Jacob, “Enable me to become pregnant and give birth to children. If you do not do that, I [think I will]!”
Tetapi Rahel belum juga mendapat anak. Sebab itu dia menjadi cemburu kepada kakaknya, lalu berkata kepada Yakub, "Berikanlah anak kepada saya, kalau tidak, saya akan mati."
2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “(I am not God!/Am I God?) [RHQ] He is the one who has prevented you from becoming pregnant!”
Yakub marah kepada Rahel dan berkata, "Saya ini bukan Allah. Dialah yang membuat engkau tidak mendapat anak."
3 Then she said, “Look, here is my female slave, Bilhah. (Sleep with/Have sex with) [EUP] her, so that she may become pregnant and give birth to children for me. In that way it will be as though (I have children/her children are mine).”
Lalu kata Rahel, "Ini hamba saya Bilha; tidurlah dengan dia supaya ia melahirkan. Dengan demikian saya bisa menjadi ibu melalui dia."
4 So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
Lalu diberikannya Bilha kepada suaminya, dan Yakub bersetubuh dengan hamba itu.
5 She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
Bilha mengandung lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.
6 Rachel said, “God has (vindicated me/judged my case and has decided that what I have done is right). He has also heard my requests and has given me a son.” So she named him Dan, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘he judged’].
Rahel berkata, "Allah telah mengadili untuk kepentingan saya. Didengarnya doaku dan diberikannya seorang anak laki-laki kepada saya." Lalu dinamakannya anak itu Dan.
7 Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
Bilha mengandung lagi dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.
8 Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle to have children like my older sister, but truly I have a son.” So she named him Naphtali, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘struggle’].
Kata Rahel, "Saya telah berjuang mati-matian melawan kakak saya, dan saya menang," karena itu dinamakannya anak itu Naftali.
9 When Leah realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any more children, she took her female slave, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob to be another wife for him.
Ketika Lea menyadari bahwa ia tidak bisa mendapat anak lagi, diberikannya hambanya, yaitu Zilpa, kepada Yakub untuk menjadi istri.
10 Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
Zilpa melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.
11 Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
Lea berkata, "Saya beruntung," lalu dinamakannya anak itu Gad.
12 Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
Zilpa melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki lagi,
13 Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
dan Lea berkata, "Alangkah berbahagia saya! Sekarang semua wanita akan mengatakan saya berbahagia." Karena itu dinamakannya anak itu Asyer.
14 When it was time to harvest wheat, Reuben went out into the fields and saw some (mandrakes/plants that women eat to help them to become pregnant). He brought some of them to his mother Leah. But Rachel saw them and said to Leah, “Please give me some of those plants that your son brought to you!”
Pada musim panen gandum, Ruben pergi ke padang dan ditemukannya di sana sejenis tanaman obat, lalu dibawanya kepada Lea, ibunya. Rahel berkata kepada Lea, "Berikanlah kepada saya sedikit dari tanaman obat yang ditemukan anakmu itu."
15 But Leah said to her, “No! (It was bad that you stole my husband!/Is it not bad enough that you stole my husband?) [RHQ] Now (are you going to take my son’s mandrake plants?/You want to take my son’s mandrake plants also, [so that you can become pregnant]!)” [RHQ] So Rachel said, “All right, Jacob can sleep with you tonight, if you give me some of your son’s mandrake plants.” [So Leah (agreed/gave her some)].
Jawab Lea, "Belum cukupkah engkau mengambil suami saya? Sekarang engkau malahan mencoba pula mengambil tanaman obat yang ditemukan anak saya." Kata Rahel, "Jika engkau mau memberikan tanaman obat anakmu itu kepada saya, engkau boleh tidur dengan Yakub malam ini."
16 When Jacob returned from the wheat fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. She said, “You must sleep with me tonight, because I gave Rachel some of my son’s mandrakes [that enable women to become pregnant], to pay her for allowing us to do that.” So Jacob slept with her that night.
Ketika Yakub pulang ke rumah dari padang sore itu, Lea menyambutnya sambil berkata, "Tidurlah bersama saya malam ini karena saya telah membayar untuk itu dengan tanaman obat dari anak saya." Lalu Yakub bersetubuh dengan dia pada malam itu.
17 God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
Allah mengabulkan doa Lea, dan ia mengandung lalu melahirkan anak yang kelima.
18 Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my slave to my husband to be another wife for him.” So she named him Issachar, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘reward’].
Kata Lea, "Allah telah memberi saya upah sebab saya telah menyerahkan Zilpa kepada suami saya," karena itu dinamakannya anaknya itu Isakhar.
19 Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
Lea mengandung lagi dan melahirkan anaknya yang keenam.
20 Leah said, “God has given me a precious gift. (This time/Now) my husband will honor/respect me, because I have given birth to six sons for him.” So she named him Zebulon, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘accepted gift’].
Katanya, "Allah telah memberikan kepada saya hadiah yang indah sekali. Sekarang suami saya akan menghargai saya, sebab saya telah melahirkan enam anak laki-laki," karena itu dinamakannya anaknya itu Zebulon.
21 Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
Sesudah itu Lea melahirkan seorang anak perempuan yang dinamakannya Dina.
22 Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
Lalu ingatlah Allah akan Rahel; Allah mengabulkan doanya dan memungkinkan dia melahirkan anak.
23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, “God has caused that no longer will I be ashamed [for not having children].”
Maka Rahel mengandung dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Kata Rahel, "Allah telah menghilangkan kehinaan saya.
24 She named him Joseph, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘may he give another’] and she said, ‘want Yahweh to give me another son.’
Semoga TUHAN memberikan kepada saya anak laki-laki seorang lagi." Karena itu dinamakannya anaknya itu Yusuf.
25 After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Now allow me to quit working for you and let me return to my own land.
Sesudah Rahel melahirkan Yusuf, Yakub berkata kepada Laban, "Izinkanlah saya pulang ke negeri saya.
26 You know the work that I have done for you [for a long time to get my wives]. So let me take my wives and my children, and leave.”
Biarkan saya pergi membawa kedua istri serta anak-anak saya. Mereka telah saya peroleh dengan bekerja pada Paman. Paman tahu, saya sudah bekerja keras sekali."
27 But Laban said to him, “If you are pleased with me, stay here, because I have found out by performing a magic ritual that Yahweh has blessed me because of what you have done for me.
Laban berkata kepadanya, "Dengar dulu: Saya mendapat ramalan bahwa TUHAN telah memberkati saya karena engkau.
28 Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”
Katakan saja berapa yang kauminta."
29 Jacob replied, “You know how I have worked for you, and you know that your livestock have increased greatly as I have taken care of them.
Jawab Yakub, "Paman sendiri tahu saya sudah bekerja keras sekali, dan ternak Paman bertambah banyak karena pemeliharaan saya.
30 You had only a few animals before I came here. But now you have very many, and Yahweh has caused them to increase greatly in number wherever I have taken them. But now I need to start taking care of the needs of my own family.”
Sebelum saya datang, harta milik Paman tidak seberapa, tetapi sekarang Paman sudah kaya. TUHAN telah memberkati Paman karena saya. Sekarang sudah waktunya saya bekerja untuk keluarga saya sendiri."
31 Laban replied, “What do you want me to give you?” Jacob replied, “I do not want you to pay me anything. But if you will do this one thing for me, I will continue to take care of your flocks and protect them.
Kata Laban, "Jadi apa yang harus kuberikan kepadamu?" Yakub menjawab, "Tak usah Paman berikan apa-apa. Saya akan tetap memelihara ternak Paman, asal Paman setuju dengan usul saya ini:
32 Allow me to go and look at all of your flocks today and remove from them all the speckled sheep, all the spotted sheep, and every dark-colored lamb, all the goats that are speckled, and all the goats that are spotted, [and keep them for myself]. They will be my wages.
Izinkan saya pada hari ini berjalan di tengah-tengah segala kawanan kambing domba Paman, dan mengambil setiap anak domba yang hitam, dan juga setiap kambing muda yang belang atau berbintik-bintik. Itu saja upah yang saya inginkan.
33 In that way, in the future, you will be able to know whether I have been honest regarding what you have paid me. If any of my goats are neither speckled or spotted, or if any of my lambs are not dark-colored, you will know that I have stolen them from you.”
Di kemudian hari dengan mudah dapat Paman ketahui apakah saya telah berlaku jujur. Bilamana Paman datang untuk memeriksa upah saya, dan melihat ada kambing yang tidak berbintik-bintik atau belang, atau domba yang tidak hitam, Paman akan tahu bahwa binatang itu telah saya curi."
34 Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
Laban menjawab, "Setuju! Kita akan melakukan apa yang kauusulkan itu!"
35 But that same day Laban removed all the male goats that had black and white stripes on them or were spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled or spotted, all the goats that were partly white, and all the dark-colored lambs. He separated them and told his sons to take care of them.
Tetapi pada hari itu Laban memisahkan semua kambing jantan yang loreng atau belang dan semua kambing betina yang belang, berbintik-bintik, atau yang ada noda putihnya; ia juga memisahkan semua domba yang hitam. Kemudian disuruhnya anak-anaknya mengurus binatang-binatang itu,
36 Then he took these flocks and walked a distance of three days, in order that he could be that far from Jacob. Jacob continued to take care of the rest of Laban’s flocks.
lalu pergilah mereka dengan binatang-binatang itu menjauhi Yakub, jaraknya tiga hari perjalanan. Sisa dari kawanan kambing domba milik Laban dipelihara oleh Yakub.
37 Then Jacob cut some branches of (poplar, almond, and plane trees/three kinds of trees that had white wood). He peeled strips of bark from the branches, so that where the bark had been peeled off, the branches were light in color.
Kemudian Yakub mengambil dahan-dahan hijau dari pohon hawar, pohon badam dan pohon berangan, dan mengupas sebagian dari kulitnya sehingga menjadi belang-belang.
38 Then he placed the peeled branches in the troughs where they put the water for the animals to drink, so that the branches would be in front of the flocks when they came to drink.
Diletakkannya dahan-dahan itu di depan kawanan kambing itu, di dalam tempat minumnya, karena binatang-binatang itu suka kawin waktu hendak minum.
39 The animals also mated in front of the branches, and eventually they gave birth to animals that were speckled, or to animals that were spotted, or to animals that had black and white stripes on them.
Jadi jika kambing-kambing itu kawin di depan dahan-dahan itu, anaknya loreng atau belang atau berbintik-bintik.
40 Furthermore, Jacob separated the female sheep in his flock from the other sheep and goats in Laban’s flock. And when his female sheep mated, he made them look toward the animals that belonged to Laban that had black and white stripes on them, and the dark-colored animals. He did that so that the female sheep would give birth to animals that were striped or dark-colored. By doing that, he made bigger flocks for himself, and he kept them separate from Laban’s flocks.
Kemudian Yakub mengambil domba-domba lalu menghadapkannya ke arah kambing-kambing yang loreng dan hitam. Dengan cara itu ia memperoleh kawanan binatangnya sendiri dan memisahkannya dari kawanan binatang Laban.
41 In addition, whenever the stronger female sheep were ready to mate, Jacob put some of those peeled branches in the troughs in front of them, so that they would mate in front of the branches.
Apabila binatang-binatang yang kuat sedang kawin, Yakub meletakkan dahan-dahan yang dikupasnya itu di depan mereka, di dalam tempat minumnya.
42 But when weak animals were ready to mate, he did not put the branches in their troughs. So the weak ones became part of Laban’s flock, and the strong ones became part of Jacob’s flock.
Tetapi dahan-dahan itu tidak diletakkannya di depan binatang-binatang yang lemah. Jadi, semua binatang yang putih itu lemah, dan itulah milik Laban, sedangkan semua binatang yang hitam, belang dan berbintik-bintik itu kuat, dan itulah milik Yakub.
43 As a result, Jacob became very rich. He owned many large flocks of sheep and goats, and many male and female slaves, and many camels and donkeys.
Dengan demikian Yakub menjadi kaya raya. Dia mempunyai banyak kawanan kambing domba, unta, keledai dan hamba-hamba.
