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]!”
Ketika Rahel menyadari bahwa dirinya mandul, dia merasa iri kepada kakaknya, Lea. Lalu dia berkata kepada Yakub, “Berikanlah aku anak! Kalau tidak, lebih baik aku mati saja!”
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!”
Mendengar itu, Yakub menjadi sangat marah dan berkata, “Memangnya aku ini Allah?! Dialah yang sudah membuat kamu mandul! Bukan aku!”
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).”
Jawab Rahel, “Ini budakku, Bilha! Ambillah dia dan tidurlah dengannya, supaya dia melahirkan seorang anak yang nantinya kita anggap sebagai anak kita.”
4 So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
Yakub pun setuju, dan Rahel memberikan budaknya Bilha kepada suaminya sebagai istri. Yakub tidur dengan Bilha,
5 She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
lalu Bilha mengandung dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki bagi Yakub.
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’].
Maka berkatalah Rahel, “Allah sudah membenarkan aku dan mendengar permohonanku. Dia sudah memberikan kepadaku seorang anak laki-laki!” Itulah sebabnya dia menamai anak itu Dan.
7 Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
Lalu Bilha hamil lagi dan melahirkan anak laki-laki yang kedua.
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’].
Berkatalah Rahel, “Aku sudah berjuang keras melawan kakakku, dan akhirnya aku menang.” Itulah sebabnya dia menamai 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 dirinya sudah lama tidak hamil lagi, dia memberikan budaknya, Zilpa, kepada suaminya untuk diperistri.
10 Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
Lalu Zilpa hamil dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki bagi Yakub.
11 Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
Lea berkata, “Aku sungguh beruntung.” Maka dia menamai anak itu Gad.
12 Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
Sesudah itu Zilpa melahirkan lagi seorang anak laki-laki.
13 Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
Lea berkata, “Betapa bahagianya aku. Perempuan-perempuan akan mengatakan bahwa aku bahagia.” Maka dia menamai 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 berjalan-jalan dan menemukan tanaman mandragora di ladang, lalu membawanya kepada ibunya, Lea. Berkatalah Rahel kepada Lea, “Bolehkah aku minta beberapa mandragora yang dibawa anakmu?”
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, “Apa belum cukup kamu mengambil suamiku? Sekarang kamu masih berani meminta mandragora yang dibawakan anakku untukku!” Rahel menjawab, “Kalau begitu, sebagai gantinya, biarlah malam ini Yakub tidur denganmu, dan berikanlah kepadaku mandragora yang dibawa anakmu itu.”
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.
Petang harinya, ketika Yakub pulang dari ladang, Lea menyambut dia dan berkata, “Malam ini kamu harus tidur denganku, karena aku sudah memberikan mandragora kepada Rahel sebagai bayarannya.” Maka malam itu, Yakub tidur dengan Lea.
17 God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
Allah menjawab doa Lea, dia mengandung lagi dan melahirkan anak laki-laki yang kelima bagi Yakub.
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’].
Lea pun berkata, “Allah sudah memberi upah kepadaku karena aku memberikan budakku kepada suamiku.” Itulah sebabnya Lea menamai anak itu Isakar.
19 Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
Lalu Lea mengandung lagi dan melahirkan anak laki-laki yang keenam bagi Yakub.
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’].
Lea berkata, “Allah sudah memberiku suatu pemberian yang luar biasa. Kali ini, suamiku pasti akan menghargaiku karena aku sudah memberinya enam anak laki-laki.” Maka dia menamai anak itu Zebulon.
21 Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
Sesudah itu, Lea melahirkan seorang anak perempuan dan menamainya Dina.
22 Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
Lalu Allah mendengar dan menjawab permohonan Rahel, sehingga Allah membuatnya bisa hamil.
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].”
Rahel pun mengandung dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Rahel berkata, “Allah sudah menghapus aib pada diriku.”
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.’
Maka dia menamai anaknya itu Yusuf, karena dia berkata, “Semoga TUHAN memberiku seorang anak laki-laki lagi.”
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 menemui Laban dan berkata, “Paman, izinkanlah aku kembali ke tanah kelahiranku.
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 aku membawa istri-istri dan anak-anakku, yang aku peroleh karena bekerja padamu. Paman tahu bahwa selama ini aku sudah bekerja keras untukmu.”
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.
Tetapi Laban menjawab, “Kalau kamu berkenan, tinggallah di sini. Aku tahu melalui ramalan bahwa selama ini TUHAN memberkatiku karena kamu bekerja padaku.
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 upah yang kamu mau. Aku siap membayarnya.”
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 bagaimana aku sudah bekerja keras untukmu, dan bagaimana keadaan kawanan ternak milikmu selama aku mengurusnya.
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 aku datang, harta kekayaan Paman sedikit, tetapi sekarang sudah berlipat ganda banyaknya. TUHAN sudah memberkatimu di mana pun aku bekerja. Jadi, sekarang sudah waktunya aku bekerja memenuhi kebutuhan keluargaku 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.
Laban bertanya, “Kalau begitu, apa yang harus aku berikan kepadamu untuk tetap bekerja bagiku di sini?” Jawab Yakub, “Paman tidak perlu memberikan apa-apa kepadaku. Tetapi kalau Paman setuju dengan usulanku, aku akan terus mengurus kawanan ternak Paman.
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.
Biarlah hari ini aku memisahkan dari antara kawanan ternakmu setiap domba yang berbintik-bintik atau berbelang-belang, setiap anak domba yang berbulu hitam, dan setiap kambing yang berbintik-bintik atau berbelang-belang. Biarlah hewan-hewan itu menjadi upahku.
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, Paman bisa membuktikan kejujuranku. Paman bisa datang memeriksa kawanan ternakku. Kalau ada kambing yang tidak berbintik atau berbelang-belang, atau domba yang tidak berwarna hitam, Paman berhak menganggapku sudah mencuri hewan-hewan itu darimu.”
34 Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
Jawab Laban, “Baiklah, aku setuju!”
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.
Namun, pada hari itu Laban memisahkan semua kambing jantan dan betina yang berbintik-bintik atau berbelang-belang, yang ada warna putih pada bulunya, dan semua anak domba yang berbulu hitam. Dia menyerahkan ternak itu kepada anak-anak laki-lakinya untuk dijaga.
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 anak-anak Laban membawa kawanan ternak itu menjauh dari Yakub dan dari kawanan ternak Laban yang masih dijaga Yakub. Jarak perjalanan antara mereka dengan Yakub adalah tiga hari.
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 memotong dahan dari tiga jenis pohon dan mengupas sebagian kulit kayunya sampai ke dalam, sehingga dahan-dahan tersebut kelihatan bergaris-garis putih.
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.
Dia menaruh dahan-dahan itu di dalam palungan tempat air minum kawanan ternak, sehingga hewan ternak melihat dahan-dahan itu ketika minum. Binatang-binatang biasanya kawin pada waktu datang 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.
Ketika hewan ternak itu kawin di depan dahan-dahan yang bergaris-garis, maka bulu anak-anaknya yang kemudian lahir menjadi bergaris-garis, berbintik-bintik, atau berbelang-belang.
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.
Lalu Yakub memisahkan domba-domba yang baru lahir itu. Pada musim kawin, Yakub membuat kawanan kambing domba melihat ke arah kawanan yang berbelang-belang atau berwarna gelap, sehingga bulu binatang-binatang yang kemudian lahir menjadi berwarna. Dengan cara ini, dia mulai mengumpulkan kawanan ternaknya sendiri, terpisah dari kawanan ternak 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.
Saat kambing dan domba betina yang sehat sedang berahi, Yakub selalu meletakkan dahan-dahan itu di palungan di hadapan kawanan itu, sehingga mereka kawin di dekat dahan-dahan tersebut.
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.
Akan tetapi, Yakub tidak menaruh dahan-dahan itu di depan hewan ternak yang kurang sehat. Dengan demikian, binatang-binatang yang lahir dari induk yang kurang sehat menjadi milik Laban, sedangkan yang lahir dari induk yang sehat menjadi 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.
Akhirnya, Yakub menjadi sangat kaya. Dia memiliki banyak ternak, budak laki-laki dan perempuan, unta, serta keledai.
