Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the east.
Então poz-se Jacob a pé, e foi-se á terra dos filhos de oriente;
2 As he looked, he saw a well in the field, and, behold, three flocks of sheep were lying there by it. For out of that well they would water the flocks, and the stone over the well's mouth was large.
E olhou, e eis um poço no campo, e eis tres rebanhos d'ovelhas que estavam deitados junto a elle; porque d'aquelle poço davam de beber aos rebanhos: e havia uma grande pedra sobre a bocca do poço.
3 When all the flocks had gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone from the well's mouth and water the sheep, and then put the stone again over the well's mouth, back in its place.
E ajuntavam ali todos os rebanhos, e removiam a pedra de sobre a bocca do poço, e davam de beber ás ovelhas: e tornavam a pôr a pedra sobre a bocca do poço, no seu logar.
4 Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?” They replied, “We are from Haran.”
E disse-lhes Jacob: Meus irmãos, d'onde sois? E disseram: Somos de Haran.
5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
E elle lhes disse: Conheceis a Labão, filho de Nachor? E disseram: Conhecemos.
6 He said to them, “Is he well?” They said, “He is well, and, look there, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep.”
Disse-lhes mais: Está elle bem? E disseram: Está bem, e eis aqui Rachel sua filha, que vem com as ovelhas.
7 Jacob said, “See, it is the middle of the day. It is not the time for the flocks to be gathered together. You should water the sheep and then go and let them graze.”
E elle disse: Eis que ainda é muito dia, não é tempo de ajuntar o gado; dae de beber ás ovelhas, e ide, apascentae-as.
8 They said, “We cannot water them until all the flocks are gathered together. The men will then roll the stone from the well's mouth, and we will water the sheep.”
E disseram: Não podemos, até que todos os rebanhos se ajuntem, e removam a pedra de sobre a bocca do poço, para que demos de beber ás ovelhas.
9 While Jacob was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was tending them.
Estando elle ainda fallando com elles, veiu Rachel com as ovelhas de seu pae: porque ella era pastora.
10 When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, Jacob came over, rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock 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 bocca do poço, e deu de beber ás ovelhas de Labão, irmão de sua mãe.
11 Jacob kissed Rachel and wept loudly.
E Jacob beijou a Rachel, e levantou a sua voz, e chorou.
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's relative, and that he was Rebekah's son. Then she ran and told her father.
E Jacob annunciou a Rachel que era irmão de seu pae, e que era filho de Rebecca: então ella correu, e o annunciou a seu pae.
13 When Laban heard the news about Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him, embraced him, kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told 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 á sua casa: e contou elle a Labão todas estas coisas.
14 Laban said to him, “You are indeed my bone and my flesh.” Then Jacob stayed with him for about one month.
Então Labão disse-lhe: Verdadeiramente és tu o meu osso e a minha carne. E ficou com elle um mez inteiro.
15 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Should you serve me for nothing because you are my relative? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
Depois disse Labão a Jacob: Porque tu és meu irmão, has de servir-me de graça? declara-me qual será o teu salario.
16 Now Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
E Labão tinha duas filhas; o nome da mais velha era Leah, e o nome da menor Rachel.
17 Leah's eyes were tender, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.
Leah porém tinha olhos tenros, mas Rachel era de formoso semblante e formosa á vista.
18 Jacob loved Rachel, so he said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
E Jacob amava a Rachel, e disse: Sete annos te servirei por Rachel, tua filha menor.
19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
Então disse Labão: Melhor é que eu t'a dê, do que eu a dê a outro varão: fica commigo.
20 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him only a few days, for the love he had for her.
Assim serviu Jacob sete annos por Rachel; e foram aos seus olhos como poucos dias, pelo muito que a amava.
21 Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days have been completed—so that I may marry her!”
E disse Jacob a Labão: Dá-me minha mulher, porque meus dias são cumpridos, para que eu entre a ella.
22 So Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.
Então ajuntou Labão a todos os varões d'aquelle logar, e fez um banquete.
23 In the evening, Laban took Leah his daughter and brought her to Jacob, who slept with her.
E aconteceu, á tarde, que tomou Leah sua filha, e trouxe-lh'a: e entrou a ella.
24 Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah, to be her servant.
E Labão deu sua serva Zilpah a Leah sua filha por serva.
25 In the morning, behold, it was Leah! Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve you for Rachel? Why then have you tricked 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 Laban said, “It is not our custom to give the younger daughter before the firstborn.
E disse Labão: Não se faz assim no nosso logar, que a menor se dê antes da primogenita.
27 Complete the bridal week of this daughter, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years.”
Cumpre a semana d'esta; então te daremos tambem a outra, pelo serviço que ainda outros sete annos servires commigo.
28 Jacob did so, and completed Leah's week. Then Laban gave him Rachel his daughter as his wife also.
E Jacob fez assim: e cumpriu a semana d'esta: então lhe deu por mulher Rachel sua filha.
29 Laban also gave Bilhah to his daughter Rachel, to be her servant.
E Labão deu sua serva Bilha por serva a Rachel, sua filha.
30 So Jacob slept with Rachel, too, but he loved Rachel more than Leah. So Jacob served Laban for seven more years.
E entrou tambem a Rachel, e amou tambem a Rachel mais do que a Leah; e serviu com elle ainda outros sete annos.
31 Yahweh saw that Leah was not loved, so he opened her womb, but Rachel was childless.
Vendo pois o Senhor que Leah era aborrecida, abriu a sua madre; porém Rachel era esteril.
32 Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben. For she said, “Because Yahweh has looked upon my affliction; surely now my husband will love me.”
E concebeu Leah, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Ruben, porque disse: Porque o Senhor attendeu á minha afflicção, por isso agora me amará o meu marido.
33 Then she conceived again and bore a son. She said, “Because Yahweh has heard that I am unloved, he has therefore given me this son also,” and she called his name Simeon.
E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Porquanto o Senhor ouviu que eu era aborrecida, me deu tambem este; e chamou o seu nome Simeão.
34 Then she conceived again and bore a son. She said, “Now this time will my husband be attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Agora esta vez se ajuntará meu marido commigo, porque tres filhos lhe tenho parido: por isso chamou o seu nome Levi.
35 She conceived again and bore a son. She said, “This time I will praise Yahweh.” Therefore she called his name Judah; then she stopped having children.
E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Esta vez louvarei ao Senhor. Por isso chamou o seu nome Judah: e cessou de parir.
