Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
Yakub meneruskan perjalanannya dan pergi ke negeri di sebelah timur Kanaan.
2 And he looked, and behold, a well in the field, and lo, there [were] three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone [was] upon the well's mouth.
Tiba-tiba dilihatnya sebuah sumur di padang, dan di dekatnya berbaringlah tiga kawanan kambing domba yang biasanya diberi minum di situ. Sumur itu tertutup batu besar.
3 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in its place.
Kalau semua kawanan kambing domba sudah berkumpul di tempat itu, para gembala menggulingkan batu itu ke samping, lalu kambing domba itu diberi minum. Setelah itu para gembala menutup sumur itu kembali.
4 And Jacob said to them, My brethren, whence [are] ye? And they said, We [are] from Haran.
Lalu bertanyalah Yakub kepada para gembala yang ada di situ, "Hai kawan, dari mana kalian ini?" "Dari Haran," jawab mereka.
5 And he said to them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? and they said, We know [him].
Yakub bertanya lagi, "Kenalkah kalian kepada Laban anak Nahor?" "Kenal," jawab mereka.
6 And he said to them, [Is] he well? And they said, [He is] well: and behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
"Bagaimana keadaannya?" tanya Yakub lagi. "Baik-baik saja," jawab mereka. "Lihatlah, itu anaknya perempuan yang bernama Rahel. Ia datang membawa kawanan kambing domba ayahnya."
7 And he said, Lo, [it is] yet high day, neither [is it] time that the cattle should be collected: water ye the sheep, and go [and] feed [them].
Kata Yakub, "Hari masih siang dan belum tiba waktunya kambing domba dimasukkan ke dalam kandang. Mengapa binatang-binatang itu tidak kalian beri minum, lalu kalian biarkan makan rumput lagi?"
8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks are collected, and [till] they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
Jawab mereka, "Kami baru dapat memberi minum domba-domba itu kalau semua kawanan domba sudah berkumpul di sini dan batu penutup sudah digulingkan."
9 And while he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
Selagi Yakub berbicara dengan mereka, Rahel datang dengan kawanan kambing dombanya.
10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother; that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
Ketika Yakub melihat Rahel bersama kawanannya itu, pergilah Yakub ke sumur itu, lalu menggulingkan batu penutupnya ke samping dan memberi minum kawanan itu.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Kemudian ia mencium Rahel, dan menangis karena terharu.
12 And Jacob told Rachel that he [was] her father's brother, and that he [was] Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father.
Katanya kepada Rahel, "Saya anak Ribka, saudara ayahmu." Lalu berlarilah Rahel pulang ke rumahnya untuk menceritakan hal itu kepada ayahnya.
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 kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
Ketika Laban mendengar berita tentang Yakub, kemanakannya itu, berlarilah ia hendak menemuinya. Laban memeluk Yakub dan menciumnya, lalu membawanya masuk ke dalam rumah. Setelah Yakub menceritakan segala hal ihwalnya kepada Laban,
14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou [art] my bone and my flesh: and he abode with him the space of a month.
Laban berkata, "Memang benar, engkau keluarga dekat dengan saya." Yakub tinggal di rumah itu sebulan penuh.
15 And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou [art] my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for naught? tell me, what [shall] thy wages [be]?
Pada suatu hari berkatalah Laban kepada Yakub, "Tidak patut engkau bekerja padaku dengan cuma-cuma, hanya karena engkau sanak saudaraku. Berapa upah yang kauinginkan?"
16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder [was] Leah, and the name of the younger [was] Rachel.
Adapun Laban mempunyai dua anak perempuan; yang sulung bernama Lea, dan adiknya bernama Rahel.
17 Leah [was] tender-eyed, but Rachel was beautiful and well-favored.
Lea matanya indah, sedangkan Rahel bertubuh molek dan berwajah cantik.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
Yakub telah jatuh cinta kepada Rahel, sebab itu ia menjawab kepada Laban, "Saya mau bekerja selama tujuh tahun jika Paman mengizinkan saya kawin dengan Rahel."
19 And Laban said, [It is] better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
Kata Laban, "Lebih baik saya berikan dia kepadamu daripada kepada orang lain; jadi tinggallah di sini."
20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him [but] a few days, for the love he had to her.
Maka bekerjalah Yakub selama tujuh tahun untuk mendapat Rahel, dan baginya tahun-tahun itu berlalu seperti beberapa hari saja, karena cintanya kepada gadis itu.
21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give [me] my wife (for my days are fulfilled) that I may go in to her.
Sesudah itu Yakub berkata kepada Laban, "Tujuh tahun sudah lewat; izinkanlah saya kawin dengan anak Paman."
22 And Laban assembled all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Lalu Laban mengadakan pesta perkawinan dan mengundang semua orang di kota itu.
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.
Tetapi pada malam itu, bukan Rahel, melainkan Lea yang diantarkan Laban kepada Yakub, dan Yakub bersetubuh dengan dia.
24 And Laban gave to his daughter Leah, Zilpah his maid [for] a handmaid.
(Laban memberikan hambanya perempuan yang bernama Zilpa kepada Lea, untuk menjadi hambanya.)
25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it [was] Leah: and he said to Laban, What [is] this thou hast done to me? did I not serve with thee for Rachel? why then hast thou deceived me?
Baru keesokan harinya Yakub mengetahui bahwa Lea yang dikawininya. Lalu pergilah Yakub kepada Laban dan berkata, "Mengapa Paman perlakukan saya begini? Bukankah saya bekerja untuk mendapat Rahel? Mengapa Paman menipu saya?"
26 And Laban said, it must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the first-born.
Laban menjawab, "Menurut adat di sini, adik tidak boleh kawin lebih dahulu daripada kakak.
27 Fulfill her week, and we will give thee this also, for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
Tunggulah sampai selesai pesta tujuh hari perkawinan, nanti saya berikan Rahel kepadamu juga, asal engkau mau bekerja tujuh tahun lagi."
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel, his daughter, for a wife also.
Yakub setuju, dan setelah pesta itu lewat, Laban memberikan kepadanya Rahel menjadi istrinya.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter, Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her maid.
(Laban memberikan hambanya perempuan yang bernama Bilha kepada Rahel, untuk menjadi hambanya.)
30 And he went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
Yakub bersetubuh dengan Rahel juga, dan ia lebih mencintai Rahel daripada Lea. Kemudian ia bekerja tujuh tahun lagi.
31 And when the LORD saw that Leah [was] hated, he made her fruitful: but Rachel [was] barren.
Ketika TUHAN melihat bahwa Lea tidak begitu dicintai seperti Rahel, TUHAN mengizinkan Lea melahirkan anak, tetapi Rahel tetap tidak mendapat anak.
32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
Lea mengandung lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Katanya, "TUHAN telah melihat kesusahan saya, dan sekarang suami saya akan mencintai saya." Lalu dinamakannya anaknya itu Ruben.
33 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I [was] hated, he hath therefore given me this [son] also: and she called his name Simeon.
Lea mengandung lagi lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Kata Lea, "TUHAN telah memberikan kepada saya anak ini pula karena didengarnya bahwa saya tidak dicintai." Lalu dinamakannya anaknya itu Simeon.
34 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time will my husband adhere to me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
Lea mengandung lagi lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Katanya, "Sekarang suami saya akan lebih terikat kepada saya karena saya telah melahirkan tiga anak laki-laki." Lalu dinamakannya anaknya itu Lewi.
35 And she conceived again, and bore a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah, and left bearing.
Kemudian Lea hamil lagi dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Katanya, "Kali ini saya akan memuji TUHAN." Lalu dinamakannya anaknya itu Yehuda. Sesudah itu Lea tidak melahirkan lagi.
