Genesis 30
1 And Rachel seeth that she hath not borne to Jacob, and Rachel is envious of her sister, and saith unto Jacob, 'Give me sons, and if there is none — 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 And Jacob's anger burneth against Rachel, and he saith, 'Am I in stead 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 saith, 'Lo, my handmaid Bilhah, go in unto her, and she doth bear on my knees, and I am built up, even I, from 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 giveth to him Bilhah her maid-servant for a wife, and Jacob goeth 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 conceiveth, and beareth to Jacob a son,
辟拉就怀孕，给雅各生了一个儿子。
6 and Rachel saith, 'God hath decided for me, and also hath hearkened to my voice, and giveth to me a son;' therefore hath she called 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 maid-servant, conceiveth again, and beareth 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 and Rachel saith, 'With wrestlings of God I have wrestled with my sister, yea, I have prevailed;' and she calleth his name Napthali.
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 And Leah seeth that she hath ceased from bearing, and she taketh Zilpah her maid-servant, and giveth her to Jacob for a 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 maid-servant, beareth to Jacob a son,
利亚的使女悉帕给雅各生了一个儿子。
11 and Leah saith, 'A troop is coming;' and she calleth his name Gad.
利亚说：“万幸！”于是给他起名叫迦得。
12 And Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant, beareth 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 saith, 'Because of my happiness, for daughters have pronounced me happy;' and she calleth 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 And Reuben goeth in the days of wheat-harvest, and findeth love-apples in the field, and bringeth them in unto Leah, his mother, and Rachel saith unto Leah, 'Give to me, I pray thee, of the love-apples 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 saith to her, 'Is thy taking my husband a little thing, that thou hast taken also the love-apples of my son?' and Rachel saith, 'Therefore doth he lie with thee to-night, for thy son's love-apples.'
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 cometh in from the field at evening; and Leah goeth to meet him, and saith, 'Unto me dost thou come in, for hiring I have hired thee with my son's love-apples;' and he lieth with her during 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 hearkeneth unto Leah, and she conceiveth, and beareth to Jacob a son, a fifth,
神应允了利亚，她就怀孕，给雅各生了第五个儿子。
18 and Leah saith, 'God hath given my hire, because I have given my maid-servant to my husband;' and she calleth 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 conceive again doth Leah, and she beareth a sixth son to Jacob,
利亚又怀孕，给雅各生了第六个儿子。
20 and Leah saith, 'God hath endowed me — a good dowry; this time doth my husband dwell with me, for I have borne to him six sons;' and she calleth his name Zebulun;
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 hath she born a daughter, and calleth her name Dinah.
后来又生了一个女儿，给她起名叫底拿。
22 And God remembereth Rachel, and God hearkeneth unto her, and openeth her womb,
神顾念拉结，应允了她，使她能生育。
23 and she conceiveth and beareth a son, and saith, 'God hath gathered up my reproach;'
拉结怀孕生子，说：“神除去了我的羞耻”，
24 and she calleth his name Joseph, saying, 'Jehovah is adding to 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 cometh to pass, when Rachel hath borne Joseph, that Jacob saith unto Laban, 'Send me away, and I go 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 give up my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and I go; for thou — thou hast known my service which 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 saith unto him, 'If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes — I have observed diligently that Jehovah doth bless 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 He saith also, 'Define thy hire to me, and I give.'
又说：“请你定你的工价，我就给你。”
29 And he saith unto him, 'Thou — thou hast known that which I have served thee [in], and that which thy substance was 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 is] little which thou hast had at my appearance, and it breaketh forth into a multitude, and Jehovah blesseth thee at my coming; and now, when do I make, I also, for mine 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 saith, 'What do I give to thee?' And Jacob saith, 'Thou dost not give me anything; if thou do for me this thing, I turn back; I have delight; thy flock I watch;
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 I pass through all thy flock to-day to turn aside from thence every sheep speckled and spotted, and every brown sheep among the lambs, and speckled and spotted among the goats — and it hath been my hire;
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 hath answered for me in the day to come, when it cometh in for my hire before thy face; — every one which is not speckled and spotted among [my] goats, and brown among [my] lambs — it is stolen 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 And Laban saith, 'Lo, O that it were according to thy word;'
拉班说：“好啊！我情愿照着你的话行。”
35 and he turneth aside during that day the ring-streaked and the spotted he-goats, and all the speckled and the spotted she-goats, every one that [hath] white in it, and every brown one among the lambs, and he giveth 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 and setteth a journey of three days between himself and Jacob; and Jacob is feeding the rest of the flock of Laban.
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 And Jacob taketh to himself a rod of fresh poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut, and doth peel in them white peelings, making bare the white that [is] 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 setteth up the rods which he hath peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs (when the flock cometh in to drink), over-against the flock, that they may conceive in their coming 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 flocks conceive at the rods, and the flock beareth ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted ones.
羊对着枝子配合，就生下有纹的、有点的、有斑的来。
40 And the lambs hath Jacob parted, and he putteth the face of the flock towards the ring-streaked, also all the brown in the flock of Laban, and he setteth his own droves by themselves, and hath not set them near Laban's flock.
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 And it hath come to pass whenever the strong ones of the flock conceive, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, to cause them to conceive by 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 and when the flock is feeble, he doth not set [them]; and the feeble ones have been Laban's, and 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 And the man increaseth very exceedingly, and hath many flocks, 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。
