Kejadian 29
1 Kemudian berangkatlah Yakub dari situ dan pergi ke negeri Bani Timur.
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
2 Ketika ia memandang sekelilingnya, dilihatnya ada sebuah sumur di padang, dan ada tiga kumpulan kambing domba berbaring di dekatnya, sebab dari sumur itulah orang memberi minum kumpulan-kumpulan kambing domba itu. Adapun batu penutup sumur itu besar;
He looked, and saw a well in the field, and saw three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well’s mouth was large.
3 dan apabila segala kumpulan kambing domba itu digiring berkumpul ke sana, maka gembala-gembala menggulingkan batu itu dari mulut sumur, lalu kambing domba itu diberi minum; kemudian dikembalikanlah batu itu lagi ke mulut sumur itu.
There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone back on the well’s mouth in its place.
4 Bertanyalah Yakub kepada mereka: "Saudara-saudara, dari manakah kamu ini?" Jawab mereka: "Kami ini dari Haran."
Jacob said to them, “My relatives, where are you from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
5 Lagi katanya kepada mereka: "Kenalkah kamu Laban, cucu Nahor?" Jawab mereka: "Kami kenal."
He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
6 Selanjutnya katanya kepada mereka: "Selamatkah ia?" Jawab mereka: "Selamat! Tetapi lihat, itu datang anaknya perempuan, Rahel, dengan kambing dombanya."
He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.”
7 Lalu kata Yakub: "Hari masih siang, belum waktunya untuk mengumpulkan ternak; berilah minum kambing dombamu itu, kemudian pergilah menggembalakannya lagi."
He said, “Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.”
8 Tetapi jawab mereka: "Kami tidak dapat melakukan itu selama segala kumpulan binatang itu belum berkumpul; barulah batu itu digulingkan dari mulut sumur dan kami memberi minum kambing domba kami."
They said, “We cannot, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth. Then we will water the sheep.”
9 Selagi ia berkata-kata dengan mereka, datanglah Rahel dengan kambing domba ayahnya, sebab dialah yang menggembalakannya.
While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them.
10 Ketika Yakub melihat Rahel, anak Laban saudara ibunya, serta kambing domba Laban, ia datang mendekat, lalu menggulingkan batu itu dari mulut sumur, dan memberi minum kambing domba itu.
When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
11 Kemudian Yakub mencium Rahel serta menangis dengan suara keras.
Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 Lalu Yakub menceritakan kepada Rahel, bahwa ia sanak saudara ayah Rahel, dan anak Ribka. Maka berlarilah Rahel menceritakannya kepada ayahnya.
Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.
13 Segera sesudah Laban mendengar kabar tentang Yakub, anak saudaranya itu, berlarilah ia menyongsong dia, lalu mendekap dan mencium dia, kemudian membawanya ke rumahnya. Maka Yakub menceritakan segala hal ihwalnya kepada Laban.
When Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.
14 Kata Laban kepadanya: "Sesungguhnya engkau sedarah sedaging dengan aku." Maka tinggallah Yakub padanya genap sebulan lamanya.
Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month.
15 Kemudian berkatalah Laban kepada Yakub: "Masakan karena engkau adalah sanak saudaraku, engkau bekerja padaku dengan cuma-cuma? Katakanlah kepadaku apa yang patut menjadi upahmu."
Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
16 Laban mempunyai dua anak perempuan; yang lebih tua namanya Lea dan yang lebih muda namanya Rahel.
Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Lea tidak berseri matanya, tetapi Rahel itu elok sikapnya dan cantik parasnya.
Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.
18 Yakub cinta kepada Rahel, sebab itu ia berkata: "Aku mau bekerja padamu tujuh tahun lamanya untuk mendapat Rahel, anakmu yang lebih muda itu."
Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
19 Sahut Laban: "Lebih baiklah ia kuberikan kepadamu dari pada kepada orang lain; maka tinggallah padaku."
Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
20 Jadi bekerjalah Yakub tujuh tahun lamanya untuk mendapat Rahel itu, tetapi yang tujuh tahun itu dianggapnya seperti beberapa hari saja, karena cintanya kepada Rahel.
Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
21 Sesudah itu berkatalah Yakub kepada Laban: "Berikanlah kepadaku bakal isteriku itu, sebab jangka waktuku telah genap, supaya aku akan kawin dengan dia."
Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”
22 Lalu Laban mengundang semua orang di tempat itu, dan mengadakan perjamuan.
Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 Tetapi pada waktu malam diambilnyalah Lea, anaknya, lalu dibawanya kepada Yakub. Maka Yakubpun menghampiri dia.
In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.
24 Lagipula Laban memberikan Zilpa, budaknya perempuan, kepada Lea, anaknya itu, menjadi budaknya.
Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.
25 Tetapi pada waktu pagi tampaklah bahwa itu Lea! Lalu berkatalah Yakub kepada Laban: "Apakah yang kauperbuat terhadap aku ini? Bukankah untuk mendapat Rahel aku bekerja padamu? Mengapa engkau menipu aku?"
In the morning, behold, it was Leah! He said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did not I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?”
26 Jawab Laban: "Tidak biasa orang berbuat demikian di tempat kami ini, mengawinkan adiknya lebih dahulu dari pada kakaknya.
Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Genapilah dahulu tujuh hari perkawinanmu dengan anakku ini; kemudian anakku yang lainpun akan diberikan kepadamu sebagai upah, asal engkau bekerja pula padaku tujuh tahun lagi."
Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me for seven more years.”
28 Maka Yakub berbuat demikian; ia menggenapi ketujuh hari perkawinannya dengan Lea, kemudian Laban memberikan kepadanya Rahel, anaknya itu, menjadi isterinya.
Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
29 Lagipula Laban memberikan Bilha, budaknya perempuan, kepada Rahel, anaknya itu, menjadi budaknya.
Laban gave Bilhah, his servant, to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.
30 Yakub menghampiri Rahel juga, malah ia lebih cinta kepada Rahel dari pada kepada Lea. Demikianlah ia bekerja pula pada Laban tujuh tahun lagi.
He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him seven more years.
31 Ketika TUHAN melihat, bahwa Lea tidak dicintai, dibuka-Nyalah kandungannya, tetapi Rahel mandul.
The LORD saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32 Lea mengandung, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, dan menamainya Ruben, sebab katanya: "Sesungguhnya TUHAN telah memperhatikan kesengsaraanku; sekarang tentulah aku akan dicintai oleh suamiku."
Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because the LORD has looked at my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”
33 Mengandung pulalah ia, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, maka ia berkata: "Sesungguhnya, TUHAN telah mendengar, bahwa aku tidak dicintai, lalu diberikan-Nya pula anak ini kepadaku." Maka ia menamai anak itu Simeon.
She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon.
34 Mengandung pulalah ia, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, maka ia berkata: "Sekali ini suamiku akan lebih erat kepadaku, karena aku telah melahirkan tiga anak laki-laki baginya." Itulah sebabnya ia menamai anak itu Lewi.
She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
35 Mengandung pulalah ia, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, maka ia berkata: "Sekali ini aku akan bersyukur kepada TUHAN." Itulah sebabnya ia menamai anak itu Yehuda. Sesudah itu ia tidak melahirkan lagi.
She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
