Kejadian 29
1 Kemudian berangkatlah Yakub dari situ dan pergi ke negeri Bani Timur.
And so Jacob, setting out, arrived in the eastern land.
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;
And he saw a well in a field, and also three flocks of sheep reclining near it. For the animals were watered from it, and its mouth was closed with a great stone.
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.
And the custom was, when all the sheep were gathered together, to roll away the stone. And when the flocks had been refreshed, they placed it over the mouth of the well again.
4 Bertanyalah Yakub kepada mereka: "Saudara-saudara, dari manakah kamu ini?" Jawab mereka: "Kami ini dari Haran."
And he said to the shepherds, “Brothers, where are you from?” And they answered. “From Haran.”
5 Lagi katanya kepada mereka: "Kenalkah kamu Laban, cucu Nahor?" Jawab mereka: "Kami kenal."
And questioning them, he said, “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, “Is he well?” “He is very well,” they said. “And behold, his daughter Rachel approaches with his flock.”
7 Lalu kata Yakub: "Hari masih siang, belum waktunya untuk mengumpulkan ternak; berilah minum kambing dombamu itu, kemudian pergilah menggembalakannya lagi."
And Jacob said, “There is still much daylight remaining, and it is not time to return the flocks to the sheepfold. Give the sheep to drink first, and then lead them back to pasture.”
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 responded, “We cannot, until all the animals are gathered together and we remove the stone from the mouth of the well, so that we may water the flocks.”
9 Selagi ia berkata-kata dengan mereka, datanglah Rahel dengan kambing domba ayahnya, sebab dialah yang menggembalakannya.
They were still speaking, and behold, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep; for she pastured the flock.
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 had seen her, and he realized that she was his maternal first cousin, and that these were the sheep of his uncle Laban, he removed the stone which closed the well.
11 Kemudian Yakub mencium Rahel serta menangis dengan suara keras.
And having watered the flock, he kissed her. And lifting up his voice, he wept.
12 Lalu Yakub menceritakan kepada Rahel, bahwa ia sanak saudara ayah Rahel, dan anak Ribka. Maka berlarilah Rahel menceritakannya kepada ayahnya.
And he revealed to her that he was a brother of her father, and the son of Rebekah. And so, hurrying, she announced it to 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.
And when he had heard that Jacob, his sister’s son, had arrived, he ran to meet him. And embracing him, and kissing him heartily, he brought him into his house. But when he had heard the reasons for his journey,
14 Kata Laban kepadanya: "Sesungguhnya engkau sedarah sedaging dengan aku." Maka tinggallah Yakub padanya genap sebulan lamanya.
he responded, “You are my bone and my flesh.” And after the days of one month were completed,
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."
he said to him: “Though you are my brother, will you serve me for nothing? Tell me what wages you would accept.”
16 Laban mempunyai dua anak perempuan; yang lebih tua namanya Lea dan yang lebih muda namanya Rahel.
In truth, he had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah; and truly the younger was called Rachel.
17 Lea tidak berseri matanya, tetapi Rahel itu elok sikapnya dan cantik parasnya.
But while Leah was bleary-eyed, Rachel had an elegant appearance and was attractive to behold.
18 Yakub cinta kepada Rahel, sebab itu ia berkata: "Aku mau bekerja padamu tujuh tahun lamanya untuk mendapat Rahel, anakmu yang lebih muda itu."
And Jacob, loving her, said, “I will serve you for seven years, for your younger daughter Rachel.”
19 Sahut Laban: "Lebih baiklah ia kuberikan kepadamu dari pada kepada orang lain; maka tinggallah padaku."
Laban responded, “It is better that I give her to you than to another man; remain 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.
Therefore, Jacob served for seven years for Rachel. And these seemed like only a few days, because of the greatness of love.
21 Sesudah itu berkatalah Yakub kepada Laban: "Berikanlah kepadaku bakal isteriku itu, sebab jangka waktuku telah genap, supaya aku akan kawin dengan dia."
And he said to Laban, “Give my wife to me. For now the time has been fulfilled, so that I may go in to her.”
22 Lalu Laban mengundang semua orang di tempat itu, dan mengadakan perjamuan.
And he, having called a great crowd of his friends to the feast, agreed to the marriage.
23 Tetapi pada waktu malam diambilnyalah Lea, anaknya, lalu dibawanya kepada Yakub. Maka Yakubpun menghampiri dia.
And at night, he brought in his daughter Leah to him,
24 Lagipula Laban memberikan Zilpa, budaknya perempuan, kepada Lea, anaknya itu, menjadi budaknya.
giving his daughter a handmaid named Zilpah. After Jacob had gone in to her, according to custom, when morning had arrived, he saw Leah.
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?"
And he said to his father-in-law, “What is it that you intended to do? Did I not serve you for Rachel? Why have you deceived me?”
26 Jawab Laban: "Tidak biasa orang berbuat demikian di tempat kami ini, mengawinkan adiknya lebih dahulu dari pada kakaknya.
Laban responded, “It is not the practice in this place to give the younger in marriage first.
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."
Complete a week of days with this mating. And then I will give this one to you also, for the service that you will provide to me for another seven years.”
28 Maka Yakub berbuat demikian; ia menggenapi ketujuh hari perkawinannya dengan Lea, kemudian Laban memberikan kepadanya Rahel, anaknya itu, menjadi isterinya.
He agreed to his pleading. And after the week had passed, he took Rachel as a wife.
29 Lagipula Laban memberikan Bilha, budaknya perempuan, kepada Rahel, anaknya itu, menjadi budaknya.
To her, the father had given Bilhah as 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.
And, having at last obtained the marriage he desired, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and he served with him another seven years.
31 Ketika TUHAN melihat, bahwa Lea tidak dicintai, dibuka-Nyalah kandungannya, tetapi Rahel mandul.
But the Lord, seeing that he despised Leah, opened her womb, but her sister remained 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."
Having conceived, she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Reuben, saying: “The Lord saw my humiliation; 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.
And again she conceived and bore a son, and she said, “Because the Lord heard that I was treated with contempt, he has also given this one to me.” And she called his name 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.
And she conceived a third time, and she gave birth to another son, and she said: “Now likewise my husband will unite with me, because I have borne him three sons.” And because of this, she called his name 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.
A fourth time she conceived and bore a son, and she said, “Only now will I confess to the Lord.” And for this reason, she called him Judah. And she ceased from child-bearing.
