< 창세기 29 >
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
2 본즉 들에 우물이 있고 그 곁에 양 세 떼가 누웠으니 이는 목자들이 그 우물에서 물을 양떼에게 먹임이라 큰 돌로 우물 아구를 덮었다가
And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, see, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was on the well’s mouth.
3 모든 떼가 모이면 그들이 우물 아구에서 돌을 옮기고 양에게 물을 먹이고는 여전히 우물 아구 그 자리에 돌을 덮더라
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 on the well’s mouth in his place.
4 야곱이 그들에게 이르되 `나의 형제여 어디로서뇨?' 그들이 가로되 `하란에서로라'
And Jacob said to them, My brothers, from where be you? And they said, Of Haran are we.
5 야곱이 그들에게 이르되 `너희가 나홀의 손자 라반을 아느냐?' 그들이 가로되 `아노라'
And he said to them, Know you Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6 야곱이 그들에게 이르되 `그가 평안하냐?' 가로되 `평안하니라 딸 라헬이 지금 양을 몰고 오느니라'
And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter comes with the sheep.
7 야곱이 가로되 `해가 아직 높은즉 짐승 모일 때가 아니니 양에게 물을 먹이고 가서 뜯기라'
And he said, See, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water you the sheep, and go and feed them.
8 그들이 가로되 `우리가 그리하지 못하겠노라 떼가 다 모이고 목자들이 우물 아구에서 돌을 옮겨야 우리가 양에게 물을 먹이느리라'
And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
9 야곱이 그들과 말하는 중에 라헬이 그 아비의 양과 함께 오니 그가 그의 양들을 침이었더라
And while he yet spoke with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep; for she kept them.
10 야곱이 그 외삼촌 라반의 딸 라헬과 그 외삼촌의 양을 보고 나아가서 우물 아구에서 돌을 옮기고 외삼촌 라반의 양떼에게 물을 먹이고
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.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 그에게 자기가 그의 아비의 생질이요 리브가의 아들됨을 고하였더니 라헬이 달려가서 그 아비에게 고하매
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.
13 라반이 그 생질 야곱의 소식을 듣고 달려와서 그를 영접하여 안고 입맞추고 자기 집으로 인도하여 들이니 야곱이 자기의 모든 일을 라반에게 고하매
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.
14 라반이 가로되 `너는 참으로 나의 골육이로다' 하였더라 야곱이 한달을 그와 함께 거하더니
And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And he stayed with him the space of a month.
15 라반이 야곱에게 이르되 `네가 비록 나의 생질이나 어찌 공으로 내 일만 하겠느냐? 무엇이 네 보수겠느냐? 내게 고하라'
And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? tell me, what shall your wages be?
16 라반이 두 딸이 있으니 형의 이름은 레아요 아우의 이름은 라헬이라
And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 레아는 안력이 부족하고 라헬은 곱고 아리따우니
Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
18 야곱이 라헬을 연애하므로 대답하되 `내가 외삼촌의 작은 딸 라헬을 위하여 외삼촌에게 칠년을 봉사하리이다'
And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.
19 라반이 가로되 `그를 네게 주는 것이 타인에게 주는 것보다 나으니 나와 함께 있으라'
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
20 야곱이 라헬을 위하여 칠년 동안 라반을 봉사하였으나 그를 연애하는 까닭에 칠년을 수일 같이 여겼더라
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
21 야곱이 라반에게 이르되 `내 기한이 찼으니 내 아내를 내게 주소서 내가 그에게 들어가겠나이다'
And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 저녁에 그 딸 레아를 야곱에게로 데려가매 야곱이 그에게로 들어가니라
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.
24 라반이 또 그 여종 실바를 그 딸 레아에게 시녀로 주었더라
And Laban gave to his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
25 야곱이 아침에 보니 레아라 라반에게 이르되 `외삼촌이 어찌하여 내게 이같이 행하셨나이까? 내가 라헬을 위하여 외삼촌께 봉사하지 아니하였나이까? 외삼촌이 나를 속이심은 어찜이니이까?'
And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this you have done to me? did not I serve with you for Rachel? why then have you beguiled me?
26 라반이 가로되 `형보다 아우를 먼저 주는 것은 우리 지방에서 하지 아니하는 바이라
And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 이를 위하여 칠일을 채우라 우리가 그도 네게 주리니 네가 그를 위하여 또 칠년을 내게 봉사할지니라'
Fulfill her week, and we will give you this also for the service which you shall serve with me yet seven other years.
28 야곱이 그대로 하여 그 칠일을 채우매 라반이 딸 라헬도 그에게 아내로 주고
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29 라반이 또 그 여종 빌하를 그 딸 라헬에게 주어 시녀가 되게 하매
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
30 야곱이 또한 라헬에게로 들어갔고 그가 레아보다 라헬을 더 사랑하고 다시 칠년을 라반에게 봉사하였더라
And he went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31 여호와께서 레아에게 총이 없음을 보시고 그의 태를 여셨으나 라헬은 무자하였더라
And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
32 레아가 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 그 이름을 르우벤이라 하여 가로되 `여호와께서 나의 괴로움을 권고하셨으니 이제는 내 남편이 나를 사랑하리로다' 하였더라
And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD has looked on my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
33 그가 다시 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 `여호와께서 나의 총이 없음을 들으셨으므로 내게 이도 주셨도다' 하고 그 이름을 시므온이라 하였으며
And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD has heard I was hated, he has therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
34 그가 또 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 `내가 그에게 세 아들을 낳았으니 내 남편이 지금부터 나와 연합하리로다' 하고 그 이름을 레위라 하였으며
And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
35 그가 또 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 `내가 이제는 여호와를 찬송하리로다!' 하고 이로 인하여 그가 그 이름을 유다라 하였고 그의 생산이 멈추었더라
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.
