< 창세기 30 >
1 라헬이 자기가 야곱에게 아들을 낳지 못함을 보고 그 형을 투기하여 야곱에게 이르되 `나로 자식을 낳게 하라 그렇지 아니하면 내가 죽겠노라'
And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
2 야곱이 라헬에게 노를 발하여 가로되 `그대로 성태치 못하게 하시는 이는 하나님이시니 내가 하나님을 대신하겠느냐?'
And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's position, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?
3 라헬이 가로되 `나의 여종 빌하에게로 들어가라 그가 아들을 낳아 내 무릎에 두리니 그러면 나도 그를 인하여 자식을 얻겠노라' 하고
And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
4 그 시녀 빌하를 남편에게 첩으로 주매 야곱이 그에게로 들어갔더니
And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
6 라헬이 가로되 `하나님이 내 억울함을 푸시려고 내 소리를 들으사 내게 아들을 주셨다' 하고 이로 인하여 그 이름을 단이라 하였으며
And Rachel said, God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
7 라헬의 시녀 빌하가 다시 잉태하여 둘째 아들을 야곱에게 낳으매
And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
8 라헬이 가로되 `내가 형과 크게 경쟁하여 이기었다' 하고 그 이름을 납달리라 하였더라
And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
9 레아가 자기의 생산이 멈춤을 보고 그 시녀 실바를 취하여 야곱에게 주어 첩을 삼게 하였더니
When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
10 레아의 시녀 실바가 야곱에게 아들을 낳으매
And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
11 레아가 가로되 `복되도다' 하고 그 이름을 갓이라 하였으며
And Leah said, A troop comes: and she called his name Gad.
12 레아의 시녀 실바가 둘째 아들을 야곱에게 낳으매
And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
13 레아가 가로되 `기쁘도다 모든 딸들이 나를 기쁜 자라 하리로다' 하고 그 이름을 아셀이라 하였더라
And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
14 맥추 때에 르우벤이 나가서 들에서 합환채를 얻어 어미 레아에게 드렸더니 라헬이 레아에게 이르되 `형의 아들의 합환채를 청구하노라'
And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray you, of your son's mandrakes.
15 레아가 그에게 이르되 `네가 내 남편을 빼앗은 것이 작은 일이냐? 네가 내 아들의 합환채도 빼앗고자 하느냐?' 라헬이 가로되 `그러면 형의 아들의 합환채 대신에 오늘밤에 내 남편이 형과 동침하리라' 하리라
And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that you have taken my husband? and would you take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with you to night for your son's mandrakes.
16 저물 때에 야곱이 들에서 돌아오매 레아가 나와서 그를 영접하며 이르되 `내게로 들어오라 내가 내 아들의 합환채로 당신을 샀노라' 그 밤에 야곱이 그와 동침하였더라
And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, You must come in unto me; for surely I have hired you with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
17 하나님이 레아를 들으셨으므로 그가 잉태하여 다섯째 아들을 야곱에게 낳은지라
And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
18 레아가 가로되 `내가 내 시녀를 남편에게 주었으므로 하나님이 내게 그 값을 주셨다' 하고 그 이름을 잇사갈이라 하였으며
And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
19 레아가 다시 잉태하여 여섯째 아들을 야곱에게 낳은지라
And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
20 레아가 가로되 `하나님이 네게 후한 선물을 주시도다 내가 남편에게 여섯 아들을 낳았으니 이제는 그가 나와 함께 거하리라' 하고 그 이름을 스불론이라 하였으며
And Leah said, God has imbued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
21 그 후에 그가 딸을 낳고 그 이름을 디나라 하였더라
And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
22 하나님이 라헬을 생각하신지라 하나님이 그를 들으시고 그 태를 여신고로
And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
23 그가 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 `하나님이 나의 부끄러움을 씻으셨다' 하고
And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God has taken away my reproach:
24 그 이름을 요셉이라 하니 여호와는 다시 다른 아들을 내게 더하시기를 원하노라 함이었더라
And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
25 라헬이 요셉을 낳은 때에 야곱이 라반에게 이르되 `나를 보내어 내 고향 내 본토로 가게 하시되
And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
26 내가 외삼촌에게서 일하고 얻은 처자를 내게 주어 나로 가게 하소서 내가 외삼촌께 한 일은 외삼촌이 아시나이다'
Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, and let me go: for you know my service which I have done you.
27 라반이 그에게 이르되 `여호와께서 너로 인하여 내게 복 주신줄을 내가 깨달았노니 네가 나를 사랑스럽게 여기거든 유하라'
And Laban said unto him, I pray you, if I have found favour in your eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.
28 또 가로되 `네 품삯을 정하라 내가 그것을 주리라'
And he said, Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.
29 야곱이 그에게 이르되 `내가 어떻게 외삼촌을 섬겼는지, 어떻게 외삼촌의 짐승을 쳤는지 외삼촌이 아시나이다
And he said unto him, You know how I have served you, and how your cattle was with me.
30 내가 오기 전에는 외삼촌의 소유가 적더니 번성하여 떼를 이루었나이다 나의 공력을 따라 여호와께서 외삼촌에게 복을 주셨나이다 그러나 나는 어느 때에나 내 집을 세우리이까?'
For it was little which you had before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD has blessed you since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
31 라반이 가로되 내가 무엇으로 네게 주랴 야곱이 가로되 외삼촌께서 아무 것도 내게 주실 것이 아니라 나를 위하여 이 일을 행하시면 내가 다시 외삼촌의 양떼를 먹이고 지키리이다
And he said, What shall I give you? And Jacob said, You shall not give me any thing: if you will do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep your flock.
I will pass through all your flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before your face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to your word.
And he removed that day the he goats that were striped with bands and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
And he set three days' journey between himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and stripped white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
And he set the rods which he had stripped before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle striped with bands, speckled, and spotted.
And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped with bands, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
And it came to pass, whenever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and male servants, and camels, and asses.
