< 창세기 30 >

1 라헬이 자기가 야곱에게 아들을 낳지 못함을 보고 그 형을 투기하여 야곱에게 이르되 `나로 자식을 낳게 하라 그렇지 아니하면 내가 죽겠노라'
When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I will die.”
2 야곱이 라헬에게 노를 발하여 가로되 `그대로 성태치 못하게 하시는 이는 하나님이시니 내가 하나님을 대신하겠느냐?'
Jacob's anger burned against Rachel. He said, “Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?”
3 라헬이 가로되 `나의 여종 빌하에게로 들어가라 그가 아들을 낳아 내 무릎에 두리니 그러면 나도 그를 인하여 자식을 얻겠노라' 하고
She said, “See, there is my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her, so she might give birth to children on my knees, and I will have children by her.”
4 그 시녀 빌하를 남편에게 첩으로 주매 야곱이 그에게로 들어갔더니
So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob slept with her.
5 빌하가 잉태하여 야곱에게 아들을 낳은지라
Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.
6 라헬이 가로되 `하나님이 내 억울함을 푸시려고 내 소리를 들으사 내게 아들을 주셨다' 하고 이로 인하여 그 이름을 단이라 하였으며
Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me, and he has heard my voice and given me a son.” For this reason she called his name Dan.
7 라헬의 시녀 빌하가 다시 잉태하여 둘째 아들을 야곱에게 낳으매
Bilhah, Rachel's servant, conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
8 라헬이 가로되 `내가 형과 크게 경쟁하여 이기었다' 하고 그 이름을 납달리라 하였더라
Rachel said, “With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister and have prevailed.” 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 stopped having children, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
10 레아의 시녀 실바가 야곱에게 아들을 낳으매
Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore Jacob a son.
11 레아가 가로되 `복되도다' 하고 그 이름을 갓이라 하였으며
Leah said, “This is fortunate!” so she called his name Gad.
12 레아의 시녀 실바가 둘째 아들을 야곱에게 낳으매
Then Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore Jacob a second son.
13 레아가 가로되 `기쁘도다 모든 딸들이 나를 기쁜 자라 하리로다' 하고 그 이름을 아셀이라 하였더라
Leah said, “I am happy! For the daughters will call me happy.” So she called his name Asher.
14 맥추 때에 르우벤이 나가서 들에서 합환채를 얻어 어미 레아에게 드렸더니 라헬이 레아에게 이르되 `형의 아들의 합환채를 청구하노라'
Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field. He brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Give me some 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
Leah said to her, “Is it a small matter to you, that you have taken away my husband? Do you now want to take away my son's mandrakes, too?” Rachel said, “Then he will sleep with you tonight, in exchange 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
Jacob came from the field in the evening. Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must sleep with me tonight, for I have hired you with my son's mandrakes.” So Jacob slept with Leah that night.
17 하나님이 레아를 들으셨으므로 그가 잉태하여 다섯째 아들을 야곱에게 낳은지라
God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.
18 레아가 가로되 `내가 내 시녀를 남편에게 주었으므로 하나님이 내게 그 값을 주셨다' 하고 그 이름을 잇사갈이라 하였으며
Leah said, “God has given me my wages, because I gave my servant woman to my husband.” She called his name Issachar.
19 레아가 다시 잉태하여 여섯째 아들을 야곱에게 낳은지라
Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
20 레아가 가로되 `하나님이 네게 후한 선물을 주시도다 내가 남편에게 여섯 아들을 낳았으니 이제는 그가 나와 함께 거하리라' 하고 그 이름을 스불론이라 하였으며
Leah said, “God has given me a good gift. Now my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” She called his name Zebulun.
21 그 후에 그가 딸을 낳고 그 이름을 디나라 하였더라
Afterwards she bore a daughter and called her name Dinah.
22 하나님이 라헬을 생각하신지라 하나님이 그를 들으시고 그 태를 여신고로
God called Rachel to mind and listened to her. He caused her to become pregnant.
23 그가 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 `하나님이 나의 부끄러움을 씻으셨다' 하고
She conceived and bore a son. She said, “God has taken away my shame.”
24 그 이름을 요셉이라 하니 여호와는 다시 다른 아들을 내게 더하시기를 원하노라 함이었더라
She called his name Joseph, saying, “Yahweh has added to me another son.”
25 라헬이 요셉을 낳은 때에 야곱이 라반에게 이르되 `나를 보내어 내 고향 내 본토로 가게 하시되
After Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, so that I may go to my own home 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 the service I have given you.”
27 라반이 그에게 이르되 `여호와께서 너로 인하여 내게 복 주신줄을 내가 깨달았노니 네가 나를 사랑스럽게 여기거든 유하라'
Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, wait, because I have learned by using divination that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake.”
28 또 가로되 `네 품삯을 정하라 내가 그것을 주리라'
Then he said, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
29 야곱이 그에게 이르되 `내가 어떻게 외삼촌을 섬겼는지, 어떻게 외삼촌의 짐승을 쳤는지 외삼촌이 아시나이다
Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared 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 you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I worked. Now when will I provide for my own household 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
So Laban said, “What will I pay you?” Jacob said, “You will not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
Let me walk through all your flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted sheep, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. These will be my wages.
My integrity will testify for me later on, when you come to check on my wages. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, if any are found with me, will be considered to be stolen.”
Laban said, “Agreed. Let it be according to your word.”
That day Laban removed the male goats that were striped and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
Laban also put three days' journey between himself and Jacob. So Jacob kept tending the rest of Laban's flocks.
Jacob took fresh cut branches of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane tree, and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white inner wood appear that was in the sticks.
Then he set the sticks that he had peeled in front of the flocks, in front of the watering troughs where they came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
The flocks bred in front of the sticks; and the flocks produced striped, speckled, and spotted young.
Jacob separated out these lambs, but made the rest of them face toward the striped animals and all the black sheep in the flock of Laban. Then he separated out his flocks for himself alone and did not put them together with Laban's flocks.
Whenever the stronger sheep in the flock were breeding, then Jacob would lay the sticks in the watering troughs before the eyes of the flock, so that they might conceive among the sticks.
But when the feebler animals in the flock came, he did not put the sticks in front of them. So the feebler animals were Laban's, and the stronger were Jacob's.
The man became very prosperous. He had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
