< 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 bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said to 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 stead, who hath withheld from thee 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 to 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, for a wife: and Jacob went in to her.
And 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
And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore she called his name Dan.
7 라헬의 시녀 빌하가 다시 잉태하여 둘째 아들을 야곱에게 낳으매
And Bilhah, Rachel's maid, conceived again, and bore 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 for a wife.
10 레아의 시녀 실바가 야곱에게 아들을 낳으매
And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bore Jacob a son.
11 레아가 가로되 `복되도다' 하고 그 이름을 갓이라 하였으며
And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
12 레아의 시녀 실바가 둘째 아들을 야곱에게 낳으매
And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bore 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 to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy 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 to her, [Is it] a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy 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 from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in to me; for surely I have hired thee 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 to Leah, and she conceived, and bore 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 hath 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 bore 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 hath endowed me [with] a good dower; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
21 그 후에 그가 딸을 낳고 그 이름을 디나라 하였더라
And afterwards she bore 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 rendered her fruitful.
23 그가 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 `하나님이 나의 부끄러움을 씻으셨다' 하고
And she conceived, and bore a son; and said, God hath 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 will 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 borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my 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 thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
27 라반이 그에게 이르되 `여호와께서 너로 인하여 내게 복 주신줄을 내가 깨달았노니 네가 나를 사랑스럽게 여기거든 유하라'
And Laban said to him, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thine eyes, [tarry: for] I have learned by experience, that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
28 또 가로되 `네 품삯을 정하라 내가 그것을 주리라'
And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give [it].
29 야곱이 그에게 이르되 `내가 어떻게 외삼촌을 섬겼는지, 어떻게 외삼촌의 짐승을 쳤는지 외삼촌이 아시나이다
And he said to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle were 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 thou hadst before I [came], and it is [now] increased to a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for my 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 thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed [and] keep thy flock:
I will pass through all thy 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 thy face: every one that [is] not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be accounted stolen with me.
And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
And he removed that day the he-goats that were ring-streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted; every one that had [some] white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave [them] into the hands 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 to him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which [was] in the rods.
And he set the rods, which he had peeled, 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 ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.
And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks towards the ring-streaked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban: and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not with Laban's cattle.
And it came to pass, whenever the stronger cattle conceived, 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 many cattle, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses.
