Gênesis 29
1 Então poz-se Jacob a pé, e foi-se á terra dos filhos de oriente;
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the sons of the east.
2 E olhou, e eis um poço no campo, e eis tres rebanhos d'ovelhas que estavam deitados junto a elle; porque d'aquelle poço davam de beber aos rebanhos: e havia uma grande pedra sobre a bocca do poço.
And he looked, and, behold, a well in the field. And, lo, three flocks of sheep were lying there by it, for they watered the flocks out of that well. And the stone upon the well's mouth was great.
3 E ajuntavam ali todos os rebanhos, e removiam a pedra de sobre a bocca do poço, e davam de beber ás ovelhas: e tornavam a pôr a pedra sobre a bocca do poço, no seu logar.
And all the flocks were gathered there. And they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in its place.
4 E disse-lhes Jacob: Meus irmãos, d'onde sois? E disseram: Somos de Haran.
And Jacob said to them, My brothers, where are ye from? And they said, We are of Haran.
5 E elle lhes disse: Conheceis a Labão, filho de Nachor? E disseram: Conhecemos.
And he said to them, Do ye know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6 Disse-lhes mais: Está elle bem? E disseram: Está bem, e eis aqui Rachel sua filha, que vem com as ovelhas.
And he said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well. And, behold, Rachel his daughter comes with the sheep.
7 E elle disse: Eis que ainda é muito dia, não é tempo de ajuntar o gado; dae de beber ás ovelhas, e ide, apascentae-as.
And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together. Water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
8 E disseram: Não podemos, até que todos os rebanhos se ajuntem, e removam a pedra de sobre a bocca do poço, para que demos de beber ás ovelhas.
And they said, We cannot until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep.
9 Estando elle ainda fallando com elles, veiu Rachel com as ovelhas de seu pae: porque ella era pastora.
While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.
10 E aconteceu que, vendo Jacob a Rachel, filha de Labão, irmão de sua mãe, e as ovelhas de Labão, irmão de sua mãe, chegou Jacob, e revolveu a pedra de sobre a bocca do poço, e deu de beber ás ovelhas de Labão, irmão de sua mãe.
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.
11 E Jacob beijou a Rachel, e levantou a sua voz, e chorou.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 E Jacob annunciou a Rachel que era irmão de seu pae, e que era filho de Rebecca: então ella correu, e o annunciou a seu pae.
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 E aconteceu que, ouvindo Labão as novas de Jacob, filho de sua irmã, correu-lhe ao encontro, e abraçou-o, e beijou-o, e levou-o á sua casa: e contou elle a Labão todas estas coisas.
And it came to pass, when Laban heard the news 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 Então Labão disse-lhe: Verdadeiramente és tu o meu osso e a minha carne. E ficou com elle um mez inteiro.
And Laban said to him, Surely thou are my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
15 Depois disse Labão a Jacob: Porque tu és meu irmão, has de servir-me de graça? declara-me qual será o teu salario.
And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou are my brother, should thou therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16 E Labão tinha duas filhas; o nome da mais velha era Leah, e o nome da menor Rachel.
And Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Leah porém tinha olhos tenros, mas Rachel era de formoso semblante e formosa á vista.
And Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
18 E Jacob amava a Rachel, e disse: Sete annos te servirei por Rachel, tua filha menor.
And Jacob loved Rachel, and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Então disse Labão: Melhor é que eu t'a dê, do que eu a dê a outro varão: fica commigo.
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man. Abide with me.
20 Assim serviu Jacob sete annos por Rachel; e foram aos seus olhos como poucos dias, pelo muito que a amava.
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel. And they seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
21 E disse Jacob a Labão: Dá-me minha mulher, porque meus dias são cumpridos, para que eu entre a ella.
And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
22 Então ajuntou Labão a todos os varões d'aquelle logar, e fez um banquete.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 E aconteceu, á tarde, que tomou Leah sua filha, e trouxe-lh'a: e entrou a ella.
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 E Labão deu sua serva Zilpah a Leah sua filha por serva.
And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.
25 E aconteceu pela manhã, eis que era Leah; pelo que disse a Labão: Porque me fizeste isso? não te tenho servido por Rachel? porque pois me enganaste?
And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou have done to me? Did I not serve with thee for Rachel? Why then have thou beguiled me?
26 E disse Labão: Não se faz assim no nosso logar, que a menor se dê antes da primogenita.
And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Cumpre a semana d'esta; então te daremos tambem a outra, pelo serviço que ainda outros sete annos servires commigo.
Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shall serve with me yet seven other years.
28 E Jacob fez assim: e cumpriu a semana d'esta: então lhe deu por mulher Rachel sua filha.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. And he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife.
29 E Labão deu sua serva Bilha por serva a Rachel, sua filha.
And Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter, Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid.
30 E entrou tambem a Rachel, e amou tambem a Rachel mais do que a Leah; e serviu com elle ainda outros sete annos.
And he also went in to Rachel, and also he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31 Vendo pois o Senhor que Leah era aborrecida, abriu a sua madre; porém Rachel era esteril.
And Jehovah saw that Leah was regarded inferior, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32 E concebeu Leah, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Ruben, porque disse: Porque o Senhor attendeu á minha afflicção, por isso agora me amará o meu marido.
And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben. For she said, Because Jehovah has looked upon my affliction, for now my husband will love me.
33 E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Porquanto o Senhor ouviu que eu era aborrecida, me deu tambem este; e chamou o seu nome Simeão.
And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I am regarded inferior, he has therefore given me this son also. And she called his name Simeon.
34 E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Agora esta vez se ajuntará meu marido commigo, porque tres filhos lhe tenho parido: por isso chamou o seu nome Levi.
And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons. Therefore his name was called Levi.
35 E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Esta vez louvarei ao Senhor. Por isso chamou o seu nome Judah: e cessou de parir.
And she conceived again, and bore a son. And she said, This time I will praise Jehovah. Therefore she called his name Judah. And she left off bearing.
