< Gênesis 30 >

1 Vendo pois Rachel que não paria filhos a Jacob, teve Rachel inveja de sua irmã, e disse a Jacob: Dá-me filhos, ou se não morro.
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 Então se accendeu a ira de Jacob contra Rachel, e disse: Estou eu no logar de Deus, que te impediu o fructo de teu ventre?
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 E ella disse: Eis aqui minha serva Bilha; entra a ella, para que pára sobre os meus joelhos, e eu tambem seja edificada d'ella.
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 Assim lhe deu a Bilha sua serva por mulher: e Jacob entrou a ella.
And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
5 E concebeu Bilha, e pariu a Jacob um filho.
And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
6 Então disse Rachel: Julgou-me Deus, e tambem ouviu a minha voz, e me deu um filho; por isso chamou o seu nome Dan.
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 E Bilha, serva de Rachel, concebeu outra vez, e pariu a Jacob o segundo filho.
And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
8 Então disse Rachel: Com luctas de Deus tenho luctado com minha irmã, tambem venci; e chamou o seu nome Naphtali.
And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
9 Vendo pois Leah que cessava de parir, tomou tambem a Zilpah sua serva, e deu-a a Jacob por mulher.
When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
10 E pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um filho a Jacob.
And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
11 Então disse Leah: Vem uma turba: e chamou o seu nome Gad.
And Leah said, A troop comes: and she called his name Gad.
12 Depois pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um segundo filho a Jacob.
And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
13 Então disse Leah: Para minha ventura; porque as filhas me terão por bemaventurada: e chamou o seu nome Asher.
And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
14 E foi Ruben nos dias da sega do trigo, e achou mandrágoras no campo. E trouxe-as a Leah, sua mãe. Então disse Rachel a Leah: Ora dá-me das mandrágoras do teu filho.
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 E ella lhe disse: É já pouco que hajas tomado o meu marido, tomarás tambem as mandrágoras do meu filho? Então disse Rachel: Por isso se deitará comtigo esta noite pelas mandrágoras de teu filho.
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 Vindo pois Jacob á tarde do campo, saiu-lhe Leah ao encontro, e disse: A mim entrarás, porque certamente te aluguei com as mandrágoras do meu filho. E deitou-se com ella aquella noite.
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 E ouviu Deus a Leah, e concebeu, e pariu um quinto filho.
And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
18 Então disse Leah: Deus me tem dado o meu galardão, pois tenho dado minha serva ao meu marido: e chamou o seu nome Issacar.
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 E Leah concebeu outra vez, e pariu a Jacob um sexto filho.
And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
20 E disse Leah: Deus me deu a mim uma boa dadiva; d'esta vez morará o meu marido commigo, porque lhe tenho parido seis filhos: e chamou o seu nome Zebulon.
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 E depois pariu uma filha, e chamou o seu nome Dinah.
And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
22 E lembrou-se Deus de Rachel, e Deus a ouviu, e abriu a sua madre,
And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
23 E ella concebeu, e pariu um filho, e disse: Tirou-me Deus a minha vergonha.
And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God has taken away my reproach:
24 E chamou o seu nome José, dizendo: O Senhor me accrescente outro filho.
And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
25 E aconteceu que, como Rachel pariu a José, disse Jacob a Labão: Deixa-me ir, que me vá ao meu logar, e á minha terra.
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 Dá-me as minhas mulheres, e os meus filhos, pelas quaes te tenho servido, e ir-me-hei; pois tu sabes o meu serviço, que te tenho feito.
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 Então lhe disse Labão: Se agora tenho achado graça em teus olhos, fica commigo. Tenho experimentado que o Senhor me abençoou por amor de ti.
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 E disse mais: Determina-me o teu salario, que t'o darei.
And he said, Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.
29 Então lhe disse: Tu sabes como te tenho servido, e como passou o teu gado commigo.
And he said unto him, You know how I have served you, and how your cattle was with me.
30 Porque o pouco que tinhas antes de mim, é augmentado até uma multidão: e o Senhor te tem abençoado por meu trabalho. Agora pois, quando hei-de trabalhar tambem por minha casa?
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 E disse elle: Que te darei? Então disse Jacob: Nada me darás; se me fizeres isto, tornarei a apascentar e a guardar o teu rebanho.
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.
32 Passarei hoje por todo o teu rebanho, separando d'elle todos os salpicados e malhados, e todos os morenos entre os cordeiros, e os malhados e salpicados entre as cabras: e isto será o meu salario.
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.
33 Assim testificará por mim a minha justiça no dia d'ámanhã, quando vieres e o meu salario estiver diante de tua face: tudo o que não for salpicado e malhado entre as cabras e moreno entre os cordeiros, ser-me-ha por furto.
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.
34 Então disse Labão: Eis que oxalá seja conforme á tua palavra.
And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to your word.
35 E separou n'aquelle mesmo dia os bodes listrados e malhados e todas as cabras salpicadas e malhadas, tudo em que havia brancura, e todo o moreno entre os cordeiros; e deu-os nas mãos dos seus filhos.
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.
36 E poz tres dias de caminho entre si e Jacob: e Jacob apascentava o resto dos rebanhos de Labão.
And he set three days' journey between himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
37 Então tomou Jacob varas verdes d'alamo, e d'aveleira e de castanheiro, e descascou n'ellas riscas brancas, descobrindo a brancura que nas varas havia,
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.
38 E poz estas varas, que tinha descascado, em frente do rebanho, nos canos e nas pias d'agua, aonde o rebanho vinha a beber, e conceberam vindo a beber.
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.
39 E concebia o rebanho diante das varas, e as ovelhas pariam listrados, salpicados e malhados.
And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle striped with bands, speckled, and spotted.
40 Então separou Jacob os cordeiros, e poz as faces do rebanho para os listrados, e todo o moreno entre o rebanho de Labão; e poz o seu rebanho á parte, e não o poz com o rebanho de Labão.
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.
41 E succedia que cada vez que concebiam as ovelhas fortes, punha Jacob as varas diante dos olhos do rebanho nos canos, para que concebessem diante das varas.
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.
42 Mas quando enfraqueceu o rebanho, não as poz. Assim as fracas eram de Labão, e as fortes de Jacob.
But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
43 E cresceu o varão em grande maneira, e teve muitos rebanhos, e servas, e servos, e camelos e jumentos.
And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and male servants, and camels, and asses.
