< 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 bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said to 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 stead, who hath withheld from thee 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 to 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, for a wife: and Jacob went in to her.
5 E concebeu Bilha, e pariu a Jacob um filho.
And Bilhah conceived, and bore 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 hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore she called 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 bore 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 for a wife.
10 E pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um filho a Jacob.
And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bore Jacob a son.
11 Então disse Leah: Vem uma turba: e chamou o seu nome Gad.
And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
12 Depois pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um segundo filho a Jacob.
And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bore 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 to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy 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 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 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 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 E ouviu Deus a Leah, e concebeu, e pariu um quinto filho.
And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore 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 hath 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 bore 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 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 E depois pariu uma filha, e chamou o seu nome Dinah.
And afterwards she bore 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 rendered her fruitful.
23 E ella concebeu, e pariu um filho, e disse: Tirou-me Deus a minha vergonha.
And she conceived, and bore a son; and said, God hath 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 will 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 borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my 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 thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
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 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 E disse mais: Determina-me o teu salario, que t'o darei.
And he said, Appoint me thy 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 to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle were 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 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 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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
34 Então disse Labão: Eis que oxalá seja conforme á tua palavra.
And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 ring-streaked, 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 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.
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 conceived, 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 many cattle, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses.
