Gênesis 29
1 Então pôs-se Jacob a pé, e foi-se à terra dos filhos de oriente;
And Jacob started and went to the land of the east to Laban, the son of Bathuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebecca, mother of Jacob and Esau.
2 E olhou, e eis um poço no campo, e eis três rebanhos de ovelhas que estavam deitados junto a ele; porque daquele poço davam de beber aos rebanhos: e havia uma grande pedra sobre a boca do poço.
And he looks, and behold! a well in the plain; and there were there three flocks of sheep resting at it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, but there was a great stone at the mouth of the well.
3 E ajuntavam ali todos os rebanhos, e removiam a pedra de sobre a boca do poço, e davam de beber às ovelhas: e tornavam a pôr a pedra sobre a boca do poço, no seu lugar.
And there were all the flocks gathered, and they used to roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the flocks, and set the stone again in its place on the mouth of the well.
4 E disse-lhes Jacob: Meus irmãos, de onde sois? E disseram: Somos de Haran.
And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are you? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
5 E ele lhes disse: Conheceis a Labão, filho de Nachor? E disseram: Conhecemos.
And he said to them, Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do know [him].
6 Disse-lhes mais: Está ele bem? E disseram: Está bem, e eis aqui Rachel sua filha, que vem com as ovelhas.
And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.
7 E ele disse: Eis que ainda é muito dia, não é tempo de ajuntar o gado; dai de beber às ovelhas, e ide, apascentai-as.
And Jacob said, it is yet high day, it is not yet time that the flocks be gathered together; water you the flocks, and depart and feed them.
8 E disseram: Não podemos, até que todos os rebanhos se ajuntem, e removam a pedra de sobre a boca do poço, para que demos de beber às ovelhas.
And they said, We shall not be able, until all the shepherds be gathered together, and they shall roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, then we will water the flocks.
9 Estando ele ainda falando com eles, veio Rachel com as ovelhas de seu pai: porque ela era pastora.
While he was yet speaking to them, behold, Rachel the daughter of Laban came with her father's sheep, for she fed the sheep of her father.
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 boca do poço, e deu de beber às 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 came and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother.
11 E Jacob beijou a Rachel, e levantou a sua voz, e chorou.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and wept.
12 E Jacob anunciou a Rachel que era irmão de seu pai, e que era filho de Rebeca: então ela correu, e o anunciou a seu pai.
And he told Rachel that he was the near relative of her father, and the son of Rebecca; and she ran and reported to her father according to these words.
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 à sua casa: e contou ele a Labão todas estas coisas.
And it came to pass when Laban heard the name of Jacob, his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him, and brought him into his house; and he told Laban all these sayings.
14 Então Labão disse-lhe: Verdadeiramente és tu o meu osso e a minha carne. E ficou com ele um mês inteiro.
And Laban said to him, You are of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
15 Depois disse Labão a Jacob: Porque tu és meu irmão, as de servir-me de graça? declara-me qual será o teu salário.
And Laban said to Jacob, Surely you shall not serve me for nothing, because you are my brother; tell me what your reward is to be.
16 E Labão tinha duas filhas; o nome da mais velha era Leah, e o nome da menor Rachel.
Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
17 Leah porém tinha olhos tenros, mas Rachel era de formoso semblante e formosa à vista.
And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
18 E Jacob amava a Rachel, e disse: Sete anos te servirei por Rachel, tua filha menor.
And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.
19 Então disse Labão: Melhor é que eu t'a dê, do que eu a dê a outro varão: fica comigo.
And Laban said to him, [It is] better that I should give her to you, than that I should give her to another man; dwell with me.
20 Assim serviu Jacob sete anos por Rachel; e foram aos seus olhos como poucos dias, pelo muito que a amava.
And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.
21 E disse Jacob a Labão: Dá-me minha mulher, porque meus dias são cumpridos, para que eu entre a ela.
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 daquele lugar, e fez um banquete.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a marriage-feast.
23 E aconteceu, à tarde, que tomou Leah sua filha, e trouxe-lha: e entrou a ela.
And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to her.
24 E Labão deu sua serva Zilpah a Leah sua filha por serva.
And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
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 was morning, and behold it was Lea; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this that you have done to me? did I not serve you for Rachel? and therefore have you deceived me?
26 E disse Labão: Não se faz assim no nosso lugar, que a menor se dê antes da primogênita.
And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
27 Cumpre a semana desta; então te daremos também a outra, pelo serviço que ainda outros sete anos servires comigo.
Fulfil then her sevens, and I will give to you her also in return for your labour, which you labour with me, yet seven other years.
28 E Jacob fez assim: e cumpriu a semana desta: então lhe deu por mulher Rachel sua filha.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
29 E Labão deu sua serva Bilha por serva a Rachel, sua filha.
And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
30 E entrou também a Rachel, e amou também a Rachel mais do que a Leah; e serviu com ele ainda outros sete anos.
And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
31 Vendo pois o Senhor que Leah era aborrecida, abriu a sua madre; porém Rachel era estéril.
And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, 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 atendeu à minha aflição, por isso agora me amará o meu marido.
And Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then 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 também este; e chamou o seu nome Simeão.
And she conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to me this one also; and she called his name, Simeon.
34 E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Agora esta vez se ajuntará meu marido comigo, porque três filhos lhe tenho parido: por isso chamou o seu nome Levi.
And she conceived yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; therefore she called his name, Levi.
35 E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Esta vez louvarei ao Senhor. Por isso chamou o seu nome Judá: e cessou de parir.
And having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased bearing.
