< Gênesis 29 >
1 E Jacó seguiu o seu caminho, e foi à terra dos filhos do 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 viu um poço no campo: e eis três rebanhos de ovelhas que estavam deitados próximo dele; porque daquele poço davam de beber aos gados: 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 juntavam-se ali todos os rebanhos; e revolviam a pedra de sobre a boca do poço, e davam de beber às ovelhas; e voltavam a pedra sobre a boca do poço a 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 Jacó: Irmãos meus, de onde sois? E eles responderam: De Harã somos.
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 Naor? E eles disseram: Sim, nós o conhecemos.
And he said to them, Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do know [him].
6 E ele lhes disse: Ele está bem? E eles disseram: Está bem; e eis que Raquel sua filha vem com o gado.
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 cedo do dia; não é hora de recolher o gado; dai de beber às ovelhas, e ide apascentá-las.
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 eles responderam: Não podemos, até que se juntem todos os gados, 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 ainda ele falando com eles Raquel veio com o gado de seu pai, porque ela era a 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 sucedeu que, quando Jacó viu Raquel, filha de Labão irmão de sua mãe, e as ovelhas de Labão, o irmão de sua mãe, chegou-se Jacó, e removeu a pedra de sobre a boca do poço, e deu de beber ao gado 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 Jacó beijou a Raquel, e levantou sua voz, e chorou.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and wept.
12 E Jacó disse a Raquel como ele era irmão de seu pai, e como era filho de Rebeca: e ela correu, e deu as novas 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 assim que ouviu Labão as novas de Jacó, filho de sua irmã, correu a recebê-lo, e abraçou-o, e beijou-o, e trouxe-lhe à sua casa: e ele contou 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 E Labão lhe disse: Certamente és osso meu e carne minha. E esteve com ele durante um mês.
And Laban said to him, You are of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
15 Então disse Labão a Jacó: Por ser tu meu irmão, me hás de servir de graça? Declara-me o que será 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 Lia, e o nome da mais nova, Raquel.
Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
17 E os olhos de Lia eram tenros, mas Raquel era de lindo semblante e de bela aparência.
And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
18 E Jacó amou a Raquel, e disse: Eu te servirei sete anos por Raquel tua filha mais nova.
And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.
19 E Labão respondeu: Melhor é que a dê a ti, que não que a dê a outro homem: fica-te 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 Jacó por Raquel sete anos: e pareceram-lhe como poucos dias, porque 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 Jacó a Labão: Dá-me minha mulher, porque meu tempo é cumprido para que me deite com ela.
And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
22 Então Labão juntou a todos os homens daquele lugar, e fez banquete.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a marriage-feast.
23 E sucedeu que à noite tomou sua filha Lia, e a trouxe; e ele se deitou com 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 deu Labão sua serva Zilpa à sua filha Lia por criada.
And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
25 E vinda a manhã, eis que era Lia: e ele disse a Labão: Que é isto que me fizeste? Não te servi por Raquel? Por que, 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 Labão respondeu: Não se faz assim em nosso lugar, que se dê a mais nova antes da mais velha.
And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
27 Cumpre a semana desta, e se te dará também a outra, pelo serviço que fizeres comigo por outros sete anos.
Fulfil then her sevens, and I will give to you her also in return for your labor, which you labor with me, yet seven other years.
28 E fez Jacó assim, e cumpriu a semana daquela; e ele lhe deu a sua filha Raquel por mulher.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
29 E deu Labão a Raquel sua filha por criada a sua serva Bila.
And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
30 E deitou-se também com Raquel: e amou-a também mais que a Lia: e serviu a 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 E viu o SENHOR que Lia era mal-amada, e abriu sua madre; mas Raquel era estéril.
And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
32 E concebeu Lia, e deu à luz um filho, e chamou seu nome Rúben, porque disse: Já que olhou o SENHOR minha aflição; agora, portanto, meu marido me amará.
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 deu à luz um filho, e disse: Porquanto ouviu o SENHOR que eu era mal-amada, me deu também este. E chamou 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 deu à luz um filho, e disse: Agora esta vez meu marido se apegará a mim, porque lhe dei três filhos; portanto, chamou 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 deu à luz um filho, e disse: Esta vez louvarei ao SENHOR; por isto chamou seu nome Judá; e deixou de dar à luz.
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.
