Gênesis 30
1 E vendo Raquel que não dava filhos a Jacó, teve inveja de sua irmã, e dizia a Jacó: Dá-me filhos, ou senão, morro.
And Rachel, seeing herself without children, envied her sister, and said to her husband: Give me children, otherwise I shall die.
2 E Jacó se irritava contra Raquel, e dizia: Estou eu em lugar de Deus, que te impediu o fruto de teu ventre?
And Jacob being angry with her, answered: Am I as God, who hath deprived thee of the fruit of thy womb?
3 E ela disse: Eis aqui minha serva Bila; deita-te com ela, e dará à luz sobre meus joelhos, e eu também terei filhos por meio dela.
But she said: I have here my servant Bala: go in unto her, that she may bear upon my knees, and I may have children by her.
4 Assim lhe deu a Bila sua serva por mulher; e Jacó se deitou com ela.
And she gave him Bala in marriage: who,
5 E concebeu Bila, e deu à luz a Jacó um filho.
When her husband had gone in unto her, conceived and bore a son.
6 E disse Raquel: Julgou-me Deus, e também ouviu minha voz, e deu-me um filho. Portanto chamou seu nome Dã.
And Rachel said: The Lord hath judged for me, and hath heard my voice, giving me a son, and therefore she called his name Dan.
7 E concebeu outra vez Bila, a serva de Raquel, e deu à luz o segundo filho a Jacó.
And again Bala conceived and bore another,
8 E disse Raquel: Com lutas de Deus disputei com minha irmã, e venci. E chamou seu nome Naftali.
For whom Rachel said: God hath compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called him Nephtali.
9 E vendo Lia que havia deixado de dar à luz, tomou a Zilpa sua serva, e deu-a a Jacó por mulher.
Lia, perceiving that she had left off bearing, gave Zelpha her handmaid to her husband.
10 E Zilpa, serva de Lia, deu à luz a Jacó um filho.
And when she had conceived and brought forth a son,
11 E disse Lia: Veio a boa sorte. E chamou seu nome Gade.
She said: Happily. And therefore called his name Gad.
12 E Zilpa, a sirva de Lia, deu à luz outro filho a Jacó.
Zelpha also bore another.
13 E disse Lia: Para alegria minha; porque as mulheres me chamarão de feliz; e chamou seu nome Aser.
And Lia said: This is for my happiness: for women will call me blessed. Therefore she called him Aser.
14 E foi Rúben em tempo da colheita dos trigos, e achou mandrágoras no campo, e trouxe-as a sua mãe Lia; e disse Raquel a Lia: Rogo-te que me dês das mandrágoras de teu filho.
And Ruben, going out in the time of the wheat harvest into the field, found mandrakes: which he brought to his mother Lia. And Rachel said: Give me part of thy son’s mandrakes.
15 E ela respondeu: É pouco que tenhas tomado meu marido, mas também levarás as mandrágoras de meu filho? E disse Raquel: Ele, pois, dormirá contigo esta noite pelas mandrágoras de teu filho.
She answered: Dost thou think it a small matter, that thou hast taken my husband from me, unless thou take also my son’s mandrakes? Rachel said: He shall sleep with thee this night, for thy son’s mandrakes.
16 E quando Jacó voltava do campo à tarde, Lia saiu ao encontro dele, e lhe disse: Deitarás comigo, porque em verdade te aluguei em troca das mandrágoras de meu filho. E dormiu com ela naquela noite.
And when Jacob returned at even from the field, Lia went out to meet him, and said: Thou shalt come in unto me, because I have hired thee for my son’s mandrakes. And he slept with her that night.
17 E ouviu Deus a Lia; e concebeu, e deu à luz a Jacó o quinto filho.
And God heard her prayers: and she conceived and bore the fifth son,
18 E disse Lia: Deus me deu minha recompensa, porque dei minha serva a meu marido; por isso chamou seu nome Issacar.
And said: God hath given me a reward, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
19 E concebeu Lia outra vez, e deu à luz o sexto filho a Jacó.
And Lia conceived again, and bore the sixth son,
20 E disse Lia: Deus me deu uma boa dádiva: agora meu marido morará comigo, porque lhe dei seis filhos; e chamou seu nome Zebulom.
And said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry: this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon.
21 E depois deu à luz uma filha, e chamou seu nome Diná.
After whom she bore a daughter, named Dina.
22 E lembrou-se Deus de Raquel, e Deus a ouviu, e abriu sua madre.
The Lord also remembering Rachel, heard her, and opened her womb.
23 E concebeu, e deu à luz um filho: e disse: Deus tirou minha humilhação;
And she conceived, and bore a son, saying: God hath taken away my reproach.
24 E chamou seu nome José, dizendo: Acrescente-me o SENHOR outro filho.
And she called his name Joseph, saying: The Lord give me also another son.
25 E aconteceu, quando Raquel havia dado à luz a José, que Jacó disse a Labão: Permite-me ir embora, e irei a meu lugar, e à minha terra.
And when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father in law: Send me away that I may return into my country, and to my land.
26 Dá-me minhas mulheres e meus filhos, pelas quais servi contigo, e deixa-me ir; pois tu sabes os serviços que te fiz.
Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart: thou knowest the service that I have rendered thee.
27 E Labão lhe respondeu: Ache eu agora favor em teus olhos, e fica-te; experimentei que o SENHOR me abençoou por tua causa.
Laban said to him: Let me find favour in thy sight: I have learned by experience, that God hath blessed me for thy sake.
28 E disse: Define-me teu salário, que eu o darei.
Appoint thy wages which I shall give thee.
29 E ele respondeu: Tu sabes como te servi, e como esteve teu gado comigo;
But he answered: Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how great thy possession hath been in my hands.
30 Porque pouco tinhas antes de minha vinda, e cresceu em grande número; e o SENHOR te abençoou com minha chegada: e agora quando tenho de fazer eu também por minha própria casa?
Thou hadst but little before I came to thee, and now thou art become rich: and the Lord hath blessed thee at my coming. It is reasonable therefore that I should now provide also for my own house.
31 E ele disse: Que te darei? E respondeu Jacó: Não me dês nada; se fizeres por mim isto, voltarei a apascentar tuas ovelhas.
And Laban said: What shall I give thee? But he said: I require nothing: but if thou wilt do what I demand, I will feed, and keep thy sheep again.
32 Eu passarei hoje por todas tuas ovelhas, pondo à parte todas as reses manchadas e de cor variada, e todas as reses de cor escura entre as ovelhas, e as manchadas e de cor variada entre as cabras; e isto será meu salário.
Go round through all thy flocks, and separate all the sheep of divers colours, and speckled: and all that is brown and spotted, and of divers colours, as well among the sheep, as among the goats, shall be my wages.
33 Assim responderá por mim minha justiça amanhã quando me vier meu salário diante de ti: toda a que não for pintada nem manchada nas cabras e de cor escura nas ovelhas minhas, se me há de ter para furto.
And my justice shall answer for me tomorrow before thee when the time of the bargain shall come: and all that is not of divers colours, and spotted, and brown, as well among the sheep as among the goats, shall accuse me of theft.
34 E disse Labão: Eis que seja como tu dizes.
And Laban said: I like well what thou demandest.
35 Porém ele separou naquele mesmo dia os machos de bode rajados e manchados; e todas as cabras manchadas e de cor variada, e toda rês que tinha em si algo de branco, e todas as de cor escura entre as ovelhas, e as pôs em mãos de seus filhos;
And he separated the same day the she goats, and the sheep, and the he goats, and the rams of divers colours, and spotted: and all the flock of one colour, that is, of white and black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons.
36 E pôs três dias de caminho entre si e Jacó: e Jacó apascentava as outras ovelhas de Labão.
And he set the space of three days’ journey betwixt himself and his son in law, who fed the rest of his flock.
37 E tomou para si Jacó varas de álamo verdes, e de aveleira, e de plátano, e descascou nelas mondaduras brancas, descobrindo assim o branco das varas.
And Jacob took green rods of poplar, and of almond, and of plane trees, and pilled them in part: so when the bark was taken off, in the parts that were pilled, there appeared whiteness: but the parts that were whole remained green: and by this means the colour was divers.
38 E pôs as varas que havia riscado nos bebedouros, diante do gado, nos bebedouros da água aonde vinham a beber as ovelhas, as quais se aqueciam vindo a beber.
And he put them in the troughs, where the water was poured out: that when the flocks should come to drink, they might have the rods before their eyes, and in the sight of them might conceive.
39 E concebiam as ovelhas diante das varas, e geravam crias listradas, pintadas e salpicadas de diversas cores.
And it came to pass that in the very heat of coition, the sheep beheld the rods, and brought forth spotted, and of divers colours, and speckled.
40 E separava Jacó os cordeiros, e os punha com seu rebanho, os listradas, e tudo o que era escuro no rebanho de Labão. E punha seu rebanho à parte, e não o punha com as ovelhas de Labão.
And Jacob separated the flock, and put the rods in the troughs before the eyes of the rams: and all the white and the black were Laban’s: and the rest were Jacob’s, when the flocks were separated one from the other.
41 E sucedia que quantas vezes se aqueciam as fortes, Jacó punha as varas diante das ovelhas nos bebedouros, para que concebessem à vista das varas.
So when the ewes went first to ram, Jacob put the rods in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams, and of the ewes, that they might conceive while they were looking upon them:
42 E quando vinham as ovelhas fracas, não as punha: assim eram as fracas para Labão, e as fortes para Jacó.
But when the latter coming was, and the last conceiving, he did not put them. And those that were lateward, became Laban’s: and they of the first time, Jacob’s.
43 E cresceu o homem muito, e teve muitas ovelhas, e servas, servos, camelos, e asnos.
And the man was enriched exceedingly, and he had many flocks, maid servants and men servants, camels and asses.
