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 saw she had borne no children unto Jacob, so Rachel became envious of her sister, —and said unto Jacob, Come! give me children, or else, I die.

2 E Jacó se irritava contra Raquel, e dizia: Estou eu em lugar de Deus, que te impediu o fruto de teu ventre?

Then kindled the anger of Jacob with Rachel, —and he said, Am I, in the place of God, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the 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.

And she said, Lo! my handmaid, Bilhah. Go in unto her, —that she may bear upon my knees, so that, I also, may be builded up by her!

4 Assim lhe deu a Bila sua serva por mulher; e Jacó se deitou com ela.

And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid, to wife, —and Jacob went in unto her;

5 E concebeu Bila, e deu à luz a Jacó um filho.

and Bilhah conceived, and bare unto Jacob 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 God hath vindicated me. Moreover also he hath hearkened unto my voice, and hath given me a son. For this cause, called she his name Dan.

7 E concebeu outra vez Bila, a serva de Raquel, e deu à luz o segundo filho a Jacó.

And Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid conceived again, and bare a second son to Jacob.

8 E disse Raquel: Com lutas de Deus disputei com minha irmã, e venci. E chamou seu nome Naftali.

Then said Rachel With wrestlings of God, have I wrestled with my sister Yea I have prevailed. So she called his name, Naphtali.

9 E vendo Lia que havia deixado de dar à luz, tomou a Zilpa sua serva, e deu-a a Jacó por mulher.

Then saw Leah, that she had left off bearing, —so she took Zilpah, her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.

10 E Zilpa, serva de Lia, deu à luz a Jacó um filho.

And Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid, bare to Jacob a son:

11 E disse Lia: Veio a boa sorte. E chamou seu nome Gade.

and Leah said, Victory hath come! So she called his name Gad.

12 E Zilpa, a sirva de Lia, deu à luz outro filho a Jacó.

And Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid bare a second son to Jacob;

13 E disse Lia: Para alegria minha; porque as mulheres me chamarão de feliz; e chamou seu nome Aser.

and Leah said, For my happiness, surely happy have daughters pronounced me. So she called his name, Asher.

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.

Then went Reuben, in the days of the wheat harvest, and found mandrakes, in the field, and brought them in unto Leah his mother, and Rachel said unto Leah, Pray give me, some of the mandrakes of thy son

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.

And she said to her, Is it, a small thing, that thou hast taken away my husband? And wouldst thou take away, even the mandrakes of my son? Then said Rachel, Therefore, shall he lie with thee to-night, for the mandrakes of thy son.

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 Jacob came in from the field, in the evening, so Leah went out to meet him and said: Unto me, shalt thou come in, for I have hired, thee, even with the mandrakes of my son. And he lay with her that night,

17 E ouviu Deus a Lia; e concebeu, e deu à luz a Jacó o quinto filho.

And God hearkened unto Leah, —and she conceived and bare to Jacob a fifth son.

18 E disse Lia: Deus me deu minha recompensa, porque dei minha serva a meu marido; por isso chamou seu nome Issacar.

Then said Leah. God hath given my hire, in that I gave my handmaid to my husband. So she called his name, Issachar.

19 E concebeu Lia outra vez, e deu à luz o sexto filho a Jacó.

And Leah conceived again and bare a sixth son to Jacob.

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.

Then said Leah, God hath dowered me even me with a hand-some dowry, Now! will my husband dwell with me, for I have borne him six sons. So she called his name, Zebulon.

21 E depois deu à luz uma filha, e chamou seu nome Diná.

And afterwards she bare a daughter, —so she called her name, Dinah.

22 E lembrou-se Deus de Raquel, e Deus a ouviu, e abriu sua madre.

Then God remembered Rachel, —and God hearkened unto her, and granted her to bear.

23 E concebeu, e deu à luz um filho: e disse: Deus tirou minha humilhação;

So she conceived and bare a son, —and said, God hath taken away my reproach;

24 E chamou seu nome José, dizendo: Acrescente-me o SENHOR outro filho.

So she called his name Joseph, saying, Yahweh is adding unto me 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 it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Let me go that I may take my journey, unto my place, 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.

Come, give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee and let me take my journey, —for, thou, knowest my service wherewith I have served 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.

And Laban said unto him, If, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, …I have divined that Yahweh hath blessed me for thy sake.

28 E disse: Define-me teu salário, que eu o darei.

And he said, —Come, fix thy wages for me, that I may give it!

29 E ele respondeu: Tu sabes como te servi, e como esteve teu gado comigo;

And he said unto him, Thou, knowest how I have served thee, —and how thy cattle have fared, with me.

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?

For it was, little, that thou hadst—before I came and then it brake forth into multitude, and Yahweh blessed thee at my every step. Now, therefore, when am, I, also to do something 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 he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said: Thou shall give me, nothing at all, If thou wilt do for me this thing, I will return, I will shepherd thy flock I will keep it:

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.

Let me pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every young one that is speckled and spotted and every young one that is dark-coloured among the young sheep, and spotted and speckled among the goats, and they 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 righteousness shall answer for me on a future day, when thou shall come in respecting my hire that is before thee, Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and dark-coloured among the young sheep, stolen, shall it be accounted, if found with me.

34 E disse Labão: Eis que seja como tu dizes.

Then said Laban, Lo! would it might be according to thy word!

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;

So he removed, on that day, the he-goats that were striped and spotted and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and every dark-coloured one among the young sheep, —and delivered them into the hand of his sons;

36 E pôs três dias de caminho entre si e Jacó: e Jacó apascentava as outras ovelhas de Labão.

then put he a journey of three days between himself and Jacob, —but, Jacob himself, continued tending the flocks of Laban that were left.

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.

So then Jacob took him rods of young storax, and hazel and maple, —and peeled in them white stripes, laying bare the white which was on the rods.

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 set the rods which he had peeled, in the channels in the troughs of water, —where the flocks came in to drink straight before the flocks, and the females of the flock used to be in heat when they came in to drink;

39 E concebiam as ovelhas diante das varas, e geravam crias listradas, pintadas e salpicadas de diversas cores.

and the males of the flock were in heat before the rods, —so the flocks brought forth ring-straked, speckled, and spotted.

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.

The rams also, did Jacob separate, and then set the faces of the flocks towards the ring-straked and all the dark-coloured, among the flocks of Laban, —and he put his own droves by themselves, and put them not with the flocks of Laban.

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 it came to pass whensoever the stronger of the flocks were in heat, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flocks in the channels, —that the females might be in heat among the rods;

42 E quando vinham as ovelhas fracas, não as punha: assim eram as fracas para Labão, e as fortes para Jacó.

but, when the flocks were late in bearing, he did not set them, —and so the late-born were Laban’s, but the strong ones Jacob’s.

43 E cresceu o homem muito, e teve muitas ovelhas, e servas, servos, camelos, e asnos.

Thus did the man break forth, exceedingly, —thus came he to have flocks in abundance, and maid-servants, and men-servants and camels and asses.
