Génesis 29
1 Entonces Jacob siguió su camino y llegó a la tierra de los hijos 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 Miró, y vio un pozo en el campo, y vio tres rebaños de ovejas acostados junto a él. Porque de ese pozo abrevaban los rebaños. La piedra de la boca del pozo era grande.
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 Allí estaban reunidos todos los rebaños. Rodaron la piedra de la boca del pozo, dieron de beber a las ovejas y volvieron a poner la piedra en la boca del pozo en su 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 Jacob les dijo: “Parientes míos, ¿de dónde sois?” Dijeron: “Somos de Harán”.
And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are you? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
5 Les dijo: “¿Conocéis a Labán, hijo de Nacor?” Dijeron: “Lo conocemos”.
And he said to them, Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do know [him].
6 Les dijo: “¿Le va bien?”. Dijeron: “Está bien. Mira, Raquel, su hija, viene con las ovejas”.
And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.
7 Dijo: “Mira, todavía es mediodía, no es hora de reunir el ganado. Da de beber a las ovejas y ve a darles de comer”.
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 Dijeron: “No podemos, hasta que se reúnan todos los rebaños y se quite la piedra de la boca del pozo. Entonces abrevaremos las ovejas”.
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 Mientras aún hablaba con ellos, llegó Raquel con las ovejas de su padre, pues las guardaba.
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 Cuando Jacob vio a Raquel, la hija de Labán, hermano de su madre, y las ovejas de Labán, hermano de su madre, se acercó, hizo rodar la piedra de la boca del pozo y dio de beber al rebaño de Labán, hermano de su madre.
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 Jacob besó a Raquel, alzó la voz y lloró.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and wept.
12 Jacob le dijo a Raquel que era pariente de su padre y que era hijo de Rebeca. Ella corrió y se lo contó a su padre.
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 Cuando Labán oyó la noticia de Jacob, el hijo de su hermana, corrió a recibir a Jacob, lo abrazó y lo besó, y lo llevó a su casa. Jacob le contó a Labán todas estas cosas.
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 Labán le dijo: “Ciertamente tú eres mi hueso y mi carne”. Jacob se quedó con él durante un mes.
And Laban said to him, You are of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
15 Labán le dijo a Jacob: “Porque eres mi pariente, ¿debes servirme por nada? Dime, ¿cuál será tu salario?”
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 Labán tenía dos hijas. El nombre de la mayor era Lía, y el de la menor, Raquel.
Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
17 Los ojos de Lea eran débiles, pero Raquel era hermosa en forma y atractiva.
And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
18 Jacob amaba a Raquel. Dijo: “Te serviré siete años por Raquel, tu hija menor”.
And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.
19 Labán dijo: “Es mejor que te la entregue a ti que a otro hombre. Quédate conmigo”.
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 Jacob sirvió siete años por Raquel. Le parecieron pocos días, para el amor que sentía por ella.
And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.
21 Jacob dijo a Labán: “Dame a mi mujer, pues mis días están cumplidos, para que entre con ella.”
And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
22 Labán reunió a todos los hombres del lugar e hizo un banquete.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a marriage-feast.
23 Al anochecer, tomó a su hija Lea y la llevó a Jacob. Él entró con ella.
And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to her.
24 Labán le dio a su hija Lea a Zilpá como sirvienta.
And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
25 Por la mañana, he aquí que era Lea. Le dijo a Labán: “¿Qué es esto que has hecho conmigo? ¿No he servido contigo por Raquel? ¿Por qué entonces me has engañado?”
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 Labán dijo: “No se hace así en nuestro lugar, dar al menor antes que al primogénito.
And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
27 Cumple la semana de éste, y te daremos también el otro para el servicio que prestarás conmigo durante siete años más.”
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 Jacob lo hizo y cumplió su semana. Le dio a su hija Raquel como esposa.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
29 Labán dio a Bilhá, su sierva, a su hija Raquel para que fuera su sirvienta.
And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
30 Entró también a Raquel, y amó también a Raquel más que a Lea, y sirvió con él siete años más.
And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
31 Yahvé vio que Lea era odiada, y abrió su vientre, pero Raquel era estéril.
And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
32 Lea concibió y dio a luz un hijo, al que llamó Rubén. Porque dijo: “Porque Yahvé ha mirado mi aflicción, pues ahora mi esposo 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 Concibió de nuevo y dio a luz un hijo, y dijo: “Porque Yahvé ha oído que soy odiada, por eso me ha dado también este hijo.” Le puso el nombre de Simeón.
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 Concibió de nuevo y dio a luz un hijo. Dijo: “Esta vez mi esposo se unirá a mí, porque le he dado tres hijos”. Por eso se llamó Leví.
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 Concibió de nuevo y dio a luz un hijo. Dijo: “Esta vez alabaré a Yahvé”. Por eso lo llamó Judá. Luego dejó de dar a 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.
