< Genesis 29 >

1 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.
야곱이 발행하여 동방 사람의 땅에 이르러
2 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.
본즉 들에 우물이 있고 그 곁에 양 세 떼가 누웠으니 이는 목자들이 그 우물에서 물을 양떼에게 먹임이라 큰 돌로 우물 아구를 덮었다가
3 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.
모든 떼가 모이면 그들이 우물 아구에서 돌을 옮기고 양에게 물을 먹이고는 여전히 우물 아구 그 자리에 돌을 덮더라
4 And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are you? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
야곱이 그들에게 이르되 `나의 형제여 어디로서뇨?' 그들이 가로되 `하란에서로라'
5 And he said to them, Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do know [him].
야곱이 그들에게 이르되 `너희가 나홀의 손자 라반을 아느냐?' 그들이 가로되 `아노라'
6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.
야곱이 그들에게 이르되 `그가 평안하냐?' 가로되 `평안하니라 딸 라헬이 지금 양을 몰고 오느니라'
7 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.
야곱이 가로되 `해가 아직 높은즉 짐승 모일 때가 아니니 양에게 물을 먹이고 가서 뜯기라'
8 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.
그들이 가로되 `우리가 그리하지 못하겠노라 떼가 다 모이고 목자들이 우물 아구에서 돌을 옮겨야 우리가 양에게 물을 먹이느리라'
9 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.
야곱이 그들과 말하는 중에 라헬이 그 아비의 양과 함께 오니 그가 그의 양들을 침이었더라
10 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.
야곱이 그 외삼촌 라반의 딸 라헬과 그 외삼촌의 양을 보고 나아가서 우물 아구에서 돌을 옮기고 외삼촌 라반의 양떼에게 물을 먹이고
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and wept.
그가 라헬에게 입맞추고 소리내어 울며
12 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.
그에게 자기가 그의 아비의 생질이요 리브가의 아들됨을 고하였더니 라헬이 달려가서 그 아비에게 고하매
13 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.
라반이 그 생질 야곱의 소식을 듣고 달려와서 그를 영접하여 안고 입맞추고 자기 집으로 인도하여 들이니 야곱이 자기의 모든 일을 라반에게 고하매
14 And Laban said to him, You are of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
라반이 가로되 `너는 참으로 나의 골육이로다' 하였더라 야곱이 한달을 그와 함께 거하더니
15 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.
라반이 야곱에게 이르되 `네가 비록 나의 생질이나 어찌 공으로 내 일만 하겠느냐? 무엇이 네 보수겠느냐? 내게 고하라'
16 Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
라반이 두 딸이 있으니 형의 이름은 레아요 아우의 이름은 라헬이라
17 And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
레아는 안력이 부족하고 라헬은 곱고 아리따우니
18 And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.
야곱이 라헬을 연애하므로 대답하되 `내가 외삼촌의 작은 딸 라헬을 위하여 외삼촌에게 칠년을 봉사하리이다'
19 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.
라반이 가로되 `그를 네게 주는 것이 타인에게 주는 것보다 나으니 나와 함께 있으라'
20 And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.
야곱이 라헬을 위하여 칠년 동안 라반을 봉사하였으나 그를 연애하는 까닭에 칠년을 수일 같이 여겼더라
21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
야곱이 라반에게 이르되 `내 기한이 찼으니 내 아내를 내게 주소서 내가 그에게 들어가겠나이다'
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a marriage-feast.
라반이 그 곳 사람을 다 모아 잔치하고
23 And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to her.
저녁에 그 딸 레아를 야곱에게로 데려가매 야곱이 그에게로 들어가니라
24 And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
라반이 또 그 여종 실바를 그 딸 레아에게 시녀로 주었더라
25 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?
야곱이 아침에 보니 레아라 라반에게 이르되 `외삼촌이 어찌하여 내게 이같이 행하셨나이까? 내가 라헬을 위하여 외삼촌께 봉사하지 아니하였나이까? 외삼촌이 나를 속이심은 어찜이니이까?'
26 And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
라반이 가로되 `형보다 아우를 먼저 주는 것은 우리 지방에서 하지 아니하는 바이라
27 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.
이를 위하여 칠일을 채우라 우리가 그도 네게 주리니 네가 그를 위하여 또 칠년을 내게 봉사할지니라'
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
야곱이 그대로 하여 그 칠일을 채우매 라반이 딸 라헬도 그에게 아내로 주고
29 And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
라반이 또 그 여종 빌하를 그 딸 라헬에게 주어 시녀가 되게 하매
30 And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
야곱이 또한 라헬에게로 들어갔고 그가 레아보다 라헬을 더 사랑하고 다시 칠년을 라반에게 봉사하였더라
31 And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
여호와께서 레아에게 총이 없음을 보시고 그의 태를 여셨으나 라헬은 무자하였더라
32 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.
레아가 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 그 이름을 르우벤이라 하여 가로되 `여호와께서 나의 괴로움을 권고하셨으니 이제는 내 남편이 나를 사랑하리로다' 하였더라
33 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.
그가 다시 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 `여호와께서 나의 총이 없음을 들으셨으므로 내게 이도 주셨도다' 하고 그 이름을 시므온이라 하였으며
34 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.
그가 또 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 `내가 그에게 세 아들을 낳았으니 내 남편이 지금부터 나와 연합하리로다' 하고 그 이름을 레위라 하였으며
35 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.
그가 또 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 `내가 이제는 여호와를 찬송하리로다!' 하고 이로 인하여 그가 그 이름을 유다라 하였고 그의 생산이 멈추었더라
