Genesis 29
1 And so Jacob, setting out, arrived in the eastern land.
И востав Иаков на нозе, иде в землю восточную к Лавану сыну Вафуила Сирина, брату же Ревекки матере Иаковли и Исавли.
2 And he saw a well in a field, and also three flocks of sheep reclining near it. For the animals were watered from it, and its mouth was closed with a great stone.
Узре же, и се, кладязь на поли: и бяху тамо три стада овец, почивающе при нем: от того бо кладязя напаяхуся стада. Камень же велий бяше над устием кладязя.
3 And the custom was, when all the sheep were gathered together, to roll away the stone. And when the flocks had been refreshed, they placed it over the mouth of the well again.
И собирахуся тамо вся стада: и отваляху камень от устия кладязя и напаяху овцы: и паки полагаху камень на устии кладязя на месте своем.
4 And he said to the shepherds, “Brothers, where are you from?” And they answered. “From Haran.”
Рече же им Иаков: братия, откуду есте вы? Они же реша: от Харрана есмы.
5 And questioning them, he said, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
Рече же им: знаете ли Лавана сына Нахорова? Они же реша: знаем.
6 He said, “Is he well?” “He is very well,” they said. “And behold, his daughter Rachel approaches with his flock.”
Рече же им: здравствует ли? Они же реша: здравствует. И се, Рахиль дщи его идяше со овцами.
7 And Jacob said, “There is still much daylight remaining, and it is not time to return the flocks to the sheepfold. Give the sheep to drink first, and then lead them back to pasture.”
И рече Иаков: еще есть дне много, не у час собирати скота: напоивше овцы, шедше пасите.
8 They responded, “We cannot, until all the animals are gathered together and we remove the stone from the mouth of the well, so that we may water the flocks.”
Они же реша: не можем, дондеже соберутся вси пастуси и отвалят камень от устия кладязя, и напоим овцы.
9 They were still speaking, and behold, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep; for she pastured the flock.
Еще ему глаголющу к ним, и се, Рахиль дщи Лаваня грядяше со овцами отца своего: она бо пасяше овцы отца своего.
10 When Jacob had seen her, and he realized that she was his maternal first cousin, and that these were the sheep of his uncle Laban, he removed the stone which closed the well.
Бысть же яко узре Иаков Рахиль дщерь Лавана брата матере своея и овцы Лавана брата матере своея, и приступив Иаков отвали камень от устия кладязя:
11 And having watered the flock, he kissed her. And lifting up his voice, he wept.
и напои овцы Лавана брата матере своея, и целова Иаков Рахиль, и возопив гласом своим, восплакася:
12 And he revealed to her that he was a brother of her father, and the son of Rebekah. And so, hurrying, she announced it to her father.
и поведа Рахили, яко брат отца ея есть и яко сын Ревеккин есть. И текши поведа отцу своему по словесем сим.
13 And when he had heard that Jacob, his sister’s son, had arrived, he ran to meet him. And embracing him, and kissing him heartily, he brought him into his house. But when he had heard the reasons for his journey,
Бысть же яко услыша Лаван имя Иакова сына сестры своея, тече во сретение ему и объемь его лобза, и введе его в дом свой. И поведа Лавану вся словеса сия.
14 he responded, “You are my bone and my flesh.” And after the days of one month were completed,
И рече ему Лаван: от костей моих и от плоти моея еси ты. И бе с ним месяц дний.
15 he said to him: “Though you are my brother, will you serve me for nothing? Tell me what wages you would accept.”
Рече же Лаван Иакову: понеже брат мой еси ты, да не поработаеши мне туне: повеждь ми, что мзда твоя есть?
16 In truth, he had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah; and truly the younger was called Rachel.
У Лавана же бесте две дщери: имя старейшей Лиа, имя же юнейшей Рахиль.
17 But while Leah was bleary-eyed, Rachel had an elegant appearance and was attractive to behold.
Очи же Лиины болезненны: Рахиль же бе добра видом и красна взором зело.
18 And Jacob, loving her, said, “I will serve you for seven years, for your younger daughter Rachel.”
Возлюби же Иаков Рахиль. И рече: поработаю тебе седмь лет за Рахиль дщерь твою меншую.
19 Laban responded, “It is better that I give her to you than to another man; remain with me.”
Рече же ему Лаван: лучше ми тебе дати ю, нежели иному отдати мужеви: со мною живи.
20 Therefore, Jacob served for seven years for Rachel. And these seemed like only a few days, because of the greatness of love.
И работа Иаков за Рахиль седмь лет: и быша пред ним яко малы дни, занеже любяше ю.
21 And he said to Laban, “Give my wife to me. For now the time has been fulfilled, so that I may go in to her.”
Рече же Иаков Лавану: даждь ми жену мою, понеже совершишася дние, да вниду к ней.
22 And he, having called a great crowd of his friends to the feast, agreed to the marriage.
Собра же Лаван вся мужы места того, и сотвори брак.
23 And at night, he brought in his daughter Leah to him,
И бысть вечер, и поемь Лаван Лию дщерь свою, введе ко Иакову: и вниде к ней Иаков.
24 giving his daughter a handmaid named Zilpah. After Jacob had gone in to her, according to custom, when morning had arrived, he saw Leah.
Даде же Лаван Лии дщери своей Зелфу рабыню свою, ей в рабу.
25 And he said to his father-in-law, “What is it that you intended to do? Did I not serve you for Rachel? Why have you deceived me?”
Бысть же заутра, и се, бяше Лиа, и рече Иаков Лавану: что сие сотворил ми еси? Не Рахили ли ради работах у тебе? Вскую же обидел мя еси?
26 Laban responded, “It is not the practice in this place to give the younger in marriage first.
Отвеща же Лаван: несть тако в нашем месте вдати меншую прежде старейшия.
27 Complete a week of days with this mating. And then I will give this one to you also, for the service that you will provide to me for another seven years.”
Скончай убо седмины сея, и дам ти и сию за дело, еже делаеши у мене еще седмь лет другия.
28 He agreed to his pleading. And after the week had passed, he took Rachel as a wife.
Сотвори же Иаков тако: и исполни седмины сея: и даде ему Лаван Рахиль дщерь свою ему в жену.
29 To her, the father had given Bilhah as her servant.
Даде же Лаван Рахили дщери своей Валлу рабу свою, ей в рабу.
30 And, having at last obtained the marriage he desired, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and he served with him another seven years.
И вниде (Иаков) к Рахили: возлюби же Рахиль паче, неже Лию: и работа ему седмь лет другия.
31 But the Lord, seeing that he despised Leah, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.
Видев же Господь Бог, яко ненавидима бяше Лиа, отверзе ложесна ея: Рахиль же бяше неплоды.
32 Having conceived, she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Reuben, saying: “The Lord saw my humiliation; now my husband will love me.”
И зачат Лиа и роди сына Иакову: нарече же имя ему Рувим, глаголя: яко призре Господь на мое смирение и даде ми сына: ныне убо возлюбит мя муж мой.
33 And again she conceived and bore a son, and she said, “Because the Lord heard that I was treated with contempt, he has also given this one to me.” And she called his name Simeon.
И зачат паки Лиа и роди сына втораго Иакову и рече: зане услыша Господь, яко ненавидима есмь, и придаде ми и сего. И нарече имя ему Симеон.
34 And she conceived a third time, and she gave birth to another son, and she said: “Now likewise my husband will unite with me, because I have borne him three sons.” And because of this, she called his name Levi.
И зачат еще и роди сына и рече: в нынешнее время у мене будет муж мой, родих бо ему три сыны. Сего ради нарече имя ему Левий.
35 A fourth time she conceived and bore a son, and she said, “Only now will I confess to the Lord.” And for this reason, she called him Judah. And she ceased from child-bearing.
И заченши еще роди сына и рече: ныне еще сие исповем Господу. Сего ради нарече имя ему Иуда, и преста раждати.
