Genesis 30
1 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
Vendo pois Rachel que não paria filhos a Jacob, teve Rachel inveja de sua irmã, e disse a Jacob: Dá-me filhos, ou se não morro.
2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's position, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?
Então se acendeu a ira de Jacob contra Rachel, e disse: Estou eu no lugar de Deus, que te impediu o fruto de teu ventre?
3 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
E ela disse: Eis aqui minha serva Bilha; entra a ela, para que pára sobre os meus joelhos, e eu também seja edificada dela.
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
Assim lhe deu a Bilha sua serva por mulher: e Jacob entrou a ela.
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
E concebeu Bilha, e pariu a Jacob um filho.
6 And Rachel said, God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
Então disse Rachel: Julgou-me Deus, e também ouviu a minha voz, e me deu um filho; por isso chamou o seu nome Dan.
7 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
E Bilha, serva de Rachel, concebeu outra vez, e pariu a Jacob o segundo filho.
8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
Então disse Rachel: Com lutas de Deus tenho lutado com minha irmã, também venci; e chamou o seu nome Naphtali.
9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
Vendo pois Leah que cessava de parir, tomou também a Zilpah sua serva, e deu-a a Jacob por mulher.
10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
E pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um filho a Jacob.
11 And Leah said, A troop comes: and she called his name Gad.
Então disse Leah: Vem uma turba: e chamou o seu nome Gad.
12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
Depois pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um segundo filho a Jacob.
13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
Então disse Leah: Para minha ventura; porque as filhas me terão por benaventurada: e chamou o seu nome Asher.
14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray you, of your son's mandrakes.
E foi Ruben nos dias da sega do trigo, e achou mandrágoras no campo. E trouxe-as a Leah, sua mãe. Então disse Rachel a Leah: Ora dá-me das mandrágoras do teu filho.
15 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that you have taken my husband? and would you take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with you to night for your son's mandrakes.
E ela lhe disse: É já pouco que hajas tomado o meu marido, tomarás também as mandrágoras do meu filho? Então disse Rachel: Por isso se deitará contigo esta noite pelas mandrágoras de teu filho.
16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, You must come in unto me; for surely I have hired you with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
Vindo pois Jacob à tarde do campo, saiu-lhe Leah ao encontro, e disse: A mim entrarás, porque certamente te aluguei com as mandrágoras do meu filho. E deitou-se com ela aquela noite.
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
E ouviu Deus a Leah, e concebeu, e pariu um quinto filho.
18 And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
Então disse Leah: Deus me tem dado o meu galardão, pois tenho dado minha serva ao meu marido: e chamou o seu nome Issacar.
19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
E Leah concebeu outra vez, e pariu a Jacob um sexto filho.
20 And Leah said, God has imbued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
E disse Leah: Deus me deu a mim uma boa dádiva; desta vez morará o meu marido comigo, porque lhe tenho parido seis filhos: e chamou o seu nome Zebulon.
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
E depois pariu uma filha, e chamou o seu nome Dinah.
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
E lembrou-se Deus de Rachel, e Deus a ouviu, e abriu a sua madre,
23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God has taken away my reproach:
E ela concebeu, e pariu um filho, e disse: Tirou-me Deus a minha vergonha.
24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
E chamou o seu nome José, dizendo: O Senhor me acrescente outro filho.
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
E aconteceu que, como Rachel pariu a José, disse Jacob a Labão: Deixa-me ir, que me vá ao meu lugar, e à minha terra.
26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, and let me go: for you know my service which I have done you.
Dá-me as minhas mulheres, e os meus filhos, pelas quais te tenho servido, e ir-me-ei; pois tu sabes o meu serviço, que te tenho feito.
27 And Laban said unto him, I pray you, if I have found favour in your eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.
Então lhe disse Labão: Se agora tenho achado graça em teus olhos, fica comigo. Tenho experimentado que o Senhor me abençoou por amor de ti.
28 And he said, Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.
E disse mais: Determina-me o teu salário, que to darei.
29 And he said unto him, You know how I have served you, and how your cattle was with me.
Então lhe disse: Tu sabes como te tenho servido, e como passou o teu gado comigo.
30 For it was little which you had before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD has blessed you since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
Porque o pouco que tinhas antes de mim, é aumentado até uma multidão: e o Senhor te tem abençoado por meu trabalho. Agora pois, quando hei de trabalhar também por minha casa?
31 And he said, What shall I give you? And Jacob said, You shall not give me any thing: if you will do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep your flock.
E disse ele: Que te darei? Então disse Jacob: Nada me darás; se me fizeres isto, tornarei a apascentar e a guardar o teu rebanho.
32 I will pass through all your flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
Passarei hoje por todo o teu rebanho, separando dele todos os salpicados e malhados, e todos os morenos entre os cordeiros, e os malhados e salpicados entre as cabras: e isto será o meu salário.
33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before your face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
Assim testificará por mim a minha justiça no dia de amanhã, quando vieres e o meu salário estiver diante de tua face: tudo o que não for salpicado e malhado entre as cabras e moreno entre os cordeiros, ser-me-á por furto.
34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to your word.
Então disse Labão: Eis que oxalá seja conforme à tua palavra.
35 And he removed that day the he goats that were striped with bands and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
E separou naquele mesmo dia os bodes listrados e malhados e todas as cabras salpicadas e malhadas, tudo em que havia brancura, e todo o moreno entre os cordeiros; e deu-os nas mãos dos seus filhos.
36 And he set three days' journey between himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
E pôs três dias de caminho entre si e Jacob: e Jacob apascentava o resto dos rebanhos de Labão.
37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and stripped white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
Então tomou Jacob varas verdes de álamo, e de aveleira e de castanheiro, e descascou nelas riscas brancas, descobrindo a brancura que nas varas havia,
38 And he set the rods which he had stripped before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
E pôs estas varas, que tinha descascado, em frente do rebanho, nos canos e nas pias d'água, aonde o rebanho vinha a beber, e conceberam vindo a beber.
39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle striped with bands, speckled, and spotted.
E concebia o rebanho diante das varas, e as ovelhas pariam listrados, salpicados e malhados.
40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped with bands, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
Então separou Jacob os cordeiros, e pôs as faces do rebanho para os listrados, e todo o moreno entre o rebanho de Labão; e pôs o seu rebanho à parte, e não o pôs com o rebanho de Labão.
41 And it came to pass, whenever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
E sucedia que cada vez que concebiam as ovelhas fortes, punha Jacob as varas diante dos olhos do rebanho nos canos, para que concebessem diante das varas.
42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
Mas quando enfraqueceu o rebanho, não as pos. Assim as fracas eram de Labão, e as fortes de Jacob.
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and male servants, and camels, and asses.
E cresceu o varão em grande maneira, e teve muitos rebanhos, e servas, e servos, e camelos e jumentos.
