Genesis 30
1 When Rachel [Ewe sheep] saw that she bore Jacob [Supplanter] no children, Rachel [Ewe sheep] envied her sister. She said to Jacob [Supplanter], “Give me children, or else I will 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 Jacob [Supplanter]’s anger burned against Rachel [Ewe sheep], and he said, “Am I in God’s place, 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 She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah [Bashful]. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain 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 She gave him Bilhah [Bashful] her servant as wife, and Jacob [Supplanter] went in to her.
Assim lhe deu a Bilha sua serva por mulher: e Jacob entrou a ela.
5 Bilhah [Bashful] conceived, and bore Jacob [Supplanter] a son.
E concebeu Bilha, e pariu a Jacob um filho.
6 Rachel [Ewe sheep] said, “God has judged me, and has also sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my voice, and has given me a son.” Therefore called she his name Dan [He judged].
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 Bilhah [Bashful], Rachel [Ewe sheep]’s servant, conceived again, and bore Jacob [Supplanter] a second son.
E Bilha, serva de Rachel, concebeu outra vez, e pariu a Jacob o segundo filho.
8 Rachel [Ewe sheep] said, “With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed.” She named him Naphtali [My wrestling].
Então disse Rachel: Com lutas de Deus tenho lutado com minha irmã, também venci; e chamou o seu nome Naphtali.
9 When Leah [Weary] saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah [Frailty], her servant, and gave her to Jacob [Supplanter] as a wife.
Vendo pois Leah que cessava de parir, tomou também a Zilpah sua serva, e deu-a a Jacob por mulher.
10 Zilpah [Frailty], Leah [Weary]’s servant, bore Jacob [Supplanter] a son.
E pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um filho a Jacob.
11 Leah [Weary] said, “How fortunate!” She named him Gad [Good fortune].
Então disse Leah: Vem uma turba: e chamou o seu nome Gad.
12 Zilpah [Frailty], Leah [Weary]’s servant, bore Jacob [Supplanter] a second son.
Depois pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um segundo filho a Jacob.
13 Leah [Weary] said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She named him Asher [Happy].
Então disse Leah: Para minha ventura; porque as filhas me terão por benaventurada: e chamou o seu nome Asher.
14 Reuben [See, a son!] went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah [Weary]. Then Rachel [Ewe sheep] said to Leah [Weary], “Please give me some 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 She said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes, also?” Rachel [Ewe sheep] said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight 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 Jacob [Supplanter] came from the field in the evening, and Leah [Weary] went out to meet him, and said, “You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” 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 God sh'ma ·heard obeyed· to Leah [Weary], and she conceived, and bore Jacob [Supplanter] a fifth son.
E ouviu Deus a Leah, e concebeu, e pariu um quinto filho.
18 Leah [Weary] said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my servant to my husband.” She named him Issachar [Hire, Reward].
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 Leah [Weary] conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob [Supplanter].
E Leah concebeu outra vez, e pariu a Jacob um sexto filho.
20 Leah [Weary] said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun [Living together].
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 Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.
E depois pariu uma filha, e chamou o seu nome Dinah.
22 God remembered Rachel [Ewe sheep], and God sh'ma ·heard obeyed· to her, and opened her womb.
E lembrou-se Deus de Rachel, e Deus a ouviu, e abriu a sua madre,
23 She conceived, bore 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 She named him Joseph [May he add], saying, “May Adonai add another son to me.”
E chamou o seu nome José, dizendo: O Senhor me acrescente outro filho.
25 When Rachel [Ewe sheep] had borne Joseph [May he add], Jacob [Supplanter] said to Laban [White], “Send me away, that I may go to my 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 with which I have served 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 Laban [White] said to him, “If now I have found chen ·grace· in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that Adonai 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 He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
E disse mais: Determina-me o teu salário, que to darei.
29 He said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared 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 has increased to a multitude. Adonai has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my 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 He said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob [Supplanter] said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
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 today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will 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 my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be considered stolen.”
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 Laban [White] said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”
Então disse Labão: Eis que oxalá seja conforme à tua palavra.
35 That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones 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 He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob [Supplanter], and Jacob [Supplanter] fed the rest of Laban [White]’s flocks.
E pôs três dias de caminho entre si e Jacob: e Jacob apascentava o resto dos rebanhos de Labão.
37 Jacob [Supplanter] took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, plane tree, peeled white streaks 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 He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived 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 The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks produced streaked, speckled, and spotted.
E concebia o rebanho diante das varas, e as ovelhas pariam listrados, salpicados e malhados.
40 Jacob [Supplanter] separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laban [White]: and he put his own droves apart, and didn’t put them into Laban [White]’s flock.
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 Whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, Jacob [Supplanter] laid the rods in front of the eyes of the flock 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 flock were feeble, he didn’t put them in. So the more feeble were Laban [White]’s, and the stronger Jacob [Supplanter]’s.
Mas quando enfraqueceu o rebanho, não as pos. Assim as fracas eram de Labão, e as fortes de Jacob.
43 The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
E cresceu o varão em grande maneira, e teve muitos rebanhos, e servas, e servos, e camelos e jumentos.
