Kejadian 30
1 Ketika dilihat Rahel, bahwa ia tidak melahirkan anak bagi Yakub, cemburulah ia kepada kakaknya itu, lalu berkata kepada Yakub: "Berikanlah kepadaku anak; kalau tidak, aku akan mati."
When Rachel realized she was unable to give Jacob any children she was jealous of her sister. She complained to Jacob, “I'll die if you don't give me children!”
2 Maka bangkitlah amarah Yakub terhadap Rahel dan ia berkata: "Akukah pengganti Allah, yang telah menghalangi engkau mengandung?"
Jacob became angry with Rachel and told her, “Am I God? Do you think I'm the one stopping you having children?”
3 Kata Rahel: "Ini Bilha, budakku perempuan, hampirilah dia, supaya ia melahirkan anak di pangkuanku, dan supaya oleh dia akupun mempunyai keturunan."
“Here's my personal maid Bilhah,” Rachel replied. “Sleep with her and she can have children for me so I'll have a family too.”
4 Maka diberikannyalah Bilha, budaknya itu, kepada Yakub menjadi isterinya dan Yakub menghampiri budak itu.
She gave her personal maid Bilhah to him as a wife and Jacob slept with her.
5 Bilha mengandung, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki bagi Yakub.
Bilhah became pregnant and had a son for Jacob.
6 Berkatalah Rahel: "Allah telah memberikan keadilan kepadaku, juga telah didengarkan-Nya permohonanku dan diberikan-Nya kepadaku seorang anak laki-laki." Itulah sebabnya ia menamai anak itu Dan.
Rachel said, “God has judged in my favor! He listened to me and gave me a son.” So she named him Dan.
7 Mengandung pulalah Bilha, budak perempuan Rahel, lalu melahirkan anak laki-laki yang kedua bagi Yakub.
Rachel's personal maid Bilhah became pregnant again and had second son for Jacob.
8 Berkatalah Rahel: "Aku telah sangat hebat bergulat dengan kakakku, dan akupun menang." Maka ia menamai anak itu Naftali.
Rachel said, “I've had a hard struggle with my sister, but I've won.” So she named him Naphtali.
9 Ketika dilihat Lea, bahwa ia tidak melahirkan lagi, diambilnyalah Zilpa, budaknya perempuan, dan diberikannya kepada Yakub menjadi isterinya.
Leah realized she wasn't having any more children, so she gave her personal maid Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.
10 Dan Zilpa, budak perempuan Lea, melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki bagi Yakub.
Zilpah had a son for Jacob.
11 Berkatalah Lea: "Mujur telah datang." Maka ia menamai anak itu Gad.
Leah said, “I'm really fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
12 Dan Zilpa, budak perempuan Lea, melahirkan anak laki-laki yang kedua bagi Yakub.
Leah's personal maid Zilpah became pregnant again and had a second son for Jacob.
13 Berkatalah Lea: "Aku ini berbahagia! Tentulah perempuan-perempuan akan menyebutkan aku berbahagia." Maka ia menamai anak itu Asyer.
Leah said, “I'm so happy, and the other women will say I'm happy too!” So she named him Asher.
14 Ketika Ruben pada musim menuai gandum pergi berjalan-jalan, didapatinyalah di padang buah dudaim, lalu dibawanya kepada Lea, ibunya. Kata Rahel kepada Lea: "Berilah aku beberapa buah dudaim yang didapat oleh anakmu itu."
At the time of the wheat harvest Reuben found some mandrake plants when he was out in the fields. He took them back to his mother Leah. Rachel asked Leah, “Please give me some of the mandrakes your son found.”
15 Jawab Lea kepadanya: "Apakah belum cukup bagimu mengambil suamiku? Sekarang pula mau mengambil lagi buah dudaim anakku?" Kata Rahel: "Kalau begitu biarlah ia tidur dengan engkau pada malam ini sebagai ganti buah dudaim anakmu itu."
“Aren't you satisfied with stealing my husband?” Leah replied. “Are you going to take my son's mandrakes too?” “Fine, he can sleep with you tonight if you give me some mandrakes in return,” Rachel responded.
16 Ketika Yakub pada waktu petang datang dari padang, pergilah Lea mendapatkannya, sambil berkata: "Engkau harus singgah kepadaku malam ini, sebab memang engkau telah kusewa dengan buah dudaim anakku." Sebab itu tidurlah Yakub dengan Lea pada malam itu.
When Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. “You have to sleep with me because I've paid for you with my son's mandrakes,” she told him. So he slept with her that night.
17 Lalu Allah mendengarkan permohonan Lea. Lea mengandung dan melahirkan anak laki-laki yang kelima bagi Yakub.
God heard Leah's request, and she became pregnant and had a fifth son for Jacob.
18 Lalu kata Lea: "Allah telah memberi upahku, karena aku telah memberi budakku perempuan kepada suamiku." Maka ia menamai anak itu Isakhar.
Leah said, “The Lord has rewarded me for giving my personal maid to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
19 Kemudian Lea mengandung pula dan melahirkan anak laki-laki yang keenam bagi Yakub.
Then Leah became pregnant again and had a sixth son for Jacob.
20 Berkatalah Lea: "Allah telah memberikan hadiah yang indah kepadaku; sekali ini suamiku akan tinggal bersama-sama dengan aku, karena aku telah melahirkan enam orang anak laki-laki baginya." Maka ia menamai anak itu Zebulon.
Leah said, “God has given me a good gift. Now my husband will honor me because I've given him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.
21 Sesudah itu ia melahirkan seorang anak perempuan dan menamai anak itu Dina.
Later she had a daughter she named Dinah.
22 Lalu ingatlah Allah akan Rahel; Allah mendengarkan permohonannya serta membuka kandungannya.
Then God paid attention to Rachel and listened to her appeals, and helped her to have children.
23 Maka mengandunglah Rahel dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Berkatalah ia: "Allah telah menghapuskan aibku."
She became pregnant and had a son. “God has removed my disgrace,” she said.
24 Maka ia menamai anak itu Yusuf, sambil berkata: "Mudah-mudahan TUHAN menambah seorang anak laki-laki lagi bagiku."
She named him Joseph, saying, “May the Lord give me an additional son.”
25 Setelah Rahel melahirkan Yusuf, berkatalah Yakub kepada Laban: "Izinkanlah aku pergi, supaya aku pulang ke tempat kelahiranku dan ke negeriku.
Once Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me leave so I can return to my home and my own country.
26 Berikanlah isteri-isteriku dan anak-anakku, yang menjadi upahku selama aku bekerja padamu, supaya aku pulang, sebab engkau tahu, betapa keras aku bekerja padamu."
Give me my wives and children because I worked for you to have them. Let me go now because you know very well how much work I've done for you.”
27 Tetapi Laban berkata kepadanya: "Sekiranya aku mendapat kasihmu! Telah nyata kepadaku, bahwa TUHAN memberkati aku karena engkau."
“Please be so kind as to stay,” Laban replied, “because I have discovered that the Lord has blessed me because of you.”
28 Lagi katanya: "Tentukanlah upahmu yang harus kubayar, maka aku akan memberikannya."
Then Laban continued, “Tell me how much to pay you and I'll give it to you.”
29 Sahut Yakub kepadanya: "Engkau sendiri tahu, bagaimana aku bekerja padamu, dan bagaimana keadaan ternakmu dalam penjagaanku,
“You certainly know how much work I've done for you, and how well your flocks have done under my care.
30 sebab harta milikmu tidak begitu banyak sebelum aku datang, tetapi sekarang telah berkembang dengan sangat, dan TUHAN telah memberkati engkau sejak aku berada di sini; jadi, bilakah dapat aku bekerja untuk rumah tanggaku sendiri?"
You hardly had anything before I arrived, but now you have so much! The Lord has blessed you through what I've done. When am I going to be able to provide for my own family?”
31 Kata Laban: "Apakah yang harus kuberikan kepadamu?" Jawab Yakub: "Tidak usah kauberikan apa-apa kepadaku; aku mau lagi menggembalakan kambing dombamu dan menjaganya, asal engkau mengizinkan hal ini kepadaku:
“Well, what do you propose I give you?” Laban asked again. “You don't have to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you want to do something for me, then how about this: I'll go on looking after your flocks, making sure they're fed.
32 Hari ini aku akan lewat dari tengah-tengah segala kambing dombamu dan akan mengasingkan dari situ setiap binatang yang berbintik-bintik dan berbelang-belang; segala domba yang hitam dan segala kambing yang berbelang-belang dan berbintik-bintik, itulah upahku.
Let me go through your flocks today and take all the sheep that are speckled or spotted, and all the dark ones, as well as all the speckled and spotted goats. They'll be my wages.
33 Dan kejujuranku akan terbukti di kemudian hari, apabila engkau datang memeriksa upahku: Segala yang tidak berbintik-bintik atau berbelang-belang di antara kambing-kambing dan yang tidak hitam di antara domba-domba, anggaplah itu tercuri olehku."
In the future you'll be able to prove that I've been honest. When you check my flock, any goats that don't have speckles or spots, or any sheep that aren't dark will be considered stolen from you.”
34 Kemudian kata Laban: "Baik, jadilah seperti perkataanmu itu."
“Very good,” Laban agreed. “We'll do as you say.”
35 Lalu diasingkannyalah pada hari itu kambing-kambing jantan yang bercoreng-coreng dan berbelang-belang dan segala kambing yang berbintik-bintik dan berbelang-belang, segala yang ada warna putih pada badannya, serta segala yang hitam di antara domba-domba, dan diserahkannyalah semuanya itu kepada anak-anaknya untuk dijaga.
However, the same day Laban went and removed all the striped and spotted male goats, all the speckled and spotted female goats, and all the dark sheep. He had his sons look after them and sent them away—
36 Kemudian Laban menentukan jarak tiga hari perjalanan jauhnya antara dia dan Yakub, maka tetaplah Yakub menggembalakan kambing domba yang tinggal itu.
a three day journey between them and Jacob, while Jacob was looking after the rest of Laban's flocks.
37 Lalu Yakub mengambil dahan hijau dari pohon hawar, pohon badam dan pohon berangan, dikupasnyalah dahan-dahan itu sehingga berbelang-belang, sampai yang putihnya kelihatan.
Then Jacob cut some sticks from poplar, almond, and plane trees that had white wood under the bark. He peeled off some of the bark, making the sticks look streaked with white.
38 Ia meletakkan dahan-dahan yang dikupasnya itu dalam palungan, dalam tempat minum, ke mana kambing domba itu datang minum, sehingga tepat di depan kambing domba itu. Adapun kambing domba itu suka berkelamin pada waktu datang minum.
He put the sticks he'd peeled in the water troughs where the flocks came to drink because that's where they mated.
39 Jika kambing domba itu berkelamin dekat dahan-dahan itu, maka anaknya bercoreng-coreng, berbintik-bintik dan berbelang-belang.
The flocks mated in front of the sticks and gave birth to young that were streaked, speckled, and spotted.
40 Kemudian Yakub memisahkan domba-domba itu, dihadapkannya kepala-kepala kambing domba itu kepada yang bercoreng-coreng dan kepada segala yang hitam di antara kambing domba Laban. Demikianlah ia beroleh kumpulan-kumpulan hewan baginya sendiri, dan tidak ditempatkannya pada kambing domba Laban.
Jacob separated all these ones out. Then he made his flock face towards those in Laban's flock that were streaked and dark. This is the way he kept his flocks apart from Laban's flock.
41 Dan setiap kali, apabila berkelamin kambing domba yang kuat, maka Yakub meletakkan dahan-dahan itu ke dalam palungan di depan mata kambing domba itu, supaya berkelamin dekat dahan-dahan itu.
When the strong females were ready to breed, Jacob put the sticks in the troughs where the flocks could see them when they mated.
42 Tetapi apabila datang kambing domba yang lemah, ia tidak meletakkan dahan-dahan itu ke dalamnya. Jadi hewan yang lemah untuk Laban dan yang kuat untuk Yakub.
He didn't do this for the weaker females. The weaker ones went to Laban, and the strong ones went to Jacob.
43 Maka sangatlah bertambah-tambah harta Yakub, dan ia mempunyai banyak kambing domba, budak perempuan dan laki-laki, unta dan keledai.
In this way Jacob became an extremely rich man with large flocks, and many male and female slaves, camels, and donkeys.
