창세기 29
1 야곱이 발행하여 동방 사람의 땅에 이르러
Jacob continued on the road [MTY], and he arrived at the land that was east of Canaan.
2 본즉 들에 우물이 있고 그 곁에 양 세 떼가 누웠으니 이는 목자들이 그 우물에서 물을 양떼에게 먹임이라 큰 돌로 우물 아구를 덮었다가
There he [was surprised to] see a well in a field, and three flocks of sheep were lying near the well. It was the well from which shepherds habitually got water for their sheep. There was a large stone covering the top of the well.
3 모든 떼가 모이면 그들이 우물 아구에서 돌을 옮기고 양에게 물을 먹이고는 여전히 우물 아구 그 자리에 돌을 덮더라
When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would work together to roll the stone away from the top of the well and get water for the sheep. When they finished doing that, they would put the stone back in its place over the top of the well.
4 야곱이 그들에게 이르되 `나의 형제여 어디로서뇨?' 그들이 가로되 `하란에서로라'
[On that day], Jacob asked the shepherds who were sitting there, “Where are you from?” They replied, “We are from Haran.”
5 야곱이 그들에게 이르되 `너희가 나홀의 손자 라반을 아느냐?' 그들이 가로되 `아노라'
He asked them, “Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?” They replied, “Yes, we know him.”
6 야곱이 그들에게 이르되 `그가 평안하냐?' 가로되 `평안하니라 딸 라헬이 지금 양을 몰고 오느니라'
Jacob asked them, “Is Laban well?” They replied, “Yes, he is well. Look! Here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep!”
7 야곱이 가로되 `해가 아직 높은즉 짐승 모일 때가 아니니 양에게 물을 먹이고 가서 뜯기라'
Jacob said, “Hey! The sun is still high in the sky. It is not time for the flocks to be gathered for nighttime. Give the sheep some water and then take them back to (graze/eat grass) in the pastures!”
8 그들이 가로되 `우리가 그리하지 못하겠노라 떼가 다 모이고 목자들이 우물 아구에서 돌을 옮겨야 우리가 양에게 물을 먹이느리라'
They replied, “No, we cannot do that until all the flocks are gathered here and the stone is removed from the top of the well. After that, we will give water to the sheep.”
9 야곱이 그들과 말하는 중에 라헬이 그 아비의 양과 함께 오니 그가 그의 양들을 침이었더라
While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep. She was the one who took care of her father’s sheep.
10 야곱이 그 외삼촌 라반의 딸 라헬과 그 외삼촌의 양을 보고 나아가서 우물 아구에서 돌을 옮기고 외삼촌 라반의 양떼에게 물을 먹이고
When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, who was his mother’s brother, [Jacob was so excited that] he went over and [by himself] rolled away the stone that covered the top of the well, and he got water for his uncle’s sheep.
11 그가 라헬에게 입맞추고 소리내어 울며
Then Jacob kissed Rachel [on the cheek], and he cried loudly [because he was so happy].
12 그에게 자기가 그의 아비의 생질이요 리브가의 아들됨을 고하였더니 라헬이 달려가서 그 아비에게 고하매
Jacob told Rachel that he was one of her father’s relatives, the son of her aunt Rebekah. So she ran and told that to her father.
13 라반이 그 생질 야곱의 소식을 듣고 달려와서 그를 영접하여 안고 입맞추고 자기 집으로 인도하여 들이니 야곱이 자기의 모든 일을 라반에게 고하매
As soon as Laban heard that Jacob, his sister’s son, was there, he ran to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him [on the cheek]. Then he brought him to his home, and Jacob told him all that had happened to him.
14 라반이 가로되 `너는 참으로 나의 골육이로다' 하였더라 야곱이 한달을 그와 함께 거하더니
Then Laban said to him, “Truly, you are part of my family!” After Jacob had stayed there and worked for Laban for a month,
15 라반이 야곱에게 이르되 `네가 비록 나의 생질이나 어찌 공으로 내 일만 하겠느냐? 무엇이 네 보수겠느냐? 내게 고하라'
Laban said to him “(You should not work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine!/Why should you work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine?) [RHQ] Tell me how much you want me to pay you.”
16 라반이 두 딸이 있으니 형의 이름은 레아요 아우의 이름은 라헬이라
Well, Laban had two daughters. The older one was named Leah, and the younger one was named Rachel.
17 레아는 안력이 부족하고 라헬은 곱고 아리따우니
Leah had pretty eyes, but Rachel had a very attractive figure and was beautiful.
18 야곱이 라헬을 연애하므로 대답하되 `내가 외삼촌의 작은 딸 라헬을 위하여 외삼촌에게 칠년을 봉사하리이다'
Jacob (was in love with/wanted very much to be married to) Rachel, and he said, “I will work for you for seven years. That will be my payment for your letting me marry your younger daughter, Rachel.”
19 라반이 가로되 `그를 네게 주는 것이 타인에게 주는 것보다 나으니 나와 함께 있으라'
Laban replied, “It is better for me to let you marry her than for her to marry some other man!”
20 야곱이 라헬을 위하여 칠년 동안 라반을 봉사하였으나 그를 연애하는 까닭에 칠년을 수일 같이 여겼더라
So Jacob worked for Laban for seven years to get Rachel, but to him it seemed like it was only a few days, because he loved her so much.
21 야곱이 라반에게 이르되 `내 기한이 찼으니 내 아내를 내게 주소서 내가 그에게 들어가겠나이다'
After the seven years were ended, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me marry Rachel now, because the time we agreed upon for me to work for you is ended, and I want to marry her. [EUP]”
22 라반이 그 곳 사람을 다 모아 잔치하고
So Laban gathered together all the people who lived in that area and made a feast.
23 저녁에 그 딸 레아를 야곱에게로 데려가매 야곱이 그에게로 들어가니라
But that evening, instead of taking Rachel to Jacob, Laban took his older daughter, Leah, to him. But because it was already dark, he could not see that it was Leah and not Rachel, and he had sex [EUP] with her.
24 라반이 또 그 여종 실바를 그 딸 레아에게 시녀로 주었더라
(Laban had already given his slave girl Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her maid/servant.)
25 야곱이 아침에 보니 레아라 라반에게 이르되 `외삼촌이 어찌하여 내게 이같이 행하셨나이까? 내가 라헬을 위하여 외삼촌께 봉사하지 아니하였나이까? 외삼촌이 나를 속이심은 어찜이니이까?'
The next morning, Jacob was shocked to see that it was Leah who was with him! So he went to Laban [and told him] very angrily, “(What you have done to me is disgusting!/What is this that you have done to me?) [RHQ] I worked for you to get Rachel, did I not? So why did you deceive me?”
26 라반이 가로되 `형보다 아우를 먼저 주는 것은 우리 지방에서 하지 아니하는 바이라
Laban replied, “In this land, it is not our custom to give a younger daughter to be married before we let someone marry our firstborn daughter.
27 이를 위하여 칠일을 채우라 우리가 그도 네게 주리니 네가 그를 위하여 또 칠년을 내게 봉사할지니라'
After we finish this week of celebration, we will let you marry the younger one also. But in return, you must pay for Rachel by working for me for another seven years.”
28 야곱이 그대로 하여 그 칠일을 채우매 라반이 딸 라헬도 그에게 아내로 주고
So that is what Jacob did. After the week of celebration was ended, Laban gave him his daughter, Rachel, to be his wife.
29 라반이 또 그 여종 빌하를 그 딸 라헬에게 주어 시녀가 되게 하매
Laban gave his slave girl, Bilhah, to Rachel to be her maid/servant.
30 야곱이 또한 라헬에게로 들어갔고 그가 레아보다 라헬을 더 사랑하고 다시 칠년을 라반에게 봉사하였더라
Jacob had sex [EUP] with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than he loved Leah. And Jacob worked for Laban for another seven years.
31 여호와께서 레아에게 총이 없음을 보시고 그의 태를 여셨으나 라헬은 무자하였더라
When Yahweh saw that Jacob did not love Leah [very much], he enabled her to become pregnant. But Rachel was not able to become pregnant.
32 레아가 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 그 이름을 르우벤이라 하여 가로되 `여호와께서 나의 괴로움을 권고하셨으니 이제는 내 남편이 나를 사랑하리로다' 하였더라
Leah gave birth to a son, whom she named Reuben, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘Look, a son]!’ She said, “Yahweh has seen that I was miserable, and because of that he has given me a son. Now, surely my husband will love me for giving birth to a son for him.”
33 그가 다시 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 `여호와께서 나의 총이 없음을 들으셨으므로 내게 이도 주셨도다' 하고 그 이름을 시므온이라 하였으며
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “Because Yahweh has heard that my husband doesn’t love me, he has given me this son, too.” So she named him Simeon, [which means ‘someone who hears’].
34 그가 또 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 `내가 그에게 세 아들을 낳았으니 내 남편이 지금부터 나와 연합하리로다' 하고 그 이름을 레위라 하였으며
Later she became pregnant again, and gave birth to another son. She said, “Now, finally, my husband will hold me close to him.” So she named him Levi, [which means ‘hold close’].
35 그가 또 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 `내가 이제는 여호와를 찬송하리로다!' 하고 이로 인하여 그가 그 이름을 유다라 하였고 그의 생산이 멈추었더라
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “(This time/Now) I will praise Yahweh.” So she called his name Judah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘praise’]. After that, she did not give birth to any more children [for several years].
