창세기 30
1 라헬이 자기가 야곱에게 아들을 낳지 못함을 보고 그 형을 투기하여 야곱에게 이르되 `나로 자식을 낳게 하라 그렇지 아니하면 내가 죽겠노라'
And Rachel having perceived that she bore Jacob no children, was jealous of her sister; and said to Jacob, Give me children; and if not, I shall die.
2 야곱이 라헬에게 노를 발하여 가로되 `그대로 성태치 못하게 하시는 이는 하나님이시니 내가 하나님을 대신하겠느냐?'
And Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said to her, Am I in the place of God, who has deprived thee of the fruit of the womb?
3 라헬이 가로되 `나의 여종 빌하에게로 들어가라 그가 아들을 낳아 내 무릎에 두리니 그러면 나도 그를 인하여 자식을 얻겠노라' 하고
And Rachel said to Jacob, Behold my handmaid Balla, go in to her, and she shall bear upon my knees, and I also shall have children by her.
4 그 시녀 빌하를 남편에게 첩으로 주매 야곱이 그에게로 들어갔더니
And she gave him Balla her maid, for a wife to him; and Jacob went in to her.
5 빌하가 잉태하여 야곱에게 아들을 낳은지라
And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
6 라헬이 가로되 `하나님이 내 억울함을 푸시려고 내 소리를 들으사 내게 아들을 주셨다' 하고 이로 인하여 그 이름을 단이라 하였으며
And Rachel said, God has given judgment for me, and hearkened to my voice, and has given me a son; therefore she called his name, Dan.
7 라헬의 시녀 빌하가 다시 잉태하여 둘째 아들을 야곱에게 낳으매
And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived yet again, and bore a second son to Jacob.
8 라헬이 가로되 `내가 형과 크게 경쟁하여 이기었다' 하고 그 이름을 납달리라 하였더라
And Rachel said, God has helped me, and I contended with my sister and prevailed; and she called his name, Nephthalim.
9 레아가 자기의 생산이 멈춤을 보고 그 시녀 실바를 취하여 야곱에게 주어 첩을 삼게 하였더니
And Lea saw that she ceased from bearing, and she took Zelpha her maid, and gave her to Jacob for a wife; and he went in to her.
10 레아의 시녀 실바가 야곱에게 아들을 낳으매
And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
11 레아가 가로되 `복되도다' 하고 그 이름을 갓이라 하였으며
And Lea said, [It is] happily: and she called his name, Gad.
12 레아의 시녀 실바가 둘째 아들을 야곱에게 낳으매
And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived yet again, and bore Jacob a second son.
13 레아가 가로되 `기쁘도다 모든 딸들이 나를 기쁜 자라 하리로다' 하고 그 이름을 아셀이라 하였더라
And Lea said, I am blessed, for the women will pronounce me blessed; and she called his name, Aser.
14 맥추 때에 르우벤이 나가서 들에서 합환채를 얻어 어미 레아에게 드렸더니 라헬이 레아에게 이르되 `형의 아들의 합환채를 청구하노라'
And Ruben went in the day of barley-harvest, and found apples of mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Lea; and Rachel said to Lea her sister, Give me of thy son's mandrakes.
15 레아가 그에게 이르되 `네가 내 남편을 빼앗은 것이 작은 일이냐? 네가 내 아들의 합환채도 빼앗고자 하느냐?' 라헬이 가로되 `그러면 형의 아들의 합환채 대신에 오늘밤에 내 남편이 형과 동침하리라' 하리라
And Lea said, [Is it] not enough for thee that thou hast taken my husband, wilt thou also take my son's mandrakes? And Rachel said, Not so: let him lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.
16 저물 때에 야곱이 들에서 돌아오매 레아가 나와서 그를 영접하며 이르되 `내게로 들어오라 내가 내 아들의 합환채로 당신을 샀노라' 그 밤에 야곱이 그와 동침하였더라
And Jacob came in out of the field at even; and Lea went forth to meet him, and said, Thou shalt come in to me this day, for I have hired thee for my son's mandrakes; and he lay with her that night.
17 하나님이 레아를 들으셨으므로 그가 잉태하여 다섯째 아들을 야곱에게 낳은지라
And God hearkened to Lea, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
18 레아가 가로되 `내가 내 시녀를 남편에게 주었으므로 하나님이 내게 그 값을 주셨다' 하고 그 이름을 잇사갈이라 하였으며
And Lea said, God has given me my reward, because I gave my maid to my husband; and she called his name Issachar, which is, Reward.
19 레아가 다시 잉태하여 여섯째 아들을 야곱에게 낳은지라
And Lea conceived again, and bore Jacob a sixth son.
20 레아가 가로되 `하나님이 네게 후한 선물을 주시도다 내가 남편에게 여섯 아들을 낳았으니 이제는 그가 나와 함께 거하리라' 하고 그 이름을 스불론이라 하였으며
And Lea said, God has given me a good gift in this time; my husband will choose me, for I have born him six sons: and she called his name, Zabulon.
21 그 후에 그가 딸을 낳고 그 이름을 디나라 하였더라
And after this she bore a daughter; and she called her name, Dina.
22 하나님이 라헬을 생각하신지라 하나님이 그를 들으시고 그 태를 여신고로
And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and he opened her womb.
23 그가 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 `하나님이 나의 부끄러움을 씻으셨다' 하고
And she conceived, and bore Jacob a son; and Rachel said, God has taken away my reproach.
24 그 이름을 요셉이라 하니 여호와는 다시 다른 아들을 내게 더하시기를 원하노라 함이었더라
And she called his name Joseph, saying, Let God add to me another son.
25 라헬이 요셉을 낳은 때에 야곱이 라반에게 이르되 `나를 보내어 내 고향 내 본토로 가게 하시되
And it came to pass when Rachel had born Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my land.
26 내가 외삼촌에게서 일하고 얻은 처자를 내게 주어 나로 가게 하소서 내가 외삼촌께 한 일은 외삼촌이 아시나이다'
Restore my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart, for thou knowest the service wherewith I have served thee.
27 라반이 그에게 이르되 `여호와께서 너로 인하여 내게 복 주신줄을 내가 깨달았노니 네가 나를 사랑스럽게 여기거든 유하라'
And Laban said to him, If I have found grace in thy sight, I would augur [well], for the Lord has blessed me at thy coming in.
28 또 가로되 `네 품삯을 정하라 내가 그것을 주리라'
Appoint me thy wages, and I will give [them].
29 야곱이 그에게 이르되 `내가 어떻게 외삼촌을 섬겼는지, 어떻게 외삼촌의 짐승을 쳤는지 외삼촌이 아시나이다
And Jacob said, Thou knowest in what things I have served thee, and how many cattle of thine are with me.
30 내가 오기 전에는 외삼촌의 소유가 적더니 번성하여 떼를 이루었나이다 나의 공력을 따라 여호와께서 외삼촌에게 복을 주셨나이다 그러나 나는 어느 때에나 내 집을 세우리이까?'
For it was little thou hadst before my time, and it is increased to a multitude, and the Lord God has blessed thee since my coming; now then, when shall I set up also my own house?
31 라반이 가로되 내가 무엇으로 네게 주랴 야곱이 가로되 외삼촌께서 아무 것도 내게 주실 것이 아니라 나를 위하여 이 일을 행하시면 내가 다시 외삼촌의 양떼를 먹이고 지키리이다
And Laban said to him, What shall I give thee? and Jacob said to him, Thou shalt not give me anything; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again tend thy flocks and keep them.
Let all thy sheep pass by to-day, and separate thence every grey sheep among the rams, and every one that is speckled and spotted among the goats—[this] shall be my reward.
And my righteousness shall answer for me on the morrow, for it is my reward before thee: whatever shall not be spotted and speckled among the goats, and grey among the rams, shall be stolen with me.
And Laban said to him, Let it be according to thy word.
And he separated in that day the spotted and speckled he-goats, and all the spotted and speckled she-goats, and all that was grey among the rams, and every one that was white among them, and he gave them into the hand of his sons.
And he set a distance of a three days' journey between them and Jacob. And Jacob tended the cattle of Laban that were left behind.
And Jacob took to himself green rods of storax tree and walnut and plane-tree; and Jacob peeled in them white stripes; and as he drew off the green, the white stripe which he had made appeared alternate on the rods.
And he laid the rods which he had peeled, in the hollows of the watering-troughs, that whensoever the cattle should come to drink, as they should have come to drink before the rods, the cattle might conceive at the rods.
So the cattle conceived at the rods, and the cattle brought forth [young] speckled, and streaked and spotted with ash-coloured [spots].
And Jacob separated the lambs, and set before the sheep a speckled ram, and every variegated one among the lambs, and he separated flocks for himself alone, and did not mingle them with the sheep of Laban.
And it came to pass in the time wherein the cattle became pregnant, conceiving in the belly, Jacob put the rods before the cattle in the troughs, that they might conceive by the rods.
But he did not put them in [indiscriminately] whenever the cattle happened to bring forth, but the unmarked ones were Laban's, and the marked ones were Jacob's.
And the man became very rich, and he had many cattle, and oxen, and servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses.
