Genesis 30
1 When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I will die.”
拉结见自己不给雅各生子，就嫉妒她姊姊，对雅各说：“你给我孩子，不然我就死了。”
2 Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in God’s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
雅各向拉结生气，说：“叫你不生育的是 神，我岂能代替他作主呢？”
3 She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.”
拉结说：“有我的使女辟拉在这里，你可以与她同房，使她生子在我膝下，我便因她也得孩子。”
4 She gave him Bilhah her servant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
拉结就把她的使女辟拉给丈夫为妾；雅各便与她同房，
5 Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
辟拉就怀孕，给雅各生了一个儿子。
6 Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.
拉结说：“神伸了我的冤，也听了我的声音，赐我一个儿子”，因此给他起名叫但。
7 Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
拉结的使女辟拉又怀孕，给雅各生了第二个儿子。
8 Rachel said, “I have wrestled with my sister with mighty wrestlings, and have prevailed.” She named him Naphtali.
拉结说：“我与我姊姊大大相争，并且得胜”，于是给他起名叫拿弗他利。
9 When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
利亚见自己停了生育，就把使女悉帕给雅各为妾。
10 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a son.
利亚的使女悉帕给雅各生了一个儿子。
11 Leah said, “How fortunate!” She named him Gad.
利亚说：“万幸！”于是给他起名叫迦得。
12 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a second son.
利亚的使女悉帕又给雅各生了第二个儿子。
13 Leah said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She named him Asher.
利亚说：“我有福啊，众女子都要称我是有福的”，于是给他起名叫亚设。
14 Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
割麦子的时候，吕便往田里去，寻见风茄，拿来给他母亲利亚。拉结对利亚说：“请你把你儿子的风茄给我些。”
15 Leah 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 said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”
利亚说：“你夺了我的丈夫还算小事吗？你又要夺我儿子的风茄吗？”拉结说：“为你儿子的风茄，今夜他可以与你同寝。”
16 Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah 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.
到了晚上，雅各从田里回来，利亚出来迎接他，说：“你要与我同寝，因为我实在用我儿子的风茄把你雇下了。”那一夜，雅各就与她同寝。
17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
神应允了利亚，她就怀孕，给雅各生了第五个儿子。
18 Leah said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my servant to my husband.” She named him Issachar.
利亚说：“神给了我价值，因为我把使女给了我丈夫”，于是给他起名叫以萨迦。
19 Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
利亚又怀孕，给雅各生了第六个儿子。
20 Leah 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.
利亚说：“神赐我厚赏；我丈夫必与我同住，因我给他生了六个儿子”，于是给他起名西布伦。
21 Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.
后来又生了一个女儿，给她起名叫底拿。
22 God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
神顾念拉结，应允了她，使她能生育。
23 She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
拉结怀孕生子，说：“神除去了我的羞耻”，
24 She named him Joseph, saying, “May the LORD add another son to me.”
就给他起名叫约瑟，意思说：“愿耶和华再增添我一个儿子。”
25 When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
拉结生约瑟之后，雅各对拉班说：“请打发我走，叫我回到我本乡本土去。
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.”
请你把我服事你所得的妻子和儿女给我，让我走；我怎样服事你，你都知道。”
27 Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.”
拉班对他说：“我若在你眼前蒙恩，请你仍与我同住，因为我已算定，耶和华赐福与我是为你的缘故”；
28 He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
又说：“请你定你的工价，我就给你。”
29 Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
雅各对他说：“我怎样服事你，你的牲畜在我手里怎样，是你知道的。
30 For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. The LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”
我未来之先，你所有的很少，现今却发大众多，耶和华随我的脚步赐福与你。如今，我什么时候才为自己兴家立业呢？”
31 Laban said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
拉班说：“我当给你什么呢？”雅各说：“什么你也不必给我，只有一件事，你若应承，我便仍旧牧放你的羊群。
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.
今天我要走遍你的羊群，把绵羊中凡有点的、有斑的，和黑色的，并山羊中凡有斑的、有点的，都挑出来；将来这一等的就算我的工价。
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.”
以后你来查看我的工价，凡在我手里的山羊不是有点有斑的，绵羊不是黑色的，那就算是我偷的；这样便可证出我的公义来。”
34 Laban said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”
拉班说：“好啊！我情愿照着你的话行。”
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.
当日，拉班把有纹的、有斑的公山羊，有点的、有斑的、有杂白纹的母山羊，并黑色的绵羊，都挑出来，交在他儿子们的手下，
36 He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
又使自己和雅各相离三天的路程。雅各就牧养拉班其余的羊。
37 Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, and plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
雅各拿杨树、杏树、枫树的嫩枝，将皮剥成白纹，使枝子露出白的来，
38 He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
将剥了皮的枝子，对着羊群，插在饮羊的水沟里和水槽里，羊来喝的时候，牝牡配合。
39 The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks produced streaked, speckled, and spotted.
羊对着枝子配合，就生下有纹的、有点的、有斑的来。
40 Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in Laban’s flock. He put his own droves apart, and did not put them into Laban’s flock.
雅各把羊羔分出来，使拉班的羊与这有纹和黑色的羊相对，把自己的羊另放一处，不叫他和拉班的羊混杂。
41 Whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, Jacob laid the rods in front of the eyes of the flock in the watering troughs, that they might conceive among the rods;
到羊群肥壮配合的时候，雅各就把枝子插在水沟里，使羊对着枝子配合。
42 but when the flock were feeble, he did not put them in. So the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
只是到羊瘦弱配合的时候就不插枝子。这样，瘦弱的就归拉班，肥壮的就归雅各。
43 The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
于是雅各极其发大，得了许多的羊群、仆婢、骆驼，和驴。
