Genesis 30
1 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I 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 And Jacob’s anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God’s stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
Então se accendeu a ira de Jacob contra Rachel, e disse: Estou eu no logar de Deus, que te impediu o fructo de teu ventre?
3 And she said, Behold, my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; that she may bear upon my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.
E ella disse: Eis aqui minha serva Bilha; entra a ella, para que pára sobre os meus joelhos, e eu tambem seja edificada d'ella.
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
Assim lhe deu a Bilha sua serva por mulher: e Jacob entrou a ella.
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
E concebeu Bilha, e pariu a Jacob um filho.
6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
Então disse Rachel: Julgou-me Deus, e tambem ouviu a minha voz, e me deu um filho; por isso chamou o seu nome Dan.
7 And Bilhah Rachel’s handmaid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
E Bilha, serva de Rachel, concebeu outra vez, e pariu a Jacob o segundo filho.
8 And Rachel said, With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
Então disse Rachel: Com luctas de Deus tenho luctado com minha irmã, tambem venci; e chamou o seu nome Naphtali.
9 When Leah saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.
Vendo pois Leah que cessava de parir, tomou tambem a Zilpah sua serva, e deu-a a Jacob por mulher.
10 And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bare Jacob a son.
E pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um filho a Jacob.
11 And Leah said, Fortunate! and she called his name Gad.
Então disse Leah: Vem uma turba: e chamou o seu nome Gad.
12 And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bare Jacob a second son.
Depois pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um segundo filho a Jacob.
13 And Leah said, Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy: and she called his name Asher.
Então disse Leah: Para minha ventura; porque as filhas me terão por bemaventurada: e chamou o seu nome Asher.
14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy 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 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken away my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son’s mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son’s mandrakes.
E ella lhe disse: É já pouco que hajas tomado o meu marido, tomarás tambem as mandrágoras do meu filho? Então disse Rachel: Por isso se deitará comtigo esta noite pelas mandrágoras de teu filho.
16 And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for I have surely hired thee with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
Vindo pois Jacob á 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 ella aquella noite.
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob a fifth son.
E ouviu Deus a Leah, e concebeu, e pariu um quinto filho.
18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
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 And Leah conceived again, and bare a sixth son to Jacob.
E Leah concebeu outra vez, e pariu a Jacob um sexto filho.
20 And Leah said, God hath endowed me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
E disse Leah: Deus me deu a mim uma boa dadiva; d'esta vez morará o meu marido commigo, porque lhe tenho parido seis filhos: e chamou o seu nome Zebulon.
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
E depois pariu uma filha, e chamou o seu nome Dinah.
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
E lembrou-se Deus de Rachel, e Deus a ouviu, e abriu a sua madre,
23 And she conceived, and bare a son: and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
E ella concebeu, e pariu um filho, e disse: Tirou-me Deus a minha vergonha.
24 and she called his name Joseph, saying, Jehovah add to me another son.
E chamou o seu nome José, dizendo: O Senhor me accrescente outro filho.
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine 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 logar, e á minha terra.
26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service wherewith I have served thee.
Dá-me as minhas mulheres, e os meus filhos, pelas quaes te tenho servido, e ir-me-hei; pois tu sabes o meu serviço, que te tenho feito.
27 And Laban said unto him, If now I have found favor in thine eyes, [tarry]: [for] I have divined that Jehovah hath blessed me for thy sake.
Então lhe disse Labão: Se agora tenho achado graça em teus olhos, fica commigo. Tenho experimentado que o Senhor me abençoou por amor de ti.
28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
E disse mais: Determina-me o teu salario, que t'o darei.
29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me.
Então lhe disse: Tu sabes como te tenho servido, e como passou o teu gado commigo.
30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased unto a multitude; and Jehovah hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
Porque o pouco que tinhas antes de mim, é augmentado até uma multidão: e o Senhor te tem abençoado por meu trabalho. Agora pois, quando hei-de trabalhar tambem por minha casa?
31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me aught: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed thy flock and keep it.
E disse elle: 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 thy flock to-day, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and [of such] shall be my hire.
Passarei hoje por todo o teu rebanho, separando d'elle 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 salario.
33 So shall my righteousness answer for me hereafter, when thou shalt come concerning my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that, [if found] with me, shall be counted stolen.
Assim testificará por mim a minha justiça no dia d'ámanhã, quando vieres e o meu salario estiver diante de tua face: tudo o que não for salpicado e malhado entre as cabras e moreno entre os cordeiros, ser-me-ha por furto.
34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
Então disse Labão: Eis que oxalá seja conforme á tua palavra.
35 And he removed that day the he-goats that were ringstreaked and spotted, and all the she-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 n'aquelle 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 and he set three days’ journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
E poz tres dias de caminho entre si e Jacob: e Jacob apascentava o resto dos rebanhos de Labão.
37 And Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
Então tomou Jacob varas verdes d'alamo, e d'aveleira e de castanheiro, e descascou n'ellas riscas brancas, descobrindo a brancura que nas varas havia,
38 And he set the rods which he had peeled over against the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink; and they conceived when they came to drink.
E poz estas varas, que tinha descascado, em frente do rebanho, nos canos e nas pias d'agua, aonde o rebanho vinha a beber, e conceberam vindo a beber.
39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted.
E concebia o rebanho diante das varas, e as ovelhas pariam listrados, salpicados e malhados.
40 And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstreaked and all the black in the flock of Laban: and he put his own droves apart, and put them not unto Laban’s flock.
Então separou Jacob os cordeiros, e poz as faces do rebanho para os listrados, e todo o moreno entre o rebanho de Labão; e poz o seu rebanho á parte, e não o poz com o rebanho de Labão.
41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger of the flock did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;
E succedia 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 put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
Mas quando enfraqueceu o rebanho, não as poz. Assim as fracas eram de Labão, e as fortes de Jacob.
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses.
E cresceu o varão em grande maneira, e teve muitos rebanhos, e servas, e servos, e camelos e jumentos.
