Genesis 30
1 Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.
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 But Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said, Am I in the place of God, who has kept your body from having fruit?
Então se acendeu a ira de Jacob contra Rachel, e disse: Estou eu no lugar de Deus, que te impediu o fruto de teu ventre?
3 Then she said, Here is my servant Bilhah, go in to her, so that she may have a child on my knees, and I may have a family by her.
E ela disse: Eis aqui minha serva Bilha; entra a ela, para que pára sobre os meus joelhos, e eu também seja edificada dela.
4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.
Assim lhe deu a Bilha sua serva por mulher: e Jacob entrou a ela.
5 And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son.
E concebeu Bilha, e pariu a Jacob um filho.
6 Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named Dan.
Então disse Rachel: Julgou-me Deus, e também ouviu a minha voz, e me deu um filho; por isso chamou o seu nome Dan.
7 And again Bilhah, Rachel's servant, was with child, and gave birth to a second son.
E Bilha, serva de Rachel, concebeu outra vez, e pariu a Jacob o segundo filho.
8 And Rachel said, I have had a great fight with my sister, and I have overcome her: and she gave the child the name Naphtali.
Então disse Rachel: Com lutas de Deus tenho lutado com minha irmã, também venci; e chamou o seu nome Naphtali.
9 When it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, to Jacob as a wife.
Vendo pois Leah que cessava de parir, tomou também a Zilpah sua serva, e deu-a a Jacob por mulher.
10 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son.
E pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um filho a Jacob.
11 And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad.
Então disse Leah: Vem uma turba: e chamou o seu nome Gad.
12 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a second son.
Depois pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um segundo filho a Jacob.
13 And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name Asher.
Então disse Leah: Para minha ventura; porque as filhas me terão por benaventurada: e chamou o seu nome Asher.
14 Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.
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 But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.
E ela lhe disse: É já pouco que hajas tomado o meu marido, tomarás também as mandrágoras do meu filho? Então disse Rachel: Por isso se deitará contigo esta noite pelas mandrágoras de teu filho.
16 In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night.
Vindo pois Jacob à 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 ela aquela noite.
17 And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son.
E ouviu Deus a Leah, e concebeu, e pariu um quinto filho.
18 Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the 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 again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son.
E Leah concebeu outra vez, e pariu a Jacob um sexto filho.
20 And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun.
E disse Leah: Deus me deu a mim uma boa dádiva; desta vez morará o meu marido comigo, porque lhe tenho parido seis filhos: e chamou o seu nome Zebulon.
21 After that she had a daughter, to whom she gave the name Dinah.
E depois pariu uma filha, e chamou o seu nome Dinah.
22 Then God gave thought to Rachel, and hearing her prayer he made her fertile.
E lembrou-se Deus de Rachel, e Deus a ouviu, e abriu a sua madre,
23 And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame.
E ela concebeu, e pariu um filho, e disse: Tirou-me Deus a minha vergonha.
24 And she gave him the name Joseph, saying, May the Lord give me another son.
E chamou o seu nome José, dizendo: O Senhor me acrescente outro filho.
25 Now after the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Let me go away to my place and my country.
E aconteceu que, como Rachel pariu a José, disse Jacob a Labão: Deixa-me ir, que me vá ao meu lugar, e à minha terra.
26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done for you.
Dá-me as minhas mulheres, e os meus filhos, pelas quais te tenho servido, e ir-me-ei; pois tu sabes o meu serviço, que te tenho feito.
27 And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to me because of you.
Então lhe disse Labão: Se agora tenho achado graça em teus olhos, fica comigo. Tenho experimentado que o Senhor me abençoou por amor de ti.
28 Say then what your payment is to be and I will give it.
E disse mais: Determina-me o teu salário, que to darei.
29 Then Jacob said, You have seen what I have done for you, and how your cattle have done well under my care.
Então lhe disse: Tu sabes como te tenho servido, e como passou o teu gado comigo.
30 For before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family?
Porque o pouco que tinhas antes de mim, é aumentado até uma multidão: e o Senhor te tem abençoado por meu trabalho. Agora pois, quando hei de trabalhar também por minha casa?
31 And Laban said, What am I to give you? And Jacob said, Do not give me anything; but I will again take up the care of your flock if you will only do this for me:
E disse ele: Que te darei? Então disse Jacob: Nada me darás; se me fizeres isto, tornarei a apascentar e a guardar o teu rebanho.
32 Let me go through all your flock today, taking out from among them all the sheep which are marked or coloured or black, and all the marked or coloured goats: these will be my payment.
Passarei hoje por todo o teu rebanho, separando dele 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 salário.
33 And so you will be able to put my honour to the test in time to come; if you see among my flocks any goats which are not marked or coloured, or any sheep which is not black, you may take me for a thief.
Assim testificará por mim a minha justiça no dia de amanhã, quando vieres e o meu salário estiver diante de tua face: tudo o que não for salpicado e malhado entre as cabras e moreno entre os cordeiros, ser-me-á por furto.
34 And Laban said, Let it be as you say.
Então disse Labão: Eis que oxalá seja conforme à tua palavra.
35 So that day he took all the he-goats which were banded or coloured, and all the she-goats which were marked or coloured or had white marks, and all the black sheep, and gave them into the care of his sons;
E separou naquele 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 sent them three days' journey away: and Jacob took care of the rest of Laban's flock.
E pôs três dias de caminho entre si e Jacob: e Jacob apascentava o resto dos rebanhos de Labão.
37 Then Jacob took young branches of trees, cutting off the skin so that the white wood was seen in bands.
Então tomou Jacob varas verdes de álamo, e de aveleira e de castanheiro, e descascou nelas riscas brancas, descobrindo a brancura que nas varas havia,
38 And he put the banded sticks in the drinking-places where the flock came to get water; and they became with young when they came to the water.
E pôs estas varas, que tinha descascado, em frente do rebanho, nos canos e nas pias d'água, aonde o rebanho vinha a beber, e conceberam vindo a beber.
39 And because of this, the flock gave birth to young which were marked with bands of colour.
E concebia o rebanho diante das varas, e as ovelhas pariam listrados, salpicados e malhados.
40 These lambs Jacob kept separate; and he put his flock in a place by themselves and not with Laban's flock.
Então separou Jacob os cordeiros, e pôs as faces do rebanho para os listrados, e todo o moreno entre o rebanho de Labão; e pôs o seu rebanho à parte, e não o pôs com o rebanho de Labão.
41 And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks.
E sucedia 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 flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban's and the stronger were Jacob's.
Mas quando enfraqueceu o rebanho, não as pos. Assim as fracas eram de Labão, e as fortes de Jacob.
43 So Jacob's wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-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.
