Genesis 29
1 And Jacob continued his journey, and went into the land of the children of the east.
雅各起行，到了东方人之地，
2 And he looked, and behold, there was a well in the fields, and behold there, three flocks of sheep were lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks, and a great stone was at the mouth of the well.
看见田间有一口井，有三群羊卧在井旁；因为人饮羊群都是用那井里的水。井口上的石头是大的。
3 And when all the flocks were gathered there, they rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the mouth of the well in its place.
常有羊群在那里聚集，牧人把石头转离井口饮羊，随后又把石头放在井口的原处。
4 And Jacob said to them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
雅各对牧人说：“弟兄们，你们是哪里来的？”他们说：“我们是哈兰来的。”
5 And he said to them, Do ye know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We do know [him].
他问他们说：“拿鹤的孙子拉班，你们认识吗？”他们说：“我们认识。”
6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, [He is] well; and behold, there comes Rachel his daughter with the sheep.
雅各说：“他平安吗？”他们说：“平安。看哪，他女儿拉结领着羊来了。”
7 And he said, Behold, it is yet high day; it is not time that the cattle should be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, feed [them].
雅各说：“日头还高，不是羊群聚集的时候，你们不如饮羊，再去放一放。”
8 And they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and we water the sheep.
他们说：“我们不能，必等羊群聚齐，人把石头转离井口才可饮羊。”
9 While he was still speaking to them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
雅各正和他们说话的时候，拉结领着她父亲的羊来了，因为那些羊是她牧放的。
10 And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.
雅各看见母舅拉班的女儿拉结和母舅拉班的羊群，就上前把石头转离井口，饮他母舅拉班的羊群。
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.
雅各与拉结亲嘴，就放声而哭。
12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was a brother of her father, and that he was Rebecca's son; and she ran and told her father.
雅各告诉拉结，自己是她父亲的外甥，是利百加的儿子，拉结就跑去告诉她父亲。
13 And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house; and he told Laban all these things.
拉班听见外甥雅各的信息，就跑去迎接，抱着他，与他亲嘴，领他到自己的家。雅各将一切的情由告诉拉班。
14 And Laban said to him, Thou art indeed my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him a month's time.
拉班对他说：“你实在是我的骨肉。”雅各就和他同住了一个月。
15 And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou serve me for nothing? tell me, what shall be thy wages?
拉班对雅各说：“你虽是我的骨肉，岂可白白地服事我？请告诉我，你要什么为工价？”
16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
拉班有两个女儿，大的名叫利亚，小的名叫拉结。
17 And the eyes of Leah were tender; but Rachel was of beautiful form and beautiful countenance.
利亚的眼睛没有神气，拉结却生得美貌俊秀。
18 And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
雅各爱拉结，就说：“我愿为你小女儿拉结服事你七年。”
19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
拉班说：“我把她给你，胜似给别人，你与我同住吧！”
20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they were in his eyes as single days, because he loved her.
雅各就为拉结服事了七年；他因为深爱拉结，就看这七年如同几天。
21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give [me] my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
雅各对拉班说：“日期已经满了，求你把我的妻子给我，我好与她同房。”
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
拉班就摆设筵席，请齐了那地方的众人。
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.
到晚上，拉班将女儿利亚送来给雅各，雅各就与她同房。
24 And Laban gave to her Zilpah, his maidservant, to be maidservant to Leah his daughter.
拉班又将婢女悉帕给女儿利亚作使女。
25 And it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Have I not served thee for Rachel? Why then hast thou deceived me?
到了早晨，雅各一看是利亚，就对拉班说：“你向我做的是什么事呢？我服事你，不是为拉结吗？你为什么欺哄我呢？”
26 And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
拉班说：“大女儿还没有给人，先把小女儿给人，在我们这地方没有这规矩。
27 Fulfil the week [with] this one: then we will give thee the other one also, for the service that thou shalt serve me yet seven other years.
你为这个满了七日，我就把那个也给你，你再为她服事我七年。”
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week [with] this one, and he gave him Rachel his daughter to be his wife.
雅各就如此行。满了利亚的七日，拉班便将女儿拉结给雅各为妻。
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, Bilhah, his maidservant, to be her maidservant.
拉班又将婢女辟拉给女儿拉结作使女。
30 And he went in also to Rachel; and he loved also Rachel more than Leah. And he served with him yet seven other years.
雅各也与拉结同房，并且爱拉结胜似爱利亚，于是又服事了拉班七年。
31 And when Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
耶和华见利亚失宠，就使她生育，拉结却不生育。
32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Reuben; for she said, Because Jehovah has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.
利亚怀孕生子，就给他起名叫吕便，因而说：“耶和华看见我的苦情，如今我的丈夫必爱我。”
33 And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this one also; and she called his name Simeon.
她又怀孕生子，就说：“耶和华因为听见我失宠，所以又赐给我这个儿子”，于是给他起名叫西缅。
34 And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Now this time will my husband be united to me, for I have borne him three sons; therefore was his name called Levi.
她又怀孕生子，起名叫利未，说：“我给丈夫生了三个儿子，他必与我联合。”
35 And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, This time will I praise Jehovah; therefore she called his name Judah. And she ceased to bear.
她又怀孕生子，说：“这回我要赞美耶和华”，因此给他起名叫犹大。这才停了生育。
