Genesis 30
1 And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said unto Jacob, Give me children, and if not, 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 acendeu a ira de Jacob contra Rachel, e disse: Estou eu no lugar de Deus, que te impediu o fruto de teu ventre?
3 And she said, Behold, [here is] my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children 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 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid for wife, and Jacob went in unto her.
Assim lhe deu a Bilha sua serva por mulher: e Jacob entrou a ela.
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore 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 também ouviu a minha voz, e me deu um filho; por isso chamou o seu nome Dan.
7 And Bilhah, Rachel's maid, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
E Bilha, serva de Rachel, concebeu outra vez, e pariu a Jacob o segundo filho.
8 And Rachel said, Contests of God have I contended with my sister, I have also prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
Então disse Rachel: Com lutas de Deus tenho lutado com minha irmã, também venci; e chamou o seu nome Naphtali.
9 When Leah now saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her to Jacob for 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 maid bore Jacob a son.
E pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um filho a Jacob.
11 And Leah said, Good luck hath come: and she called his name Gad.
Então disse Leah: Vem uma turba: e chamou o seu nome Gad.
12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bore a second son unto Jacob.
Depois pariu Zilpah, serva de Leah, um segundo filho a Jacob.
13 And Leah said, To my happiness; for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
Então disse Leah: Para minha ventura; porque as filhas me terão por benaventurada: e chamou o seu nome Asher.
14 And Reuben went in the days of the wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and he brought them unto Leah his mother; then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, [some] 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 not enough that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldst thou also take away my son's mandrakes? And Rachel said, Therefore shall he be with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.
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 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Unto me thou must come in; for surely I have obtained thee as a reward with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with 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 hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived and bore 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 reward, because I have given my maid 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 bore a sixth son unto Jacob.
E Leah concebeu outra vez, e pariu a Jacob um sexto filho.
20 And Leah said, God hath endued 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 dádiva; desta vez morará o meu marido comigo, porque lhe tenho parido seis filhos: e chamou o seu nome Zebulon.
21 And afterward she bore a daughter, and she 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 bore a son; and she said, God hath taken away my reproach.
E ela concebeu, e pariu um filho, e disse: Tirou-me Deus a minha vergonha.
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying, The Lord shall add to me another son.
E chamou o seu nome José, dizendo: O Senhor me acrescente 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 my 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 lugar, e à 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 with which I have served thee.
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 unto him, If I could but find favor in thy eyes; I have learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake:
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 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give them.
E disse mais: Determina-me o teu salário, que to darei.
29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and what thy cattle hath become with me.
Então lhe disse: Tu sabes como te tenho servido, e como passou o teu gado comigo.
30 For it was a little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased into a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming; and now when shall I provide also for my own house?
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 he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me the least; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:
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 I will pass through all thy flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted lamb, and every brown lamb among the sheep, and whatever is spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be after this my reward.
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 my righteousness shall testify for me in time to come, when it shall come with my reward before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
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, Well, let it be according to thy word.
Então disse Labão: Eis que oxalá seja conforme à tua palavra.
35 And he removed on that day the he-goats that were ring-streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had some white on it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand 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 he put a space of three days' journey between himself and Jacob; and Jacob fed the flocks of Laban that were left.
E pôs três dias de caminho entre si e Jacob: e Jacob apascentava o resto dos rebanhos de Labão.
37 And Jacob took himself rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and peeled thereon white streaks, laying bare the white which was on the rods.
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 set the rods which he had peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink, just before the flocks, and where they conceived, when they came to drink.
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 the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.
E concebia o rebanho diante das varas, e as ovelhas pariam listrados, salpicados e malhados.
40 And these lambs did Jacob separate, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked, and whatever was brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not with Laban's cattle.
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 it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
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 cattle were feeble, he put them not in; so the feebler belonged to Laban, and the stronger to Jacob.
Mas quando enfraqueceu o rebanho, não as pos. Assim as fracas eram de Labão, e as fortes de Jacob.
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and he had many 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.
