Gênesis 29
1 Então poz-se Jacob a pé, e foi-se á terra dos filhos de oriente;
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
2 E olhou, e eis um poço no campo, e eis tres rebanhos d'ovelhas que estavam deitados junto a elle; porque d'aquelle poço davam de beber aos rebanhos: e havia uma grande pedra sobre a bocca do poço.
And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, three flocks of sheep lying there by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and the stone upon the well’s mouth was great.
3 E ajuntavam ali todos os rebanhos, e removiam a pedra de sobre a bocca do poço, e davam de beber ás ovelhas: e tornavam a pôr a pedra sobre a bocca do poço, no seu logar.
And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in its place.
4 E disse-lhes Jacob: Meus irmãos, d'onde sois? E disseram: Somos de Haran.
And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
5 E elle lhes disse: Conheceis a Labão, filho de Nachor? E disseram: Conhecemos.
And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6 Disse-lhes mais: Está elle bem? E disseram: Está bem, e eis aqui Rachel sua filha, que vem com as ovelhas.
And he said unto them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
7 E elle disse: Eis que ainda é muito dia, não é tempo de ajuntar o gado; dae de beber ás ovelhas, e ide, apascentae-as.
And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
8 E disseram: Não podemos, até que todos os rebanhos se ajuntem, e removam a pedra de sobre a bocca do poço, para que demos de beber ás ovelhas.
And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
9 Estando elle ainda fallando com elles, veiu Rachel com as ovelhas de seu pae: porque ella era pastora.
While he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep; for she kept them.
10 E aconteceu que, vendo Jacob a Rachel, filha de Labão, irmão de sua mãe, e as ovelhas de Labão, irmão de sua mãe, chegou Jacob, e revolveu a pedra de sobre a bocca do poço, e deu de beber ás ovelhas de Labão, irmão de sua mãe.
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 well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
11 E Jacob beijou a Rachel, e levantou a sua voz, e chorou.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 E Jacob annunciou a Rachel que era irmão de seu pae, e que era filho de Rebecca: então ella correu, e o annunciou a seu pae.
And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father.
13 E aconteceu que, ouvindo Labão as novas de Jacob, filho de sua irmã, correu-lhe ao encontro, e abraçou-o, e beijou-o, e levou-o á sua casa: e contou elle a Labão todas estas coisas.
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.
14 Então Labão disse-lhe: Verdadeiramente és tu o meu osso e a minha carne. E ficou com elle um mez inteiro.
And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
15 Depois disse Labão a Jacob: Porque tu és meu irmão, has de servir-me de graça? declara-me qual será o teu salario.
And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16 E Labão tinha duas filhas; o nome da mais velha era Leah, e o nome da menor Rachel.
And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Leah porém tinha olhos tenros, mas Rachel era de formoso semblante e formosa á vista.
And Leah’s eyes were tender; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
18 E Jacob amava a Rachel, e disse: Sete annos te servirei por Rachel, tua filha menor.
And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Então disse Labão: Melhor é que eu t'a dê, do que eu a dê a outro varão: fica commigo.
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
20 Assim serviu Jacob sete annos por Rachel; e foram aos seus olhos como poucos dias, pelo muito que a amava.
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
21 E disse Jacob a Labão: Dá-me minha mulher, porque meus dias são cumpridos, para que eu entre a ella.
And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 Então ajuntou Labão a todos os varões d'aquelle logar, e fez um banquete.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 E aconteceu, á tarde, que tomou Leah sua filha, e trouxe-lh'a: e entrou a ella.
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
24 E Labão deu sua serva Zilpah a Leah sua filha por serva.
And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for an handmaid.
25 E aconteceu pela manhã, eis que era Leah; pelo que disse a Labão: Porque me fizeste isso? não te tenho servido por Rachel? porque pois me enganaste?
And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
26 E disse Labão: Não se faz assim no nosso logar, que a menor se dê antes da primogenita.
And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Cumpre a semana d'esta; então te daremos tambem a outra, pelo serviço que ainda outros sete annos servires commigo.
Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 E Jacob fez assim: e cumpriu a semana d'esta: então lhe deu por mulher Rachel sua filha.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife.
29 E Labão deu sua serva Bilha por serva a Rachel, sua filha.
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid.
30 E entrou tambem a Rachel, e amou tambem a Rachel mais do que a Leah; e serviu com elle ainda outros sete annos.
And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31 Vendo pois o Senhor que Leah era aborrecida, abriu a sua madre; porém Rachel era esteril.
And the LORD saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
32 E concebeu Leah, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Ruben, porque disse: Porque o Senhor attendeu á minha afflicção, por isso agora me amará o meu marido.
And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.
33 E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Porquanto o Senhor ouviu que eu era aborrecida, me deu tambem este; e chamou o seu nome Simeão.
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I am hated, he hath therefore given me this [son] also: and she called his name Simeon.
34 E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Agora esta vez se ajuntará meu marido commigo, porque tres filhos lhe tenho parido: por isso chamou o seu nome Levi.
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
35 E concebeu outra vez, e pariu um filho, dizendo: Esta vez louvarei ao Senhor. Por isso chamou o seu nome Judah: e cessou de parir.
And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, This time will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and she left bearing.
