Бытие 29
1 И востав Иаков на нозе, иде в землю восточную к Лавану сыну Вафуила Сирина, брату же Ревекки матере Иаковли и Исавли.
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
2 Узре же, и се, кладязь на поли: и бяху тамо три стада овец, почивающе при нем: от того бо кладязя напаяхуся стада. Камень же велий бяше над устием кладязя.
And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth.
3 И собирахуся тамо вся стада: и отваляху камень от устия кладязя и напаяху овцы: и паки полагаху камень на устии кладязя на месте своем.
And there 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 Рече же им Иаков: братия, откуду есте вы? Они же реша: от Харрана есмы.
And Jacob said to them, My brethren, from where are ye? And they said, We are from Haran.
5 Рече же им: знаете ли Лавана сына Нахорова? Они же реша: знаем.
And he said to them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6 Рече же им: здравствует ли? Они же реша: здравствует. И се, Рахиль дщи его идяше со овцами.
And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
7 И рече Иаков: еще есть дне много, не у час собирати скота: напоивше овцы, шедше пасите.
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 Они же реша: не можем, дондеже соберутся вси пастуси и отвалят камень от устия кладязя, и напоим овцы.
And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks are gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
9 Еще ему глаголющу к ним, и се, Рахиль дщи Лаваня грядяше со овцами отца своего: она бо пасяше овцы отца своего.
And while he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she kept them.
10 Бысть же яко узре Иаков Рахиль дщерь Лавана брата матере своея и овцы Лавана брата матере своея, и приступив Иаков отвали камень от устия кладязя:
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 и напои овцы Лавана брата матере своея, и целова Иаков Рахиль, и возопив гласом своим, восплакася:
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 и поведа Рахили, яко брат отца ея есть и яко сын Ревеккин есть. И текши поведа отцу своему по словесем сим.
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 Бысть же яко услыша Лаван имя Иакова сына сестры своея, тече во сретение ему и объемь его лобза, и введе его в дом свой. И поведа Лавану вся словеса сия.
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 И рече ему Лаван: от костей моих и от плоти моея еси ты. И бе с ним месяц дний.
And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
15 Рече же Лаван Иакову: понеже брат мой еси ты, да не поработаеши мне туне: повеждь ми, что мзда твоя есть?
And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nothing? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16 У Лавана же бесте две дщери: имя старейшей Лиа, имя же юнейшей Рахиль.
And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Очи же Лиины болезненны: Рахиль же бе добра видом и красна взором зело.
Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
18 Возлюби же Иаков Рахиль. И рече: поработаю тебе седмь лет за Рахиль дщерь твою меншую.
And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Рече же ему Лаван: лучше ми тебе дати ю, нежели иному отдати мужеви: со мною живи.
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 И работа Иаков за Рахиль седмь лет: и быша пред ним яко малы дни, занеже любяше ю.
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
21 Рече же Иаков Лавану: даждь ми жену мою, понеже совершишася дние, да вниду к ней.
And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
22 Собра же Лаван вся мужы места того, и сотвори брак.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 И бысть вечер, и поемь Лаван Лию дщерь свою, введе ко Иакову: и вниде к ней Иаков.
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.
24 Даде же Лаван Лии дщери своей Зелфу рабыню свою, ей в рабу.
And Laban gave to his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
25 Бысть же заутра, и се, бяше Лиа, и рече Иаков Лавану: что сие сотворил ми еси? Не Рахили ли ради работах у тебе? Вскую же обидел мя еси?
And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? did I not serve with thee for Rachel? why then hast thou deceived me?
26 Отвеща же Лаван: несть тако в нашем месте вдати меншую прежде старейшия.
And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Скончай убо седмины сея, и дам ти и сию за дело, еже делаеши у мене еще седмь лет другия.
Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 Сотвори же Иаков тако: и исполни седмины сея: и даде ему Лаван Рахиль дщерь свою ему в жену.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter for a wife also.
29 Даде же Лаван Рахили дщери своей Валлу рабу свою, ей в рабу.
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
30 И вниде (Иаков) к Рахили: возлюби же Рахиль паче, неже Лию: и работа ему седмь лет другия.
And he went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31 Видев же Господь Бог, яко ненавидима бяше Лиа, отверзе ложесна ея: Рахиль же бяше неплоды.
And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
32 И зачат Лиа и роди сына Иакову: нарече же имя ему Рувим, глаголя: яко призре Господь на мое смирение и даде ми сына: ныне убо возлюбит мя муж мой.
And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
33 И зачат паки Лиа и роди сына втораго Иакову и рече: зане услыша Господь, яко ненавидима есмь, и придаде ми и сего. И нарече имя ему Симеон.
And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
34 И зачат еще и роди сына и рече: в нынешнее время у мене будет муж мой, родих бо ему три сыны. Сего ради нарече имя ему Левий.
And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time will my husband love me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
35 И заченши еще роди сына и рече: ныне еще сие исповем Господу. Сего ради нарече имя ему Иуда, и преста раждати.
And she conceived again, and bore a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and stopped bearing.
