창세기 29

1야곱이 발행하여 동방 사람의 땅에 이르러 2본즉 들에 우물이 있고 그 곁에 양 세 떼가 누웠으니 이는 목자들이 그 우물에서 물을 양떼에게 먹임이라 큰 돌로 우물 아구를 덮었다가 3모든 떼가 모이면 그들이 우물 아구에서 돌을 옮기고 양에게 물을 먹이고는 여전히 우물 아구 그 자리에 돌을 덮더라 4야곱이 그들에게 이르되 나의 형제여 어디로서뇨 그들이 가로되 하란에서로라 5야곱이 그들에게 이르되 너희가 나홀의 손자 라반을 아느냐 그들이 가로되 아노라 6야곱이 그들에게 이르되 그가 평안하냐 가로되 평안하니라 그 딸 라헬이 지금 양을 몰고 오느니라 7야곱이 가로되 해가 아직 높은즉 짐승 모일 때가 아니니 양에게 물을 먹이고 가서 뜯기라 8그들이 가로되 우리가 그리하지 못하겠노라 떼가 다 모이고 목자들이 우물 아구에서 돌을 옮겨야 우리가 양에게 물을 먹이느리라 9야곱이 그들과 말하는 중에 라헬이 그 아비의 양과 함께 오니 그가 그의 양들을 침이었더라 10야곱이 그 외삼촌 라반의 딸 라헬과 그 외삼촌의 양을 보고 나아가서 우물 아구에서 돌을 옮기고 외삼촌 라반의 양떼에게 물을 먹이고 11그가 라헬에게 입맞추고 소리내어 울며 12그에게 자기가 그의 아비의 생질이요 리브가의 아들됨을 고하였더니 라헬이 달려가서 그 아비에게 고하매 13라반이 그 생질 야곱의 소식을 듣고 달려와서 그를 영접하여 안고 입맞추고 자기 집으로 인도하여 들이니 야곱이 자기의 모든 일을 라반에게 고하매 14라반이 가로되 너는 참으로 나의 골육이로다 하였더라 야곱이 한달을 그와 함께 거하더니 15라반이 야곱에게 이르되 네가 비록 나의 생질이나 어찌 공으로 내 일만 하겠느냐 무엇이 네 보수겠느냐 내게 고하라 16라반이 두 딸이 있으니 형의 이름은 레아요 아우의 이름은 라헬이라 17레아는 안력이 부족하고 라헬은 곱고 아리따우니 18야곱이 라헬을 연애하므로 대답하되 내가 외삼춘의 작은 딸 라헬을 위하여 외삼촌에게 칠년을 봉사하리이다 19라반이 가로되 그를 네게 주는 것이 타인에게 주는 것보다 나으니 나와 함께 있으라 20야곱이 라헬을 위하여 칠년 동안 라반을 봉사하였으나 그를 연애하는 까닭에 칠년을 수일 같이 여겼더라 21야곱이 라반에게 이르되 내 기한이 찼으니 내 아내를 내게 주소서 내가 그에게 들어가겠나이다 22라반이 그곳 사람을 다 모아 잔치하고 23저녁에 그 딸 레아를 야곱에게로 데려가매 야곱이 그에게로 들어가니라 24라반이 또 그 여종 실바를 그 딸 레아에게 시녀로 주었더라 25야곱이 아침에 보니 레아라 라반에게 이르되 외삼촌이 어찌하여 내게 이같이 행하셨나이까 내가 라헬을 위하여 외삼촌께 봉사하지 아니하였나이까 외삼촌이 나를 속이심은 어찜이니이까 26라반이 가로되 형보다 아우를 먼저 주는 것은 우리 지방에서 하지 아니하는 바이라 27이를 위하여 칠 일을 채우라 우리가 그도 네게 주리니 네가 그를 위하여 또 칠년을 내게 봉사할지니라 28야곱이 그대로 하여 그 칠 일을 채우매 라반이 딸 라헬도 그에게 아내로 주고 29라반이 또 그 여종 빌하를 그 딸 라헬에게 주어 시녀가 되게하매 30야곱이 또한 라헬에게로 들어갔고 그가 레아보다 라헬을 더 사랑하고 다시 칠년을 라반에게 봉사하였더라 31여호와께서 레아에게 총이 없음을 보시고 그의 태를 여셨으나 라헬은 무자하였더라 32레아가 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 그 이름을 르우벤이라 하여 가로되 여호와께서 나의 괴로움을 권고하셨으니 이제는 내 남편이 나를 사랑하리로다 하였더라 33그가 다시 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 여호와께서 나의 총이 없음을 들으셨으므로 내게 이도 주셨도다 하고 그 이름을 시므온이라 하였으며 34그가 또 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 내가 그에게 세 아들을 낳았으니 내 남편이 지금부터 나와 연합하리로다 하고 그 이름을 레위라 하였으며 35그가 또 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 가로되 내가 이제는 여호와를 찬송하리로다 하고 이로 인하여 그가 그 이름을 유다라 하였고 그의 생산이 멈추었더라

1Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east. 2He looked, and behold, a well in the field, and, behold, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well’s mouth was large. 3There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the well’s mouth in its place. 4Jacob said to them, “My relatives, where are you from?” They said, “We are from Haran.” 5He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.” 6He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.” 7He said, “Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.” 8They said, “We can’t, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth. Then we water the sheep.” 9While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them. 10When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother. 11Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 12Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father. 13When Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things. 14Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” He lived with him for a month. 15Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?” 16Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive. 18Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.” 19Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.” 20Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her. 21Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.” 22Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. 23In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. He went in to her. 24Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid. 25In the morning, behold, it was Leah. He said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Didn’t I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?” 26Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn. 27Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me yet seven other years.” 28Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife. 29Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her handmaid. 30He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. 31Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren. 32Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction. For now my husband will love me.” 33She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon. 34She conceived again, and bore a son. Said, “Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi. 35She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time will I praise Yahweh.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.

1Toen hief Jakob zijn voeten op, en ging naar het land der kinderen van het Oosten. 2En hij zag toe, en ziet, er was een put in het veld; en ziet, er waren drie kudden schapen nevens dien nederliggende; want uit dien put drenkten zij de kudden; en er was een grote steen op den mond van dien put. 3En derwaarts werden al de kudden verzameld, en zij wentelden den steen van den mond des puts, en drenkten de schapen, en legden den steen weder op den mond van dien put, op zijn plaats. 4Toen zeide Jakob tot hen: Mijn broeders! van waar zijt gij? En zij zeiden: Wij zijn van Haran. 5En hij zeide tot hen: Kent gij Laban, den zoon van Nahor? En zij zeiden: Wij kennen hem. 6Voorts zeide hij tot hen: Is het wel met hem? En zij zeiden: Het is wel; en zie, Rachel, zijn dochter, komt met de schapen. 7En hij zeide: Ziet, het is nog hoog dag, het is geen tijd, dat het vee verzameld worde; drenkt de schapen, en gaat heen, weidt dezelve. 8Toen zeiden zij: Wij kunnen niet, totdat al de kudden samen zullen vergaderd zijn, en dat men den steen van den mond des puts afwentele, opdat wij de schapen drenken. 9Als hij nog met hen sprak, zo kwam Rachel met de schapen, die haar vader toebehoorden; want zij was een herderin. 10En het geschiedde, als Jakob Rachel zag, de dochter van Laban, zijner moeders broeder, en de schapen van Laban, zijner moeders broeder, dat Jakob toetrad, en wentelde den steen van den mond des puts, en drenkte de schapen van Laban, zijner moeders broeder. 11En Jakob kuste Rachel; en hij hief zijn stem op en weende. 12En Jakob gaf Rachel te kennen, dat hij een broeder van haar vader, en dat hij de zoon van Rebekka was. Toen liep zij heen, en gaf het aan haar vader te kennen. 13En het geschiedde, als Laban die tijding hoorde van Jakob, zijner zusters zoon, zo liep hij hem tegemoet, en omhelsde hem, en kuste hem, en bracht hem tot zijn huis. En hij vertelde Laban al deze dingen. 14Toen zeide Laban tot hem: Voorwaar, gij zijt mijn gebeente en mijn vlees! En hij bleef bij hem een volle maand. 15Daarna zeide Laban tot Jakob: Omdat gij mijn broeder zijt, zoudt gij mij derhalve om niet dienen? verklaar mij, wat zal uw loon zijn? 16En Laban had twee dochters: de naam der grootste was Lea; en de naam der kleinste was Rachel. 17Doch Lea had tedere ogen; maar Rachel was schoon van gedaante, en schoon van aangezicht. 18En Jakob had Rachel lief; en hij zeide: Ik zal u zeven jaren dienen, om Rachel, uw kleinste dochter. 19Toen zeide Laban: Het is beter, dat ik haar aan u geve, dan dat ik haar aan een anderen man geve; blijf bij mij. 20Alzo diende Jakob om Rachel zeven jaren; en die waren in zijn ogen als enige dagen, omdat hij haar liefhad. 21Toen zeide Jakob tot Laban: Geef mijn huisvrouw, want mijn dagen zijn vervuld, dat ik tot haar inga. 22Zo verzamelde Laban al de mannen dier plaats, en maakte een maaltijd. 23En het geschiedde des avonds, dat hij zijn dochter Lea nam, en bracht haar tot hem; en hij ging tot haar in. 24En Laban gaf haar Zilpa, zijn dienstmaagd, aan Lea, zijn dochter, tot een dienstmaagd. 25En het geschiedde des morgens, en ziet, het was Lea. Daarom zeide hij tot Laban: Wat is dit, dat gij mij gedaan hebt; heb ik niet bij u gediend om Rachel? waarom hebt gij mij dan bedrogen? 26En Laban zeide: Men doet alzo niet te dezer onzer plaatse, dat men de kleinste uitgeve voor de eerstgeborene. 27Vervul de week van deze; dan zullen wij u ook die geven, voor den dienst, dien gij nog andere zeven jaren bij mij dienen zult. 28En Jakob deed alzo; en hij vervulde de week van deze. Toen gaf hij hem Rachel, zijn dochter, hem tot een vrouw. 29En Laban gaf aan zijn dochter Rachel zijn dienstmaagd Bilha, haar tot een dienstmaagd. 30En hij ging ook in tot Rachel, en had ook Rachel liever dan Lea; en hij diende bij hem nog andere zeven jaren. 31Toen nu de HEERE zag, dat Lea gehaat was, opende Hij haar baarmoeder; maar Rachel was onvruchtbaar. 32En Lea werd bevrucht, en baarde een zoon, en zij noemde zijn naam Ruben; want zij zeide: Omdat de HEERE mijn verdrukking heeft aangezien, daarom zal mijn man mij nu liefhebben. 33En zij werd wederom bevrucht, en baarde een zoon, en zeide: Dewijl de HEERE gehoord heeft, dat ik gehaat was, zo heeft Hij mij ook dezen gegeven; en zij noemde zijn naam Simeon. 34En zij werd nog bevrucht, en baarde een zoon, en zeide: Nu zal zich ditmaal mijn man bij mij voegen, dewijl ik hem drie zonen gebaard heb; daarom noemde zij zijn naam Levi. 35En zij werd wederom bevrucht, en baarde een zoon, en zeide: Ditmaal zal ik den HEERE loven; daarom noemde zij zijn naam Juda. En zij hield op van baren.
