Kejadian 29

¹Kemudian berangkatlah Yakub dari situ dan pergi ke negeri Bani Timur.

¹Then Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the east.

²Ketika ia memandang sekelilingnya, dilihatnya ada sebuah sumur di padang, dan ada tiga kumpulan kambing domba berbaring di dekatnya, sebab dari sumur itulah orang memberi minum kumpulan-kumpulan kambing domba itu. Adapun batu penutup sumur itu besar;

²As he looked, he saw a well in the field, and behold, three flocks of sheep lying beside it, for out of that well the flocks were watered. The stone on the well's mouth was large,

³dan apabila segala kumpulan kambing domba itu digiring berkumpul ke sana, maka gembala-gembala menggulingkan batu itu dari mulut sumur, lalu kambing domba itu diberi minum; kemudian dikembalikanlah batu itu lagi ke mulut sumur itu.

³and when all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place over the mouth of the well.

⁴Bertanyalah Yakub kepada mereka: "Saudara-saudara, dari manakah kamu ini?" Jawab mereka: "Kami ini dari Haran."

⁴Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where do you come from?" They said, "We are from Haran."

⁵Lagi katanya kepada mereka: "Kenalkah kamu Laban, cucu Nahor?" Jawab mereka: "Kami kenal."

⁵He said to them, "Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."

⁶Selanjutnya katanya kepada mereka: "Selamatkah ia?" Jawab mereka: "Selamat! Tetapi lihat, itu datang anaknya perempuan, Rahel, dengan kambing dombanya."

⁶He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well; and see, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep!"

⁷Lalu kata Yakub: "Hari masih siang, belum waktunya untuk mengumpulkan ternak; berilah minum kambing dombamu itu, kemudian pergilah menggembalakannya lagi."

⁷He said, "Behold, it is still high day; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered together. Water the sheep and go, pasture them."

⁸Tetapi jawab mereka: "Kami tidak dapat melakukan itu selama segala kumpulan binatang itu belum berkumpul; barulah batu itu digulingkan dari mulut sumur dan kami memberi minum kambing domba kami."

⁸But they said, "We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep."

⁹Selagi ia berkata-kata dengan mereka, datanglah Rahel dengan kambing domba ayahnya, sebab dialah yang menggembalakannya.

⁹While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess.

¹⁰Ketika Yakub melihat Rahel, anak Laban saudara ibunya, serta kambing domba Laban, ia datang mendekat, lalu menggulingkan batu itu dari mulut sumur, dan memberi minum kambing domba itu.

¹⁰Now as soon as Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob came near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

¹¹Kemudian Yakub mencium Rahel serta menangis dengan suara keras.

¹¹Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept aloud.

¹²Lalu Yakub menceritakan kepada Rahel, bahwa ia sanak saudara ayah Rahel, dan anak Ribka. Maka berlarilah Rahel menceritakannya kepada ayahnya.

¹²And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's kinsman, and that he was Rebekah's son, and she ran and told her father.

¹³Segera sesudah Laban mendengar kabar tentang Yakub, anak saudaranya itu, berlarilah ia menyongsong dia, lalu mendekap dan mencium dia, kemudian membawanya ke rumahnya. Maka Yakub menceritakan segala hal ihwalnya kepada Laban.

¹³As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister's son, he ran to meet him and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things,

¹⁴Kata Laban kepadanya: "Sesungguhnya engkau sedarah sedaging dengan aku." Maka tinggallah Yakub padanya genap sebulan lamanya.

¹⁴and Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh!" And he stayed with him a month.

¹⁵Kemudian berkatalah Laban kepada Yakub: "Masakan karena engkau adalah sanak saudaraku, engkau bekerja padaku dengan cuma-cuma? Katakanlah kepadaku apa yang patut menjadi upahmu."

¹⁵Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?"

¹⁶Laban mempunyai dua anak perempuan; yang lebih tua namanya Lea dan yang lebih muda namanya Rahel.

¹⁶Now Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

¹⁷Lea tidak berseri matanya, tetapi Rahel itu elok sikapnya dan cantik parasnya.

¹⁷Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.

¹⁸Yakub cinta kepada Rahel, sebab itu ia berkata: "Aku mau bekerja padamu tujuh tahun lamanya untuk mendapat Rahel, anakmu yang lebih muda itu."

¹⁸Jacob loved Rachel. And he said, "I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel."

¹⁹Sahut Laban: "Lebih baiklah ia kuberikan kepadamu dari pada kepada orang lain; maka tinggallah padaku."

¹⁹Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me."

²⁰Jadi bekerjalah Yakub tujuh tahun lamanya untuk mendapat Rahel itu, tetapi yang tujuh tahun itu dianggapnya seperti beberapa hari saja, karena cintanya kepada Rahel.

²⁰So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.

²¹Sesudah itu berkatalah Yakub kepada Laban: "Berikanlah kepadaku bakal isteriku itu, sebab jangka waktuku telah genap, supaya aku akan kawin dengan dia."

²¹Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed."

²²Lalu Laban mengundang semua orang di tempat itu, dan mengadakan perjamuan.

²²So Laban gathered together all the people of the place and made a feast.

²³Tetapi pada waktu malam diambilnyalah Lea, anaknya, lalu dibawanya kepada Yakub. Maka Yakubpun menghampiri dia.

²³But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and he went in to her.

²⁴Lagipula Laban memberikan Zilpa, budaknya perempuan, kepada Lea, anaknya itu, menjadi budaknya.

²⁴(Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her servant.)

²⁵Tetapi pada waktu pagi tampaklah bahwa itu Lea! Lalu berkatalah Yakub kepada Laban: "Apakah yang kauperbuat terhadap aku ini? Bukankah untuk mendapat Rahel aku bekerja padamu? Mengapa engkau menipu aku?"

²⁵And in the morning, behold, it was Leah! And Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"

²⁶Jawab Laban: "Tidak biasa orang berbuat demikian di tempat kami ini, mengawinkan adiknya lebih dahulu dari pada kakaknya.

²⁶Laban said, "It is not so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.

²⁷Genapilah dahulu tujuh hari perkawinanmu dengan anakku ini; kemudian anakku yang lainpun akan diberikan kepadamu sebagai upah, asal engkau bekerja pula padaku tujuh tahun lagi."

²⁷Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years."

²⁸Maka Yakub berbuat demikian; ia menggenapi ketujuh hari perkawinannya dengan Lea, kemudian Laban memberikan kepadanya Rahel, anaknya itu, menjadi isterinya.

²⁸Jacob did so, and completed her week. Then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.

²⁹Lagipula Laban memberikan Bilha, budaknya perempuan, kepada Rahel, anaknya itu, menjadi budaknya.

²⁹(Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.)

³⁰Yakub menghampiri Rahel juga, malah ia lebih cinta kepada Rahel dari pada kepada Lea. Demikianlah ia bekerja pula pada Laban tujuh tahun lagi.

³⁰So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years.

³¹Ketika TUHAN melihat, bahwa Lea tidak dicintai, dibuka-Nyalah kandungannya, tetapi Rahel mandul.

³¹When the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.

³²Lea mengandung, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, dan menamainya Ruben, sebab katanya: "Sesungguhnya TUHAN telah memperhatikan kesengsaraanku; sekarang tentulah aku akan dicintai oleh suamiku."

³²And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben, for she said, "Because the LORD has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me."

³³Mengandung pulalah ia, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, maka ia berkata: "Sesungguhnya, TUHAN telah mendengar, bahwa aku tidak dicintai, lalu diberikan-Nya pula anak ini kepadaku." Maka ia menamai anak itu Simeon.

³³She conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also." And she called his name Simeon.

³⁴Mengandung pulalah ia, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, maka ia berkata: "Sekali ini suamiku akan lebih erat kepadaku, karena aku telah melahirkan tiga anak laki-laki baginya." Itulah sebabnya ia menamai anak itu Lewi.

³⁴Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, "Now this time my husband will be attached to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore his name was called Levi.

³⁵Mengandung pulalah ia, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, maka ia berkata: "Sekali ini aku akan bersyukur kepada TUHAN." Itulah sebabnya ia menamai anak itu Yehuda. Sesudah itu ia tidak melahirkan lagi.

³⁵And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "This time I will praise the LORD." Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she ceased bearing.
