创世记 29-30
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
雅各到达巴旦．亚兰
29 雅各继续前行，到了东方人的地方。 2 他看见田间有一口井；有三群羊躺卧在井旁，因为人都是用那井里的水给羊群喝；井口上有一块大石头。 3 当所有羊群都到齐了，牧人就把井口的石头辊开，取水给羊群喝，然后把石头放回井口原处。 4 雅各问这些牧人：“弟兄们，你们是哪里来的？”他们回答：“我们是从哈兰来的。” 5 他问他们：“你们认识拿鹤的孙子拉班吗？”他们回答：“我们认识。” 6 雅各又问他们：“他平安吗？”他们回答：“平安。你看，他的女儿拉结领着羊群来了。” 7 雅各说：“现在太阳还高，不是牲畜聚集的时候；你们取水给羊群喝，再去牧放吧。” 8 他们回答：“我们不能这样作，必须等到所有的羊群都到齐了，有人把井口的石头辊开，我们才可以取水给羊群喝。” 9 雅各还跟他们说话的时候，拉结领着她父亲的羊群来了。拉结原来是个牧羊女。 10 雅各看见了舅父拉班的女儿拉结，和舅父拉班的羊群，就上前来，把井口的石头辊开，取水给舅父拉班的羊群喝。 11 雅各和拉结亲吻，就放声大哭。 12 雅各告诉拉结，自己是她父亲的外甥，是利百加的儿子。拉结就跑去告诉她的父亲。
13 拉班听见了关于外甥雅各的消息，就跑去迎接他，拥抱他，和他亲吻，带他到自己的家里。雅各就把一切经过都告诉拉班。 14 拉班对雅各说：“你实在是我的骨肉。”雅各就与拉班同住了一个月。
雅各娶拉班两个女儿为妻
15 拉班对雅各说：“你因为是我的外甥，就要白白地服事我吗？告诉我，你要甚么报酬？” 16 拉班有两个女儿；大的名叫利亚，小的名叫拉结。 17 利亚的眼睛虽然可爱，拉结却生得身材美丽，样貌娟秀。 18 雅各爱拉结，所以对拉班说：“我愿为你的小女儿拉结服事你七年。” 19 拉班说：“我把她给你，比给别人更好，你就与我同住吧。” 20 于是，雅各为拉结服事了拉班七年；他就看这七年好象几天一样，因为他爱拉结。
21 雅各对拉班说：“期限到了，请把我的妻子给我，好让我与她亲近。” 22 拉班就摆设筵席，邀请了那地方所有的人。 23 到了晚上，拉班把自己的女儿利亚带来给雅各，雅各就与她亲近。 24 拉班又把自己的婢女悉帕给了女儿利亚作婢女。 25 到了早晨，雅各才看出原来是利亚，就对拉班说：“你向我作的是甚么事呢？我服事你，不是为了拉结的缘故吗？你为甚么欺骗我呢？” 26 拉班回答：“大女儿还没有出嫁，就先把小女儿嫁出去，我们这地方是没有这规矩的。 27 你与大女儿七天的庆典过了以后，我们也把小女儿给你，只是你要再服事我七年。” 28 于是雅各这样作了。他与利亚七天的庆典过了以后，拉班就把自己的女儿拉结给雅各为妻。 29 拉班又把自己的婢女辟拉给了女儿拉结作婢女。 30 雅各也与拉结亲近，并且爱拉结胜过爱利亚；于是他再服事了拉班七年。
雅各的儿子
31 耶和华见利亚失宠，就使她生育，拉结却不生育。 32 利亚怀孕，生了一个儿子，就给他起名叫流本，因为她说：“耶和华看见了我的苦情，现在我的丈夫必爱我了。” 33 她又怀孕，生了一个儿子，就说：“耶和华因为听见我失宠，所以又赐给我这个儿子。”于是给他起名叫西缅。 34 她又怀孕，生了一个儿子，就说：“这一次，我的丈夫要依恋我了，因为我已经给他生了三个儿子。”因此给孩子起名叫利未。 35 她又怀孕，生了一个儿子，就说：“这一次，我要赞美耶和华了。”因此给孩子起名叫犹大。这样，她才停止了生育。
30 拉结见自己没有给雅各生孩子，就嫉妒她的姊姊，对雅各说：“你要给我儿子，不然，我要死了。” 2 雅各就向拉结生气，说：“使你不能生育的是 神，我能代替他吗？” 3 拉结说：“我的婢女辟拉在这里，你可以与她亲近，使她生子归我，我就可以从她得到孩子（“得到孩子”直译是“被建立”）。” 4 于是，拉结把自己的婢女辟拉给了雅各为妾，雅各就与她亲近。 5 辟拉怀孕，给雅各生了一个儿子。 6 拉结说：“ 神为我伸了冤，也垂听了我的声音，赐给我一个儿子。”所以给他起名叫但。 7 拉结的使女辟拉又怀孕，给雅各生了第二个儿子。 8 拉结说：“我与姊姊大大地相争（“大大地相争”直译是“以 神的相争来相争”），我得胜了。”于是给孩子起名叫拿弗他利（“拿弗他利”的意思是“相争”）。
9 利亚见自己停止生育，就把她的婢女悉帕给了雅各为妾。 10 利亚的婢女悉帕给雅各生了一个儿子。 11 利亚说：“我真幸运。”给他起名叫迦得。 12 利亚的婢女悉帕又给雅各生了第二个儿子。 13 利亚说：“我真有福气，众女子都要称我是有福的。”于是给孩子起名叫亚设。
14 到了收割麦子的时候，流本出去，在田间找到了一些风茄，就拿来给他母亲利亚。拉结对利亚说：“请你把你儿子的风茄分一些给我。” 15 利亚回答拉结：“你夺去了我的丈夫，还算小事吗？你还要夺去我儿子的风茄吗？”拉结说：“好吧，今夜就让他与你同睡，来交换你儿子的风茄。” 16 到了晚上，雅各从田间回来，利亚出去迎接他，说：“你要与我亲近，因为我实在用我儿子的风茄把你雇下了。”那一夜，雅各就与利亚同睡。 17 神垂听了利亚的祷告，利亚就怀孕，给雅各生了第五个儿子。 18 利亚说：“ 神给了我酬报，因为我把我的婢女给了我的丈夫。”于是给孩子起名叫以萨迦。 19 利亚又怀孕，给雅各生了第六个儿子。 20 利亚说：“ 神把美好的礼物送了给我，这一次我的丈夫要抬举我了，因为我给他生了六个儿子。”于是给孩子起名叫西布伦。 21 后来利亚又生了一个女儿，给她起名叫底拿。 22 神顾念拉结，垂听了她的祷告，使她能生育。 23 拉结就怀孕，生了一个儿子，说：“ 神把我的耻辱除去了。” 24 于是给孩子起名叫约瑟，说：“愿耶和华再给我一个儿子。”
雅各向拉班订定工价
25 拉结生了约瑟以后，雅各对拉班说：“请你让我走吧，我好回到自己的地方，自己的故乡去。 26 请你把我服事你所得的妻子和儿女都给我，让我回去；我怎样服事了你，你是知道的。” 27 拉班对他说：“我若蒙你赏脸，请你不要走，因为我得了神旨，知道耶和华赐福给我，是因你的缘故。” 28 他又说：“请你定你的工资吧，我必给你。” 29 雅各对拉班说：“我怎样服事了你，你的牲畜在我手里情形怎样，你是知道的。 30 我没来以前，你所有的很少，现在却大大地增加了；耶和华随着我的脚踪赐福给你。现在，我甚么时候才能兴家立业呢？” 31 拉班问：“我该给你甚么？”雅各回答：“你甚么也不必给我；只要你答应我这一件事，我就继续牧放看守你的羊群。 32 今天我要走遍你的羊群，凡有斑点的羊、黑色的绵羊和有斑点的山羊，都挑出来，作为我的工资。 33 日后你来查看我的工资的时候，我好对你证明我的公道。凡在我手里没有斑点的山羊，或不是黑色的绵羊，都算是我偷来的。” 34 拉班回答：“好吧，就照你的话去作。” 35 当日，拉班把有条纹和有斑点的公山羊、有斑点和有白纹的母山羊，以及所有黑色的绵羊，都挑出来交在自己的众子手里。 36 又使自己和雅各之间相距有三天的路程。雅各就牧放拉班其余的羊群。
雅各使用诡计致富
37 雅各拿杨树、杏树和枫树的嫩枝子，把树皮剥成白色的条纹，使枝子露出白的部分来。 38 然后把剥了皮的枝子插在水沟和水槽里，枝子正对着来喝水的羊群。羊群来喝水的时候，就彼此交配。 39 羊群对着枝子交配，就生下有条纹和有斑点的小羊来。 40 雅各把羊羔分别出来，使拉班的羊，对着这些有条纹的和所有黑色的羊。他为自己另组羊群，不把牠们放在拉班的羊群中。 41 到了肥壮的羊群要交配的时候，雅各就在羊群的面前把枝子插在水沟里，使牠们在枝子中间彼此交配。 42 但当瘦弱的羊群交配的时候，雅各就不插枝子。这样，瘦弱的就归拉班，肥壮的就归雅各。 43 于是，雅各变得非常富有，拥有很多羊群、仆婢、骆驼和驴。
Genesis 29-30
King James Version
29 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
2 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 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 his place.
4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
5 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6 And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
7 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 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
9 And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them.
10 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 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 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 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 And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
15 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 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 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 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 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 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, 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 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31 And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
32 And Leah conceived, and bare 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 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the Lord hath heard I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
34 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the Lord: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
30 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
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?
3 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
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.
7 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
15 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.
16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The Lord shall add to me another son.
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake.
28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.
30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock.
32 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire 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.
34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
35 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
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.
42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
