Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Jacob resumed his journey and came to the land of the people of the east.
1雅各 起行，到了東方人之地，
2He looked and saw a well in the field, and near it lay three flocks of sheep, because the sheep were watered from this well. And a large stone covered the mouth of the well.
2看見田間有一口井，有三群羊臥在井旁；因為人飲羊群都是用那井裏的水。井口上的石頭是大的。
3When all the flocks had been gathered there, the shepherds would roll away the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.
3常有羊群在那裏聚集，牧人把石頭轉離井口飲羊，隨後又把石頭放在井口的原處。
4“My brothers,” Jacob asked the shepherds, “where are you from?” “We are from Haran,” they answered.
4雅各 對牧人說：「弟兄們，你們是哪裏來的？」他們說：「我們是 哈蘭 來的。」
5“Do you know Laban the grandson of Nahor?” Jacob asked. “We know him,” they replied.
5他問他們說：「 拿鶴 的孫子 拉班 ，你們認識嗎？」他們說：「我們認識。」
6“Is he well?” Jacob inquired. “Yes,” they answered, “and here comes his daughter Rachel with his sheep.”
6雅各 說：「他平安嗎？」他們說：「平安。看哪，他女兒 拉結 領着羊來了。」
7“Look,” said Jacob, “it is still broad daylight; it is not yet time to gather the livestock. Water the sheep and take them back to pasture.”
7雅各 說：「日頭還高，不是羊群聚集的時候，你們不如飲羊，再去放一放。」
8But they replied, “We cannot, until all the flocks have been gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the well. Then we will water the sheep.”
8他們說：「我們不能，必等羊群聚齊，人把石頭轉離井口才可飲羊。」
9While he was still speaking with them, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
9雅各 正和他們說話的時候， 拉結 領着她父親的羊來了，因為那些羊是她牧放的。
10As soon as Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, with Laban’s sheep, he went up and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle’s sheep.
10雅各 看見母舅 拉班 的女兒 拉結 和母舅 拉班 的羊群，就上前把石頭轉離井口，飲他母舅 拉班 的羊群。
11Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept aloud.
11雅各 與 拉結 親嘴，就放聲而哭。
12He told Rachel that he was Rebekah’s son, a relative of her father, and she ran and told her father.
12雅各 告訴 拉結 ，自己是她父親的外甥，是 利百加 的兒子， 拉結 就跑去告訴她父親。
13When Laban heard the news about his sister’s son Jacob, he ran out to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, where Jacob told him all that had happened.
13拉班 聽見外甥 雅各 的信息，就跑去迎接，抱着他，與他親嘴，領他到自己的家。 雅各 將一切的情由告訴 拉班 。
14Then Laban declared, “You are indeed my own flesh and blood.” After Jacob had stayed with him a month,
14拉班 對他說：「你實在是我的骨肉。」 雅各 就和他同住了一個月。
15Laban said to him, “Just because you are my relative, should you work for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”
15拉班 對 雅各 說：「你雖是我的骨肉，豈可白白地服事我？請告訴我，你要甚麼為工價？」
16Now Laban had two daughters; the older was named Leah, and the younger was named Rachel.
16拉班 有兩個女兒，大的名叫 利亞 ，小的名叫 拉結 。
17Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was shapely and beautiful.
17利亞 的眼睛沒有神氣， 拉結 卻生得美貌俊秀。
18Since Jacob loved Rachel, he answered, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”
18雅各 愛 拉結 ，就說：「我願為你小女兒 拉結 服事你七年。」
19Laban replied, “Better that I give her to you than to another. Stay here with me.”
19拉班 說：「我把她給你，勝似給別人，你與我同住吧！」
20So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, yet it seemed but a few days because of his love for her.
20雅各 就為 拉結 服事了七年；他因為深愛 拉結 ，就看這七年如同幾天。
21Finally Jacob said to Laban, “Grant me my wife, for my time is complete, and I want to sleep with her.”
21雅各 對 拉班 說：「日期已經滿了，求你把我的妻子給我，我好與她同房。」
22So Laban invited all the men of that place and prepared a feast.
22拉班 就擺設筵席，請齊了那地方的眾人。
23But when evening came, Laban took his daughter Leah and gave her to Jacob, and he slept with her.
23到晚上， 拉班 將女兒 利亞 送來給 雅各 ， 雅各 就與她同房。
24And Laban gave his servant girl Zilpah to his daughter Leah as her maidservant.
24拉班 又將婢女 悉帕 給女兒 利亞 作使女。
25When morning came, there was Leah! “What have you done to me?” Jacob said to Laban. “Wasn’t it for Rachel that I served you? Why have you deceived me?”
25到了早晨， 雅各 一看是 利亞 ，就對 拉班 說：「你向我做的是甚麼事呢？我服事你，不是為 拉結 嗎？你為甚麼欺哄我呢？」
26Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older.
26拉班 說：「大女兒還沒有給人，先把小女兒給人，在我們這地方沒有這規矩。
27Finish this week’s celebration, and we will give you the younger one in return for another seven years of work.”
27你為這個滿了七日，我就把那個也給你，你再為她服事我七年。」
28And Jacob did just that. He finished the week’s celebration, and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.
28雅各 就如此行。滿了 利亞 的七日， 拉班 便將女兒 拉結 給 雅各 為妻。
29Laban also gave his servant girl Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her maidservant.
29拉班 又將婢女 辟拉 給女兒 拉結 作使女。
30Jacob slept with Rachel as well, and indeed, he loved Rachel more than Leah. So he worked for Laban another seven years.
30雅各 也與 拉結 同房，並且愛 拉結 勝似愛 利亞 ，於是又服事了 拉班 七年。
31When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
31耶和華見 利亞 失寵，就使她生育， 拉結 卻不生育。
32And Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Reuben, for she said, “The LORD has seen my affliction. Surely my husband will love me now.”
32利亞 懷孕生子，就給他起名叫 呂便 ，因而說：「耶和華看見我的苦情，如今我的丈夫必愛我。」
33Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has given me this son as well.” So she named him Simeon.
33她又懷孕生子，就說：「耶和華因為聽見我失寵，所以又賜給我這個兒子」，於是給他起名叫 西緬 。
34Once again Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.
34她又懷孕生子，起名叫 利未 ，說：「我給丈夫生了三個兒子，他必與我聯合。」
35And once more she conceived and gave birth to a son and said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah. Then Leah stopped having children.
35她又懷孕生子，說：「這回我要讚美耶和華」，因此給他起名叫 猶大 。這才停了生育。
