創世記 30
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1拉結 見自己不給 雅各 生子，就嫉妒她姊姊，對 雅各 說：「你給我孩子，不然我就死了。」
1When Rachel saw that she was not bearing any children for Jacob, she envied her sister. “Give me children, or I will die!” she said to Jacob.
2雅各 向 拉結 生氣，說：「叫你不生育的是上帝，我豈能代替他 作主 呢？」
2Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”
3拉結 說：「有我的使女 辟拉 在這裏，你可以與她同房，使她生子在我膝下，我便因她也得孩子。」
3Then she said, “Here is my maidservant Bilhah. Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me, so that through her I too can build a family.”
4拉結 就把她的使女 辟拉 給丈夫為妾； 雅各 便與她同房，
4So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,
5辟拉 就懷孕，給 雅各 生了一個兒子。
5and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.
6拉結 說：「上帝伸了我的冤，也聽了我的聲音，賜我一個兒子」，因此給他起名叫 但 。
6Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.
7拉結 的使女 辟拉 又懷孕，給 雅各 生了第二個兒子。
7And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
8拉結 說：「我與我姊姊大大相爭，並且得勝」，於是給他起名叫 拿弗他利 。
8Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.
9利亞 見自己停了生育，就把使女 悉帕 給 雅各 為妾。
9When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.
10利亞 的使女 悉帕 給 雅各 生了一個兒子。
10And Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
11利亞 說：「萬幸！」於是給他起名叫 迦得 。
11Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
12利亞 的使女 悉帕 又給 雅各 生了第二個兒子。
12When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,
13利亞 說：「我有福啊，眾女子都要稱我是有福的」，於是給他起名叫 亞設 。
13Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.
14割麥子的時候， 呂便 往田裏去，尋見風茄，拿來給他母親 利亞 。 拉結 對 利亞 說：「請你把你兒子的風茄給我些。」
14Now during the wheat harvest, Reuben went out and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother, Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
15利亞 說：「你奪了我的丈夫還算小事嗎？你又要奪我兒子的風茄嗎？」 拉結 說：「為你兒子的風茄，今夜他可以與你同寢。」
15But Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said Rachel, “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
16到了晚上， 雅各 從田裏回來， 利亞 出來迎接他，說：「你要與我同寢，因為我實在用我兒子的風茄把你雇下了。」那一夜， 雅各 就與她同寢。
16When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.
17上帝應允了 利亞 ，她就懷孕，給 雅各 生了第五個兒子。
17And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
18利亞 說：「上帝給了我價值，因為我把使女給了我丈夫」，於是給他起名叫 以薩迦 。
18Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
19利亞 又懷孕，給 雅各 生了第六個兒子。
19Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
20利亞 說：「上帝賜我厚賞；我丈夫必與我同住，因我給他生了六個兒子」，於是給他起名 西布倫 。
20“God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.
21後來又生了一個女兒，給她起名叫 底拿 。
21After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
22上帝顧念 拉結 ，應允了她，使她能生育。
22Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,
23拉結 懷孕生子，說：「上帝除去了我的羞恥」，
23and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.
24就給他起名叫 約瑟 ，意思說：「願耶和華再增添我一個兒子。」
24She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”
25拉結 生 約瑟 之後， 雅各 對 拉班 說：「請打發我走，叫我回到我本鄉本土去。
25Now after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.
26請你把我服事你所得的妻子和兒女給我，讓我走；我怎樣服事你，你都知道。」
26Give me my wives and children for whom I have served you, that I may go on my way. You know how hard I have worked for you.”
27拉班 對他說：「我若在你眼前蒙恩，請你 仍與我同住 ， 因為 我已算定，耶和華賜福與我是為你的緣故」；
27But Laban replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.”
28又說：「請你定你的工價，我就給你。」
28And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
29雅各 對他說：「我怎樣服事你，你的牲畜在我手裏怎樣，是你知道的。
29Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.
30我未來之先，你所有的很少，現今卻發大眾多，耶和華隨我的腳步賜福與你。如今，我甚麼時候才為自己興家立業呢？」
30Indeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”
31拉班 說：「我當給你甚麼呢？」 雅各 說：「甚麼你也不必給我，只有一件事，你若應承，我便仍舊牧放你的羊群。
31“What can I give you?” Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do this one thing for me, I will keep on shepherding and keeping your flocks.
32今天我要走遍你的羊群，把綿羊中凡有點的、有斑的，和黑色的，並山羊中凡有斑的、有點的，都挑出來；將來 這一等的 就算我的工價。
32Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages.
33以後你來查看我的工價，凡在我手裏的山羊不是有點有斑的，綿羊不是黑色的，那就算是我偷的；這樣便可證出我的公義來。」
33So my honesty will testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered stolen.”
34拉班 說：「好啊！我情願照着你的話行。」
34“Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”
35當日， 拉班 把有紋的、有斑的公山羊，有點的、有斑的、有雜白紋的母山羊，並黑色的綿羊，都挑出來，交在他兒子們的手下，
35That very day Laban removed all the streaked or spotted male goats and every speckled or spotted female goat—every one that had any white on it—and every dark-colored lamb, and he placed them under the care of his sons.
36又使自己和 雅各 相離三天的路程。 雅各 就牧養 拉班 其餘的羊。
36Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.
37雅各 拿楊樹、杏樹、楓樹的嫩枝，將皮剝成白紋，使枝子露出白的來，
37Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.
38將剝了皮的枝子，對着羊群，插在飲羊的水溝裏和水槽裏，羊來喝的時候，牝牡配合。
38Then he set the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
39羊對着枝子配合，就生下有紋的、有點的、有斑的來。
39they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.
40雅各 把羊羔分出來，使 拉班 的羊與這有紋和黑色的羊相對，把自己的羊另放一處，不叫他和 拉班 的羊混雜。
40Jacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the streaked dark-colored sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with Laban’s animals.
41到羊群肥壯配合的時候， 雅各 就把枝子插在水溝裏，使羊對着枝子配合。
41Whenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.
42只是到羊瘦弱配合的時候就不插枝子。這樣，瘦弱的就歸 拉班 ，肥壯的就歸 雅各 。
42But if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.
43於是 雅各 極其發大，得了許多的羊群、僕婢、駱駝，和驢。
43Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
