Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Then Jacob went on in his journey, and came into the east country.
1雅各 起行，到了东方人之地，
2And he saw a well in the field, and three flocks of sheep lying by it: for the beasts were watered out of it, and the mouth thereof was closed with a great stone.
2看见田间有一口井，有三群羊卧在井旁；因为人饮羊群都是用那井里的水。井口上的石头是大的。
3And the custom was, when all the sheep were gathered together to roll away the stone, and after the sheep were watered, to put it on the mouth of the well again.
3常有羊群在那里聚集，牧人把石头转离井口饮羊，随后又把石头放在井口的原处。
4And he said to the shepherds: Brethren, whence are you? They answered: Of Haran.
4雅各 对牧人说：「弟兄们，你们是哪里来的？」他们说：「我们是 哈兰 来的。」
5And he asked them, saying: Know you Laban the son of Nachor? They said: We know him.
5他问他们说：「 拿鹤 的孙子 拉班 ，你们认识吗？」他们说：「我们认识。」
6He said: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold Rachel his daughter cometh with his flock.
6雅各 说：「他平安吗？」他们说：「平安。看哪，他女儿 拉结 领着羊来了。」
7And Jacob said: There is yet much day remaining, neither is it time to bring the flocks into the folds again: first give the sheep drink, and so lead them back to feed.
7雅各 说：「日头还高，不是羊群聚集的时候，你们不如饮羊，再去放一放。」
8They answered: We cannot, till all the cattle be gathered together, and we remove the stone from the well’s mouth, that we may water the flocks.
8他们说：「我们不能，必等羊群聚齐，人把石头转离井口才可饮羊。」
9They were yet speaking, and behold Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she fed the flock.
9雅各 正和他们说话的时候， 拉结 领着她父亲的羊来了，因为那些羊是她牧放的。
10And when Jacob saw her, and knew her to be his cousin-german, and that they were the sheep of Laban, his uncle: he removed the stone wherewith the well was closed.
10雅各 看见母舅 拉班 的女儿 拉结 和母舅 拉班 的羊群，就上前把石头转离井口，饮他母舅 拉班 的羊群。
11And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice, wept.
11雅各 与 拉结 亲嘴，就放声而哭。
12And he told her that he was her father’s brother, and the son of Rebecca: but she went in haste and told her father.
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 就跑去告诉她父亲。
13Who, when he heard that Jacob his sister’s son was come, ran forth to meet him; and embracing him, and heartily kissing him, brought him into his house. And when he had heard the causes of his journey,
13拉班 听见外甥 雅各 的信息，就跑去迎接，抱着他，与他亲嘴，领他到自己的家。 雅各 将一切的情由告诉 拉班 。
14He answered: Thou art my bone and my flesh. And after the days of one month were expired,
14拉班 对他说：「你实在是我的骨肉。」 雅各 就和他同住了一个月。
15He said to him: Because thou art my brother, shalt thou serve me without wages? Tell me what wages thou wilt have.
15拉班 对 雅各 说：「你虽是我的骨肉，岂可白白地服事我？请告诉我，你要什么为工价？」
16Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia: and the younger was called Rachel.
16拉班 有两个女儿，大的名叫 利亚 ，小的名叫 拉结 。
17But Lia was blear eyed: Rachel was well favoured, and of a beautiful countenance.
17利亚 的眼睛没有神气， 拉结 却生得美貌俊秀。
18And Jacob being in love with her, said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
18雅各 爱 拉结 ，就说：「我愿为你小女儿 拉结 服事你七年。」
19Laban answered: It is better that I give her to thee than to another man; stay with me.
19拉班 说：「我把她给你，胜似给别人，你与我同住吧！」
20So Jacob served seven years for Rachel: and they seemed but a few days, because of the greatness of his love.
20雅各 就为 拉结 服事了七年；他因为深爱 拉结 ，就看这七年如同几天。
21And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
21雅各 对 拉班 说：「日期已经满了，求你把我的妻子给我，我好与她同房。」
22And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage.
22拉班 就摆设筵席，请齐了那地方的众人。
23And at night he brought in Lia his daughter to him,
23到晚上， 拉班 将女儿 利亚 送来给 雅各 ， 雅各 就与她同房。
24Giving his daughter a handmaid, named Zelpha. Now when Jacob had gone in to her according to custom when morning was come he saw it was Lia:
24拉班 又将婢女 悉帕 给女儿 利亚 作使女。
25And he said to his father in law: What is it that thou didst mean to do? did not I serve thee for Rachel? why hast thou deceived me?
25到了早晨， 雅各 一看是 利亚 ，就对 拉班 说：「你向我做的是什么事呢？我服事你，不是为 拉结 吗？你为什么欺哄我呢？」
26Laban answered: It is not the custom in this place, to give the younger in marriage first.
26拉班 说：「大女儿还没有给人，先把小女儿给人，在我们这地方没有这规矩。
27Make up the week of days of this match: and I will give thee her also, for the service that thou shalt render me other seven years.
27你为这个满了七日，我就把那个也给你，你再为她服事我七年。」
28He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel:
28雅各 就如此行。满了 利亚 的七日， 拉班 便将女儿 拉结 给 雅各 为妻。
29To whom her father gave Bala for her servant.
29拉班 又将婢女 辟拉 给女儿 拉结 作使女。
30And having at length obtained the marriage he wished for, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and served with him other seven years.
30雅各 也与 拉结 同房，并且爱 拉结 胜似爱 利亚 ，于是又服事了 拉班 七年。
31And the Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.
31耶和华见 利亚 失宠，就使她生育， 拉结 却不生育。
32And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Ruben, saying: The Lord saw my affliction: now my husband will love me.
32利亚 怀孕生子，就给他起名叫 吕便 ，因而说：「耶和华看见我的苦情，如今我的丈夫必爱我。」
33And again she conceived and bore a son, and said: Because the Lord heard that I was despised, he hath given this also to me: and she called his name Simeon.
33她又怀孕生子，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 。
34And she conceived the third time, and bore another son: and said: Now also my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons: and therefore she called his name Levi.
34她又怀孕生子，起名叫 利未 ，说：「我给丈夫生了三个儿子，他必与我联合。」
35The fourth time she conceived and bore a son, and said: now will I praise the Lord: and for this she called him Juda. And she left bearing.
35她又怀孕生子，说：「这回我要赞美耶和华」，因此给他起名叫 犹大 。这才停了生育。
