Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Then Jacob went on in his journey, and came into the east country.
1雅各 起行，到了東方人之地，
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。
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。
4And he said to the shepherds: Brethren, whence are you? They answered: Of Haran.
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。」
5And he asked them, saying: Know you Laban the son of Nachor? They said: We know him.
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。」
6He said: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold Rachel his daughter cometh with his flock.
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。」
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 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。」
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他們說：「我們不能，必等羊群聚齊，人把石頭轉離井口才可飲羊。」
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。
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。
11And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice, wept.
11雅各 與 拉結 親嘴，就放聲而哭。
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。
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 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 。
14He answered: Thou art my bone and my flesh. And after the days of one month were expired,
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。
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 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 he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia: and the younger was called Rachel.
16拉班 有兩個女兒，大的名叫 利亞 ，小的名叫 拉結 。
17But Lia was blear eyed: Rachel was well favoured, and of a beautiful countenance.
17利亞 的眼睛沒有神氣， 拉結 卻生得美貌俊秀。
18And Jacob being in love with her, said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
18雅各 愛 拉結 ，就說：「我願為你小女兒 拉結 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 說：「我把她給你，勝似給別人，你與我同住吧！」
20So Jacob served seven years for Rachel: and they seemed but a few days, because of the greatness of his love.
20雅各 就為 拉結 服事了七年；他因為深愛 拉結 ，就看這七年如同幾天。
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 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。」
22And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage.
22拉班 就擺設筵席，請齊了那地方的眾人。
23And at night he brought in Lia his daughter to him,
23到晚上， 拉班 將女兒 利亞 送來給 雅各 ， 雅各 就與她同房。
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 又將婢女 悉帕 給女兒 利亞 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 answered: It is not the custom in this place, to give the younger in marriage first.
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。
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你為這個滿了七日，我就把那個也給你，你再為她服事我七年。」
28He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel:
28雅各 就如此行。滿了 利亞 的七日， 拉班 便將女兒 拉結 給 雅各 為妻。
29To whom her father gave Bala for her servant.
29拉班 又將婢女 辟拉 給女兒 拉結 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。
31And the Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.
31耶和華見 利亞 失寵，就使她生育， 拉結 卻不生育。
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。」
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 。
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。」
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。
