Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And Rachel, seeing herself without children, envied her sister, and said to her husband: Give me children, otherwise I shall die.
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。」
2And Jacob being angry with her, answered: Am I as God, who hath deprived thee of the fruit of thy womb?
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？」
3But she said: I have here my servant Bala: go in unto her, that she may bear upon my knees, and I may have children by her.
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。」
4And she gave him Bala in marriage: who,
4拉結 就把她的使女 辟拉 給丈夫為妾； 雅各 便與她同房，
5When her husband had gone in unto her, conceived and bore a son.
5辟拉 就懷孕，給 雅各 生了一個兒子。
6And Rachel said: The Lord hath judged for me, and hath heard my voice, giving me a son, and therefore she called his name Dan.
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 。
7And again Bala conceived and bore another,
7拉結 的使女 辟拉 又懷孕，給 雅各 生了第二個兒子。
8For whom Rachel said: God hath compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called him Nephtali.
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 。
9Lia, perceiving that she had left off bearing, gave Zelpha her handmaid to her husband.
9利亞 見自己停了生育，就把使女 悉帕 給 雅各 為妾。
10And when she had conceived and brought forth a son,
10利亞 的使女 悉帕 給 雅各 生了一個兒子。
11She said: Happily. And therefore called his name Gad.
11利亞 說：「萬幸！」於是給他起名叫 迦得 。
12Zelpha also bore another.
12利亞 的使女 悉帕 又給 雅各 生了第二個兒子。
13And Lia said: This is for my happiness: for women will call me blessed. Therefore she called him Aser.
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 。
14And Ruben, going out in the time of the wheat harvest into the field, found mandrakes: which he brought to his mother Lia. And Rachel said: Give me part of thy son’s mandrakes.
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。」
15She answered: Dost thou think it a small matter, that thou hast taken my husband from me, unless thou take also my son’s mandrakes? Rachel said: He shall sleep with thee this night, for thy 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。」
16And when Jacob returned at even from the field, Lia went out to meet him, and said: Thou shalt come in unto me, because I have hired thee for my son’s mandrakes. And he slept with her that night.
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。
17And God heard her prayers: and she conceived and bore the fifth son,
17上帝應允了 利亞 ，她就懷孕，給 雅各 生了第五個兒子。
18And said: God hath given me a reward, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
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 。
19And Lia conceived again, and bore the sixth son,
19利亞 又懷孕，給 雅各 生了第六個兒子。
20And said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry: this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon.
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 。
21After whom she bore a daughter, named Dina.
21後來又生了一個女兒，給她起名叫 底拿 。
22The Lord also remembering Rachel, heard her, and opened her womb.
22上帝顧念 拉結 ，應允了她，使她能生育。
23And she conceived, and bore a son, saying: God hath taken away my reproach.
23拉結 懷孕生子，說：「上帝除去了我的羞恥」，
24And she called his name Joseph, saying: The Lord give me also another son.
24就給他起名叫 約瑟 ，意思說：「願耶和華再增添我一個兒子。」
25And when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father in law: Send me away that I may return into my country, and to my land.
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。
26Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart: thou knowest the service that I have rendered thee.
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。」
27Laban said to him: Let me find favour in thy sight: I have learned by experience, that God hath blessed me for thy sake.
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」；
28Appoint thy wages which I shall give thee.
28又說：「請你定你的工價，我就給你。」
29But he answered: Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how great thy possession hath been in my hands.
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。
30Thou hadst but little before I came to thee, and now thou art become rich: and the Lord hath blessed thee at my coming. It is reasonable therefore that I should now provide also for my own house.
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？」
31And Laban said: What shall I give thee? But he said: I require nothing: but if thou wilt do what I demand, I will feed, and keep thy sheep again.
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。
32Go round through all thy flocks, and separate all the sheep of divers colours, and speckled: and all that is brown and spotted, and of divers colours, as well among the sheep, as among the goats, shall be my wages.
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。
33And my justice shall answer for me tomorrow before thee when the time of the bargain shall come: and all that is not of divers colours, and spotted, and brown, as well among the sheep as among the goats, shall accuse me of theft.
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。」
34And Laban said: I like well what thou demandest.
34拉班 說：「好啊！我情願照着你的話行。」
35And he separated the same day the she goats, and the sheep, and the he goats, and the rams of divers colours, and spotted: and all the flock of one colour, that is, of white and black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons.
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，
36And he set the space of three days’ journey betwixt himself and his son in law, who fed the rest of his flock.
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。
37And Jacob took green rods of poplar, and of almond, and of plane trees, and pilled them in part: so when the bark was taken off, in the parts that were pilled, there appeared whiteness: but the parts that were whole remained green: and by this means the colour was divers.
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，
38And he put them in the troughs, where the water was poured out: that when the flocks should come to drink, they might have the rods before their eyes, and in the sight of them might conceive.
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。
39And it came to pass that in the very heat of coition, the sheep beheld the rods, and brought forth spotted, and of divers colours, and speckled.
39羊對着枝子配合，就生下有紋的、有點的、有斑的來。
40And Jacob separated the flock, and put the rods in the troughs before the eyes of the rams: and all the white and the black were Laban’s: and the rest were Jacob’s, when the flocks were separated one from the other.
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。
41So when the ewes went first to ram, Jacob put the rods in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams, and of the ewes, that they might conceive while they were looking upon them:
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。
42But when the latter coming was, and the last conceiving, he did not put them. And those that were lateward, became Laban’s: and they of the first time, Jacob’s.
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 。
43And the man was enriched exceedingly, and he had many flocks, maid servants and men servants, camels and asses.
43於是 雅各 極其發大，得了許多的羊群、僕婢、駱駝，和驢。
