1ΚΑΙ ἐξάρας Ἰακὼβ τοὺς πόδας ἐπορεύθη εἰς γῆν ἀνατολῶν πρὸς Λάβαν τὸν υἱὸν Βαθουὴλ τοῦ Σύρου, ἀδελφὸν δὲ Ρεβέκκας μητρὸς Ἰακὼβ καὶ Ἡσαῦ.
1Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
2καὶ ὁρᾷ καὶ ἰδοὺ φρέαρ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ, ἦσαν δὲ ἐκεῖ τρία ποίμνια προβάτων ἀναπαυόμενα ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ· ἐκ γὰρ τοῦ φρέατος ἐκείνου ἐπότιζον τὰ ποίμνια, λίθος δὲ ἦν μέγας ἐπὶ τῷ στόματι τοῦ φρέατος,
2He looked, and saw a well in the field, and saw three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well’s mouth was large.
3καὶ συνήγοντο ἐκεῖ πάντα τὰ ποίμνια καὶ ἀπεκύλιον τὸν λίθον ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ φρέατος καὶ ἐπότιζον τὰ πρόβατα καὶ ἀποκαθίστων τὸν λίθον ἐπὶ τὸ στόμα τοῦ φρέατος εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ.
3There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone back on the well’s mouth in its place.
4εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἰακώβ· ἀδελφοί, πόθεν ἐστὲ ὑμεῖς; οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· ἐκ Χαρρὰν ἐσμέν.
4Jacob said to them, “My relatives, where are you from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
5εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς· γινώσκετε Λάβαν τὸν υἱὸν Ναχώρ; οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· γινώσκομεν.
5He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
6εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς· ὑγιαίνει; οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· ὑγιαίνει. καὶ ἰδοὺ Ραχὴλ ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτοῦ ἤρχετο μετὰ τῶν προβάτων.
6He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.”
7καὶ εἶπεν Ἰακώβ· ἔτι ἐστὶν ἡμέρα πολλή, οὔπω ὥρα συναχθῆναι τὰ κτήνη· ποτίσαντες τὰ πρόβατα ἀπελθόντες βόσκετε.
7He said, “Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.”
8οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· οὐ δυνησόμεθα ἕως τοῦ συναχθῆναι πάντας τοὺς ποιμένας, καὶ ἀποκυλίσουσι τὸν λίθον ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ φρέατος, καὶ ποτιοῦμεν τὰ πρόβατα.
8They said, “We can’t, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth. Then we will water the sheep.”
9ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος αὐτοῖς καὶ ἰδοὺ Ραχὴλ ἡ θυγάτηρ Λάβαν ἤρχετο μετὰ τῶν προβάτων τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς· αὐτὴ γὰρ ἔβοσκε τὰ πρόβατα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς.
9While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them.
10ἐγένετο δέ, ὡς εἶδεν Ἰακὼβ τὴν Ραχὴλ τὴν θυγατέρα Λάβαν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα Λάβαν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσελθὼν Ἰακὼβ ἀπεκύλισε τὸν λίθον ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ φρέατος καὶ ἐπότιζε τὰ πρόβατα Λάβαν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ.
10When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
11καὶ ἐφίλησεν Ἰακὼβ τὴν Ραχήλ· καὶ βοήσας τῇ φωνῇ αὐτοῦ ἔκλαυσε.
11Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῇ Ραχήλ, ὅτι ἀδελφὸς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς ἐστι καὶ ὅτι υἱὸς Ρεβέκκας ἐστί, καὶ δραμοῦσα ἀπήγγειλε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτῆς κατὰ τά ρήματα ταῦτα.
12Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.
13ἐγένετο δέ, ὡς ἤκουσε Λάβαν τὸ ὄνομα Ἰακὼβ τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτοῦ, ἔδραμεν εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ καὶ περιλαβὼν αὐτὸν ἐφίλησε καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ. καὶ διηγήσατο τῷ Λάβαν πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους.
13When Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.
14καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Λάβαν· ἐκ τῶν ὀστῶν μου καὶ ἐκ τῆς σαρκός μου εἶ σύ. καὶ ἦν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ μῆνα ἡμερῶν.
14Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month.
15Εἶπε δὲ Λάβαν τῷ Ἰακώβ· ὅτι γὰρ ἀδελφός μου εἶ, οὐ δουλεύσεις μοι δωρεάν· ἀπάγγειλόν μοι, τίς ὁ μισθός σου ἐστί;
15Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
16τῷ δὲ Λάβαν ἦσαν δύο θυγατέρες, ὄνομα τῇ μείζονι Λεία, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ νεωτέρᾳ Ραχήλ.
16Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ Λείας ἀσθενεῖς, Ραχὴλ δὲ ἦν καλὴ τῷ εἴδει καὶ ὡραία τῇ ὄψει σφόδρα.
17Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.
18ἠγάπησε δὲ Ἰακὼβ τὴν Ραχὴλ καὶ εἶπε· δουλεύσω σοι ἑπτὰ ἔτη περὶ Ραχὴλ τῆς θυγατρός σου τῆς νεωτέρας.
18Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
19εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ Λάβαν· βέλτιον δοῦναί με αὐτήν σοι, ἢ δοῦναί με αὐτὴν ἀνδρὶ ἑτέρῳ· οἴκησον μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ.
19Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
20καὶ ἐδούλευσεν Ἰακὼβ περὶ Ραχὴλ ἑπτὰ ἔτη, καὶ ἦσαν ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὡς ἡμέραι ὀλίγαι, παρὰ τὸ ἀγαπᾷν αὐτὸν αὐτήν.
20Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
21εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ τῷ Λάβαν· δός μοι τὴν γυναῖκά μου, πεπλήρωνται γὰρ αἱ ἡμέραι, ὅπως εἰσέλθω πρὸς αὐτήν.
21Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”
22συνήγαγε δὲ Λάβαν πάντας τοὺς ἄνδρας τοῦ τόπου καὶ ἐποίησε γάμον.
22Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23καὶ ἐγένετο ἑσπέρα, καὶ λαβὼν Λείαν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ εἰσήγαγε πρὸς Ἰακὼβ καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὴν Ἰακώβ.
23In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.
24ἔδωκε δὲ Λάβαν Λείᾳ τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ Ζελφὰν τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτοῦ αὐτῇ παιδίσκην.
24Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.
25ἐγένετο δὲ πρωΐ, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἦν Λεία. εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ τῷ Λάβαν· τί τοῦτο ἐποίησάς μοι; οὐ περὶ Ραχὴλ ἐδούλευσα παρὰ σοί; καὶ ἱνατί παρελογίσω με;
25In the morning, behold, it was Leah! He said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Didn’t I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?”
26ἀπεκρίθη δὲ Λάβαν· οὐκ ἔστιν οὕτως ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ἡμῶν, δοῦναι τὴν νεωτέραν πρὶν ἢ τὴν πρεσβυτέραν·
26Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27συντέλεσον οὖν τὰ ἕβδομα ταύτης, καὶ δώσω σοι καὶ ταύτην ἀντὶ τῆς ἐργασίας, ἧς ἐργᾷ παρ᾿ ἐμοί, ἔτι ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἕτερα.
27Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me for seven more years.”
28ἐποίησε δὲ Ἰακὼβ οὕτως καὶ ἀνεπλήρωσε τὰ ἕβδομα ταύτης, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Λάβαν Ραχὴλ τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ γυναῖκα.
28Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
29ἔδωκε δὲ Λάβαν τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ Βαλλὰν τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτοῦ αὐτῇ παιδίσκην.
29Laban gave Bilhah, his servant, to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.
30καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς Ραχήλ· ἠγάπησε δὲ Ραχὴλ μᾶλλον ἢ Λείαν· καὶ ἐδούλευσεν αὐτῷ ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἕτερα.
30He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him seven more years.
31Ἰδὼν δὲ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὅτι ἐμισεῖτο Λεία, ἤνοιξε τὴν μήτραν αὐτῆς· Ραχὴλ δὲ ἦν στεῖρα·
31The LORD saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32καὶ συνέλαβε Λεία καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν τῷ Ἰακώβ· ἐκάλεσε δὲ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ρουβὴν λέγουσα· διότι εἶδέ μου Κύριος τὴν ταπείνωσιν, καὶ ἔδωκέ μοι υἱόν· νῦν οὖν ἀγαπήσει με ὁ ἀνήρ μου.
32Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because the LORD has looked at my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”
33καὶ συνέλαβε πάλιν καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν δεύτερον τῷ Ἰακὼβ καὶ εἶπεν· ὅτι ἤκουσε Κύριος ὅτι μισοῦμαι, καὶ προσέδωκέ μοι καὶ τοῦτον· ἐκάλεσε δὲ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Συμεών·
33She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon.
34καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν καὶ εἶπεν· ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ πρὸς ἐμοῦ ἔσται ὁ ἀνήρ μου, τέτοκα γὰρ αὐτῷ τρεῖς υἱούς· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Λευεί.
34She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
35καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτι ἔτεκεν υἱὸν καὶ εἶπε· νῦν ἔτι τοῦτο ἐξομολογήσομαι τῷ Κυρίῳ· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰούδαν. καὶ ἔστη τοῦ τίκτειν.
35She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
