1ΙΔΟΥΣΑ δὲ Ραχὴλ ὅτι οὐ τέτοκε τῷ Ἰακώβ, καὶ ἐζήλωσε Ραχὴλ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἰακώβ· δός μοι τέκνα· εἰ δὲ μή, τελευτήσω ἐγώ.
1And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said unto Jacob: 'Give me children, or else I die.'
2θυματωθεὶς δὲ Ἰακὼβ τῇ Ραχὴλ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· μὴ ἀντὶ Θεοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι, ὃς ἐστέρησέ σε καρπὸν κοιλίας;
2And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel; and he said: 'Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?'
3εἶπε δὲ Ραχὴλ τῷ Ἰακώβ· ἰδοὺ ἡ παιδίσκη μου Βαλλά· εἴσελθε πρὸς αὐτήν, καὶ τέξεται ἐπὶ τῶν γονάτων μου, καὶ τεκνοποιήσομαι κἀγὼ ἐξ αὐτῆς.
3And she said: 'Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; that she may bear upon my knees, and I also may be builded up through her.'
4καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Βαλλὰν τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτῆς αὐτῷ γυναῖκα· καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὴν Ἰακώβ.
4And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife; and Jacob went in unto her.
5καὶ συνέλαβε Βαλλὰ ἡ παιδίσκη Ραχὴλ καὶ ἔτεκε τῷ Ἰακὼβ υἱόν.
5And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
6καὶ εἶπε Ραχήλ· ἔκρινέ μοι ὁ Θεὸς καὶ ἐπήκουσε τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ ἔδωκέ μοι υἱόν· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Δάν.
6And Rachel said: 'God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son.' Therefore called she his name Dan.
7καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι Βαλλὰ ἡ παιδίσκη Ραχὴλ καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν δεύτερον τῷ Ἰακώβ.
7And Bilhah Rachel's handmaid conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
8καὶ εἶπε Ραχήλ· συναντελάβετό μου ὁ Θεός, καὶ συνανεστράφην τῇ ἀδελφῇ μου καὶ ἠδυνάσθην· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Νεφθαλείμ.
8And Rachel said: 'With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed.' And she called his name Naphtali.
9Εἶδε δὲ Λεία ὅτι ἔστη τοῦ τίκτειν, καὶ ἔλαβε Ζελφὰν τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτῆς καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ Ἰακὼβ γυναῖκα. καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὴν
9When Leah saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.
10καὶ συνέλαβε Ζελφὰ ἡ παιδίσκη Λείας καὶ ἔτεκε τῷ Ἰακὼβ υἱόν.
10And Zilpah Leah's handmaid bore Jacob a son.
11καὶ εἶπε Λεία. ἐν τύχῃ· καὶ ἐπωνόμασε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Γάδ.
11And Leah said: 'Fortune is come!' And she called his name Gad.
12καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι Ζελφὰ ἡ παιδίσκη Λείας καὶ ἔτεκε τῷ Ἰακὼβ υἱὸν δεύτερον.
12And Zilpah Leah's handmaid bore Jacob a second son.
13καὶ εἶπε Λεία· μακαρία ἐγώ, ὅτι μακαριοῦσί με αἱ γυναῖκες· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἀσήρ.
13And Leah said: 'Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy.' And she called his name Asher.
14Ἐπορεύθη δὲ Ρουβὴν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θερισμοῦ πυρῶν καὶ εὗρε μῆλα μανδραγορῶν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτὰ πρὸς Λείαν τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ· εἶπε δὲ Ραχὴλ Λείᾳ τῇ ἀδελφῇ αὐτῆς· δός μοι τῶν μανδραγορῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ σου.
14And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah: 'Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.'
15εἶπε δὲ Λεία· οὐχ ἱκανόν σοι ὅτι ἔλαβες τὸν ἄνδρα μου; μὴ καὶ τοὺς μανδραγόρας τοῦ υἱοῦ μου λήψῃ; εἶπε δὲ Ραχήλ· οὐχ οὕτως· κοιμηθήτω μετὰ σοῦ τὴν νύκτα ταύτην ἀντὶ τῶν μανδραγορῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ σου.
15And she said unto her: 'Is it a small matter that thou hast taken away my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also?' And Rachel said: 'Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.'
16εἰσῆλθε δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἐξ ἀγροῦ ἑσπέρας, καὶ ἐξῆλθε Λεία εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπε· πρὸς ἐμὲ εἰσελεύσῃ σήμερον· μεμίσθωμαι γάρ σε ἀντὶ τῶν μανδραγορῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ μου. καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετ᾿ αὐτῆς τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην.
16And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said: 'Thou must come in unto me; for I have surely hired thee with my son's mandrakes.' And he lay with her that night.
17καὶ ἐπήκουσεν ὁ Θεὸς Λείας, καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκε τῷ Ἰακὼβ υἱὸν πέμπτον.
17And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
18καὶ εἶπε Λεία· δέδωκέ μοι ὁ Θεὸς τὸν μισθόν μου, ἀνθ᾿ οὗ ἔδωκα τὴν παιδίσκην μου τῷ ἀνδρί μου· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰσσάχαρ, ὅ ἐστι μισθός.
18And Leah said: 'God hath given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
19καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι Λεία καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν ἕκτον τῷ Ἰακώβ.
19And Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
20καὶ εἶπε Λεία· δεδώρηται ὁ Θεός μοι δῶρον καλὸν ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ· αἱρετιεῖ με ὁ ἀνήρ μου, τέτοκα γὰρ αὐτῷ υἱοὺς ἕξ· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ζαβουλών.
20And Leah said: 'God hath endowed me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons.' And she called his name Zebulun.
21καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἔτεκε θυγατέρα καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Δείνα.
21And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
22Ἐμνήσθη δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῆς Ραχήλ, καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῆς ὁ Θεὸς καὶ ἀνέῳξεν αὐτῆς τὴν μήτραν,
22And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
23καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκε τῷ Ἰακὼβ υἱόν. εἶπε δὲ Ραχήλ· ἀφεῖλεν ὁ Θεός μου τὸ ὄνειδος·
23And she conceived, and bore a son, and said: 'God hath taken away my reproach.'
24καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰωσὴφ λέγουσα· προσθέτω ὁ Θεός μοι υἱὸν ἕτερον.
24And she called his name Joseph, saying: 'The LORD add to me another son.'
25Ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς ἔτεκε Ραχὴλ τὸν Ἰωσήφ, εἶπεν Ἰακὼβ τῷ Λάβαν· ἀπόστειλόν με, ἵνα ἀπέλθω εἰς τὸν τόπον μου καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου.
25And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban: 'Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
26ἀπόδος τὰς γυναῖκάς μου καὶ τὰ παιδία μου, περὶ ὧν δεδούλευκά σοι, ἵνα ἀπέλθω· σὺ γὰρ γινώσκεις τὴν δουλείαν, ἣν δεδούλευκά σοι.
26Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee, and let me go; for thou knowest my service wherewith I have served thee.'
27εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ Λάβαν· εἰ εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον σου, οἰωνισάμην ἄν· εὐλόγησε γάρ με ὁ Θεὸς ἐπὶ τῇ σῇ εἰσόδῳ.
27And Laban said unto him: 'If now I have found favour in thine eyes — I have observed the signs, and the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.'
28διάστειλον τὸν μισθόν σου πρός με, καὶ δώσω.
28And he said: 'Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.'
29εἶπε δὲ Ἰακώβ· σὺ γινώσκεις ἃ δεδούλευκά σοι καὶ ὅσα ἦν κτήνη σου μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ·
29And he said unto him: 'Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me.
30μικρὰ γὰρ ἦν ὅσα σοι ἐναντίον ἐμοῦ, καὶ ηὐξήθη εἰς πλῆθος, καὶ εὐλόγησέ σε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἐπὶ τῷ ποδί μου. νῦν οὖν πότε ποιήσω κἀγὼ ἐμαυτῷ οἶκον;
30For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased abundantly; and the LORD hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned. And now when shall I provide for mine own house also?'
31καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Λάβαν· τί σοι δώσω; εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ Ἰακώβ· οὐ δώσεις μοι οὐδέν· ἐὰν ποιήσῃς μοι τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο, πάλιν ποιμανῶ τὰ πρόβατά σου καὶ φυλάξω.
31And he said: 'What shall I give thee?' And Jacob said: 'Thou shalt not give me aught; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed thy flock and keep it.
32παρελθέτω πάντα τὰ πρόβατά σου σήμερον, καὶ διαχώρισον ἐκεῖθεν πᾶν πρόβατον φαιὸν ἐν τοῖς ἄρνασι καὶ πᾶν διάλευκον καὶ ραντὸν ἐν ταῖς αἰξίν· ἔσται μοι μισθός.
32I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every dark one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and of such shall be my hire.
33καὶ ἐπακούσεταί μοι ἡ δικαιοσύνη μου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἐπαύριον, ὅτι ἐστὶν ὁ μισθός μου ἐνώπιόν σου· πᾶν, ὃ ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ ραντὸν καὶ διάλευκον ἐν ταῖς αἰξὶ καὶ φαιὸν ἐν τοῖς ἄρνασι, κεκλεμμένον ἔσται παρ᾿ ἐμοί.
33So shall my righteousness witness against me hereafter, when thou shalt come to look over my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and dark among the sheep, that if found with me shall be counted stolen.'
34εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ Λάβαν· ἔστω κατὰ τὸ ρῆμά σου.
34And Laban said: 'Behold, would it might be according to thy word.'
35καὶ διέστειλεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τοὺς τράγους τοὺς ραντοὺς καὶ τοὺς διαλεύκους καὶ πάσας τὰς αἶγας τὰς ραντὰς καὶ τὰς διαλεύκους καὶ πᾶν, ὃ ἦν φαιὸν ἐν τοῖς ἄρνασι, καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἦν λευκὸν ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἔδωκε διὰ χειρὸς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ.
35And he removed that day the he-goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the dark ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
36καὶ ἀπέστησεν ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ἰακώβ. Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἐποίμανε τὰ πρόβατα Λάβαν τὰ ὑπολειφθέντα.
36And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob. And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
37ἔλαβε δὲ ἑαυτῷ Ἰακὼβ ράβδον στυρακίνην χλωρὰν καὶ καρυΐνην καὶ πλατάνου, καὶ ἐλέπισεν αὐτὰς Ἰακὼβ λεπίσματα λευκὰ περισύρων τὸ χλωρόν· ἐφαίνετο δὲ ἐπὶ ταῖς ράβδοις τὸ λευκόν, ὃ ἐλέπισε, ποικίλον.
37And Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, making the white appear which was in the rods.
38καὶ παρέθηκε τὰς ράβδους, ἃς ἐλέπισεν ἐν τοῖς ληνοῖς τῶν ποτιστηρίων τοῦ ὕδατος, ἵνα ὡς ἂν ἔλθωσι τὰ πρόβατα πιεῖν ἐνώπιον τῶν ράβδων, ἐλθόντων αὐτῶν πιεῖν, ἐγκισσήσωσι τὰ πρόβατα εἰς τὰς ράβδους·
38And he set the rods which he had peeled over against the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink; and they conceived when they came to drink.
39καὶ ἐνεκίσσων τὰ πρόβατα εἰς τὰς ράβδους καὶ ἔτικτον τὰ πρόβατα διάλευκα καὶ ποικίλα καὶ σποδοειδῆ ραντά.
39And the flocks conceived at the sight of the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.
40τοὺς δὲ ἀμνοὺς διέστειλεν Ἰακὼβ καὶ ἔστησεν ἐναντίον τῶν προβάτων κριὸν διάλευκον καὶ πᾶν ποικίλον ἐν τοῖς ἀμνοῖς· καὶ διεχώρισεν ἑαυτῷ ποίμνια καθ᾿ ἑαυτὸν καὶ οὐκ ἔμιξεν αὐτὰ εἰς τὰ πρόβατα Λάβαν.
40And Jacob separated the lambs — he also set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the dark in the flock of Laban — and put his own droves apart, and put them not unto Laban's flock.
41ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ, ᾧ ἐνεκίσσων τὰ πρόβατα ἐν γαστρὶ λαμβάνοντα, ἔθηκεν Ἰακὼβ τὰς ράβδους ἐναντίον τῶν προβάτων ἐν τοῖς ληνοῖς τοῦ ἐγκισσῆσαι αὐτὰ κατὰ τὰς ράβδους·
41And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger of the flock did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;
42ἡνίκα δ᾿ ἂν ἔτεκε τὰ πρόβατα, οὐκ ἐτίθει· ἐγένετο δὲ τὰ μὲν ἄσημα τοῦ Λάβαν, τά δὲ ἐπίσημα τοῦ Ἰακώβ.
42but when the flock were feeble, he put them not in; so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
43καὶ ἐπλούτισεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος σφόδρα σφόδρα, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ κτήνη πολλὰ καὶ βόες καὶ παῖδες, καὶ παιδίσκαι καὶ κάμηλοι καὶ ὄνοι.
43And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses.
