Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
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.
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?
2θυματωθεὶς δὲ Ἰακὼβ τῇ Ραχὴλ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· μὴ ἀντὶ Θεοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι, ὃς ἐστέρησέ σε καρπὸν κοιλίας;
3And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
3εἶπε δὲ Ραχὴλ τῷ Ἰακώβ· ἰδοὺ ἡ παιδίσκη μου Βαλλά· εἴσελθε πρὸς αὐτήν, καὶ τέξεται ἐπὶ τῶν γονάτων μου, καὶ τεκνοποιήσομαι κἀγὼ ἐξ αὐτῆς.
4And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
4καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Βαλλὰν τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτῆς αὐτῷ γυναῖκα· καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὴν Ἰακώβ.
5And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
5καὶ συνέλαβε Βαλλὰ ἡ παιδίσκη Ραχὴλ καὶ ἔτεκε τῷ Ἰακὼβ υἱόν.
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.
6καὶ εἶπε Ραχήλ· ἔκρινέ μοι ὁ Θεὸς καὶ ἐπήκουσε τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ ἔδωκέ μοι υἱόν· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Δάν.
7And Bilhah Rachel’s maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
7καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι Βαλλὰ ἡ παιδίσκη Ραχὴλ καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν δεύτερον τῷ Ἰακώβ.
8And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
8καὶ εἶπε Ραχήλ· συναντελάβετό μου ὁ Θεός, καὶ συνανεστράφην τῇ ἀδελφῇ μου καὶ ἠδυνάσθην· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Νεφθαλείμ.
9When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
9Εἶδε δὲ Λεία ὅτι ἔστη τοῦ τίκτειν, καὶ ἔλαβε Ζελφὰν τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτῆς καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ Ἰακὼβ γυναῖκα. καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὴν
10And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob a son.
10καὶ συνέλαβε Ζελφὰ ἡ παιδίσκη Λείας καὶ ἔτεκε τῷ Ἰακὼβ υἱόν.
11And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
11καὶ εἶπε Λεία. ἐν τύχῃ· καὶ ἐπωνόμασε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Γάδ.
12And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob a second son.
12καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι Ζελφὰ ἡ παιδίσκη Λείας καὶ ἔτεκε τῷ Ἰακὼβ υἱὸν δεύτερον.
13And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
13καὶ εἶπε Λεία· μακαρία ἐγώ, ὅτι μακαριοῦσί με αἱ γυναῖκες· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἀσήρ.
14¶ And 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.
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.
15And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken 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.
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.
16And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
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.
17And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
17καὶ ἐπήκουσεν ὁ Θεὸς Λείας, καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκε τῷ Ἰακὼβ υἱὸν πέμπτον.
18And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
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.
19And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
19καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι Λεία καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν ἕκτον τῷ Ἰακώβ.
20And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
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.
21And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
21καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἔτεκε θυγατέρα καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Δείνα.
22¶ And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
22Ἐμνήσθη δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῆς Ραχήλ, καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῆς ὁ Θεὸς καὶ ἀνέῳξεν αὐτῆς τὴν μήτραν,
23And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
23καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκε τῷ Ἰακὼβ υἱόν. εἶπε δὲ Ραχήλ· ἀφεῖλεν ὁ Θεός μου τὸ ὄνειδος·
24And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
24καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰωσὴφ λέγουσα· προσθέτω ὁ Θεός μοι υἱὸν ἕτερον.
25¶ And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
25Ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς ἔτεκε Ραχὴλ τὸν Ἰωσήφ, εἶπεν Ἰακὼβ τῷ Λάβαν· ἀπόστειλόν με, ἵνα ἀπέλθω εἰς τὸν τόπον μου καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου.
26Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
26ἀπόδος τὰς γυναῖκάς μου καὶ τὰ παιδία μου, περὶ ὧν δεδούλευκά σοι, ἵνα ἀπέλθω· σὺ γὰρ γινώσκεις τὴν δουλείαν, ἣν δεδούλευκά σοι.
27And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
27εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ Λάβαν· εἰ εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον σου, οἰωνισάμην ἄν· εὐλόγησε γάρ με ὁ Θεὸς ἐπὶ τῇ σῇ εἰσόδῳ.
28And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it .
28διάστειλον τὸν μισθόν σου πρός με, καὶ δώσω.
29And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.
29εἶπε δὲ Ἰακώβ· σὺ γινώσκεις ἃ δεδούλευκά σοι καὶ ὅσα ἦν κτήνη σου μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ·
30For it was little which thou hadst before I came , and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
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;
31And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:
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.
32I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
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.
33So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
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.
34And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
34εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ Λάβαν· ἔστω κατὰ τὸ ρῆμά σου.
35And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
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.
36And he set three days’ journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
36καὶ ἀπέστησεν ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ἰακώβ. Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἐποίμανε τὰ πρόβατα Λάβαν τὰ ὑπολειφθέντα.
37¶ And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
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.
38And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
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·
39And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
39καὶ ἐνεκίσσων τὰ πρόβατα εἰς τὰς ράβδους καὶ ἔτικτον τὰ πρόβατα διάλευκα καὶ ποικίλα καὶ σποδοειδῆ ραντά.
40And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban’s cattle.
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.
41And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
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·
42But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
42ἡνίκα δ᾿ ἂν ἔτεκε τὰ πρόβατα, οὐκ ἐτίθει· ἐγένετο δὲ τὰ μὲν ἄσημα τοῦ Λάβαν, τά δὲ ἐπίσημα τοῦ Ἰακώβ.
43And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
43καὶ ἐπλούτισεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος σφόδρα σφόδρα, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ κτήνη πολλὰ καὶ βόες καὶ παῖδες, καὶ παιδίσκαι καὶ κάμηλοι καὶ ὄνοι.
