1. Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
Kemudian berangkatlah Yakub dari situ dan pergi ke negeri Bani Timur. 2. And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.
Ketika ia memandang sekelilingnya, dilihatnya ada sebuah sumur di padang, dan ada tiga kumpulan kambing domba berbaring di dekatnya, sebab dari sumur itulah orang memberi minum kumpulan-kumpulan kambing domba itu. Adapun batu penutup sumur itu besar; 3. And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.
dan apabila segala kumpulan kambing domba itu digiring berkumpul ke sana, maka gembala-gembala menggulingkan batu itu dari mulut sumur, lalu kambing domba itu diberi minum; kemudian dikembalikanlah batu itu lagi ke mulut sumur itu. 4. And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
Bertanyalah Yakub kepada mereka: "Saudara-saudara, dari manakah kamu ini?" Jawab mereka: "Kami ini dari Haran." 5. And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
Lagi katanya kepada mereka: "Kenalkah kamu Laban, cucu Nahor?" Jawab mereka: "Kami kenal." 6. And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
Selanjutnya katanya kepada mereka: "Selamatkah ia?" Jawab mereka: "Selamat! Tetapi lihat, itu datang anaknya perempuan, Rahel, dengan kambing dombanya." 7. And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
Lalu kata Yakub: "Hari masih siang, belum waktunya untuk mengumpulkan ternak; berilah minum kambing dombamu itu, kemudian pergilah menggembalakannya lagi." 8. And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
Tetapi jawab mereka: "Kami tidak dapat melakukan itu selama segala kumpulan binatang itu belum berkumpul; barulah batu itu digulingkan dari mulut sumur dan kami memberi minum kambing domba kami." 9. And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
Selagi ia berkata-kata dengan mereka, datanglah Rahel dengan kambing domba ayahnya, sebab dialah yang menggembalakannya. 10. And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
Ketika Yakub melihat Rahel, anak Laban saudara ibunya, serta kambing domba Laban, ia datang mendekat, lalu menggulingkan batu itu dari mulut sumur, dan memberi minum kambing domba itu. 11. And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Kemudian Yakub mencium Rahel serta menangis dengan suara keras. 12. And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
Lalu Yakub menceritakan kepada Rahel, bahwa ia sanak saudara ayah Rahel, dan anak Ribka. Maka berlarilah Rahel menceritakannya kepada ayahnya. 13. And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
Segera sesudah Laban mendengar kabar tentang Yakub, anak saudaranya itu, berlarilah ia menyongsong dia, lalu mendekap dan mencium dia, kemudian membawanya ke rumahnya. Maka Yakub menceritakan segala hal ihwalnya kepada Laban. 14. And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
Kata Laban kepadanya: "Sesungguhnya engkau sedarah sedaging dengan aku." Maka tinggallah Yakub padanya genap sebulan lamanya. 15. And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
Kemudian berkatalah Laban kepada Yakub: "Masakan karena engkau adalah sanak saudaraku, engkau bekerja padaku dengan cuma-cuma? Katakanlah kepadaku apa yang patut menjadi upahmu." 16. And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Laban mempunyai dua anak perempuan; yang lebih tua namanya Lea dan yang lebih muda namanya Rahel. 17. Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
Lea tidak berseri matanya, tetapi Rahel itu elok sikapnya dan cantik parasnya. 18. And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
Yakub cinta kepada Rahel, sebab itu ia berkata: "Aku mau bekerja padamu tujuh tahun lamanya untuk mendapat Rahel, anakmu yang lebih muda itu." 19. And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
Sahut Laban: "Lebih baiklah ia kuberikan kepadamu dari pada kepada orang lain; maka tinggallah padaku." 20. And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
Jadi bekerjalah Yakub tujuh tahun lamanya untuk mendapat Rahel itu, tetapi yang tujuh tahun itu dianggapnya seperti beberapa hari saja, karena cintanya kepada Rahel. 21. And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
Sesudah itu berkatalah Yakub kepada Laban: "Berikanlah kepadaku bakal isteriku itu, sebab jangka waktuku telah genap, supaya aku akan kawin dengan dia." 22. And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Lalu Laban mengundang semua orang di tempat itu, dan mengadakan perjamuan. 23. And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
Tetapi pada waktu malam diambilnyalah Lea, anaknya, lalu dibawanya kepada Yakub. Maka Yakubpun menghampiri dia. 24. And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
Lagipula Laban memberikan Zilpa, budaknya perempuan, kepada Lea, anaknya itu, menjadi budaknya. 25. And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
Tetapi pada waktu pagi tampaklah bahwa itu Lea! Lalu berkatalah Yakub kepada Laban: "Apakah yang kauperbuat terhadap aku ini? Bukankah untuk mendapat Rahel aku bekerja padamu? Mengapa engkau menipu aku?" 26. And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Jawab Laban: "Tidak biasa orang berbuat demikian di tempat kami ini, mengawinkan adiknya lebih dahulu dari pada kakaknya. 27. Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
Genapilah dahulu tujuh hari perkawinanmu dengan anakku ini; kemudian anakku yang lainpun akan diberikan kepadamu sebagai upah, asal engkau bekerja pula padaku tujuh tahun lagi." 28. And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
Maka Yakub berbuat demikian; ia menggenapi ketujuh hari perkawinannya dengan Lea, kemudian Laban memberikan kepadanya Rahel, anaknya itu, menjadi isterinya. 30. And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
Yakub menghampiri Rahel juga, malah ia lebih cinta kepada Rahel dari pada kepada Lea. Demikianlah ia bekerja pula pada Laban tujuh tahun lagi. 31. And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
Ketika TUHAN melihat, bahwa Lea tidak dicintai, dibuka-Nyalah kandungannya, tetapi Rahel mandul. 32. And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
Lea mengandung, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, dan menamainya Ruben, sebab katanya: "Sesungguhnya TUHAN telah memperhatikan kesengsaraanku; sekarang tentulah aku akan dicintai oleh suamiku." 33. And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
Mengandung pulalah ia, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, maka ia berkata: "Sesungguhnya, TUHAN telah mendengar, bahwa aku tidak dicintai, lalu diberikan-Nya pula anak ini kepadaku." Maka ia menamai anak itu Simeon. 34. And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
Mengandung pulalah ia, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, maka ia berkata: "Sekali ini suamiku akan lebih erat kepadaku, karena aku telah melahirkan tiga anak laki-laki baginya." Itulah sebabnya ia menamai anak itu Lewi. 35. And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
Mengandung pulalah ia, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, maka ia berkata: "Sekali ini aku akan bersyukur kepada TUHAN." Itulah sebabnya ia menamai anak itu Yehuda. Sesudah itu ia tidak melahirkan lagi.
