1 И встал Иаков и пошел в землю сынов востока [к Лавану, сыну Вафуила Арамеянина, к брату Ревекки, матери Иакова и Исава].
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
2 И увидел: вот, на поле колодезь, и там три стада мелкого скота, лежавшие около него, потому что из того колодезя поили стада. Над устьем колодезя был большой камень.
2 He 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.
3 Когда собирались туда все стада, отваливали камень от устья колодезя и поили овец; потом опять клали камень на свое место, на устье колодезя.
3 There 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.
4 Иаков сказал им [пастухам]: братья мои! откуда вы? Они сказали: мы из Харрана.
4 Jacob said to them, “My relatives, where are you from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
5 Он сказал им: знаете ли вы Лавана, сына Нахорова? Они сказали: знаем.
5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
6 Он еще сказал им: здравствует ли он? Они сказали: здравствует; и вот, Рахиль, дочь его, идет с овцами.
6 He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.”
7 И сказал [Иаков]: вот, дня еще много; не время собирать скот; напойте овец и пойдите, пасите.
7 He 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.”
8 Они сказали: не можем, пока не соберутся все стада, и не отвалят камня от устья колодезя; тогда будем мы поить овец.
8 They 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.”
9 Еще он говорил с ними, как пришла Рахиль [дочь Лавана] с мелким скотом отца своего, потому что она пасла [мелкий скот отца своего].
9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them.
10 Когда Иаков увидел Рахиль, дочь Лавана, брата матери своей, и овец Лавана, брата матери своей, то подошел Иаков, отвалил камень от устья колодезя и напоил овец Лавана, брата матери своей.
10 When 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.
11 И поцеловал Иаков Рахиль и возвысил голос свой и заплакал.
11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 И сказал Иаков Рахили, что он родственник отцу ее и что он сын Ревеккин. А она побежала и сказала отцу своему [всё сие].
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.
13 Лаван, услышав о Иакове, сыне сестры своей, выбежал ему навстречу, обнял его и поцеловал его, и ввел его в дом свой; и он рассказал Лавану всё сие.
13 When 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.
14 Лаван же сказал ему: подлинно ты кость моя и плоть моя. И жил у него Иаков целый месяц.
14 Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month.
15 И Лаван сказал Иакову: неужели ты даром будешь служить мне, потому что ты родственник? скажи мне, что заплатить тебе?
15 Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
16 У Лавана же было две дочери; имя старшей: Лия; имя младшей: Рахиль.
16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Лия была слаба глазами, а Рахиль была красива станом и красива лицем.
17 Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.
18 Иаков полюбил Рахиль и сказал: я буду служить тебе семь лет за Рахиль, младшую дочь твою.
18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
19 Лаван сказал [ему]: лучше отдать мне ее за тебя, нежели отдать ее за другого кого; живи у меня.
19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
20 И служил Иаков за Рахиль семь лет; и они показались ему за несколько дней, потому что он любил ее.
20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
21 И сказал Иаков Лавану: дай жену мою, потому что мне уже исполнилось время, чтобы войти к ней.
21 Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”
22 Лаван созвал всех людей того места и сделал пир.
22 Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 Вечером же взял [Лаван] дочь свою Лию и ввел ее к нему; и вошел к ней [Иаков].
23 In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.
24 И дал Лаван служанку свою Зелфу в служанки дочери своей Лии.
24 Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.
25 Утром же оказалось, что это Лия. И [Иаков] сказал Лавану: что это сделал ты со мною? не за Рахиль ли я служил у тебя? зачем ты обманул меня?
25 In 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?”
26 Лаван сказал: в нашем месте так не делают, чтобы младшую выдать прежде старшей;
26 Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 окончи неделю этой, потом дадим тебе и ту за службу, которую ты будешь служить у меня еще семь лет других.
27 Fulfill 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.”
28 Иаков так и сделал и окончил неделю этой. И [Лаван] дал Рахиль, дочь свою, ему в жену.
28 Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
29 И дал Лаван служанку свою Валлу в служанки дочери своей Рахили.
29 Laban gave Bilhah, his servant, to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.
30 [Иаков] вошел и к Рахили, и любил Рахиль больше, нежели Лию; и служил у него еще семь лет других.
30 He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him seven more years.
31 Господь [Бог] узрел, что Лия была нелюбима, и отверз утробу ее, а Рахиль была неплодна.
31 Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32 Лия зачала и родила [Иакову] сына, и нарекла ему имя: Рувим, потому что сказала она: Господь призрел на мое бедствие [и дал мне сына], ибо теперь будет любить меня муж мой.
32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”
33 И зачала [Лия] опять и родила [Иакову второго] сына, и сказала: Господь услышал, что я нелюбима, и дал мне и сего. И нарекла ему имя: Симеон.
33 She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon.
34 И зачала еще и родила сына, и сказала: теперь—то прилепится ко мне муж мой, ибо я родила ему трех сынов. От сего наречено ему имя: Левий.
34 She 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.
35 И еще зачала и родила сына, и сказала: теперь—то я восхвалю Господа. Посему нарекла ему имя Иуда. И перестала рождать.
35 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time I will praise Yahweh.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For let us remember Jacob who before he received Rachel, said to Laban, Give me my wife.
