1 Then Jacob went on in his journey, and came into the east country.
1 Y SIGUIÓ Jacob su camino, y fué á la tierra de los orientales.
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
2 And he saw a well in the field, and three flocks of sheep lying by it: for the beasts were watered out of it, and the mouth thereof was closed with a great stone.
2 Y miró, y vió un pozo en el campo: y he aquí tres rebaños de ovejas que yacían cerca de él; porque de aquel pozo abrevaban los ganados: y había una gran piedra sobre la boca del pozo.
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 And the custom was, when all the sheep were gathered together to roll away the stone, and after the sheep were watered, to put it on the mouth of the well again.
3 Y juntábanse allí todos los rebaños; y revolvían la piedra de sobre la boca del pozo, y abrevaban las ovejas; y volvían la piedra sobre la boca del pozo á su lugar.
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 And he said to the shepherds: Brethren, whence are you? They answered: Of Haran.
4 Y díjoles Jacob: Hermanos míos, ¿de dónde sois? Y ellos respondieron: De Harán somos.
4 Jacob said to them, “My relatives, where are you from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
5 And he asked them, saying: Know you Laban the son of Nachor? They said: We know him.
5 Y él les dijo: ¿Conocéis á Labán, hijo de Nachôr? Y ellos dijeron: Sí, le conocemos.
5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
6 He said: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold Rachel his daughter cometh with his flock.
6 Y él les dijo: ¿Tiene paz? Y ellos dijeron: Paz; y he aquí Rachêl su hija viene con el ganado.
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 And Jacob said: There is yet much day remaining, neither is it time to bring the flocks into the folds again: first give the sheep drink, and so lead them back to feed.
7 Y él dijo: He aquí el día es aún grande; no es tiempo todavía de recoger el ganado; abrevad las ovejas, é id á apacentarlas.
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 They answered: We cannot, till all the cattle be gathered together, and we remove the stone from the well’s mouth, that we may water the flocks.
8 Y ellos respondieron: No podemos, hasta que se junten todos los ganados, y remuevan la piedra de sobre la boca del pozo, para que abrevemos las ovejas.
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 They were yet speaking, and behold Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she fed the flock.
9 Estando aún él hablando con ellos, Rachêl vino con el ganado de su padre, porque ella era la pastora.
9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them.
10 And when Jacob saw her, and knew her to be his cousin-german, and that they were the sheep of Laban, his uncle: he removed the stone wherewith the well was closed.
10 Y sucedió que, como Jacob vió á Rachêl, hija de Labán hermano de su madre, y á las ovejas de Labán el hermano de su madre, llegóse Jacob, y removió la piedra de sobre la boca del pozo, y abrevó el ganado de Labán hermano de su madre.
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 And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice, wept.
11 Y Jacob besó á Rachêl, y alzó su voz, y lloró.
11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 And he told her that he was her father’s brother, and the son of Rebecca: but she went in haste and told her father.
12 Y Jacob dijo á Rachêl como él era hermano de su padre, y como era hijo de Rebeca: y ella corrió, y dió las nuevas á su padre.
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 Who, when he heard that Jacob his sister’s son was come, ran forth to meet him; and embracing him, and heartily kissing him, brought him into his house. And when he had heard the causes of his journey,
13 Y así que oyó Labán las nuevas de Jacob, hijo de su hermana, corrió á recibirlo, y abrazólo, y besólo, y trájole á su casa: y él contó á Labán todas estas cosas.
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 He answered: Thou art my bone and my flesh. And after the days of one month were expired,
14 Y Labán le dijo: Ciertamente hueso mío y carne mía eres. Y estuvo con él el tiempo de un mes.
14 Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month.
15 He said to him: Because thou art my brother, shalt thou serve me without wages? Tell me what wages thou wilt have.
15 Entonces dijo Labán á Jacob: ¿Por ser tú mi hermano, me has de servir de balde? declárame qué será tu salario.
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 Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia: and the younger was called Rachel.
16 Y Labán tenía dos hijas: el nombre de la mayor era Lea, y el nombre de la menor, Rachêl.
16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 But Lia was blear eyed: Rachel was well favoured, and of a beautiful countenance.
17 Y los ojos de Lea eran tiernos, pero Rachêl era de lindo semblante y de hermoso parecer.
17 Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.
18 And Jacob being in love with her, said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
18 Y Jacob amó á Rachêl, y dijo: Yo te serviré siete años por Rachêl tu hija menor.
18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
19 Laban answered: It is better that I give her to thee than to another man; stay with me.
19 Y Labán respondió: Mejor es que te la dé á ti, que no que la dé á otro hombre: estáte conmigo.
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 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel: and they seemed but a few days, because of the greatness of his love.
20 Así sirvió Jacob por Rachêl siete años: y pareciéronle como pocos días, porque la amaba.
20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
21 And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
21 Y dijo Jacob á Labán: Dame mi mujer, porque mi tiempo es cumplido, para que cohabite con ella.
21 Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”
22 And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage.
22 Entonces Labán juntó á todos los varones de aquel lugar, é hizo banquete.
22 Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 And at night he brought in Lia his daughter to him,
23 Y sucedió que á la noche tomó á Lea su hija, y se la trajo: y él entró á ella.
23 In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.
24 Giving his daughter a handmaid, named Zelpha. Now when Jacob had gone in to her according to custom when morning was come he saw it was Lia:
24 Y dió Labán su sierva Zilpa á su hija Lea por criada.
24 Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.
25 And he said to his father in law: What is it that thou didst mean to do? did not I serve thee for Rachel? why hast thou deceived me?
25 Y venida la mañana, he aquí que era Lea: y él dijo á Labán: ¿Qué es esto que me has hecho? ¿no te he servido por Rachêl? ¿por qué, pues, me has engañado?
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 Laban answered: It is not the custom in this place, to give the younger in marriage first.
26 Y Labán respondió: No se hace así en nuestro lugar, que se dé la menor antes de la mayor.
26 Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Make up the week of days of this match: and I will give thee her also, for the service that thou shalt render me other seven years.
27 Cumple la semana de ésta, y se te dará también la otra, por el servicio que hicieres conmigo otros siete años.
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 He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel:
28 E hizo Jacob así, y cumplió la semana de aquélla: y él le dió á Rachêl su hija por mujer.
28 Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
29 To whom her father gave Bala for her servant.
29 Y dió Labán á Rachêl su hija por criada á su sierva Bilha.
29 Laban gave Bilhah, his servant, to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.
30 And having at length obtained the marriage he wished for, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and served with him other seven years.
30 Y entró también á Rachêl: y amóla también más que á Lea: y sirvió con él aún otros siete años.
30 He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him seven more years.
31 And the Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.
31 Y vió Jehová que Lea era aborrecida, y abrió su matriz: pero Rachêl era estéril.
31 Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32 And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Ruben, saying: The Lord saw my affliction: now my husband will love me.
32 Y concibió Lea, y parió un hijo, y llamó su nombre Rubén, porque dijo: Ya que ha mirado Jehová mi aflicción; ahora por tanto me amará mi marido.
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 And again she conceived and bore a son, and said: Because the Lord heard that I was despised, he hath given this also to me: and she called his name Simeon.
33 Y concibió otra vez, y parió un hijo, y dijo: Por cuanto oyó Jehová que yo era aborrecida, me ha dado también éste. Y llamó su nombre Simeón.
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 And she conceived the third time, and bore another son: and said: Now also my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons: and therefore she called his name Levi.
34 Y concibió otra vez, y parió un hijo, y dijo: Ahora esta vez se unirá mi marido conmigo, porque le he parido tres hijos: por tanto, llamó su nombre Leví.
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 The fourth time she conceived and bore a son, and said: now will I praise the Lord: and for this she called him Juda. And she left bearing.
35 Y concibió otra vez, y parió un hijo, y dijo: Esta vez alabaré á Jehová: por esto llamó su nombre Judá: y dejó de parir.
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.
