| 1 Και εκινησεν ο Ιακωβ και υπηγεν εις την γην των κατοικων της ανατολης. | 1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the people of the east. |
| 2 Και ειδε, και ιδου, φρεαρ εν τη πεδιαδι και ιδου, εκει τρια ποιμνια προβατων αναπαυομενα πλησιον αυτου, διοτι εκ του φρεατος εκεινον εποτιζον τα ποιμνια? λιθος δε μεγας ητο επι το στομιον του φρεατος. | 2 As he looked, he saw a well in the field, and lo, three flocks of sheep lying beside it; for out of that well the flocks were watered. The stone on the well's mouth was large, |
| 3 Και οτε συνηγοντο εκει παντα τα ποιμνια, απεκυλιον τον λιθον απο του στομιου του φρεατος, και εποτιζον τα ποιμνια? επειτα εθετον παλιν τον λιθον επι το στομιον του φρεατος εις τον τοπον αυτου. | 3 and when all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place upon the mouth of the well. |
| 4 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιακωβ, Αδελφοι, ποθεν εισθε; Οι δε ειπον, Εκ της Χαρραν ειμεθα. | 4 Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where do you come from?" They said, "We are from Haran." |
| 5 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Γνωριζετε Λαβαν τον υιον του Ναχωρ; οι δε ειπον, Γνωριζομεν. | 5 He said to them, "Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?" They said, "We know him." |
| 6 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Υγιαινει; Οι δε ειπον, Υγιαινει? και ιδου, Ραχηλ η θυγατηρ αυτου ερχεται μετα των προβατων. | 6 He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well; and see, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep!" |
| 7 Και ειπεν, Ιδου, μενει ακομη ημερα πολλη, δεν ειναι ωρα να συρθωσι τα κτηνη? ποτισατε τα προβατα και υπαγετε να βοσκησητε αυτα. | 7 He said, "Behold, it is still high day, it is not time for the animals to be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, pasture them." |
| 8 Οι δε ειπον, Δεν δυναμεθα, εωσου συναχθωσι παντα τα ποιμνια, και να αποκυλισωσι τον λιθον απο του στομιου του φρεατος? τοτε ποτιζομεν τα προβατα. | 8 But they said, "We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep." |
| 9 Και ενω ακομη ελαλει προς αυτους, ηλθεν η Ραχηλ μετα των προβατων του πατρος αυτης? διοτι αυτη εβοσκε. | 9 While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them. |
| 10 Και ως ειδεν ο Ιακωβ την Ραχηλ, θυγατερα του Λαβαν του αδελφου της μητρος αυτου, και τα προβατα του Λαβαν του αδελφου της μητρος αυτου, επλησιασεν ο Ιακωβ και απεκυλισε τον λιθον απο του στομιου του φρεατος, και εποτισε τα προβατα του Λαβαν, του αδελφου της μητρος αυτου. | 10 Now when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. |
| 11 Και εφιλησεν ο Ιακωβ την Ραχηλ και υψωσας την φωνην αυτου εκλαυσε. | 11 Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and wept aloud. |
| 12 Και απηγγειλεν ο Ιακωβ προς την Ραχηλ, οτι ειναι αδελφος του πατρος αυτης, και οτι ειναι υιος της Ρεβεκκας? και εκεινη δραμουσα απηγγειλε τουτο εις τον πατερα αυτης. | 12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's kinsman, and that he was Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father. |
| 13 Και ως ηκουσεν ο Λαβαν το ονομα του Ιακωβ του υιου της αδελφης αυτου, εδραμεν εις συναντησιν αυτου? και εναγκαλισθεις αυτον, εφιλησεν αυτον και εφερεν αυτον εις την οικιαν αυτου? και διηγηθη ο Ιακωβ προς τον Λαβαν παντα τα γενομενα. | 13 When Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things, |
| 14 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Λαβαν, Βεβαια οστουν μου και σαρξ μου εισαι. Και κατωκησε μετ' αυτου ενα μηνα. | 14 and Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh!" And he stayed with him a month. |
| 15 Και ειπεν ο Λαβαν προς τον Ιακωβ, Επειδη εισαι αδελφος μου, δια τουτο θελεις με δουλευει δωρεαν; ειπε μοι, τις θελει εισθαι ο μισθος σου; | 15 Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?" |
| 16 Ειχε δε Λαβαν δυο θυγατερας? το ονομα της πρεσβυτερας, Λεια, και το ονομα της μικροτερας Ραχηλ. | 16 Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. |
| 17 Και της μεν Λειας οι οφθαλμοι ησαν ασθενεις? η δε Ραχηλ ητο ευειδης και ωραια την οψιν. | 17 Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and lovely. |
| 18 Και ηγαπησεν ο Ιακωβ την Ραχηλ? και ειπε, Θελω σε δουλευει επτα ετη δια την Ραχηλ, την θυγατερα σου την μικροτεραν. | 18 Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, "I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel." |
| 19 Και ειπεν ο Λαβαν, Καλητερα να δωσω αυτην εις σε, παρα να δωσω αυτην εις αλλον ανδρα? κατοικησον μετ' εμου. | 19 Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me." |
| 20 Και εδουλευσεν ο Ιακωβ δια την Ραχηλ επτα ετη? και εφαινοντο εις αυτον ως ημεραι ολιγαι, δια την προς αυτην αγαπην αυτου. | 20 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her. |
| 21 Και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ προς τον Λαβαν, Δος μοι την γυναικα μου, διοτι επληρωθησαν αι ημεραι μου, δια να εισελθω προς αυτην. | 21 Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed." |
| 22 Και συνηγαγεν ο Λαβαν παντας τους ανθρωπους του τοπου και εκαμε συμποσιον. | 22 So Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. |
| 23 Και το εσπερας, λαβων την Λειαν την θυγατερα αυτου, εφερεν αυτην προς αυτον? και εισηλθε προς αυτην. | 23 But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob; and he went in to her. |
| 24 Και εδωκεν ο Λαβαν εις Λειαν την θυγατερα αυτου, δια θεραπαιναν αυτης, Ζελφαν την θεραπαιναν αυτου. | 24 (Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her maid.) |
| 25 Και το πρωι, ιδου, αυτη ητο η Λεια? και ειπε προς τον Λαβαν, Τι τουτο το οποιον επραξας εις εμε; δεν σε εδουλευσα δια την Ραχηλ; και δια τι με ηπατησας; | 25 And in the morning, behold, it was Leah; and Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?" |
| 26 Και ειπεν ο Λαβαν, Δεν γινεται ουτως εν τω τοπω ημων, να διδωται η μικροτερα προ της πρεσβυτερας? | 26 Laban said, "It is not so done in our country, to give the younger before the first-born. |
| 27 εκπληρωσον την εβδομαδα ταυτης, και θελω σοι δωσει και αυτην, αντι της εργασιας την οποιαν θελεις καμει εις εμε ακομη αλλα επτα ετη. | 27 Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years." |
| 28 Και εκαμεν ο Ιακωβ ουτω και εξεπληρωσε την εβδομαδα αυτης? και εδωκεν εις αυτον την Ραχηλ την θυγατερα αυτου εις γυναικα. | 28 Jacob did so, and completed her week; then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife. |
| 29 Και εδωκεν ο Λαβαν εις Ραχηλ την θυγατερα αυτου, δια θεραπαιναν αυτης, Βαλλαν την θεραπαιναν αυτου. | 29 (Laban gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her maid.) |
| 30 Και εισηλθεν ο Ιακωβ και προς την Ραχηλ? και ηγαπησε την Ραχηλ περισσοτερον παρα την Λειαν? και εδουλευσεν αυτον ακομη αλλα επτα ετη. | 30 So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years. |
| 31 Και ιδων ο Κυριος οτι εμισειτο η Λεια, ηνοιξε την μητραν αυτης? η δε Ραχηλ ητο στειρα. | 31 When the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren. |
| 32 Και συνελαβεν η Λεια και εγεννησεν υιον και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Ρουβην? διοτι ειπεν, Ειδε βεβαια ο Κυριος την ταπεινωσιν μου? τωρα λοιπον θελει με αγαπησει ο ανηρ μου. | 32 And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, "Because the LORD has looked upon my affliction; surely now my husband will love me." |
| 33 Και συνελαβε παλιν και εγεννησεν υιον? και ειπεν, Επειδη ηκουσεν ο Κυριος οτι μισουμαι, δια τουτο μοι εδωκεν ακομη και τουτον? και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Συμεων. | 33 She conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also"; and she called his name Simeon. |
| 34 Και συνελαβεν ακομη και εγεννησεν υιον? και ειπε, Τωρα ταυτην την φοραν ο ανηρ μου θελει ενωθη μετ' εμου, διοτι εγεννησα εις αυτον τρεις υιους? δια τουτο ωνομασεν αυτον Λευι. | 34 Again she conceived and bore a son, and 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 Και συνελαβε παλιν και εγεννησεν υιον? και ειπε, Ταυτην την φοραν θελω δοξολογησει τον Κυριον? δια τουτο εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Ιουδαν? και επαυσε να γεννα. | 35 And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "This time I will praise the LORD"; therefore she called his name Judah; then she ceased bearing. |
