ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ - Genesi - Genesis 29

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Και εκινησεν ο Ιακωβ και υπηγεν εις την γην των κατοικων της ανατολης.	1 Then Jacob went on in his journey, and came into the east country.
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 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.
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 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.
4 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιακωβ, Αδελφοι, ποθεν εισθε; Οι δε ειπον, Εκ της Χαρραν ειμεθα.	4 And he said to the shepherds: Brethren, whence are you? They answered: Of Haran.
5 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Γνωριζετε Λαβαν τον υιον του Ναχωρ; οι δε ειπον, Γνωριζομεν.	5 And he asked them, saying: Know you Laban the son of Nachor? 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: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold Rachel his daughter cometh with his flock.
7 Και ειπεν, Ιδου, μενει ακομη ημερα πολλη, δεν ειναι ωρα να συρθωσι τα κτηνη? ποτισατε τα προβατα και υπαγετε να βοσκησητε αυτα.	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.
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 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.
9 Και ενω ακομη ελαλει προς αυτους, ηλθεν η Ραχηλ μετα των προβατων του πατρος αυτης? διοτι αυτη εβοσκε.	9 They were yet speaking, and behold Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she fed the flock.
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 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.
11 Και εφιλησεν ο Ιακωβ την Ραχηλ και υψωσας την φωνην αυτου εκλαυσε.	11 And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice, wept.
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 he told her that he was her father's brother, and the son of Rebecca: but she went in haste 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 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,
14 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Λαβαν, Βεβαια οστουν μου και σαρξ μου εισαι. Και κατωκησε μετ' αυτου ενα μηνα.	14 He answered: Thou art my bone and my flesh. And after the days of one month were expired,
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 He said to him: Because thou art my brother, shalt thou serve me without wages? Tell me what wages thou wilt have.
16 Ειχε δε Λαβαν δυο θυγατερας? το ονομα της πρεσβυτερας, Λεια, και το ονομα της μικροτερας Ραχηλ.	16 Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia: and the younger was called Richel.
17 Και της μεν Λειας οι οφθαλμοι ησαν ασθενεις? η δε Ραχηλ ητο ευειδης και ωραια την οψιν.	17 But Lia was blear eyed: Rachel was well favoured, and of a beautiful countenance.
18 Και ηγαπησεν ο Ιακωβ την Ραχηλ? και ειπε, Θελω σε δουλευει επτα ετη δια την Ραχηλ, την θυγατερα σου την μικροτεραν.	18 And Jacob being in love with her, said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Και ειπεν ο Λαβαν, Καλητερα να δωσω αυτην εις σε, παρα να δωσω αυτην εις αλλον ανδρα? κατοικησον μετ' εμου.	19 Lahan answered: It is better that I give her thee than to another 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 but a few days, because of the greatness of his love.
21 Και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ προς τον Λαβαν, Δος μοι την γυναικα μου, διοτι επληρωθησαν αι ημεραι μου, δια να εισελθω προς αυτην.	21 And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 Και συνηγαγεν ο Λαβαν παντας τους ανθρωπους του τοπου και εκαμε συμποσιον.	22 And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage.
23 Και το εσπερας, λαβων την Λειαν την θυγατερα αυτου, εφερεν αυτην προς αυτον? και εισηλθε προς αυτην.	23 And at night he brought in Lia his daughter to him,
24 Και εδωκεν ο Λαβαν εις Λειαν την θυγατερα αυτου, δια θεραπαιναν αυτης, Ζελφαν την θεραπαιναν αυτου.	24 Giving his daughter a handmaid, named Zalpha. Now when Jacob had gone in to her according to custom when morning was come he saw it was Lia:
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 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?
26 Και ειπεν ο Λαβαν, Δεν γινεται ουτως εν τω τοπω ημων, να διδωται η μικροτερα προ της πρεσβυτερας?	26 Laban answered: It is not the custom in this place, to give the younger in marriage first.
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 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.
28 Και εκαμεν ο Ιακωβ ουτω και εξεπληρωσε την εβδομαδα αυτης? και εδωκεν εις αυτον την Ραχηλ την θυγατερα αυτου εις γυναικα.	28 He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel:
29 Και εδωκεν ο Λαβαν εις Ραχηλ την θυγατερα αυτου, δια θεραπαιναν αυτης, Βαλλαν την θεραπαιναν αυτου.	29 To whom her father gave Bala for her servant.
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 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.
31 Και ιδων ο Κυριος οτι εμισειτο η Λεια, ηνοιξε την μητραν αυτης? η δε Ραχηλ ητο στειρα.	31 And the Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, but her sister remained 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 she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Ruben, saying: The Lord saw my affliction: 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 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.
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 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 hi sname 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 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.
