Genesis 29

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 Then Jacob went on in his journey, and came into the east country.	1 και εξαρας ιακωβ τους ποδας επορευθη εις γην ανατολων προς λαβαν τον υιον βαθουηλ του συρου αδελφον δε ρεβεκκας μητρος ιακωβ και ησαυ
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 και ορα και ιδου φρεαρ εν τω πεδιω ησαν δε εκει τρια ποιμνια προβατων αναπαυομενα επ' αυτου εκ γαρ του φρεατος εκεινου εποτιζον τα ποιμνια λιθος δε ην μεγας επι τω στοματι του φρεατος
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 και συνηγοντο εκει παντα τα ποιμνια και απεκυλιον τον λιθον απο του στοματος του φρεατος και εποτιζον τα προβατα και απεκαθιστων τον λιθον επι το στομα του φρεατος εις τον τοπον αυτου
4 And he said to the shepherds: Brethren, whence are you? They answered: Of Haran.	4 ειπεν δε αυτοις ιακωβ αδελφοι ποθεν εστε υμεις οι δε ειπαν εκ χαρραν εσμεν
5 And he asked them, saying: Know you Laban the son of Nachor? They said: We know him.	5 ειπεν δε αυτοις γινωσκετε λαβαν τον υιον ναχωρ οι δε ειπαν γινωσκομεν
6 He said: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold Rachel his daughter cometh with his flock.	6 ειπεν δε αυτοις υγιαινει οι δε ειπαν υγιαινει και ιδου ραχηλ η θυγατηρ αυτου ηρχετο μετα των προβατων
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 και ειπεν ιακωβ ετι εστιν ημερα πολλη ουπω ωρα συναχθηναι τα κτηνη ποτισαντες τα προβατα απελθοντες βοσκετε
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 οι δε ειπαν ου δυνησομεθα εως του συναχθηναι παντας τους ποιμενας και αποκυλισωσιν τον λιθον απο του στοματος του φρεατος και ποτιουμεν τα προβατα
9 They were yet speaking, and behold Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she fed the flock.	9 ετι αυτου λαλουντος αυτοις και ραχηλ η θυγατηρ λαβαν ηρχετο μετα των προβατων του πατρος αυτης αυτη γαρ εβοσκεν τα προβατα του πατρος αυτης
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 εγενετο δε ως ειδεν ιακωβ την ραχηλ θυγατερα λαβαν αδελφου της μητρος αυτου και τα προβατα λαβαν αδελφου της μητρος αυτου και προσελθων ιακωβ απεκυλισεν τον λιθον απο του στοματος του φρεατος και εποτισεν τα προβατα λαβαν του αδελφου της μητρος αυτου
11 And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice, wept.	11 και εφιλησεν ιακωβ την ραχηλ και βοησας τη φωνη αυτου εκλαυσεν
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 και ανηγγειλεν τη ραχηλ οτι αδελφος του πατρος αυτης εστιν και οτι υιος ρεβεκκας εστιν και δραμουσα απηγγειλεν τω πατρι αυτης κατα τα ρηματα ταυτα
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 εγενετο δε ως ηκουσεν λαβαν το ονομα ιακωβ του υιου της αδελφης αυτου εδραμεν εις συναντησιν αυτω και περιλαβων αυτον εφιλησεν και εισηγαγεν αυτον εις τον οικον αυτου και διηγησατο τω λαβαν παντας τους λογους τουτους
14 He answered: Thou art my bone and my flesh. And after the days of one month were expired,	14 και ειπεν αυτω λαβαν εκ των οστων μου και εκ της σαρκος μου ει συ και ην μετ' αυτου μηνα ημερων
15 He said to him: Because thou art my brother, shalt thou serve me without wages? Tell me what wages thou wilt have.	15 ειπεν δε λαβαν τω ιακωβ οτι γαρ αδελφος μου ει ου δουλευσεις μοι δωρεαν απαγγειλον μοι τις ο μισθος σου εστιν
16 Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia: and the younger was called Richel.	16 τω δε λαβαν δυο θυγατερες ονομα τη μειζονι λεια και ονομα τη νεωτερα ραχηλ
17 But Lia was blear eyed: Rachel was well favoured, and of a beautiful countenance.	17 οι δε οφθαλμοι λειας ασθενεις ραχηλ δε καλη τω ειδει και ωραια τη οψει
18 And Jacob being in love with her, said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.	18 ηγαπησεν δε ιακωβ την ραχηλ και ειπεν δουλευσω σοι επτα ετη περι ραχηλ της θυγατρος σου της νεωτερας
19 Lahan answered: It is better that I give her thee than to another man; stay with me.	19 ειπεν δε αυτω λαβαν βελτιον δουναι με αυτην σοι η δουναι με αυτην ανδρι ετερω οικησον μετ' εμου
20 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel: and they seemed but a few days, because of the greatness of his love.	20 και εδουλευσεν ιακωβ περι ραχηλ ετη επτα και ησαν εναντιον αυτου ως ημεραι ολιγαι παρα το αγαπαν αυτον αυτην
21 And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.	21 ειπεν δε ιακωβ προς λαβαν αποδος την γυναικα μου πεπληρωνται γαρ αι ημεραι μου οπως εισελθω προς αυτην
22 And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage.	22 συνηγαγεν δε λαβαν παντας τους ανδρας του τοπου και εποιησεν γαμον
23 And at night he brought in Lia his daughter to him,	23 και εγενετο εσπερα και λαβων λαβαν λειαν την θυγατερα αυτου εισηγαγεν αυτην προς ιακωβ και εισηλθεν προς αυτην ιακωβ
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:	24 εδωκεν δε λαβαν λεια τη θυγατρι αυτου ζελφαν την παιδισκην αυτου αυτη παιδισκην
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 εγενετο δε πρωι και ιδου ην λεια ειπεν δε ιακωβ τω λαβαν τι τουτο εποιησας μοι ου περι ραχηλ εδουλευσα παρα σοι και ινα τι παρελογισω με
26 Laban answered: It is not the custom in this place, to give the younger in marriage first.	26 ειπεν δε λαβαν ουκ εστιν ουτως εν τω τοπω ημων δουναι την νεωτεραν πριν η την πρεσβυτεραν
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 συντελεσον ουν τα εβδομα ταυτης και δωσω σοι και ταυτην αντι της εργασιας ης εργα παρ' εμοι ετι επτα ετη ετερα
28 He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel:	28 εποιησεν δε ιακωβ ουτως και ανεπληρωσεν τα εβδομα ταυτης και εδωκεν αυτω λαβαν ραχηλ την θυγατερα αυτου αυτω γυναικα
29 To whom her father gave Bala for her servant.	29 εδωκεν δε λαβαν ραχηλ τη θυγατρι αυτου βαλλαν την παιδισκην αυτου αυτη παιδισκην
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 και εισηλθεν προς ραχηλ ηγαπησεν δε ραχηλ μαλλον η λειαν και εδουλευσεν αυτω επτα ετη ετερα
31 And the Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.	31 ιδων δε κυριος οτι μισειται λεια ηνοιξεν την μητραν αυτης ραχηλ δε ην στειρα
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 και συνελαβεν λεια και ετεκεν υιον τω ιακωβ εκαλεσεν δε το ονομα αυτου ρουβην λεγουσα διοτι ειδεν μου κυριος την ταπεινωσιν νυν με αγαπησει ο ανηρ μου
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 και συνελαβεν παλιν λεια και ετεκεν υιον δευτερον τω ιακωβ και ειπεν οτι ηκουσεν κυριος οτι μισουμαι και προσεδωκεν μοι και τουτον εκαλεσεν δε το ονομα αυτου συμεων
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.	34 και συνελαβεν ετι και ετεκεν υιον και ειπεν εν τω νυν καιρω προς εμου εσται ο ανηρ μου ετεκον γαρ αυτω τρεις υιους δια τουτο εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου λευι
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 και συλλαβουσα ετι ετεκεν υιον και ειπεν νυν ετι τουτο εξομολογησομαι κυριω δια τουτο εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου ιουδα και εστη του τικτειν
