Genesis 29

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Jacó pôs-se de novo a caminho e foi para a terra dos filhos do oriente.	1 Then Jacob went on in his journey, and came into the east country.
2 Olhando em torno de si, viu no campo um poço junto do qual estavam deitados três rebanhos de ovelhas. Este poço servia de bebedouro para os rebanhos. Mas, sendo grande a pedra que cobria a abertura do poço	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 somente a removiam de cima quando todos os rebanhos fossem recolhidos. Davam então de beber aos animais e recolocavam a pedra no seu lugar.	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 Jacó disse aos pastores: "Meus irmãos, de, onde sois?" "Somos de Harã", responderam.	4 And he said to the shepherds: Brethren, whence are you? They answered: Of Haran.
5 "Conheceis porventura Labão, filho de Nacor?" "Sim."	5 And he asked them, saying: Know you Laban the son of Nachor? They said: We know him.
6 "Como vai ele?" "Vai muito bem; e eis justamente sua filha Raquel que vem com o rebanho."	6 He said: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold Rachel his daughter cometh with his flock.
7 "É ainda pleno dia, tornou Jacó, e não é hora de se recolherem os rebanhos. Dai de beber às ovelhas e levai-as de novo ao pasto."	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 "Não o podemos, responderam eles, antes que todos os rebanhos estejam reunidos. Tiramos então a pedra de cima do poço e damos de beber aos animais."	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 Falava ainda com eles, quando chegou Raquel com o rebanho do seu pai, porque era pastora.	9 They were yet speaking, and behold Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she fed the flock.
10 Logo que Jacó viu Raquel, filha de Labão, irmão de sua mãe, aproximou-se, rolou a pedra de cima da boca do poço e deu de beber às ovelhas de Labão.	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 Depois beijou Raquel e pôs-se a chorar.	11 And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice, wept.
12 Contou-lhe que era parente de seu pai e filho de Rebeca; e ela correu a anunciar isto ao seu pai.	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 Tendo Labão ouvido falar de Jacó, filho de sua irmã, correu-lhe ao encontro, abraçou-o, beijou-o e o conduziu à sua casa. Jacó contou-lhe tudo o que se tinha passado,	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 e Labão disse-lhe: "Sim, tu és de meus ossos e de minha carne." Jacó ficou em casa dele um mês inteiro.	14 He answered: Thou art my bone and my flesh. And after the days of one month were expired,
15 E Labão disse-lhe: "Acaso, porque és meu parente, servir-me-ás de. raça? Dize-me que salário queres."	15 He said to him: Because thou art my brother, shalt thou serve me without wages? Tell me what wages thou wilt have.
16 Ora, Labão tinha duas filhas: a mais velha chamava-se Lia, e a mais nova Raquel.	16 Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia: and the younger was called Richel.
17 Lia tinha os olhos embaciados, e Raquel era bela de talhe e rosto.	17 But Lia was blear eyed: Rachel was well favoured, and of a beautiful countenance.
18 Jacó, que amava Raquel, disse a Labão: "Eu te servirei sete anos por Raquel tua filha mais nova."	18 And Jacob being in love with her, said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 "E melhor, respondeu Labão, dá-la a ti que a outro: fica comigo."	19 Lahan answered: It is better that I give her thee than to another man; stay with me.
20 Assim, Jacó serviu por Raquel sete anos, que lhe pareceram dias, tão grande era o amor que lhe tinha.	20 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel: and they seemed but a few days, because of the greatness of his love.
21 Disse, pois, a Labão: "Dá-me minha mulher, porque está completo o meu tempo e quero desposá-la."	21 And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 Labão reuniu. todos os habitantes do lugar e deu um banquete.	22 And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage.
23 Mas, à noite, conduziu, Lia a Jacó, que se uniu com ela.	23 And at night he brought in Lia his daughter to him,
24 E deu à sua filha Lia, sua escrava Zelfa.	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 Pela manhã, viu Jacó que tinha ficado com Lia. E disse a Labão: "Que me fizeste? Não foi por Raquel que te servi? Por que me enganaste?"	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 "Aqui, respondeu Labão, não é costume casar a mais nova antes da mais velha.	26 Laban answered: It is not the custom in this place, to give the younger in marriage first.
27 Acaba a semana com esta, e depois te darei também sua irmã, na condição que me sirvas ainda sete anos."	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 Assim fez Jacó: acabou a semana com Lia, e depois lhe deu Labão por mulher sua filha Raquel,	28 He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel:
29 dando por serva a Raquel sua escrava Bala.	29 To whom her father gave Bala for her servant.
30 Jacó uniu-se também a Raquel, a quem amou mais do que a Lia. E serviu ainda por sete anos em casa de Labão.	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 O Senhor, vendo que Lia era desprezada, tornou-a fecunda enquanto Raquel permanecia estéril.	31 And the Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.
32 Lia concebeu e deu à luz um filho, ao qual chamou Rubem, "porque, dizia ela, o Senhor olhou minha aflição; agora meu marido me amará".	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 Concebeu de novo e deu à luz outro filho. "O Senhor, disse ela, vendo que era desdenhada, deu-me ainda este." E pôs-lhe o nome de Simeão.	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 Concebeu ainda e deu à luz mais um filho. "Desta vez, disse ela, meu marido se apegará a mim, porque já lhe dei à luz três filhos." Por isso deu-lhe o nome de Levi.	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 Concebeu ainda e deu à luz um filho. E disse: "Desta vez, louvarei ao Senhor." E chamou-o Judá. Depois cessou de ter filhos.	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.
