Genesis 29

Και εκινησεν ο Ιακωβ και υπηγεν εις την γην των κατοικων της ανατολης.

Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.

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.

And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.

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.

And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.

Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιακωβ, Αδελφοι, ποθεν εισθε; Οι δε ειπον, Εκ της Χαρραν ειμεθα.

And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.

Και ειπε προς αυτους, Γνωριζετε Λαβαν τον υιον του Ναχωρ; οι δε ειπον, Γνωριζομεν.

And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.

Και ειπε προς αυτους, Υγιαινει; Οι δε ειπον, Υγιαινει και ιδου, Ραχηλ η θυγατηρ αυτου ερχεται μετα των προβατων.

And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.

Και ειπεν, Ιδου, μενει ακομη ημερα πολλη, δεν ειναι ωρα να συρθωσι τα κτηνη ποτισατε τα προβατα και υπαγετε να βοσκησητε αυτα.

And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.

Οι δε ειπον, Δεν δυναμεθα, εωσου συναχθωσι παντα τα ποιμνια, και να αποκυλισωσι τον λιθον απο του στομιου του φρεατος τοτε ποτιζομεν τα προβατα.

And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.

Και ενω ακομη ελαλει προς αυτους, ηλθεν η Ραχηλ μετα των προβατων του πατρος αυτης διοτι αυτη εβοσκε.

And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.

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.

And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

Και εφιλησεν ο Ιακωβ την Ραχηλ και υψωσας την φωνην αυτου εκλαυσε.

And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

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.

And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.

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.

And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.

Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Λαβαν, Βεβαια οστουν μου και σαρξ μου εισαι. Και κατωκησε μετ αυτου ενα μηνα.

And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.

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;

And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?

Ειχε δε Λαβαν δυο θυγατερας το ονομα της πρεσβυτερας, Λεια, και το ονομα της μικροτερας Ραχηλ.

And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

Και της μεν Λειας οι οφθαλμοι ησαν ασθενεις η δε Ραχηλ ητο ευειδης και ωραια την οψιν.

Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.

Και ηγαπησεν ο Ιακωβ την Ραχηλ και ειπε, Θελω σε δουλευει επτα ετη δια την Ραχηλ, την θυγατερα σου την μικροτεραν.

And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

Και ειπεν ο Λαβαν, Καλητερα να δωσω αυτην εις σε, παρα να δωσω αυτην εις αλλον ανδρα κατοικησον μετ εμου.

And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.

Και εδουλευσεν ο Ιακωβ δια την Ραχηλ επτα ετη και εφαινοντο εις αυτον ως ημεραι ολιγαι, δια την προς αυτην αγαπην αυτου.

And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

Και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ προς τον Λαβαν, Δος μοι την γυναικα μου, διοτι επληρωθησαν αι ημεραι μου, δια να εισελθω προς αυτην.

And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.

Και συνηγαγεν ο Λαβαν παντας τους ανθρωπους του τοπου και εκαμε συμποσιον.

And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

Και το εσπερας, λαβων την Λειαν την θυγατερα αυτου, εφερεν αυτην προς αυτον και εισηλθε προς αυτην.

And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.

Και εδωκεν ο Λαβαν εις Λειαν την θυγατερα αυτου, δια θεραπαιναν αυτης, Ζελφαν την θεραπαιναν αυτου.

And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.

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;

And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?

Και ειπεν ο Λαβαν, Δεν γινεται ουτως εν τω τοπω ημων, να διδωται η μικροτερα προ της πρεσβυτερας

And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.

εκπληρωσον την εβδομαδα ταυτης, και θελω σοι δωσει και αυτην, αντι της εργασιας την οποιαν θελεις καμει εις εμε ακομη αλλα επτα ετη.

Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.

Και εκαμεν ο Ιακωβ ουτω και εξεπληρωσε την εβδομαδα αυτης και εδωκεν εις αυτον την Ραχηλ την θυγατερα αυτου εις γυναικα.

And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.

Και εδωκεν ο Λαβαν εις Ραχηλ την θυγατερα αυτου, δια θεραπαιναν αυτης, Βαλλαν την θεραπαιναν αυτου.

And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.

Και εισηλθεν ο Ιακωβ και προς την Ραχηλ και ηγαπησε την Ραχηλ περισσοτερον παρα την Λειαν και εδουλευσεν αυτον ακομη αλλα επτα ετη.

And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

Και ιδων ο Κυριος οτι εμισειτο η Λεια, ηνοιξε την μητραν αυτης η δε Ραχηλ ητο στειρα.

And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.

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.

And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.

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.

And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.

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.

And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.

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.

And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
