¹ 雅各起行，到了东方人之地，

² 看见田间有一口井，有三群羊卧在井旁；因为人饮羊群都是用那井里的水。井口上的石头是大的。

³ 常有羊群在那里聚集，牧人把石头转离井口饮羊，随後又把石头放在井口的原处。

⁴ 雅各对牧人说：弟兄们，你们是那里来的？他们说：我们是哈兰来的。

⁵ 他问他们说：拿鹤的孙子拉班，你们认识麽？他们说：我们认识。

⁶ 雅各说：他平安麽？他们说：平安。看哪，他女儿拉结领着羊来了。

⁷ 雅各说：日头还高，不是羊群聚集的时候，你们不如饮羊，再去放一放。

⁸ 他们说：我们不能，必等羊群聚齐，人把石头转离井口才可饮羊。

⁹ 雅各正和他们说话的时候，拉结领着他父亲的羊来了，因为那些羊是他牧放的。

¹⁰ 雅各看见母舅拉班的女儿拉结和母舅拉班的羊群，就上前把石头转离井口，饮他母舅拉班的羊群。

¹¹ 雅各与拉结亲嘴，就放声而哭。

¹² 雅各告诉拉结，自己是他父亲的外甥，是利百加的儿子，拉结就跑去告诉他父亲。

¹³ 拉班听见外甥雅各的信息，就跑去迎接，抱着他，与他亲嘴，领他到自己的家。雅各将一切的情由告诉拉班。

¹⁴ 拉班对他说：你实在是我的骨肉。雅各就和他同住了一个月。

¹⁵ 拉班对雅各说：你虽是我的骨肉(原文作弟兄)，岂可白白地服事我？请告诉我，你要甚麽为工价？

¹⁶ 拉班有两个女儿，大的名叫利亚，小的名叫拉结。

¹⁷ 利亚的眼睛没有神气，拉结却生得美貌俊秀。

¹⁸ 雅各爱拉结，就说：我愿为你小女儿拉结服事你七年。

¹⁹ 拉班说：我把他给你，胜似给别人，你与我同住罢！

²⁰ 雅各就为拉结服事了七年；他因为深爱拉结，就看这七年如同几天。

²¹ 雅各对拉班说：日期已经满了，求你把我的妻子给我，我好与他同房。

²² 拉班就摆设筵席，请齐了那地方的众人。

²³ 到晚上，拉班将女儿利亚送来给雅各，雅各就与他同房。

²⁴ 拉班又将婢女悉帕给女儿利亚作使女。

²⁵ 到了早晨，雅各一看是利亚，就对拉班说：你向我做的是甚麽事呢？我服事你，不是为拉结麽？你为甚麽欺哄我呢？

²⁶ 拉班说：大女儿还没有给人，先把小女儿给人，在我们这地方没有这规矩。

²⁷ 你为这个满了七日，我就把那个也给你，你再为他服事我七年。

²⁸ 雅各就如此行。满了利亚的七日，拉班便将女儿拉结给雅各为妻。

²⁹ 拉班又将婢女辟拉给女儿拉结作使女。

³⁰ 雅各也与拉结同房，并且爱拉结胜似爱利亚，於是又服事了拉班七年。

³¹ 耶和华见利亚失宠(原文作被恨；下同)，就使他生育，拉结却不生育。

³² 利亚怀孕生子，就给他起名叫流便(就是有儿子的意思)，因而说：耶和华看见我的苦情，如今我的丈夫必爱我。

³³ 他又怀孕生子，就说：耶和华因为听见我失宠，所以又赐给我这个儿子，於是给他起名叫西缅(就是听见的意思)。

³⁴ 他又怀孕生子，起名叫利未(就是联合的意思)，说：我给丈夫生了三个儿子，他必与我联合。

³⁵ 他又怀孕生子，说：这回我要赞美耶和华，因此给他起名叫犹大(就是赞美的意思)。这才停了生育。

¹ It happened, when men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,

² that God's sons saw that men's daughters were beautiful, and they took for themselves wives of all that they chose.

³ Yahweh said, "My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty years."

⁴ The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God's sons came in to men's daughters. They bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

⁵ Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

⁶ Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

⁷ Yahweh said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground; man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."

⁸ But Noah found favor in Yahweh's eyes.

⁹ This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

¹⁰ Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹¹ The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

¹² God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

¹³ God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

¹⁴ Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.

¹⁵ This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship will be three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

¹⁶ You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.

¹⁷ I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.

¹⁸ But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

¹⁹ Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.

²⁰ Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.

²¹ Take with you of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them."

²² Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
