29:1 雅各往前行，到了东方人之地，
Then Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the children of the east.
29:2 看见田间有一口井，有三群羊卧在井旁；因为人都是用那井里的水给羊群喝。井口上的石头很大。
And he looked, and there in the field was a well, and there three flocks of sheep were lying beside it; for from that well they watered the flocks. And the stone on the mouth of the well was large.
29:3 当所有的羊群在那里聚齐了，人就把石头转离井口，给羊喝水，随后又把石头放回井口原处。
And when all the flocks would gather there, they would roll the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep; then they would put the stone back on the mouth of the well in its place.
29:4 雅各对他们说，弟兄们，你们是那里来的？他们说，我们是哈兰来的。
And Jacob said to them, My brothers, where are you from? And they said, We are from Haran.
29:5 他问他们说，拿鹤的孙子拉班，你们认识么？他们说，我们认识。
And he said to them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We do know him.
29:6 雅各说，他平安么？他们说，平安。看哪，他女儿拉结领着羊来了。
And he said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well, and here is his daughter Rachel coming with the sheep.
29:7 雅各说，你们看，日头还高，不是聚集牲口的时候，你们不如给羊喝了水，再去牧放。
And he said, Look, it is still full day; and it is not time for the livestock to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go feed them.
29:8 他们说，我们不能，必须等羊群都聚齐，人把石头转离井口，那时才可给羊喝水。
And they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep.
29:9 雅各正和他们说话的时候，拉结领着她父亲的羊来了，因为那些羊是她牧放的。
While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with the sheep which belonged to her father, for she was a shepherdess.
29:10 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，给他母舅拉班的羊群喝水。
Now when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob drew near and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
29:11 雅各与拉结亲嘴，就放声而哭。
Then Jacob kissed Rachel and lifted up his voice and wept.
29:12 雅各告诉拉结，自己是她父亲的外甥，是利百加的儿子；拉结就跑去告诉她父亲。
And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's relative and that he was Rebekah's son. And she ran and told her father.
29:13 拉班听见外甥雅各的消息，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了拉班。
And when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him. And he embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Then Jacob related to Laban all these things.
29:14 拉班对他说，你实在是我的骨肉。雅各就和他同住了一个月。
And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And he stayed with him a month.
