Postanak 29
1 Jakov nastavi put i dođe u zemlju istočnu.
And Jacob lifteth up his feet, and goeth towards the land of the sons of the east;
2 Najednom opazi studenac u polju. Tri su stada ovaca oko njega plandovala, jer se na tome studencu napajahu. Velik se kamen nalazio studencu na otvoru.
and he looketh, and lo, a well in the field, and lo, there three droves of a flock crouching by it, for from that well they water the droves, and the great stone [is] on the mouth of the well.
3 Jedino kad bi se svi pastiri ondje skupili, mogli bi odvaliti kamen s otvora i ovce napojiti; tada bi opet prevalili kamen na njegovo mjesto, na otvor studenca.
(When thither have all the droves been gathered, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.)
4 “Odakle ste, braćo moja?” - zapita ih Jakov. “Iz Harana”, odgovore.
And Jacob saith to them, 'My brethren, from whence [are] ye?' and they say, 'We [are] from Haran.'
5 “Poznajete li”, pitaše ih dalje, “Nahorova sina Labana?” “Poznajemo”, odgovore.
And he saith to them, 'Have ye known Laban, son of Nahor?' and they say, 'We have known.'
6 “Je li zdravo?” - opet ih upita. “Zdravo je; a evo mu dolazi kći Rahela sa stadom”, odgovore.
And he saith to them, 'Hath he peace?' and they say, 'Peace; and lo, Rachel his daughter is coming with the flock.'
7 “Još ima mnogo dana”, nastavi on, “nije vrijeme spraćati blago. Zašto ga ne napojite i ne otjerate na pašu?”
And he saith, 'Lo, the day [is] still great, [it is] not time for the cattle to be gathered; water ye the flock, and go, delight yourselves.'
8 “Ne možemo dok se ne skupe svi pastiri”, odgovoriše, “da odvale kamen s otvora studenca, tako da mognemo napojiti ovce.”
And they say, 'We are not able, till that all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.'
9 Dok je on još s njima govorio, dođe Rahela s ovcama svoga oca. Bila je, naime, pastirica.
He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel hath come with the flock which her father hath, for she [is] shepherdess;
10 Kako Jakov ugleda Rahelu, kćer Labana, brata svoje majke, sa stadom svoga ujaka Labana, Jakov se primače i odvali kamen s otvora studenca te napoji stado svoga ujaka Labana.
and it cometh to pass when Jacob hath seen Rachel, daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the flock of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob cometh nigh and rolleth the stone from off the mouth of the well, and watereth the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
11 Zatim Jakov poljubi Rahelu, a onda briznu u plač.
And Jacob kisseth Rachel, and lifteth up his voice, and weepeth,
12 Potom Jakov kaza Raheli da je on sestrić njezina oca, sin Rebekin. Nato ona otrča i obavijesti oca.
and Jacob declareth to Rachel that he [is] her father's brother, and that he [is] Rebekah's son, and she runneth and declareth to her father.
13 Kad je Laban čuo vijest o Jakovu, sinu svoje sestre, potrča mu u susret. Zagrli ga i poljubi te dovede u svoju kuću. Ispriča Labanu sve što mu se dogodilo.
And it cometh to pass, when Laban heareth the report of Jacob his sister's son, that he runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and kisseth him, and bringeth him in unto his house; and he recounteth to Laban all these things,
14 A onda Laban reče. “Zbilja si ti moja kost i moje meso!” Pošto je Jakov proboravio s Labanom mjesec dana,
and Laban saith to him, 'Only my bone and my flesh [art] thou;' and he dwelleth with him a month of days.
15 Laban reče Jakovu: “Zar ćeš me zato što si mi sestrić badava služiti! Kaži mi koliko ćeš tražiti za najam?”
And Laban saith to Jacob, 'Is it because thou [art] my brother that thou hast served me for nought? declare to me what [is] thy hire.'
16 A Laban imaše dvije kćeri. Starijoj bijaše ime Lea, a mlađoj Rahela.
And Laban hath two daughters, the name of the elder [is] Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel,
17 Lea imala slabe oči, a Rahela bila stasita i lijepa.
and the eyes of Leah [are] tender, and Rachel hath been fair of form and fair of appearance.
18 Kako je Jakov volio Rahelu, reče: “Služit ću ti sedam godina za tvoju mlađu kćer Rahelu.”
And Jacob loveth Rachel, and saith, 'I serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter:'
19 Laban odvrati: “Bolje je da je tebi dam nego kakvu strancu. Ostani sa mnom!”
and Laban saith, 'It is better for me to give her to thee than to give her to another man; dwell with me;'
20 Tako je Jakov služio za Rahelu sedam godina, ali mu se učinile, zbog ljubavi prema njoj, kao nekoliko dana.
and Jacob serveth for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her.
21 Poslije toga Jakov reče Labanu: “Daj mi moju ženu, jer se moje vrijeme navršilo pa bih htio k njoj.”
And Jacob saith unto Laban, 'Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in unto her;'
22 Laban sabra sav svijet onog mjesta i priredi gozbu.
and Laban gathereth all the men of the place, and maketh a banquet.
23 Ali navečer uzme svoju kćer Leu pa nju uvede k Jakovu, i on priđe k njoj.
And it cometh to pass in the evening, that he taketh Leah, his daughter, and bringeth her in unto him, and he goeth in unto her;
24 Laban dade svoju sluškinju Zilpu svojoj kćeri Lei za sluškinju.
and Laban giveth to her Zilpah, his maid-servant, to Leah his daughter, a maid-servant.
25 Kad bi ujutro, a to, gle, Lea! Tada Jakov reče Labanu: “Zašto si mi to učinio! Zar te ja nisam služio za Rahelu? Zašto si me prevario?”
And it cometh to pass in the morning, that lo, it [is] Leah; and he saith unto Laban, 'What [is] this thou hast done to me? for Rachel have I not served with thee? and why hast thou deceived me?'
26 Laban odgovori: “U našem mjestu nije običaj da se mlađa udaje prije starije.
And Laban saith, 'It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the first-born;
27 Završi s njom ovu ženidbenu sedmicu, a onda ću ti dati i drugu, za drugih sedam godina službe kod mene.” Jakov pristane: navrši onu ženidbenu sedmicu.
fulfil the week of this one, and we give to thee also this one, for the service which thou dost serve with me yet seven other years.'
28 Onda mu Laban dade i svoju kćer Rahelu za ženu.
And Jacob doth so, and fulfilleth the week of this one, and he giveth to him Rachel his daughter, to him for a wife;
29 Laban dade svoju sluškinju Bilhu svojoj kćeri Raheli za sluškinju.
and Laban giveth to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his maid-servant, for a maid-servant to her.
30 Jakov nato priđe Raheli. Rahelu je više volio nego Leu. I tako je služio Labana još sedam godina.
And he goeth in also unto Rachel, and he also loveth Rachel more than Leah; and he serveth with him yet seven other years.
31 Jahve je vidio da Lea nije voljena, te je učini plodnom, dok Rahela ostade nerotkinja.
And Jehovah seeth that Leah [is] the hated one, and He openeth her womb, and Rachel [is] barren;
32 Lea zače i rodi sina; nadjenu mu ime Ruben, a to znači, kako je ona protumačila: “Jahve je vidio moju nevolju i stoga će me sada muž moj ljubiti.”
and Leah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Reuben, for she said, 'Because Jehovah hath looked on mine affliction; because now doth my husband love me.'
33 Opet zače i rodi sina te izjavi: “Jahve je čuo da nisam voljena, stoga mi je dao i ovoga.” Zato mu nadjenu ime Šimun.
And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, 'Because Jehovah hath heard that I [am] the hated one, He also giveth to me even this [one];' and she calleth his name Simeon.
34 Opet zače i rodi sina te izjavi: “Sad će se moj muž meni prikloniti: tri sam mu sina rodila.” Zato mu nadjenu ime Levi.
And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, 'Now [is] the time, my husband is joined unto me, because I have born to him three sons,' therefore hath [one] called his name Levi.
35 A kad je još jednom začela i sina rodila, izjavi: “Ovaj put hvalit ću Jahvu.” Stoga sinu nadjenu ime Juda. Potom prestade rađati.
And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith this time, 'I praise Jehovah;' therefore hath she called his name Judah; and she ceaseth from bearing.
