Postanak 30
1 Vidjevši Rahela da Jakovu ne rađa djece, postade zavidna svojoj sestri pa reče Jakovu: “Daj mi djecu! Inače ću svisnuti!”
And Rachel, seeing herself without children, envied her sister, and said to her husband: Give me children, otherwise I shall die.
2 Jakov se razljuti na Rahelu te reče. “Zar sam ja namjesto Boga koji ti je uskratio plod utrobe?”
And Jacob being angry with her, answered: Am I as God, who hath deprived thee of the fruit of thy womb?
3 A ona odgovori: “Evo moje sluškinje Bilhe: uđi k njoj, pa neka rodi na mojim koljenima, da tako i ja steknem djecu po njoj.”
But she said: I have here my servant Bala: go in unto her, that she may bear upon my knees, and I may have children by her.
4 Dade mu dakle svoju sluškinju Bilhu za ženu, i Jakov priđe k njoj.
And she gave him Bala in marriage: who,
5 Bilha zače te Jakovu rodi sina.
When her husband had gone in unto her, conceived and bore a son.
6 Tada Rahela reče: “Jahve mi je dosudio pravo. Uslišao je moj glas i dao mi sina.” Stoga mu nadjenu ime Dan.
And Rachel said: The Lord hath judged for me, and hath heard my voice, giving me a son, and therefore she called his name Dan.
7 Rahelina sluškinja Bilha opet zače i rodi Jakovu drugoga sina.
And again Bala conceived and bore another,
8 Tada Rahela reče: “Žestoko sam se borila sa sestrom, ali sam pobijedila.” Tako mu nadjenu ime Naftali.
For whom Rachel said: God hath compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called him Nephtali.
9 A vidjevši Lea da je prestala rađati, uzme svoju sluškinju Zilpu pa je dade Jakovu za ženu.
Lia, perceiving that she had left off bearing, gave Zelpha her handmaid to her husband.
10 I kad je Leina sluškinja Zilpa rodila Jakovu sina,
And when she had conceived and brought forth a son,
11 Lea uskliknu: “Koje sreće!” Tako mu nadjenu ime Gad.
She said: Happily. And therefore called his name Gad.
12 Leina sluškinja Zilpa rodi Jakovu i drugog sina,
Zelpha also bore another.
13 i Lea opet uskliknu: “Blago meni! Žene će me zvati blaženom!” Tako mu nadjenu ime Ašer.
And Lia said: This is for my happiness: for women will call me blessed. Therefore she called him Aser.
14 Jednoga dana, u vrijeme pšenične žetve, namjeri se Ruben u polju na ljubavčice te ih donese svojoj majci Lei. I Rahela reče Lei: “Daj mi od ljubavčica svoga sina!”
And Ruben, going out in the time of the wheat harvest into the field, found mandrakes: which he brought to his mother Lia. And Rachel said: Give me part of thy son’s mandrakes.
15 A Lea odgovori: “Zar ti nije dosta što si mi oduzela muža pa još hoćeš da od mene uzmeš i ljubavčice moga sina?” Rahela odgovori: “Pa dobro, neka s tobom noćas leži u zamjenu za ljubavčice tvog sina.”
She answered: Dost thou think it a small matter, that thou hast taken my husband from me, unless thou take also my son’s mandrakes? Rachel said: He shall sleep with thee this night, for thy son’s mandrakes.
16 Kad je Jakov navečer stigao iz polja, Lea mu iziđe u susret pa reče: “Treba da dođeš k meni, jer sam te unajmila za ljubavčice moga sina.” One je noći on s njom ležao.
And when Jacob returned at even from the field, Lia went out to meet him, and said: Thou shalt come in unto me, because I have hired thee for my son’s mandrakes. And he slept with her that night.
17 Bog usliša Leu; ona zače te Jakovu rodi petog sina.
And God heard her prayers: and she conceived and bore the fifth son,
18 Onda Lea reče: “Bog mi je uzvratio nagradom što sam ustupila svoju sluškinju svome mužu.” Stoga sinu nadjenu ime Jisakar.
And said: God hath given me a reward, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
19 Lea opet zače i rodi Jakovu šestoga sina.
And Lia conceived again, and bore the sixth son,
20 Onda Lea reče: “Bog me obdari dragocjenim darom; sada će mi moj muž dati darove: tÓa rodila sam mu šest sinova.” Tako mu nadjenu ime Zebulun.
And said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry: this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon.
21 Zatim rodi kćer te joj nadjenu ime Dina.
After whom she bore a daughter, named Dina.
22 Uto se Bog sjeti Rahele: Bog je usliša i otvori njezinu utrobu.
The Lord also remembering Rachel, heard her, and opened her womb.
23 Ona zače i rodi sina te reče: “Ukloni Bog moju sramotu!”
And she conceived, and bore a son, saying: God hath taken away my reproach.
24 Nadjene mu ime Josip, rekavši: “Neka mi Jahve pridoda drugog sina!”
And she called his name Joseph, saying: The Lord give me also another son.
25 Pošto je Rahela rodila Josipa, Jakov reče Labanu: “Pusti me da idem u svoj zavičaj!
And when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father in law: Send me away that I may return into my country, and to my land.
26 Daj mi moje žene za koje sam te služio i moju djecu da mogu otići: tÓa dobro znaš kako sam te služio.”
Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart: thou knowest the service that I have rendered thee.
27 A Laban mu odgovori: “Ne idi, ako si mi prijatelj. Znam da me Jahve blagoslivljao zbog tebe.”
Laban said to him: Let me find favour in thy sight: I have learned by experience, that God hath blessed me for thy sake.
28 I nadoda: “Odredi plaću koju želiš od mene, i dat ću ti.”
Appoint thy wages which I shall give thee.
29 On mu odgovori: “Ti dobro znaš što je moja služba značila za te i kako je tvome blagu bilo sa mnom.
But he answered: Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how great thy possession hath been in my hands.
30 Malenkost što si je imao prije nego sam ja došao povećala se vrlo mnogo, jer kuda god sam prolazio Jahve te blagoslivljao na mojim koracima. A sad je vrijeme da poradim i za svoj dom.”
Thou hadst but little before I came to thee, and now thou art become rich: and the Lord hath blessed thee at my coming. It is reasonable therefore that I should now provide also for my own house.
31 On upita: “Koliko da ti platim?” Jakov odgovori: “Nemoj mi platiti ništa! Ako mi učiniš ovo, opet ću na pašu goniti i čuvati tvoje stado.
And Laban said: What shall I give thee? But he said: I require nothing: but if thou wilt do what I demand, I will feed, and keep thy sheep again.
32 Daj da prođem danas kroz tvoje stado i od njega izlučim svaku garavu ovcu i svaku šarenu ili napruganu kozu! Neka to bude moja plaća!
Go round through all thy flocks, and separate all the sheep of divers colours, and speckled: and all that is brown and spotted, and of divers colours, as well among the sheep, as among the goats, shall be my wages.
33 A ubuduće kad budeš svojim očima provjeravao moju naplatu, moje će poštenje biti svjedok za mene: nađe li se među mojim kozama ijedna koja ne bude šarena ili naprugana, ili među ovcama koja ne bi bila garava, neka se smatra ukradenom!”
And my justice shall answer for me tomorrow before thee when the time of the bargain shall come: and all that is not of divers colours, and spotted, and brown, as well among the sheep as among the goats, shall accuse me of theft.
34 Laban reče: “Dobro, neka bude kako si kazao.”
And Laban said: I like well what thou demandest.
35 Ali toga dana Laban izluči naprugane i šarene jarce i sve riđaste i šarene koze - svaku koja je na sebi imala bijelo - i sve garave ovce pa ih preda svojim sinovima.
And he separated the same day the she goats, and the sheep, and the he goats, and the rams of divers colours, and spotted: and all the flock of one colour, that is, of white and black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons.
36 I odande gdje je Jakov pasao ostatak Labanova stada udalji se za koja tri dana hoda.
And he set the space of three days’ journey betwixt himself and his son in law, who fed the rest of his flock.
37 A Jakov uzme zelenih mladica od topola, badema i platana; na njima izreza bijele pruge, otkrivši bjeliku na mladicama.
And Jacob took green rods of poplar, and of almond, and of plane trees, and pilled them in part: so when the bark was taken off, in the parts that were pilled, there appeared whiteness: but the parts that were whole remained green: and by this means the colour was divers.
38 Pruće tako isprugano postavi u korita, u pojila iz kojih se stoka napajala. A kako se stoka parila kad je na vodu dolazila,
And he put them in the troughs, where the water was poured out: that when the flocks should come to drink, they might have the rods before their eyes, and in the sight of them might conceive.
39 to su se jarci parili uz pruće, pa su koze kozile prugaste, riđaste i šarene kozliće.
And it came to pass that in the very heat of coition, the sheep beheld the rods, and brought forth spotted, and of divers colours, and speckled.
40 Tako je i ovce Jakov bio izlučio i glave im okrenuo prema prugastima ili posve garavima što su bile u Labanovu stadu. Tako je za se namicao posebna stada koja nije miješao s Labanovim stadima.
And Jacob separated the flock, and put the rods in the troughs before the eyes of the rams: and all the white and the black were Laban’s: and the rest were Jacob’s, when the flocks were separated one from the other.
41 Osim toga, kad bi se god dobro uzrasla stoka parila, Jakov bi stavio pruće u korita, baš pred oči živine, tako da se pari pred prućem.
So when the ewes went first to ram, Jacob put the rods in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams, and of the ewes, that they might conceive while they were looking upon them:
42 Ali ga pred kržljavu marvu nije stavljao. Tako je kržljava zapadala Labana, a dobro razvijena Jakova.
But when the latter coming was, and the last conceiving, he did not put them. And those that were lateward, became Laban’s: and they of the first time, Jacob’s.
43 Čovjek se tako silno obogatio, stekao mnogu stoku, sluge i sluškinje, deve i magarad.
And the man was enriched exceedingly, and he had many flocks, maid servants and men servants, camels and asses.
