Postanak 30
1 Vidjevši Rahela da Jakovu ne rađa djece, postade zavidna svojoj sestri pa reče Jakovu: “Daj mi djecu! Inače ću svisnuti!”
When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I will die.”
2 Jakov se razljuti na Rahelu te reče. “Zar sam ja namjesto Boga koji ti je uskratio plod utrobe?”
Jacob's anger burned against Rachel. He said, “Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?”
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.”
She said, “See, there is my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her, so she might give birth to children on my knees, and I will have children by her.”
4 Dade mu dakle svoju sluškinju Bilhu za ženu, i Jakov priđe k njoj.
So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob slept with her.
5 Bilha zače te Jakovu rodi sina.
Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.
6 Tada Rahela reče: “Jahve mi je dosudio pravo. Uslišao je moj glas i dao mi sina.” Stoga mu nadjenu ime Dan.
Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me, and he has heard my voice and given me a son.” For this reason she called his name Dan.
7 Rahelina sluškinja Bilha opet zače i rodi Jakovu drugoga sina.
Bilhah, Rachel's servant, conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
8 Tada Rahela reče: “Žestoko sam se borila sa sestrom, ali sam pobijedila.” Tako mu nadjenu ime Naftali.
Rachel said, “With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister and have prevailed.” She called his name Naphtali.
9 A vidjevši Lea da je prestala rađati, uzme svoju sluškinju Zilpu pa je dade Jakovu za ženu.
When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
10 I kad je Leina sluškinja Zilpa rodila Jakovu sina,
Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore Jacob a son.
11 Lea uskliknu: “Koje sreće!” Tako mu nadjenu ime Gad.
Leah said, “This is fortunate!” so she called his name Gad.
12 Leina sluškinja Zilpa rodi Jakovu i drugog sina,
Then Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore Jacob a second son.
13 i Lea opet uskliknu: “Blago meni! Žene će me zvati blaženom!” Tako mu nadjenu ime Ašer.
Leah said, “I am happy! For the daughters will call me happy.” So she called his name Asher.
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!”
Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field. He brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Give me some of your 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.”
Leah said to her, “Is it a small matter to you, that you have taken away my husband? Do you now want to take away my son's mandrakes, too?” Rachel said, “Then he will sleep with you tonight, in exchange for your 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.
Jacob came from the field in the evening. Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must sleep with me tonight, for I have hired you with my son's mandrakes.” So Jacob slept with Leah that night.
17 Bog usliša Leu; ona zače te Jakovu rodi petog sina.
God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.
18 Onda Lea reče: “Bog mi je uzvratio nagradom što sam ustupila svoju sluškinju svome mužu.” Stoga sinu nadjenu ime Jisakar.
Leah said, “God has given me my wages, because I gave my servant woman to my husband.” She called his name Issachar.
19 Lea opet zače i rodi Jakovu šestoga sina.
Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
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.
Leah said, “God has given me a good gift. Now my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” She called his name Zebulun.
21 Zatim rodi kćer te joj nadjenu ime Dina.
Afterwards she bore a daughter and called her name Dinah.
22 Uto se Bog sjeti Rahele: Bog je usliša i otvori njezinu utrobu.
God called Rachel to mind and listened to her. He caused her to become pregnant.
23 Ona zače i rodi sina te reče: “Ukloni Bog moju sramotu!”
She conceived and bore a son. She said, “God has taken away my shame.”
24 Nadjene mu ime Josip, rekavši: “Neka mi Jahve pridoda drugog sina!”
She called his name Joseph, saying, “Yahweh has added to me another son.”
25 Pošto je Rahela rodila Josipa, Jakov reče Labanu: “Pusti me da idem u svoj zavičaj!
After Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, so that I may go to my own home and to my country.
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 you, and let me go, for you know the service I have given you.”
27 A Laban mu odgovori: “Ne idi, ako si mi prijatelj. Znam da me Jahve blagoslivljao zbog tebe.”
Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, wait, because I have learned by using divination that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake.”
28 I nadoda: “Odredi plaću koju želiš od mene, i dat ću ti.”
Then he said, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
29 On mu odgovori: “Ti dobro znaš što je moja služba značila za te i kako je tvome blagu bilo sa mnom.
Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
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.”
For you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I worked. Now when will I provide for my own household also?”
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.
So Laban said, “What will I pay you?” Jacob said, “You will not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
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!
Let me walk through all your flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted sheep, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. These will 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!”
My integrity will testify for me later on, when you come to check on my wages. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, if any are found with me, will be considered to be stolen.”
34 Laban reče: “Dobro, neka bude kako si kazao.”
Laban said, “Agreed. Let it be according to your word.”
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.
That day Laban removed the male goats that were striped and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
36 I odande gdje je Jakov pasao ostatak Labanova stada udalji se za koja tri dana hoda.
Laban also put three days' journey between himself and Jacob. So Jacob kept tending the rest of Laban's flocks.
37 A Jakov uzme zelenih mladica od topola, badema i platana; na njima izreza bijele pruge, otkrivši bjeliku na mladicama.
Jacob took fresh cut branches of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane tree, and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white inner wood appear that was in the sticks.
38 Pruće tako isprugano postavi u korita, u pojila iz kojih se stoka napajala. A kako se stoka parila kad je na vodu dolazila,
Then he set the sticks that he had peeled in front of the flocks, in front of the watering troughs where they came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
39 to su se jarci parili uz pruće, pa su koze kozile prugaste, riđaste i šarene kozliće.
The flocks bred in front of the sticks; and the flocks produced striped, speckled, and spotted young.
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.
Jacob separated out these lambs, but made the rest of them face toward the striped animals and all the black sheep in the flock of Laban. Then he separated out his flocks for himself alone and did not put them together with Laban's flocks.
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.
Whenever the stronger sheep in the flock were breeding, then Jacob would lay the sticks in the watering troughs before the eyes of the flock, so that they might conceive among the sticks.
42 Ali ga pred kržljavu marvu nije stavljao. Tako je kržljava zapadala Labana, a dobro razvijena Jakova.
But when the feebler animals in the flock came, he did not put the sticks in front of them. So the feebler animals were Laban's, and the stronger were Jacob's.
43 Čovjek se tako silno obogatio, stekao mnogu stoku, sluge i sluškinje, deve i magarad.
The man became very prosperous. He had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
