1 Mojžišova 29
1 Tedy Jákob vstav, odšel do země východní.
Jacob continued on the road [MTY], and he arrived at the land that was east of Canaan.
2 A pohleděv, uzřel studnici v poli a tři stáda ovcí, ana se složila při ní; nebo z té studnice napájeli stáda; a kámen veliký byl navrchu studnice.
There he [was surprised to] see a well in a field, and three flocks of sheep were lying near the well. It was the well from which shepherds habitually got water for their sheep. There was a large stone covering the top of the well.
3 Shánívána pak tam bývala všecka stáda, a teprv odvalovali kámen ten od vrchu té studnice, a napájeli dobytky; potom zas přivalovali kámen na vrch studnice, na místo jeho.
When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would work together to roll the stone away from the top of the well and get water for the sheep. When they finished doing that, they would put the stone back in its place over the top of the well.
4 Tedy řekl jim Jákob: Bratří moji, odkud jste? Kteřížto odpověděli: Jsme z Cháran.
[On that day], Jacob asked the shepherds who were sitting there, “Where are you from?” They replied, “We are from Haran.”
5 I řekl jim: Znáte-li Lábana, syna Náchorova? A oni řekli: Známe.
He asked them, “Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?” They replied, “Yes, we know him.”
6 I dí opět k nim: Dobře-li se má? Odpověděli: Dobře, a aj, Ráchel dcera jeho tamto jde s dobytkem.
Jacob asked them, “Is Laban well?” They replied, “Yes, he is well. Look! Here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep!”
7 Tedy řekl: Však ještě daleko do večera, aniž ještě čas, aby dobytek byl sehnán; napojte stáda, a jděte, paste.
Jacob said, “Hey! The sun is still high in the sky. It is not time for the flocks to be gathered for nighttime. Give the sheep some water and then take them back to (graze/eat grass) in the pastures!”
8 A oni odpověděli: Nemůžeme, než až se všecka stáda seženou, a odvalen bude kámen od svrchku studnice, abychom napojili ovce.
They replied, “No, we cannot do that until all the flocks are gathered here and the stone is removed from the top of the well. After that, we will give water to the sheep.”
9 Když on ještě mluvil s nimi, přišla k tomu Ráchel s stádem otce svého; neb ona pásla stádo.
While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep. She was the one who took care of her father’s sheep.
10 Tedy Jákob uzřev Ráchel, dceru Lábana ujce svého, a stádo jeho, přistoupil a odvalil ten kámen od vrchu studnice, a napojil stádo Lábana ujce svého.
When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, who was his mother’s brother, [Jacob was so excited that] he went over and [by himself] rolled away the stone that covered the top of the well, and he got water for his uncle’s sheep.
11 A políbil Jákob Ráchel, a povýšiv hlasu svého, plakal.
Then Jacob kissed Rachel [on the cheek], and he cried loudly [because he was so happy].
12 Oznámil jí pak byl Jákob, že jest bratr otce jejího, a že jest syn Rebeky; a ona přiběhši, oznámila to otci svému.
Jacob told Rachel that he was one of her father’s relatives, the son of her aunt Rebekah. So she ran and told that to her father.
13 I stalo se, když Lában uslyšel pověst o Jákobovi, synu sestry své, že vyběhl proti němu, a objav ho, políbil, a uvedl do domu svého; on pak vypravoval Lábanovi o všech těch věcech.
As soon as Laban heard that Jacob, his sister’s son, was there, he ran to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him [on the cheek]. Then he brought him to his home, and Jacob told him all that had happened to him.
14 Jemužto odpověděl Lában: Jistě kost má a tělo mé jsi. I zůstal s ním přes celý měsíc.
Then Laban said to him, “Truly, you are part of my family!” After Jacob had stayed there and worked for Laban for a month,
15 Tedy řekl Lában Jákobovi: Zdali proto, že jsi bratr můj, darmo mi sloužiti budeš? Pověz mi, jaká má býti mzda tvá?
Laban said to him “(You should not work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine!/Why should you work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine?) [RHQ] Tell me how much you want me to pay you.”
16 (Měl pak Lában dvě dcery; jméno starší Lía, a jméno mladší Ráchel.
Well, Laban had two daughters. The older one was named Leah, and the younger one was named Rachel.
17 Než Lía měla oči mdlé, ale Ráchel byla pěkné postavy a krásné tváři.
Leah had pretty eyes, but Rachel had a very attractive figure and was beautiful.
18 I miloval Jákob Ráchel.) Řekl tedy: Buduť sloužiti sedm let za Ráchel, dceru tvou mladší.
Jacob (was in love with/wanted very much to be married to) Rachel, and he said, “I will work for you for seven years. That will be my payment for your letting me marry your younger daughter, Rachel.”
19 Odpověděl Lában: Lépeť jest, abych ji tobě dal, nežli bych ji dal muži jinému; zůstaniž se mnou.
Laban replied, “It is better for me to let you marry her than for her to marry some other man!”
20 Takž Jákob sloužil za Ráchel sedm let; a bylo před očima jeho jako něco málo dnů, proto že laskav byl na ni.
So Jacob worked for Laban for seven years to get Rachel, but to him it seemed like it was only a few days, because he loved her so much.
21 Potom řekl Jákob k Lábanovi: Dejž mi ženu mou; nebo vyplněni jsou dnové moji, abych všel k ní.
After the seven years were ended, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me marry Rachel now, because the time we agreed upon for me to work for you is ended, and I want to marry her. [EUP]”
22 Tedy sezval Lában všecky muže místa toho, a učinil hody.
So Laban gathered together all the people who lived in that area and made a feast.
23 U večer pak vzav Líu, dceru svou, uvedl ji k němu; a on všel k ní.
But that evening, instead of taking Rachel to Jacob, Laban took his older daughter, Leah, to him. But because it was already dark, he could not see that it was Leah and not Rachel, and he had sex [EUP] with her.
24 Dal také Lában Zelfu děvku svou Líe, dceři své, za služebnici.
(Laban had already given his slave girl Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her maid/servant.)
25 A když bylo ráno, poznal, že jest Lía. I řekl k Lábanovi: Což jsi mi to učinil? Zdaliž jsem za Ráchel nesloužil u tebe? Pročežs mne tedy oklamal?
The next morning, Jacob was shocked to see that it was Leah who was with him! So he went to Laban [and told him] very angrily, “(What you have done to me is disgusting!/What is this that you have done to me?) [RHQ] I worked for you to get Rachel, did I not? So why did you deceive me?”
26 Odpověděl Lában: Nebývá toho v kraji našem, aby vdávána byla mladší dříve, než prvorozená.
Laban replied, “In this land, it is not our custom to give a younger daughter to be married before we let someone marry our firstborn daughter.
27 Vyplň týden této; dámeť potom i tuto za službu, kterouž sloužiti budeš u mne ještě sedm let jiných.
After we finish this week of celebration, we will let you marry the younger one also. But in return, you must pay for Rachel by working for me for another seven years.”
28 I udělal tak Jákob, a vyplnil týden její. Potom dal mu Ráchel dceru svou za manželku.
So that is what Jacob did. After the week of celebration was ended, Laban gave him his daughter, Rachel, to be his wife.
29 Dal také Lában Ráchel, dceři své, Bálu, děvku svou za služebnici.
Laban gave his slave girl, Bilhah, to Rachel to be her maid/servant.
30 Tedy všel také k Ráchel, a miloval ji více než Líu; i sloužil u něho ještě sedm let jiných.
Jacob had sex [EUP] with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than he loved Leah. And Jacob worked for Laban for another seven years.
31 Vida pak Hospodin, že Lía nemá lásky, otevřel život její; a Ráchel nechal neplodné.
When Yahweh saw that Jacob did not love Leah [very much], he enabled her to become pregnant. But Rachel was not able to become pregnant.
32 Tedy počala Lía a porodila syna, a nazvala jméno jeho Ruben; nebo řekla: Jistě viděl Hospodin trápení mé; jižť nyní milovati mne bude muž můj.
Leah gave birth to a son, whom she named Reuben, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘Look, a son]!’ She said, “Yahweh has seen that I was miserable, and because of that he has given me a son. Now, surely my husband will love me for giving birth to a son for him.”
33 I počala opět a porodila syna, a řekla: Jistě uslyšel Hospodin, že jsem v nenávisti, protož dal mi i tohoto. A nazvala jméno jeho Simeon.
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “Because Yahweh has heard that my husband doesn’t love me, he has given me this son, too.” So she named him Simeon, [which means ‘someone who hears’].
34 A opět počala a porodila syna, a řekla: Již nyní připojí se ke mně muž můj, nebo jsem mu porodila tři syny. Z té příčiny nazváno jest jméno jeho Léví.
Later she became pregnant again, and gave birth to another son. She said, “Now, finally, my husband will hold me close to him.” So she named him Levi, [which means ‘hold close’].
35 I počala ještě a porodila syna, a řekla: Již nyní chváliti budu Hospodina. Pročež nazvala jméno jeho Juda; i přestala roditi.
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “(This time/Now) I will praise Yahweh.” So she called his name Judah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘praise’]. After that, she did not give birth to any more children [for several years].
