1 Mojžišova 30
1 Viduci pak Ráchel, že by nerodila Jákobovi, záviděla sestře své, a řekla Jákobovi: Dej mi syny; pakli nedáš, umru.
Rachel realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any children for Jacob. So she became jealous of her older sister, Leah, because Leah had given birth to four sons. She said to Jacob, “Enable me to become pregnant and give birth to children. If you do not do that, I [think I will]!”
2 Pročež rozhněval se velmi Jákob na Ráchel, a řekl: Zdali já jsem za Boha, kterýžť nedal plodu života?
Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “(I am not God!/Am I God?) [RHQ] He is the one who has prevented you from becoming pregnant!”
3 Řekla ona: Hle, děvka má Bála; vejdi k ní, aby rodila na kolena má, a budu míti já také syny z ní.
Then she said, “Look, here is my female slave, Bilhah. (Sleep with/Have sex with) [EUP] her, so that she may become pregnant and give birth to children for me. In that way it will be as though (I have children/her children are mine).”
4 I dala mu Bálu děvku svou za ženu; a všel k ní Jákob.
So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
5 Tedy počavši Bála, porodila Jákobovi syna.
She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
6 I řekla Ráchel: Soudil Bůh při mou, a uslyšel také hlas můj, a dal mi syna. Protož nazvala jméno jeho Dan.
Rachel said, “God has (vindicated me/judged my case and has decided that what I have done is right). He has also heard my requests and has given me a son.” So she named him Dan, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘he judged’].
7 Opět počavši Bála, děvka Ráchel, porodila syna druhého Jákobovi.
Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
8 I řekla Ráchel: Tuhé jsem odpory měla s sestrou svou, a všakť jsem přemohla. A nazvala jméno jeho Neftalím.
Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle to have children like my older sister, but truly I have a son.” So she named him Naphtali, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘struggle’].
9 Viduci pak Lía, že by přestala roditi, vzala Zelfu děvku svou, a dala ji Jákobovi za ženu.
When Leah realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any more children, she took her female slave, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob to be another wife for him.
10 A porodila Zelfa, děvka Líe, Jákobovi syna.
Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
11 Protož řekla Lía: Již přišel zástup. A nazvala jméno jeho Gád.
Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
12 Porodila také Zelfa děvka Líe syna druhého Jákobovi.
Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
13 A řekla Lía: To na mé štěstí; nebo šťastnou mne nazývati budou ženy. A nazvala jméno jeho Asser.
Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
14 Vyšel pak Ruben v čas žně pšeničné, a nalezl pěkná jablečka na poli, a přinesl je Líe matce své. I řekla Ráchel Líe: Dej mi, prosím, těch jableček syna svého.
When it was time to harvest wheat, Reuben went out into the fields and saw some (mandrakes/plants that women eat to help them to become pregnant). He brought some of them to his mother Leah. But Rachel saw them and said to Leah, “Please give me some of those plants that your son brought to you!”
15 Jížto ona odpověděla: Máloť se snad zdá, že jsi vzala muže mého; chceš také užívati jableček syna mého? I řekla Ráchel: Nechažť tedy spí s tebou této noci za jablečka syna tvého.
But Leah said to her, “No! (It was bad that you stole my husband!/Is it not bad enough that you stole my husband?) [RHQ] Now (are you going to take my son’s mandrake plants?/You want to take my son’s mandrake plants also, [so that you can become pregnant]!)” [RHQ] So Rachel said, “All right, Jacob can sleep with you tonight, if you give me some of your son’s mandrake plants.” [So Leah (agreed/gave her some)].
16 Když pak navracoval se Jákob s pole večer, vyšla Lía proti němu, a řekla: Ke mně vejdeš; nebo ze mzdy najala jsem tě za jablečka syna svého. I spal s ní té noci.
When Jacob returned from the wheat fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. She said, “You must sleep with me tonight, because I gave Rachel some of my son’s mandrakes [that enable women to become pregnant], to pay her for allowing us to do that.” So Jacob slept with her that night.
17 A uslyšel Bůh Líu; kterážto počala a porodila Jákobovi syna pátého.
God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
18 I řekla Lía: Dal mi Bůh mzdu mou, i potom, když jsem dala děvku svou muži svému. Pročež nazvala jméno jeho Izachar.
Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my slave to my husband to be another wife for him.” So she named him Issachar, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘reward’].
19 A počala opět Lía, a porodila šestého syna Jákobovi.
Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
20 I řekla Lía: Obdařil mne Bůh darem dobrým; již nyní bydliti bude se mnou muž můj, nebo porodila jsem mu šest synů. A nazvala jméno jeho Zabulon.
Leah said, “God has given me a precious gift. (This time/Now) my husband will honor/respect me, because I have given birth to six sons for him.” So she named him Zebulon, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘accepted gift’].
21 Potom porodila dceru; a nazvala jméno její Dína.
Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
22 A rozpomenuv se Bůh na Ráchel, uslyšel jí, a otevřel život její.
Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
23 Tedy počala a porodila syna, a řekla: Odjal Bůh pohanění mé.
She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, “God has caused that no longer will I be ashamed [for not having children].”
24 A nazvala jméno jeho Jozef, řkuci: Přidejž mi Hospodin syna jiného.
She named him Joseph, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘may he give another’] and she said, ‘want Yahweh to give me another son.’
25 Stalo se pak, když porodila Ráchel Jozefa, řekl Jákob Lábanovi: Propusť mne, ať odejdu na místo své a do země své.
After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Now allow me to quit working for you and let me return to my own land.
26 Dej mi ženy mé a dítky mé, za kteréž jsem sloužil tobě, ať odejdu; nebo ty znáš službu mou, kterouž jsem sloužil tobě.
You know the work that I have done for you [for a long time to get my wives]. So let me take my wives and my children, and leave.”
27 I řekl mu Lában: Jestliže nyní nalezl jsem milost před očima tvýma, zůstaň se mnou, nebo v skutku jsem poznal, že požehnal mi Hospodin pro tebe.
But Laban said to him, “If you are pleased with me, stay here, because I have found out by performing a magic ritual that Yahweh has blessed me because of what you have done for me.
28 Řekl také: Oznam mi ze jména mzdu svou a dámť ji.
Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”
29 Jemužto odpověděl: Ty víš, jak jsem sloužil tobě, a jaký byl dobytek tvůj při mně.
Jacob replied, “You know how I have worked for you, and you know that your livestock have increased greatly as I have taken care of them.
30 Nebo to málo, kteréž jsi měl přede mnou, zrostlo velmi, a požehnalť Hospodin, jakž jsem k tobě nohou vkročil. A nyní, kdy pak já své hospodářství opatrovati budu?
You had only a few animals before I came here. But now you have very many, and Yahweh has caused them to increase greatly in number wherever I have taken them. But now I need to start taking care of the needs of my own family.”
31 A řekl: Coť mám dáti? Odpověděl Jákob: Nedávej mi nic. Jestliže mi učiníš toto, zase pásti budu a ostříhati dobytka tvého:
Laban replied, “What do you want me to give you?” Jacob replied, “I do not want you to pay me anything. But if you will do this one thing for me, I will continue to take care of your flocks and protect them.
32 Projdu skrze všecka stáda tvá dnes, vyměšuje z nich každé dobytče peřesté a strakaté, a každé dobytče načernalé mezi ovcemi, a strakaté a peřesté mezi kozami; a takové budou mzda má.
Allow me to go and look at all of your flocks today and remove from them all the speckled sheep, all the spotted sheep, and every dark-colored lamb, all the goats that are speckled, and all the goats that are spotted, [and keep them for myself]. They will be my wages.
33 A osvědčena potom bude spravedlnost má před tebou, když přijde na mzdu mou: Cožkoli nebude peřestého, neb strakatého mezi kozami, a načernalého mezi ovcemi, za krádež bude mi to počteno.
In that way, in the future, you will be able to know whether I have been honest regarding what you have paid me. If any of my goats are neither speckled or spotted, or if any of my lambs are not dark-colored, you will know that I have stolen them from you.”
34 I řekl Lában: Hle, ó by tak bylo, jakž jsi mluvil.
Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
35 A odloučil toho dne kozly přepásané na nohách a strakaté, a všecky kozy peřesté a strakaté, všecko, na čemž byla místa bílá, všecko také načernalé mezi dobytkem, a dal v ruce synů svých.
But that same day Laban removed all the male goats that had black and white stripes on them or were spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled or spotted, all the goats that were partly white, and all the dark-colored lambs. He separated them and told his sons to take care of them.
36 Uložil pak mezi sebou a Jákobem místo vzdálí tří dní cesty; a Jákob pásl ostatek dobytka Lábanova.
Then he took these flocks and walked a distance of three days, in order that he could be that far from Jacob. Jacob continued to take care of the rest of Laban’s flocks.
37 Nabral pak sobě Jákob prutů topolových zelených, a lískových a kaštanových; a poobloupil s nich po místech kůru až do bělosti, kteráž byla na prutech.
Then Jacob cut some branches of (poplar, almond, and plane trees/three kinds of trees that had white wood). He peeled strips of bark from the branches, so that where the bark had been peeled off, the branches were light in color.
38 A nakladl těch prutů tak obloupených do žlábků a koryt, (v nichž bývá voda, k nimž přicházel dobytek, aby pil), proti dobytku, aby počínaly, když by přicházely píti.
Then he placed the peeled branches in the troughs where they put the water for the animals to drink, so that the branches would be in front of the flocks when they came to drink.
39 I počínaly ovce, hledíce na ty pruty, a rodily jehňata přepásaná na nohách, a peřestá i strakatá.
The animals also mated in front of the branches, and eventually they gave birth to animals that were speckled, or to animals that were spotted, or to animals that had black and white stripes on them.
40 Potom ta jehňata odloučil Jákob, a dobytek stáda Lábanova obrátil tváří k těm přepásaným na nohách, a ke všemu načernalému; a své stádo postavil obzvlášť, a neobrátil ho k stádu Lábanovu.
Furthermore, Jacob separated the female sheep in his flock from the other sheep and goats in Laban’s flock. And when his female sheep mated, he made them look toward the animals that belonged to Laban that had black and white stripes on them, and the dark-colored animals. He did that so that the female sheep would give birth to animals that were striped or dark-colored. By doing that, he made bigger flocks for himself, and he kept them separate from Laban’s flocks.
41 A bylo, že kdyžkoli silnější připouštíny bývaly, kladl Jákob ty pruty před oči ovcem do koryt, aby počínaly, hledíce na pruty.
In addition, whenever the stronger female sheep were ready to mate, Jacob put some of those peeled branches in the troughs in front of them, so that they would mate in front of the branches.
42 Když pak pozdní dobytek připouštín býval, nekladl jich; a tak býval pozdní Lábanův a ranný Jákobův.
But when weak animals were ready to mate, he did not put the branches in their troughs. So the weak ones became part of Laban’s flock, and the strong ones became part of Jacob’s flock.
43 Vzrostl tedy muž ten náramně velmi, a měl dobytka mnoho, děvek i služebníků, velbloudů i oslů.
As a result, Jacob became very rich. He owned many large flocks of sheep and goats, and many male and female slaves, and many camels and donkeys.
