Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the sons of the east.
Un Jēkabs cēlās kājās un gāja uz to ļaužu zemi, kas pret rītiem,
2 And he looked, and, behold, a well in the field. And, lo, three flocks of sheep were lying there by it, for they watered the flocks out of that well. And the stone upon the well's mouth was great.
Un skatījās, un redzi, tur bija aka uz lauka. Un redzi, tur bija trīs avju pulki pie tās nometušies, jo no tās akas tās avis tapa dzirdinātas, un liels akmens bija uz akas cauruma.
3 And all the flocks were gathered there. And they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in its place.
Un turpat visi avju pulki tapa sadzīti, un tie novēla to akmeni no akas cauruma un dzirdīja tās avis un uzlika atkal to akmeni uz akas caurumu savā vietā.
4 And Jacob said to them, My brothers, where are ye from? And they said, We are of Haran.
Tad Jēkabs uz tiem sacīja: brāļi, no kurienes jūs esat? Un tie sacīja: mēs esam no Hāranas.
5 And he said to them, Do ye know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: vai jūs pazīstat Lābanu, Nahora dēlu? Un tie sacīja: pazīstam gan.
6 And he said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well. And, behold, Rachel his daughter comes with the sheep.
Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: vai tam labi klājās? Un tie atbildēja: labi gan; un redzi, Rahēle, viņa meita, te nāk ar avīm.
7 And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together. Water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
Un viņš sacīja: redzi, saule vēl ir gabalā, vēl nav laiks lopus pārdzīt, dzirdinājiet tās avis un ejat un paganiet tās.
8 And they said, We cannot until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep.
Tad tie sacīja: mēs nevaram, pirms visi avju pulki nav sadzīti; tad to akmeni noveļ no akas cauruma, un mēs dzirdinām tās avis.
9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.
Kad viņš vēl ar tiem runāja, tad nāca Rahēle ar avīm, kas viņas tēvam piederēja, jo viņa tās ganīja.
10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
Un kad Jēkabs ieraudzīja Rahēli, savas mātes brāļa Lābana meitu, un savas mātes brāļa Lābana avis, tad tas piegāja un novēla to akmeni no akas cauruma un dzirdīja savas mātes brāļa Lābana avis.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Un Jēkabs skūpstīja Rahēli un pacēla savu balsi un raudāja.
12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. And she ran and told her father.
Un Jēkabs sacīja Rahēlei, ka esot viņas tēva radinieks un Rebekas dēls, tad tā tecēja un to pasacīja savam tēvam.
13 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
Un kad Lābans dzirdēja to vēsti par Jēkabu, savas māsas dēlu, tad tas viņam tecēja pretī un viņu apkampa un skūpstīja un ieveda savā namā. Tad tas Lābanam teica visas šās lietas.
14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou are my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
Un Lābans uz viņu sacīja: tiešām, tu esi no maniem kauliem un no manas miesas; un viņš pie tā palika veselu mēnesi.
15 And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou are my brother, should thou therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall thy wages be?
Un Lābans sacīja uz Jēkabu: jebšu tu esi mans radinieks, vai tādēļ: tu man velti kalpotu? Saki man, kādu algu tu prasi?
16 And Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Un Lābanam bija divas meitas; tās vecākās vārds bija Lea un tās jaunākās vārds bija Rahēle.
17 And Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
Leas acis bija pavājas, bet Rahēle bija skaista no auguma un ģīmja.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel, and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
Un Jēkabs mīlēja Rahēli un sacīja: es tev gribu kalpot septiņus gadus par Rahēli, tavu jaunāko meitu.
19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man. Abide with me.
Tad Lābans sacīja: Labāki es to dodu tev, nekā citam vīram; paliec pie manis.
20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel. And they seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
Un Jēkabs kalpoja par Rahēli septiņus gadus; tās likās kādas dienas vien esam, tik mīļa tā viņam bija.
21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
Un Jēkabs sacīja uz Lābanu: dod man manu sievu, jo manas dienas ir pilnas, ka es pie tās eju.
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Tad Lābans sapulcēja visus tās vietas ļaudis un taisīja dzīres.
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. And he went in to her.
Un vakarā viņš ņēma savu meitu Leū un to ieveda pie viņa, un Jēkabs gāja pie tās.
24 And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.
Un Lābans deva savu kalponi Zilfu Leai, savai meitai, par kalponi.
25 And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou have done to me? Did I not serve with thee for Rachel? Why then have thou beguiled me?
Un notikās rītā, un redzi, tā bija Lea. Tad viņš sacīja uz Lābanu: kam tu man to esi darījis? Vai es neesmu tev kalpojis par Rahēli; kam tu mani esi pievīlis?
26 And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Tad Lābans sacīja: mūsu zemē nemēdz izdot jaunāko priekš pirmdzimtās.
27 Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shall serve with me yet seven other years.
Beidz to nedēļu ar šo, tad es arī viņu tev došu par to kalpošanu, ko tu vēl citus septiņus gadus pie manis kalposi.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. And he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife.
Un Jēkabs tā darīja un beidza to nedēļu ar šo; tad Lābans tam deva Rahēli, savu meitu, par sievu.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter, Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid.
Un Lābans deva savu kalponi Bilu Rahēlei par kalponi.
30 And he also went in to Rachel, and also he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
Un Jēkabs gāja arī pie Rahēles, un mīlēja Rahēli vairāk nekā Leū, un kalpoja pie Lābana vēl septiņus gadus.
31 And Jehovah saw that Leah was regarded inferior, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
Un Tas Kungs redzēja, ka Lea netapa cienīta; tad viņš to darīja auglīgu, bet Rahēle bija neauglīga.
32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben. For she said, Because Jehovah has looked upon my affliction, for now my husband will love me.
Un Lea tapa grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Rūbenu; jo tā sacīja: Tas Kungs manas bēdas ir redzējis, jo nu mans vīrs mani mīļos.
33 And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I am regarded inferior, he has therefore given me this son also. And she called his name Simeon.
Un tā tapa atkal grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un sacīja: Tas Kungs dzirdējis, mani esam necienītu, viņš man arī šo ir devis; un tā nosauca viņa vārdu Sīmeanu.
34 And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons. Therefore his name was called Levi.
Un tā tapa atkal grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un sacīja: nu jel mans vīrs mani mīlēs; jo es viņam esmu dzemdējusi trīs dēlus. Tādēļ tā nosauca viņa vārdu Levi.
35 And she conceived again, and bore a son. And she said, This time I will praise Jehovah. Therefore she called his name Judah. And she left off bearing.
Un viņa tapa atkal grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un sacīja: šo brīdi es slavēšu To Kungu. Tādēļ tā viņa vārdu nosauca Jūdu. Un tā mitējās dzemdēt.
