Genesis 30
1 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing any children for Jacob, she envied her sister. “Give me children, or I will die!” she said to Jacob.
Vidjevši Rahela da Jakovu ne rađa djece, postade zavidna svojoj sestri pa reče Jakovu: “Daj mi djecu! Inače ću svisnuti!”
2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”
Jakov se razljuti na Rahelu te reče. “Zar sam ja namjesto Boga koji ti je uskratio plod utrobe?”
3 Then she said, “Here is my maidservant Bilhah. Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me, so that through her I too can build a family.”
A ona odgovori: “Evo moje sluškinje Bilhe: uđi k njoj, pa neka rodi na mojim koljenima, da tako i ja steknem djecu po njoj.”
4 So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,
Dade mu dakle svoju sluškinju Bilhu za ženu, i Jakov priđe k njoj.
5 and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.
Bilha zače te Jakovu rodi sina.
6 Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.
Tada Rahela reče: “Jahve mi je dosudio pravo. Uslišao je moj glas i dao mi sina.” Stoga mu nadjenu ime Dan.
7 And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
Rahelina sluškinja Bilha opet zače i rodi Jakovu drugoga sina.
8 Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.
Tada Rahela reče: “Žestoko sam se borila sa sestrom, ali sam pobijedila.” Tako mu nadjenu ime Naftali.
9 When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.
A vidjevši Lea da je prestala rađati, uzme svoju sluškinju Zilpu pa je dade Jakovu za ženu.
10 And Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
I kad je Leina sluškinja Zilpa rodila Jakovu sina,
11 Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
Lea uskliknu: “Koje sreće!” Tako mu nadjenu ime Gad.
12 When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,
Leina sluškinja Zilpa rodi Jakovu i drugog sina,
13 Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.
i Lea opet uskliknu: “Blago meni! Žene će me zvati blaženom!” Tako mu nadjenu ime Ašer.
14 Now during the wheat harvest, Reuben went out and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother, Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
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!”
15 But Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said Rachel, “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
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.”
16 When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.
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.
17 And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
Bog usliša Leu; ona zače te Jakovu rodi petog sina.
18 Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
Onda Lea reče: “Bog mi je uzvratio nagradom što sam ustupila svoju sluškinju svome mužu.” Stoga sinu nadjenu ime Jisakar.
19 Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Lea opet zače i rodi Jakovu šestoga sina.
20 “God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.
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.
21 After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
Zatim rodi kćer te joj nadjenu ime Dina.
22 Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,
Uto se Bog sjeti Rahele: Bog je usliša i otvori njezinu utrobu.
23 and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.
Ona zače i rodi sina te reče: “Ukloni Bog moju sramotu!”
24 She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”
Nadjene mu ime Josip, rekavši: “Neka mi Jahve pridoda drugog sina!”
25 Now after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.
Pošto je Rahela rodila Josipa, Jakov reče Labanu: “Pusti me da idem u svoj zavičaj!
26 Give me my wives and children for whom I have served you, that I may go on my way. You know how hard I have worked for you.”
Daj mi moje žene za koje sam te služio i moju djecu da mogu otići: tÓa dobro znaš kako sam te služio.”
27 But Laban replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.”
A Laban mu odgovori: “Ne idi, ako si mi prijatelj. Znam da me Jahve blagoslivljao zbog tebe.”
28 And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
I nadoda: “Odredi plaću koju želiš od mene, i dat ću ti.”
29 Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.
On mu odgovori: “Ti dobro znaš što je moja služba značila za te i kako je tvome blagu bilo sa mnom.
30 Indeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”
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.”
31 “What can I give you?” Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do this one thing for me, I will keep on shepherding and keeping your flocks.
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.
32 Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages.
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!
33 So my honesty will testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered stolen.”
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!”
34 “Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”
Laban reče: “Dobro, neka bude kako si kazao.”
35 That very day Laban removed all the streaked or spotted male goats and every speckled or spotted female goat—every one that had any white on it—and every dark-colored lamb, and he placed them under the care of his sons.
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.
36 Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.
I odande gdje je Jakov pasao ostatak Labanova stada udalji se za koja tri dana hoda.
37 Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.
A Jakov uzme zelenih mladica od topola, badema i platana; na njima izreza bijele pruge, otkrivši bjeliku na mladicama.
38 Then he set the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
Pruće tako isprugano postavi u korita, u pojila iz kojih se stoka napajala. A kako se stoka parila kad je na vodu dolazila,
39 they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.
to su se jarci parili uz pruće, pa su koze kozile prugaste, riđaste i šarene kozliće.
40 Jacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the streaked dark-colored sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with Laban’s animals.
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.
41 Whenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.
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.
42 But if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.
Ali ga pred kržljavu marvu nije stavljao. Tako je kržljava zapadala Labana, a dobro razvijena Jakova.
43 Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
Čovjek se tako silno obogatio, stekao mnogu stoku, sluge i sluškinje, deve i magarad.
