< Genesis 30 >

1 Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.
Ko je Rahela videla, da Jakobu ne rojeva otrok, je Rahela zavidala svoji sestri in Jakobu rekla: »Daj mi otroke, sicer umrem.«
2 But Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said, Am I in the place of God, who has kept your body from having fruit?
Jakobova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Rahelo in rekel je: » Sem jaz namesto Boga, ki je pred teboj zadržal sad tvoje maternice?«
3 Then she said, Here is my servant Bilhah, go in to her, so that she may have a child on my knees, and I may have a family by her.
Rekla je: »Glej, moja služabnica Bilha, pojdi noter vanjo in rodila bo na mojih kolenih, da bom po njej tudi jaz lahko imela otroke.«
4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.
In dala mu je za ženo Bilho, svojo pomočnico, in Jakob je šel noter k njej.
5 And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son.
Bilha je spočela in Jakobu rodila sina.
6 Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named Dan.
Rahela je rekla: »Bog me je sodil in je tudi slišal moj glas in mi dal sina, « zato je njegovo ime imenovala Dan.
7 And again Bilhah, Rachel's servant, was with child, and gave birth to a second son.
Rahelina služabnica Bilha je ponovno spočela in Jakobu rodila drugega sina.
8 And Rachel said, I have had a great fight with my sister, and I have overcome her: and she gave the child the name Naphtali.
Rahela je rekla: »Z velikimi boji sem se bojevala s svojo sestro in sem prevladala, « in njegovo ime je imenovala Neftáli.
9 When it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, to Jacob as a wife.
Ko je Lea videla, da je prenehala rojevati, je vzela svojo služabnico Zilpo in jo dala Jakobu za ženo.
10 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son.
Leina služabnica Zilpa je Jakobu rodila sina.
11 And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad.
Lea je rekla: »Prihaja krdelo, « in njegovo ime je imenovala Gad.
12 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a second son.
Leina služabnica Zilpa je Jakobu rodila drugega sina.
13 And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name Asher.
Lea je rekla: »Srečna sem, kajti hčere me bodo imenovale blagoslovljena, « in njegovo ime je imenovala Aser.
14 Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.
Ruben je šel v dneh pšenične žetve in na polju našel nadliščke in jih prinesel svoji materi Lei. Potem je Rahela rekla Lei: »Daj mi, prosim te, nadliščke svojega sina.«
15 But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.
Ta pa ji je rekla: » Je to majhna zadeva, da si mi vzela soproga? In hočeš mi vzeti tudi nadliščke mojega sina?« Rahela je rekla: »Zato bo to noč ležal s teboj za nadliščke tvojega sina.«
16 In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night.
Jakob je zvečer prišel iz polja in Lea je odšla ven, da ga sreča ter mu rekla: »Moraš priti noter k meni, kajti zagotovo sem te najela z nadliščki svojega sina.« In to noč je ležal z njo.
17 And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son.
Bog je prisluhnil Lei in je spočela in Jakobu rodila petega sina.
18 Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar.
Lea je rekla: »Bog mi je dal najemnino, ker sem svojo deklo dala svojemu soprogu, « in njegovo ime je imenovala Isahár.
19 And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son.
Lea je ponovno spočela in Jakobu rodila šestega sina.
20 And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun.
Lea je rekla: »Bog me je opremil z dobro doto. Sedaj bo moj soprog prebival z menoj, ker sem mu rodila šest sinov« in njegovo ime je imenovala Zábulon.
21 After that she had a daughter, to whom she gave the name Dinah.
Potem je rodila hčer in njeno ime je imenovala Dina.
22 Then God gave thought to Rachel, and hearing her prayer he made her fertile.
Bog pa se je spomnil Rahele in Bog ji je prisluhnil ter odprl njeno maternico.
23 And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame.
Spočela je in rodila sina in rekla: »Bog je odvzel mojo grajo, «
24 And she gave him the name Joseph, saying, May the Lord give me another son.
in njegovo ime je imenovala Jožef; in rekla: » Gospod mi bo dodal [še] drugega sina.«
25 Now after the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Let me go away to my place and my country.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Rahela rodila Jožefa, da je Jakob rekel Labánu: »Pošlji me proč, da lahko grem na svoj lasten kraj in v svojo deželo.
26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done for you.
Daj mi moje žene in moje otroke, za katere sem ti služil in me pusti iti, kajti poznaš mojo službo, ki sem ti jo opravljal.«
27 And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to me because of you.
Labán mu je rekel: »Prosim te, če sem v tvojih očeh našel naklonjenost, ostani, kajti iz izkušnje sem se naučil, da me je Gospod zaradi tebe blagoslovil.«
28 Say then what your payment is to be and I will give it.
In rekel je: »Določi mi svoja plačila in dal ti jih bom.«
29 Then Jacob said, You have seen what I have done for you, and how your cattle have done well under my care.
Rekel mu je: »Ti veš kako sem ti služil in kako je bila tvoja živina z menoj.
30 For before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family?
Kajti bilo je malo, kar si imel, preden sem prišel in to je sedaj naraslo v množico in Gospod te je od mojega prihoda blagoslavljal. Kdaj bom torej poskrbel tudi za svojo lastno hišo?«
31 And Laban said, What am I to give you? And Jacob said, Do not give me anything; but I will again take up the care of your flock if you will only do this for me:
In rekel je: »Kaj naj ti dam?« Jakob je rekel: »Nobene stvari mi ne boš dal. Če hočeš zame storiti to stvar, bom ponovno pasel in varoval tvoj trop.
32 Let me go through all your flock today, taking out from among them all the sheep which are marked or coloured or black, and all the marked or coloured goats: these will be my payment.
Danes pojdem skozi ves tvoj trop in iz njega odstranim vso lisasto in pikasto živino in vso rjavo živino med ovcami in pikasto ter lisasto med kozami. Od teh bo moja najemnina.
33 And so you will be able to put my honour to the test in time to come; if you see among my flocks any goats which are not marked or coloured, or any sheep which is not black, you may take me for a thief.
Tako bo moja pravičnost odgovarjala zame v času, ki pride, ko bo prišel, za moj najem pred tvojim obrazom. Vse, kar ni lisasto in pikasto med kozami in rjavo med ovcami, to bo pri meni šteto za ukradeno.«
34 And Laban said, Let it be as you say.
Labán je rekel: »Glej, hočem, da bi bilo glede na tvojo besedo.«
35 So that day he took all the he-goats which were banded or coloured, and all the she-goats which were marked or coloured or had white marks, and all the black sheep, and gave them into the care of his sons;
In ta dan je odstranil kozle, ki so bili krožno progasti in pikasti in vse koze, ki so bile lisaste in pikaste in vsako, ki je imela na sebi nekaj belega in vse rjavo med ovcami in jih dal v roko svojih sinov.
36 And sent them three days' journey away: and Jacob took care of the rest of Laban's flock.
Med seboj in Jakobom je določil tri dni potovanja in Jakob je hranil preostanek Labánovih tropov.
37 Then Jacob took young branches of trees, cutting off the skin so that the white wood was seen in bands.
Jakob si je vzel šibe zelenega topola in od leskovega in kostanjevega drevesa in na njih olupil bele proge in storil, da se prikaže belina, ki je bila na šibah.
38 And he put the banded sticks in the drinking-places where the flock came to get water; and they became with young when they came to the water.
Palice, ki jih je olupil, je postavljal pred trope v žlebove, v napajalna korita, ko so tropi prišli, da pijejo, da bi se obrejili, ko so prišli pit.
39 And because of this, the flock gave birth to young which were marked with bands of colour.
Tropi so se obrejili pred palicami in skotili krožno progasto, lisasto in pikasto živino.
40 These lambs Jacob kept separate; and he put his flock in a place by themselves and not with Laban's flock.
Jakob je v Labánovem tropu ločeval jagnjeta in postavljal obraze tropov h krožno progastemu in vsemu rjavemu. Svoje lastne trope pa je spravljal posebej in jih ni spravljal v Labánovo živino.
41 And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks.
Pripetilo se je, da kadarkoli se je brejila močnejša živina, je Jakob polagal šibe pred očmi živine v žlebove, da bi se lahko obrejile med palicami.
42 But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban's and the stronger were Jacob's.
Toda ko je bila živina slabotna, jih ni polagal. Tako je bila slabotnejša živina Labánova, močnejša pa Jakobova.
43 So Jacob's wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-servants and men-servants and camels and asses.
Mož je silno narasel in imel mnogo živine, dekel, slug, kamel in oslov.
