Genesis 29
1 And so Jacob, setting out, arrived in the eastern land.
Tedy Jákob vstav, odšel do země východní.
2 And he saw a well in a field, and also three flocks of sheep reclining near it. For the animals were watered from it, and its mouth was closed with a great stone.
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.
3 And the custom was, when all the sheep were gathered together, to roll away the stone. And when the flocks had been refreshed, they placed it over the mouth of the well again.
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.
4 And he said to the shepherds, “Brothers, where are you from?” And they answered. “From Haran.”
Tedy řekl jim Jákob: Bratří moji, odkud jste? Kteřížto odpověděli: Jsme z Cháran.
5 And questioning them, he said, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
I řekl jim: Znáte-li Lábana, syna Náchorova? A oni řekli: Známe.
6 He said, “Is he well?” “He is very well,” they said. “And behold, his daughter Rachel approaches with his flock.”
I dí opět k nim: Dobře-li se má? Odpověděli: Dobře, a aj, Ráchel dcera jeho tamto jde s dobytkem.
7 And Jacob said, “There is still much daylight remaining, and it is not time to return the flocks to the sheepfold. Give the sheep to drink first, and then lead them back to pasture.”
Tedy řekl: Však ještě daleko do večera, aniž ještě čas, aby dobytek byl sehnán; napojte stáda, a jděte, paste.
8 They responded, “We cannot, until all the animals are gathered together and we remove the stone from the mouth of the well, so that we may water the flocks.”
A oni odpověděli: Nemůžeme, než až se všecka stáda seženou, a odvalen bude kámen od svrchku studnice, abychom napojili ovce.
9 They were still speaking, and behold, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep; for she pastured the flock.
Když on ještě mluvil s nimi, přišla k tomu Ráchel s stádem otce svého; neb ona pásla stádo.
10 When Jacob had seen her, and he realized that she was his maternal first cousin, and that these were the sheep of his uncle Laban, he removed the stone which closed the well.
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.
11 And having watered the flock, he kissed her. And lifting up his voice, he wept.
A políbil Jákob Ráchel, a povýšiv hlasu svého, plakal.
12 And he revealed to her that he was a brother of her father, and the son of Rebekah. And so, hurrying, she announced it to her father.
Oznámil jí pak byl Jákob, že jest bratr otce jejího, a že jest syn Rebeky; a ona přiběhši, oznámila to otci svému.
13 And when he had heard that Jacob, his sister’s son, had arrived, he ran to meet him. And embracing him, and kissing him heartily, he brought him into his house. But when he had heard the reasons for his journey,
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.
14 he responded, “You are my bone and my flesh.” And after the days of one month were completed,
Jemužto odpověděl Lában: Jistě kost má a tělo mé jsi. I zůstal s ním přes celý měsíc.
15 he said to him: “Though you are my brother, will you serve me for nothing? Tell me what wages you would accept.”
Tedy řekl Lában Jákobovi: Zdali proto, že jsi bratr můj, darmo mi sloužiti budeš? Pověz mi, jaká má býti mzda tvá?
16 In truth, he had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah; and truly the younger was called Rachel.
(Měl pak Lában dvě dcery; jméno starší Lía, a jméno mladší Ráchel.
17 But while Leah was bleary-eyed, Rachel had an elegant appearance and was attractive to behold.
Než Lía měla oči mdlé, ale Ráchel byla pěkné postavy a krásné tváři.
18 And Jacob, loving her, said, “I will serve you for seven years, for your younger daughter Rachel.”
I miloval Jákob Ráchel.) Řekl tedy: Buduť sloužiti sedm let za Ráchel, dceru tvou mladší.
19 Laban responded, “It is better that I give her to you than to another man; remain with me.”
Odpověděl Lában: Lépeť jest, abych ji tobě dal, nežli bych ji dal muži jinému; zůstaniž se mnou.
20 Therefore, Jacob served for seven years for Rachel. And these seemed like only a few days, because of the greatness of love.
Takž Jákob sloužil za Ráchel sedm let; a bylo před očima jeho jako něco málo dnů, proto že laskav byl na ni.
21 And he said to Laban, “Give my wife to me. For now the time has been fulfilled, so that I may go in to her.”
Potom řekl Jákob k Lábanovi: Dejž mi ženu mou; nebo vyplněni jsou dnové moji, abych všel k ní.
22 And he, having called a great crowd of his friends to the feast, agreed to the marriage.
Tedy sezval Lában všecky muže místa toho, a učinil hody.
23 And at night, he brought in his daughter Leah to him,
U večer pak vzav Líu, dceru svou, uvedl ji k němu; a on všel k ní.
24 giving his daughter a handmaid named Zilpah. After Jacob had gone in to her, according to custom, when morning had arrived, he saw Leah.
Dal také Lában Zelfu děvku svou Líe, dceři své, za služebnici.
25 And he said to his father-in-law, “What is it that you intended to do? Did I not serve you for Rachel? Why have you deceived me?”
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?
26 Laban responded, “It is not the practice in this place to give the younger in marriage first.
Odpověděl Lában: Nebývá toho v kraji našem, aby vdávána byla mladší dříve, než prvorozená.
27 Complete a week of days with this mating. And then I will give this one to you also, for the service that you will provide to me for another seven years.”
Vyplň týden této; dámeť potom i tuto za službu, kterouž sloužiti budeš u mne ještě sedm let jiných.
28 He agreed to his pleading. And after the week had passed, he took Rachel as a wife.
I udělal tak Jákob, a vyplnil týden její. Potom dal mu Ráchel dceru svou za manželku.
29 To her, the father had given Bilhah as her servant.
Dal také Lában Ráchel, dceři své, Bálu, děvku svou za služebnici.
30 And, having at last obtained the marriage he desired, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and he served with him another seven years.
Tedy všel také k Ráchel, a miloval ji více než Líu; i sloužil u něho ještě sedm let jiných.
31 But the Lord, seeing that he despised Leah, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.
Vida pak Hospodin, že Lía nemá lásky, otevřel život její; a Ráchel nechal neplodné.
32 Having conceived, she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Reuben, saying: “The Lord saw my humiliation; now my husband will love me.”
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.
33 And again she conceived and bore a son, and she said, “Because the Lord heard that I was treated with contempt, he has also given this one to me.” And she called his name Simeon.
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.
34 And she conceived a third time, and she gave birth to another son, and she said: “Now likewise my husband will unite with me, because I have borne him three sons.” And because of this, she called his name Levi.
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.
35 A fourth time she conceived and bore a son, and she said, “Only now will I confess to the Lord.” And for this reason, she called him Judah. And she ceased from child-bearing.
I počala ještě a porodila syna, a řekla: Již nyní chváliti budu Hospodina. Pročež nazvala jméno jeho Juda; i přestala roditi.
