Genesis 30
1 Then Rachel, discerning that she was infertile, envied her sister, and so she said to her husband, “Give me children, otherwise I will die.”
Vidjevši Rahela da Jakovu ne rađa djece, postade zavidna svojoj sestri pa reče Jakovu: “Daj mi djecu! Inače ću svisnuti!”
2 Jacob, being angry, responded to her, “Am I in the place of God, who has deprived you of the fruit of your womb?”
Jakov se razljuti na Rahelu te reče. “Zar sam ja namjesto Boga koji ti je uskratio plod utrobe?”
3 But she said: “I have a handmaid Bilhah. Go in to her, so that she may give birth upon my knees, and I may have sons by her.”
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 And she gave him Bilhah in marriage.
Dade mu dakle svoju sluškinju Bilhu za ženu, i Jakov priđe k njoj.
5 And when her husband had gone in to her, she conceived and bore a son.
Bilha zače te Jakovu rodi sina.
6 And Rachel said, “The Lord has judged for me, and he has heeded my voice, giving me a son.” And because of this, she called his name Dan.
Tada Rahela reče: “Jahve mi je dosudio pravo. Uslišao je moj glas i dao mi sina.” Stoga mu nadjenu ime Dan.
7 And conceiving again, Bilhah bore another,
Rahelina sluškinja Bilha opet zače i rodi Jakovu drugoga sina.
8 about whom Rachel said, “God has compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed.” And she called him Naphtali.
Tada Rahela reče: “Žestoko sam se borila sa sestrom, ali sam pobijedila.” Tako mu nadjenu ime Naftali.
9 Leah, perceiving that she had desisted from child-bearing, delivered Zilpah, her handmaid, to her husband.
A vidjevši Lea da je prestala rađati, uzme svoju sluškinju Zilpu pa je dade Jakovu za ženu.
10 And she, after having borne a son with difficulty,
I kad je Leina sluškinja Zilpa rodila Jakovu sina,
11 said: “Happiness!” And for this reason, she called his name Gad.
Lea uskliknu: “Koje sreće!” Tako mu nadjenu ime Gad.
12 Likewise, Zilpah bore another.
Leina sluškinja Zilpa rodi Jakovu i drugog sina,
13 And Leah said, “This one is for my happiness. Indeed, women will call me blessed.” Because of this, she called him Asher.
i Lea opet uskliknu: “Blago meni! Žene će me zvati blaženom!” Tako mu nadjenu ime Ašer.
14 Then Reuben, going out into the field at the time of the wheat harvest, found mandrakes. These he brought to his mother Leah. And Rachel said, “Give me a portion 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 She responded, “Does it seem like such a small matter to you, that you have usurped from me my husband, unless you will also take my son’s mandrakes?” Rachel said, “He will sleep with you this night because of 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 And when Jacob returned from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and she said, “You will enter to me, because I have hired you for the reward of my son’s mandrakes.” And 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 heard her prayers. And she conceived and bore a fifth son.
Bog usliša Leu; ona zače te Jakovu rodi petog sina.
18 And she said, “God has given a reward to me, because I gave my handmaid to my husband.” And she called his name Issachar.
Onda Lea reče: “Bog mi je uzvratio nagradom što sam ustupila svoju sluškinju svome mužu.” Stoga sinu nadjenu ime Jisakar.
19 Conceiving again, Leah bore a sixth son.
Lea opet zače i rodi Jakovu šestoga sina.
20 And she said: “God has endowed me with a good dowry. And now, at this turn, my husband will be with me, because I have conceived six sons for him.” And therefore she called his name 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 him, she bore a daughter, named Dinah.
Zatim rodi kćer te joj nadjenu ime Dina.
22 The Lord, likewise remembering Rachel, heeded her and opened her womb.
Uto se Bog sjeti Rahele: Bog je usliša i otvori njezinu utrobu.
23 And she conceived and bore a son, saying, “God has taken away my reproach.”
Ona zače i rodi sina te reče: “Ukloni Bog moju sramotu!”
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying, “The Lord has added to me another son.”
Nadjene mu ime Josip, rekavši: “Neka mi Jahve pridoda drugog sina!”
25 But when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father-in-law: “Release me, so that I may return to my native country and to my land.
Pošto je Rahela rodila Josipa, Jakov reče Labanu: “Pusti me da idem u svoj zavičaj!
26 Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served you, so that I may depart. You know the servitude with which I have served you.”
Daj mi moje žene za koje sam te služio i moju djecu da mogu otići: tÓa dobro znaš kako sam te služio.”
27 Laban said to him: “May I find grace in your sight. I have learned by experience that God has blessed me because of you.
A Laban mu odgovori: “Ne idi, ako si mi prijatelj. Znam da me Jahve blagoslivljao zbog tebe.”
28 Choose your wages, which I will give you.”
I nadoda: “Odredi plaću koju želiš od mene, i dat ću ti.”
29 But he responded: “You know how I have served you, and how great your possession became in my hands.
On mu odgovori: “Ti dobro znaš što je moja služba značila za te i kako je tvome blagu bilo sa mnom.
30 You had little before I came to you, and now you have achieved riches. And the Lord has blessed you since my arrival. It is just, therefore, that at some time I also should provide for my own house.”
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 And Laban said, “What shall I give to you?” But he said, “I want nothing. But if you will do what I ask, I will feed and guard your sheep again.
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 Go around through all your flocks and separate all the sheep of variegated or spotted fleece; and whatever will be darkened or blemished or variegated, as much among the sheep as among the goats, 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 And my justice will answer on my behalf tomorrow, when the time of settlement arrives before you. And all that is not variegated or blemished or darkened, as much among the sheep as among the goats, these will prove me to be a thief.”
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 And Laban said, “I hold favor for this request.”
Laban reče: “Dobro, neka bude kako si kazao.”
35 And on that day he separated the she-goats, and the sheep, and the he-goats, and the rams with variegations or with blemishes. But every one of the flock which was of one color, that is, of white or of black fleece, he delivered into the hands 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 And he established a distance of three days journey between himself and his son-in-law, who pastured the remainder of his flock.
I odande gdje je Jakov pasao ostatak Labanova stada udalji se za koja tri dana hoda.
37 Then Jacob, taking green branches of poplar, and almond, and sycamore trees, debarked them in part. And when the bark was pulled off, in the parts that were stripped, there appeared whiteness, yet the parts that were left whole, remained green. And so, in this way the color was made variegated.
A Jakov uzme zelenih mladica od topola, badema i platana; na njima izreza bijele pruge, otkrivši bjeliku na mladicama.
38 And he placed them in the troughs, where the water was poured out, so that when the flocks had arrived to drink, they would have the branches before their eyes, and in their sight they might conceive.
Pruće tako isprugano postavi u korita, u pojila iz kojih se stoka napajala. A kako se stoka parila kad je na vodu dolazila,
39 And it happened that, in the very heat of joining together, the sheep looked upon the branches, and they bore the blemished and the variegated, those speckled with diverse color.
to su se jarci parili uz pruće, pa su koze kozile prugaste, riđaste i šarene kozliće.
40 And Jacob divided the flock, and he set the branches in the troughs before the eyes of the rams. Now whatever was white or black belonged to Laban, but, in truth, the others belonged to Jacob, for the flocks were dispersed among one another.
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 Therefore, when the first to arrive were climbing on the ewes, Jacob placed the branches in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams and the sheep, so that they might conceive while they were gazing upon them.
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 Yet when the late arrivals and the last to conceive were let in, he did not place these. And so those that arrived late became Laban’s, and those that arrived first became Jacob’s.
Ali ga pred kržljavu marvu nije stavljao. Tako je kržljava zapadala Labana, a dobro razvijena Jakova.
43 And the man was enriched beyond limit, and he had many flocks, women servants and men servants, camels and donkeys.
Čovjek se tako silno obogatio, stekao mnogu stoku, sluge i sluškinje, deve i magarad.
