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.”
Kad nu Rahēle redzēja, ka tā Jēkabam nedzemdēja, tad tā apskauda savu māsu un sacīja uz Jēkabu: dabū man bērnus, bet ja ne, tad man jāmirst.
2 Jacob, being angry, responded to her, “Am I in the place of God, who has deprived you of the fruit of your womb?”
Tad Jēkabs apskaitās uz Rahēli un sacīja: vai es esmu Dieva vietā, kas tev miesas augļus liedzis?
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.”
Un tā sacīja: redzi, še ir mana kalpone Bilha, ej pie tās, ka tā uz manu klēpi dzemdē, un es arīdzan caur viņu augļojos.
4 And she gave him Bilhah in marriage.
Un viņa tam deva Bilu, savu kalponi par sievu, un Jēkabs gāja pie tās.
5 And when her husband had gone in to her, she conceived and bore a son.
Un Bilha tapa grūta un dzemdēja Jēkabam dēlu.
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.
Tad Rahēle sacīja: Dievs man tiesu ir iznesis un arī manu balsi paklausījis un man dēlu devis. Tādēļ tā viņa vārdu nosauca Danu.
7 And conceiving again, Bilhah bore another,
Un Bilha, Rahēles kalpone, tapa atkal grūta un dzemdēja Jēkabam otru dēlu.
8 about whom Rachel said, “God has compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed.” And she called him Naphtali.
Tad Rahēle sacīja: Dieva cīnīšanos esmu cīnījusies ar savu māsu un arī uzvarējusi, - un nosauca viņa vārdu Naftali.
9 Leah, perceiving that she had desisted from child-bearing, delivered Zilpah, her handmaid, to her husband.
Kad nu Lea redzēja, ka bija mitējusies dzemdēt, tad tā arīdzan ņēma savu kalponi Zilfu un to Jēkabam deva par sievu.
10 And she, after having borne a son with difficulty,
Un Zilfa, Leas kalpone, dzemdēja Jēkabam dēlu.
11 said: “Happiness!” And for this reason, she called his name Gad.
Tad Lea sacīja: laime, - un nosauca viņa vārdu Gadu.
12 Likewise, Zilpah bore another.
Un Zilfa, Leas kalpone, dzemdēja Jēkabam otru dēlu.
13 And Leah said, “This one is for my happiness. Indeed, women will call me blessed.” Because of this, she called him Asher.
Tad Lea sacīja: labi man, jo meitas mani teiks svētīgu, - un tā nosauca viņa vārdu Ašeru.
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.”
Un Rūbens gāja kviešu pļaujamā laikā un atrada dudaīm (mīlestības ābols) laukā un atnesa tos Leai, savai mātei, un Rahēle sacīja uz Leū: dod man jel no tava dēla dudaīm.
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.”
Un viņa uz to sacīja: vai tā ir maza lieta, ka tu manu vīru esi atņēmusi, un tu arī mana dēla dudaīm gribi ņemt? Tad Rahēle sacīja: tam būs šo nakti pie tevis gulēt par tava dēla dudaīm.
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 nu Jēkabs vakarā no lauka nāca, tad Lea tam izgāja pretī un sacīja: tev būs nākt pie manis, jo es tevi ar maksu esmu saderējusi par sava dēla dudaīm. Un viņš pie tās gulēja tanī naktī.
17 And God heard her prayers. And she conceived and bore a fifth son.
Un Dievs paklausīja Leū, un tā tapa grūta un dzemdēja Jēkabam piekto dēlu.
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.
Tad Lea sacīja: Dievs man to atmaksājis, ka es savam vīram esmu devusi savu kalponi, - un tā nosauca viņa vārdu Īsašaru.
19 Conceiving again, Leah bore a sixth son.
Un Lea tapa atkal grūta un dzemdēja Jēkabam sesto dēlu.
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.
Tad Lea sacīja: Dievs mani apdāvinājis ar labu dāvanu, nu mans vīrs pie manis dzīvos, tāpēc, ka es viņam esmu dzemdējusi sešus dēlus - un tā nosauca viņa vārdu Zebulonu.
21 After him, she bore a daughter, named Dinah.
Un pēc tam viņa dzemdēja meitu un nosauca viņas vārdu Dinu.
22 The Lord, likewise remembering Rachel, heeded her and opened her womb.
Un Dievs pieminēja Rahēli un paklausīja viņu un darīja viņu auglīgu.
23 And she conceived and bore a son, saying, “God has taken away my reproach.”
Un viņa tapa grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un sacīja: Dievs manu apsmieklu no manis atņēmis.
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying, “The Lord has added to me another son.”
Un tā nosauca viņa vārdu Jāzepu, sacīdama: lai Tas Kungs mani apdāvina vēl ar citu dēlu.
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.
Un notikās, kad Rahēle Jāzepu bija dzemdējusi, tad Jēkabs sacīja uz Lābanu: atlaid mani, ka es noeju uz savu vietu savā zemē,
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.”
Dod man manas sievas un manus bērnus, kuru dēļ tev esmu kalpojis, tad es iešu, jo tu gan zini to kalpošanu, ko tev esmu kalpojis.
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.
Un Lābans uz to sacīja: kaut es būtu atradis žēlastību tavās acīs! - es esmu nopratis, ka Tas Kungs mani tevis dēļ ir svētījis.
28 Choose your wages, which I will give you.”
Un viņš sacīja: prasi savu algu no manis, tad es to došu.
29 But he responded: “You know how I have served you, and how great your possession became in my hands.
Un tas uz viņu sacīja: tu zini, kā es tev esmu kalpojis, un kā tavi lopi pie manis ir izdevušies.
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.”
Jo priekš manas atnākšanas tev bija mazums, un tas ir lielā pulkā vairojies, un Tas Kungs tevi svētījis caur maniem soļiem; un nu, kad tad man būs apgādāt savu namu?
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.
Un viņš sacīja: ko lai tev dodu? Tad Jēkabs sacīja: tev man nekā nav jādod; ja tu man šo darīsi, tad es atkal ganīšu un sargāšu tavas avis.
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.
Es izstaigāšu šodien pa visu tavu ganāmo pulku un atšķiršu no turienes visus raibos un lāsainos un visus melnos starp jēriem un visus lāsainos un raibos starp kazām, - un tās būs man par algu.
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.”
Tad mana taisnība liecinās par mani nākamās dienās, kad tu nāksi, manu algu raudzīt: viss, kas nav raibs un lāsains starp kazām un melns starp jēriem, to es būšu zadzis.
34 And Laban said, “I hold favor for this request.”
Tad Lābans sacīja: redzi, lai jel notiek pēc tava vārda.
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.
Un viņš atšķīra tanī dienā tos lāsainos un raibos āžus, un visas lāsainās un raibās kazas, visu, pie kā bija baltums, un visu, kas bija melns starp jēriem, un viņš tos iedeva savu bērnu rokā;
36 And he established a distance of three days journey between himself and his son-in-law, who pastured the remainder of his flock.
Un lika starpu treju dienu gājumā starp sevi un Jēkabu. Un Jēkabs ganīja Lābana citas avis.
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.
Tad Jēkabs ņēma rīkstes no zaļām apsēm un mandeļu kokiem un kļavām, un nodrāza tām baltas strīpas, atklādams to baltumu pie tām rīkstēm.
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.
Un tos kociņus, ko bija nomizojis, viņš ielika ūdens silēs un dzeramos traukos avīm priekšā, ka tās nākdamas dzert apietos.
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.
Un tās avis apgājās pār tām rīkstēm, un vedās strīpainas, lāsainas un raibas.
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.
Un Jēkabs šķīra tos jērus, un lika tām mātēm skatīties uz tām strīpainām un melnām starp Lābana avīm, un lika savus ganāmos pulkus atsevišķi, un nelika tos pie Lābana avīm.
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.
Un notikās allažiņ, kad tās agrās avis apgājās, tad Jēkabs to avju priekšā tos kociņus ielika ūdens silēs, ka tās pār tiem kokiem apietos.
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.
Bet kad tās vēlās avis apgājās, tad Jēkabs tos kociņus nelika iekšā, tad tie atpīļi(vājie) kļuva Lābanam un tie agrējie(spēcīgie) Jēkabam.
43 And the man was enriched beyond limit, and he had many flocks, women servants and men servants, camels and donkeys.
Un tas vīrs auga ļoti varens, un tam bija daudz avju, kalpoņu un kalpu, kamieļu un ēzeļu.
