Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
Potem je Jakob odšel na svoje potovanje in prišel v deželo vzhodnega ljudstva.
2 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, see, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was on the well’s mouth.
Pogledal je in na polju zagledal izvir in glej, tam so bili trije tropi ovac, ležeč pri njem, kajti iz tega izvira so napajali trope. Na vodnjakovih ustih pa je bil velik kamen.
3 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the well’s mouth in his place.
Tja so se zbirali vsi tropi in odvalili so kamen iz vodnjakovih ust, napojili ovce in kamen ponovno položili na vodnjakova usta, na njegovo mesto.
4 And Jacob said to them, My brothers, from where be you? And they said, Of Haran are we.
Jakob jim je rekel: »Moji bratje, od kod ste?« Odgovorili so: »Iz Harána smo.«
5 And he said to them, Know you Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
Rekel jim je: »Poznate Nahórjevega sina Labána?« Rekli so: »Poznamo ga.«
6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter comes with the sheep.
Rekel jim je: »Ali je zdrav?« Rekli so: »Zdrav je in glej, njegova hči Rahela prihaja z ovcami.«
7 And he said, See, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water you the sheep, and go and feed them.
Rekel je: »Glej, še dolg dan je niti ni čas, da bi se živina zbrala skupaj. Napojite ovce in odženite jih past.«
8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
Rekli so: »Ne moremo, dokler se ne zberejo vsi tropi in dokler kamna ne odvalijo iz vodnjakovih ust. Potem napojimo ovce.«
9 And while he yet spoke with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep; for she kept them.
Medtem ko je še govoril z njimi, je prišla Rahela z ovcami svojega očeta, kajti ona jih je varovala.
10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Jakob opazil Rahelo, hčer materinega brata Labána in ovce materinega brata Labána, da se je Jakob približal in odvalil kamen od vodnjakovih ust in napojil trop Labána, brata svoje matere.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Jakob je poljubil Rahelo in povzdignil svoj glas in zajokal.
12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father.
Jakob je Raheli povedal, da je brat njenega očeta in da je Rebekin sin. In ta je stekla ter povedala svojemu očetu.
13 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Labán slišal te novice o Jakobu, sinu svoje sestre, da je stekel, da ga sreča, ga objel, poljubil in privedel k svoji hiši. In Labánu je povedal vse te stvari.
14 And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And he stayed with him the space of a month.
In Labán mu je rekel: »Zagotovo si moja kost in moje meso.« In z njim je ostal čas enega meseca.
15 And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? tell me, what shall your wages be?
Labán je rekel Jakobu: »Ker si moj brat, zakaj bi mi služil zaman? Povej mi kakšna naj bodo tvoja plačila?«
16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Labán pa je imel dve hčeri. Starejši je bilo ime Lea, ime mlajše pa je bilo Rahela.
17 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
Lea je bila nežnih oči, toda Rahela je bila krasna in lepega videza.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.
Jakob pa je ljubil Rahelo in rekel: »Sedem let ti bom služil za Rahelo, tvojo mlajšo hčer.«
19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
Labán je rekel: »Bolje je to, da jo dam tebi, kakor da bi jo dal kateremukoli drugemu moškemu. Ostani z menoj.«
20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
Jakob je sedem let služil za Rahelo in zdela so se mu [kot] le nekaj dni, zaradi ljubezni, ki jo je imel do nje.
21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
Jakob je rekel Labánu: »Daj mi mojo ženo, kajti moji dnevi so dopolnjeni, da lahko grem noter vanjo.«
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Labán je zbral skupaj vse može tega kraja in priredil gostijo.
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.
Pripetilo pa se je zvečer, da je vzel svojo hčer Leo in jo privedel k njemu in on je šel noter k njej.
24 And Laban gave to his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
In Labán je svoji hčeri Lei za pomočnico dal svojo služabnico Zilpo.
25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this you have done to me? did not I serve with you for Rachel? why then have you beguiled me?
Pripetilo se je zjutraj, glej, to je bila Lea, in Labánu je rekel: »Kaj je to, kar si mi storil? Ali nisem s teboj služil za Rahelo? Zakaj si me potem preslepil?«
26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Labán je rekel: »V naši deželi se ne sme tako storiti, da se mlajšo izroči pred prvorojeno.
27 Fulfill her week, and we will give you this also for the service which you shall serve with me yet seven other years.
Dopolni njen teden in dali ti bomo tudi njo, za službo, ki jo boš služil z menoj še drugih sedem let.«
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
Jakob je storil tako in dopolnil njen teden, on pa mu je dal tudi svojo hčer Rahelo za ženo.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
Labán je svoji hčeri Raheli dal svojo pomočnico Bilho, da postane njena služabnica.
30 And he went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
Odšel je tudi k Raheli in Rahelo je ljubil bolj kakor Leo in pri njem je služil še drugih sedem let.
31 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
Ko je Gospod videl, da je bila Lea osovražena, je odprl njeno maternico, toda Rahela je bila jalova.
32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD has looked on my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
Lea je spočela, rodila sina in njegovo ime imenovala Ruben, kajti rekla je: »Zagotovo je Gospod pogledal na mojo stisko. Sedaj me bo torej moj soprog ljubil.«
33 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD has heard I was hated, he has therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
Ponovno je spočela in rodila sina ter rekla: »Ker je Gospod slišal, da sem bila osovražena, mi je zato dal tudi tega sina, « in njegovo ime je imenovala Simeon.
34 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
Ponovno je spočela in rodila sina in rekla: »Torej tokrat bo moj soprog pridružen k meni, ker sem mu rodila tri sinove, « zato je bilo njegovo ime imenovano Lévi.
35 And she conceived again, and bore a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
Ponovno je spočela in rodila sina in rekla: »Sedaj bom hvalila Gospoda, « zato je njegovo ime poimenovala Juda; in prenehala je rojevati.
