Genesis 29
1 And Jacob lifts up his feet, and goes toward the land of the sons of the east;
Jakov nastavi put i dođe u zemlju istočnu.
2 and he looks, and behold, a well in the field, and behold, there [are] three droves of a flock crouching by it, for they water the droves from that well, and the great stone [is] on the mouth of the well.
Najednom opazi studenac u polju. Tri su stada ovaca oko njega plandovala, jer se na tome studencu napajahu. Velik se kamen nalazio studencu na otvoru.
3 (When all the droves have been gathered there, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.)
Jedino kad bi se svi pastiri ondje skupili, mogli bi odvaliti kamen s otvora i ovce napojiti; tada bi opet prevalili kamen na njegovo mjesto, na otvor studenca.
4 And Jacob says to them, “My brothers, where [are] you from?” And they say, “We [are] from Haran.”
“Odakle ste, braćo moja?” - zapita ih Jakov. “Iz Harana”, odgovore.
5 And he says to them, “Have you known Laban, son of Nahor?” And they say, “We have known.”
“Poznajete li”, pitaše ih dalje, “Nahorova sina Labana?” “Poznajemo”, odgovore.
6 And he says to them, “Does he have peace?” And they say, “Peace; and behold, his daughter Rachel is coming with the flock.”
“Je li zdravo?” - opet ih upita. “Zdravo je; a evo mu dolazi kći Rahela sa stadom”, odgovore.
7 And he says, “Behold, the day [is] still great, [it is] not time for the livestock to be gathered; water the flock, and go, delight yourselves.”
“Još ima mnogo dana”, nastavi on, “nije vrijeme spraćati blago. Zašto ga ne napojite i ne otjerate na pašu?”
8 And they say, “We are not able, until all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.”
“Ne možemo dok se ne skupe svi pastiri”, odgovoriše, “da odvale kamen s otvora studenca, tako da mognemo napojiti ovce.”
9 He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel has come with the flock which her father has, for she [is] shepherdess;
Dok je on još s njima govorio, dođe Rahela s ovcama svoga oca. Bila je, naime, pastirica.
10 and it comes to pass, when Jacob has seen Rachel, daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the flock of his mother’s brother Laban, that Jacob comes near and rolls the stone from off the mouth of the well, and waters the flock of his mother’s brother Laban.
Kako Jakov ugleda Rahelu, kćer Labana, brata svoje majke, sa stadom svoga ujaka Labana, Jakov se primače i odvali kamen s otvora studenca te napoji stado svoga ujaka Labana.
11 And Jacob kisses Rachel, and lifts up his voice, and weeps,
Zatim Jakov poljubi Rahelu, a onda briznu u plač.
12 and Jacob declares to Rachel that he [is] her father’s brother, and that he [is] Rebekah’s son, and she runs and declares [it] to her father.
Potom Jakov kaza Raheli da je on sestrić njezina oca, sin Rebekin. Nato ona otrča i obavijesti oca.
13 And it comes to pass, when Laban hears the report of his sister’s son Jacob, that he runs to meet him, and embraces him, and kisses him, and brings him into his house; and he recounts to Laban all these things,
Kad je Laban čuo vijest o Jakovu, sinu svoje sestre, potrča mu u susret. Zagrli ga i poljubi te dovede u svoju kuću. Ispriča Labanu sve što mu se dogodilo.
14 and Laban says to him, “You [are] surely my bone and my flesh”; and he dwells with him a month of days.
A onda Laban reče. “Zbilja si ti moja kost i moje meso!” Pošto je Jakov proboravio s Labanom mjesec dana,
15 And Laban says to Jacob, “Is it because you [are] my brother that you have served me for nothing? Declare to me what your hire [is].”
Laban reče Jakovu: “Zar ćeš me zato što si mi sestrić badava služiti! Kaži mi koliko ćeš tražiti za najam?”
16 And Laban has two daughters, the name of the older [is] Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel,
A Laban imaše dvije kćeri. Starijoj bijaše ime Lea, a mlađoj Rahela.
17 and the eyes of Leah [are] tender, and Rachel has been beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
Lea imala slabe oči, a Rahela bila stasita i lijepa.
18 And Jacob loves Rachel and says, “I serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter”:
Kako je Jakov volio Rahelu, reče: “Služit ću ti sedam godina za tvoju mlađu kćer Rahelu.”
19 and Laban says, “It is better for me to give her to you than to give her to another man; dwell with me”;
Laban odvrati: “Bolje je da je tebi dam nego kakvu strancu. Ostani sa mnom!”
20 and Jacob serves for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her.
Tako je Jakov služio za Rahelu sedam godina, ali mu se učinile, zbog ljubavi prema njoj, kao nekoliko dana.
21 And Jacob says to Laban, “Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in to her”;
Poslije toga Jakov reče Labanu: “Daj mi moju ženu, jer se moje vrijeme navršilo pa bih htio k njoj.”
22 and Laban gathers all the men of the place, and makes a banquet.
Laban sabra sav svijet onog mjesta i priredi gozbu.
23 And it comes to pass in the evening, that he takes his daughter Leah, and brings her to him, and he goes in to her;
Ali navečer uzme svoju kćer Leu pa nju uvede k Jakovu, i on priđe k njoj.
24 and Laban gives his maidservant Zilpah to her, to his daughter Leah, [for] a maidservant.
Laban dade svoju sluškinju Zilpu svojoj kćeri Lei za sluškinju.
25 And it comes to pass in the morning, that behold, it [is] Leah; and he says to Laban, “What [is] this you have done to me? Have I not served with you for Rachel? And why have you deceived me?”
Kad bi ujutro, a to, gle, Lea! Tada Jakov reče Labanu: “Zašto si mi to učinio! Zar te ja nisam služio za Rahelu? Zašto si me prevario?”
26 And Laban says, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn;
Laban odgovori: “U našem mjestu nije običaj da se mlađa udaje prije starije.
27 fulfill the period of seven [for] this one, and we also give to you this one, for the service which you serve with me yet seven other years.”
Završi s njom ovu ženidbenu sedmicu, a onda ću ti dati i drugu, za drugih sedam godina službe kod mene.” Jakov pristane: navrši onu ženidbenu sedmicu.
28 And Jacob does so, and fulfills the period of seven [for] this one, and he gives his daughter Rachel to him for a wife for him;
Onda mu Laban dade i svoju kćer Rahelu za ženu.
29 and Laban gives his maidservant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel for a maidservant for her.
Laban dade svoju sluškinju Bilhu svojoj kćeri Raheli za sluškinju.
30 And he also goes in to Rachel, and he also loves Rachel more than Leah; and he serves with him yet seven other years.
Jakov nato priđe Raheli. Rahelu je više volio nego Leu. I tako je služio Labana još sedam godina.
31 And YHWH sees that Leah [is] the hated one, and He opens her womb, and Rachel [is] barren;
Jahve je vidio da Lea nije voljena, te je učini plodnom, dok Rahela ostade nerotkinja.
32 and Leah conceives, and bears a son, and calls his name Reuben, for she said, “Because YHWH has looked on my affliction; because now does my husband love me.”
Lea zače i rodi sina; nadjenu mu ime Ruben, a to znači, kako je ona protumačila: “Jahve je vidio moju nevolju i stoga će me sada muž moj ljubiti.”
33 And she conceives again, and bears a son, and says, “Because YHWH has heard that I [am] the hated one, He also gives to me even this [one]”; and she calls his name Simeon.
Opet zače i rodi sina te izjavi: “Jahve je čuo da nisam voljena, stoga mi je dao i ovoga.” Zato mu nadjenu ime Šimun.
34 And she conceives again and bears a son, and says, “Now [is] the time, my husband is joined to me, because I have born to him three sons,” therefore has [one] called his name Levi.
Opet zače i rodi sina te izjavi: “Sad će se moj muž meni prikloniti: tri sam mu sina rodila.” Zato mu nadjenu ime Levi.
35 And she conceives again and bears a son, and this time says, “I praise YHWH”; therefore has she called his name Judah; and she ceases from bearing.
A kad je još jednom začela i sina rodila, izjavi: “Ovaj put hvalit ću Jahvu.” Stoga sinu nadjenu ime Juda. Potom prestade rađati.
