< Genesis 29 >
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the people of the east.
Potem je Jakob odšel na svoje potovanje in prišel v deželo vzhodnega ljudstva.
2 He looked and saw a well in the field, and look, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well's mouth was large.
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 Now all the flocks would be gathered there, and they would roll the stone from the well's mouth, and water the sheep, and put the stone again on the well's mouth in its 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 Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where are you from?" They said, "We are from Haran."
Jakob jim je rekel: »Moji bratje, od kod ste?« Odgovorili so: »Iz Harána smo.«
5 He said to them, "Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."
Rekel jim je: »Poznate Nahórjevega sina Labána?« Rekli so: »Poznamo ga.«
6 He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep."
Rekel jim je: »Ali je zdrav?« Rekli so: »Zdrav je in glej, njegova hči Rahela prihaja z ovcami.«
7 He said, "Look, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them."
Rekel je: »Glej, še dolg dan je niti ni čas, da bi se živina zbrala skupaj. Napojite ovce in odženite jih past.«
8 They said, "We can't, until all the flocks are gathered together, and 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 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was tending them.
Medtem ko je še govoril z njimi, je prišla Rahela z ovcami svojega očeta, kajti ona jih je varovala.
10 It happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob went over 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 Jacob kissed Rachel, and wept loudly.
Jakob je poljubil Rahelo in povzdignil svoj glas in zajokal.
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. 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 It happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister's son, that he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob 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 Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." He lived with him for a month.
In Labán mu je rekel: »Zagotovo si moja kost in moje meso.« In z njim je ostal čas enega meseca.
15 Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be?"
Labán je rekel Jakobu: »Ker si moj brat, zakaj bi mi služil zaman? Povej mi kakšna naj bodo tvoja plačila?«
16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the older 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 looked rather plain, but Rachel was beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance.
Lea je bila nežnih oči, toda Rahela je bila krasna in lepega videza.
18 Jacob loved Rachel. He 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 Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."
Labán je rekel: »Bolje je to, da jo dam tebi, kakor da bi jo dal kateremukoli drugemu moškemu. Ostani z menoj.«
20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and it seemed only a few days to him because of his love for 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 Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my time is completed, so that I may sleep with her."
Jakob je rekel Labánu: »Daj mi mojo ženo, kajti moji dnevi so dopolnjeni, da lahko grem noter vanjo.«
22 Laban gathered together all the people of the place, and gave a feast.
Labán je zbral skupaj vse može tega kraja in priredil gostijo.
23 It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he slept wit 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 Laban gave Zilpah his female servant to his daughter Leah as a servant.
In Labán je svoji hčeri Lei za pomočnico dal svojo služabnico Zilpo.
25 It happened in the morning that, look, it was Leah. He said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not work for you to have Rachel? Why then have you deceived 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 Laban said, "It is not our custom here 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 Finish the week of this one, and I will give you the other also in exchange for the work which you are to serve with me for another seven years."
Dopolni njen teden in dali ti bomo tudi njo, za službo, ki jo boš služil z menoj še drugih sedem let.«
28 Then Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
Jakob je storil tako in dopolnil njen teden, on pa mu je dal tudi svojo hčer Rahelo za ženo.
29 Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his female servant, to be her servant.
Labán je svoji hčeri Raheli dal svojo pomočnico Bilho, da postane njena služabnica.
30 So he slept with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he worked with him another seven years.
Odšel je tudi k Raheli in Rahelo je ljubil bolj kakor Leo in pri njem je služil še drugih sedem let.
31 Jehovah saw that Leah was unloved, so he made her fertile, but Rachel was barren.
Ko je Gospod videl, da je bila Lea osovražena, je odprl njeno maternico, toda Rahela je bila jalova.
32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, "Because God has looked at my affliction, and given me a son. For now 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 She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, "Because God has heard that I am unloved, he has therefore given me this son also." So she named him 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 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "Now this time my husband will become attached to me, since I have given him three sons." Therefore he was named 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 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "This time will I praise God." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
Ponovno je spočela in rodila sina in rekla: »Sedaj bom hvalila Gospoda, « zato je njegovo ime poimenovala Juda; in prenehala je rojevati.
