Genesis 29
1 And he lifted up Jacob feet his and he went [the] land of towards [the] people of [the] east.
Så gav Jakob sig atter på veien og drog til Østens barns land.
2 And he saw and there! a well [was] in the field and there! there three flocks of sheep [were] lying down at it for from the well that people watered the flocks and the stone [was] large over [the] mouth of the well.
Og da han så sig omkring, fikk han se en brønn på marken, og ved den lå det tre flokker småfe. for av denne brønn vannet de feet; men stenen som lå over brønnens åpning, var stor.
3 And they were gathered there towards all the flocks and they rolled the stone from over [the] mouth of the well and they watered the sheep and they put back the stone over [the] mouth of the well to place its.
Der samlet alle feflokkene sig, og gjæterne veltet stenen fra brønnens åpning og vannet småfeet, og så la de stenen tilbake på sitt sted, over brønnens åpning.
4 And he said to them Jacob O brothers my from where? [are] you and they said [are] from Haran we.
Jakob spurte dem: Mine brødre, hvor er I fra? De svarte: Vi er fra Karan.
5 And he said to them ¿ do you know Laban [the] son of Nahor and they said we know [him].
Så spurte han dem: Kjenner I Laban, sønn til Nakor? De svarte: Ja, vi kjenner ham.
6 And he said to them ¿ [does] health [belong] to him and they said health and there! Rachel daughter his [is] coming with the sheep.
Da spurte han dem: Står det vel til med ham? De svarte: Ja, det gjør det, og se, der kommer hans datter Rakel med småfeet.
7 And he said here! still the day [is] great not [the] time of [the] being gathered of the livestock water the sheep and go pasture [them].
Da sa han: Det er jo ennu høi dag, det er ennu ikke tid til å samle buskapen; vann småfeet og gå avsted igjen og gjæt!
8 And they said not we are able until that they will be gathered all the flocks and people will roll the stone from over [the] mouth of the well and we will water the sheep.
Men de sa: Det kan vi ikke før alle feflokkene er samlet, og stenen blir veltet fra brønnens åpning; da vanner vi småfeet.
9 Still [was] he speaking with them and Rachel - she came with the sheep which [belonged] to father her for [was] a shepherdess she.
Mens han ennu talte med dem, kom Rakel med sin fars småfe; for det var hun som gjætte.
10 And it was just as he saw Jacob Rachel [the] daughter of Laban [the] brother of mother his and [the] sheep of Laban [the] brother of mother his and he drew near Jacob and he rolled the stone from over [the] mouth of the well and he watered [the] sheep of Laban [the] brother of mother his.
Og da Jakob så Rakel, sin morbror Labans datter, og så småfeet som hørte hans morbror til, gikk han frem og veltet stenen fra brønnens åpning og vannet sin morbror Labans småfe.
11 And he kissed Jacob Rachel and he lifted up voice his and he wept.
Og Jakob kysset Rakel og brast i gråt.
12 And he told Jacob to Rachel that [was] [the] relative of father her he and that [was] [the] son of Rebekah he and she ran and she told to father her.
Og Jakob fortalte Rakel at han var hennes fars frende, og at han var sønn til Rebekka; da sprang hun avsted og fortalte det til sin far.
13 And it was when heard Laban [the] report of - Jacob [the] son of sister his and he ran to meet him and he embraced him and he kissed him and he brought him to house his and he recounted to Laban all the things these.
Da nu Laban fikk høre om Jakob, sin søstersønn, løp han ham i møte og omfavnet ham og kysset ham og førte ham inn i sitt hus; og han fortalte Laban alt det som hadde hendt.
14 And he said to him Laban surely [are] bone my and flesh my you and he remained with him a month of days.
Da sa Laban til ham: Sannelig, vi er av samme kjød og blod. Og han blev hos ham en måneds tid.
15 And he said Laban to Jacob ¿ for relative my [are] you and you will serve me for nothing tell! to me what? [is] wage[s] your.
Så sa Laban til Jakob: Skulde du tjene mig for intet, fordi om du er min frende? Si mig hvad du vil ha i lønn!
16 And [belonged] to Laban two daughters [the] name of the old [one] [was] Leah and [the] name of the young [one] [was] Rachel.
Nu hadde Laban to døtre, den eldste hette Lea, og den yngste hette Rakel.
17 And [the] eyes of Leah [were] weak and Rachel she was beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
Lea hadde matte øine; men Rakel var vakker av skapning og vakker å se til.
18 And he loved Jacob Rachel and he said I will serve you seven years for Rachel daughter your young.
Og Jakob hadde Rakel kjær; derfor sa han: Jeg vil tjene dig syv år for Rakel, din yngste datter.
19 And he said Laban ([is] good *LB(ah)*) to give I her to you more than to give I her to a man another remain! with me.
Laban svarte: Det er bedre at jeg gir henne til dig, enn at jeg gir henne til en annen mann; bli hos mig!
20 And he served Jacob for Rachel seven years and they were in view his like days one in love his her.
Så tjente Jakob i syv år for Rakel; og disse år syntes han var nogen få dager, fordi han hadde henne kjær.
21 And he said Jacob to Laban give! wife my for they have been completed days my so I may go into her.
Derefter sa Jakob til Laban: La mig nu få min hustru, for min tid er ute, og jeg vil gå inn til henne.
22 And he gathered Laban all [the] people of the place and he prepared a feast.
Da samlet Laban alle menn der på stedet og gjorde et gjestebud.
23 And it was in the evening and he took Leah daughter his and he brought her to him and he went into her.
Og om aftenen tok han sin datter Lea og førte henne inn til ham, og han gikk inn til henne.
24 And he had given Laban to her Zilpah maidservant his to Leah daughter his a maidservant.
Og Laban gav sin trælkvinne Silpa til sin datter Lea som trælkvinne.
25 And it was in the morning and there! she [was] Leah and he said to Laban what? this have you done to me ¿ not for Rachel have I served with you and why? have you deceived me.
Men om morgenen - se, da var det Lea. Da sa han til Laban: Hvad er det du har gjort mot mig? Var det ikke for Rakel jeg tjente hos dig? Hvorfor har du sveket mig?
26 And he said Laban not it is done thus in place our to give the young before the firstborn.
Laban svarte: Det er ikke skikk her hos oss å gi den yngste bort før den eldste.
27 Complete [the] week of this [one] so let us give to you also this [one] for [the] service which you will serve with me again seven years another.
La nu Leas bryllups-uke gå til ende, så vil vi også gi dig den andre, hvis du vil tjene hos mig i syv år til.
28 And he did Jacob thus and he completed [the] week of this [one] and he gave to him Rachel daughter his of him to a wife.
Og Jakob gjorde så, og han lot bryllups-uken gå til ende. Da gav han ham sin datter Rakel til hustru.
29 And he had given Laban to Rachel daughter his Bilhah maidservant his to her to [be] a maidservant.
Og Laban gav sin trælkvinne Bilha til sin datter Rakel som trælkvinne.
30 And he went also into Rachel and he loved also Rachel more than Leah and he served with him again seven years another.
Så gikk han også inn til Rakel, og han holdt mere av Rakel enn av Lea. Siden tjente han ennu syv år til hos Laban.
31 And he saw Yahweh that [was] hated Leah and he opened womb her and Rachel [was] barren.
Da Herren så at Lea blev tilsidesatt, åpnet han hennes morsliv; men Rakel var barnløs.
32 And she conceived Leah and she bore a son and she called name his Reuben for she said that he has looked Yahweh on affliction my for now he will love me husband my.
Og Lea blev fruktsommelig og fødte en sønn, og hun kalte ham Ruben; for hun sa: Herren har sett til mig i min ulykke; nu vil min mann elske mig.
33 And she conceived again and she bore a son and she said that he has heard Yahweh that [am] hated I and he has given to me also this [one] and she called name his Simeon.
Og hun blev atter fruktsommelig og fødte en sønn og sa: Herren har hørt at jeg var tilsidesatt; derfor har han gitt mig også denne sønn. Så kalte hun ham Simeon.
34 And she conceived again and she bore a son and she said now this time he will join himself husband my to me for I have borne to him three sons there-fore he called name his Levi.
Og hun blev atter fruktsommelig og fødte en sønn og sa: Nu må vel endelig min mann holde sig til mig, for jeg har født ham tre sønner. Derfor kalte de ham Levi.
35 And she conceived again and she bore a son and she said this time I will praise Yahweh there-fore she called name his Judah and she stopped from bearing children.
Og hun blev atter fruktsommelig og fødte en sønn og sa: Nu vil jeg prise Herren. Derfor kalte hun ham Juda. Så fikk hun ikke flere barn da.
