Genesis 30
1 Rachel realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any children for Jacob. So she became jealous of her older sister, Leah, because Leah had given birth to four sons. She said to Jacob, “Enable me to become pregnant and give birth to children. If you do not do that, I [think I will]!”
И увидела Рахиль, что она не рождает детей Иакову, и позавидовала Рахиль сестре своей, и сказала Иакову: дай мне детей, а если не так, я умираю.
2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “(I am not God!/Am I God?) [RHQ] He is the one who has prevented you from becoming pregnant!”
Иаков разгневался на Рахиль и сказал ей: разве я Бог, Который не дал тебе плода чрева?
3 Then she said, “Look, here is my female slave, Bilhah. (Sleep with/Have sex with) [EUP] her, so that she may become pregnant and give birth to children for me. In that way it will be as though (I have children/her children are mine).”
Она сказала: вот служанка моя Валла; войди к ней; пусть она родит на колени мои, чтобы и я имела детей от нее.
4 So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
И дала она Валлу, служанку свою, в жену ему; и вошел к ней Иаков.
5 She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
Валла служанка Рахилина зачала и родила Иакову сына.
6 Rachel said, “God has (vindicated me/judged my case and has decided that what I have done is right). He has also heard my requests and has given me a son.” So she named him Dan, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘he judged’].
И сказала Рахиль: судил мне Бог, и услышал голос мой, и дал мне сына. Посему нарекла ему имя: Дан.
7 Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
И еще зачала и родила Валла, служанка Рахилина, другого сына Иакову.
8 Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle to have children like my older sister, but truly I have a son.” So she named him Naphtali, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘struggle’].
И сказала Рахиль: борьбою сильною боролась я с сестрою моею и превозмогла. И нарекла ему имя: Неффалим.
9 When Leah realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any more children, she took her female slave, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob to be another wife for him.
Лия увидела, что перестала рождать, и взяла служанку свою Зелфу, и дала ее Иакову в жену, и он вошел к ней.
10 Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
И Зелфа, служанка Лиина, зачала и родила Иакову сына.
11 Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
И сказала Лия: прибавилось. И нарекла ему имя: Гад.
12 Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
И еще зачала Зелфа, служанка Лии, и родила другого сына Иакову.
13 Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
И сказала Лия: к благу моему, ибо блаженною будут называть меня женщины. И нарекла ему имя: Асир.
14 When it was time to harvest wheat, Reuben went out into the fields and saw some (mandrakes/plants that women eat to help them to become pregnant). He brought some of them to his mother Leah. But Rachel saw them and said to Leah, “Please give me some of those plants that your son brought to you!”
Рувим пошел во время жатвы пшеницы, и нашел мандрагоровые яблоки в поле, и принес их Лии, матери своей. И Рахиль сказала Лии сестре своей: дай мне мандрагоров сына твоего.
15 But Leah said to her, “No! (It was bad that you stole my husband!/Is it not bad enough that you stole my husband?) [RHQ] Now (are you going to take my son’s mandrake plants?/You want to take my son’s mandrake plants also, [so that you can become pregnant]!)” [RHQ] So Rachel said, “All right, Jacob can sleep with you tonight, if you give me some of your son’s mandrake plants.” [So Leah (agreed/gave her some)].
Но Лия сказала ей: неужели мало тебе завладеть мужем моим, что ты домогаешься и мандрагоров сына моего? Рахиль сказала: так пусть он ляжет с тобою эту ночь, за мандрагоры сына твоего.
16 When Jacob returned from the wheat fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. She said, “You must sleep with me tonight, because I gave Rachel some of my son’s mandrakes [that enable women to become pregnant], to pay her for allowing us to do that.” So Jacob slept with her that night.
Иаков пришел с поля вечером, и Лия вышла ему навстречу и сказала: войди ко мне сегодня, ибо я купила тебя за мандрагоры сына моего. И лег он с нею в ту ночь.
17 God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
И услышал Бог Лию, и она зачала и родила Иакову пятого сына.
18 Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my slave to my husband to be another wife for him.” So she named him Issachar, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘reward’].
И сказала Лия: Бог дал возмездие мне за то, что я отдала служанку мою мужу моему. И нарекла ему имя: Иссахар что значит возмездие.
19 Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
И еще зачала Лия и родила Иакову шестого сына.
20 Leah said, “God has given me a precious gift. (This time/Now) my husband will honor/respect me, because I have given birth to six sons for him.” So she named him Zebulon, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘accepted gift’].
И сказала Лия: Бог дал мне прекрасный дар; теперь будет жить у меня муж мой, ибо я родила ему шесть сынов. И нарекла ему имя: Завулон.
21 Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
Потом родила дочь и нарекла ей имя: Дина.
22 Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
И вспомнил Бог о Рахили, и услышал ее Бог, и отверз утробу ее.
23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, “God has caused that no longer will I be ashamed [for not having children].”
Она зачала и родила Иакову сына, и сказала Рахиль: снял Бог позор мой.
24 She named him Joseph, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘may he give another’] and she said, ‘want Yahweh to give me another son.’
И нарекла ему имя: Иосиф, сказав: Господь даст мне и другого сына.
25 After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Now allow me to quit working for you and let me return to my own land.
После того, как Рахиль родила Иосифа, Иаков сказал Лавану: отпусти меня, и пойду я в свое место и в свою землю;
26 You know the work that I have done for you [for a long time to get my wives]. So let me take my wives and my children, and leave.”
отдай мне жен моих и детей моих, за которых я служил тебе, и я пойду, ибо ты знаешь службу мою, какую я служил тебе.
27 But Laban said to him, “If you are pleased with me, stay here, because I have found out by performing a magic ritual that Yahweh has blessed me because of what you have done for me.
И сказал ему Лаван: о, если бы я нашел благоволение пред очами твоими! я примечаю, что за тебя Господь благословил меня.
28 Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”
И сказал: назначь себе награду от меня, и я дам тебе.
29 Jacob replied, “You know how I have worked for you, and you know that your livestock have increased greatly as I have taken care of them.
И сказал ему Иаков: ты знаешь, как я служил тебе, и каков стал скот твой при мне;
30 You had only a few animals before I came here. But now you have very many, and Yahweh has caused them to increase greatly in number wherever I have taken them. But now I need to start taking care of the needs of my own family.”
ибо мало было у тебя до меня, а стало много; Господь благословил тебя с приходом моим; когда же я буду работать для своего дома?
31 Laban replied, “What do you want me to give you?” Jacob replied, “I do not want you to pay me anything. But if you will do this one thing for me, I will continue to take care of your flocks and protect them.
И сказал ему Лаван: что дать тебе? Иаков сказал ему: не давай мне ничего. Если только сделаешь мне, что я скажу, то я опять буду пасти и стеречь овец твоих.
32 Allow me to go and look at all of your flocks today and remove from them all the speckled sheep, all the spotted sheep, and every dark-colored lamb, all the goats that are speckled, and all the goats that are spotted, [and keep them for myself]. They will be my wages.
Я пройду сегодня по всему стаду овец твоих; отдели из него всякий скот с крапинами и с пятнами, всякую скотину черную из овец, также с пятнами и с крапинами из коз. Такой скот будет наградою мне и будет мой.
33 In that way, in the future, you will be able to know whether I have been honest regarding what you have paid me. If any of my goats are neither speckled or spotted, or if any of my lambs are not dark-colored, you will know that I have stolen them from you.”
И будет говорить за меня пред тобою справедливость моя в следующее время, когда придешь посмотреть награду мою. Всякая из коз не с крапинами и не с пятнами, и из овец не черная, краденое это у меня.
34 Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
Лаван сказал ему: хорошо, пусть будет по твоему слову.
35 But that same day Laban removed all the male goats that had black and white stripes on them or were spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled or spotted, all the goats that were partly white, and all the dark-colored lambs. He separated them and told his sons to take care of them.
И отделил в тот день козлов пестрых и с пятнами, и всех коз с крапинами и с пятнами, всех, на которых было несколько белого, и всех черных овец, и отдал на руки сыновьям своим;
36 Then he took these flocks and walked a distance of three days, in order that he could be that far from Jacob. Jacob continued to take care of the rest of Laban’s flocks.
и назначил расстояние между собою и между Иаковом на три дня пути. Иаков же пас остальной мелкий скот Лаванов.
37 Then Jacob cut some branches of (poplar, almond, and plane trees/three kinds of trees that had white wood). He peeled strips of bark from the branches, so that where the bark had been peeled off, the branches were light in color.
И взял Иаков свежих прутьев тополевых, миндальных и яворовых, и вырезал на них Иаков белые полосы, сняв кору до белизны, которая на прутьях,
38 Then he placed the peeled branches in the troughs where they put the water for the animals to drink, so that the branches would be in front of the flocks when they came to drink.
и положил прутья с нарезкою перед скотом в водопойных корытах, куда скот приходил пить и где, приходя пить, зачинал пред прутьями.
39 The animals also mated in front of the branches, and eventually they gave birth to animals that were speckled, or to animals that were spotted, or to animals that had black and white stripes on them.
И зачинал скот пред прутьями, и рождался скот пестрый, и с крапинами, и с пятнами.
40 Furthermore, Jacob separated the female sheep in his flock from the other sheep and goats in Laban’s flock. And when his female sheep mated, he made them look toward the animals that belonged to Laban that had black and white stripes on them, and the dark-colored animals. He did that so that the female sheep would give birth to animals that were striped or dark-colored. By doing that, he made bigger flocks for himself, and he kept them separate from Laban’s flocks.
И отделял Иаков ягнят и ставил скот лицем к пестрому и всему черному скоту Лаванову; и держал свои стада особо и не ставил их вместе со скотом Лавана.
41 In addition, whenever the stronger female sheep were ready to mate, Jacob put some of those peeled branches in the troughs in front of them, so that they would mate in front of the branches.
Каждый раз, когда зачинал скот крепкий, Иаков клал прутья в корытах пред глазами скота, чтобы он зачинал пред прутьями.
42 But when weak animals were ready to mate, he did not put the branches in their troughs. So the weak ones became part of Laban’s flock, and the strong ones became part of Jacob’s flock.
А когда зачинал скот слабый, тогда он не клал. И доставался слабый скот Лавану, а крепкий Иакову.
43 As a result, Jacob became very rich. He owned many large flocks of sheep and goats, and many male and female slaves, and many camels and donkeys.
И сделался этот человек весьма, весьма богатым, и было у него множество мелкого скота и крупного скота, и рабынь, и рабов, и верблюдов, и ослов.
