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]!”
Видевши же Рахиль, яко не роди Иакову, и поревнова Рахиль сестре своей и рече Иакову: даждь ми чада: аще же ни, умру аз.
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!”
Разгневався же Иаков на Рахиль, рече ей: еда вместо Бога аз есмь, Иже лиши тя плода утробнаго?
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).”
Рече же Рахиль Иакову: се, раба моя Валла: вниди к ней, и да родит на коленах моих, и чадо сотворю и аз от нея.
4 So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
И даде ему Валлу рабу свою ему в жену: и вниде к ней Иаков.
5 She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
И зача Валла раба Рахилина и роди 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 рече Рахиль: суди ми Бог и послуша гласа моего, и даде ми сына. Сего ради прозва имя ему Дан.
7 Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
И зачат еще Валла раба Рахилина и роди сына втораго 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 рече Рахиль: подя мя Бог, и сравнихся с сестрою моею, и возмогох. И прозва имя его 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.
Виде же Лиа, яко преста раждати, и взя Зелфу рабу свою и даде ю Иакову в жену: и вниде к ней.
10 Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
И зачат Зелфа раба Лиина и роди Иакову сына.
11 Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
И рече Лиа: благо мне случися. И нарече имя ему Гад.
12 Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
И зачат еще Зелфа раба Лиина и роди Иакову сына втораго.
13 Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
И рече Лиа: блажена аз, яко ублажат мя жены. И прозва имя ему 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!”
Иде же Рувим в день жатвы пшеницы и обрете яблока мандрагорова на поли, и принесе я к Лии матери своей. Рече же Рахиль к Лии сестре своей: даждь ми от 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)].
Рече же Лиа: не доволно ли тебе, яко взяла еси мужа моего? Еда и мандрагоры сына моего возмеши? Рече же Рахиль: не тако: да будет сея нощи с тобою 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.
Прииде же Иаков с поля в вечер, и изыде Лиа во сретение ему и рече: ко мне внидеши днесь: наяла бо тя есмь за мандрагоры сына моего. И бысть с нею тоя нощи.
17 God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
И послуша Бог Лию, и заченши роди Иакову сына пятаго.
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 рече Лиа: даде ми Бог мзду мою, зане дах рабу мою мужу моему. И прозва имя ему Иссахар, еже есть мзда.
19 Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
И зачат еще Лиа и роди сына шестаго Иакову.
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 рече Лиа: дарова ми Бог дар добр в нынешнее время: возлюбит мя муж мой: родих бо ему шесть сынов. И прозва имя ему Завулон.
21 Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
И посем роди дщерь, и прозва имя ей Дина.
22 Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
Помяну же Бог Рахиль, и услыша ю Бог, и отверзе утробу ея:
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].”
и заченши, роди Иакову сына. И рече Рахиль: отя Бог укоризну мою.
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 нарече имя ему Иосиф, глаголющи: да придаст ми Бог сына другаго.
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.
Бысть же яко роди Рахиль Иосифа, рече Иаков Лавану: отпусти мя, да иду на место мое и в землю мою:
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.”
отдаждь ми жены моя и дети моя, ихже ради работах тебе, да отиду: ты бо веси работу, юже работах ти.
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.
Рече же ему Лаван: аще обретох благодать пред тобою: усмотрих бо, яко благослови мя Бог пришествием твоим:
28 Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”
раздели мзду свою у мене, и дам ти.
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.
Рече же Иаков: ты веси, яже работах тебе, и колико бе скота твоего у мене:
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.”
мало бо бе елико твоего у мене и возрасте во множество: и благослови тя Господь пришествием моим: ныне убо когда сотворю и аз себе дом?
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 рече к нему Лаван: что ти дам? Рече же ему Иаков: не даси ми ничтоже: аще сотвориши ми глагол сей, паки пасти имам овцы твоя, и сохраню:
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.
оыди вся овцы твоя ныне и разлучи оттуду всякую овцу пелесую во овцах, и всяку беловатую и пеструю в козах, будет ми мзда (и будет мое):
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 послушает мене правда моя во утрешний день, яко есть мзда моя пред тобою: все еже аще не будет пестро и беловатое в козах, и пелесо во овцах, за украденое будет мною.
34 Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
Рече же ему Лаван: буди по словеси твоему.
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 разлучи в той день козлы пестрыя и беловатыя, и вся козы пестрыя и беловатыя, и все еже бе пелесо во овцах, и все еже бяше белое в них: и даде в руце сыном 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 разстави путем трех дний, и между ими и между Иаковом: Иаков же пасяше овцы Лавановы оставшыяся.
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.
Взя же Иаков себе жезл стиракинов зеленый, и орехов, и яворовый: и острога я Иаков пестрением белым, сострогая кору: являшеся же на жезлах белое, еже острога, пестро.
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 положи жезлы, яже острога, в поилных корытех воды: да егда приидут овцы пити, пред жезлы пришедшым им пити, зачнут овцы по жезлом:
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 зачинаху овцы по жезлом, и раждаху овцы беловатыя и пестрыя и пепеловидныя пестрыя.
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.
Агницы же разлучи Иаков и постави прямо овцам овна беловатаго и всякое пестрое во агнцах: и разлучи себе стада по себе, и не смеси сих со овцами Лавановыми.
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.
Бысть же во время, в неже зачинаху овцы во чреве приемлющя, положи Иаков жезлы пред овцами в корытех, еже зачинати им по жезлом:
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.
егда же раждаху овцы, не полагаше: быша же неназнаменаныя Лавановы, а знаменаныя Иаковли.
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 разбогате человек зело зело: и быша ему скоти мнози, и волове, и раби, и рабыни, и велблюды, и ослы.
