1 Mózes 30
1 És látá Rákhel, hogy ő nem szűle Jákóbnak, irigykedni kezde Rákhel az ő nénjére, és monda Jákóbnak: Adj nékem gyermekeket, mert ha nem, meghalok.
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]!”
2 Felgerjede azért Jákób haragja Rákhel ellen, és monda: Avagy Isten vagyok-é én, ki megtagadta tőled a méhnek gyümölcsét.
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!”
3 És monda ez: Ímhol az én szolgálóm Bilha, menj be hozzá, hogy szűljön az én térdeimen, és én is megépüljek ő általa.
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).”
4 Adá tehát néki az ő szolgálóját Bilhát feleségűl, és beméne ahhoz Jákób.
So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
5 És teherbe esék Bilha és szűle Jákóbnak fiat.
She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
6 És monda Rákhel: Ítélt felőlem az Isten, és meg is hallgatta szavamat, és adott énnékem fiat: azért nevezé nevét Dánnak.
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’].
7 Ismét fogada az ő méhében, és szűle Bilha, a Rákhel szolgálója más fiat is Jákóbnak.
Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
8 És monda Rákhel: Nagy tusakodással tusakodtam az én nénémmel, és győztem; azért nevezé nevét Nafthalinak.
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’].
9 Látván pedig Lea hogy ő megszűnt a szűléstől, vevé az ő szolgálóját Zilpát, és adá azt Jákóbnak feleségűl.
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.
10 És szűle Zilpa, Lea szolgálója, fiat Jákóbnak.
Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
11 És monda Lea: Szerencsére! és nevezé nevét Gádnak!
Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
12 És szűle Zilpa, Lea szolgálója, más fiat is Jákóbnak.
Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
13 És monda Lea: Oh én boldogságom! bizony boldognak mondanak engem az asszonyok: és nevezé nevét Ásernek.
Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
14 És kiméne Rúben búzaaratáskor, és talála a mezőn mandragóra-bogyókat s vivé azokat az ő anyjának, Leának. És monda Rákhel Leának: Adj nékem kérlek a fiad mandragóra-bogyóiból.
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!”
15 Az pedig monda néki: Talán keveselled, hogy elvetted tőlem az én férjemet, s a fiam mandragóra-bogyóit is elvennéd tőlem? És monda Rákhel: Háljon veled hát az éjjel a te fiad mandragóra-bogyóiért.
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)].
16 Mikor Jákób este a mezőről jöve, eleibe méne Lea, és monda: Én hozzám jőjj be, mert megvettelek a fiam mandragóra-bogyóiért; és nála hála azon éjszaka.
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.
17 És meghallgatá Isten Leát, mert fogada az ő méhében és szűle Jákóbnak ötödik fiat.
God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
18 És monda Lea: Megadta az Isten jutalmamat, a miért szolgálómat férjemnek adtam; azért nevezé nevét Izsakhárnak.
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’].
19 És ismét fogada az ő méhében Lea, és szűle hatodik fiat Jákóbnak.
Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
20 És monda Lea: Megajándékozott az Isten engem jó ajándékkal; most már velem lakik az én férjem, mert hat fiat szűltem néki, és nevezé nevét Zebulonnak.
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’].
21 Annakutána szűle leányt, és nevezé nevét Dínának.
Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
22 Megemlékezék pedig az Isten Rákhelről; és meghallgatá őt az Isten és megnyitá az ő méhét.
Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
23 És fogada méhében, és szűle fiat, s monda: Elvevé Isten az én gyalázatomat.
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].”
24 És nevezé nevét Józsefnek, mondván: Adjon ehhez az Úr nékem más fiat is.
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.’
25 És lőn, a mint szűlte vala Rákhel Józsefet, monda Jákób Lábánnak: Bocsáss el engemet, hadd menjek el az én helyembe, az én hazámba.
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.
26 Add meg nékem az én feleségeimet és magzatimat, a kikért szolgáltalak téged, hadd menjek el, mert te tudod az én szolgálatomat, a melylyel szolgáltalak téged.
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.”
27 És monda néki Lábán: Vajha kedvet találtam volna szemeid előtt! Úgy sejtem, hogy te éretted áldott meg engem az Úr.
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.
28 És monda: Szabj bért magadnak és én megadom.
Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”
29 Ez pedig monda: Te tudod mimódon szolgáltalak téged, és hogy mivé lett nálam a te jószágod.
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.
30 Mert a mi kevesed vala én előttem, sokra szaporodott, és megáldott az Úr téged az én lábam nyomán. Immár mikor tehetek valamit a magam házáért is?
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.”
31 És monda Lábán: Mit adjak néked? Felele Jákób: Ne adj nékem semmit; juhaidat ismét legeltetem és őrizem, ha nekem ezt a dolgot megteszed:
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.
32 Nyájaidat ma mind végig járom, minden pettyegetett és tarka bárányt kiszaggatok közűlök, és minden fekete bárányt a juhok közűl, s a tarkát és pettyegetettet a kecskék közűl, s legyen ez az én bérem.
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.
33 S a mikor majd bérem iránt eljövéndesz, mi előtted lesz, becsületességemről ez felel: a mi nem pettyegetett vagy tarka a kecskék, s nem fekete a juhok közt, az mind lopott jószág nálam.
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.”
34 És monda Lábán: Ám legyen: Vajha a te beszéded szerint lenne.
Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
35 Külön választá azért azon a napon a pettyegetett és tarka kosokat, és minden csíkos lábú és tarka kecskét, mind a melyikben valami fehérség vala, és minden feketét a juhok közűl, és adá az ő fiainak keze alá.
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.
36 És három napi járó földet vete maga közé és Jákób közé; Jákób pedig legelteti vala Lábán egyéb juhait.
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.
37 És vőn Jákób zöld nyár-, mogyoró- és gesztenye-vesszőket, és meghántá azokat fehéresen csíkosra, hogy látható legyen a vesszők fehére.
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.
38 És a vesszőket, melyeket meghántott vala, felállítá a csatornákba, az itató válúkba, melyekre a juhok inni járnak vala, szembe a juhokkal, hogy foganjanak, mikor inni jönnek.
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.
39 És a juhok a vesszők előtt foganának és ellenek vala csíkos lábúakat, pettyegetetteket és tarkákat.
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.
40 Azután külön szakasztá Jákób ezeket a bárányokat, és a Lábán nyáját arczczal fordítja vala a csíkos lábú és fekete bárányokra; így szerze magának külön falkákat, melyeket nem ereszte a Lábán juhai közé.
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.
41 És lőn, hogy mikor a nyáj java részének vala párzási ideje, akkor Jákób a vesszőket oda raká a válúkba a juhok eleibe, hogy a vesszőket látva foganjanak.
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.
42 De mikor satnya vala a nyáj, nem rakja vala oda s ily módon Lábánéi lőnek a satnyák, a java pedig Jákóbé.
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.
43 És felette igen meggazdagodék a férfiú; és vala néki sok juha, szolgálója, szolgája, tevéje és szamara.
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.
