Pirmā Mozus 29
1 Un Jēkabs cēlās kājās un gāja uz to ļaužu zemi, kas pret rītiem,
And so Jacob, setting out, arrived in the eastern land.
2 Un skatījās, un redzi, tur bija aka uz lauka. Un redzi, tur bija trīs avju pulki pie tās nometušies, jo no tās akas tās avis tapa dzirdinātas, un liels akmens bija uz akas cauruma.
And he saw a well in a field, and also three flocks of sheep reclining near it. For the animals were watered from it, and its mouth was closed with a great stone.
3 Un turpat visi avju pulki tapa sadzīti, un tie novēla to akmeni no akas cauruma un dzirdīja tās avis un uzlika atkal to akmeni uz akas caurumu savā vietā.
And the custom was, when all the sheep were gathered together, to roll away the stone. And when the flocks had been refreshed, they placed it over the mouth of the well again.
4 Tad Jēkabs uz tiem sacīja: brāļi, no kurienes jūs esat? Un tie sacīja: mēs esam no Hāranas.
And he said to the shepherds, “Brothers, where are you from?” And they answered. “From Haran.”
5 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: vai jūs pazīstat Lābanu, Nahora dēlu? Un tie sacīja: pazīstam gan.
And questioning them, he said, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
6 Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: vai tam labi klājās? Un tie atbildēja: labi gan; un redzi, Rahēle, viņa meita, te nāk ar avīm.
He said, “Is he well?” “He is very well,” they said. “And behold, his daughter Rachel approaches with his flock.”
7 Un viņš sacīja: redzi, saule vēl ir gabalā, vēl nav laiks lopus pārdzīt, dzirdinājiet tās avis un ejat un paganiet tās.
And Jacob said, “There is still much daylight remaining, and it is not time to return the flocks to the sheepfold. Give the sheep to drink first, and then lead them back to pasture.”
8 Tad tie sacīja: mēs nevaram, pirms visi avju pulki nav sadzīti; tad to akmeni noveļ no akas cauruma, un mēs dzirdinām tās avis.
They responded, “We cannot, until all the animals are gathered together and we remove the stone from the mouth of the well, so that we may water the flocks.”
9 Kad viņš vēl ar tiem runāja, tad nāca Rahēle ar avīm, kas viņas tēvam piederēja, jo viņa tās ganīja.
They were still speaking, and behold, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep; for she pastured the flock.
10 Un kad Jēkabs ieraudzīja Rahēli, savas mātes brāļa Lābana meitu, un savas mātes brāļa Lābana avis, tad tas piegāja un novēla to akmeni no akas cauruma un dzirdīja savas mātes brāļa Lābana avis.
When Jacob had seen her, and he realized that she was his maternal first cousin, and that these were the sheep of his uncle Laban, he removed the stone which closed the well.
11 Un Jēkabs skūpstīja Rahēli un pacēla savu balsi un raudāja.
And having watered the flock, he kissed her. And lifting up his voice, he wept.
12 Un Jēkabs sacīja Rahēlei, ka esot viņas tēva radinieks un Rebekas dēls, tad tā tecēja un to pasacīja savam tēvam.
And he revealed to her that he was a brother of her father, and the son of Rebekah. And so, hurrying, she announced it to her father.
13 Un kad Lābans dzirdēja to vēsti par Jēkabu, savas māsas dēlu, tad tas viņam tecēja pretī un viņu apkampa un skūpstīja un ieveda savā namā. Tad tas Lābanam teica visas šās lietas.
And when he had heard that Jacob, his sister’s son, had arrived, he ran to meet him. And embracing him, and kissing him heartily, he brought him into his house. But when he had heard the reasons for his journey,
14 Un Lābans uz viņu sacīja: tiešām, tu esi no maniem kauliem un no manas miesas; un viņš pie tā palika veselu mēnesi.
he responded, “You are my bone and my flesh.” And after the days of one month were completed,
15 Un Lābans sacīja uz Jēkabu: jebšu tu esi mans radinieks, vai tādēļ: tu man velti kalpotu? Saki man, kādu algu tu prasi?
he said to him: “Though you are my brother, will you serve me for nothing? Tell me what wages you would accept.”
16 Un Lābanam bija divas meitas; tās vecākās vārds bija Lea un tās jaunākās vārds bija Rahēle.
In truth, he had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah; and truly the younger was called Rachel.
17 Leas acis bija pavājas, bet Rahēle bija skaista no auguma un ģīmja.
But while Leah was bleary-eyed, Rachel had an elegant appearance and was attractive to behold.
18 Un Jēkabs mīlēja Rahēli un sacīja: es tev gribu kalpot septiņus gadus par Rahēli, tavu jaunāko meitu.
And Jacob, loving her, said, “I will serve you for seven years, for your younger daughter Rachel.”
19 Tad Lābans sacīja: Labāki es to dodu tev, nekā citam vīram; paliec pie manis.
Laban responded, “It is better that I give her to you than to another man; remain with me.”
20 Un Jēkabs kalpoja par Rahēli septiņus gadus; tās likās kādas dienas vien esam, tik mīļa tā viņam bija.
Therefore, Jacob served for seven years for Rachel. And these seemed like only a few days, because of the greatness of love.
21 Un Jēkabs sacīja uz Lābanu: dod man manu sievu, jo manas dienas ir pilnas, ka es pie tās eju.
And he said to Laban, “Give my wife to me. For now the time has been fulfilled, so that I may go in to her.”
22 Tad Lābans sapulcēja visus tās vietas ļaudis un taisīja dzīres.
And he, having called a great crowd of his friends to the feast, agreed to the marriage.
23 Un vakarā viņš ņēma savu meitu Leū un to ieveda pie viņa, un Jēkabs gāja pie tās.
And at night, he brought in his daughter Leah to him,
24 Un Lābans deva savu kalponi Zilfu Leai, savai meitai, par kalponi.
giving his daughter a handmaid named Zilpah. After Jacob had gone in to her, according to custom, when morning had arrived, he saw Leah.
25 Un notikās rītā, un redzi, tā bija Lea. Tad viņš sacīja uz Lābanu: kam tu man to esi darījis? Vai es neesmu tev kalpojis par Rahēli; kam tu mani esi pievīlis?
And he said to his father-in-law, “What is it that you intended to do? Did I not serve you for Rachel? Why have you deceived me?”
26 Tad Lābans sacīja: mūsu zemē nemēdz izdot jaunāko priekš pirmdzimtās.
Laban responded, “It is not the practice in this place to give the younger in marriage first.
27 Beidz to nedēļu ar šo, tad es arī viņu tev došu par to kalpošanu, ko tu vēl citus septiņus gadus pie manis kalposi.
Complete a week of days with this mating. And then I will give this one to you also, for the service that you will provide to me for another seven years.”
28 Un Jēkabs tā darīja un beidza to nedēļu ar šo; tad Lābans tam deva Rahēli, savu meitu, par sievu.
He agreed to his pleading. And after the week had passed, he took Rachel as a wife.
29 Un Lābans deva savu kalponi Bilu Rahēlei par kalponi.
To her, the father had given Bilhah as her servant.
30 Un Jēkabs gāja arī pie Rahēles, un mīlēja Rahēli vairāk nekā Leū, un kalpoja pie Lābana vēl septiņus gadus.
And, having at last obtained the marriage he desired, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and he served with him another seven years.
31 Un Tas Kungs redzēja, ka Lea netapa cienīta; tad viņš to darīja auglīgu, bet Rahēle bija neauglīga.
But the Lord, seeing that he despised Leah, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.
32 Un Lea tapa grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Rūbenu; jo tā sacīja: Tas Kungs manas bēdas ir redzējis, jo nu mans vīrs mani mīļos.
Having conceived, she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Reuben, saying: “The Lord saw my humiliation; now my husband will love me.”
33 Un tā tapa atkal grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un sacīja: Tas Kungs dzirdējis, mani esam necienītu, viņš man arī šo ir devis; un tā nosauca viņa vārdu Sīmeanu.
And again she conceived and bore a son, and she said, “Because the Lord heard that I was treated with contempt, he has also given this one to me.” And she called his name Simeon.
34 Un tā tapa atkal grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un sacīja: nu jel mans vīrs mani mīlēs; jo es viņam esmu dzemdējusi trīs dēlus. Tādēļ tā nosauca viņa vārdu Levi.
And she conceived a third time, and she gave birth to another son, and she said: “Now likewise my husband will unite with me, because I have borne him three sons.” And because of this, she called his name Levi.
35 Un viņa tapa atkal grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un sacīja: šo brīdi es slavēšu To Kungu. Tādēļ tā viņa vārdu nosauca Jūdu. Un tā mitējās dzemdēt.
A fourth time she conceived and bore a son, and she said, “Only now will I confess to the Lord.” And for this reason, she called him Judah. And she ceased from child-bearing.
