Pirmā Mozus 29
1 Un Jēkabs cēlās kājās un gāja uz to ļaužu zemi, kas pret rītiem,
Jacob continued on the road [MTY], and he arrived at the land that was east of Canaan.
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.
There he [was surprised to] see a well in a field, and three flocks of sheep were lying near the well. It was the well from which shepherds habitually got water for their sheep. There was a large stone covering the top of the well.
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.
When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would work together to roll the stone away from the top of the well and get water for the sheep. When they finished doing that, they would put the stone back in its place over the top of the well.
4 Tad Jēkabs uz tiem sacīja: brāļi, no kurienes jūs esat? Un tie sacīja: mēs esam no Hāranas.
[On that day], Jacob asked the shepherds who were sitting there, “Where are you from?” They replied, “We are from Haran.”
5 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: vai jūs pazīstat Lābanu, Nahora dēlu? Un tie sacīja: pazīstam gan.
He asked them, “Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?” They replied, “Yes, 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.
Jacob asked them, “Is Laban well?” They replied, “Yes, he is well. Look! Here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep!”
7 Un viņš sacīja: redzi, saule vēl ir gabalā, vēl nav laiks lopus pārdzīt, dzirdinājiet tās avis un ejat un paganiet tās.
Jacob said, “Hey! The sun is still high in the sky. It is not time for the flocks to be gathered for nighttime. Give the sheep some water and then take them back to (graze/eat grass) in the pastures!”
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 replied, “No, we cannot do that until all the flocks are gathered here and the stone is removed from the top of the well. After that, we will give water to the sheep.”
9 Kad viņš vēl ar tiem runāja, tad nāca Rahēle ar avīm, kas viņas tēvam piederēja, jo viņa tās ganīja.
While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep. She was the one who took care of her father’s sheep.
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 saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, who was his mother’s brother, [Jacob was so excited that] he went over and [by himself] rolled away the stone that covered the top of the well, and he got water for his uncle’s sheep.
11 Un Jēkabs skūpstīja Rahēli un pacēla savu balsi un raudāja.
Then Jacob kissed Rachel [on the cheek], and he cried loudly [because he was so happy].
12 Un Jēkabs sacīja Rahēlei, ka esot viņas tēva radinieks un Rebekas dēls, tad tā tecēja un to pasacīja savam tēvam.
Jacob told Rachel that he was one of her father’s relatives, the son of her aunt Rebekah. So she ran and told that 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.
As soon as Laban heard that Jacob, his sister’s son, was there, he ran to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him [on the cheek]. Then he brought him to his home, and Jacob told him all that had happened to him.
14 Un Lābans uz viņu sacīja: tiešām, tu esi no maniem kauliem un no manas miesas; un viņš pie tā palika veselu mēnesi.
Then Laban said to him, “Truly, you are part of my family!” After Jacob had stayed there and worked for Laban for a month,
15 Un Lābans sacīja uz Jēkabu: jebšu tu esi mans radinieks, vai tādēļ: tu man velti kalpotu? Saki man, kādu algu tu prasi?
Laban said to him “(You should not work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine!/Why should you work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine?) [RHQ] Tell me how much you want me to pay you.”
16 Un Lābanam bija divas meitas; tās vecākās vārds bija Lea un tās jaunākās vārds bija Rahēle.
Well, Laban had two daughters. The older one was named Leah, and the younger one was named Rachel.
17 Leas acis bija pavājas, bet Rahēle bija skaista no auguma un ģīmja.
Leah had pretty eyes, but Rachel had a very attractive figure and was beautiful.
18 Un Jēkabs mīlēja Rahēli un sacīja: es tev gribu kalpot septiņus gadus par Rahēli, tavu jaunāko meitu.
Jacob (was in love with/wanted very much to be married to) Rachel, and he said, “I will work for you for seven years. That will be my payment for your letting me marry your younger daughter, Rachel.”
19 Tad Lābans sacīja: Labāki es to dodu tev, nekā citam vīram; paliec pie manis.
Laban replied, “It is better for me to let you marry her than for her to marry some other man!”
20 Un Jēkabs kalpoja par Rahēli septiņus gadus; tās likās kādas dienas vien esam, tik mīļa tā viņam bija.
So Jacob worked for Laban for seven years to get Rachel, but to him it seemed like it was only a few days, because he loved her so much.
21 Un Jēkabs sacīja uz Lābanu: dod man manu sievu, jo manas dienas ir pilnas, ka es pie tās eju.
After the seven years were ended, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me marry Rachel now, because the time we agreed upon for me to work for you is ended, and I want to marry her. [EUP]”
22 Tad Lābans sapulcēja visus tās vietas ļaudis un taisīja dzīres.
So Laban gathered together all the people who lived in that area and made a feast.
23 Un vakarā viņš ņēma savu meitu Leū un to ieveda pie viņa, un Jēkabs gāja pie tās.
But that evening, instead of taking Rachel to Jacob, Laban took his older daughter, Leah, to him. But because it was already dark, he could not see that it was Leah and not Rachel, and he had sex [EUP] with her.
24 Un Lābans deva savu kalponi Zilfu Leai, savai meitai, par kalponi.
(Laban had already given his slave girl Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her maid/servant.)
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?
The next morning, Jacob was shocked to see that it was Leah who was with him! So he went to Laban [and told him] very angrily, “(What you have done to me is disgusting!/What is this that you have done to me?) [RHQ] I worked for you to get Rachel, did I not? So why did you deceive me?”
26 Tad Lābans sacīja: mūsu zemē nemēdz izdot jaunāko priekš pirmdzimtās.
Laban replied, “In this land, it is not our custom to give a younger daughter to be married before we let someone marry our firstborn daughter.
27 Beidz to nedēļu ar šo, tad es arī viņu tev došu par to kalpošanu, ko tu vēl citus septiņus gadus pie manis kalposi.
After we finish this week of celebration, we will let you marry the younger one also. But in return, you must pay for Rachel by working for 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.
So that is what Jacob did. After the week of celebration was ended, Laban gave him his daughter, Rachel, to be his wife.
29 Un Lābans deva savu kalponi Bilu Rahēlei par kalponi.
Laban gave his slave girl, Bilhah, to Rachel to be her maid/servant.
30 Un Jēkabs gāja arī pie Rahēles, un mīlēja Rahēli vairāk nekā Leū, un kalpoja pie Lābana vēl septiņus gadus.
Jacob had sex [EUP] with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than he loved Leah. And Jacob worked for Laban for another seven years.
31 Un Tas Kungs redzēja, ka Lea netapa cienīta; tad viņš to darīja auglīgu, bet Rahēle bija neauglīga.
When Yahweh saw that Jacob did not love Leah [very much], he enabled her to become pregnant. But Rachel was not able to become pregnant.
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.
Leah gave birth to a son, whom she named Reuben, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘Look, a son]!’ She said, “Yahweh has seen that I was miserable, and because of that he has given me a son. Now, surely my husband will love me for giving birth to a son for him.”
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.
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “Because Yahweh has heard that my husband doesn’t love me, he has given me this son, too.” So she named him Simeon, [which means ‘someone who hears’].
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.
Later she became pregnant again, and gave birth to another son. She said, “Now, finally, my husband will hold me close to him.” So she named him Levi, [which means ‘hold close’].
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.
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “(This time/Now) I will praise Yahweh.” So she called his name Judah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘praise’]. After that, she did not give birth to any more children [for several years].
