Pirmā Mozus 30
1 Kad nu Rahēle redzēja, ka tā Jēkabam nedzemdēja, tad tā apskauda savu māsu un sacīja uz Jēkabu: dabū man bērnus, bet ja ne, tad man jāmirst.
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 Tad Jēkabs apskaitās uz Rahēli un sacīja: vai es esmu Dieva vietā, kas tev miesas augļus liedzis?
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 Un tā sacīja: redzi, še ir mana kalpone Bilha, ej pie tās, ka tā uz manu klēpi dzemdē, un es arīdzan caur viņu augļojos.
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 Un viņa tam deva Bilu, savu kalponi par sievu, un Jēkabs gāja pie tās.
So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
5 Un Bilha tapa grūta un dzemdēja Jēkabam dēlu.
She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
6 Tad Rahēle sacīja: Dievs man tiesu ir iznesis un arī manu balsi paklausījis un man dēlu devis. Tādēļ tā viņa vārdu nosauca Danu.
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 Un Bilha, Rahēles kalpone, tapa atkal grūta un dzemdēja Jēkabam otru dēlu.
Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
8 Tad Rahēle sacīja: Dieva cīnīšanos esmu cīnījusies ar savu māsu un arī uzvarējusi, - un nosauca viņa vārdu Naftali.
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 Kad nu Lea redzēja, ka bija mitējusies dzemdēt, tad tā arīdzan ņēma savu kalponi Zilfu un to Jēkabam deva par sievu.
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 Un Zilfa, Leas kalpone, dzemdēja Jēkabam dēlu.
Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
11 Tad Lea sacīja: laime, - un nosauca viņa vārdu Gadu.
Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
12 Un Zilfa, Leas kalpone, dzemdēja Jēkabam otru dēlu.
Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
13 Tad Lea sacīja: labi man, jo meitas mani teiks svētīgu, - un tā nosauca viņa vārdu Ašeru.
Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
14 Un Rūbens gāja kviešu pļaujamā laikā un atrada dudaīm (mīlestības ābols) laukā un atnesa tos Leai, savai mātei, un Rahēle sacīja uz Leū: dod man jel no tava dēla dudaīm.
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 Un viņa uz to sacīja: vai tā ir maza lieta, ka tu manu vīru esi atņēmusi, un tu arī mana dēla dudaīm gribi ņemt? Tad Rahēle sacīja: tam būs šo nakti pie tevis gulēt par tava dēla dudaīm.
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 Kad nu Jēkabs vakarā no lauka nāca, tad Lea tam izgāja pretī un sacīja: tev būs nākt pie manis, jo es tevi ar maksu esmu saderējusi par sava dēla dudaīm. Un viņš pie tās gulēja tanī naktī.
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 Un Dievs paklausīja Leū, un tā tapa grūta un dzemdēja Jēkabam piekto dēlu.
God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
18 Tad Lea sacīja: Dievs man to atmaksājis, ka es savam vīram esmu devusi savu kalponi, - un tā nosauca viņa vārdu Īsašaru.
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 Un Lea tapa atkal grūta un dzemdēja Jēkabam sesto dēlu.
Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
20 Tad Lea sacīja: Dievs mani apdāvinājis ar labu dāvanu, nu mans vīrs pie manis dzīvos, tāpēc, ka es viņam esmu dzemdējusi sešus dēlus - un tā nosauca viņa vārdu Zebulonu.
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 Un pēc tam viņa dzemdēja meitu un nosauca viņas vārdu Dinu.
Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
22 Un Dievs pieminēja Rahēli un paklausīja viņu un darīja viņu auglīgu.
Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
23 Un viņa tapa grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un sacīja: Dievs manu apsmieklu no manis atņēmis.
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 Un tā nosauca viņa vārdu Jāzepu, sacīdama: lai Tas Kungs mani apdāvina vēl ar citu dēlu.
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 Un notikās, kad Rahēle Jāzepu bija dzemdējusi, tad Jēkabs sacīja uz Lābanu: atlaid mani, ka es noeju uz savu vietu savā zemē,
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 Dod man manas sievas un manus bērnus, kuru dēļ tev esmu kalpojis, tad es iešu, jo tu gan zini to kalpošanu, ko tev esmu kalpojis.
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 Un Lābans uz to sacīja: kaut es būtu atradis žēlastību tavās acīs! - es esmu nopratis, ka Tas Kungs mani tevis dēļ ir svētījis.
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 Un viņš sacīja: prasi savu algu no manis, tad es to došu.
Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”
29 Un tas uz viņu sacīja: tu zini, kā es tev esmu kalpojis, un kā tavi lopi pie manis ir izdevušies.
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 Jo priekš manas atnākšanas tev bija mazums, un tas ir lielā pulkā vairojies, un Tas Kungs tevi svētījis caur maniem soļiem; un nu, kad tad man būs apgādāt savu namu?
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 Un viņš sacīja: ko lai tev dodu? Tad Jēkabs sacīja: tev man nekā nav jādod; ja tu man šo darīsi, tad es atkal ganīšu un sargāšu tavas avis.
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 Es izstaigāšu šodien pa visu tavu ganāmo pulku un atšķiršu no turienes visus raibos un lāsainos un visus melnos starp jēriem un visus lāsainos un raibos starp kazām, - un tās būs man par algu.
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 Tad mana taisnība liecinās par mani nākamās dienās, kad tu nāksi, manu algu raudzīt: viss, kas nav raibs un lāsains starp kazām un melns starp jēriem, to es būšu zadzis.
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 Tad Lābans sacīja: redzi, lai jel notiek pēc tava vārda.
Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
35 Un viņš atšķīra tanī dienā tos lāsainos un raibos āžus, un visas lāsainās un raibās kazas, visu, pie kā bija baltums, un visu, kas bija melns starp jēriem, un viņš tos iedeva savu bērnu rokā;
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 Un lika starpu treju dienu gājumā starp sevi un Jēkabu. Un Jēkabs ganīja Lābana citas avis.
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 Tad Jēkabs ņēma rīkstes no zaļām apsēm un mandeļu kokiem un kļavām, un nodrāza tām baltas strīpas, atklādams to baltumu pie tām rīkstēm.
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 Un tos kociņus, ko bija nomizojis, viņš ielika ūdens silēs un dzeramos traukos avīm priekšā, ka tās nākdamas dzert apietos.
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 Un tās avis apgājās pār tām rīkstēm, un vedās strīpainas, lāsainas un raibas.
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 Un Jēkabs šķīra tos jērus, un lika tām mātēm skatīties uz tām strīpainām un melnām starp Lābana avīm, un lika savus ganāmos pulkus atsevišķi, un nelika tos pie Lābana avīm.
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 Un notikās allažiņ, kad tās agrās avis apgājās, tad Jēkabs to avju priekšā tos kociņus ielika ūdens silēs, ka tās pār tiem kokiem apietos.
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 Bet kad tās vēlās avis apgājās, tad Jēkabs tos kociņus nelika iekšā, tad tie atpīļi(vājie) kļuva Lābanam un tie agrējie(spēcīgie) Jēkabam.
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 Un tas vīrs auga ļoti varens, un tam bija daudz avju, kalpoņu un kalpu, kamieļu un ēzeļu.
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.
