उत्पत्ति 30
1 १ याकोबापासून आपल्याला मुल होत नाहीत हे पाहिल्यावर राहेल आपली बहीण लेआ हिचा मत्सर करू लागली; तेव्हा राहेल याकोबाला म्हणाली, “मला मुल द्या, नाही तर मी मरेन.”
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 २ याकोबाचा राहेलवर राग भडकला. तो म्हणाला, “ज्याने तुला मुल होण्यापासून रोखून धरले आहे, त्या देवाच्या ठिकाणी मी आहे की काय?”
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 ३ ती म्हणाली, “पाहा, माझी दासी बिल्हा आहे. तुम्ही तिच्या जवळ जा म्हणजे मग ती माझ्या मांडीवर मुलाला जन्म देईल व तिजपासून मलाही मुले मिळतील.”
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).”
So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
6 ६ मग राहेल म्हणाली, “देवाने माझे ऐकले आहे. त्याने माझा आवाज नक्कीच ऐकला आहे आणि मला मुलगा दिला आहे.” म्हणून तिने त्याचे नाव दान ठेवले.
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’].
Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
8 ८ राहेल म्हणाली, “मी माझ्या बहिणीशी प्रबळ स्पर्धा करून लढा दिला व विजय मिळवला आहे.” तिने त्याचे नाव नफताली ठेवले.
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 ९ जेव्हा लेआने पाहिले की, आता आपल्याला मुले होण्याचे थांबले आहे. तेव्हा तिने आपली दासी जिल्पा हिला घेतले आणि याकोबाला पत्नी म्हणून दिली.
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.
Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
13 १३ लेआ म्हणाली, “मी आनंदी आहे! इतर स्त्रिया मला आनंदी म्हणतील” म्हणून तिने त्याचे नाव आशेर ठेवले.
Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
14 १४ गहू कापणीच्या हंगामाच्या दिवसात रऊबेन शेतात गेला आणि त्यास पुत्रदात्रीची फळे सापडली. त्याने ती आपली आई लेआ हिच्याकडे आणून दिली. नंतर राहेल लेआस म्हणाली, “तुझा मुलगा रऊबेन याने आणलेल्या पुत्रदात्रीच्या फळातून मला काही दे.”
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 १५ लेआ तिला म्हणाली, “तू माझ्या नवऱ्याला माझ्यापासून घेतलेस हे काय कमी झाले? आता माझ्या मुलाची पुत्रदात्रीची फळेही तू घेतेस काय?” राहेल म्हणाली, “तुझ्या मुलाची पुत्रदात्रीची फळे मला देशील तर त्याच्या बदल्यात आज रात्री तो तुझ्याबरोबर झोपेल.”
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 १६ संध्याकाळी याकोब शेतावरून आला. तेव्हा लेआ त्यास भेटण्यास बाहेर गेली व ती म्हणाली, “आज रात्री तुम्ही माझ्याबरोबर झोपणार आहात, कारण माझ्या मुलाची पुत्रदात्रीची फळे देऊन मी तुम्हास मोलाने घेतले आहे.” तेव्हा याकोब त्या रात्री लेआपाशी झोपला.
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.
God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
18 १८ लेआ म्हणाली, “देवाने माझे वेतन मला दिले आहे कारण मी माझी दासी माझ्या नवऱ्याला दिली.” तेव्हा तिने आपल्या मुलाचे नाव इस्साखार ठेवले.
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’].
Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
20 २० लेआ म्हणाली, “देवाने मला उत्तम देणगी दिली आहे. आता माझा पती माझा आदर करील कारण मी त्याच्या सहा मुलांना जन्म दिला आहे.” तिने त्याचे नाव जबुलून ठेवले.
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’].
Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
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].”
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 २५ मग राहेलीला योसेफ झाल्यानंतर याकोब लाबानाला म्हणाला, “मला माझ्या स्वतःच्या घरी आणि माझ्या देशात मला पाठवा.
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 २६ ज्यांच्यासाठी मी तुमची सेवा केली आहे त्या माझ्या स्त्रिया आणि माझी मुले द्या आणि मला जाऊ द्या, कारण मी तुमची सेवा कशी केली आहे हे तुम्हास माहीत आहे.”
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 २७ लाबान त्यास म्हणाला, “परमेश्वराने केवळ तुझ्यामुळे मला आशीर्वादित केले आहे हे मी जाणतो. जर तुझ्या दृष्टीने माझ्यावर तुझी कृपा असेल तर आता थांब.”
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.
Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”
29 २९ याकोब त्यास म्हणाला, “मी तुमची सेवा केली आहे आणि तुझी गुरेढोरे माझ्याजवळ कशी होती हे तुम्हास माहीत आहे.
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 ३० मी येण्यापूर्वी तुम्हापाशी फार थोडी होती. आणि आता भरपूर वाढली आहेत. मी जेथे जेथे काम केले तेथे तेथे परमेश्वराने तुम्हास आशीर्वादित केले आहे. आता मी माझ्या स्वतःच्या घराची तरतूद कधी करू?”
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 ३१ म्हणून लाबान म्हणाला, “मी तुला काय देऊ?” याकोब म्हणाला, “तुम्ही मला काही देऊ नका. जर तुम्ही माझ्यासाठी ही गोष्ट कराल तर मी पूर्वीप्रमाणे आपले कळप चारीन व सांभाळीन.
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 ३२ परंतु आज मला तुमच्या सगळ्या कळपात फिरून त्यातील मेंढरांपैकी ठिपकेदार व प्रत्येक काळे व तपकरी असलेली मेंढरे व शेळ्यांतून तपकरी आणि काळ्या रंगाची ही मी बाजूला करीन; हेच माझे वेतन असेल.
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 ३३ त्यानंतर तुमच्यापुढे असलेल्या माझ्या वेतनाविषयी हिशोब घ्यायला याल तेव्हा माझा प्रामाणिकपणा माझ्याकरिता साक्ष देईल, जर त्यामध्ये तुम्हास माझ्याजवळच्या शेळ्यांतले जे प्रत्येक ठिपकेदार व तपकरी नाही व मेंढरांतले जे काळे नाही ते आढळले, तर ते मी चोरले आहे असे समजावे.”
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.”
Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
35 ३५ परंतु त्याच दिवशी लाबानाने ठिपकेदार व बांडे एडके तसेच ठिपकेदार व बांड्या शेळ्या आणि मेंढरापैकी काळी मेंढरे कळपातून काढून लपवली, गुपचूप ती आपल्या मुलांच्या हवाली केली व त्यावर लक्ष ठेवून त्यांना सांभाळण्यास सांगितले;
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 ३६ तेव्हा लाबानाने आपल्यामध्ये व याकोबामध्ये तीन दिवसाचे अंतर ठेवले. याकोब लाबानाचे बाकीचे कळप चारीत राहिला.
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 ३७ मग याकोबाने हिवर व बदाम व अर्मोन या झाडांच्या हिरव्या कोवळ्या फांद्या कापून घेतल्या, त्याने त्यांच्या साली, त्याचे आतील पांढरे पट्टे दिसेपर्यंत त्या सोलून काढल्या.
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 ३८ त्याने त्या पांढऱ्या फांद्या किंवा पांढरे फोक कळपांच्या समोर पाणी पिण्याच्या टाक्यात ठेवले जेव्हा शेळ्यामेंढ्या पाणी पिण्यास तेथे येत तेव्हा त्यांच्यावर त्याचे नर उडत व त्या फळत.
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 ३९ तेव्हा त्या काठ्यांपाशी शेळ्यामेंढ्यांचे कळप फळले आणि त्या कळपात बांडी व ठिपकेदार, तपकरी अशी पिल्ले झाली.
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 ४० याकोब कळपातील इतर जनावरांतून ठिपकेदार, पांढऱ्या ठिपक्यांची व काळी करडी कोकरे लाबानाच्या कळपापासून वेगळी करून ठेवत असे.
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 ४१ जेव्हा जेव्हा कळपातील चांगली पोसलेली जनावरे फळत असत तेव्हा तेव्हा याकोब त्या पांढऱ्या फांद्या त्यांच्या नजरेसमोर ठेवी आणि मग ती जनावरे त्या फांद्यांसमोर फळत.
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 ४२ परंतु जेव्हा दुर्बल जनावरे फळत तेव्हा याकोब त्यांच्या नजरेसमोर त्या झाडांच्या फांद्या ठेवत नसे. म्हणून मग अशक्त नर-माद्यापासून झालेली करडी, कोकरे लाबानाची होत. आणि सशक्त नर-माद्यांपासून झालेली करडी, कोकरे याकोबाची होत.
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 ४३ अशा प्रकारे याकोब संपन्न झाला. त्याच्यापाशी शेरडेमेंढरे, उंट, गाढवे व दासदासी हे सर्व भरपूर होते.
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.
