< Postanak 30 >

1 A Rahilja vidjevši gdje ne raða djece Jakovu, pozavidje sestri svojoj; i reèe Jakovu: daj mi djece, ili æu umrijeti.
And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
2 A Jakov se rasrdi na Rahilju, i reèe: zar sam ja a ne Bog koji ti ne da poroda?
And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's position, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?
3 A ona reèe: eto robinje moje Vale, lezi s njom, neka rodi na mojim koljenima, pa æu i ja imati djece od nje.
And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
4 I dade mu Valu robinju svoju za ženu, i Jakov leže s njom.
And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
5 I zatrudnje Vala, i rodi Jakovu sina.
And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
6 A Rahilja reèe: Gospod mi je sudio i èuo glas moj, te mi dade sina. Zato mu nadjede ime Dan.
And Rachel said, God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
7 I Vala robinja Rahiljina zatrudnje opet, i rodi drugoga sina Jakovu;
And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
8 A Rahilja reèe: borah se žestoko sa sestrom svojom, ali odoljeh. I nadjede mu ime Neftalim.
And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
9 A Lija vidjevši gdje presta raðati uze Zelfu robinju svoju i dade je Jakovu za ženu.
When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
10 I rodi Zelfa robinja Lijina Jakovu sina;
And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
11 I Lija reèe: doðe èeta. I nadjede mu ime Gad.
And Leah said, A troop comes: and she called his name Gad.
12 Opet rodi Zelfa robinja Lijina drugoga sina Jakovu;
And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
13 I reèe Lija: blago meni, jer æe me blaženom zvati žene. Zato mu nadjede ime Asir.
And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
14 A Ruvim izide u vrijeme žetve pšeniène i naðe mandragoru u polju, i donese je Liji materi svojoj. A Rahilja reèe Liji: daj mi mandragoru sina svojega.
And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray you, of your son's mandrakes.
15 A ona joj reèe: malo li ti je što si mi uzela muža? hoæeš da mi uzmeš i mandragoru sina mojega? A Rahilja joj reèe: neka noæas spava s tobom za mandragoru sina tvojega.
And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that you have taken my husband? and would you take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with you to night for your son's mandrakes.
16 I uveèe kad se Jakov vraæaše iz polja, izide mu Lija na susret i reèe: spavaæeš kod mene, jer te kupih za mandragoru sina svojega. I spava kod nje onu noæ.
And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, You must come in unto me; for surely I have hired you with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
17 A Bog usliši Liju, te ona zatrudnje, i rodi Jakovu petoga sina.
And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
18 I reèe Lija: Gospod mi dade platu moju što dadoh robinju svoju mužu svojemu. I nadjede mu ime Isahar.
And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
19 I zatrudnje Lija opet, i rodi Jakovu šestoga sina;
And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
20 I reèe Lija: dariva me Gospod darom dobrijem; da ako se sada veæ priljubi k meni muž moj, jer mu rodih šest sinova. Zato mu nadjede ime Zavulon.
And Leah said, God has imbued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
21 Najposlije rodi kæer, i nadjede joj ime Dina.
And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
22 Ali se Gospod opomenu Rahilje; i uslišiv je otvori joj matericu;
And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
23 I zatrudnje, i rodi sina, i reèe: uze Bog sramotu moju.
And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God has taken away my reproach:
24 I nadjede mu ime Josif, govoreæi: neka mi doda Gospod još jednoga sina.
And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
25 A kad Rahilja rodi Josifa, reèe Jakov Lavanu: pusti me da idem u svoje mjesto i u svoju zemlju.
And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
26 Daj mi žene moje, za koje sam ti služio, i djecu moju, da idem, jer znaš kako sam ti služio.
Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, and let me go: for you know my service which I have done you.
27 A Lavan mu reèe: nemoj, ako sam našao milost pred tobom; vidim da me je blagoslovio Gospod tebe radi.
And Laban said unto him, I pray you, if I have found favour in your eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.
28 I još reèe: išti koliko hoæeš plate, i ja æu ti dati.
And he said, Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.
29 A Jakov mu odgovori: ti znaš kako sam ti služio i kakva ti je stoka postala kod mene.
And he said unto him, You know how I have served you, and how your cattle was with me.
30 Jer je malo bilo što si imao dokle ja ne doðoh; ali se umnoži veoma, jer te Gospod blagoslovi kad ja doðoh. Pa kad æu i ja tako sebi kuæu kuæiti?
For it was little which you had before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD has blessed you since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
31 I reèe mu Lavan: šta hoæeš da ti dam? A Jakov odgovori: ne treba ništa da mi daš; nego æu ti opet pasti stoku i èuvati, ako æeš mi uèiti ovo:
And he said, What shall I give you? And Jacob said, You shall not give me any thing: if you will do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep your flock.
32 Da zaðem danas po svoj stoci tvojoj, i odluèim sve što je šareno i s biljegom, i sve što je crno izmeðu ovaca, i što je s biljegom i šareno izmeðu koza, pa što poslije bude tako, ono da mi je plata.
I will pass through all your flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
33 Tako æe mi se poslije posvjedoèiti pravda moja pred tobom kad doðeš da vidiš zaslugu moju: što god ne bude šareno ni s biljegom ni crno izmeðu ovaca i koza u mene, biæe kradeno.
So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before your face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
34 A Lavan reèe: eto, neka bude kako si kazao.
And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to your word.
35 I odluèi Lavan isti dan jarce s biljegom i šarene i sve koze s biljegom i šarene, i sve na èem bijaše što bijelo, i sve crno izmeðu ovaca, i predade sinovima svojim.
And he removed that day the he goats that were striped with bands and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
36 I ostavi daljine tri dana hoda izmeðu sebe i Jakova. I Jakov pasijaše ostalu stoku Lavanovu.
And he set three days' journey between himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
37 I uze Jakov zelenijeh prutova topolovijeh i ljeskovijeh i kestenovijeh, i naguli ih do bjeline koja bješe na prutovima.
And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and stripped white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
38 I metaše naguljene prutove pred stoku u žljebove i korita kad dolažaše stoka da pije, da bi se upaljivala kad doðe da pije.
And he set the rods which he had stripped before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
39 I upaljivaše se stoka gledajuæi u prutove, i što se mlaðaše bijaše s biljegom, prutasto i šareno.
And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle striped with bands, speckled, and spotted.
40 I Jakov odluèivaše mlad, i obraæaše stado Lavanovo da gleda u šarene i u sve crne; a svoje stado odvajaše i ne obraæaše ga prema stadu Lavanovu.
And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped with bands, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
41 I kad se god upaljivaše stoka rana, metaše Jakov prutove u korita pred oèi stoci da bi se upaljivala gledajuæi u prutove;
And it came to pass, whenever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
42 A kad se upaljivaše pozna stoka, ne metaše; tako pozne bivahu Lavanove a rane Jakovljeve.
But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
43 I tako se taj èovjek obogati vrlo, te imaše mnogo stoke i sluga i sluškinja i kamila i magaraca.
And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and male servants, and camels, and asses.
