< 1 Mojzes 29 >

1 Potem je Jakob odšel na svoje potovanje in prišel v deželo vzhodnega ljudstva.
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the sons of the east.
2 Pogledal je in na polju zagledal izvir in glej, tam so bili trije tropi ovac, ležeč pri njem, kajti iz tega izvira so napajali trope. Na vodnjakovih ustih pa je bil velik kamen.
And he looked, and, behold, a well in the field. And, lo, three flocks of sheep were lying there by it, for they watered the flocks out of that well. And the stone upon the well's mouth was great.
3 Tja so se zbirali vsi tropi in odvalili so kamen iz vodnjakovih ust, napojili ovce in kamen ponovno položili na vodnjakova usta, na njegovo mesto.
And all the flocks were gathered there. And they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in its place.
4 Jakob jim je rekel: »Moji bratje, od kod ste?« Odgovorili so: »Iz Harána smo.«
And Jacob said to them, My brothers, where are ye from? And they said, We are of Haran.
5 Rekel jim je: »Poznate Nahórjevega sina Labána?« Rekli so: »Poznamo ga.«
And he said to them, Do ye know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6 Rekel jim je: »Ali je zdrav?« Rekli so: »Zdrav je in glej, njegova hči Rahela prihaja z ovcami.«
And he said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well. And, behold, Rachel his daughter comes with the sheep.
7 Rekel je: »Glej, še dolg dan je niti ni čas, da bi se živina zbrala skupaj. Napojite ovce in odženite jih past.«
And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together. Water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
8 Rekli so: »Ne moremo, dokler se ne zberejo vsi tropi in dokler kamna ne odvalijo iz vodnjakovih ust. Potem napojimo ovce.«
And they said, We cannot until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep.
9 Medtem ko je še govoril z njimi, je prišla Rahela z ovcami svojega očeta, kajti ona jih je varovala.
While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.
10 Pripetilo se je, ko je Jakob opazil Rahelo, hčer materinega brata Labána in ovce materinega brata Labána, da se je Jakob približal in odvalil kamen od vodnjakovih ust in napojil trop Labána, brata svoje matere.
And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
11 Jakob je poljubil Rahelo in povzdignil svoj glas in zajokal.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 Jakob je Raheli povedal, da je brat njenega očeta in da je Rebekin sin. In ta je stekla ter povedala svojemu očetu.
And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. And she ran and told her father.
13 Pripetilo se je, ko je Labán slišal te novice o Jakobu, sinu svoje sestre, da je stekel, da ga sreča, ga objel, poljubil in privedel k svoji hiši. In Labánu je povedal vse te stvari.
And it came to pass, when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
14 In Labán mu je rekel: »Zagotovo si moja kost in moje meso.« In z njim je ostal čas enega meseca.
And Laban said to him, Surely thou are my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
15 Labán je rekel Jakobu: »Ker si moj brat, zakaj bi mi služil zaman? Povej mi kakšna naj bodo tvoja plačila?«
And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou are my brother, should thou therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16 Labán pa je imel dve hčeri. Starejši je bilo ime Lea, ime mlajše pa je bilo Rahela.
And Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Lea je bila nežnih oči, toda Rahela je bila krasna in lepega videza.
And Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
18 Jakob pa je ljubil Rahelo in rekel: »Sedem let ti bom služil za Rahelo, tvojo mlajšo hčer.«
And Jacob loved Rachel, and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Labán je rekel: »Bolje je to, da jo dam tebi, kakor da bi jo dal kateremukoli drugemu moškemu. Ostani z menoj.«
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man. Abide with me.
20 Jakob je sedem let služil za Rahelo in zdela so se mu [kot] le nekaj dni, zaradi ljubezni, ki jo je imel do nje.
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel. And they seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
21 Jakob je rekel Labánu: »Daj mi mojo ženo, kajti moji dnevi so dopolnjeni, da lahko grem noter vanjo.«
And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
22 Labán je zbral skupaj vse može tega kraja in priredil gostijo.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 Pripetilo pa se je zvečer, da je vzel svojo hčer Leo in jo privedel k njemu in on je šel noter k njej.
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. And he went in to her.
24 In Labán je svoji hčeri Lei za pomočnico dal svojo služabnico Zilpo.
And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.
25 Pripetilo se je zjutraj, glej, to je bila Lea, in Labánu je rekel: »Kaj je to, kar si mi storil? Ali nisem s teboj služil za Rahelo? Zakaj si me potem preslepil?«
And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou have done to me? Did I not serve with thee for Rachel? Why then have thou beguiled me?
26 Labán je rekel: »V naši deželi se ne sme tako storiti, da se mlajšo izroči pred prvorojeno.
And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Dopolni njen teden in dali ti bomo tudi njo, za službo, ki jo boš služil z menoj še drugih sedem let.«
Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shall serve with me yet seven other years.
28 Jakob je storil tako in dopolnil njen teden, on pa mu je dal tudi svojo hčer Rahelo za ženo.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. And he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife.
29 Labán je svoji hčeri Raheli dal svojo pomočnico Bilho, da postane njena služabnica.
And Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter, Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid.
30 Odšel je tudi k Raheli in Rahelo je ljubil bolj kakor Leo in pri njem je služil še drugih sedem let.
And he also went in to Rachel, and also he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31 Ko je Gospod videl, da je bila Lea osovražena, je odprl njeno maternico, toda Rahela je bila jalova.
And Jehovah saw that Leah was regarded inferior, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32 Lea je spočela, rodila sina in njegovo ime imenovala Ruben, kajti rekla je: »Zagotovo je Gospod pogledal na mojo stisko. Sedaj me bo torej moj soprog ljubil.«
And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben. For she said, Because Jehovah has looked upon my affliction, for now my husband will love me.
33 Ponovno je spočela in rodila sina ter rekla: »Ker je Gospod slišal, da sem bila osovražena, mi je zato dal tudi tega sina, « in njegovo ime je imenovala Simeon.
And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I am regarded inferior, he has therefore given me this son also. And she called his name Simeon.
34 Ponovno je spočela in rodila sina in rekla: »Torej tokrat bo moj soprog pridružen k meni, ker sem mu rodila tri sinove, « zato je bilo njegovo ime imenovano Lévi.
And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons. Therefore his name was called Levi.
35 Ponovno je spočela in rodila sina in rekla: »Sedaj bom hvalila Gospoda, « zato je njegovo ime poimenovala Juda; in prenehala je rojevati.
And she conceived again, and bore a son. And she said, This time I will praise Jehovah. Therefore she called his name Judah. And she left off bearing.
