< 1 Mojzes 29 >
1 Potem je Jakob odšel na svoje potovanje in prišel v deželo vzhodnega ljudstva.
And Jacob started and went to the land of the east to Laban, the son of Bathuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebecca, mother of Jacob and Esau.
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 looks, and behold! a well in the plain; and there were there three flocks of sheep resting at it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, but there was a great stone at the mouth of the well.
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 there were all the flocks gathered, and they used to roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the flocks, and set the stone again in its place on the mouth of the well.
4 Jakob jim je rekel: »Moji bratje, od kod ste?« Odgovorili so: »Iz Harána smo.«
And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are you? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
5 Rekel jim je: »Poznate Nahórjevega sina Labána?« Rekli so: »Poznamo ga.«
And he said to them, Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do 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 he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came 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 Jacob said, it is yet high day, it is not yet time that the flocks be gathered together; water you the flocks, and depart 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 shall not be able, until all the shepherds be gathered together, and they shall roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, then we will water the flocks.
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 to them, behold, Rachel the daughter of Laban came with her father's sheep, for she fed the sheep of her father.
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 came and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother.
11 Jakob je poljubil Rahelo in povzdignil svoj glas in zajokal.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud 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 he told Rachel that he was the near relative of her father, and the son of Rebecca; and she ran and reported to her father according to these words.
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 name of Jacob, his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him, and brought him into his house; and he told Laban all these sayings.
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, You are of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full 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, Surely you shall not serve me for nothing, because you are my brother; tell me what your reward is to be.
16 Labán pa je imel dve hčeri. Starejši je bilo ime Lea, ime mlajše pa je bilo Rahela.
Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
17 Lea je bila nežnih oči, toda Rahela je bila krasna in lepega videza.
And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
18 Jakob pa je ljubil Rahelo in rekel: »Sedem let ti bom služil za Rahelo, tvojo mlajšo hčer.«
And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.
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 to him, [It is] better that I should give her to you, than that I should give her to another man; dwell 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 for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving 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 marriage-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 was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to her.
24 In Labán je svoji hčeri Lei za pomočnico dal svojo služabnico Zilpo.
And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
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 was morning, and behold it was Lea; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this that you have done to me? did I not serve you for Rachel? and therefore have you deceived me?
26 Labán je rekel: »V naši deželi se ne sme tako storiti, da se mlajšo izroči pred prvorojeno.
And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
27 Dopolni njen teden in dali ti bomo tudi njo, za službo, ki jo boš služil z menoj še drugih sedem let.«
Fulfil then her sevens, and I will give to you her also in return for your labor, which you labor 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 sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
29 Labán je svoji hčeri Raheli dal svojo pomočnico Bilho, da postane njena služabnica.
And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
30 Odšel je tudi k Raheli in Rahelo je ljubil bolj kakor Leo in pri njem je služil še drugih sedem let.
And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
31 Ko je Gospod videl, da je bila Lea osovražena, je odprl njeno maternico, toda Rahela je bila jalova.
And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, 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 Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then 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 second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to me this one 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 yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; therefore she called his name, 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 having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased bearing.
