1 Mojzes 30

1 Ko je Rahela videla, da Jakobu ne rojeva otrok, je Rahela zavidala svoji sestri in Jakobu rekla: »Daj mi otroke, sicer umrem.«

When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I will die."

2 Jakobova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Rahelo in rekel je: » Sem jaz namesto Boga, ki je pred teboj zadržal sad tvoje maternice?«

Then Jacob became very angry with Rachel, and he said, "Am I in God's place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"

3 Rekla je: »Glej, moja služabnica Bilha, pojdi noter vanjo in rodila bo na mojih kolenih, da bom po njej tudi jaz lahko imela otroke.«

She said, "Look, my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her, so that she will bear children for me, that I too may have children through her."

4 In dala mu je za ženo Bilho, svojo pomočnico, in Jakob je šel noter k njej.

So she gave him Bilhah her servant as a wife, and Jacob slept with her.

5 Bilha je spočela in Jakobu rodila sina.

Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

6 Rahela je rekla: »Bog me je sodil in je tudi slišal moj glas in mi dal sina, « zato je njegovo ime imenovala Dan.

Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son." Therefore she called his name Dan.

7 Rahelina služabnica Bilha je ponovno spočela in Jakobu rodila drugega sina.

Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.

8 Rahela je rekla: »Z velikimi boji sem se bojevala s svojo sestro in sem prevladala, « in njegovo ime je imenovala Neftáli.

Rachel said, "I have wrestled mightily with my sister, and have prevailed." So she named him Naphtali.

9 Ko je Lea videla, da je prenehala rojevati, je vzela svojo služabnico Zilpo in jo dala Jakobu za ženo.

When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

10 Leina služabnica Zilpa je Jakobu rodila sina.

Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bore Jacob a son.

11 Lea je rekla: »Prihaja krdelo, « in njegovo ime je imenovala Gad.

Leah said, "How fortunate." So she named him Gad.

12 Leina služabnica Zilpa je Jakobu rodila drugega sina.

Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore Jacob a second son.

13 Lea je rekla: »Srečna sem, kajti hčere me bodo imenovale blagoslovljena, « in njegovo ime je imenovala Aser.

Leah said, "Happy am I, for the women will call me happy." So she named him Asher.

14 Ruben je šel v dneh pšenične žetve in na polju našel nadliščke in jih prinesel svoji materi Lei. Potem je Rahela rekla Lei: »Daj mi, prosim te, nadliščke svojega sina.«

Reuben went out during the wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes."

15 Ta pa ji je rekla: » Je to majhna zadeva, da si mi vzela soproga? In hočeš mi vzeti tudi nadliščke mojega sina?« Rahela je rekla: »Zato bo to noč ležal s teboj za nadliščke tvojega sina.«

She said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes, also?" Rachel said, "Therefore he may sleep with you tonight for your son's mandrakes."

16 Jakob je zvečer prišel iz polja in Lea je odšla ven, da ga sreča ter mu rekla: »Moraš priti noter k meni, kajti zagotovo sem te najela z nadliščki svojega sina.« In to noč je ležal z njo.

Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must sleep with me; for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes." So he slept with her that night.

17 Bog je prisluhnil Lei in je spočela in Jakobu rodila petega sina.

God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

18 Lea je rekla: »Bog mi je dal najemnino, ker sem svojo deklo dala svojemu soprogu, « in njegovo ime je imenovala Isahár.

Leah said, "God has given me my wages, because I gave my servant to my husband." So she named him Issachar.

19 Lea je ponovno spočela in Jakobu rodila šestega sina.

Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.

20 Lea je rekla: »Bog me je opremil z dobro doto. Sedaj bo moj soprog prebival z menoj, ker sem mu rodila šest sinov« in njegovo ime je imenovala Zábulon.

Leah said, "God has given me a good gift. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons." So she named him Zebulun.

21 Potem je rodila hčer in njeno ime je imenovala Dina.

Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.

22 Bog pa se je spomnil Rahele in Bog ji je prisluhnil ter odprl njeno maternico.

God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and made her fertile.

23 Spočela je in rodila sina in rekla: »Bog je odvzel mojo grajo, «

She conceived, bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my shame."

24 in njegovo ime je imenovala Jožef; in rekla: » Gospod mi bo dodal [še] drugega sina.«

So she named him Joseph, saying, "May God add another son to me."

25 Pripetilo se je, ko je Rahela rodila Jožefa, da je Jakob rekel Labánu: »Pošlji me proč, da lahko grem na svoj lasten kraj in v svojo deželo.

It happened, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.

26 Daj mi moje žene in moje otroke, za katere sem ti služil in me pusti iti, kajti poznaš mojo službo, ki sem ti jo opravljal.«

Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know the service I have given you."

27 Labán mu je rekel: »Prosim te, če sem v tvojih očeh našel naklonjenost, ostani, kajti iz izkušnje sem se naučil, da me je Gospod zaradi tebe blagoslovil.«

Laban said to him, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have learned by divination that God has blessed me for your sake."

28 In rekel je: »Določi mi svoja plačila in dal ti jih bom.«

He said, "Name your wages, and I will pay it."

29 Rekel mu je: »Ti veš kako sem ti služil in kako je bila tvoja živina z menoj.

He said to him, "You know how I have served you, and how well your livestock have done with me.

30 Kajti bilo je malo, kar si imel, preden sem prišel in to je sedaj naraslo v množico in Gospod te je od mojega prihoda blagoslavljal. Kdaj bom torej poskrbel tudi za svojo lastno hišo?«

For you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly. And God has blessed you wherever I worked. Now when will I also provide for my own household?"

31 In rekel je: »Kaj naj ti dam?« Jakob je rekel: »Nobene stvari mi ne boš dal. Če hočeš zame storiti to stvar, bom ponovno pasel in varoval tvoj trop.

He said, "What should I give you?" Jacob said, "You do not need to give me anything. If you will do this one thing for me, I will again pasture your flock and take care of it.

32 Danes pojdem skozi ves tvoj trop in iz njega odstranim vso lisasto in pikasto živino in vso rjavo živino med ovcami in pikasto ter lisasto med kozami. Od teh bo moja najemnina.

I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my wages.

33 Tako bo moja pravičnost odgovarjala zame v času, ki pride, ko bo prišel, za moj najem pred tvojim obrazom. Vse, kar ni lisasto in pikasto med kozami in rjavo med ovcami, to bo pri meni šteto za ukradeno.«

So my honesty will testify for me later on, when the subject of my wages comes before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep that I have in my possession, will be counted as stolen."

34 Labán je rekel: »Glej, hočem, da bi bilo glede na tvojo besedo.«

Laban said, "Look, let it be as you have said."

35 In ta dan je odstranil kozle, ki so bili krožno progasti in pikasti in vse koze, ki so bile lisaste in pikaste in vsako, ki je imela na sebi nekaj belega in vse rjavo med ovcami in jih dal v roko svojih sinov.

That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and put them in the care of his sons.

36 Med seboj in Jakobom je določil tri dni potovanja in Jakob je hranil preostanek Labánovih tropov.

He set three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob pastured the rest of Laban's flocks.

37 Jakob si je vzel šibe zelenega topola in od leskovega in kostanjevega drevesa in na njih olupil bele proge in storil, da se prikaže belina, ki je bila na šibah.

Jacob took fresh branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white streaks by peeling them, exposing white stripes on the branches.

38 Palice, ki jih je olupil, je postavljal pred trope v žlebove, v napajalna korita, ko so tropi prišli, da pijejo, da bi se obrejili, ko so prišli pit.

He set up the peeled branches which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the troughs, that is, the watering places where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink,

39 Tropi so se obrejili pred palicami in skotili krožno progasto, lisasto in pikasto živino.

the flocks bred in front of the branches, and the flocks brought bore streaked, speckled, and spotted.

40 Jakob je v Labánovem tropu ločeval jagnjeta in postavljal obraze tropov h krožno progastemu in vsemu rjavemu. Svoje lastne trope pa je spravljal posebej in jih ni spravljal v Labánovo živino.

Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laban. So he kept his own flocks separate, and did not put them into Laban's flock.

41 Pripetilo se je, da kadarkoli se je brejila močnejša živina, je Jakob polagal šibe pred očmi živine v žlebove, da bi se lahko obrejile med palicami.

It happened, whenever the stronger of the flock were breeding, that Jacob would set up the branches in front of the flock in the troughs, so that they would breed near the branches;

42 Toda ko je bila živina slabotna, jih ni polagal. Tako je bila slabotnejša živina Labánova, močnejša pa Jakobova.

but for the weaker of the flock, he did not put them there. So the weaker would be Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.

43 Mož je silno narasel in imel mnogo živine, dekel, slug, kamel in oslov.

Thus the man became very rich, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
