Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the people of the east.
Тада се подиже Јаков и отиде у земљу источну.
2 He looked and saw a well in the field, and look, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well's mouth was large.
И обзирући се угледа студенац у пољу; и гле, три стада оваца лежаху код њега, јер се на оном студенцу појаху стада, а велики камен беше студенцу на вратима.
3 Now all the flocks would be gathered there, and they would roll the stone from the well's mouth, and water the sheep, and put the stone again on the well's mouth in its place.
Онде се скупљаху сва стада, те пастири одваљиваху камен с врата студенцу и појаху стада, и после опет приваљиваху камен на врата студенцу на његово место.
4 Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where are you from?" They said, "We are from Haran."
И Јаков им рече: Браћо, одакле сте? Рекоше: Из Харана смо.
5 He said to them, "Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."
А он им рече: Познајете ли Лавана сина Нахоровог? Они рекоше: Познајемо.
6 He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep."
Он им рече: Је ли здрав? Рекоше: Јесте, и ево Рахиље кћери његове, где иде са стадом.
7 He said, "Look, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them."
И он рече: Ето још је рано, нити је време враћати стоку; напојте стоку па идите и пасите је.
8 They said, "We can't, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep."
А они рекоше: Не можемо, докле се не скупе сва стада, да одвалимо камен с врата студенцу, онда ћемо напојити стоку.
9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was tending them.
Док он још говораше с њима, дође Рахиља са стадом оца свог, јер она пасаше овце.
10 It happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob went over and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
А кад Јаков виде Рахиљу кћер Лавана ујака свог, и стадо Лавана ујака свог, приступи Јаков и одвали камен студенцу с врата, и напоји стадо Лавана ујака свог.
11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and wept loudly.
И пољуби Јаков Рахиљу, и повикавши заплака се.
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. She ran and told her father.
И каза се Јаков Рахиљи да је род оцу њеном и да је син Ревечин; а она отрча те јави оцу свом.
13 It happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister's son, that he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.
А кад Лаван чу за Јакова сина сестре своје, истрча му на сусрет, и загрли га и пољуби, и уведе у своју кућу. И он приповеди Лавану све ово.
14 Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." He lived with him for a month.
А Лаван му рече: Та ти си кост моја и тело моје. И оста код њега цео месец дана.
15 Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be?"
Тада рече Лаван Јакову: Зар бадава да ми служиш, што си ми род? Кажи ми шта ће ти бити плата?
16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
А Лаван имаше две кћери: старијој беше име Лија, а млађој Рахиља.
17 Leah looked rather plain, but Rachel was beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance.
И у Лије беху кварне очи, а Рахиља беше лепог стаса и лепог лица.
18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter."
И Јакову омиле Рахиља, те рече: Служићу ти седам година за Рахиљу, млађу кћер твоју.
19 Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."
А Лаван му рече: Боље теби да је дам него другом; остани код мене.
20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and it seemed only a few days to him because of his love for her.
И одслужи Јаков за Рахиљу седам година, и учинише му се као неколико дана, јер је љубљаше.
21 Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my time is completed, so that I may sleep with her."
И рече Јаков Лавану: Дај ми жену, јер ми се наврши време, да легнем с њом.
22 Laban gathered together all the people of the place, and gave a feast.
И сазва Лаван све људе из оног места и учини гозбу.
23 It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he slept wit her.
А увече узе Лију кћер своју и уведе је к Јакову, и он леже с њом.
24 Laban gave Zilpah his female servant to his daughter Leah as a servant.
И Лаван даде Зелфу робињу своју Лији кћери својој да јој буде робиња.
25 It happened in the morning that, look, it was Leah. He said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not work for you to have Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"
А кад би ујутру, гле, оно беше Лија; те рече Јаков Лавану: Шта си ми то учинио? Не служим ли за Рахиљу код тебе? Зашто си ме преварио?
26 Laban said, "It is not our custom here to give the younger before the firstborn.
А Лаван му рече: Не бива у нашем месту да се уда млађа пре старије.
27 Finish the week of this one, and I will give you the other also in exchange for the work which you are to serve with me for another seven years."
Наврши недељу дана с том, па ћемо ти дати и другу за службу што ћеш служити код мене још седам година других.
28 Then Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
Јаков учини тако, и наврши с њом недељу дана, па му даде Лаван Рахиљу кћер своју за жену.
29 Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his female servant, to be her servant.
И даде Лаван Рахиљи кћери својој робињу своју Валу да јој буде робиња.
30 So he slept with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he worked with him another seven years.
И тако леже Јаков с Рахиљом; и вољаше Рахиљу него Лију, и стаде служити код Лавана још седам других година.
31 The LORD saw that Leah was unloved, so he made her fertile, but Rachel was barren.
А Господ видећи да Јаков не мари за Лију, отвори њој материцу, а Рахиља оста нероткиња.
32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, "Because God has looked at my affliction, and given me a son. For now my husband will love me."
И Лија затрудне, и роди сина, и надеде му име Рувим, говорећи: Господ погледа на јаде моје, сада ће ме љубити муж мој.
33 She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, "Because God has heard that I am unloved, he has therefore given me this son also." So she named him Simeon.
И опет затрудне, и роди сина и рече: Господ чу да сам презрена, па ми даде и овог. И надеде му име Симеун.
34 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "Now this time my husband will become attached to me, since I have given him three sons." Therefore he was named Levi.
И опет затрудне, и роди сина, и рече: Да ако се сада већ приљуби к мени муж мој, кад му родих три сина. Зато му надеше име Левије.
35 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "This time will I praise the LORD." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
И затрудне опет, и роди сина, и рече: Сада ћу хвалити Господа. Зато му надеде име Јуда; и преста рађати.
