Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the people of the east.
Jakov nastavi put i dođe u zemlju istočnu.
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.
Najednom opazi studenac u polju. Tri su stada ovaca oko njega plandovala, jer se na tome studencu napajahu. Velik se kamen nalazio studencu na otvoru.
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.
Jedino kad bi se svi pastiri ondje skupili, mogli bi odvaliti kamen s otvora i ovce napojiti; tada bi opet prevalili kamen na njegovo mjesto, na otvor studenca.
4 Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where are you from?" They said, "We are from Haran."
“Odakle ste, braćo moja?” - zapita ih Jakov. “Iz Harana”, odgovore.
5 He said to them, "Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."
“Poznajete li”, pitaše ih dalje, “Nahorova sina Labana?” “Poznajemo”, odgovore.
6 He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep."
“Je li zdravo?” - opet ih upita. “Zdravo je; a evo mu dolazi kći Rahela sa stadom”, odgovore.
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."
“Još ima mnogo dana”, nastavi on, “nije vrijeme spraćati blago. Zašto ga ne napojite i ne otjerate na pašu?”
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."
“Ne možemo dok se ne skupe svi pastiri”, odgovoriše, “da odvale kamen s otvora studenca, tako da mognemo napojiti ovce.”
9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was tending them.
Dok je on još s njima govorio, dođe Rahela s ovcama svoga oca. Bila je, naime, pastirica.
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.
Kako Jakov ugleda Rahelu, kćer Labana, brata svoje majke, sa stadom svoga ujaka Labana, Jakov se primače i odvali kamen s otvora studenca te napoji stado svoga ujaka Labana.
11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and wept loudly.
Zatim Jakov poljubi Rahelu, a onda briznu u plač.
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. She ran and told her father.
Potom Jakov kaza Raheli da je on sestrić njezina oca, sin Rebekin. Nato ona otrča i obavijesti oca.
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.
Kad je Laban čuo vijest o Jakovu, sinu svoje sestre, potrča mu u susret. Zagrli ga i poljubi te dovede u svoju kuću. Ispriča Labanu sve što mu se dogodilo.
14 Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." He lived with him for a month.
A onda Laban reče. “Zbilja si ti moja kost i moje meso!” Pošto je Jakov proboravio s Labanom mjesec dana,
15 Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be?"
Laban reče Jakovu: “Zar ćeš me zato što si mi sestrić badava služiti! Kaži mi koliko ćeš tražiti za najam?”
16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
A Laban imaše dvije kćeri. Starijoj bijaše ime Lea, a mlađoj Rahela.
17 Leah looked rather plain, but Rachel was beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance.
Lea imala slabe oči, a Rahela bila stasita i lijepa.
18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter."
Kako je Jakov volio Rahelu, reče: “Služit ću ti sedam godina za tvoju mlađu kćer Rahelu.”
19 Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."
Laban odvrati: “Bolje je da je tebi dam nego kakvu strancu. Ostani sa mnom!”
20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and it seemed only a few days to him because of his love for her.
Tako je Jakov služio za Rahelu sedam godina, ali mu se učinile, zbog ljubavi prema njoj, kao nekoliko dana.
21 Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my time is completed, so that I may sleep with her."
Poslije toga Jakov reče Labanu: “Daj mi moju ženu, jer se moje vrijeme navršilo pa bih htio k njoj.”
22 Laban gathered together all the people of the place, and gave a feast.
Laban sabra sav svijet onog mjesta i priredi gozbu.
23 It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he slept wit her.
Ali navečer uzme svoju kćer Leu pa nju uvede k Jakovu, i on priđe k njoj.
24 Laban gave Zilpah his female servant to his daughter Leah as a servant.
Laban dade svoju sluškinju Zilpu svojoj kćeri Lei za sluškinju.
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?"
Kad bi ujutro, a to, gle, Lea! Tada Jakov reče Labanu: “Zašto si mi to učinio! Zar te ja nisam služio za Rahelu? Zašto si me prevario?”
26 Laban said, "It is not our custom here to give the younger before the firstborn.
Laban odgovori: “U našem mjestu nije običaj da se mlađa udaje prije starije.
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."
Završi s njom ovu ženidbenu sedmicu, a onda ću ti dati i drugu, za drugih sedam godina službe kod mene.” Jakov pristane: navrši onu ženidbenu sedmicu.
28 Then Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
Onda mu Laban dade i svoju kćer Rahelu za ženu.
29 Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his female servant, to be her servant.
Laban dade svoju sluškinju Bilhu svojoj kćeri Raheli za sluškinju.
30 So he slept with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he worked with him another seven years.
Jakov nato priđe Raheli. Rahelu je više volio nego Leu. I tako je služio Labana još sedam godina.
31 The LORD saw that Leah was unloved, so he made her fertile, but Rachel was barren.
Jahve je vidio da Lea nije voljena, te je učini plodnom, dok Rahela ostade nerotkinja.
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."
Lea zače i rodi sina; nadjenu mu ime Ruben, a to znači, kako je ona protumačila: “Jahve je vidio moju nevolju i stoga će me sada muž moj ljubiti.”
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.
Opet zače i rodi sina te izjavi: “Jahve je čuo da nisam voljena, stoga mi je dao i ovoga.” Zato mu nadjenu ime Šimun.
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.
Opet zače i rodi sina te izjavi: “Sad će se moj muž meni prikloniti: tri sam mu sina rodila.” Zato mu nadjenu ime Levi.
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.
A kad je još jednom začela i sina rodila, izjavi: “Ovaj put hvalit ću Jahvu.” Stoga sinu nadjenu ime Juda. Potom prestade rađati.
