< Postanak 30 >

1 A Rahilja vidjevši gdje ne raða djece Jakovu, pozavidje sestri svojoj; i reèe Jakovu: daj mi djece, ili æu umrijeti.
When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I will die.”
2 A Jakov se rasrdi na Rahilju, i reèe: zar sam ja a ne Bog koji ti ne da poroda?
Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in God’s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
3 A ona reèe: eto robinje moje Vale, lezi s njom, neka rodi na mojim koljenima, pa æu i ja imati djece od nje.
She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.”
4 I dade mu Valu robinju svoju za ženu, i Jakov leže s njom.
She gave him Bilhah her servant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
5 I zatrudnje Vala, i rodi Jakovu sina.
Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
6 A Rahilja reèe: Gospod mi je sudio i èuo glas moj, te mi dade sina. Zato mu nadjede ime 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 I Vala robinja Rahiljina zatrudnje opet, i rodi drugoga sina Jakovu;
Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
8 A Rahilja reèe: borah se žestoko sa sestrom svojom, ali odoljeh. I nadjede mu ime Neftalim.
Rachel said, “I have wrestled with my sister with mighty wrestlings, and have prevailed.” She named him Naphtali.
9 A Lija vidjevši gdje presta raðati uze Zelfu robinju svoju i dade je Jakovu za ženu.
When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
10 I rodi Zelfa robinja Lijina Jakovu sina;
Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a son.
11 I Lija reèe: doðe èeta. I nadjede mu ime Gad.
Leah said, “How fortunate!” She named him Gad.
12 Opet rodi Zelfa robinja Lijina drugoga sina Jakovu;
Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a second son.
13 I reèe Lija: blago meni, jer æe me blaženom zvati žene. Zato mu nadjede ime Asir.
Leah said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She named him Asher.
14 A Ruvim izide u vrijeme žetve pšeniène i naðe mandragoru u polju, i donese je Liji materi svojoj. A Rahilja reèe Liji: daj mi mandragoru sina svojega.
Reuben went in the days of 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 A ona joj reèe: malo li ti je što si mi uzela muža? hoæeš da mi uzmeš i mandragoru sina mojega? A Rahilja joj reèe: neka noæas spava s tobom za mandragoru sina tvojega.
Leah 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 will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”
16 I uveèe kad se Jakov vraæaše iz polja, izide mu Lija na susret i reèe: spavaæeš kod mene, jer te kupih za mandragoru sina svojega. I spava kod nje onu noæ.
Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, “You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” He lay with her that night.
17 A Bog usliši Liju, te ona zatrudnje, i rodi Jakovu petoga sina.
God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
18 I reèe Lija: Gospod mi dade platu moju što dadoh robinju svoju mužu svojemu. I nadjede mu ime Isahar.
Leah said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my servant to my husband.” She named him Issachar.
19 I zatrudnje Lija opet, i rodi Jakovu šestoga sina;
Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
20 I reèe Lija: dariva me Gospod darom dobrijem; da ako se sada veæ priljubi k meni muž moj, jer mu rodih šest sinova. Zato mu nadjede ime Zavulon.
Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun.
21 Najposlije rodi kæer, i nadjede joj ime Dina.
Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.
22 Ali se Gospod opomenu Rahilje; i uslišiv je otvori joj matericu;
God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
23 I zatrudnje, i rodi sina, i reèe: uze Bog sramotu moju.
She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
24 I nadjede mu ime Josif, govoreæi: neka mi doda Gospod još jednoga sina.
She named him Joseph, saying, “May the LORD add another son to me.”
25 A kad Rahilja rodi Josifa, reèe Jakov Lavanu: pusti me da idem u svoje mjesto i u svoju zemlju.
When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
26 Daj mi žene moje, za koje sam ti služio, i djecu moju, da idem, jer znaš kako sam ti služio.
Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”
27 A Lavan mu reèe: nemoj, ako sam našao milost pred tobom; vidim da me je blagoslovio Gospod tebe radi.
Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.”
28 I još reèe: išti koliko hoæeš plate, i ja æu ti dati.
He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
29 A Jakov mu odgovori: ti znaš kako sam ti služio i kakva ti je stoka postala kod mene.
Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
30 Jer je malo bilo što si imao dokle ja ne doðoh; ali se umnoži veoma, jer te Gospod blagoslovi kad ja doðoh. Pa kad æu i ja tako sebi kuæu kuæiti?
For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. The LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”
31 I reèe mu Lavan: šta hoæeš da ti dam? A Jakov odgovori: ne treba ništa da mi daš; nego æu ti opet pasti stoku i èuvati, ako æeš mi uèiti ovo:
Laban said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
32 Da zaðem danas po svoj stoci tvojoj, i odluèim sve što je šareno i s biljegom, i sve što je crno izmeðu ovaca, i što je s biljegom i šareno izmeðu koza, pa što poslije bude tako, ono da mi je plata.
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 hire.
33 Tako æe mi se poslije posvjedoèiti pravda moja pred tobom kad doðeš da vidiš zaslugu moju: što god ne bude šareno ni s biljegom ni crno izmeðu ovaca i koza u mene, biæe kradeno.
So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be considered stolen.”
34 A Lavan reèe: eto, neka bude kako si kazao.
Laban said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”
35 I odluèi Lavan isti dan jarce s biljegom i šarene i sve koze s biljegom i šarene, i sve na èem bijaše što bijelo, i sve crno izmeðu ovaca, i predade sinovima svojim.
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 gave them into the hand of his sons.
36 I ostavi daljine tri dana hoda izmeðu sebe i Jakova. I Jakov pasijaše ostalu stoku Lavanovu.
He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
37 I uze Jakov zelenijeh prutova topolovijeh i ljeskovijeh i kestenovijeh, i naguli ih do bjeline koja bješe na prutovima.
Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, and plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
38 I metaše naguljene prutove pred stoku u žljebove i korita kad dolažaše stoka da pije, da bi se upaljivala kad doðe da pije.
He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
39 I upaljivaše se stoka gledajuæi u prutove, i što se mlaðaše bijaše s biljegom, prutasto i šareno.
The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks produced streaked, speckled, and spotted.
40 I Jakov odluèivaše mlad, i obraæaše stado Lavanovo da gleda u šarene i u sve crne; a svoje stado odvajaše i ne obraæaše ga prema stadu Lavanovu.
Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in Laban’s flock. He put his own droves apart, and didn’t put them into Laban’s flock.
41 I kad se god upaljivaše stoka rana, metaše Jakov prutove u korita pred oèi stoci da bi se upaljivala gledajuæi u prutove;
Whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, Jacob laid the rods in front of the eyes of the flock in the watering troughs, that they might conceive among the rods;
42 A kad se upaljivaše pozna stoka, ne metaše; tako pozne bivahu Lavanove a rane Jakovljeve.
but when the flock were feeble, he didn’t put them in. So the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
43 I tako se taj èovjek obogati vrlo, te imaše mnogo stoke i sluga i sluškinja i kamila i magaraca.
The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
