< 1 Mojzes 29 >

1 Potem je Jakob odšel na svoje potovanje in prišel v deželo vzhodnega ljudstva.
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
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.
He looked, and saw a well in the field, and saw 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.
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.
There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone back on the well’s mouth in its place.
4 Jakob jim je rekel: »Moji bratje, od kod ste?« Odgovorili so: »Iz Harána smo.«
Jacob said to them, “My relatives, where are you from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
5 Rekel jim je: »Poznate Nahórjevega sina Labána?« Rekli so: »Poznamo ga.«
He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
6 Rekel jim je: »Ali je zdrav?« Rekli so: »Zdrav je in glej, njegova hči Rahela prihaja z ovcami.«
He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming 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.«
He said, “Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go 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.«
They said, “We can’t, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth. Then we will water the sheep.”
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 with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them.
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.
When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
11 Jakob je poljubil Rahelo in povzdignil svoj glas in zajokal.
Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his 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.
Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.
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.
When Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.
14 In Labán mu je rekel: »Zagotovo si moja kost in moje meso.« In z njim je ostal čas enega meseca.
Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month.
15 Labán je rekel Jakobu: »Ker si moj brat, zakaj bi mi služil zaman? Povej mi kakšna naj bodo tvoja plačila?«
Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
16 Labán pa je imel dve hčeri. Starejši je bilo ime Lea, ime mlajše pa je bilo Rahela.
Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Lea je bila nežnih oči, toda Rahela je bila krasna in lepega videza.
Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.
18 Jakob pa je ljubil Rahelo in rekel: »Sedem let ti bom služil za Rahelo, tvojo mlajšo hčer.«
Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
19 Labán je rekel: »Bolje je to, da jo dam tebi, kakor da bi jo dal kateremukoli drugemu moškemu. Ostani z menoj.«
Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay 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.
Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
21 Jakob je rekel Labánu: »Daj mi mojo ženo, kajti moji dnevi so dopolnjeni, da lahko grem noter vanjo.«
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.
Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a 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.
In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.
24 In Labán je svoji hčeri Lei za pomočnico dal svojo služabnico Zilpo.
Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.
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?«
In the morning, behold, it was Leah! He said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Didn’t I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?”
26 Labán je rekel: »V naši deželi se ne sme tako storiti, da se mlajšo izroči pred prvorojeno.
Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Dopolni njen teden in dali ti bomo tudi njo, za službo, ki jo boš služil z menoj še drugih sedem let.«
Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me for seven more years.”
28 Jakob je storil tako in dopolnil njen teden, on pa mu je dal tudi svojo hčer Rahelo za ženo.
Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
29 Labán je svoji hčeri Raheli dal svojo pomočnico Bilho, da postane njena služabnica.
Laban gave Bilhah, his servant, to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.
30 Odšel je tudi k Raheli in Rahelo je ljubil bolj kakor Leo in pri njem je služil še drugih sedem let.
He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him seven more years.
31 Ko je Gospod videl, da je bila Lea osovražena, je odprl njeno maternico, toda Rahela je bila jalova.
The LORD saw that Leah was hated, and 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.«
Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because the LORD has looked at my affliction; for now 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.
She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him 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.
She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
35 Ponovno je spočela in rodila sina in rekla: »Sedaj bom hvalila Gospoda, « zato je njegovo ime poimenovala Juda; in prenehala je rojevati.
She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
