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 realized she was unable to give Jacob any children she was jealous of her sister. She complained to Jacob, “I'll die if you don't give me children!”
2 Jakobova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Rahelo in rekel je: » Sem jaz namesto Boga, ki je pred teboj zadržal sad tvoje maternice?«
Jacob became angry with Rachel and told her, “Am I God? Do you think I'm the one stopping you having children?”
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.«
“Here's my personal maid Bilhah,” Rachel replied. “Sleep with her and she can have children for me so I'll have a family too.”
4 In dala mu je za ženo Bilho, svojo pomočnico, in Jakob je šel noter k njej.
She gave her personal maid Bilhah to him as a wife and Jacob slept with her.
5 Bilha je spočela in Jakobu rodila sina.
Bilhah became pregnant and had a son for Jacob.
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 in my favor! He listened to me and gave me a son.” So she named him Dan.
7 Rahelina služabnica Bilha je ponovno spočela in Jakobu rodila drugega sina.
Rachel's personal maid Bilhah became pregnant again and had second son for Jacob.
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've had a hard struggle with my sister, but I've won.” 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.
Leah realized she wasn't having any more children, so she gave her personal maid Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.
10 Leina služabnica Zilpa je Jakobu rodila sina.
Zilpah had a son for Jacob.
11 Lea je rekla: »Prihaja krdelo, « in njegovo ime je imenovala Gad.
Leah said, “I'm really fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
12 Leina služabnica Zilpa je Jakobu rodila drugega sina.
Leah's personal maid Zilpah became pregnant again and had a second son for Jacob.
13 Lea je rekla: »Srečna sem, kajti hčere me bodo imenovale blagoslovljena, « in njegovo ime je imenovala Aser.
Leah said, “I'm so happy, and the other women will say I'm happy too!” 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.«
At the time of the wheat harvest Reuben found some mandrake plants when he was out in the fields. He took them back to his mother Leah. Rachel asked Leah, “Please give me some of the mandrakes your son found.”
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.«
“Aren't you satisfied with stealing my husband?” Leah replied. “Are you going to take my son's mandrakes too?” “Fine, he can sleep with you tonight if you give me some mandrakes in return,” Rachel responded.
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.
When Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. “You have to sleep with me because I've paid for you with my son's mandrakes,” she told him. So he slept with her that night.
17 Bog je prisluhnil Lei in je spočela in Jakobu rodila petega sina.
God heard Leah's request, and she became pregnant and had a fifth son for Jacob.
18 Lea je rekla: »Bog mi je dal najemnino, ker sem svojo deklo dala svojemu soprogu, « in njegovo ime je imenovala Isahár.
Leah said, “The Lord has rewarded me for giving my personal maid to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
19 Lea je ponovno spočela in Jakobu rodila šestega sina.
Then Leah became pregnant again and had a sixth son for 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 honor me because I've given him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.
21 Potem je rodila hčer in njeno ime je imenovala Dina.
Later she had a daughter she named Dinah.
22 Bog pa se je spomnil Rahele in Bog ji je prisluhnil ter odprl njeno maternico.
Then God paid attention to Rachel and listened to her appeals, and helped her to have children.
23 Spočela je in rodila sina in rekla: »Bog je odvzel mojo grajo, «
She became pregnant and had a son. “God has removed my disgrace,” she said.
24 in njegovo ime je imenovala Jožef; in rekla: » Gospod mi bo dodal [še] drugega sina.«
She named him Joseph, saying, “May the Lord give me an additional son.”
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.
Once Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me leave so I can return to my home and my own 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 children because I worked for you to have them. Let me go now because you know very well how much work I've done for 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.«
“Please be so kind as to stay,” Laban replied, “because I have discovered that the Lord has blessed me because of you.”
28 In rekel je: »Določi mi svoja plačila in dal ti jih bom.«
Then Laban continued, “Tell me how much to pay you and I'll give it to you.”
29 Rekel mu je: »Ti veš kako sem ti služil in kako je bila tvoja živina z menoj.
“You certainly know how much work I've done for you, and how well your flocks have done under my care.
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?«
You hardly had anything before I arrived, but now you have so much! The Lord has blessed you through what I've done. When am I going to be able to provide for my own family?”
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.
“Well, what do you propose I give you?” Laban asked again. “You don't have to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you want to do something for me, then how about this: I'll go on looking after your flocks, making sure they're fed.
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.
Let me go through your flocks today and take all the sheep that are speckled or spotted, and all the dark ones, as well as all the speckled and spotted goats. They'll 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.«
In the future you'll be able to prove that I've been honest. When you check my flock, any goats that don't have speckles or spots, or any sheep that aren't dark will be considered stolen from you.”
34 Labán je rekel: »Glej, hočem, da bi bilo glede na tvojo besedo.«
“Very good,” Laban agreed. “We'll do as you say.”
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.
However, the same day Laban went and removed all the striped and spotted male goats, all the speckled and spotted female goats, and all the dark sheep. He had his sons look after them and sent them away—
36 Med seboj in Jakobom je določil tri dni potovanja in Jakob je hranil preostanek Labánovih tropov.
a three day journey between them and Jacob, while Jacob was looking after 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.
Then Jacob cut some sticks from poplar, almond, and plane trees that had white wood under the bark. He peeled off some of the bark, making the sticks look streaked with white.
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 put the sticks he'd peeled in the water troughs where the flocks came to drink because that's where they mated.
39 Tropi so se obrejili pred palicami in skotili krožno progasto, lisasto in pikasto živino.
The flocks mated in front of the sticks and gave birth to young that were 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 all these ones out. Then he made his flock face towards those in Laban's flock that were streaked and dark. This is the way he kept his flocks apart from 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.
When the strong females were ready to breed, Jacob put the sticks in the troughs where the flocks could see them when they mated.
42 Toda ko je bila živina slabotna, jih ni polagal. Tako je bila slabotnejša živina Labánova, močnejša pa Jakobova.
He didn't do this for the weaker females. The weaker ones went to Laban, and the strong ones went to Jacob.
43 Mož je silno narasel in imel mnogo živine, dekel, slug, kamel in oslov.
In this way Jacob became an extremely rich man with large flocks, and many male and female slaves, camels, and donkeys.
