Genesis 29
1 Jacob continued on the road [MTY], and he arrived at the land that was east of Canaan.
Ja Jaakob lähti matkaan ja tuli Idän miesten maalle.
2 There he [was surprised to] see a well in a field, and three flocks of sheep were lying near the well. It was the well from which shepherds habitually got water for their sheep. There was a large stone covering the top of the well.
Ja katso, hän huomasi kedolla kaivon, ja katso, sen ääressä makasi kolme lammaslaumaa, sillä siitä kaivosta oli tapana juottaa laumoja. Ja kaivon suulla oli suuri kivi.
3 When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would work together to roll the stone away from the top of the well and get water for the sheep. When they finished doing that, they would put the stone back in its place over the top of the well.
Sentähden annettiin kaikkien laumojen kokoontua sinne ja sitten vieritettiin kivi kaivon suulta ja juotettiin lampaat, jonka jälkeen kivi taas pantiin paikoilleen kaivon suulle.
4 [On that day], Jacob asked the shepherds who were sitting there, “Where are you from?” They replied, “We are from Haran.”
Ja Jaakob sanoi heille: "Veljeni, mistä te olette?" He vastasivat: "Harranista olemme".
5 He asked them, “Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?” They replied, “Yes, we know him.”
Hän kysyi heiltä: "Tunnetteko Laabanin, Naahorin pojan?" He vastasivat: "Tunnemme".
6 Jacob asked them, “Is Laban well?” They replied, “Yes, he is well. Look! Here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep!”
Ja hän kysyi heiltä: "Voiko hän hyvin?" He vastasivat: "Hyvin hän voi; ja katso, Raakel, hänen tyttärensä, tulee tuolla lammasten kanssa".
7 Jacob said, “Hey! The sun is still high in the sky. It is not time for the flocks to be gathered for nighttime. Give the sheep some water and then take them back to (graze/eat grass) in the pastures!”
Hän sanoi: "Vielä on täysi päivä ja liian aikaista koota lauma; juottakaa lampaat ja viekää ne takaisin laitumelle".
8 They replied, “No, we cannot do that until all the flocks are gathered here and the stone is removed from the top of the well. After that, we will give water to the sheep.”
He vastasivat: "Emme voi, ennenkuin kaikki laumat ovat koolla ja kivi on vieritetty kaivon suulta; sitten juotamme lampaat".
9 While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep. She was the one who took care of her father’s sheep.
Hänen vielä puhuessaan heidän kanssaan tuli Raakel isänsä lammasten kanssa, sillä hänen oli tapana olla paimenessa.
10 When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, who was his mother’s brother, [Jacob was so excited that] he went over and [by himself] rolled away the stone that covered the top of the well, and he got water for his uncle’s sheep.
Kun Jaakob näki Raakelin, enonsa Laabanin tyttären, ja enonsa Laabanin lampaat, astui hän esiin ja vieritti kiven kaivon suulta ja juotti enonsa Laabanin lampaat.
11 Then Jacob kissed Rachel [on the cheek], and he cried loudly [because he was so happy].
Ja Jaakob suuteli Raakelia ja korotti äänensä ja itki.
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was one of her father’s relatives, the son of her aunt Rebekah. So she ran and told that to her father.
Niin Jaakob ilmoitti Raakelille, että hän oli hänen isänsä sukulainen ja Rebekan poika; ja Raakel riensi pois ja ilmoitti sen isällensä.
13 As soon as Laban heard that Jacob, his sister’s son, was there, he ran to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him [on the cheek]. Then he brought him to his home, and Jacob told him all that had happened to him.
Kun Laaban kuuli kerrottavan Jaakobista, sisarensa pojasta, riensi hän häntä vastaan, syleili ja suuteli häntä ja toi hänet kotiinsa; ja hän kertoi Laabanille kaikki, mitä oli tapahtunut.
14 Then Laban said to him, “Truly, you are part of my family!” After Jacob had stayed there and worked for Laban for a month,
Ja Laaban sanoi hänelle: "Niin, sinä olet minun luutani ja lihaani". Ja hän asui hänen luonaan kuukauden päivät.
15 Laban said to him “(You should not work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine!/Why should you work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine?) [RHQ] Tell me how much you want me to pay you.”
Ja Laaban sanoi Jaakobille: "Olet tosin sukulaiseni, mutta palvelisitko silti minua palkatta? Sano minulle, mikä on palkkasi oleva."
16 Well, Laban had two daughters. The older one was named Leah, and the younger one was named Rachel.
Mutta Laabanilla oli kaksi tytärtä; vanhemman nimi oli Leea, nuoremman nimi oli Raakel.
17 Leah had pretty eyes, but Rachel had a very attractive figure and was beautiful.
Ja Leealla oli sameat silmät, mutta Raakelilla oli kaunis vartalo ja kauniit kasvot.
18 Jacob (was in love with/wanted very much to be married to) Rachel, and he said, “I will work for you for seven years. That will be my payment for your letting me marry your younger daughter, Rachel.”
Ja Jaakob rakasti Raakelia; niin hän sanoi: "Minä palvelen sinua seitsemän vuotta saadakseni Raakelin, nuoremman tyttäresi".
19 Laban replied, “It is better for me to let you marry her than for her to marry some other man!”
Laaban vastasi: "Parempi on, että annan hänet sinulle, kuin että antaisin hänet jollekin toiselle; jää luokseni".
20 So Jacob worked for Laban for seven years to get Rachel, but to him it seemed like it was only a few days, because he loved her so much.
Jaakob palveli siis seitsemän vuotta saadakseen Raakelin, ja ne tuntuivat hänestä muutamilta päiviltä; niin hän rakasti häntä.
21 After the seven years were ended, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me marry Rachel now, because the time we agreed upon for me to work for you is ended, and I want to marry her. [EUP]”
Senjälkeen Jaakob sanoi Laabanille: "Anna minulle vaimoni, sillä aikani on nyt kulunut umpeen, mennäkseni hänen tykönsä".
22 So Laban gathered together all the people who lived in that area and made a feast.
Silloin Laaban kutsui kokoon kaikki sen paikkakunnan asukkaat ja laittoi pidot;
23 But that evening, instead of taking Rachel to Jacob, Laban took his older daughter, Leah, to him. But because it was already dark, he could not see that it was Leah and not Rachel, and he had sex [EUP] with her.
mutta illalla hän otti tyttärensä Leean ja vei hänet hänen luokseen; ja hän yhtyi häneen.
24 (Laban had already given his slave girl Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her maid/servant.)
Ja Laaban antoi orjattarensa Silpan tyttärellensä Leealle orjattareksi.
25 The next morning, Jacob was shocked to see that it was Leah who was with him! So he went to Laban [and told him] very angrily, “(What you have done to me is disgusting!/What is this that you have done to me?) [RHQ] I worked for you to get Rachel, did I not? So why did you deceive me?”
Aamulla hän näki, että se oli Leea. Ja hän sanoi Laabanille: "Mitä oletkaan minulle tehnyt? Olenhan palvellut sinua saadakseni Raakelin! Miksi petit minut?"
26 Laban replied, “In this land, it is not our custom to give a younger daughter to be married before we let someone marry our firstborn daughter.
Laaban vastasi: "Ei ole meidän maassamme tapana antaa nuorempaa ennen vanhempaa.
27 After we finish this week of celebration, we will let you marry the younger one also. But in return, you must pay for Rachel by working for me for another seven years.”
Vietä nyt vain tämä hääviikko loppuun, niin annetaan sinulle toinenkin, kunhan olet palveluksessani vielä toiset seitsemän vuotta."
28 So that is what Jacob did. After the week of celebration was ended, Laban gave him his daughter, Rachel, to be his wife.
Ja Jaakob suostui siihen, ja kun hän oli viettänyt sen viikon loppuun, antoi Laaban myöskin tyttärensä Raakelin hänelle vaimoksi.
29 Laban gave his slave girl, Bilhah, to Rachel to be her maid/servant.
Ja Laaban antoi orjattarensa Bilhan tyttärellensä Raakelille orjattareksi.
30 Jacob had sex [EUP] with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than he loved Leah. And Jacob worked for Laban for another seven years.
Ja hän yhtyi myös Raakeliin, ja Raakel oli hänelle rakkaampi kuin Leea; ja hän palveli Laabanin luona vielä toiset seitsemän vuotta.
31 When Yahweh saw that Jacob did not love Leah [very much], he enabled her to become pregnant. But Rachel was not able to become pregnant.
Ja kun Herra näki, että Leeaa hyljittiin, avasi hän hänen kohtunsa; mutta Raakel oli hedelmätön.
32 Leah gave birth to a son, whom she named Reuben, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘Look, a son]!’ She said, “Yahweh has seen that I was miserable, and because of that he has given me a son. Now, surely my husband will love me for giving birth to a son for him.”
Niin Leea tuli raskaaksi ja synnytti pojan ja antoi hänelle nimen Ruuben, sanoen: "Herra on nähnyt minun kurjuuteni; nyt on mieheni rakastava minua".
33 Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “Because Yahweh has heard that my husband doesn’t love me, he has given me this son, too.” So she named him Simeon, [which means ‘someone who hears’].
Ja hän tuli jälleen raskaaksi ja synnytti pojan ja sanoi: "Herra on kuullut, että minua hyljitään, ja on antanut minulle myös tämän". Niin hän antoi hänelle nimen Simeon.
34 Later she became pregnant again, and gave birth to another son. She said, “Now, finally, my husband will hold me close to him.” So she named him Levi, [which means ‘hold close’].
Ja hän tuli jälleen raskaaksi ja synnytti pojan ja sanoi: "Nyt kai mieheni vihdoinkin kiintyy minuun, sillä olenhan synnyttänyt hänelle kolme poikaa". Sentähden hän antoi hänelle nimen Leevi.
35 Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “(This time/Now) I will praise Yahweh.” So she called his name Judah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘praise’]. After that, she did not give birth to any more children [for several years].
Ja hän tuli vieläkin raskaaksi ja synnytti pojan ja sanoi: "Nyt minä kiitän Herraa". Sentähden hän antoi hänelle nimen Juuda. Sitten hän lakkasi synnyttämästä.
