Genesis 30

Vidjevši Rahela da Jakovu ne rađa djece, postade zavidna svojoj sestri pa reče Jakovu: "Daj mi djecu! Inače ću svisnuti!"

And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.

Jakov se razljuti na Rahelu te reče. "Zar sam ja namjesto Boga koji ti je uskratio plod utrobe?"

And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?

A ona odgovori: "Evo moje sluškinje Bilhe: uđi k njoj, pa neka rodi na mojim koljenima, da tako i ja steknem djecu po njoj."

And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.

Dade mu dakle svoju sluškinju Bilhu za ženu, i Jakov priđe k njoj.

And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.

Bilha zače te Jakovu rodi sina.

And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.

Tada Rahela reče: "Jahve mi je dosudio pravo. Uslišao je moj glas i dao mi sina." Stoga mu nadjenu ime Dan.

And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.

Rahelina sluškinja Bilha opet zače i rodi Jakovu drugoga sina.

And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.

Tada Rahela reče: "Žestoko sam se borila sa sestrom, ali sam pobijedila." Tako mu nadjenu ime Naftali.

And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.

A vidjevši Lea da je prestala rađati, uzme svoju sluškinju Zilpu pa je dade Jakovu za ženu.

When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.

I kad je Leina sluškinja Zilpa rodila Jakovu sina,

And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.

Lea uskliknu: "Koje sreće!" Tako mu nadjenu ime Gad.

And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.

Leina sluškinja Zilpa rodi Jakovu i drugog sina,

And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.

i Lea opet uskliknu: "Blago meni! Žene će me zvati blaženom!" Tako mu nadjenu ime Ašer.

And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.

Jednoga dana, u vrijeme pšenične žetve, namjeri se Ruben u polju na ljubavčice te ih donese svojoj majci Lei. I Rahela reče Lei: "Daj mi od ljubavčica svoga sina!"

And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.

A Lea odgovori: "Zar ti nije dosta što si mi oduzela muža pa još hoćeš da od mene uzmeš i ljubavčice moga sina?" Rahela odgovori: "Pa dobro, neka s tobom noćas leži u zamjenu za ljubavčice tvog sina."

And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.

Kad je Jakov navečer stigao iz polja, Lea mu iziđe u susret pa reče: "Treba da dođeš k meni, jer sam te unajmila za ljubavčice moga sina." One je noći on s njom ležao.

And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.

Bog usliša Leu; ona zače te Jakovu rodi petog sina.

And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.

Onda Lea reče: "Bog mi je uzvratio nagradom što sam ustupila svoju sluškinju svome mužu." Stoga sinu nadjenu ime Jisakar.

And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.

Lea opet zače i rodi Jakovu šestoga sina.

And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.

Onda Lea reče: "Bog me obdari dragocjenim darom; sada će mi moj muž dati darove: tÓa rodila sam mu šest sinova." Tako mu nadjenu ime Zebulun.

And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.

Zatim rodi kćer te joj nadjenu ime Dina.

And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

Uto se Bog sjeti Rahele: Bog je usliša i otvori njezinu utrobu.

And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.

Ona zače i rodi sina te reče: "Ukloni Bog moju sramotu!"

And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:

Nadjene mu ime Josip, rekavši: "Neka mi Jahve pridoda drugog sina!"

And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.

Pošto je Rahela rodila Josipa, Jakov reče Labanu: "Pusti me da idem u svoj zavičaj!

And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.

Daj mi moje žene za koje sam te služio i moju djecu da mogu otići: tÓa dobro znaš kako sam te služio."

Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.

A Laban mu odgovori: "Ne idi, ako si mi prijatelj. Znam da me Jahve blagoslivljao zbog tebe."

And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.

I nadoda: "Odredi plaću koju želiš od mene, i dat ću ti."

And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.

On mu odgovori: "Ti dobro znaš što je moja služba značila za te i kako je tvome blagu bilo sa mnom.

And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.

Malenkost što si je imao prije nego sam ja došao povećala se vrlo mnogo, jer kuda god sam prolazio Jahve te blagoslivljao na mojim koracima. A sad je vrijeme da poradim i za svoj dom."

For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?

On upita: "Koliko da ti platim?" Jakov odgovori: "Nemoj mi platiti ništa! Ako mi učiniš ovo, opet ću na pašu goniti i čuvati tvoje stado.

And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:

Daj da prođem danas kroz tvoje stado i od njega izlučim svaku garavu ovcu i svaku šarenu ili napruganu kozu! Neka to bude moja plaća!

I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.

A ubuduće kad budeš svojim očima provjeravao moju naplatu, moje će poštenje biti svjedok za mene: nađe li se među mojim kozama ijedna koja ne bude šarena ili naprugana, ili među ovcama koja ne bi bila garava, neka se smatra ukradenom!"

So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.

Laban reče: "Dobro, neka bude kako si kazao."

And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.

Ali toga dana Laban izluči naprugane i šarene jarce i sve riđaste i šarene koze - svaku koja je na sebi imala bijelo - i sve garave ovce pa ih preda svojim sinovima.

And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

I odande gdje je Jakov pasao ostatak Labanova stada udalji se za koja tri dana hoda.

And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.

A Jakov uzme zelenih mladica od topola, badema i platana; na njima izreza bijele pruge, otkrivši bjeliku na mladicama.

And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.

Pruće tako isprugano postavi u korita, u pojila iz kojih se stoka napajala. A kako se stoka parila kad je na vodu dolazila,

And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.

to su se jarci parili uz pruće, pa su koze kozile prugaste, riđaste i šarene kozliće.

And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.

Tako je i ovce Jakov bio izlučio i glave im okrenuo prema prugastima ili posve garavima što su bile u Labanovu stadu. Tako je za se namicao posebna stada koja nije miješao s Labanovim stadima.

And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.

Osim toga, kad bi se god dobro uzrasla stoka parila, Jakov bi stavio pruće u korita, baš pred oči živine, tako da se pari pred prućem.

And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.

Ali ga pred kržljavu marvu nije stavljao. Tako je kržljava zapadala Labana, a dobro razvijena Jakova.

But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.

Čovjek se tako silno obogatio, stekao mnogu stoku, sluge i sluškinje, deve i magarad.

And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
