Genesis 29
1 Jacob went quickly on his way, and arrived in the land of the eastern people.
Tada se podiže Jakov i otide u zemlju istoènu.
2 As he looked around he saw a well in a field with three flocks of sheep lying down beside it, waiting to be given water. A large stone covered the top of the well.
I obziruæi se ugleda studenac u polju; i gle, tri stada ovaca ležahu kod njega, jer se na onom studencu pojahu stada, a veliki kamen bijaše studencu na vratima.
3 The usual practice was that once all the flocks had arrived, the shepherds would roll away the stone from the well and give their sheep water. Then they would put the stone back again.
Ondje se skupljahu sva stada, te pastiri odvaljivahu kamen s vrata studencu i pojahu stada, i poslije opet privaljivahu kamen na vrata studencu na njegovo mjesto.
4 Jacob asked them, “My brothers, where are you from?” “We're from Haran,” they replied.
I Jakov im reèe: braæo, odakle ste? Rekoše: iz Harana smo.
5 “Do you know Laban, Nahor's grandson?” he asked. “Yes, we know him,” they replied.
A on im reèe: poznajete li Lavana sina Nahorova? Oni rekoše: poznajemo.
6 “How is he?” he asked. “He's well,” they replied. “Look! In fact here's his daughter Rachel coming with the sheep right now.”
On im reèe: je li zdrav? Rekoše: jest, i evo Rahilje kæeri njegove, gdje ide sa stadom.
7 “Look, there's still plenty of daylight left,” said Jacob. “It's too early to round up the sheep yet. Why not let them drink so they can go back to grazing?”
I on reèe: eto još je rano, niti je vrijeme vraæati stoku; napojte stoku pa idite i pasite je.
8 “We can't do that until all the flocks have arrived,” they told him. “Then we roll away the stone from the well and let the sheep drink.”
A oni rekoše: ne možemo, dokle se ne skupe sva stada, da odvalimo kamen s vrata studencu, onda æemo napojiti stoku.
9 While he was still talking with them Rachel arrived with the flock she was looking after for her father.
Dok on još govoraše s njima, doðe Rahilja sa stadom oca svojega, jer ona pasijaše ovce.
10 When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, he went over and rolled away the stone from the well so Laban's sheep could drink.
A kad Jakov vidje Rahilju kæer Lavana ujaka svojega, i stado Lavana ujaka svojega, pristupi Jakov i odvali kamen studencu s vrata, i napoji stado Lavana ujaka svojega.
11 Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept for joy.
I poljubi Jakov Rahilju, i povikavši zaplaka se.
12 (He had told her that he was the son of Laban's brother and Rebekah.) She ran and told her father what had happened.
I kaza se Jakov Rahilji da je rod ocu njezinu i da je sin Reveèin; a ona otrèa te javi ocu svojemu.
13 As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob he ran out to meet him. He hugged him and kissed him, and took him home. After Jacob had explained everything to Laban,
A kad Lavan èu za Jakova sina sestre svoje, istrèa mu na susret, i zagrli ga i poljubi, i uvede u svoju kuæu. I on pripovjedi Lavanu sve ovo.
14 Laban told him, “No question about it—you're my own flesh and blood!” Jacob stayed with Laban for a month.
A Lavan mu reèe: ta ti si kost moja i tijelo moje. I osta kod njega cio mjesec dana.
15 One day Laban said to him, “You're my relative so you shouldn't be working for me for nothing! Tell me, what should I pay you?”
Tada reèe Lavan Jakovu: zar badava da mi služiš, što si mi rod? Kaži mi šta æe ti biti plata?
16 Laban had two daughters. The older one was Leah, and the younger one was Rachel.
A Lavan imaše dvije kæeri: starijoj bješe ime Lija, a mlaðoj Rahilja.
17 Leah had kind eyes, but Rachel had a shapely figure and beautiful looks.
I u Lije bjehu kvarne oèi, a Rahilja bješe lijepa stasa i lijepa lica.
18 Jacob was in love with Rachel so he promised Laban, “I'll do seven years work for you for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
I Jakovu omilje Rahilja, te reèe: služiæu ti sedam godina za Rahilju, mlaðu kæer tvoju.
19 “Well it's better for me to give her to you than anyone else,” Laban replied. “So stay here and work for me.”
A Lavan mu reèe: bolje tebi da je dam nego drugom; ostani kod mene.
20 Jacob worked for Laban for seven years, but to him they seemed like just a few days because he really loved her.
I otsluži Jakov za Rahilju sedam godina, i uèiniše mu se kao nekoliko dana, jer je ljubljaše.
21 Then Jacob said to Laban, “I've completed the time we agreed. Now give me your daughter to be my wife.”
I reèe Jakov Lavanu: daj mi ženu, jer mi se navrši vrijeme, da legnem s njom.
22 So Laban organized a wedding banquet and invited everyone around to come.
I sazva Lavan sve ljude iz onoga mjesta i uèini gozbu.
23 But once it was dark Laban brought his daughter Leah to Jacob, and he slept with her.
A uveèe uze Liju kæer svoju i uvede je k Jakovu, i on leže s njom.
24 (Laban also arranged for his servant Zilpah to be Leah's personal maid.)
I Lavan dade Zelfu robinju svoju Liji kæeri svojoj da joj bude robinja.
25 When morning came, he saw it was Leah! He went to Laban and asked angrily, “What have you done to me? It was for Rachel that I worked for you! Why have you deceived me?”
A kad bi ujutru, gle, ono bješe Lija; te reèe Jakov Lavanu: šta si mi to uèinio? ne služim li za Rahilju kod tebe? zašto si me prevario?
26 “Here we don't give the younger daughter in marriage before the firstborn,” Laban replied.
A Lavan mu reèe: ne biva u našem mjestu da se uda mlaða prije starije.
27 “Finish this week of wedding celebrations and then I'll give you the other daughter as well, as long as you work another seven years for me.”
Navrši nedjelju dana s tom, pa æemo ti dati i drugu za službu što æeš služiti kod mene još sedam godina drugih.
28 Jacob agreed. He finished the week of wedding celebrations for Leah, and then Laban gave Jacob his daughter Rachel as his wife as well.
Jakov uèini tako, i navrši s njom nedjelju dana, pa mu dade Lavan Rahilju kæer svoju za ženu.
29 (Laban also arranged for his servant Bilhah to be Rachel's personal maid.)
I dade Lavan Rahilji kæeri svojoj robinju svoju Valu da joj bude robinja.
30 So Jacob slept with Rachel as well, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. He worked for Laban another seven years for Rachel.
I tako leže Jakov s Rahiljom; i voljaše Rahilju nego Liju, i stade služiti kod Lavana još sedam drugih godina.
31 The Lord saw that Leah wasn't loved he helped Leah to have children, but not Rachel.
A Gospod videæi da Jakov ne mari za Liju, otvori njojzi matericu, a Rahilja osta nerotkinja.
32 Leah became pregnant, and had a son she named Reuben, for she said, “The Lord saw how much I was suffering and now my husband will love me!”
I Lija zatrudnje, i rodi sina, i nadjede mu ime Ruvim, govoreæi: Gospod pogleda na jade moje, sada æe me ljubiti muž moj.
33 Then Leah became pregnant again, and had another son. She said, “The Lord has heard that I'm not loved so he gave me this son.” So she named him Simeon.
I opet zatrudnje, i rodi sina, i reèe: Gospod èu da sam prezrena, pa mi dade i ovoga. I nadjede mu ime Simeun.
34 Leah became pregnant for the third time, and had another son. She said, “Finally my husband will be attached to me because now I've given him three sons.” That's why he was named Levi.
I opet zatrudnje, i rodi sina, i reèe: da ako se sada veæ priljubi k meni muž moj, kad mu rodih tri sina. Zato mu nadješe ime Levije.
35 Once again Leah became pregnant and had another son. She named him Judah, for she said, “Now I can really praise the Lord!” After that she had no more children.
I zatrudnje opet, i rodi sina, i reèe: sada æu hvaliti Gospoda. Zato mu nadjede ime Juda; i presta raðati.
