Genesis 30

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 When Rachel saw that she failed to bear children to Jacob, she became envious of her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children or I shall die!"	1 Vidjevši Rahela da Jakovu ne rađa djece, postade zavidna svojoj sestri pa reče Jakovu: »Daj mi djecu! Inače ću svisnuti!«
2 In anger Jacob retorted, "Can I take the place of God, who has denied you the fruit of the womb?"	2 Jakov se razljuti na Rahelu te reče: »Zar sam ja namjesto Boga koji ti je uskratio plod utrobe?«
3 She replied, "Here is my maidservant Bilhah. Have intercourse with her, and let her give birth on my knees, so that I too may have offspring, at least through her."	3 A ona odgovori: »Evo moje sluškinje Bilhe: uđi k njoj, pa neka rodi na mojim koljenima, da tako i ja steknem djecu po njoj.«
4 So she gave him her maidservant Bilhah as a consort, and Jacob had intercourse with her.	4 Dade mu dakle svoju sluškinju Bilhu za ženu, i Jakov priđe k njoj.
5 When Bilhah conceived and bore a son,	5 Bilha zače te Jakovu rodi sina.
6 Rachel said, "God has vindicated me; indeed he has heeded my plea and given me a son." Therefore she named him Dan.	6 Tada Rahela reče: »Jahve mi je dosudio pravo. Uslišao je moj glas i dao mi sina.« Stoga mu nadjenu ime Dan.
7 Rachel's maidservant Bilhah conceived again and bore a second son,	7 Rahelina sluškinja Bilha opet zače i rodi Jakovu drugoga sina.
8 and Rachel said, "I engaged in a fateful struggle with my sister, and I prevailed." So she named him Naphtali.	8 Tada Rahela reče: »Žestoko sam se borila sa sestrom, ali sam pobijedila.« Tako mu nadjenu ime Naftali.
9 When Leah saw that she had ceased to bear children, she gave her maidservant Zilpah to Jacob as a consort.	9 A vidjevši Lea da je prestala rađati, uzme svoju sluškinju Zilpu pa je dade Jakovu za ženu.
10 So Jacob had intercourse with Zilpah, and she conceived and bore a son.	10 I kad je Leina sluškinja Zilpa rodila Jakovu sina,
11 Leah then said, "What good luck!" So she named him Gad.	11 Lea uskliknu: »Koje sreće!« Tako mu nadjenu ime Gad.
12 Then Leah's maidservant Zilpah bore a second son to Jacob;	12 Leina sluškinja Zilpa rodi Jakovu i drugog sina,
13 and Leah said, "What good fortune!"--meaning, "Women call me fortunate." So she named him Asher.	13 i Lea opet uskliknu: »Blago meni! Žene će me zvati blaženom!« Tako mu nadjenu ime Ašer.
14 One day, during the wheat harvest, when Reuben was out in the field, he came upon some mandrakes which he brought home to his mother Leah. Rachel asked Leah, "Please let me have some of your son's mandrakes."	14 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!«
15 Leah replied, "Was it not enough for you to take away my husband, that you must now take my son's mandrakes too?" "Very well, then!" Rachel answered. "In exchange for your son's mandrakes, Jacob may lie with you tonight."	15 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.«
16 That evening, when Jacob came home from the fields, Leah went out to meet him. "You are now to come in with me," she told him, "because I have paid for you with my son's mandrakes." So that night he slept with her,	16 Kad je Jakov navečer stigao iz polja, Lea mu iziđe ususret pa reče: »Treba da dođeš k meni, jer sam te unajmila za ljubavčice moga sina.« One je noći on s njom ležao.
17 and God heard her prayer; she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.	17 Bog usliša Leu; ona zače te Jakovu rodi petog sina.
18 Leah then said, "God has given me my reward for having let my husband have my maidservant"; so she named him Issachar.	18 Onda Lea reče: »Bog mi je uzvratio nagradom što sam ustupila svoju sluškinju svome mužu.« Stoga sinu nadjenu ime Jisakar.
19 Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob;	19 Lea opet zače i rodi Jakovu šestoga sina.
20 and she said, "God has brought me a precious gift. This time my husband will offer me presents, now that I have borne him six sons"; so she named him Zebulun.	20 Onda Lea reče: »Bog me obdari dragocjenim darom; sada će mi moj muž dati darove: ta rodila sam mu šest sinova.« Tako mu nadjenu ime Zebulun.
21 Finally, she gave birth to a daughter, and she named her Dinah.	21 Zatim rodi kćer te joj nadjenu ime Dina.
22 Then God remembered Rachel; he heard her prayer and made her fruitful.	22 Uto se Bog sjeti Rahele: Bog je usliša i otvori njezinu utrobu.
23 She conceived and bore a son, and she said, "God has removed my disgrace."	23 Ona zače i rodi sina te reče: »Ukloni Bog moju sramotu!«
24 So she named him Joseph, meaning, "May the LORD add another son to this one for me!"	24 Nadjene mu ime Josip, rekavši: »Neka mi Jahve pridoda drugog sina!«
25 After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban: "Give me leave to go to my homeland.	25 Pošto je Rahela rodila Josipa, Jakov reče Labanu: »Pusti me da idem u svoj zavičaj!
26 Let me have my wives, for whom I served you, and my children, too, that I may depart. You know very well the service that I have rendered you."	26 Daj mi moje žene za koje sam te služio i moju djecu da mogu otići: ta dobro znaš kako sam te služio.«
27 Laban answered him: "If you will please. . . . "I have learned through divination that it is because of you that God has blessed me.	27 A Laban mu odgovori: »Ne idi, ako si mi prijatelj. Znam da me Jahve blagoslivljao zbog tebe.«
28 So," he continued, "state what wages you want from me, and I will pay them."	28 I nadoda: »Odredi plaću koju želiš od mene, i dat ću ti.«
29 Jacob replied: "You know what work I did for you and how well your livestock fared under my care;	29 On mu odgovori: »Ti dobro znaš što je moja služba značila za te i kako je tvome blagu bilo sa mnom.
30 the little you had before I came has grown into very much, since the LORD'S blessings came upon you in my company. Therefore I should now do something for my own household as well."	30 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.«
31 "What should I pay you?" Laban asked. Jacob answered: "You do not have to pay me anything outright. I will again pasture and tend your flock, if you do this one thing for me:	31 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.
32 go through your whole flock today and remove from it every dark animal among the sheep and every spotted or speckled one among the goats. Only such animals shall be my wages.	32 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!
33 In the future, whenever you check on these wages of mine, let my honesty testify against me: any animal in my possession that is not a speckled or spotted goat, or a dark sheep, got there by theft!"	33 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!«
34 "Very well," agreed Laban. "Let it be as you say."	34 Laban reče: »Dobro, neka bude kako si kazao.«
35 That same day Laban removed the streaked and spotted he-goats and all the speckled and spotted she-goats, all those with some white on them, as well as the fully dark-colored sheep; these he left. . . in charge of his sons.	35 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.
36 Then he put a three days' journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob continued to pasture the rest of Laban's flock.	36 I odande gdje je Jakov pasao ostatak Labanova stada udalji se za koja tri dana hoda.
37 Jacob, however, got some fresh shoots of poplar, almond and plane trees, and he made white stripes in them by peeling off the bark down to the white core of the shoots.	37 A Jakov uzme zelenih mladica od topola, badema i platana; na njima izreza bijele pruge, otkrivši bjeliku na mladicama.
38 The rods that he had thus peeled he then set upright in the watering troughs, so that they would be in front of the animals that drank from the troughs. When the animals were in heat as they came to drink,	38 Pruće tako isprugano postavi u korita, u pojila iz kojih se stoka napajala. A kako se stoka parila kad je na vodu dolazila,
39 the goats mated by the rods, and so they brought forth streaked, speckled and spotted kids.	39 to su se jarci parili uz pruće, pa su koze kozile prugaste, riđaste i šarene kozliće.
40 The sheep, on the other hand, Jacob kept apart, and he set these animals to face the streaked or fully dark-colored animals of Laban. Thus he produced special flocks of his own, which he did not put with Laban's flock.	40 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.
41 Moreover, whenever the hardier animals were in heat, Jacob would set the rods in the troughs in full view of these animals, so that they mated by the rods;	41 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.
42 but with the weaker animals he would not put the rods there. So the feeble animals would go to Laban, but the sturdy ones to Jacob.	42 Ali ga pred kržljavu marvu nije stavljao. Tako je kržljava zapadala Labana, a dobro razvijena Jakova.
43 Thus the man grew increasingly prosperous, and he came to own not only large flocks but also male and female servants and camels and asses.	43 Čovjek se tako silno obogatio, stekao mnogu stoku, sluge i sluškinje, deve i magarad.
