¹Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.

¹Ja Jaakob läks teele ning jõudis hommikumaa poegade maale.

²And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.

²Ta vaatas, ja ennäe, väljal oli kaev. Ja vaata, sealsamas, selle kõrval, lebas kolm lamba- ja kitsekarja, sest sellest kaevust joodeti karju; kaevu suul aga oli suur kivi.

³And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.

³Kui kõik karjad olid kogunenud sinna, siis veeretati kivi kaevu suult, joodeti lambaid ja kitsi ning seati kivi tagasi oma paika kaevu suul.

⁴And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.

⁴Ja Jaakob küsis neilt: 'Vennad, kust te olete?' Ja nad vastasid: 'Me oleme Haaranist.'

⁵And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.

⁵Siis ta küsis neilt: 'Kas tunnete Laabanit, Naahori poega?' Ja nad vastasid: 'Tunneme küll!'

⁶And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.

⁶Ta küsis neilt: 'Kuidas ta käsi käib?' Ja nad vastasid: 'Hästi! Ja näe, sealt tuleb tema tütar Raahel karjaga.'

⁷And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.

⁷Ta ütles: 'Vaata, päike on alles kõrgel, pole veel aeg karja kokku ajada. Jootke loomi ja minge söötke neid!'

⁸And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.

⁸Aga nad vastasid: 'Me ei saa, enne kui kõik karjad on koos. Siis veeretatakse kivi kaevu suult ja me saame joota lambaid.'

⁹And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them.

⁹Kui ta alles nendega rääkis, tuli Raahel oma isa karjaga, sest ta oli neid hoidmas.

¹⁰And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

¹⁰Ja kui Jaakob nägi Raahelit, oma ema venna Laabani tütart, ja oma ema venna Laabani karja, siis Jaakob astus ligi ja veeretas kivi kaevu suult ning jootis oma ema venna Laabani lambaid.

¹¹And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

¹¹Siis Jaakob suudles Raahelit, tõstis häält ja nuttis.

¹²And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.

¹²Ja Jaakob andis Raahelile teada, et ta on tema isa sugulane ja Rebeka poeg; ja Raahel jooksis ning teatas oma isale.

¹³And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.

¹³Ja kui Laaban kuulis sõnumit oma õepojast Jaakobist, siis ta jooksis temale vastu, kaelustas ja suudles teda ning viis ta oma kotta; ja ta jutustas Laabanile kõik, mis oli sündinud.

¹⁴And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.

¹⁴Siis ütles Laaban temale: 'Sa oled tõesti minu luu ja liha!' Ja ta jäi tema juurde kuuks ajaks.

¹⁵And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?

¹⁵Ja Laaban ütles Jaakobile: 'Kas sa sellepärast, et oled mu sugulane, peaksid mind teenima ilma palgata? Nimeta mulle oma palk!'

¹⁶And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

¹⁶Laabanil aga oli kaks tütart; vanema nimi oli Lea ja noorema nimi oli Raahel.

¹⁷Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.

¹⁷Leal olid läiketa silmad, aga Raahel oli jumekas ja ilusa välimusega.

¹⁸And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

¹⁸Jaakob armastas Raahelit, seepärast ta ütles: 'Ma teenin sind seitse aastat su noorema tütre Raaheli pärast!'

¹⁹And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.

¹⁹Laaban vastas: 'Ma annan ta parem sinule kui mõnele teisele mehele. Jää minu juurde!'

²⁰And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

²⁰Ja Jaakob teenis Raaheli pärast seitse aastat, ja need olid tema silmis nagu üksikud päevad, sellepärast et ta teda armastas.

²¹And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.

²¹Siis Jaakob ütles Laabanile: 'Anna mu naine mulle kätte, sest aeg on täis, et ma võin minna tema juurde!'

²²And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

²²Laaban koguski kokku kõik selle paiga mehed ja tegi peo.

²³And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.

²³Aga õhtul ta võttis oma tütre Lea ja viis selle tema juurde; ja Jaakob heitis ta juurde.

²⁴And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.

²⁴Ja Laaban andis oma teenija Silpa oma tütrele Leale teenijaks.

²⁵And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?

²⁵Jõudis hommik, ja vaata, see oli Lea! Siis ütles Jaakob Laabanile: 'Mis sa mulle oled teinud! Eks ma ole Raaheli pärast sind teeninud? Mispärast sa mind petsid?'

²⁶And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.

²⁶Aga Laaban vastas: 'Ei ole meie pool kombeks anda noorem enne vanemat.

²⁷Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.

²⁷Pea sellega pulmanädal ära, siis me anname ka teise sulle teenistuse eest, kui sa mind veel teist seitse aastat teenid!'

²⁸And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.

²⁸Ja Jaakob tegi nõnda ning pidas sellega pulmanädala ära, siis ta andis oma tütre Raaheli temale naiseks.

²⁹And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.

²⁹Ja Laaban andis oma teenija Billa oma tütrele Raahelile teenijaks.

³⁰And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

³⁰Siis Jaakob heitis ka Raaheli juurde, ta armastas ju Raahelit ikkagi rohkem kui Lead; ja ta teenis Laabanit veel teist seitse aastat.

³¹And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.

³¹Ent kui Issand nägi, et Lea hüljati, siis ta avas tema üsa; Raahel aga oli viljatu.

³²And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.

³²Ja Lea jäi lapseootele ja tõi poja ilmale ning pani temale nimeks Ruuben, sest ta ütles: 'Issand on mu alandust näinud. Küllap mu mees hakkab nüüd mind armastama!'

³³And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.

³³Ja ta jäi taas lapseootele ja tõi poja ilmale ning ütles: 'Issand on kuulnud, et mind hüljati. Seepärast on ta mulle ka selle andnud.' Ja ta pani temale nimeks Siimeon.

³⁴And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.

³⁴Ja tema jäi taas lapseootele ja tõi poja ilmale ning ütles: 'Nüüd viimaks mu mees kiindub minusse, sest ma olen temale kolm poega ilmale toonud!' Seepärast pandi sellele nimeks Leevi.

³⁵And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.

³⁵Ja tema jäi taas lapseootele ja tõi poja ilmale ning ütles: 'Nüüd ma kiidan Issandat!' Seepärast ta pani temale nimeks Juuda. Siis ta lakkas sünnitamast.
