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

¹Potom sa zobral Jakob a išiel do zeme synov Východu.

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.

²A keď pozrel, tu hľa videl studňu na poli. A hľa, boly tam tri stáda oviec, ktoré ležaly pri nej, lebo z tej studne napájali stáda, a kameň na vrchu studne bol veľký.

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.

³A shromažďovávaly sa ta všetky stáda, a len potom odvaľovávali kameň s vrchu studne, a napojili stádo a zase privalili kameň na vrch studne, na jeho miesto.

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

⁴A Jakob sa ich opýtal: Moji bratia, odkiaľ ste? A povedali: Sme z Chárana.

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

⁵Vtedy im povedal: Či znáte Lábana, syna Náchorovho? A povedali: Známe.

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

⁶A zase im povedal: Či sa má dobre? A oni odpovedali: Dobre, a hľa, tamto ide Rácheľ, jeho dcéra, so stádom.

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.

⁷Vtedy im povedal: Však ešte je ďaleko do večera, ešte nie je čas, aby sa sháňal dobytok; napojte ovce a iďte, paste.

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.

⁸Ale oni povedali: Nemôžeme, dokiaľ sa nesoženú všetky stáda; len vtedy odvalia kameň so studne, a napojíme ovce.

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

⁹A kým ešte hovoril s nimi, prišla Rácheľ so stádom oviec a kôz, ktoré patrily jej otcovi lebo bola pastierkou.

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.

¹⁰A stalo sa, keď videl Jakob Rácheľ, dcéru Lábana, brata svojej matky, a stádo Lábana, brata svojej matky, že pristúpil Jakob a odvalil kameň s otvoru studne a napojil stádo Lábana, brata svojej matky.

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

¹¹A Jakob bozkal Rácheľ a povýšil svoj hlas a plakal.

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.

¹²A Jakob oznámil Rácheli, že je bratom jej otca a že je synom Rebeky a ona bežala a oznámila to svojmu otcovi.

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.

¹³A stalo sa, keď počul Lában zvesť o Jakobovi, synovi svojej sestry, že vyšiel a bežal mu oproti a objímuc ho bozkal ho a doviedol ho do svojho domu, a on porozprával Lábanovi všetko to, čo sa stalo.

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

¹⁴A Lában mu povedal: Tak je, si moja kosť a moje telo. A býval u neho jeden mesiac.

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

¹⁵Potom povedal Lában Jakobovi: Či preto, že si môj brat, budeš mi darmo slúžiť? Povedz mi, čo bude tvoja mzda?

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

¹⁶A Lában mal dve dcéry, meno staršej bolo Lea, a meno mladšej bolo Rácheľ.

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

¹⁷Ale Lea mala chúlostivé oči, a Rácheľ bola peknej postavy a krásnej tvári.

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

¹⁸A Jakob si zamiloval Rácheľ a povedal: Budem ti slúžiť sedem rokov za Rácheľ, tvoju mladšiu dcéru.

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

¹⁹A Lában odpovedal: Lepšie je, aby som ju dal tebe, než ako by som ju mal dať inému mužovi. Bývaj u mňa.

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

²⁰A tak slúžil Jakob za Rácheľ sedem rokov, a bolo to v jeho očiach ako niekoľko dní, keďže ju mal rád.

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

²¹Potom povedal Jakob Lábanovi: Daj mi moju ženu, lebo sa vyplnily moje dni, aby som vošiel k nej.

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

²²Vtedy shromaždil Lában všetkých mužov toho miesta a urobil hostinu.

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.

²³Ale večer stalo sa, že pojal Leu, svoju dcéru, a voviedol ju k nemu, a vošiel k nej

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

²⁴A Lában jej dal Zilfu, svoju dievku, Lei, svojej dcére, za dievku.

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?

²⁵A keď bolo ráno, hľa, bola to Lea. A povedal Lábanovi: Čo si mi to urobil? Či som neslúžil u teba za Rácheľ? Prečo si ma tedy oklamal?

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

²⁶A Lában povedal: Tu u nás sa nerobí tak, aby sa mladšia vydala prv ako staršia, prvorodená.

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

²⁷Vyplň týždeň tejto, a potom ti dáme i túto za službu, ktorú budeš slúžiť u mňa, ešte druhých sedem rokov.

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

²⁸A Jakob urobil tak a vyplnil jej týždeň, a tak mu dal Rácheľ, svoju dcéru, jemu za ženu.

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

²⁹A Lában dal Rácheli, svojej dcére, Bilhu, svoju dievku, jej za dievku.

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

³⁰A vošiel i k Rácheli a miloval i Rácheľ, viac ako Leu, a slúžil u neho ešte druhých sedem rokov.

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

³¹A keď videl Hospodin, že je Lea nenávidená, otvoril jej život a Rácheľ zostala neplodnou.

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.

³²A Lea počala a porodila syna a nazvala jeho nemo Rúben, lebo povedala: Hospodin istotne videl moje trápenie, lebo teraz ma už bude milovať môj muž.

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.

³³A opät počala a porodila syna a povedala: Hospodin istotne počul, že som nenávidená, a dal mi aj tohoto, preto nazvala jeho meno Šimon.

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.

³⁴A ešte počala a porodila syna a povedala: Teraz už, tento raz priľne môj muž ku mne, lebo som mu porodila troch synov a preto nazvali jeho meno Lévi.

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.

³⁵A ešte počala a porodila syna a povedala: Tento raz budem chváliť Hospodina, preto nazvala jeho meno Júda. A prestala rodiť.
