¹And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.

¹A keď videla Rácheľ, že nerodí Jakobovi, závidela svojej sestre a povedala Jakobovi: Daj mi synov;lebo ak nedáš, zomriem.

²And 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?

²Vtedy sa rozhneval Jakob na Rácheľ a povedal: Či som ja na mieste Boha, ktorý ti odoprel plod života?

³And 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.

³Na to povedala: Hľa, tam je moja dievka Bilha, vojdi k nej, a porodí na moje kolená, a budem i ja mať z nej synov.

⁴And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.

⁴A dala mu Bilhu, svoju dievku, za ženu. A Jakob vošiel k nej.

⁵And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.

⁵A Bilha počala a porodila Jakobovi syna.

⁶And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.

⁶Vtedy povedala Rácheľ: Bôh rozsúdil moju vec aj uslyšal môj hlas a dal mi syna. Preto nazvala jeho meno Dán.

⁷And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.

⁷A ešte počala a porodila Bilha, dievka Ráchelina, Jakobovi druhého syna.

⁸And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.

⁸A Rácheľ povedala: Borby Božie som sa borila so svojou sestrou aj som premohla a nazvala jeho meno Naftali.

⁹When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.

⁹A keď videla Lea, že prestala rodiť, vzala Zilfu, svoju dievku, a dala ju Jakobovi za ženu.

¹⁰And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.

¹⁰A Zilfa, dievka Leina, porodila Jakobovi syna.

¹¹And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.

¹¹Vtedy povedala Lea: Zástupom prichádzajú, a nazvala jeho meno Gád.

¹²And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.

¹²A Zilfa, dievka Leina, porodila Jakobovi druhého syna.

¹³And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.

¹³A Lea povedala: To na moje blahoslavenstvo, lebo ma budú blahoslaviť dcéry, a nazvala jeho meno Aser.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁴A Rúben išiel vo dňoch, keď sa žne pšenica, a našiel ľúbostné jablká na poli. A doniesol ich k Lei, svojej matke. A Rácheľ povedala Lei: Daj mi prosím, z jabĺk svojeho syna!

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵Ale ona jej povedala: Či ti je to málo, že si vzala môjho muža a vezmeš ešte i jablká môjho syna? A Rácheľ odpovedala: Nech tedy leží s tebou za jablká tvojho syna.

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁶Keď potom prišiel Jakob večer z poľa, vyšla Lea oproti nemu a povedala: Ku mne vojdeš, lebo som si ťa najala za jablká svojho syna, ktoré som dala jako mzdu. A tak ležal s ňou tej noci.

¹⁷And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.

¹⁷A Bôh uslyšal Leu, a počala a porodila Jakobovi piateho syna.

¹⁸And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.

¹⁸A Lea povedala: Bôh mi dal moju mzdu, keď som dala svojmu mužovi svoju dievku, a nazvala jeho meno Izachár.

¹⁹And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.

¹⁹A ešte počala Lea a porodila Jakobovi šiesteho syna.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰A Lea povedala: Bôh ma obdaril dobrým darom. Tento raz už bude bývať so mnou môj muž, lebo som mu porodila šiestich synov a nazvala jeho meno Zabulon.

²¹And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

²¹Potom porodila dcéru a nazvala jej meno Dína.

²²And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.

²²A Bôh sa rozpamätal na Rácheľ a uslyšal ju Bôh a otvoril jej život.

²³And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:

²³A počala a porodila syna a povedala: Bôh odňal moje pohanenie,

²⁴And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.

²⁴a nazvala jeho meno Jozef; lebo povedala: Nech mi pridá Hospodin aj druhého syna!

²⁵And 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.

²⁵A stalo sa, keď porodila Rácheľ Jozefa, že Jakob povedal Lábanovi: Prepusti ma, a pojdem na svoje miesto a do svojej zeme.

²⁶Give 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.

²⁶Daj mi moje ženy a moje deti, za ktoré som ti slúžil, aby som odišiel, lebo však ty vieš o mojej službe, ktorú som ti slúžil.

²⁷And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.

²⁷A Lában mu povedal: Ak som našiel milosť v tvojich očiach, zostaň; lebo badám, že ma Hospodin žehnal pre teba.

²⁸And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.

²⁸A dodal: Udaj mi svoju mzdu, a dám.

²⁹And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.

²⁹A on mu povedal: Ty vieš, ako som ti slúžil, ako aj to, jaký bol tvoj dobytok u mňa.

³⁰For 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?

³⁰Lebo to málo, čo si mal predo mnou, rozmnožilo sa vo množstvo, a Hospodin ťa požehnal, odkedy vkročila k tebe moja noha. A teraz kedyže i ja budem pracovať pre svoj vlastný dom?

³¹And 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.

³¹A povedal: Čo ti mám dať? A Jakob odpovedal: Nedáš mi ničoho. Ak mi urobíš túto vec, budem zase pásť tvoje stádo a strážiť.

³²I 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.

³²Prejdem dnes pomedzi celé tvoje stádo a oddelím ztade každé dobytča bodkasté a strakaté a každé dobytča čierne medzi ovcami a strakaté a bodkasté medzi kozami, a to bude mojou mzdou.

³³So 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.

³³A moja spravedlivosť bude odpovedať za mňa voľakedy v budúcnosti, keď prijde pre moju mzdu pred teba. Všetko, čo by nebolo bodkasté alebo strakaté medzi kozami a čierne medzi ovcami, nech je to u mňa za ukradnuté.

³⁴And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.

³⁴A Lában povedal: Hľa, bárs by bolo podľa tvojho slova!

³⁵And he removed that day the he goats that were ring-streaked 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.

³⁵A odlúčil toho dňa pásikavých kozlov a strakatých a všetky bodkasté a strakaté kozy, všetko, na čom bolo biele, všetko čierne medzi ovcami a oddal to do rúk svojich synov.

³⁶And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.

³⁶A urobil medzi sebou a medzi Jakobom vzdialenosť cesty troch dní. A Jakob pásol ostatok drobného stáda Lábanovho.

³⁷And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and pilled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.

³⁷A Jakob si nabral topoľových prútov zelených i lieskových i kaštanových a nalúpal na nich bielych lupín obnažujúc bielosť, ktorá bola na prútoch.

³⁸And 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.

³⁸A nastaväl prútov, ktoré olúpal, do žľabov, do válovov na vodu, kam prichádzalo stádo piť, pred stádo, aby počínaly, keď prichádzaly piť.

³⁹And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.

³⁹A tak počínalo stádo hľadiac na prúty, a stádo rodilo pásikavé, bodkasté a strakaté.

⁴⁰And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked, 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.

⁴⁰Tak odlúčil Jakob jahnence a obrátil stádo tvárou k pásikavému i všetko čierne v stáde Lábanovom a sebe postavil po každé stáda osobitne a nepostavil ich ku stádu Lábanovmu.

⁴¹And 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.

⁴¹A bývalo tak, že kedykoľvek bolo niečo silnejšie pripúšťané zo stáda, aby sa párilo, kládol Jakob prúty pred oči stáda do žľabov, aby počínaly pri prútoch.

⁴²But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.

⁴²Keď zase bolo pripúšťané slabšie zo stáda, nekládol ich. A takým činom bolo čo slabšie Lábanovo a čo silnejšie Jakobovo.

⁴³And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.

⁴³A človek sa rozmohol náramne a mal mnoho stáda a slúžek a sluhov a veľblúdov a oslov.
