¹Ja Jaakob läks teele ning jõudis hommikumaa poegade maale.

¹And Jacob continued his journey, and went into the land of the children of the east.

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.

²And he looked, and behold, there was a well in the fields, and behold there, three flocks of sheep were lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks, and a great stone was at the mouth of the well.

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

³And when all the flocks were gathered there, they rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the mouth of the well in its place.

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

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

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

⁵And he said to them, Do ye know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We do know [him].

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

⁶And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, [He is] well; and behold, there comes Rachel his daughter with the sheep.

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

⁷And he said, Behold, it is yet high day; it is not time that the cattle should be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, feed [them].

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

⁸And they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and we water the sheep.

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

⁹While he was still speaking to them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess.

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.

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 mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.

¹¹Siis Jaakob suudles Raahelit, tõstis häält ja nuttis.

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

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

¹²And Jacob told Rachel that he was a brother of her father, and that he was Rebecca's son; and she ran and told her father.

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.

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.

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

¹⁴And Laban said to him, Thou art indeed my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him a month's time.

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

¹⁵And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou serve me for nothing? tell me, what shall be thy wages?

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

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

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

¹⁷And the eyes of Leah were tender; but Rachel was of beautiful form and beautiful countenance.

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

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

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

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

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

²⁰And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they were in his eyes as single days, because he loved her.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁴And Laban gave to her Zilpah, his maidservant, to be maidservant to Leah his daughter.

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?'

²⁵And it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Have I not served thee for Rachel? Why then hast thou deceived me?

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

²⁶And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.

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

²⁷Fulfil the week [with] this one: then we will give thee the other one also, for the service that thou shalt serve me yet seven other years.

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

²⁸And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week [with] this one, and he gave him Rachel his daughter to be his wife.

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

²⁹And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, Bilhah, his maidservant, to be her maidservant.

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

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

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

³¹And when Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

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!'

³²And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Reuben; for she said, Because Jehovah has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.

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.

³³And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this one also; and she called his name Simeon.

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.

³⁴And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Now this time will my husband be united to me, for I have borne him three sons; therefore was his name called Levi.

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.

³⁵And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, This time will I praise Jehovah; therefore she called his name Judah. And she ceased to bear.
