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

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

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

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?

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.

³And she said, Behold, my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; that she may bear upon my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.

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

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

⁵A Bilha počala a porodila Jakobovi syna.

⁵And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁰A Zilfa, dievka Leina, porodila Jakobovi syna.

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

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

¹¹And Leah said, Fortunate! and she called his name Gad.

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

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.

¹⁵And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken away 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.

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.

¹⁶And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for I have surely hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.

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

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

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

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

¹⁹A ešte počala Lea a porodila Jakobovi šiesteho syna.

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

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.

²⁰And Leah said, God hath endowed me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.

²¹Potom porodila dcéru a nazvala jej meno Dína.

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁴and she called his name Joseph, saying, Jehovah add to me another son.

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

²⁵And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.

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.

²⁶Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service wherewith I have served thee.

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

²⁷And Laban said unto him, If now I have found favor in thine eyes, [tarry]: [for] I have divined that Jehovah hath blessed me for thy sake.

²⁸A dodal: Udaj mi svoju mzdu, a dám.

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

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

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

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?

³⁰For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased unto a multitude; and Jehovah hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?

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

³¹And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me aught: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed thy flock and keep it.

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.

³²I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and [of such] shall be my hire.

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.

³³So shall my righteousness answer for me hereafter, when thou shalt come concerning my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that [if found] with me, shall be counted stolen.

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

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

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.

³⁵And he removed that day the he-goats that were ringstreaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons;

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

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

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

³⁷And Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane-tree. And peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.

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

³⁸And he set the rods which he had peeled over against the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink; and they conceived when they came to drink.

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

³⁹And the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted.

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.

⁴⁰And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstreaked and all the black in the flock of Laban: and he put his own droves apart, and put them not unto Laban's flock.

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.

⁴¹And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger of the flock did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;

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

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

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

⁴³And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses.
