¹Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.

¹Ja Jaakob läks teele ning jõudis hommikumaa poegade maale.

²He looked, and behold, a well in the field, and, behold, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well’s mouth was large.

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.

³There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the well’s mouth in its place.

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

⁴Jacob said to them, “My relatives, where are you from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”

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

⁵He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”

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

⁶He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.”

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

⁷He said, “Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water 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!'

⁸They said, “We can’t, until all the flocks are gathered together, and 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.'

⁹While he was yet speaking 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.

¹⁰It happened, 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.

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

¹¹Siis Jaakob suudles Raahelit, tõstis häält ja nuttis.

¹²Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son. 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.

¹³It happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister’s son, that he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob 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.

¹⁴Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” He lived with him for a month.

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

¹⁵Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”

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

¹⁶Laban 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’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.

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

¹⁸Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”

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

¹⁹Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”

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

²⁰Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.

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

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

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

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

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

²³It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. He went in to her.

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

²⁴Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.

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

²⁵It happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. He said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Didn’t I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived 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?'

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

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

²⁷Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will 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!'

²⁸Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.

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

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

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

³⁰He went in also to 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.

³¹Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.

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

³²Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction. For now 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!'

³³She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him 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.

³⁴She conceived again, and bore a son. Said, “Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was 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.

³⁵She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time will I praise Yahweh.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped 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.
