¹When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I will die.”

¹Kui Raahel nägi, et ta ei toonud Jaakobile lapsi ilmale, siis Raahel kadestas oma õde ja ütles Jaakobile: 'Muretse mulle lapsi, muidu ma suren!'

²Jacob’s anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in God’s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”

²Aga Jaakobi viha süttis põlema Raaheli vastu ja ta küsis: 'Kas mina olen Jumala asemik, kes sulle ihuvilja keelab?'

³She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.”

³Ja Raahel vastas: 'Vaata, seal on mu orjatar Billa. Heida tema juurde, et ta sünnitaks lapsi mu põlvede peale ja minagi saaksin nõnda temalt järglasi!'

⁴She gave him Bilhah her handmaid as wife, and Jacob went in to her.

⁴Ja ta andis temale naiseks oma teenija Billa ning Jaakob heitis selle juurde.

⁵Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

⁵Ja Billa jäi lapseootele ning tõi Jaakobile poja ilmale.

⁶Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son.” Therefore called she his name Dan.

⁶Siis ütles Raahel: 'Jumal tegi mulle õigust. Ta kuulis ka mu häält ja andis mulle poja.' Seepärast ta pani temale nimeks Daan.

⁷Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.

⁷Ja Billa, Raaheli teenija, jäi taas lapseootele ning tõi Jaakobile teise poja ilmale.

⁸Rachel said, “With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed.” She named him Naphtali.

⁸Siis ütles Raahel: 'Ma olen oma õega võidelnud Jumala võitlust ja olen võitnud.' Ja ta pani temale nimeks Naftali.

⁹When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

⁹Kui Lea nägi, et ta oli lakanud sünnitamast, siis ta võttis oma teenija Silpa ja andis selle Jaakobile naiseks.

¹⁰Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid, bore Jacob a son.

¹⁰Ja Silpa, Lea teenija, tõi Jaakobile poja ilmale

¹¹Leah said, “How fortunate!” She named him Gad.

¹¹ning Lea ütles: 'Õnneks!' Ja ta pani temale nimeks Gaad.

¹²Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid, bore Jacob a second son.

¹²Ja Silpa, Lea teenija, tõi Jaakobile teise poja ilmale

¹³Leah said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She named him Asher.

¹³ning Lea ütles: 'Ma olen õnnelik. Tõesti, naised kiidavad mind õnnelikuks.' Ja ta pani temale nimeks Aaser.

¹⁴Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”

¹⁴Kord läks Ruuben nisulõikuse ajal ja leidis väljalt lemmemarju ja tõi neid oma emale Leale. Ja Raahel ütles Leale: 'Anna ka minule oma poja lemmemarju!'

¹⁵She said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes, also?” Rachel said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”

¹⁵Aga ta vastas temale: 'Kas on veel vähe, et sa võtsid mu mehe? Nüüd tahad sa ka mu poja lemmemarjad ära võtta!' Siis ütles Raahel: 'Vastutasuks magagu ta täna öösel sinu juures su poja lemmemarjade eest!'

¹⁶Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, “You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” He lay with her that night.

¹⁶Kui Jaakob tuli õhtul väljalt, siis läks Lea temale vastu ja ütles: 'Sa pead minu juurde heitma, sest ma olen sind tinginud tasu eest, oma poja lemmemarjade eest!' Ja tema magas sel ööl ta juures.

¹⁷God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

¹⁷Ja Jumal kuulis Lead, ja Lea jäi lapseootele ja tõi Jaakobile viienda poja ilmale.

¹⁸Leah said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband.” She named him Issachar.

¹⁸Ja Lea ütles: 'Jumal tasus mulle, et ma andsin oma teenija oma mehele.' Ja ta pani temale nimeks Issaskar.

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

¹⁹Ja Lea jäi taas lapseootele ja tõi Jaakobile kuuenda poja ilmale.

²⁰Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun.

²⁰Ja Lea ütles: 'Jumal valmistas mulle ilusa kingituse. Nüüd mu mees hakkab mind sallima, sest ma olen temale kuus poega ilmale toonud!' Ja ta pani temale nimeks Sebulon.

²¹Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.

²¹Ja pärastpoole ta tõi tütre ilmale ning pani temale nimeks Diina.

²²God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.

²²Aga Jumal mõtles Raahelile, ja Jumal kuulis teda ning avas tema üsa.

²³She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”

²³Ja ta jäi lapseootele ja tõi poja ilmale ning ütles: 'Jumal võttis ära mu teotuse!'

²⁴She named him Joseph, Joseph means “may he add.” saying, “May Yahweh add another son to me.”

²⁴Ja ta pani temale nimeks Joosep, öeldes: 'Annaks Issand mulle lisaks veel teisegi poja!'

²⁵It happened, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.

²⁵Ja kui Raahel oli Joosepi ilmale toonud, siis Jaakob ütles Laabanile: 'Lase mind, et saaksin minna koju ja oma kodumaale!

²⁶Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”

²⁶Anna mu naised ja lapsed, kelle pärast ma sind olen teeninud, ja ma lähen, sest sa tead ju ise, kuidas ma sind olen teeninud!'

²⁷Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake.”

²⁷Ja Laaban vastas temale: 'Kui ma nüüd sinu silmis armu leiaksin! Märgid näitavad mulle, et Issand on mind sinu pärast õnnistanud.'

²⁸He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”

²⁸Ja ta ütles: 'Nimeta mulle oma palk ja ma annan selle!'

²⁹He said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.

²⁹Siis ta vastas temale: 'Sina tead ise, kuidas ma sind olen teeninud ja mis on saanud su karjast minu juures.

³⁰For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”

³⁰Sest pisut oli seda, mis sul oli enne mind. See on aga ohtrasti kasvanud ja Issand on sind õnnistanud minu sammude läbi. Millal ma siis nüüd saan hoolitseda ka oma pere eest?'

³¹He said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.

³¹Siis ta küsis: 'Mis ma sulle pean andma?' Ja Jaakob vastas: 'Ära anna mulle midagi. Kui sa lubad mulle seda, siis ma karjatan ja hoian veelgi su lambaid ja kitsi:

³²I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire.

³²ma käisin täna läbi kõik su lamba- ja kitsekarjad, lahutades kõik tähnilised ja kirjud uted ja kõik mustad uted su tallede seast, samuti kirjud ja tähnilised kitsede hulgast. Need olgu mulle palgaks

³³So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be counted stolen.”

³³ja mu õigus kostku minu eest tulevikus, kui sa tuled mu palka vaatama: kõik, kes ei ole tähnilised ja kirjud kitsede hulgas ja mustad tallede seas, loetagu minu poolt varastatuiks!'

³⁴Laban said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”

³⁴Ja Laaban vastas: 'Hästi, sündigu tõesti su sõna järgi!'

³⁵That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female 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.

³⁵Ja ta lahutas selsamal päeval vöödilised ja kirjud sikud ja kõik tähnilised ja kirjud kitsed, kellel oli valget küljes, ja kõik mustad tallede seas, andis need oma poegade hooleks

³⁶He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.

³⁶ning jättis kolme päeva tee enese ja Jaakobi vahele; Jaakob aga jäi karjatama Laabani ülejäänud lambaid ja kitsi.

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

³⁷Ja Jaakob võttis enesele papli-, mandli- ja plataanipuu tooreid keppe ja kooris neile valged vöödid, paljastades keppide valge puu.

³⁸He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.

³⁸Siis ta pani kooritud kepid lammaste ja kitsede ette rennidesse ja veekünadesse, kuhu loomad tulid jooma; ja joomas olles nad paaritusid.

³⁹The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks produced streaked, speckled, and spotted.

³⁹Ja kui lambad ja kitsed keppide juures paaritusid, siis nad sünnitasid tallesid: vöödilisi, tähnilisi ja kirjusid.

⁴⁰Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laban: and he put his own droves apart, and didn’t put them into Laban’s flock.

⁴⁰Ja Jaakob eraldas noored jäärad: ta pööras isaloomade pead vöödiliste poole ja kõigi mustade poole Laabani karja hulgas. Nõnda tegi ta enesele eraldi karjad ega pannud neid Laabani lammaste ja kitsede sekka.

⁴¹It happened, whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;

⁴¹Ja iga kord, kui tugevamad loomad paaritusid, pani Jaakob kepid künadesse nende silme ette, et nad paarituksid keppide juures.

⁴²but when the flock were feeble, he didn’t put them in. So the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.

⁴²Aga kui loomad olid nõrgemad, siis ta ei pannud. Nõnda said nõrgad Laabanile ja tugevamad Jaakobile.

⁴³The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.

⁴³Ja mees kosus väga ja tal oli palju lambaid ja kitsi, teenijaid ja sulaseid, kaameleid ja eesleid.
