Kniha Genezis

1 (CPDV) And so Jacob, setting out, arrived in the eastern land.
1 (ROH) Potom sa zobral Jakob a išiel do zeme synov Východu.

2 (CPDV) And he saw a well in a field, and also three flocks of sheep reclining near it. For the animals were watered from it, and its mouth was closed with a great stone.
2 (ROH) A keď pozrel, tu hľa videl studňu na poli. A hľa, boly tam tri stáda oviec, ktoré ležaly pri nej, lebo z tej studne napájali stáda, a kameň na vrchu studne bol veľký.

3 (CPDV) And the custom was, when all the sheep were gathered together, to roll away the stone. And when the flocks had been refreshed, they placed it over the mouth of the well again.
3 (ROH) A shromažďovávaly sa ta všetky stáda, a len potom odvaľovávali kameň s vrchu studne, a napojili stádo a zase privalili kameň na vrch studne, na jeho miesto.

4 (CPDV) And he said to the shepherds, “Brothers, where are you from?” And they answered. “From Haran.”
4 (ROH) A Jakob sa ich opýtal: Moji bratia, odkiaľ ste? A povedali: Sme z Chárana.

5 (CPDV) And questioning them, he said, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
5 (ROH) Vtedy im povedal: Či znáte Lábana, syna Náchorovho? A povedali: Známe.

6 (CPDV) He said, “Is he well?” “He is very well,” they said. “And behold, his daughter Rachel 17 approaches with his flock.”
6 (ROH) A zase im povedal: Či sa má dobre? A oni odpovedali: Dobre, a hľa, tamto ide Rácheľ, jeho dcéra, so stádom.

7 (CPDV) And Jacob said, “There is still much daylight remaining, and it is not time to return the flocks to the sheepfold. Give the sheep to drink first, and then lead them back to pasture.”
7 (ROH) Vtedy im povedal: Však ešte je ďaleko do večera, ešte nie je čas, aby sa sháňal dobytok; napojte ovce a iďte, paste.

8 (CPDV) They responded, “We cannot, until all the animals are gathered together and we remove the stone from the mouth of the well, so that we may water the flocks.”
8 (ROH) Ale oni povedali: Nemôžeme, dokiaľ sa nesoženú všetky stáda; len vtedy odvalia kameň so studne, a napojíme ovce.

9 (CPDV) They were still speaking, and behold, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep; for she pastured the flock.
9 (ROH) A kým ešte hovoril s nimi, prišla Rácheľ so stádom oviec a kôz, ktoré patrily jej otcovi lebo bola pastierkou.

10 (CPDV) When Jacob had seen her, and he realized that she was his maternal first cousin, and that these were the sheep of his uncle Laban, he removed the stone which closed the well.
10 (ROH) A stalo sa, keď videl Jakob Rácheľ, dcéru Lábana, brata svojej matky, a stádo Lábana, brata svojej matky, že pristúpil Jakob a odvalil kameň s otvoru studne a napojil stádo Lábana, brata svojej matky.

11 (CPDV) And having watered the flock, he kissed her. And lifting up his voice, he wept.
11 (ROH) A Jakob bozkal Rácheľ a povýšil svoj hlas a plakal.

12 (CPDV) And he revealed to her that he was a brother of her father, and the son of Rebekah. And so, hurrying, she announced it to her father.
12 (ROH) A Jakob oznámil Rácheli, že je bratom jej otca a že je synom Rebeky a ona bežala a oznámila to svojmu otcovi.

13 (CPDV) And when he had heard that Jacob, his sister’s son, had arrived, he ran to meet him. And embracing him, and kissing him heartily, he brought him into his house. But when he had heard the reasons for his journey,
13 (ROH) A stalo sa, keď počul Lában zvesť o Jakobovi, synovi svojej sestry, že vyšiel a bežal mu oproti a objímuc ho bozkal ho a doviedol ho do svojho domu, a on porozprával Lábanovi všetko to, čo sa stalo.

14 (CPDV) he responded, “You are my bone and my flesh.” And after the days of one month were completed,
14 (ROH) A Lában mu povedal: Tak je, si moja kosť a moje telo. A býval u neho jeden mesiac.

15 (CPDV) he said to him: “Though you are my brother, will you serve me for nothing? Tell me what wages you would accept.”
15 (ROH) Potom povedal Lában Jakobovi: Či preto, že si môj brat, budeš mi darmo slúžiť? Povedz mi, čo bude tvoja mzda?

16 (CPDV) In truth, he had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah; and truly the younger was called Rachel.
16 (ROH) A Lában mal dve dcéry, meno staršej bolo Lea, a meno mladšej bolo Rácheľ.

17 (CPDV) But while Leah was bleary-eyed, Rachel had an elegant appearance and was attractive to behold.
17 (ROH) Ale Lea mala chúlostivé oči, a Rácheľ bola peknej postavy a krásnej tvári.

18 (CPDV) And Jacob, loving her, said, “I will serve you for seven years, for your younger daughter Rachel.”
18 (ROH) A Jakob si zamiloval Rácheľ a povedal: Budem ti slúžiť sedem rokov za Rácheľ, tvoju mladšiu dcéru.

19 (CPDV) Laban responded, “It is better that I give her to you than to another man; remain with me.”
19 (ROH) A Lában odpovedal: Lepšie je, aby som ju dal tebe, než ako by som ju mal dať inému mužovi. Bývaj u mňa.

20 (CPDV) Therefore, Jacob served for seven years for Rachel. And these seemed like only a few days, because of the greatness of love.
20 (ROH) A tak slúžil Jakob za Rácheľ sedem rokov, a bolo to v jeho očiach ako niekoľko dní, keďže ju mal rád.

21 (CPDV) And he said to Laban, “Give my wife to me. For now the time has been fulfilled, so that I may go in to her.”
21 (ROH) Potom povedal Jakob Lábanovi: Daj mi moju ženu, lebo sa vyplnily moje dni, aby som vošiel k nej.

22 (CPDV) And he, having called a great crowd of his friends to the feast, agreed to the marriage.
22 (ROH) Vtedy shromaždil Lában všetkých mužov toho miesta a urobil hostinu.

23 (CPDV) And at night, he brought in his daughter Leah to him,
23 (ROH) Ale večer stalo sa, že pojal Leu, svoju dcéru, a voviedol ju k nemu, a vošiel k nej

24 (CPDV) giving his daughter a handmaid named Zilpah. After Jacob had gone in to her, according to custom, when morning had arrived, he saw Leah.
24 (ROH) A Lában jej dal Zilfu, svoju dievku, Lei, svojej dcére, za dievku.

25 (CPDV) And he said to his father-in-law, “What is it that you intended to do? Did I not serve you for Rachel? Why have you deceived me?”
25 (ROH) A keď bolo ráno, hľa, bola to Lea. A povedal Lábanovi: Čo si mi to urobil? Či som neslúžil u teba za Rácheľ? Prečo si ma tedy oklamal?

26 (CPDV) Laban responded, “It is not the practice in this place to give the younger in marriage first.
26 (ROH) A Lában povedal: Tu u nás sa nerobí tak, aby sa mladšia vydala prv ako staršia, prvorodená.

27 (CPDV) Complete a week of days with this mating. And then I will give this one to you also, for the service that you will provide to me for another seven years.”
27 (ROH) Vyplň týždeň tejto, a potom ti dáme i túto za službu, ktorú budeš slúžiť u mňa, ešte druhých sedem rokov.

28 (CPDV) He agreed to his pleading. And after the week had passed, he took Rachel as a wife.
28 (ROH) A Jakob urobil tak a vyplnil jej týždeň, a tak mu dal Rácheľ, svoju dcéru, jemu za ženu.

29 (CPDV) To her, the father had given Bilhah as her servant.
29 (ROH) A Lában dal Rácheli, svojej dcére, Bilhu, svoju dievku, jej za dievku.

30 (CPDV) And, having at last obtained the marriage he desired, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and he served with him another seven years.
30 (ROH) A vošiel i k Rácheli a miloval i Rácheľ, viac ako Leu, a slúžil u neho ešte druhých sedem rokov.

31 (CPDV) But the Lord, seeing that he despised Leah, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.
31 (ROH) A keď videl Hospodin, že je Lea nenávidená, otvoril jej život a Rácheľ zostala neplodnou.

32 (CPDV) Having conceived, she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Reuben, saying: “The Lord saw my humiliation; now my husband will love me.”
32 (ROH) A Lea počala a porodila syna a nazvala jeho nemo Rúben , lebo povedala: Hospodin istotne videl moje trápenie, lebo teraz ma už bude milovať môj muž.

33 (CPDV) And again she conceived and bore a son, and she said, “Because the Lord heard that I was treated with contempt, he has also given this one to me.” And she called his name Simeon.
33 (ROH) A opät počala a porodila syna a povedala: Hospodin istotne počul, že som nenávidená, a dal mi aj tohoto, preto nazvala jeho meno Šimon <Šimon = Simeon = Syn-počutia>.

34 (CPDV) And she conceived a third time, and she gave birth to another son, and she said: “Now likewise my husband will unite with me, because I have borne him three sons.” And because of this, she called his name Levi.
34 (ROH) A ešte počala a porodila syna a povedala: Teraz už, tento raz priľne môj muž ku mne, lebo som mu porodila troch synov a preto nazvali jeho meno Lévi .

35 (CPDV) A fourth time she conceived and bore a son, and she said, “Only now will I confess to the Lord.” And for this reason, she called him Judah. And she ceased from child-bearing.
35 (ROH) A ešte počala a porodila syna a povedala: Tento raz budem chváliť Hospodina, preto nazvala jeho meno Júda . A prestala rodiť.
