Kniha Genezis

1 (CPDV) Then Rachel, discerning that she was infertile, envied her sister, and so she said to her husband, “Give me children, otherwise I will die.”
1 (ROH) A keď videla Rácheľ, že nerodí Jakobovi, závidela svojej sestre a povedala Jakobovi: Daj mi synov;lebo ak nedáš, zomriem.

2 (CPDV) Jacob, being angry, responded to her, “Am I in the place of God, who has deprived you of the fruit of your womb?”
2 (ROH) Vtedy sa rozhneval Jakob na Rácheľ a povedal: Či som ja na mieste Boha, ktorý ti odoprel plod života?

3 (CPDV) But she said: “I have a handmaid Bilhah. Go in to her, so that she may give birth upon my knees, and I may have sons by her.”
3 (ROH) Na to povedala: Hľa, tam je moja dievka Bilha, vojdi k nej, a porodí na moje kolená, a budem i ja mať z nej synov.

4 (CPDV) And she gave him Bilhah in marriage.
4 (ROH) A dala mu Bilhu, svoju dievku, za ženu. A Jakob vošiel k nej.

5 (CPDV) And when her husband had gone in to her, she conceived and bore a son.
5 (ROH) A Bilha počala a porodila Jakobovi syna.

6 (CPDV) And Rachel said, “The Lord has judged for me, and he has heeded my voice, giving me a son.” And because of this, she called his name Dan.
6 (ROH) Vtedy povedala Rácheľ: Bôh rozsúdil moju vec aj uslyšal môj hlas a dal mi syna. Preto nazvala jeho meno Dán .

7 (CPDV) And conceiving again, Bilhah bore another,
7 (ROH) A ešte počala a porodila Bilha, dievka Ráchelina, Jakobovi druhého syna.

8 (CPDV) about whom Rachel said, “God has compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed.” And she called him Naphtali.
8 (ROH) A Rácheľ povedala: Borby Božie som sa borila so svojou sestrou aj som premohla a nazvala jeho meno Naftali .

9 (CPDV) Leah, perceiving that she had desisted from child-bearing, delivered Zilpah, her handmaid, to her husband.
9 (ROH) A keď videla Lea, že prestala rodiť, vzala Zilfu, svoju dievku, a dala ju Jakobovi za ženu.

10 (CPDV) And she, after having borne a son with difficulty,
10 (ROH) A Zilfa, dievka Leina, porodila Jakobovi syna.

11 (CPDV) said: “Happiness!” And for this reason, she called his name Gad.
11 (ROH) Vtedy povedala Lea: Zástupom prichádzajú, a nazvala jeho meno Gád .

12 (CPDV) Likewise, Zilpah bore another.
12 (ROH) A Zilfa, dievka Leina, porodila Jakobovi druhého syna.

13 (CPDV) And Leah said, “This one is for my happiness. Indeed, women will call me blessed.” Because of this, she called him Asher.
13 (ROH) A Lea povedala: To na moje blahoslavenstvo, lebo ma budú blahoslaviť dcéry, a nazvala jeho meno Aser .

14 (CPDV) Then Reuben, going out into the field at the time of the wheat harvest, found mandrakes. These he brought to his mother Leah. And Rachel said, “Give me a portion of your son’s mandrakes.”
14 (ROH) A 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!

15 (CPDV) She responded, “Does it seem like such a small matter to you, that you have usurped from me my husband, unless you will also take my son’s mandrakes?” Rachel said, “He will sleep with you this night because of your son’s mandrakes.”
15 (ROH) Ale 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.

16 (CPDV) And when Jacob returned from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and she said, “You will enter to me, because I have hired you for the reward of my son’s mandrakes.” And he slept with her that night.
16 (ROH) Keď 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.

17 (CPDV) And God heard her prayers. And she conceived and bore a fifth son.
17 (ROH) A Bôh uslyšal Leu, a počala a porodila Jakobovi piateho syna.

18 (CPDV) And she said, “God has given a reward to me, because I gave my handmaid to my husband.” And she called his name Issachar.
18 (ROH) A Lea povedala: Bôh mi dal moju mzdu, keď som dala svojmu mužovi svoju dievku, a nazvala jeho meno Izachár .

19 (CPDV) Conceiving again, Leah bore a sixth son.
19 (ROH) A ešte počala Lea a porodila Jakobovi šiesteho syna.

20 (CPDV) And she said: “God has endowed me with a good dowry. And now, at this turn, my husband will be with me, because I have conceived six sons for him.” And therefore she called his name Zebulun.
20 (ROH) A 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 .

21 (CPDV) After him, she bore a daughter, named Dinah.
21 (ROH) Potom porodila dcéru a nazvala jej meno Dína .

22 (CPDV) The Lord, likewise remembering Rachel, heeded her and opened her womb.
22 (ROH) A Bôh sa rozpamätal na Rácheľ a uslyšal ju Bôh a otvoril jej život.

23 (CPDV) And she conceived and bore a son, saying, “God has taken away my reproach.”
23 (ROH) A počala a porodila syna a povedala: Bôh odňal moje pohanenie,

24 (CPDV) And she called his name Joseph, saying, “The Lord has added to me another son.”
24 (ROH) a nazvala jeho meno Jozef ; lebo povedala: Nech mi pridá Hospodin aj druhého syna!

25 (CPDV) But when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father-in-law: “Release me, so that I may return to my native country and to my land.
25 (ROH) A stalo sa, keď porodila Rácheľ Jozefa, že Jakob povedal Lábanovi: Prepusti ma, a pojdem na svoje miesto a do svojej zeme.

26 (CPDV) Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served you, so that I may depart. You know the servitude with which I have served you.”
26 (ROH) Daj 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.

27 (CPDV) Laban said to him: “May I find grace in your sight. I have learned by experience that God has blessed me because of you.
27 (ROH) A Lában mu povedal: Ak som našiel milosť v tvojich očiach, zostaň; lebo badám, že ma Hospodin žehnal pre teba.

28 (CPDV) Choose your wages, which I will give you.”
28 (ROH) A dodal: Udaj mi svoju mzdu, a dám.

29 (CPDV) But he responded: “You know how I have served you, and how great your possession became in my hands.
29 (ROH) A on mu povedal: Ty vieš, ako som ti slúžil, ako aj to, jaký bol tvoj dobytok u mňa.

30 (CPDV) You had little before I came to you, and now you have achieved riches. And the Lord has blessed you since my arrival. It is just, therefore, that at sometime I also should provide for my 18 own house.”
30 (ROH) Lebo 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?

31 (CPDV) And Laban said, “What shall I give to you?” But he said, “I want nothing. But if you will do what I ask, I will feed and guard your sheep again.
31 (ROH) A povedal: Čo ti mám dať? A Jakob odpovedal: Nedáš mi ničoho. Ak mi urobíš túto vec, budem zase pásť tvoje stádo a strážiť.

32 (CPDV) Go around through all your flocks and separate all the sheep of variegated or spotted fleece; and whatever will be darkened or blemished or variegated, as much among the sheep as among the goats, will be my wages.
32 (ROH) Prejdem 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.

33 (CPDV) And my justice will answer on my behalf tomorrow, when the time of settlement arrives before you. And all that is not variegated or blemished or darkened, as much among the sheep as among the goats, these will prove me to be a thief.”
33 (ROH) A 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.

34 (CPDV) And Laban said, “I hold favor for this request.”
34 (ROH) A Lában povedal: Hľa, bárs by bolo podľa tvojho slova!

35 (CPDV) And on that day he separated the she-goats, and the sheep, and the he-goats, and the rams with variegations or with blemishes. But every one of the flock which was of one color, that is, of white or of black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons.
35 (ROH) A 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.

36 (CPDV) And he established a distance of three days journey between himself and his son-in-law, who pastured the remainder of his flock.
36 (ROH) A urobil medzi sebou a medzi Jakobom vzdialenosť cesty troch dní. A Jakob pásol ostatok drobného stáda Lábanovho.

37 (CPDV) Then Jacob, taking green branches of poplar, and almond, and sycamore trees, debarked them in part. And when the bark was pulled off, in the parts that were stripped, there appeared whiteness, yet the parts that were left whole, remained green. And so, in this way the color was made variegated.
37 (ROH) A Jakob si nabral topoľových prútov zelených i lieskových i kaštanových a nalúpal na nich bielych lupín obnažujúc bielosť, ktorá bola na prútoch.

38 (CPDV) And he placed them in the troughs, where the water was poured out, so that when the flocks had arrived to drink, they would have the branches before their eyes, and in their sight they might conceive.
38 (ROH) A nastaväl prútov, ktoré olúpal, do žľabov, do válovov na vodu, kam prichádzalo stádo piť, pred stádo, aby počínaly, keď prichádzaly piť.

39 (CPDV) And it happened that, in the very heat of joining together, the sheep looked upon the branches, and they bore the blemished and the variegated, those speckled with diverse color.
39 (ROH) A tak počínalo stádo hľadiac na prúty, a stádo rodilo pásikavé, bodkasté a strakaté.

40 (CPDV) And Jacob divided the flock, and he set the branches in the troughs before the eyes of the rams. Now whatever was white or black belonged to Laban, but, in truth, the others belonged to Jacob, for the flocks were dispersed among one another.
40 (ROH) Tak 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.

41 (CPDV) Therefore, when the first to arrive were climbing on the ewes, Jacob placed the branches in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams and the sheep, so that they might conceive while they were gazing upon them.
41 (ROH) A 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.

42 (CPDV) Yet when the late arrivals and the last to conceive were let in, he did not place these. And so those that arrived late became Laban’s, and those that arrived first became Jacob’s.
42 (ROH) Keď zase bolo pripúšťané slabšie zo stáda, nekládol ich. A takým činom bolo čo slabšie Lábanovo a čo silnejšie Jakobovo.

43 (CPDV) And the man was enriched beyond limit, and he had many flocks, women servants and men servants, camels and donkeys.
43 (ROH) A človek sa rozmohol náramne a mal mnoho stáda a slúžek a sluhov a veľblúdov a oslov.
