Kniha Genezis

1 (KJV) Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
1 (KAT) Potom sa Jakub vydal na cestu a šiel do krajiny synov Východu.

2 (KJV) And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.
2 (KAT) I zadíval sa (raz) a hľa, na poli studňa a pri nej ležali tri kŕdle oviec, lebo z tejto studne napájavali stáda. Lenže kameň na otvore studne bol veľký

3 (KJV) And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.
3 (KAT) a len keď ta zohnali všetky stáda, odvaľovali kameň z otvoru studne a tak napájali ovce. Potom dávali kameň opäť na svoje miesto na otvor studne.

4 (KJV) And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
4 (KAT) Jakub sa ich opýtal: „Bratia moji, odkiaľ ste?“ Oni odvetili: „My sme z Haranu.“

5 (KJV) And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
5 (KAT) Nato im povedal: „Poznáte Nachorovho syna Labana?“ Oni odpovedali: „Poznáme.“

6 (KJV) And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
6 (KAT) A keď sa ich pýtal: „Vodí sa mu dobre?“, oni odvetili: „Dobre. Hľa, práve prichádza jeho dcéra Ráchel s ovcami.“

7 (KJV) And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
7 (KAT) On im povedal: „Veď je ešte deň dosť dlhý a ešte nie je čas zohnať dobytok dovedna. Napojte ovce a nechajte sa im ešte popásť!“

8 (KJV) And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
8 (KAT) Oni však povedali: „To nemôžeme, kým nebudú zohnaté dovedna všetky stáda. Až potom sa odvaľuje kameň z otvoru studne a napájame stáda.“

9 (KJV) And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
9 (KAT) Kým on s nimi rozprával, došla Ráchel s ovcami svojho otca. Ona ich totiž pásla.

10 (KJV) And it came to pass, 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.
10 (KAT) Keď Jakub videl Ráchel, dcéru brata svojej matky Labana, a ovce brata svojej matky Labana, pristúpil a odvalil kameň z otvoru studne a napojil ovce matkinho brata Labana.

11 (KJV) And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
11 (KAT) Potom Jakub pobozkal Ráchel a začal hlasno plakať.

12 (KJV) And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
12 (KAT) A Jakub rozprával Ráchel, že je príbuzným jej otca a že je Rebekiným synom. Tu ona utekala a oznámila to svojmu otcovi.

13 (KJV) And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
13 (KAT) Keď Laban počul zvesť o Jakubovi, synovi svojej sestry, ponáhľal sa mu naproti, pobozkal ho a voviedol ho do svojho domu. A on vyrozprával Labanovi všetko, čo sa prihodilo.

14 (KJV) And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
14 (KAT) Tu mu povedal Laban: „Ty si naozaj moja kosť a moje mäso!“ A ostal uňho na mesiac.

15 (KJV) And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
15 (KAT) Potom Laban hovoril Jakubovi: „Ty si môj príbuzný. Vari mi budeš zadarmo slúžiť? Povedz mi, aká má byť tvoja odmena?“

16 (KJV) And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
16 (KAT) Laban mal dve dcéry: staršia sa volala Lia a mladšia Ráchel.

17 (KJV) Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
17 (KAT) Lia mala oči bez lesku, Ráchel však bola krásna i postavou i tvárou.

18 (KJV) And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
18 (KAT) Jakub sa zamiloval do Ráchel a povedal: „Za tvoju mladšiu dcéru ti budem slúžiť sedem rokov.“

19 (KJV) And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
19 (KAT) Laban odvetil: „Radšej ju dám tebe ako cudziemu mužovi. Ostaň pri mne!“

20 (KJV) And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
20 (KAT) Tak Jakub slúžil za Ráchel sedem rokov a videlo sa mu to len niekoľko dní. Tak ju mal rád.

21 (KJV) And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
21 (KAT) Potom povedal Jakub Labanovi: „Daj mi teraz moju ženu, lebo môj čas je už tu. Nech k nej vojdem.“

22 (KJV) And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
22 (KAT) Vtedy Laban pozval všetkých ľudí z miesta a pripravil hostinu.

23 (KJV) And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
23 (KAT) Večer však zobral svoju dcéru Liu a voviedol ju k Jakubovi a on s ňou obcoval.

24 (KJV) And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
24 (KAT) Laban dal svoju slúžku Zelfu svojej dcére Lii za slúžku.

25 (KJV) And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
25 (KAT) Ale ráno videl, že to bola Lia, a povedal Labanovi: „Prečo si mi to urobil?! Neslúžil som ti za Ráchel?! Prečo si ma podviedol?“

26 (KJV) And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
26 (KAT) Laban mu odpovedal: „V našom kraji sa nerobí tak, aby sa mladšia vydala pred staršou.

27 (KJV) Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
27 (KAT) Dokonči tento (svadobný) týždeň a potom ti dám aj tú za službu, ktorú mi budeš robiť ešte ďalších sedem rokov.“

28 (KJV) And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
28 (KAT) A Jakub to urobil, dokončil (svadobný) týždeň a on mu dal svoju dcéru Ráchel za ženu.

29 (KJV) And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
29 (KAT) Laban dal svoju slúžku Balu svojej dcére Ráchel za slúžku.

30 (KJV) And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
30 (KAT) A on obcoval aj s Ráchel, lebo Ráchel mal radšej ako Liu, a slúžil uňho ešte ďalších sedem rokov.

31 (KJV) And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
31 (KAT) Keď však Pán videl, že Lia je odstrčená, otvoril jej život, kým Ráchel bola neplodná.

32 (KJV) And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
32 (KAT) Lia počala a porodila syna a nazvala ho Rubenom, vraviac: „Pán zhliadol na moje poníženie, teraz ma môj muž bude už ľúbiť.“

33 (KJV) And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
33 (KAT) A opäť počala a porodila syna a povedala: „Pán počul, že som odstrčená, a tak mi dal aj tohto.“ A nazvala ho Simeonom.

34 (KJV) And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
34 (KAT) Opäť počala a porodila syna a hovorila: „Teraz už môj muž prilipne ku mne, keď som mu porodila troch synov.“ Preto ho nazvala Lévi.

35 (KJV) And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
35 (KAT) A počala ešte raz a porodila syna a povedala: „Teraz velebím Pána!“ Preto ho nazvala Júda. Potom prestala rodiť.
