¹

And Rachel having perceived that she bore Jacob no children, was jealous of her sister; and said to Jacob, Give me children; and if not, I shall die.

¹

Ви'дњвши же рахи'ль ја%ко не роди'ть і^а'ковђ, и^ вᲆзревнова` рахи'ль сестрњ` свое'и и^ рече і^аковђ даж'дь м^и ча'да. а%ще ли н^и т^о ё^мрђ` а%ꙁъ”

²

And Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said to her, Am I in the place of God, who has deprived thee of the fruit of the womb?

²

Раꙁ#гнњва же ся і^а'ковъ на рахи'ль, и^ рече` е'й, е^да въ б~ъ е^смь а%ꙁъ мњсто. и^л^и лиши'х тя плода` ё^тро'бнаго”

³

And Rachel said to Jacob, Behold my handmaid Balla, go in to her, and she shall bear upon my knees, and I also shall have children by her.

³

Рече' же рахиль къ і^а'ковђ, с^е раба` моя ва'лла въни'ди къ не'и и^ да роди'ть на лоно` мое`, сътворю' же и& сн~ъ, а%ꙁъ эT нея`

⁴

And she gave him Balla her maid, for a wife to him; and Jacob went in to her.

⁴

и^ да'сть е^мђ ва'ллђ рабђ` свою` въ женђ`”И$ вни'де к не'й і^а'ковъ,

⁵

And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

⁵

и^ ꙁача'тъ ва'лла раба` рахи'лина и^ роди` сн~ъ і^а'ковђ

⁶

And Rachel said, God has given judgment for me, and hearkened to my voice, and has given me a son; therefore she called his name, Dan.

⁶

и^ рече` рахиl пра'во сђди` м^и б~ъ. и^ послђ'ша гла'са мое^го, и^ да'сть ми сн~ъ, сего` ра'ди проꙁва` и%мя е^мђ да'нъ”

⁷

And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived yet again, and bore a second son to Jacob.

⁷

И$ ꙁача'тъ паки ва'лла раба` рахи'лина, и^ роди` сн~ъ вторы'и і^а'ковђ.

⁸

And Rachel said, God has helped me, and I contended with my sister and prevailed; and she called his name, Nephthalim.

⁸

и^ рече` рахи'ль подъя' мя б~ъ и^ съравниXся съ сестро'ю мое'ю и^ въꙁмого'хъ, и^ проꙁва` и%мя еh нефтали'мъ”

⁹

And Lea saw that she ceased from bearing, and she took Zelpha her maid, and gave her to Jacob for a wife; and he went in to her.

⁹

Ви'дњвши же лі'я, ја%ко преста'ла е^сть ражда'ти, поя` ꙁе'лџђ рабђ` свою`, и^ да'сть ю& і^а'ковђ въ женђ`,

¹⁰

And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

¹⁰

и^ зачаT зелфа раба` лїи'на, и^ роди і^а'ковђ сн~ь,

¹¹

And Lea said, It is happily: and she called his name, Gad.

¹¹

и^ реq лі'я бл~го слђчи'ся и^ нарече и%мя е^мђ га'дъ”

¹²

And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived yet again, and bore Jacob a second son.

¹²

И$ заче'нши паки ꙁе'лџа раба` лі'ина роди` і^а'ковђ сн~ъ вторы'й,

¹³

And Lea said, I am blessed, for the women will pronounce me blessed; and she called his name, Aser.

¹³

и^ рече лі'я блаже'на аZ, ја%ко ѓ^блажа'ть м^я вс^я жены`, и^ проꙁва` и%мя е^мђ а^си'ръ”

¹⁴

And Ruben went in the day of barley-harvest, and found apples of mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Lea; and Rachel said to Lea her sister, Give me of thy son's mandrakes.

¹⁴

И$де же рђви'м# въ дн~ь жа'твы пшени'ца, и^ ѓ^брњте ја%блоко мандраго'рова на' поли, и^ принесе` къ лі'и ма'тери свое'и” Рече' же рахи'ль къ сестрњ` свое'и лі'и, да'ждь ми эT мандраго'ръ сн~а свое^го.

¹⁵

And Lea said, Is it not enough for thee that thou hast taken my husband, wilt thou also take my son's mandrakes? And Rachel said, Not so: let him lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.

¹⁵

рече же лі'а не довлњ' ли т^и ја%ко эTпри'сни мђ'жа мое^го, н^о и^ мандраго'ры сн~а мое^го во'ꙁмеши” Реq же рахи'ль не та'ко н^о да бђдеть сея но'щи с тобо'ю, за маnдраго'ры сн~а твое^го,

¹⁶

And Jacob came in out of the field at even; and Lea went forth to meet him, and said, Thou shalt come in to me this day, for I have hired thee for my son's mandrakes; and he lay with her that night.

¹⁶

І$ и'де і^а'ковъ с по'ля въ ве'черъ, і^ и^ꙁы'де лі'а проти'вђ е^мђ. и^ рече къ мнњ` въни'ди дн~есь ная'ла бот^я е^смь, ꙁа мандраго'ры сн~а мое^го” Бысть же с не'ю тои` но'щи

¹⁷

And God hearkened to Lea, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

¹⁷

и^ послђ'ша б~ъ лі'и, ꙁаче'нши роди` і^а'ковђ сн~ъ пя'тый.

¹⁸

And Lea said, God has given me my reward, because I gave my maid to my husband; and she called his name Issachar, which is, Reward.

¹⁸

и^ рече` лі'я даs м^и б~ъ м#ꙁдђ мою`, ꙁане'же даX рабђ` мою` мђжђ мое^мђ, и^ проꙁва` и%мя е^мђ и^саха'ръ, се'же е^сть м#ꙁда`,

¹⁹

And Lea conceived again, and bore Jacob a sixth son.

¹⁹

и^ заче'нши лі'я роди` сн~ъ ше'стый, і^а'ковђ.

²⁰

And Lea said, God has given me a good gift in this time; my husband will choose me, for I have born him six sons: and she called his name, Zabulon.

²⁰

и^ рече лі'а дасть м^и б~ъ мо'й да'рь до'бръ въ нн~њшнее` врњмя`. въꙁлюби' мя мђж'ь мой. роди'хъ б^о е^мђ ше'сть сн~овъ, и^ проꙁва` и%мя е^мђ ꙁавђло'нъ.

²¹

And after this she bore a daughter; and she called her name, Dina.

²¹

и^ посе'мъ роди` е^мђ дще'рь, и^ проꙁва` и%мя е'й ди'на”

²²

And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and he opened her womb.

²²

Помянђ' же б~ъ рахи'ль, и^ ё^слы'ша ея` б~ъ и^ эTвр'ьꙁе ётро'бђ ея`

²³

And she conceived, and bore Jacob a son; and Rachel said, God has taken away my reproach.

²³

и^ ꙁаче'нши роди` і^а'ковђ сн~ъ. и^ реq рахи'ль эTвр'ьзе г~ь ё^тро'бђ мою`, ё^кори'ꙁнђ мою эTја%ть,

²⁴

And she called his name Joseph, saying, Let God add to me another son.

²⁴

и^ нарече и%мя е^мђ і^ѓ'сифъ, гл~ющи прида'сть м^и б~ъ сн~ъ дрђгїи”

²⁵

And it came to pass when Rachel had born Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my land.

²⁵

Бысть же ја%ко роди` рахи'ль і^ѓ'сифа, рече і^а'ковъ къ ла'ва'нђ, пђсти` м^я, да и^дђ` на мњсто мое`, и^ в зе'млю мою`

²⁶

Restore my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart, for thou knowest the service wherewith I have served thee.

²⁶

да'ждь ми жены` моя` и^ дњти моя`, и%хже ра'ди. рабо'тахъ тебњ`, да эти^дђ`, ты б^о вњси рабо'тђ ю%же рабо'тахъ т^и”

²⁷

And Laban said to him, If I have found grace in thy sight, I would augur well, for the Lord has blessed me at thy coming in.

²⁷

Рече же лава'нъ, а%ще е^смь ѓ^брњлъ блгDть прњд тобо'ю. да смоᲄрю` поне'же вMњ ја%ко блsви' м^я б~ъ прише'ствїемъ твои^мъ,

²⁸

Appoint me thy wages, and I will give them.

²⁸

эTлђчи` м#ꙁдђ свою` эT мене` и^ да'м ти”

²⁹

And Jacob said, Thou knowest in what things I have served thee, and how many cattle of thine are with me.

²⁹

Рече же і^а'ковъ т^ы вњси е^же рабо'таX тебњ` и^ коли'ко б^њ скота` твое^го ё^ мене`,

³⁰

For it was little thou hadst before my time, and it is increased to a multitude, and the Lord God has blessed thee since my coming; now then, when shall I set up also my own house?

³⁰

ма'ло б^њ твое^го ё^ мене`, и^ възрасте` въ мно'жество” И$ блsви тебњ` г~ь б~ъ прише'ствїемъ мои^мъ, нн~њ ё^бо да і^ а%ꙁъ сътворю` себњ домъ”

³¹

And Laban said to him, What shall I give thee? and Jacob said to him, Thou shalt not give me anything; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again tend thy flocks and keep them.

³¹

И$ рече къ немђ` лава'нъ что` ти даM. рече же і^а'ковᲆ не да'ждь ми ничто'же, а%ще сᲆᲄвори'ши с^е сло'во и^ па'ки да пасђ` ѓвца` твоя`, и^ съхраню`.

³²

Let all thy sheep pass by to-day, and separate thence every grey sheep among the rams, and every one that is speckled and spotted among the goats—this shall be my reward.

³²

ѓ^быди` вс^я ѓ^вца` твоя` нн~њ, и^ раꙁлђчи` эTтђ'дђ вся'кђ ѓ%вцђ пелњ'сђю въ ѓ^вцаX и^ всю` бњ'лђ, и^ пе'строе ё^ ѓ^вна'хъ и^ в коꙁаX да бђ'деть ми м#ꙁда` и^ бђдеть мое`

³³

And my righteousness shall answer for me on the morrow, for it is my reward before thee: whatever shall not be spotted and speckled among the goats, and grey among the rams, shall be stolen with me.

³³

и^ послђ'шае^тъ мене` пра'вда моя` въ ё%трешнїи дн~ь, ја%ко е^сть м#ꙁда` моя` предъ ᲄобо'ю” И$ все` е^же не пе'стро ни бњ'ло в коꙁа'хъ, и^ не пеле'со въ ѓ^вца'хъ эTлђче'ное, ё^кра'дено да бђдеT мною”

³⁴

And Laban said to him, Let it be according to thy word.

³⁴

Рече же е^мђ лава'нъ бђ'ди ја%коy гл~еши,

³⁵

And he separated in that day the spotted and speckled he-goats, and all the spotted and speckled she-goats, and all that was grey among the rams, and every one that was white among them, and he gave them into the hand of his sons.

³⁵

и^ раꙁлђчи` въ то'и дн~ь ко'ꙁы бњ'лыя` и^ пе'стрыя`, и^ вся` ко'ꙁы е^же б^њ бњ'ло и^ пе'стро в нихъ, и^ все` е^же пеле'со въ ѓ^вца'хъ, и^ въдасть въ рђцњ сн~омъ свои^мъ,

³⁶

And he set a distance of a three days' journey between them and Jacob. And Jacob tended the cattle of Laban that were left behind.

³⁶

и^ распђсти` я& три' дн~и пђти` междђ и^ми и^ междђ і^а'ковомъ” И$а'ков же пася'ше ѓ^вца` лавановы ѓ^ставшаа`.

³⁷

And Jacob took to himself green rods of storax tree and walnut and plane-tree; and Jacob peeled in them white stripes; and as he drew off the green, the white stripe which he had made appeared alternate on the rods.

³⁷

вꙁя' же і^а'ков# себњ` же'ꙁлъ стђраки'нинъ и^ ѓ^рњхов# и^ репи'ненъ, и^ ѓ^бњли` я& і^а'ковъ пестре'нїемъ бњ'лымъ сᲆстрђгая` корђ ја%вля'ше же ся на жеꙁлахъ бњло е^же ѓ^бњли` пе'стрымъ”

³⁸

And he laid the rods which he had peeled, in the hollows of the watering-troughs, that whensoever the cattle should come to drink, as they should have come to drink before the rods, the cattle might conceive at the rods.

³⁸

И$ положи` жеꙁлы` ја%же ѓ^бњли` в коры'техъ по'лныX воды` да гдњ` прїидђтъ ѓ^вца` пи'ти, въ жеꙁлы` зря'ть. и^ пришедши ѓ^вца` пи'ти зря'ще

³⁹

So the cattle conceived at the rods, and the cattle brought forth young speckled, and streaked and spotted with ash-coloured spots.

³⁹

въ жезлы`, и^ ражDахђ ѓ^вца` бњ'ло и^ пе'стро”

⁴⁰

And Jacob separated the lambs, and set before the sheep a speckled ram, and every variegated one among the lambs, and he separated flocks for himself alone, and did not mingle them with the sheep of Laban.

⁴⁰

Э/вны же раꙁлђчи` і^а'ковъ, и^ поста'ви прямо ѓ^вцамъ, ѓ^ве'нъ бњлъ, и^ ве'сь пе'стръ въ ѓ^вца'х, и^ раꙁлђчи` стадо к себњ`, и^ не смњси си'хъ съ ѓ^вцами лава'новыми”

⁴¹

And it came to pass in the time wherein the cattle became pregnant, conceiving in the belly, Jacob put the rods before the cattle in the troughs, that they might conceive by the rods.

⁴¹

Бысть же въ вре'мя въ не'же ѓ^вца ꙁачина'ющи въ' чревњ, положи` і^а'ковъ жеꙁлы` предᲆ ѓ^вцами в коры'техъ, да ꙁачинаю'тᲆ зря'ще въ жеꙁлы`,

⁴²

But he did not put them in indiscriminately whenever the cattle happened to bring forth, but the unmarked ones were Laban's, and the marked ones Jacob's.

⁴²

е^гда` роди'ша ѓ^вца` не положи`” И$ быша неꙁна'меныа` лаваня а^ ꙁна'меныя і^а'ковля.

⁴³

And the man became very rich, and he had many cattle, and oxen, and servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses.

⁴³

и^ раꙁбогатњ` мђ'жъ ѕело ѕело, и^ бысть е^мђ скоT мно'гъ въло'ве рабы` и^ рабыня, и веlблю'ды и^ ѓ^слы`”
