Postanak 28
1 Stoga Izak pozove Jakova, blagoslovi ga te mu naloži: “Nemoj uzimati ženu od kanaanskih djevojaka.
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
2 Odmah se zaputi u Padan Aram, u dom Betuela, oca svoje majke, pa odande sebi uzmi ženu, od kćeri Labana, brata svoje majke.
Arise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father, and take a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
3 A Bog Svemožni, El-Šadaj, neka te blagoslovi i neka te učini rodnim i brojnim, tako da postaneš mnoštvo naroda.
And the Almighty God bless thee, and make thee fruitful and multiply thee, that thou mayest become a company of peoples.
4 Neka protegne na te blagoslov Abrahamov, na te i na tvoje potomstvo, tako da zaposjedneš zemlju u kojoj boraviš kao pridošlica, a koju je Bog predao Abrahamu!”
And may he give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee, in order that thou mayest possess the land of thy sojourning, which God gave to Abraham!
5 Tako Izak otpremi Jakova, i on ode u Padan Aram Labanu, sinu Aramejca Betuela, bratu Rebeke, majke Jakova i Ezava.
And Isaac sent away Jacob; and he went to Padan-Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
6 Kad je Ezav vidio kako je Izak blagoslovio Jakova kad ga je otpremao u Padan Aram da odande sebi uzme ženu, naređujući mu kad ga je blagoslivljao: “Ne smiješ uzeti ženu od kanaanskih djevojaka”,
And Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-Aram, to take a wife thence, blessing him, and giving him a charge saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
7 i da je Jakov poslušao svoga oca i svoju majku te otišao u Padan Aram,
and [that] Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-Aram.
8 Ezav shvati koliko su djevojke kanaanske mrske njegovu ocu Izaku.
And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the sight of Isaac his father.
9 Stoga ode k Jišmaelu te se, uza žene koje već imaše, oženi Mahalatom, kćerju Jišmaela, sina Abrahamova, a sestrom Nebajotovom.
And Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
10 Jakov ostavi Beer Šebu i zaputi se u Haran.
And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went towards Haran.
11 Stigne u neko mjesto i tu prenoći, jer sunce bijaše već zašlo. Uzme jedan kamen s onog mjesta, stavi ga pod glavu i na tom mjestu legne.
And he lighted on a certain place, and lodged there, because the sun had set. And he took [one] of the stones of the place, and made [it] his pillow, and lay down in that place.
12 I usne san: ljestve stoje na zemlji, a vrhom do neba dopiru, i anđeli Božji po njima se penju i silaze.
And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to the heavens. And behold, angels of God ascended and descended upon it.
13 Uza nj je Jahve te mu govori: “Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoga praoca Abrahama i Bog Izakov. Zemlju na kojoj ležiš dat ću tebi i tvome potomstvu.
And behold, Jehovah stood above it. And he said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham, thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.
14 Tvojih će potomaka biti kao i praha na zemlji; raširit ćete se na zapad, istok, sjever i jug; tobom će se i tvojim potomstvom blagoslivljati svi narodi zemlje.
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 Dobro znaj: ja sam s tobom; čuvat ću te kamo god pođeš te ću te dovesti natrag u ovu zemlju; i neću te ostaviti dok ne izvršim što sam ti obećao.”
And behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] to which thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee until I have done what I have spoken to thee of.
16 Jakov se probudi od sna te reče: “Zaista se Jahve nalazi na ovome mjestu, ali ja nisam znao!”
And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew [it] not.
17 Potresen, uzviknu: “Kako je strašno ovo mjesto! Zaista, ovo je kuća Božja, ovo su vrata nebeska!”
And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
18 Rano ujutro Jakov uzme onaj kamen što ga bijaše stavio pod glavu, uspravi ga kao stup i po vrhu mu izlije ulja.
And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had made his pillow, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
19 Ono mjesto on nazva Betel, dok je ime tome gradu prije bilo Luz.
And he called the name of that place Beth-el; but the name of that city was Luz at the first.
20 Tada učini zavjet: “Ako Bog ostane sa mnom i uščuva me na ovom putu kojim idem, dade mi kruha da jedem i odijela da se oblačim,
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and keep me on this road that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and a garment to put on,
21 te se zdravo vratim kući svoga oca, Jahve će biti moj Bog.
and I come again to my father's house in peace — then shall Jehovah be my God.
22 A ovaj kamen koji sam uspravio kao stup bit će kuća Božja. A od svega što mi budeš davao za te ću odlagati desetinu.”
And this stone, which I have set up [for] a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that thou wilt give me I will without fail give the tenth to thee.
