Postanak 28
1 Stoga Izak pozove Jakova, blagoslovi ga te mu naloži: “Nemoj uzimati ženu od kanaanskih djevojaka.
Then Izhak called Iaakob and blessed him, and charged him, and sayde vnto him, Take not 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, get thee to Padan Aram to the house of Bethuel thy mothers father, and thence take thee a wife of the daughters of Laban thy mothers brother.
3 A Bog Svemožni, El-Šadaj, neka te blagoslovi i neka te učini rodnim i brojnim, tako da postaneš mnoštvo naroda.
And God all sufficient blesse thee, and make thee to encrease, and multiplie thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people,
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 giue thee the blessing of Abraham, euen to thee and to thy seede with thee, that thou mayest inherite the lande (wherein thou art a stranger, ) which God gaue vnto Abraham.
5 Tako Izak otpremi Jakova, i on ode u Padan Aram Labanu, sinu Aramejca Betuela, bratu Rebeke, majke Jakova i Ezava.
Thus Izhak sent forth Iaakob, and he went to Padan Aram vnto Laban sonne of Bethuel the Aramite, brother to Rebekah, Iaakobs and Esaus 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”,
When Esau sawe that Izhak had blessed Iaakob, and sent him to Padan Aram, to set him a wife thence, and giuen him a charge when he blessed him, 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 Iaakob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan Aram:
8 Ezav shvati koliko su djevojke kanaanske mrske njegovu ocu Izaku.
Also Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan displeased Izhak his father,
9 Stoga ode k Jišmaelu te se, uza žene koje već imaše, oženi Mahalatom, kćerju Jišmaela, sina Abrahamova, a sestrom Nebajotovom.
Then went Esau to Ishmael, and tooke vnto the wiues, which he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abrahams sonne, the sister of Nabaioth, to be his wife.
10 Jakov ostavi Beer Šebu i zaputi se u Haran.
Now Iaakob departed from Beer-sheba, and went to 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 came vnto a certaine place, and taried there al night, because the sunne was downe, and tooke of the stones of the place, and layde vnder his head and slept in the same place.
12 I usne san: ljestve stoje na zemlji, a vrhom do neba dopiru, i anđeli Božji po njima se penju i silaze.
Then he dreamed, and behold, there stoode a ladder vpon the earth, and the top of it reached vp to heauen: and loe, the Angels of God went vp and downe by 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, the Lord stoode aboue it, and sayd, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Izhak: the land, vpon the which thou sleepest, wil I giue thee and thy seede.
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 seede 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 seede 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 lo, I am with thee, and wil keepe thee whithersoeuer thou goest, and will bring thee againe into this lande: for I will not forsake thee vntill I haue performed that, that I haue promised thee.
16 Jakov se probudi od sna te reče: “Zaista se Jahve nalazi na ovome mjestu, ali ja nisam znao!”
Then Iaakob awoke out of his sleepe, and sayde, Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware.
17 Potresen, uzviknu: “Kako je strašno ovo mjesto! Zaista, ovo je kuća Božja, ovo su vrata nebeska!”
And he was afraid, and said, How fearefull is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heauen.
18 Rano ujutro Jakov uzme onaj kamen što ga bijaše stavio pod glavu, uspravi ga kao stup i po vrhu mu izlije ulja.
Then Iaakob rose vp early in the morning, and tooke the stone that hee had layde vnder his head, and set it vp as a pillar, and powred oyle vpon the top of it.
19 Ono mjesto on nazva Betel, dok je ime tome gradu prije bilo Luz.
And he called ye name of that place Bethel: notwithstanding the name of the citie was at the first called Luz.
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,
Then Iaakob vowed a vowe, saying, If God will be with me, and will keepe me in this iourney which I go, and wil giue me bread to eate, and clothes to put on:
21 te se zdravo vratim kući svoga oca, Jahve će biti moj Bog.
So that I come againe vnto my fathers house in safetie, then shall the Lord 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 haue set vp as a pillar, shall be Gods house: and of all that thou shalt giue me, wil I giue the tenth vnto thee.
