< Postanak 35 >

1 Bog reče Jakovu: “Ustani, idi gore u Betel te ondje ostani! Načini ondje žrtvenik Bogu koji ti se objavio kad si bježao od svoga brata Ezava!”
And God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."
2 I Jakov reče svojoj obitelji i svima koji bijahu s njime: “Odbacite tuđe kumire koji se nalaze u vašoj sredini; očistite se i preobucite.
Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have among you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.
3 Idemo gore u Betel; ondje ću načiniti žrtvenik Bogu, koji me uslišao kad sam bio u nevolji i sa mnom bio na putu kojim sam hodio.”
Let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I went."
4 Oni predaju Jakovu sve tuđe kumire što su ih imali i naušnice što su bile o njihovim ušima, pa ih Jakov zakopa pod hrast kod Šekema.
So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their possession, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak that was near Shechem.
5 Kad su se zaputili, strah od Boga spopadne okolišna mjesta, tako da nisu išli u potjeru za Jakovljevim sinovima.
Then they set out, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
6 Jakov stigne u Luz, to jest Betel, u zemlji kanaanskoj, i sav puk što je bio s njim.
So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
7 Ondje sagradi žrtvenik i mjesto nazva El Betel, jer mu se ondje Bog objavio kad on bježaše pred svojim bratom Ezavom.
He built an altar there, and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.
8 Tada umre Rebekina dojilja Debora te je sahraniše pod Betelom, pod hrastom, koji se otad zove “Tužni hrast”.
Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak outside Bethel. So he called its name Allon Bakuth.
9 Bog se opet objavi Jakovu kad je stigao iz Padan Arama, te ga blagoslovi.
And God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.
10 Bog mu reče: “Ime ti je Jakov, ali se odsad nećeš zvati Jakov nego će Izrael biti tvoje ime.” Tako ga prozva Izraelom.
God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but your name will be Israel." So he called his name Israel.
11 Onda mu Bog reče: “Ja sam El Šadaj - Bog Svesilni! Budi rodan i množi se! Od tebe poteći će narod, mnoštvo naroda, i kraljevi iz tvog će izaći krila.
And God said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.
12 Zemlju što je dadoh Abrahamu i Izaku tebi predajem; i potomstvu tvojem poslije tebe zemlju ću ovu dati.”
The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you."
13 A onda Bog ode od njega gore.
Then God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
14 Na mjestu gdje je Bog s njim govorio Jakov uspravi stup, stup od kamena; na njemu prinese žrtvu i izli ulja.
And Jacob set up a standing-stone in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.
15 A mjesto gdje mu je Bog govorio Jakov nazva Betel.
Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel.
16 Potom odu iz Betela. Još bijaše malo puta do Efrate, a Rahela se nađe pri porođaju. Napali je teški trudovi.
Then they set out from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel went into labor, and her labor was difficult.
17 Kad su joj porođajni bolovi bili najteži, reče joj babica: “Ne boj se jer ti je i ovo sin!”
When she was in the difficult labor, the midwife said to her, "Do not be afraid, for now you have another son."
18 Kad se rastavljala s dušom - jer umiraše Rahela - nadjenu sinu ime Ben Oni; ali ga otac prozva Benjamin.
It happened, as her life was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-Oni, but his father named him Benjamin.
19 Tako umrije Rahela. Sahrane je na putu u Efratu, to jest Betlehem.
So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
20 A na njezinu grobu Jakov podigne spomenik - onaj što je na Rahelinu grobu do danas.
Jacob set up a standing-stone on her grave. It is the standing-stone of Rachel's grave to this day.
21 Izrael krenu dalje te razape svoj šator s onu stranu Migdal-Edera.
And Israel traveled and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.
22 Dok je Izrael boravio u onom kraju, ode Ruben i legne s Bilhom, priležnicom svoga oca. Sazna za to Izrael. Izrael je imao dvanaest sinova.
It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's secondary wife, and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
23 S Leom: Rubena, koji je Jakovljev prvorođenac, Šimuna, Levija, Judu, Jisakara i Zebuluna;
The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 s Rahelom: Josipa i Benjamina;
The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
25 s Bilhom, Rahelinom sluškinjom: Dana i Naftalija;
And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali.
26 sa Zilpom, sluškinjom Leinom: Gada i Ašera. To su Jakovljevi sinovi što su mu se rodili u Padan Aramu.
And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
27 Jakov dođe k svome ocu Izaku u Mamru u Kirjat Arbu, to je Hebron - gdje su boravili Abraham i Izak kao pridošlice.
So Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre in Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.
28 Kad je Izaku bilo sto i osamdeset godina, umrije.
Now the days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.
29 Izak izdahne i umre, starac i godinama zasićen, te bude pridružen svojim precima. Sahrane ga njegovi sinovi, Ezav i Jakov.
And Isaac took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
