< 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!”
God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
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, “Put away the foreign gods that are amongst you, purify yourselves, and change your garments.
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’s arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me on the way which 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.
They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
5 Kad su se zaputili, strah od Boga spopadne okolišna mjesta, tako da nisu išli u potjeru za Jakovljevim sinovima.
They travelled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t 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 Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 Tada umre Rebekina dojilja Debora te je sahraniše pod Betelom, pod hrastom, koji se otad zove “Tužni hrast”.
Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.
9 Bog se opet objavi Jakovu kad je stigao iz Padan Arama, te ga blagoslovi.
God appeared to Jacob again, when he came 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 shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel.” He named him 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.
God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of 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 it to you, and to your offspring after you I will give the land.”
13 A onda Bog ode od njega gore.
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.
Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. 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.
They travelled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labour.
17 Kad su joj porođajni bolovi bili najteži, reče joj babica: “Ne boj se jer ti je i ovo sin!”
When she was in hard labour, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”
18 Kad se rastavljala s dušom - jer umiraše Rahela - nadjenu sinu ime Ben Oni; ali ga otac prozva Benjamin.
As her soul was departing (for she died), she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.
19 Tako umrije Rahela. Sahrane je na putu u Efratu, to jest Betlehem.
Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).
20 A na njezinu grobu Jakov podigne spomenik - onaj što je na Rahelinu grobu do danas.
Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.
21 Izrael krenu dalje te razape svoj šator s onu stranu Migdal-Edera.
Israel travelled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of 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.
While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard of 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), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 s Rahelom: Josipa i Benjamina;
The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
25 s Bilhom, Rahelinom sluškinjom: Dana i Naftalija;
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.
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.
Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.
28 Kad je Izaku bilo sto i osamdeset godina, umrije.
The days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years.
29 Izak izdahne i umre, starac i godinama zasićen, te bude pridružen svojim precima. Sahrane ga njegovi sinovi, Ezav i Jakov.
Isaac gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
