1 Mojžišova 31

1 Když pak uslyšel Jákob slova synů Lábanových, ani praví: Pobral Jákob všecko, co měl otec náš, a z těch věcí, kteréž byly otce našeho, způsobil sobě tu všecku slávu;

Someone told Jacob that Laban’s sons were complaining and saying, “Jacob has become very rich by taking everything [HYP] that belonged to our father.”

2 A viděl tvář Lábanovu, a aj, nebyla k němu tak jako prvé:

And Jacob noticed that Laban was not acting friendly toward him as he had done before.

3 I řekl mu Hospodin: Navrať se do země otců svých, a k příbuznosti své, a budu s tebou.

Then Yahweh said to Jacob, “Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will help you there.”

4 Protož poslav Jákob, vyvolal Ráchele a Líe na pole k stádu svému.

So Jacob sent a message to Rachel and Leah, telling them to come out to the pastures where his flocks of sheep and goats were.

5 A řekl jim: Vidím tvář otce vašeho, že není ke mně tak jako prvé, ješto Bůh otce mého byl se mnou.

When they arrived, he said to them, “I see that your father does not act friendly toward me as he did previously. But God, whom my father worshiped, has helped me.

6 A vy samy víte, že vší svou silou sloužil jsem otci vašemu.

You two know that I have worked very hard for your father,

7 Ale otec váš oklamal mne, a na desetkráte změnil mzdu mou; však nedopustil mu Bůh, aby mi zle učinil.

but many times [HYP] he has cheated me by decreasing my wages. But God has not allowed him to harm me.

8 Když takto řekl: Co bude peřestého, to nechť jest mzda tvá, tedy všecky ovce rodily peřestý plod. Když pak takto řekl: Co přepásaného na nohách, to bude mzda tvá, tedy všecky ovce rodily přepásané na nohách.

When Laban said, ‘The speckled animals are the ones that I will give you to be your wages,’ then all the animals gave birth to young ones that were speckled. When he changed and said, ‘The ones that have black and white stripes on them will be your wages,’ then all the animals gave birth to young ones that were striped.

9 A tak odjal Bůh stádo otce vašeho a dal mně.

In that way, God has taken away the livestock that belonged to your father and has given them to me.

10 Nebo takto bylo: Tehdáž, když se dobytek běžel, já jsem pozdvihl očí svých, a viděl jsem ve snách, a aj, berani scházející se s ovcemi byli přepásaní na nohách, peřestí a skropení.

“One time, when the animals were mating, I had a dream. In my dream I [looked up and was surprised to] see that some of the male goats that were mating with the female goats had black and white stripes on them, some were speckled, and some were spotted.

11 Tedy řekl mi anděl Boží ve snách: Jákobe! A já jsem odpověděl: Teď jsem.

An angel who was sent by God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob!’ I replied, ‘I am here!’

12 I řekl: Pozdvihni nyní očí svých a pohleď, že všickni berani scházející se s ovcemi jsou přepásaní na nohách, peřestí a skropení; nebo jsem viděl všecko, co tobě Lában dělá.

He said to me, ‘Look up and you will see that all the male goats that are mating have black and white stripes on them, or are speckled or spotted. This is happening because I have seen all that Laban has done to you.

13 Já jsem ten silný Bůh, kterýž jsem se ukázal tobě v Bethel, kdež jsi pomazal kamene, kdež jsi mi se slibem zavázal; vstaniž nyní, vyjdi z země této, a navrať se do země příbuznosti své.

I am God who appeared to you at Bethel, where you set up a stone to show that the place was holy, and you poured [olive] oil on the stone and made a solemn promise to me. So now leave this land immediately, and return to the land where you were born.’”

14 Tedy odpověděly mu Ráchel a Lía, řkouce: Zdaž ještě máme díl jaký a dědictví v domě otce našeho?

Rachel and Leah replied, “Our father will not give us anything more when he dies [RHQ].

15 Zdaliž nejsme počteny před ním za cizí? Nebo prodal nás, ano i peníze naše do čista utratil.

He treats us as though we were foreigners [RHQ]! [Your working for him all these years was like a payment] that you gave him as a price for us, but we will not inherit any of that money that he got as a price for us. He has spent it all!

16 Všecko zajisté bohatství, kteréž odjal Bůh otci našemu, naše jest a synů našich; protož nyní učiň vše, což mluvil tobě Bůh.

Surely all of the wealth that God took away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you to do!”

17 Vstav tedy Jákob, vsadil syny své a ženy své na velbloudy.

Then Jacob put his children and his wives on camels.

18 A pobral všecken dobytek svůj, a všecko jmění své, kteréhož byl dosáhl, dobytek svého vychování, kteréhož nabyl v Pádan Syrské, aby se navrátil k Izákovi otci svému do země Kananejské.

He made all his livestock go ahead of him. Besides the livestock, he took along all the other things that he had acquired while living in Paddan-Aram. And they prepared to return to his father Isaac, in the Canaan region.

19 (Lában pak byl odšel, aby střihl ovce své. V tom ukradla Ráchel modly, kteréž měl otec její.

Before they left, while Laban was shearing his sheep, Rachel stole the [small wooden] idols [that were in her father’s tent].

20 I ušel Jákob tajně od Lábana Syrského, neoznámiv mu, že jde pryč.)

Furthermore, Jacob deceived Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group, by not telling him that they were planning to leave.

21 Takž ušel se vším, což měl; a vstav, přepravil se přes řeku, a bral se přímo k hoře Galádské.

So Jacob and his family fled with all their possessions, and they crossed the Euphrates River, and then started traveling south toward the hilly Gilead region.

22 I povědíno jest Lábanovi dne třetího, že utekl Jákob.

On the third day after they left, someone told Laban that Jacob and his family had left.

23 Tedy on vzav bratří své s sebou, honil ho za dnů sedm; a postihl ho na hoře Galádské.

So he took some of his relatives with him and started to pursue Jacob. They continued walking for seven days.

24 (Přišed pak Bůh k Lábanovi Syrskému ve snách noci té, řekl mu: Varuj se, abys nemluvil s Jákobem nic jináč než přátelsky.)

Then God appeared to Laban in a dream at night, and said to him, “When you catch up to Jacob, be sure that you do not say anything at all [HYP] to him in an angry manner!”

25 Dohonil tedy Lában Jákoba; a Jákob již byl rozbil stan svůj na té hoře; Lában také položil se s bratřími svými na též hoře Galádské.

The next day, by the time Laban caught up with Jacob, Jacob and his household had set up their tents in the hilly Gilead region. So Laban and his relatives set up their tents there, too.

26 I řekl Lában k Jákobovi: Cos to učinil? Nebo jsi ušel tajně, a odvedls dcery mé jako zjímané mečem.

Then Laban went to Jacob and said to him, “Why have you done this? You have deceived me by carrying away my daughters as though you had captured them in a war [MTY]!

27 Proč jsi tajně utekl, a vykradl se ode mne, a nepověděls mi, ješto bych tě byl vesele sprovodil s zpěvy, s bubnem a s harfou?

Why did you run away and deceive me? Why did you not tell me that you were going to leave, so that we could have rejoiced and sung while people played music on tambourines and harps before I said ‘goodbye’ to you?

28 A nedopustils mi, abych políbil synů svých a dcer svých? Nemoudřes jistě udělal, čině tak.

(You did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye before they left!/Why did you not allow me to kiss my grandchildren and daughters goodbye before they left?) [RHQ] What you have done was foolish!

29 Mělť bych dosti s to moci, abych vám zle učinil, ale Bůh otce vašeho mluvil mi noci pominulé, řka: Hleď, abys nemluvil s Jákobem nic jináč, než přátelsky.

My relatives and I have the power to harm you, but last night the God whom your father worships said to me in a dream, ‘Be sure that you do not say anything at all to Jacob in an angry way.’

30 Ale již to tam, poněvadž jsi předce odšel, roztouživ se po domu otce svého; než proč jsi ukradl bohy mé?

Now, I know you have left because you long to go back home. But why did you steal my [wooden] idols?”

31 Tedy Jákob odpovídaje Lábanovi, řekl: Ušel jsem tajně; nebo jsem se bál a řekl jsem, že bys snad mocí odjal dcery své.

Jacob replied to Laban, saying, “I did not tell you that we were planning to leave, because I was afraid. I thought that [if I told you], you would forcefully take your daughters away from me.

32 Nalezneš-li pak u koho bohy své, nechať ten umře; před bratřími našimi ohledej sobě, jest-li co u mne tvého, a vezmi sobě. Ale nevěděl Jákob, že Ráchel je ukradla.

But if you find anyone here who has your wooden idols, we will execute that person. While our relatives are watching, search for yourself to see if there is anything that belongs to you that is here with me. If you find anything, you can take it!” When Jacob said that, he did not know that Rachel had stolen the wooden idols.

33 Všed tedy Lában do stanu Jákobova, a do stanu Líe, a do stanu obou děvek, nic nenalezl. A vyšed z stanu Líe, všel do stanu Ráchel.

Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and then into Leah’s tent, and then into the tents of the two female slaves and searched for the idols, but he did not find them. After he left their tents, he entered Rachel’s tent.

34 Ráchel pak vzavši modly, vložila je pod sedlo, kteréž na velbloudu bývá, a sedla na ně. I přemetal Lában všecken stan, ale nic nenalezl.

But Rachel had previously taken the idols and put them in the saddle of a camel, and she was sitting on the saddle. So when Laban searched all over for them inside Rachel’s tent, he did not find them.

35 A ona řekla otci svému: Nechť to není proti mysli, pane můj, že nemohu povstati proti tobě; nebo vedlé běhu ženského nyní mi se přihodilo. A všecko přehledav, nenalezl modl.

Rachel said to her father, “Do not be angry with me, sir, but I cannot get up in your presence [to show respect for you], because I am having my monthly menstrual period. [EUP]” So when Laban searched some more, he did not find the [wooden] idols.

36 Protož rozhněvav se Jákob, tuze se domlouval na Lábana. I odpověděl Jákob, a řekl Lábanovi: Jaké jest přestoupení mé? Jaký hřích můj, že rozpáliv se, honíš mne?

Then Jacob became angry. He rebuked Laban, saying, “What crime did I commit? For what sin that I committed have you pursued me?

37 Nu již jsi přemetal všecky mé věci, a cos nalezl ze všech věcí domu svého? Polož teď před bratřími mými a bratřími svými, nechť rozeznají mezi námi dvěma.

Now you have searched through all my possessions, and what did you find from all these possessions that belongs to you? Put it here in front of my relatives and your relatives, so that they can decide who is right, you or me!

38 Byl jsem již dvadceti let s tebou; ovce tvé ani kozy tvé nikdy nezmetaly; a skopců stáda tvého nejedl jsem.

I was with you for 20 years. In all that time, your sheep and goats have (not miscarried/always given birth to animals safely). I have not [killed and] eaten any rams from your flocks.

39 Co od zvěři roztrháno, toho jsem neodvodil tobě; sám jsem tu škodu nahražoval, a ty jsi z ruky mé vyhledával toho, jako i toho, co bylo ukradeno ve dne aneb v noci.

When one of your animals was attacked and mauled/killed by a wild animal, I did not bring it to you. I replaced the dead animal with a living one of my own animals. Whenever one of your animals was stolen, during the day or during the night, you demanded that I replace it with one of my own animals.

40 Bývalo tak, že ve dne trápilo mne horko, a v noci mráz, tak že odcházel i sen můj od očí mých.

I suffered from the heat during the day and from the cold at night. I was often not even able to sleep [PRS]!

41 Již dvadceti let, jakž jsem v domě tvém; sloužil jsem tobě čtrnácte let za dvě dcery tvé, a šest let za dobytek tvůj, a změnils mzdu mou na desetkrát.

I lived in your household for 20 years. I worked for you for 14 years to buy your two daughters, and for six more years to buy some of your sheep and goats. During that time, you changed and reduced my wages many times [HYP].

42 A kdyby Bůh otce mého, Bůh Abrahamův, a strach Izákův nebyl se mnou, jistě bys ty byl nyní pustil mne prázdného; ale trápení mé, a práci rukou mých viděl Bůh, protož tě pominulé noci trestal.

If God, the one whom my grandfather Abraham worshiped and before whom my father Isaac trembled in fear, had not been with me and helped me, you would have sent me away (with nothing in my hands/owning nothing)! But God saw how much I was suffering and how hard I was working, so last night he told you that what you have done to me was wrong.”

43 Odpovídaje pak Lában, dí Jákobovi: Dcery tyto jsou dcery mé a synové tito jsou synové moji, i dobytek tento můj dobytek jest, ano cokoli vidíš, mé jest; ale což mám již učiniti dcerám těmto svým aneb synům jich, kteréž zrodily?

Laban replied, “These two women are my daughters, and their children are my grandchildren, and the animals are my animals. Everything you see here is mine [HYP]! But what can I do today to keep my daughters or the children they have given birth to [RHQ]?

44 Protož poď, vejděme v smlouvu já a ty, aby byla na svědectví mezi mnou a tebou.

I cannot do anything in order to keep them, so hey, we should make a peace agreement, you and I, and do something that will remind us about our agreement.”

45 Tedy Jákob vzal kámen, a postavil jej vzhůru na znamení.

So Jacob took a [large] stone and set it on its end.

46 A řekl bratřím svým: Nasbírejte kamení. A nabravše kamení, udělali hromadu, a jedli tu na té hromadě.

Then Jacob said to his relatives, “You also gather some stones.” So they gathered some rocks and put them in a heap, and they ate some food there near the heap.

47 I nazval ji Lában Jegar Sahadutha, a Jákob nazval ji Gál Ed.

Laban gave the heap the Aramaic name Jegar-Sahadutha, [which means ‘rock-pile to remind us’, ] but Jacob gave the rock-pile the Hebrew name Galeed, [which has the same meaning].

48 Nebo řekl Lában: Tato hromada nechžť jest svědkem od dnešku mezi mnou a tebou. Protož nazval jméno její Gál Ed,

Laban said to Jacob, “This pile of rocks we have put here today will help us to remember our agreement.” That is why Jacob called it Galeed.

49 A Mispah; nebo řekl Lában: Nechať Hospodin hledí na mne a na tebe, když se rozejdeme od sebe.

They also named the place Mizpah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘watchtower’, ] because Laban said, “We will ask Yahweh to watch you and me while we are separated from each other, [so that we do not try to harm each other].

50 Jestliže bys trápil dcery mé, a uvedl bys jiné ženy na dcery mé, žádného člověka není s námi; hlediž, Bůh jest svědek mezi mnou a tebou.

If you mistreat my daughters, or if you take other women to be your wives, even if no one tells me about it, don’t forget that God sees what you and I are doing!”

51 A řekl ještě Lában Jákobovi: Aj, hromada tato, a aj, sloup, kterýž jsem postavil mezi sebou a tebou,

Laban also said to Jacob, “You see this large stone and this pile of rocks that we have set up to be between us.

52 Svědkem ať jest hromada tato, svědkem také sloup tento, já že nepůjdu dále k tobě za hromadu tuto, a ty tolikéž že nepůjdeš dále ke mně za hromadu tuto a sloup tento, k činění zlého.

Both this pile of rocks and this large stone will remind us, that I will not go past these rocks to harm you, and you will not go past these rocks to harm me.

53 Bůh Abrahamův, a Bůh Náchorův, Bůh otce jejich nechť soudí mezi námi. Přisáhl tedy Jákob skrze strach otce svého Izáka.

We will ask the God whom [your grandfather] Abraham and [his father] Nahor worshiped to punish [MTY] either one of us, [if we harm the other one].” So Jacob solemnly promised to do what they said in their peace agreement. And he asked God, the one before whom his father Isaac trembled, to listen to what they promised.

54 Nabil také Jákob hovad na té hoře, a pozval bratří svých, aby hodovali; i hodovali a zůstali přes noc na též hoře.

He offered a sacrifice to God there in the hilly area, and he invited his relatives to eat with him. After they had eaten, they slept there that night.

55 I vstal Lában velmi ráno, a políbiv synů svých a dcer svých, požehnal jich; i odšel a navrátil se k místu svému.

The next morning Laban kissed his grandchildren and his daughters [goodbye] and asked God to bless them. Then he [and his men] left them and returned home.
