Genesis 31
1 And Jacob heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, Jacob has taken all that was our father's, and of our father's property has he gotten all this glory.
Uto Jakov dozna kako Labanovi sinovi govore: “Sve dobro našega oca uze Jakov; i od onoga što bi moralo pripasti našem ocu namaknuo je sve ono bogatstvo.”
2 And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold it was not towards him as before.
A opazi Jakov i na Labanovu licu da se on ne drži prema njemu kao prije.
3 And the Lord said to Jacob, Return to the land of your father, and to your family, and I will be with you.
Tada Jahve reče Jakovu: “Vrati se u zemlju svojih otaca, u svoj zavičaj, i ja ću biti s tobom!”
4 And Jacob sent and called Lea and Rachel to the plain where the flocks were.
Jakov onda pozove Rahelu i Leu u polje, k svome stadu,
5 And he said to them, I see the face of your father, that it is not towards me as before, but the God of my father was with me.
pa im reče: “Ja vidim na licu vašega oca da se on ne drži prema meni kao prije; ali Bog oca moga sa mnom je bio.
6 And you too know that with all my might I have served your father.
I same znate da sam vašega oca služio koliko sam god mogao;
7 But your father deceived me, and changed my wages for the ten lambs, yet God gave him not [power] to hurt me.
pa ipak je vaš otac mene varao, deset mi je puta plaću mijenjao. Ali Bog nije dopuštao da mi nanese štetu.
8 If he should say thus, The speckled shall be your reward, then all the cattle would bear speckled; and if he should say, The white shall be your reward, then would all the cattle bear white.
Ako bi on rekao: 'Svaka šarena neka bude tebi za naplatu', onda bi cijelo stado mladilo šarene; ako bi opet rekao: 'Prugasti neka budu tebi za plaću', onda bi cijelo stado mladilo prugaste.
9 So God has taken away all the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
Tako je Bog uzimao blago od vašeg oca pa ga meni davao.
10 And it came to pass when the cattle conceived and were with young, that I saw with mine eyes in sleep, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-coloured spots.
Jednom, kad se stado oplođivalo, nenadano vidjeh u snu da su jarci u stadu, dok su se parili, bili prugasti, mjestimično bijeli i šareni.
11 And the angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob; and I said, What is it?
Još u snu anđeo Božji mene zovne: 'Jakove!' 'Evo me!' rekoh.
12 And he said, Look up with your eyes, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-coloured spots; for I have seen all things that Laban does to you.
A on nastavi: 'Primijeti dobro da su jarci u stadu što se pare prugasti, mjestimično bijeli i šareni. Ja sam, naime, vidio sve što ti je Laban činio.
13 I am God that appeared to you in the place of God where you anointed a pillar to me, and vowed to me there a vow; now then arise and depart out of this land, depart into the land of your nativity, and I will be with you.
Ja sam Bog koji ti se ukazao u Betelu, gdje si uljem pomazao stup i gdje si mi učinio zavjet. Sad ustaj i idi iz ove zemlje; vrati se u svoj zavičaj!'”
14 And Rachel and Lea answered and said to him, Have we yet a part or inheritance in the house of our father?
Nato mu Rahela i Lea odgovore: “Zar još imamo baštinskog dijela u svome očinskom domu?
15 Are we not considered strangers by him? for he has sold us, and quite devoured our money.
Zar nas otac nije smatrao tuđinkama? TÓa on je nas prodao, a onda je pojeo novac što ga je za nas dobio!
16 All the wealth and the glory which God has taken from our father, it shall be our's and our children's; now then do whatever God has said to you.
Sve bogatstvo što je Bog oduzeo našem ocu zbilja je naše i djece naše. Zato izvrši sve što ti je Bog rekao!”
17 And Jacob arose and took his wives and his children up on the camels;
Nato Jakov naprti na deve svoju djecu i svoje žene;
18 and he took away all his possessions and all his store, which he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and all that belonged to him, to depart to Isaac his father in the land of Chanaan.
pred sobom potjera sve svoje blago, sva svoja dobra što ih je stekao, stoku što ju je namaknuo u Padan Aramu: krenu u zemlju kanaansku, k svome ocu Izaku.
19 And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole her father's images.
Laban bijaše otišao da striže svoje ovce, pa Rahela prisvoji kućne kumire koji su pripadali njezinu ocu.
20 And Jacob hid [the matter from] Laban the Syrian, so as not to tell him that he ran away.
Jakov zavara Aramejca Labana tako da nije ni slutio da će bježati.
21 And he departed himself and all that belonged to him, and passed over the river, and went into the mountain Galaad.
I pobjegne sa svim što je bilo njegovo. Ubrzo prijeđe Eufrat i upravi put prema brdu Gileadu.
22 But it was told Laban the Syrian on the third day, that Jacob was fled.
Trećeg dana obavijeste Labana da je Jakov pobjegao.
23 And having taken his brethren with him, he pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on Mount Galaad.
On povede sa sobom svoje rođake te je za Jakovom išao u potjeru sedam dana hoda; stiže ga na brdu Gileadu.
24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in sleep by night, and said to him, Take heed to yourself that you speak not at any time to Jacob evil things.
Ali se Bog ukaza Aramejcu Labanu, noću u snu, te mu reče. “Pazi da protiv Jakova ne poduzimlješ ništa, ni dobro ni zlo!”
25 And Laban overtook Jacob; and Jacob pitched his tent in the mountain; and Laban stationed his brothers in the mount Galaad.
Uto Laban stigne Jakova. Jakov bijaše postavio svoj šator na Glavici, a Laban se utabori na brdu Gileadu.
26 And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done? therefore did you run away secretly, and pillage me, and lead away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?
Onda Laban reče Jakovu: “Što si to htio zavaravajući me i odvodeći mi kćeri kao zarobljenice na maču?
27 Whereas if you had told me, I would have sent you away with mirth, and with songs, and timbrels, and harp.
Zašto si potajno pobjegao, u bludnju me zaveo i nisi me obavijestio? Otpratio bih te s veseljem i pjesmom, uz bubnje i lire.
28 And I was not counted worthy to embrace my children and my daughters; now then you have wrought foolishly.
Nisi mi dopustio ni da izljubim svoje kćeri i svoju unučad! Zbilja si ludo postupio.
29 And now my hand has power to hurt you; but the God of your father spoke to me yesterday, saying, Take heed to yourself that you speak not evil words to Jacob.
U mojoj je ruci da s tobom loše postupim. Ali Bog tvoga oca noćas mi reče: 'Pazi da protiv Jakova ne poduzmeš ništa, ni dobro ni zlo!'
30 Now then go on your way, for you have earnestly desired to depart to the house of your father; therefore have you stolen my gods?
Sada dobro, otišao si jer si čeznuo za svojim očinskim domom; ali zašto si mi kumire pokrao?”
31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid; for I said, Lest at any time you should take away your daughters from me, and all my possessions.
Jakov odgovori Labanu: “Strepio sam od pomisli da bi mi mogao silom oteti svoje kćeri.
32 And Jacob said, With whoever you shall find your gods, he shall not live in the presence of our brethren; take notice of what I have of your property, and take it; and he observed nothing with him, but Jacob knew not that his wife Rachel had stolen them.
A kumire svoje u koga nađeš, onaj neka pogine! Ovdje pred našom braćom kaži što je tvoga pri meni i nosi!” Jakov nije znao da ih je Rahela prisvojila.
33 And Laban went in and searched in the house of Lea, and found [them] not; and he went out of the house of Lea, and searched in the house of Jacob, and in the house of the two maidservants, and found them not; and he went also into the house of Rachel.
Tako Laban uđe u šator Jakovljev, pa u šator Lein, onda u šator dviju sluškinja, ali ništa ne nađe. Izišavši iz Leina šatora, uđe u šator Rahelin.
34 And Rachel took the idols, and cast them amongst the camel's packs, and sat upon them.
A Rahela bijaše uzela kumire i stavila ih u sjedalo svoje deve, a onda na njih sjela. Laban je premetao po svemu šatoru, ali ih ne nađe.
35 And she said to her father, Be not indignant, Sir; I can’t rise up before you, for it is with me according to the manner of women. Laban searched in all the house, and found not the images.
Ona je, naime, rekla svome ocu: “Neka se moj gospodar ne ljuti što ne mogu pred njim ustati jer imam ono što je red kod žena.” I tako je pretraživao, ali kumira nije našao.
36 And Jacob was angry, and strove with Laban; and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my injustice, and what my sin, that you have pursued after me,
Sad se Jakov ražesti i zađe u prepirku s Labanom. Otvoreno Jakov reče Labanu: “Kakvo je moje zlodjelo, koja li je moja krivnja da me progoniš?
37 and that you have searched all the furniture of my house? what have you found of all the furniture of your house? set it here between your relations and my relations, and let them decide between us two.
Eto si premetnuo sve moje stvari, pa kakav si predmet našao od svega svog kućanstva? Položi ga tu pred moj i svoj rod pa neka oni budu suci među nama dvojicom.
38 These twenty years have I been with you; your sheep, and your she-goats have not failed in bearing; I devoured not the rams of your cattle.
Za ovih dvadeset godina što sam ih s tobom proveo ni tvoje ovce ni tvoje koze nisu se jalovile niti sam ja jeo ovnova iz tvoga stada.
39 That which was taken of beasts I brought not to you; I made good of myself the thefts of the day, and the thefts of the night.
Ono što bi zvijer razdrla, tebi nisam donosio, nego bih od svoga gubitak nadoknadio. Ti si to od mene tražio, bilo da je nestalo danju ili da je nestalo noću.
40 I was parched with heat by day, and [chilled] with frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.
Često sam danju skapavao od žeđi, a obnoć od studeni. San je bježao od mojih očiju.
41 These twenty years have I been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years amongst your sheep, and you did falsely rate my wages for ten lambs.
Od ovih dvadeset godina što sam ih proveo u tvojoj kući četrnaest sam ti godina služio za tvoje dvije kćeri, a šest godina za tvoju stoku, jer si mi mijenjao zaradu deset puta.
42 Unless I had the God of my father Abraam, and the fear of Isaac, now you would have sent me away empty; God saw my humiliation, and the labour of my hands, and rebuked you yesterday.
Da sa mnom nije bio Bog moga oca, Bog Abrahamov, Strah Izakov, otpravio bi me praznih ruku. Ali je Bog gledao moju nevolju i trud mojih ruku te je sinoć dosudio.”
43 And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the cattle are my cattle, and all things which you see are mine, and [the property] of my daughters; what shall I do to them today, or their children which they bore?
Nato Laban odgovori Jakovu: “Kćeri su moje kćeri; djeca su moja djeca; stada su moja stada, sve što gledaš moje je. Ali što danas mogu učiniti ovim svojim kćerima ili djeci koju su rodile?
44 Now then come, let me make a covenant, both I and you, and it shall be for a witness between me and you; and he said to him, Behold, there is no one with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.
Pa dobro, hajde da ti i ja napravimo ugovor, tako da bude svjedok između mene i tebe.”
45 And Jacob having taken a stone, set it up for a pillar.
Nato Jakov uzme jedan kamen pa ga uspravi kao stup,
46 And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones; and they gathered stones and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap; and Laban said to him, This heap witnesses between me and you today.
a onda reče svojim ljudima: “Skupite kamenja!” Tako oni nakupe kamenja i nabace gomilu. Tu su na gomili blagovali.
47 And Laban called it, the Heap of Testimony; and Jacob called it, the Witness Heap.
Laban je nazva “Jegar sahaduta”, a Jakov je nazva “Gal-ed”.
48 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and the pillar, which I have set between me and you; this heap witnesses, and this pillar witnesses; therefore its name was called, the Heap witnesses.
Onda Laban izjavi: “Neka ova gomila danas bude svjedok između mene i tebe!” Stoga je nazvana Gal-ed,
49 And the vision of which he said—Let God look to it between me and you, because we are about to depart from each other, —
ali i Mispa, jer je rekao. “Neka Jahve bude na vidu i tebi i meni kad jedan drugog ne budemo gledali.
50 If you shall humble my daughters, if you should take wives in addition to my daughters, see, there is no one with us looking on. God [is] witness between me and you.
Ako budeš loše postupao prema mojim kćerima, ili ako uzmeš druge žene uz moje kćeri, sve da nitko drugi ne bude s nama, znaj da će Bog biti svjedok između mene i tebe.”
51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold, this heap, and this pillar are a witness.
Potom Laban reče Jakovu: “Ovdje je, evo, gomila; ovdje je stup koji sam uspravio između sebe i tebe:
52 For if I should not cross over to you, neither should you cross over to me, for mischief beyond this heap and this pillar.
ova gomila i ovaj stup neka budu jamac da ja u zloj namjeri neću ići na te iza ove gomile i da ti nećeš ići na me iza ove gomile i ovog stupa.
53 The God of Abraam and the God of Nachor judge between us; and Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
Neka Bog Abrahamov i Bog Nahorov budu naši suci!” Jakov se zakune Bogom - Strahom svoga oca Izaka.
54 And he offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren, and they ate and drank, and slept in the mountain.
Poslije toga Jakov prinese žrtvu na Glavici i pozva svoje ljude da blaguju. Poslije objeda proveli su noć na Glavici.
55 And Laban rose up in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban having turned back, departed to his place.
Ranim se jutrom Laban digne, izljubi svoje sinove i svoje kćeri te ih blagoslovi; onda se zaputi natrag u svoje mjesto.
