Genesis 31

1 But afterwards, he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, “Jacob has taken all that was our father’s, and being enlarged by his ability, he has become famous.”

A Jakov èu gdje sinovi Lavanovi govore: Jakov uze sve što bješe našega oca, i od onoga što bješe našega oca steèe sve ovo blago.

2 Likewise, he observed that Laban’s face was not the same toward him as it was yesterday and the day before.

I vidje Jakov gdje lice Lavanovo nije prema njemu kao prije.

3 Most importantly, the Lord was saying to him, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your generation, and I will be with you.”

I Gospod reèe Jakovu: vrati se u zemlju otaca svojih i u rod svoj, i ja æu biti s tobom.

4 He sent and called for Rachel and Leah, in the field where he pastured the flocks,

I poslav Jakov dozva Rahilju i Liju u polje k stadu svojemu.

5 and he said to them: “I see that your father’s face is not the same toward me as it was yesterday and the day before. But the God of my father has been with me.

I reèe im: vidim gdje lice oca vašega nije prema meni kao prije; ali je Bog oca mojega bio sa mnom.

6 And you know that I have served your father with all my strength.

I vi znate da sam služio ocu vašemu kako sam god mogao;

7 Even so, your father has circumvented me, and he has changed my wages ten times. And yet God has not permitted him to harm me.

A otac me je vaš varao i mijenjao mi platu deset puta; ali mu Bog ne dade da me ošteti;

8 Whenever he said, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ all the sheep gave birth to speckled newborns. Yet truly, when he said the contrary, ‘You will take whatever is white for your wages,’ all the flocks gave birth to white ones.

Kad on reèe: što bude šareno neka ti je plata, onda se mladilo sve šareno; a kad reèe: s biljegom što bude neka ti je plata, onda se mladilo sve s biljegom.

9 And it is God who has taken your father’s substance and given it to me.

Tako Bog uze stoku ocu vašemu i dade je meni;

10 For after the time had arrived for the ewes to conceive, I lifted up my eyes, and I saw in my sleep that the males climbing on the females were of variegated, and spotted, and diverse colors.

Jer kad se upaljivaše stoka, podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh u snu, a to ovnovi i jarci što skaèu na ovce i koze bijahu šareni, s biljegama prutastim i kolastim.

11 And the Angel of God said to me in my sleep, ‘Jacob.’ And I responded, ‘Here I am.’

A anðeo Gospodnji reèe mi u snu: Jakove! A ja odgovorih: evo me.

12 And he said: ‘Lift up your eyes, and see that all the males climbing on the females are variegated, spotted, and also speckled. For I have seen all that Laban has done to you.

A on reèe: podigni sad oèi svoje i gledaj, ovnovi i jarci što skaèu na ovce i koze, šareni su, s biljegama prutastim i kolastim; jer vidjeh sve što ti èini Lavan.

13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the stone and made a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and depart from this land, returning to the land of your nativity.’”

Ja sam Bog od Vetilja, gdje si prelio kamen i uèinio mi zavjet; ustani sada i idi iz ove zemlje, i vrati se na postojbinu svoju.

14 And Rachel and Leah responded: “Have we anything left behind among the resources and inheritance of our father’s house?

Tada odgovori Rahilja i Lija, i rekoše mu: eda li još imamo kakav dio i našljedstvo u domu oca svojega?

15 Has he not considered us as foreigners, and sold us, and consumed our price?

Nije li nas držao kao tuðinke kad nas je prodao? pa je još i naše novce jednako jeo.

16 But God has taken our father’s riches and handed these to us and to our sons. Therefore, do all that God has instructed you.”

Jer sve ovo blago što uze Gospod ocu našemu, naše je i naše djece. Zato èini sve što ti je Gospod kazao.

17 And so Jacob rose up, and having placed the children and his wives upon camels, he went forth.

I podiže se Jakov, i metnu djecu svoju i žene svoje na kamile;

18 And he took all his substance and flocks, and whatever he had acquired in Mesopotamia, and he journeyed to his father Isaac, in the land of Canaan.

I odvede svu stoku svoju i sve blago što bješe stekao, stoku koju bješe stekao u Padan-Aramu, i poðe k Isaku ocu svojemu u zemlju Hanansku.

19 At that time, Laban had gone to shear the sheep, and so Rachel stole her father’s idols.

A Lavan bješe otišao da striže ovce svoje; i Rahilja ukrade idole ocu svojemu.

20 And Jacob was not willing to confess to his father-in-law that he was fleeing.

I Jakov otide kradom od Lavana Sirina ne javivši mu da hoæe da ide.

21 And when he had gone away with all such things that were justly his, and, having crossed the river, was continuing on toward Mount Gilead,

I pobježe sa svijem blagom svojim, i podiže se te prijeðe preko vode, i uputi se ka gori Galadu.

22 it was reported to Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.

A treæi dan javiše Lavanu da je pobjegao Jakov.

23 And taking his brothers with him, he pursued him for seven days. And he overtook him at Mount Gilead.

I uze sa sobom braæu svoju, i poðe za njim u potjeru, i za sedam dana stiže ga na gori Galadu.

24 And he saw in a dream, God saying to him, “Beware that you not speak anything harsh against Jacob.”

Ali Bog doðe Lavanu Sirinu noæu u snu, i reèe mu: èuvaj se da ne govoriš s Jakovom ni lijepo ni ružno.

25 And now Jacob had pitched his tent at the mountain. And when he, with his brothers, had overtaken him, he set his tent at the same place at Mount Gilead.

I stiže Lavan Jakova; a Jakov bješe razapeo šator svoj na gori, pa i Lavan takoðer razape svoj s braæom svojom na gori Galadu.

26 And he said to Jacob: “Why have you acted this way, departing from me in secret, with my daughters like captives of the sword?

I Lavan reèe Jakovu: šta uèini te kradom pobježe od mene i odvede kæeri moje kao na maè otete?

27 Why would you want to flee without my knowledge and without telling me, though I might have led you forward with gladness, and songs, and timbrels, and lyres?

Zašto tajno pobježe i kradom otide od mene? niti mi reèe da te ispratim s veseljem i s pjesmama, s bubnjima i guslama?

28 You have not permitted me to kiss my sons and daughters. You have acted foolishly. And now, indeed,

Niti mi dade da izljubim sinove svoje i kæeri svoje? ludo si radio.

29 my hand has power to repay you with harm. But the God of your father said to me yesterday, ‘Beware that you not speak anything stern against Jacob.’

Mogao bih vam dosaditi; ali Bog oca vašega noæas mi reèe govoreæi: èuvaj se da ne govoriš s Jakovom ni lijepo ni ružno.

30 It may be that you desired to go to your own, and that you longed for the house of your father. But why have you stolen my gods?”

Idi dakle kad si se tako uželio kuæe oca svojega; ali zašto ukrade bogove moje?

31 Jacob answered: “I set out, unknown to you, because I feared that you might take away your daughters by violence.

A Jakov odgovori i reèe: bojah se i mišljah: hoæeš silom oteti kæeri svoje od mene.

32 But, since you accuse me of theft, with whomever you will find your gods, let him be slain in the sight of our brothers. Search; anything of yours that you will find with me, take it away.” Now when he said this, he did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.

A bogove svoje u koga naðeš, onaj neka ne živi više; pred našom braæom traži što je tvoje u mene, pa uzmi. Jer Jakov nije znao da ih je ukrala Rahilja.

33 And so Laban, entering the tent of Jacob, and of Leah, and of both the handmaids, did not find them. And when he had entered the tent of Rachel,

I uðe Lavan u šator Jakovljev i u šator Lijin i u šator dviju robinja, i ne naðe ih; i izašav iz šatora Lijina uðe u šator Rahiljin.

34 she quickly hid the idols under the camel’s bedding, and she sat upon them. And when he had searched the entire tent and found nothing,

A Rahilja uze idole i sakri ih pod samar kamile svoje i sjede ozgo; i Lavan pipaše po cijelom šatoru, i ne naðe.

35 she said: “Do not be angry, my lord, that I am unable to rise up in your sight, because it has now happened to me according to the custom of women.” So his careful search was thwarted.

A ona reèe ocu svojemu: nemoj se srditi, gospodaru, što ti ne mogu ustati, jer mi je što u žena biva. Traživ dakle ne naðe idola svojih.

36 And Jacob, being inflated, said with contention: “For which fault of mine, or for what sin of mine, have you become so enraged against me

I Jakov se rasrdi, i stade koriti Lavana, i govoreæi reèe mu: šta sam uèinio, šta sam skrivio, te si me tako žestoko tjerao?

37 and searched all the items of my house? What have you found from all the substance of your house? Place it here before my brothers, and your brothers, and let them judge between me and you.

Pipao si sav prtljag moj, pa šta si našao iz svoje kuæe? daj ovamo pred moju i svoju braæu, neka rasude izmeðu nas dvojice.

38 For what reason have I been with you for twenty years? Your ewes and she-goats were not barren; the rams of your flocks I did not consume.

Evo dvadeset godina bijah kod tebe: ovce tvoje i koze tvoje ne jaloviše se, a ovnova iz stada tvojega ne jedoh.

39 Neither did I reveal to you what was seized by the wild beast. I replaced all that was damaged. Whatever was lost by theft, you collected it from me.

Što bi zvijerje zaklalo nijesam ti donosio, sam sam podmirivao; od mene si iskao što bi mi bilo ukradeno danju ili noæu.

40 Day and night, I was burned by heat and by frost, and sleep fled from my eyes.

Danju me ubijaše vruæina a noæu mraz; i san mi ne padaše na oèi.

41 And in this way, for twenty years, I have served you in your house: fourteen for your daughters, and six for your flocks. You have also changed my wages ten times.

Tako mi je bilo dvadeset godina u tvojoj kuæi; služio sam ti èetrnaest godina za dvije kæeri tvoje i šest godina za stoku tvoju, i platu si mi mijenjao deset puta.

42 If the God of my father Abraham and the fear of Isaac had not been close to me, perhaps by now you would have sent me away naked. But God looked kindly on my affliction and the labor of my hands, and he rebuked you yesterday.”

Da nije Bog oca mojega, Bog Avramov, i strah Isakov bio sa mnom, bi me zacijelo otpustio prazna. Ali je Bog vidio nevolju moju i trud ruku mojih, pa te ukori noæas.

43 Laban answered him: “My daughters and sons, and your flocks, and all that you discern are mine. What can I do to my sons and grandchildren?

A Lavan odgovori Jakovu i reèe: ove su kæeri moje kæeri, i ovi su sinovi moji sinovi, i ova stoka moja stoka, i što god vidiš sve je moje; pa šta bih uèinio danas kæerima svojim ili sinovima njihovijem koje rodiše?

44 Come, therefore, let us enter into a pact, so that it may be a testimony between me and you.”

Nego hajde da uhvatimo vjeru, ja i ti, da bude svjedoèanstvo izmeðu mene i tebe.

45 And so Jacob took a stone, and he set it up as a memorial.

I Jakov uze kamen i utvrdi ga za spomen.

46 And he said to his brothers, “Bring stones.” And they, gathering together stones, made a tomb, and they ate upon it.

I reèe Jakov braæi svojoj: nakupite kamenja. I nakupiše kamenja i složiše na gomilu, i jedoše na gomili.

47 And Laban called it, ‘Tomb of Witness,’ and Jacob, ‘Pile of Testimony;’ each of them according to the fitness of his own language.

I Lavan ga nazva Jegar-Sahadut, a Jakov ga nazva Galed.

48 And Laban said: “This tomb will be a witness between me and you this day.” (And for this reason, its name has been called Gilead, that is, ‘Tomb of Witness.’)

I reèe Lavan: ova gomila neka bude svjedok izmeðu mene i tebe danas. Zato se prozva Galed.

49 “May the Lord consider and judge between us, when we will have withdrawn from one another.

A prozva se i Mispa, jer reèe Lavan: neka Gospod gleda izmeðu mene i tebe, kad ne uzmožemo vidjeti jedan drugoga.

50 If you afflict my daughters, and if you bring in other wives over them, no one is a witness of our words except God, who understands beforehand.”

Ako ucvijeliš kæeri moje i ako uzmeš žene preko mojih kæeri, neæe èovjek biti izmeðu nas, nego gle Bog svjedok izmeðu mene i tebe.

51 And again he said to Jacob. “Lo, this tomb and the stone that I have set up between me and you,

I još reèe Lavan Jakovu: gledaj ovu gomilu i gledaj ovaj spomenik, koji podigoh izmeðu sebe i tebe.

52 will be a witness. This tomb,” I say, “and the stone, they are for testimony, in case either I cross beyond it going toward you, or you cross beyond it thinking to harm me.

Svjedok je ova gomila i svjedok je ovaj spomenik: da ni ja neæu prijeæi preko ove gomile k tebi ni ti k meni da neæeš prijeæi preko ove gomile i spomenika ovoga na zlo.

53 May the God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” Therefore, Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.

Bog Avramov i bogovi Nahorovi, bogovi oca njihova, neka sude meðu nama. A Jakov se zakle strahom oca svojega Isaka.

54 And after he had immolated sacrifices on the mountain, he called his brothers to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there.

I Jakov prinese žrtvu na gori, i sazva braæu svoju na veèeru; i jedoše pa noæiše na gori.

55 In truth, Laban rose up in the night, and he kissed his sons and daughters, and he blessed them. And he returned to his place.

A ujutru rano usta Lavan, i izljubi svoju unuèad i kæeri svoje, i blagoslovi ih, pa otide i vrati se u svoje mjesto.
