< Genesis 28 >
1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Тада Исак дозва Јакова, и благослови га, и заповеди му и рече: Немој да се ожениш којом између кћери хананејских.
2 Arise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father, and take a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
Устани, иди у Падан-Арам у дом Ватуила оца матере своје, и оданде се ожени између кћери Лавана ујака свог.
3 And the Almighty God bless thee, and make thee fruitful and multiply thee, that thou mayest become a company of peoples.
А Бог Свемогући да те благослови, и да ти да велику породицу и умножи те, да од тебе постане мноштво народа,
4 And may he give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee, in order that thou mayest possess the land of thy sojourning, which God gave to Abraham!
И да ти да благослов Аврамов, теби и семену твом с тобом, да наследиш земљу у којој си дошљак, коју Бог даде Авраму.
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob; and he went to Padan-Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
Тако оправи Исак Јакова, и он пође у Падан-Арам к Лавану сину Ватуила Сирина, брату Ревеке матере Јаковљеве и Исавове.
6 And Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-Aram, to take a wife thence, blessing him, and giving him a charge saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
А Исав виде где Исак благослови Јакова и оправи га у Падан-Арам да се оданде ожени, и где благосиљајући га заповеди му и рече: Немој да се ожениш којом између кћери хананејских,
7 and [that] Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-Aram.
И где Јаков послуша оца свог и матер своју, и отиде у Падан-Арам;
8 And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the sight of Isaac his father.
И виде Исав да кћери хананејске нису по вољи Исаку оцу његовом.
9 And Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Па отиде Исав к Исмаилу, и узе за жену преко жена својих Маелету, кћер Исмаила сина Аврамовог, сестру Навеотову.
10 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went towards Haran.
А Јаков отиде од Вирсавеје идући у Харан.
11 And he lighted on a certain place, and lodged there, because the sun had set. And he took [one] of the stones of the place, and made [it] his pillow, and lay down in that place.
И дође на једно место, и онде заноћи, јер сунце беше зашло; и узе камен на оном месту, и метну га себи под главу, и заспа на оном месту.
12 And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to the heavens. And behold, angels of God ascended and descended upon it.
И усни, а то лестве стајаху на земљи а врхом тицаху у небо, и гле, анђели Божји по њима се пењаху и силажаху;
13 And behold, Jehovah stood above it. And he said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham, thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.
И гле, на врху стајаше Господ, и рече: Ја сам Господ Бог Аврама оца твог и Бог Исаков; ту земљу на којој спаваш теби ћу дати и семену твом;
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
И семена ће твог бити као праха на земљи, те ћеш се раширити на запад и на исток и на север и на југ, и сви народи на земљи благословиће се у теби и у семену твом.
15 And behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] to which thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee until I have done what I have spoken to thee of.
И ево, ја сам с тобом, и чуваћу те куда год пођеш, и довешћу те натраг у ову земљу, јер те нећу оставити докле год не учиним шта ти рекох.
16 And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew [it] not.
А кад се Јаков пробуди од сна, рече: Зацело је Господ на овом месту; а ја не знах.
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
И уплаши се, и рече: Како је страшно место ово! Овде је доиста кућа Божја, и ово су врата небеска.
18 And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had made his pillow, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
И уста Јаков ујутру рано, и узе камен што беше метнуо себи под главу, и утврди га за спомен и прели га уљем.
19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el; but the name of that city was Luz at the first.
И прозва оно место Ветиљ, а пре беше име оном граду Луз.
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and keep me on this road that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and a garment to put on,
И учини Јаков завет, говорећи: Ако Бог буде са мном и сачува ме на путу којим идем и да ми хлеба да једем и одела да се облачим,
21 and I come again to my father's house in peace — then shall Jehovah be my God.
И ако се вратим на миру у дом оца свог, Господ ће ми бити Бог;
22 And this stone, which I have set up [for] a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that thou wilt give me I will without fail give the tenth to thee.
А камен овај који утврдих за спомен биће дом Божји; и шта ми год даш, од свега ћу десето дати Теби.
