Genesis 31
1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and of what was our father's he has acquired 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 toward him as previously.
A opazi Jakov i na Labanovu licu da se on ne drži prema njemu kao prije.
3 And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
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 Rachel and Leah to the fields to his flock,
Jakov onda pozove Rahelu i Leu u polje, k svome stadu,
5 and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as previously; but the God of my father has been 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 know that with all my power I have served your father.
I same znate da sam vašega oca služio koliko sam god mogao;
7 And your father has mocked me, and has changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not 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 said thus; The speckled shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore speckled; and if he said thus: The ringstraked shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore ringstraked.
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 And God has taken away 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 at the time of the ardour of the flocks, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams that leaped upon the flocks were ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
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, Here am I.
Još u snu anđeo Božji mene zovne: 'Jakove!' 'Evo me!' rekoh.
12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see: all the rams that leap upon the flock are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban does to thee.
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 the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vow to me. Now arise, depart out of this land, and return to the land of thy kindred.
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 Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
Nato mu Rahela i Lea odgovore: “Zar još imamo baštinskog dijela u svome očinskom domu?
15 Are we not reckoned of him strangers? for he has sold us, and has even constantly 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 For all the wealth that God has taken from our father is ours and our children's; and now whatever God has said to thee do.
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 rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels,
Nato Jakov naprti na deve svoju djecu i svoje žene;
18 and carried away all his cattle, and all his property that he had acquired — the cattle of his possessions that he had acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to Isaac his father, into the land of Canaan.
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 had gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that [belonged] to her father.
Laban bijaše otišao da striže svoje ovce, pa Rahela prisvoji kućne kumire koji su pripadali njezinu ocu.
20 And Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled.
Jakov zavara Aramejca Labana tako da nije ni slutio da će bježati.
21 And he fled with all that he had; and he rose up and passed over the river, and set his face [toward] mount Gilead.
I pobjegne sa svim što je bilo njegovo. Ubrzo prijeđe Eufrat i upravi put prema brdu Gileadu.
22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
Trećeg dana obavijeste Labana da je Jakov pobjegao.
23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on mount Gilead.
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 a dream by night, and said to him, Take care thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
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 came up with Jacob; and Jacob had pitched his tent on the mountain; Laban also with his brethren pitched on mount Gilead.
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 hast thou done, that thou hast deceived me, and hast carried away my daughters as captives of war?
Onda Laban reče Jakovu: “Što si to htio zavaravajući me i odvodeći mi kćeri kao zarobljenice na maču?
27 Why didst thou flee away covertly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have conducted thee with mirth and with songs, with tambour and with 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 hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now thou hast acted foolishly.
Nisi mi dopustio ni da izljubim svoje kćeri i svoju unučad! Zbilja si ludo postupio.
29 It would be in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take care that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
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 And now that thou must needs be gone, because thou greatly longedst after thy father's house, why hast thou 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, I was afraid; for I said, Lest thou shouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
Jakov odgovori Labanu: “Strepio sam od pomisli da bi mi mogao silom oteti svoje kćeri.
32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live. Before our brethren discern what is thine with me, and take [it] to thee. But Jacob did not know that 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 into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two handmaids' tents, and found nothing; and he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
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 Now Rachel had taken the teraphim and put them under the camel's saddle; and she sat upon them. And Laban explored all the tent, but found nothing.
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, Let it not be an occasion of anger in the eyes of my lord that I cannot rise up before thee, for it is with me after the manner of women. And he searched carefully, but did not find the teraphim.
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 he disputed with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my fault, what my sin, that thou hast so hotly 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 Whereas thou hast explored all my baggage, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set [it] here before my brethren and thy brethren, and let them decide between us both.
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 thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten.
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 What was torn I have not brought to thee; I had to bear the loss of it: of my hand hast thou required it, [whether] stolen by day or stolen by 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 Thus it was with me: in the day the heat consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.
Često sam danju skapavao od žeđi, a obnoć od studeni. San je bježao od mojih očiju.
41 I have been these twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
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 Had not the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, been with me, it is certain thou wouldest have sent me away now empty. God has looked upon my affliction and the labour of my hands, and has judged last night.
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 are my sons, and the flock is my flock, and all that thou seest is mine; but as for my daughters, what can I do this day to them, or to their sons whom they have brought forth?
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 And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be a witness between me and thee.
Pa dobro, hajde da ti i ja napravimo ugovor, tako da bude svjedok između mene i tebe.”
45 And Jacob took a stone, and 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 took stones, and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap.
a onda reče svojim ljudima: “Skupite kamenja!” Tako oni nakupe kamenja i nabace gomilu. Tu su na gomili blagovali.
47 And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
Laban je nazva “Jegar sahaduta”, a Jakov je nazva “Gal-ed”.
48 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed,
Onda Laban izjavi: “Neka ova gomila danas bude svjedok između mene i tebe!” Stoga je nazvana Gal-ed,
49 — and Mizpah; for he said, Let Jehovah watch between me and thee, when we shall be hidden one from another:
ali i Mispa, jer je rekao. “Neka Jahve bude na vidu i tebi i meni kad jedan drugog ne budemo gledali.
50 if thou shouldest afflict my daughters, or if thou shouldest take wives besides my daughters, — no man is with us; see, God is witness between me and thee!
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 behold the pillar which I have set up between me and thee:
Potom Laban reče Jakovu: “Ovdje je, evo, gomila; ovdje je stup koji sam uspravio između sebe i tebe:
52 [let] this heap be witness, and the pillar a witness, that neither I pass this heap [to go] to thee, nor thou pass this heap and this pillar [to come] to me, for harm.
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 Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, 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 Jacob offered a sacrifice upon the mountain, and invited his brethren to eat bread: and they ate bread, and lodged on 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 early in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban went and returned to his place.
Ranim se jutrom Laban digne, izljubi svoje sinove i svoje kćeri te ih blagoslovi; onda se zaputi natrag u svoje mjesto.
