Genesis 31
1 But after that he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying: Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s, and being enriched by his substance is become great:
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 perceiving also that Laban’s countenance was not towards him as yesterday and the other day,
A opazi Jakov i na Labanovu licu da se on ne drži prema njemu kao prije.
3 Especially the Lord saying to him: 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 He sent, and called Rachel and Lia into the field, where he fed the flocks,
Jakov onda pozove Rahelu i Leu u polje, k svome stadu,
5 And said to them: I see your father’s countenance is not towards me as yesterday and the other day: but the God of my father hath 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 I have served your father to the uttermost of my power.
I same znate da sam vašega oca služio koliko sam god mogao;
7 Yea, your father also hath overreached me, and hath changed my wages ten times: and yet God hath not suffered him 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 at any time he said: The speckled shall be thy wages: all the sheep brought forth speckled: but when he said on the contrary: Thou shalt take all the white ones for thy wages: all the flocks brought forth white ones.
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 hath taken your father’s substance, and given it to me.
Tako je Bog uzimao blago od vašeg oca pa ga meni davao.
10 For after that time came of the ewes conceiving, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in my sleep that the males which leaped upon the females were of divers colours, and spotted, and speckled.
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 my sleep: Jacob? And I answered: Here I am.
Još u snu anđeo Božji mene zovne: 'Jakove!' 'Evo me!' rekoh.
12 And he said: Lift up thy eyes, and see that all the males leaping upon the females, are of divers colours, spotted, and speckled. For I have seen all that Laban hath done 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 didst anoint the stone, and make a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and go out of this land, and return into thy native country.
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 Lia answered: Have we any thing left among the goods and inheritance of our father’s house?
Nato mu Rahela i Lea odgovore: “Zar još imamo baštinskog dijela u svome očinskom domu?
15 Hath he not counted us as strangers and sold us, and eaten up the price of us?
Zar nas otac nije smatrao tuđinkama? TÓa on je nas prodao, a onda je pojeo novac što ga je za nas dobio!
16 But God hath taken our father’s riches, and delivered them to us, and to our children: wherefore do all that God hath commanded thee.
Sve bogatstvo što je Bog oduzeo našem ocu zbilja je naše i djece naše. Zato izvrši sve što ti je Bog rekao!”
17 Then Jacob rose up, and having set his children and wives upon camels, went his way.
Nato Jakov naprti na deve svoju djecu i svoje žene;
18 And he took all his substance, and flocks, and whatsoever he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac his father to 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 At that time Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole away her father’s idols.
Laban bijaše otišao da striže svoje ovce, pa Rahela prisvoji kućne kumire koji su pripadali njezinu ocu.
20 And Jacob would not confess to his father in law that he was flying away.
Jakov zavara Aramejca Labana tako da nije ni slutio da će bježati.
21 And when he was gone, together with all that belonged to him, and having passed the river, was going on towards mount Galaad,
I pobjegne sa svim što je bilo njegovo. Ubrzo prijeđe Eufrat i upravi put prema brdu Gileadu.
22 It was told Laban on the third day that Jacob fled.
Trećeg dana obavijeste Labana da je Jakov pobjegao.
23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days; and overtook him in the mount of Galaad.
On povede sa sobom svoje rođake te je za Jakovom išao u potjeru sedam dana hoda; stiže ga na brdu Gileadu.
24 And he saw in a dream God saying to him: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.
Ali se Bog ukaza Aramejcu Labanu, noću u snu, te mu reče. “Pazi da protiv Jakova ne poduzimlješ ništa, ni dobro ni zlo!”
25 Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and when he with his brethren had overtaken him, he pitched his tent in the same mount of Galaad.
Uto Laban stigne Jakova. Jakov bijaše postavio svoj šator na Glavici, a Laban se utabori na brdu Gileadu.
26 And he said to Jacob: Why hast thou done thus, to carry away, without my knowledge, 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 Why wouldst thou run away privately and not acquaint me, that I might have brought thee on the way with joy, and with songs, and with timbrels, and with harps?
Zašto si potajno pobjegao, u bludnju me zaveo i nisi me obavijestio? Otpratio bih te s veseljem i pjesmom, uz bubnje i lire.
28 Thou hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and daughters: thou hast done foolishly: and now, indeed,
Nisi mi dopustio ni da izljubim svoje kćeri i svoju unučad! Zbilja si ludo postupio.
29 It is in my power to return thee evil: but the God of your father said to me yesterday: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against 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 Suppose thou didst desire to go to thy friends, and hadst a longing after thy father’s house: why hast thou stolen away my gods?
Sada dobro, otišao si jer si čeznuo za svojim očinskim domom; ali zašto si mi kumire pokrao?”
31 Jacob answered: That I departed unknown to thee, it was for fear lest thou wouldst take away thy daughters by force.
Jakov odgovori Labanu: “Strepio sam od pomisli da bi mi mogao silom oteti svoje kćeri.
32 But whereas thou chargest me with theft: with whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, let him be slain before our brethren. Search, and if thou find any of thy things with me, take them away. Now when he said this, he knew not that Rachel had stolen the idols.
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 So Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and of Lia, and of both the handmaids, and found them not. And when he was 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 She in haste hid the idols under the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them: and when he had searched all the tent, and 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 She said: Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, because it has now happened to me, according to the custom of women, So his careful search was in vain.
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 being angry, said in a chiding manner: For what fault of mine, and for what offence on my part hast thou so hotly pursued 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 searched all my household stuff? What hast thou found of all the substance of thy house? lay it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and let them judge between me and thee.
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 Have I therefore been with thee twenty years? thy ewes and goats were not barren, the rams of thy flocks I did not eat:
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 Neither did I show thee that which the beast had torn, I made good all the damage: whatsoever was lost by theft, thou didst exact it of me:
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 Day and night was I parched with heat, and with frost, and sleep departed from my eyes.
Često sam danju skapavao od žeđi, a obnoć od studeni. San je bježao od mojih očiju.
41 And in this manner have I served thee in thy house twenty years, fourteen for thy daughters, and six for thy flocks: thou hast changed also 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 Unless the God of my father Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had stood by me, peradventure now thou hadst sent me away naked: God beheld my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee 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 Laban answered him: The daughters are mine and the children, and thy flocks, and all things that thou seest are mine: what can I do to my children, and grandchildren?
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 Come therefore, let us enter into a league: that it may be for a testimony 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 title:
Nato Jakov uzme jedan kamen pa ga uspravi kao stup,
46 And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they gathering stones together, made a heap, and they ate upon it.
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 witness heap: and Jacob, The hillock of testimony: each of them according to the propriety of his language.
Laban je nazva “Jegar sahaduta”, a Jakov je nazva “Gal-ed”.
48 And Laban said: This heap shall be a witness between me and thee this day, and therefore the name thereof was called Galaad, that is, The witness heap.
Onda Laban izjavi: “Neka ova gomila danas bude svjedok između mene i tebe!” Stoga je nazvana Gal-ed,
49 The Lord behold and judge between us when we shall be gone one from the other.
ali i Mispa, jer je rekao. “Neka Jahve bude na vidu i tebi i meni kad jedan drugog ne budemo gledali.
50 If thou afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wives over them: none is witness of our speech but God, who is present and beholdeth.
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 he said again to Jacob: Behold, this heap, and the stone 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 Shall be a witness: this heap, I say, and the stone, be they for a testimony, if either I shall pass beyond it going towards thee, or thou shalt pass beyond it, thinking harm to me.
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 Nachor, 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 after he had offered sacrifices in the mountain, he called his brethren to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there:
Poslije toga Jakov prinese žrtvu na Glavici i pozva svoje ljude da blaguju. Poslije objeda proveli su noć na Glavici.
55 But Laban arose in the night, and kissed his sons, and daughters, and blessed them: 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.
