Genesis 31

1 Jacob found out that Laban's sons were saying, “Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father. All the wealth he has actually came from our father.”

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 Jacob also noticed that Laban was treating him differently to the way he had before.

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

3 The Lord told Jacob, “Go back to the country of your forefathers, to your family home. 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 Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah, telling them to come and meet him out in the fields where he was with his flock.

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

5 “I've noticed that your father is treating me differently to the way he did before,” he told them. “But the God of my father will be with me.

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

6 You both know very well how hard I worked for your father.

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

7 But he's been cheating me—he's reduced my wages ten times! However, God hasn't let him hurt me.

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

8 If he said, ‘You can have the speckled ones as your wages,’ then the whole flock had speckled young. If he said, ‘You can have the streaked ones as your wages,’ then the whole flock had streaked young.

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 This is how God took your father's livestock and gave them to me.

Tako Bog uze stoku ocu vašemu i dade je meni;

10 During the time the flock was breeding I had a dream where I saw that the male goats mating with the flock were all streaked, speckled, or spotted.

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 Then in the dream the angel of the Lord spoke to me and said, ‘Jacob!’ I replied, ‘I'm here.’

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

12 He told me, ‘Take a look and you'll see that all the male goats mating with the flock are streaked, speckled or spotted, for I've been watching everything that Laban has been doing 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 poured olive oil on the stone pillar and made a solemn promise to me. Now get ready to leave this land and go back to your homeland.’”

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 “There's nothing for us to inherit from our father's estate anyway,” Rachel and Leah replied.

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

15 “He treats us like foreigners because he sold us to you, and now he's spent all that money.

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

16 All the wealth that God has taken from him belongs to us and our children, so do whatever God has told you to do!”

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

17 So Jacob got ready. He helped his children and his wives onto the camels,

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

18 and drove all his livestock in front of him. He took with him all his possessions and livestock he'd gained during his time in Paddan-aram, and left to go back to his father in the country 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 While Laban was away from home shearing his sheep, Rachel stole the household idols that belonged to her father.

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

20 Jacob also deceived Laban the Aramean by not informing him that he was going to run away.

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

21 So Jacob left in a hurry with everything he had, crossed the Euphrates River, and headed towards the hill country of Gilead.

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

22 Three days later Laban found out that Jacob had run away.

A treæi dan javiše Lavanu da je pobjegao Jakov.

23 Taking some of his relatives with him, he chased after Jacob and caught up with him seven days later in the hill country of Gilead.

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

24 But during the night God came to Laban in a dream and told him, “Watch what you say to Jacob. Don't try to persuade him to come back, and don't threaten him either.”

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

25 Jacob had set up his tents in the hill country of Gilead when Laban caught up with him, so Laban and his relatives did the same.

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 “Why did you deceive me like this?” Laban asked Jacob. “You carried off my daughters as if they were some prisoners captured by the sword!

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

27 Why did you run away in secret, trying to trick me? Why didn't you come and tell me? I would have given you a good send-off, a celebration with singing and the music of tambourines 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 didn't even let me kiss my grandchildren and daughters goodbye! You've really acted stupidly!

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

29 I could really punish you badly, but the God of your father spoke to me last night and told me, ‘Watch what you say to Jacob. Don't try to persuade him to come back, and don't threaten him either.’

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

30 Clearly you wanted to leave and go back to your family home, but why did you have to steal my idols?”

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

31 “I ran away because I was afraid,” Jacob explained to Laban. “I was worried that you would take your daughters from me by force.

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

32 As for your idols, anyone you find who has them will die. You can search everything in the presence of our relatives, and if you find I have anything that belongs to you, you can take it.” (Jacob didn't know that Rachel had stolen the household 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 Laban searched the tents of Jacob, Leah, and the two personal maids, but didn't find anything. He left Leah's tent and went into Rachel's tent.

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 Rachel had put the household idols in a camel's saddlebag and was sitting on it. Laban carefully searched the whole tent but couldn't find them.

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 to her father, “Sir, please don't get upset with me for not standing up in your presence, but I have my period.” He looked everywhere but didn't find the idols.

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 Jacob got angry with Laban and confronted him, saying, “What crime am I guilty of? What wrong have I done to you that you've come hunting me down?

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 You've searched through all my possessions. Did you find anything belonging to you? If you did, bring it out here before my relatives and yours so they can decide who's right!

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 I've worked for you for these past twenty years. During that time none of your sheep and goats miscarried, and I haven't eaten a single ram from your flock.

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

39 If any of them were killed by wild animals, I never even brought you the carcass to prove the loss—I bore the loss myself. But you on the other hand always made me compensate you for any animals that were stolen, whether at night or in broad daylight.

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

40 Whether it was sweating in the heat of the day, or freezing in the cold of the night when I couldn't sleep, I went on working for you for twenty years in your home.

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

41 I worked fourteen years for your two daughters, and six more years with your flocks. You reduced 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 it weren't for the God of my father, the God of Abraham, the awesome God of Isaac, who took care of me, you would have dismissed me with nothing. But God saw my suffering, how hard I worked, and he condemned you last night.”

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 replied, “These are my daughters and these are my children and these are my flocks! In fact, everything you see here is mine! However, what can I do now about my daughters and their children?

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 So let's make a solemn agreement between you and I, and it will be a witness to our mutual commitment.”

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

45 Jacob took a stone and set it upright as a pillar.

I Jakov uze kamen i utvrdi ga za spomen.

46 Then he told his relatives, “Go and collect some stones.” They all made a pile of stones and then sat beside it to eat a meal.

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

47 Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, while Jacob called it Galeed.

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

48 Laban announced, “This pile of stone serves as a witness between me and you.” This is why it was called Galeed.

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

49 It was also called Mizpah, for as Laban said, “May the Lord keep a close eye on both of us when we're not together.

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

50 If you treat my daughters badly or marry more wives in addition to them, God will see what you do even if no one else finds out!”

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 Then Laban told Jacob, “Look at this pile of stones and this pillar that I have set up as a memorial of the agreement between you and me.

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

52 They also act as a witness to our solemn promises to each other: I will not come past them to attack you; and you will not come past them to attack 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 our forefathers—be the one to judge between us in any dispute.” Jacob in turn made his solemn promise in the name of the awesome God 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 Then he offered a sacrifice on the mountain and invited all his relatives to eat a meal there. They spent the night on the mountain.

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

55 Laban got up early in the morning and kissed his grandchildren and his daughters goodbye. He blessed them, and then left to go back home.

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