Genesis 28
1 Then Izhak called Iaakob and blessed him, and charged him, and sayde vnto him, Take not a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Stoga Izak pozove Jakova, blagoslovi ga te mu naloži: “Nemoj uzimati ženu od kanaanskih djevojaka.
2 Arise, get thee to Padan Aram to the house of Bethuel thy mothers father, and thence take thee a wife of the daughters of Laban thy mothers brother.
Odmah se zaputi u Padan Aram, u dom Betuela, oca svoje majke, pa odande sebi uzmi ženu, od kćeri Labana, brata svoje majke.
3 And God all sufficient blesse thee, and make thee to encrease, and multiplie thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people,
A Bog Svemožni, El-Šadaj, neka te blagoslovi i neka te učini rodnim i brojnim, tako da postaneš mnoštvo naroda.
4 And giue thee the blessing of Abraham, euen to thee and to thy seede with thee, that thou mayest inherite the lande (wherein thou art a stranger, ) which God gaue vnto Abraham.
Neka protegne na te blagoslov Abrahamov, na te i na tvoje potomstvo, tako da zaposjedneš zemlju u kojoj boraviš kao pridošlica, a koju je Bog predao Abrahamu!”
5 Thus Izhak sent forth Iaakob, and he went to Padan Aram vnto Laban sonne of Bethuel the Aramite, brother to Rebekah, Iaakobs and Esaus mother.
Tako Izak otpremi Jakova, i on ode u Padan Aram Labanu, sinu Aramejca Betuela, bratu Rebeke, majke Jakova i Ezava.
6 When Esau sawe that Izhak had blessed Iaakob, and sent him to Padan Aram, to set him a wife thence, and giuen him a charge when he blessed him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan,
Kad je Ezav vidio kako je Izak blagoslovio Jakova kad ga je otpremao u Padan Aram da odande sebi uzme ženu, naređujući mu kad ga je blagoslivljao: “Ne smiješ uzeti ženu od kanaanskih djevojaka”,
7 And that Iaakob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan Aram:
i da je Jakov poslušao svoga oca i svoju majku te otišao u Padan Aram,
8 Also Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan displeased Izhak his father,
Ezav shvati koliko su djevojke kanaanske mrske njegovu ocu Izaku.
9 Then went Esau to Ishmael, and tooke vnto the wiues, which he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abrahams sonne, the sister of Nabaioth, to be his wife.
Stoga ode k Jišmaelu te se, uza žene koje već imaše, oženi Mahalatom, kćerju Jišmaela, sina Abrahamova, a sestrom Nebajotovom.
10 Now Iaakob departed from Beer-sheba, and went to Haran,
Jakov ostavi Beer Šebu i zaputi se u Haran.
11 And he came vnto a certaine place, and taried there al night, because the sunne was downe, and tooke of the stones of the place, and layde vnder his head and slept in the same place.
Stigne u neko mjesto i tu prenoći, jer sunce bijaše već zašlo. Uzme jedan kamen s onog mjesta, stavi ga pod glavu i na tom mjestu legne.
12 Then he dreamed, and behold, there stoode a ladder vpon the earth, and the top of it reached vp to heauen: and loe, the Angels of God went vp and downe by it.
I usne san: ljestve stoje na zemlji, a vrhom do neba dopiru, i anđeli Božji po njima se penju i silaze.
13 And behold, the Lord stoode aboue it, and sayd, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Izhak: the land, vpon the which thou sleepest, wil I giue thee and thy seede.
Uza nj je Jahve te mu govori: “Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoga praoca Abrahama i Bog Izakov. Zemlju na kojoj ležiš dat ću tebi i tvome potomstvu.
14 And thy seede 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 seede shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Tvojih će potomaka biti kao i praha na zemlji; raširit ćete se na zapad, istok, sjever i jug; tobom će se i tvojim potomstvom blagoslivljati svi narodi zemlje.
15 And lo, I am with thee, and wil keepe thee whithersoeuer thou goest, and will bring thee againe into this lande: for I will not forsake thee vntill I haue performed that, that I haue promised thee.
Dobro znaj: ja sam s tobom; čuvat ću te kamo god pođeš te ću te dovesti natrag u ovu zemlju; i neću te ostaviti dok ne izvršim što sam ti obećao.”
16 Then Iaakob awoke out of his sleepe, and sayde, Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware.
Jakov se probudi od sna te reče: “Zaista se Jahve nalazi na ovome mjestu, ali ja nisam znao!”
17 And he was afraid, and said, How fearefull is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heauen.
Potresen, uzviknu: “Kako je strašno ovo mjesto! Zaista, ovo je kuća Božja, ovo su vrata nebeska!”
18 Then Iaakob rose vp early in the morning, and tooke the stone that hee had layde vnder his head, and set it vp as a pillar, and powred oyle vpon the top of it.
Rano ujutro Jakov uzme onaj kamen što ga bijaše stavio pod glavu, uspravi ga kao stup i po vrhu mu izlije ulja.
19 And he called ye name of that place Bethel: notwithstanding the name of the citie was at the first called Luz.
Ono mjesto on nazva Betel, dok je ime tome gradu prije bilo Luz.
20 Then Iaakob vowed a vowe, saying, If God will be with me, and will keepe me in this iourney which I go, and wil giue me bread to eate, and clothes to put on:
Tada učini zavjet: “Ako Bog ostane sa mnom i uščuva me na ovom putu kojim idem, dade mi kruha da jedem i odijela da se oblačim,
21 So that I come againe vnto my fathers house in safetie, then shall the Lord be my God.
te se zdravo vratim kući svoga oca, Jahve će biti moj Bog.
22 And this stone, which I haue set vp as a pillar, shall be Gods house: and of all that thou shalt giue me, wil I giue the tenth vnto thee.
A ovaj kamen koji sam uspravio kao stup bit će kuća Božja. A od svega što mi budeš davao za te ću odlagati desetinu.”
