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 that which was our father’s has he gotten 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 beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
A opazi Jakov i na Labanovu licu da se on ne drži prema njemu kao prije.
3 And the LORD said to Jacob, Return to the land of your fathers, and to your kindred; and I will be with you.
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 field 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 before; 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 deceived me, and 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 your wages; then all the cattle bore speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be your hire; then bore all the cattle 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 Thus 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 that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped on the cattle 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 spoke to me in a dream, saying, 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 your eyes, and see, all the rams which leap on the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted: for I have seen all that Laban does to you.
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 you anointed the pillar, and where you vowed a vow to me: now arise, get you out from this land, and return to the land of your 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 counted of him strangers? for he has sold us, and has quite devoured also 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 riches which God has taken from our father, that is ours, and our children’s: now then, whatever God has said to you, do.
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 set his sons and his wives on camels;
Nato Jakov naprti na deve svoju djecu i svoje žene;
18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in 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 went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father’s.
Laban bijaše otišao da striže svoje ovce, pa Rahela prisvoji kućne kumire koji su pripadali njezinu ocu.
20 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
Jakov zavara Aramejca Labana tako da nije ni slutio da će bježati.
21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the 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 was fled.
Trećeg dana obavijeste Labana da je Jakov pobjegao.
23 And he took his brothers with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey; and they overtook him in the 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 heed that you 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 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brothers pitched in the mount of 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 have you done, that you have stolen away unawares to me, and carried away 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 did you flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and did not tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, 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 have not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? you have now done foolishly in so doing.
Nisi mi dopustio ni da izljubim svoje kćeri i svoju unučad! Zbilja si ludo postupio.
29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take you heed that you 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, though you would needs be gone, because you sore longed after your father’s house, yet why have you 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, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure you would take by force your daughters from me.
Jakov odgovori Labanu: “Strepio sam od pomisli da bi mi mogao silom oteti svoje kćeri.
32 With whomsoever you find your gods, let him not live: before our brothers discern you what is your with me, and take it to you. For Jacob knew not 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 maidservants’ tents; but he found them not. Then went he 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 images, and put them in the camel’s furniture, and sat on them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
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 displease my lord that I cannot rise up before you; for the custom of women is on me. And he searched but found not the images.
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 wroth, and strived with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that you have 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 you have searched all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? set it here before my brothers and your brothers, that they may judge 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 This twenty years have I been with you; your ewes and your she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of your flock have I 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 That which was torn of beasts I brought not to you; I bore the loss of it; of my hand did you require 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 I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from my eyes.
Često sam danju skapavao od žeđi, a obnoć od studeni. San je bježao od mojih očiju.
41 Thus have I been twenty years in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your cattle: and you have 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 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely you had sent me away now empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you 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, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that you see is mine: and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children which they have born?
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 Now therefore come you, let us make a covenant, I and you; and let it be for a witness between me and you.
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 brothers, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there on 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 Jegarsahadutha: but 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 you 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, The LORD watch between me and you, when we are absent 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 you shall afflict my daughters, or if you shall take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness between me and you.
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 this pillar, which I have cast between me and you:
Potom Laban reče Jakovu: “Ovdje je, evo, gomila; ovdje je stup koji sam uspravio između sebe i tebe:
52 This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you shall not pass over this heap and this pillar 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 Then Jacob offered sacrifice on the mount, and called his brothers to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
Poslije toga Jakov prinese žrtvu na Glavici i pozva svoje ljude da blaguju. Poslije objeda proveli su noć na Glavici.
55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, 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.
