Genesis 28
1 And Isaac calls to Jacob, and blesses him, and commands him, and says to him, “You must not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
Тада Исак дозва Јакова, и благослови га, и заповеди му и рече: Немој да се ожениш којом између кћери хананејских.
2 rise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel, and take for yourself a wife from there, from the daughters of your mother’s brother Laban;
Устани, иди у Падан-Арам у дом Ватуила оца матере своје, и оданде се ожени између кћери Лавана ујака свог.
3 and God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and you have become an assembly of peoples;
А Бог Свемогући да те благослови, и да ти да велику породицу и умножи те, да од тебе постане мноштво народа,
4 and He gives to you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your seed with you, to cause you to possess the land of your sojournings, which God gave to Abraham.”
И да ти да благослов Аврамов, теби и семену твом с тобом, да наследиш земљу у којој си дошљак, коју Бог даде Авраму.
5 And Isaac sends Jacob away, and he goes to Padan-Aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, brother of Rebekah, mother of Jacob and Esau.
Тако оправи Исак Јакова, и он пође у Падан-Арам к Лавану сину Ватуила Сирина, брату Ревеке матере Јаковљеве и Исавове.
6 And Esau sees that Isaac has blessed Jacob, and has sent him to Padan-Aram to take to himself from there a wife—in his blessing him that he lays a charge on him, saying, You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan—
А Исав виде где Исак благослови Јакова и оправи га у Падан-Арам да се оданде ожени, и где благосиљајући га заповеди му и рече: Немој да се ожениш којом између кћери хананејских,
7 that Jacob listens to his father and to his mother, and goes to Padan-Aram—
И где Јаков послуша оца свог и матер своју, и отиде у Падан-Арам;
8 and Esau sees that the daughters of Canaan are evil in the eyes of his father Isaac,
И виде Исав да кћери хананејске нису по вољи Исаку оцу његовом.
9 and Esau goes to Ishmael, and takes Mahalath, daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, sister of Nebajoth, to his wives, to himself, for a wife.
Па отиде Исав к Исмаилу, и узе за жену преко жена својих Маелету, кћер Исмаила сина Аврамовог, сестру Навеотову.
10 And Jacob goes out from Beer-Sheba, and goes toward Haran,
А Јаков отиде од Вирсавеје идући у Харан.
11 and he touches at a [certain] place, and lodges there, for the sun has gone in, and he takes of the stones of the place, and makes [them] his pillows, and lies down in that place.
И дође на једно место, и онде заноћи, јер сунце беше зашло; и узе камен на оном месту, и метну га себи под главу, и заспа на оном месту.
12 And he dreams, and behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and its head is touching the heavens; and behold, messengers of God are going up and coming down by it;
И усни, а то лестве стајаху на земљи а врхом тицаху у небо, и гле, анђели Божји по њима се пењаху и силажаху;
13 and behold, YHWH is standing on it, and He says, “I [am] YHWH, God of your father Abraham, and God of Isaac; the land on which you are lying, to you I give it, and to your seed;
И гле, на врху стајаше Господ, и рече: Ја сам Господ Бог Аврама оца твог и Бог Исаков; ту земљу на којој спаваш теби ћу дати и семену твом;
14 and your seed has been as the dust of the land, and you have broken forth westward, and eastward, and northward, and southward, and all families of the ground have been blessed in you and in your seed.
И семена ће твог бити као праха на земљи, те ћеш се раширити на запад и на исток и на север и на југ, и сви народи на земљи благословиће се у теби и у семену твом.
15 And behold, I [am] with you, and have kept you wherever you go, and have caused you to return to this ground; for I do not leave you until I have surely done that which I have spoken to you.”
И ево, ја сам с тобом, и чуваћу те куда год пођеш, и довешћу те натраг у ову земљу, јер те нећу оставити докле год не учиним шта ти рекох.
16 And Jacob awakens out of his sleep and says, “Surely YHWH is in this place, and I did not know”;
А кад се Јаков пробуди од сна, рече: Зацело је Господ на овом месту; а ја не знах.
17 and he fears and says, “How fearful [is] this place; this is nothing but a house of God, and this a gate of the heavens.”
И уплаши се, и рече: Како је страшно место ово! Овде је доиста кућа Божја, и ово су врата небеска.
18 And Jacob rises early in the morning, and takes the stone which he has made his pillows, and makes it a standing pillar, and pours oil on its top,
И уста Јаков ујутру рано, и узе камен што беше метнуо себи под главу, и утврди га за спомен и прели га уљем.
19 and he calls the name of that place Bethel, [house of God, ] and yet, Luz [is] the name of the city at the first.
И прозва оно место Ветиљ, а пре беше име оном граду Луз.
20 And Jacob vows a vow, saying, “Seeing God is with me, and has kept me in this way which I am going, and has given to me bread to eat, and a garment to put on—
И учини Јаков завет, говорећи: Ако Бог буде са мном и сачува ме на путу којим идем и да ми хлеба да једем и одела да се облачим,
21 when I have turned back in peace to the house of my father, and YHWH has become my God,
И ако се вратим на миру у дом оца свог, Господ ће ми бити Бог;
22 then this stone which I have made a standing pillar is a house of God, and all that You give to me—tithing I tithe to You.”
А камен овај који утврдих за спомен биће дом Божји; и шта ми год даш, од свега ћу десето дати Теби.
