Genesis 31
1 And he hears the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken all that our father has; indeed, from that which our father has, he has made 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 sees the face of Laban, and behold, it is not with him as before.
A opazi Jakov i na Labanovu licu da se on ne drži prema njemu kao prije.
3 And YHWH says to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your family, and I am with you.”
Tada Jahve reče Jakovu: “Vrati se u zemlju svojih otaca, u svoj zavičaj, i ja ću biti s tobom!”
4 And Jacob sends and calls for Rachel and for Leah to the field to his flock;
Jakov onda pozove Rahelu i Leu u polje, k svome stadu,
5 and says to them, “I am beholding your father’s face—that it is not toward me as before, and 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 have known 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 played on me, and has changed my hire ten times; and God has not permitted him to do evil with 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 says thus: The speckled are your hire, then all the flock bore speckled ones; and if he says thus: The striped are your hire, then all the flock bore striped;
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 takes away the substance of your father, and gives to me.
Tako je Bog uzimao blago od vašeg oca pa ga meni davao.
10 And it comes to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up my eyes and see in a dream, and behold, the male goats, which are going up on the flock, [are] striped, 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 Messenger of God says to me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here I [am].
Još u snu anđeo Božji mene zovne: 'Jakove!' 'Evo me!' rekoh.
12 And He says, Now lift up your eyes and see [that] all the male goats which are going up on the flock [are] striped, speckled, and spotted, for I have seen all that Laban is doing 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 have anointed a standing pillar, where you have vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.”
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 answers—Leah also—and says to him, “Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?
Nato mu Rahela i Lea odgovore: “Zar još imamo baštinskog dijela u svome očinskom domu?
15 Have we not been reckoned strangers to him? For he has sold us, and he also utterly consumes 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 wealth which God has taken away from our father, it [is] ours, and our children’s; and now, all that 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 And Jacob rises, and lifts up his sons and his wives on the camels,
Nato Jakov naprti na deve svoju djecu i svoje žene;
18 and leads all his livestock, and all his substance which he has acquired, the livestock of his getting, which he has acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to his father Isaac, to 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 has gone to shear his flock, and Rachel steals the teraphim which her father has;
Laban bijaše otišao da striže svoje ovce, pa Rahela prisvoji kućne kumire koji su pripadali njezinu ocu.
20 and Jacob deceives the heart of Laban the Aramean, because he has not declared to him that he is fleeing;
Jakov zavara Aramejca Labana tako da nije ni slutio da će bježati.
21 and he flees, he and all that he has, and rises, and passes over the River, and sets his face [toward] the Mount of Gilead.
I pobjegne sa svim što je bilo njegovo. Ubrzo prijeđe Eufrat i upravi put prema brdu Gileadu.
22 And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob has fled,
Trećeg dana obavijeste Labana da je Jakov pobjegao.
23 and he takes his brothers with him, and pursues after him a journey of seven days, and overtakes him in the Mount of 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 comes to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night and says to him, “Take heed to yourself lest you speak with Jacob from good to evil.”
Ali se Bog ukaza Aramejcu Labanu, noću u snu, te mu reče. “Pazi da protiv Jakova ne poduzimlješ ništa, ni dobro ni zlo!”
25 And Laban overtakes Jacob; and Jacob has fixed his tent in the mountain; and Laban with his brothers have fixed [theirs] 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 says to Jacob, “What have you done that you deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives of the sword?
Onda Laban reče Jakovu: “Što si to htio zavaravajući me i odvodeći mi kćeri kao zarobljenice na maču?
27 Why have you hidden yourself to flee, and deceive me, and have not declared to me, and I send you away with joy and with songs, with tambourine 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 permitted me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have acted foolishly in doing [so];
Nisi mi dopustio ni da izljubim svoje kćeri i svoju unučad! Zbilja si ludo postupio.
29 my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your father last night has spoken to me, saying, Take heed to yourself from speaking with Jacob from good to evil.
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, you have certainly gone, because you have been very desirous for the house of your father; 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 answers and says to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest you violently take away 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—he must not live; before our brothers discern for yourself what [is] with me, and take to yourself”: and Jacob has not known that Rachel has 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 goes into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and has not found; and he goes out from the tent of Leah, and goes into the tent of Rachel.
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 And Rachel has taken the teraphim, and puts them in the furniture of the camel, and sits on them; and Laban feels all the tent, and has not found;
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 says to her father, “Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at your presence, for the way of women [is] on me”; and he searches, and has not found the teraphim.
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 it is displeasing to Jacob, and he strives with Laban; and Jacob answers and says to Laban, “What [is] my transgression? What my sin, that you have burned 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 For you have felt all my vessels: what have you found of all the vessels of your house? Set here before my brothers, and your brothers, and they decide 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 These twenty years I [am] with you: your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and the rams of your flock I have 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 the torn I have not brought to you—I repay it—from my hand you seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived 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 I have been [thus]: drought has consumed me in the day, and frost by night, and my sleep wanders from my eyes.
Često sam danju skapavao od žeđi, a obnoć od studeni. San je bježao od mojih očiju.
41 This [is] to me twenty years in your house: I have served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock; and you change my hire 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, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now you had sent me away empty; God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and reproves 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 answers and says to Jacob, “The daughters [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that you are seeing [is] mine; and to my daughters—what do I to these today, or to their sons whom 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 And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and you, and it has been 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 takes a stone, and lifts it up [for] a standing pillar;
Nato Jakov uzme jedan kamen pa ga uspravi kao stup,
46 and Jacob says to his brothers, “Gather stones,” and they take stones, and make a heap; and they 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 calls it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob has called it Galeed.
Laban je nazva “Jegar sahaduta”, a Jakov je nazva “Gal-ed”.
48 And Laban says, “This heap [is] witness between me and you today”; therefore has he called its name Galeed;
Onda Laban izjavi: “Neka ova gomila danas bude svjedok između mene i tebe!” Stoga je nazvana Gal-ed,
49 Mizpah also, for he said, “YHWH watches between me and you, for we are hidden from one 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 afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters—there is no man 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 says to Jacob, “Behold, this heap, and behold, the standing 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 [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap to you, and that you do not pass over this heap and this standing pillar to me—for evil;
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, judges between us—the God of their father,” and Jacob swears 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 Jacob sacrifices a sacrifice on the mountain, and calls to his brothers to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge on the mountain;
Poslije toga Jakov prinese žrtvu na Glavici i pozva svoje ljude da blaguju. Poslije objeda proveli su noć na Glavici.
55 and Laban rises early in the morning, and kisses his sons and his daughters, and blesses them; and Laban goes on, and turns back to his place.
Ranim se jutrom Laban digne, izljubi svoje sinove i svoje kćeri te ih blagoslovi; onda se zaputi natrag u svoje mjesto.
