Genesis 31
1 Someone told Jacob that Laban’s sons were complaining and saying, “Jacob has become very rich by taking everything [HYP] that belonged to our father.”
А Јаков чу где синови Лаванови говоре: Јаков узе све што беше нашег оца, и од оног што беше нашег оца стече све ово благо.
2 And Jacob noticed that Laban was not acting friendly toward him as he had done before.
И виде Јаков где лице Лаваново није према њему као пре.
3 Then Yahweh said to Jacob, “Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will help you there.”
И Господ рече Јакову: Врати се у земљу отаца својих и у род свој, и ја ћу бити с тобом.
4 So Jacob sent a message to Rachel and Leah, telling them to come out to the pastures where his flocks of sheep and goats were.
И пославши Јаков дозва Рахиљу и Лију у поље к стаду свом.
5 When they arrived, he said to them, “I see that your father does not act friendly toward me as he did previously. But God, whom my father worshiped, has helped me.
И рече им: Видим где лице оца вашег није према мени као пре; али је Бог оца мог био са мном.
6 You two know that I have worked very hard for your father,
И ви знате да сам служио оцу вашем како сам год могао;
7 but many times [HYP] he has cheated me by decreasing my wages. But God has not allowed him to harm me.
А отац ме је ваш варао и мењао ми плату десет пута; али му Бог не даде да ме оштети;
8 When Laban said, ‘The speckled animals are the ones that I will give you to be your wages,’ then all the animals gave birth to young ones that were speckled. When he changed and said, ‘The ones that have black and white stripes on them will be your wages,’ then all the animals gave birth to young ones that were striped.
Кад он рече: Шта буде шарено нека ти је плата, онда се младило све шарено; а кад рече: С белегом шта буде нека ти је плата, онда се младило све с белегом.
9 In that way, God has taken away the livestock that belonged to your father and has given them to me.
Тако Бог узе стоку оцу вашем и даде је мени;
10 “One time, when the animals were mating, I had a dream. In my dream I [looked up and was surprised to] see that some of the male goats that were mating with the female goats had black and white stripes on them, some were speckled, and some were spotted.
Јер кад се упаљиваше стока, подигох очи своје и видех у сну, а то овнови и јарци што скачу на овце и козе беху шарени, с белегама прутастим и коластим.
11 An angel who was sent by God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob!’ I replied, ‘I am here!’
А анђео Господњи рече ми у сну: Јакове! А ја одговорих: Ево ме.
12 He said to me, ‘Look up and you will see that all the male goats that are mating have black and white stripes on them, or are speckled or spotted. This is happening because I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
А он рече: Подигни сад очи своје и гледај, овнови и јарци што скачу на овце и козе, шарени су, с белегама прутастим и коластим; јер видех све што ти чини Лаван.
13 I am God who appeared to you at Bethel, where you set up a stone to show that the place was holy, and you poured [olive] oil on the stone and made a solemn promise to me. So now leave this land immediately, and return to the land where you were born.’”
Ја сам Бог од Ветиља, где си прелио камен и учинио ми завет; устани сада и иди из ове земље, и врати се на постојбину своју.
14 Rachel and Leah replied, “Our father will not give us anything more when he dies [RHQ].
Тада одговори Рахиља и Лија, и рекоше му: Еда ли још имамо какав део и наследство у дому оца свог?
15 He treats us as though we were foreigners [RHQ]! [Your working for him all these years was like a payment] that you gave him as a price for us, but we will not inherit any of that money that he got as a price for us. He has spent it all!
Није ли нас држао као туђинке кад нас је продао? Па је још и наше новце једнако јео.
16 Surely all of the wealth that God took away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you to do!”
Јер све ово благо што узе Господ оцу нашем, наше је и наше деце. Зато чини све што ти је Господ казао.
17 Then Jacob put his children and his wives on camels.
И подиже се Јаков, и метну децу своју и жене своје на камиле;
18 He made all his livestock go ahead of him. Besides the livestock, he took along all the other things that he had acquired while living in Paddan-Aram. And they prepared to return to his father Isaac, in the Canaan region.
И одведе сву стоку своју и све благо што беше стекао, стоку коју беше стекао у Падан-Араму, и пође к Исаку оцу свом у земљу хананску.
19 Before they left, while Laban was shearing his sheep, Rachel stole the [small wooden] idols [that were in her father’s tent].
А Лаван беше отишао да стриже овце своје; и Рахиља украде идоле оцу свом.
20 Furthermore, Jacob deceived Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group, by not telling him that they were planning to leave.
И Јаков отиде крадом од Лавана Сирина не јавивши му да хоће да иде.
21 So Jacob and his family fled with all their possessions, and they crossed the Euphrates River, and then started traveling south toward the hilly Gilead region.
И побеже са свим благом својим, и подиже се те пређе преко воде, и упути се ка гори Галаду.
22 On the third day after they left, someone told Laban that Jacob and his family had left.
А трећи дан јавише Лавану да је побегао Јаков.
23 So he took some of his relatives with him and started to pursue Jacob. They continued walking for seven days.
И узе са собом браћу своју, и пође за њим у потеру, и за седам дана стиже га на гори Галаду.
24 Then God appeared to Laban in a dream at night, and said to him, “When you catch up to Jacob, be sure that you do not say anything at all [HYP] to him in an angry manner!”
Али Бог дође Лавану Сирину ноћу у сну, и рече му: Чувај се да не говориш с Јаковом ни лепо ни ружно.
25 The next day, by the time Laban caught up with Jacob, Jacob and his household had set up their tents in the hilly Gilead region. So Laban and his relatives set up their tents there, too.
И стиже Лаван Јакова; а Јаков беше разапео шатор свој на гори, па и Лаван такође разапе свој с браћом својом на гори Галаду.
26 Then Laban went to Jacob and said to him, “Why have you done this? You have deceived me by carrying away my daughters as though you had captured them in a war [MTY]!
И Лаван рече Јакову: Шта учини те крадом побеже од мене и одведе кћери моје као на мач отете?
27 Why did you run away and deceive me? Why did you not tell me that you were going to leave, so that we could have rejoiced and sung while people played music on tambourines and harps before I said ‘goodbye’ to you?
Зашто тајно побеже и крадом отиде од мене? Нити ми рече да те испратим с весељем и с песмама, с бубњевима и гуслама?
28 (You did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye before they left!/Why did you not allow me to kiss my grandchildren and daughters goodbye before they left?) [RHQ] What you have done was foolish!
Нити ми даде да изљубим синове своје и кћери своје? Лудо си радио.
29 My relatives and I have the power to harm you, but last night the God whom your father worships said to me in a dream, ‘Be sure that you do not say anything at all to Jacob in an angry way.’
Могао бих вам досадити; али Бог оца вашег ноћас ми рече говорећи: Чувај се да не говориш с Јаковом ни лепо ни ружно.
30 Now, I know you have left because you long to go back home. But why did you steal my [wooden] idols?”
Иди дакле кад си се тако ужелео куће оца свог; али зашто украде богове моје?
31 Jacob replied to Laban, saying, “I did not tell you that we were planning to leave, because I was afraid. I thought that [if I told you], you would forcefully take your daughters away from me.
А Јаков одговори и рече: Бојах се и мишљах хоћеш силом отети кћери своје од мене.
32 But if you find anyone here who has your wooden idols, we will execute that person. While our relatives are watching, search for yourself to see if there is anything that belongs to you that is here with me. If you find anything, you can take it!” When Jacob said that, he did not know that Rachel had stolen the wooden idols.
А богове своје у кога нађеш, онај нека не живи више; пред нашом браћом тражи шта је твоје у мене, па узми. Јер Јаков није знао да их је украла Рахиља.
33 Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and then into Leah’s tent, and then into the tents of the two female slaves and searched for the idols, but he did not find them. After he left their tents, he entered Rachel’s tent.
И уђе Лаван у шатор Јаковљев и у шатор Лијин и у шатор двеју робиња, и не нађе их; и изашав из шатора Лијина уђе у шатор Рахиљин.
34 But Rachel had previously taken the idols and put them in the saddle of a camel, and she was sitting on the saddle. So when Laban searched all over for them inside Rachel’s tent, he did not find them.
А Рахиља узе идоле и сакри их под самар камиле своје и седе озго; и Лаван пипаше по целом шатору, и не нађе.
35 Rachel said to her father, “Do not be angry with me, sir, but I cannot get up in your presence [to show respect for you], because I am having my monthly menstrual period. [EUP]” So when Laban searched some more, he did not find the [wooden] idols.
А она рече оцу свом: Немој се срдити, господару, што ти не могу устати, јер ми је шта у жена бива. Траживши дакле не нађе идоле своје.
36 Then Jacob became angry. He rebuked Laban, saying, “What crime did I commit? For what sin that I committed have you pursued me?
И Јаков се расрди, и стаде корити Лавана, и говорећи рече му: Шта сам учинио, шта сам скривио, те си ме тако жестоко терао?
37 Now you have searched through all my possessions, and what did you find from all these possessions that belongs to you? Put it here in front of my relatives and your relatives, so that they can decide who is right, you or me!
Пипао си сав пртљаг мој, па шта си нашао из своје куће? Дај овамо пред моју и своју браћу, нека расуде између нас двојице.
38 I was with you for 20 years. In all that time, your sheep and goats have (not miscarried/always given birth to animals safely). I have not [killed and] eaten any rams from your flocks.
Ево двадесет година бих код тебе: овце твоје и козе твоје не јаловише се, а овнова из стада твог не једох.
39 When one of your animals was attacked and mauled/killed by a wild animal, I did not bring it to you. I replaced the dead animal with a living one of my own animals. Whenever one of your animals was stolen, during the day or during the night, you demanded that I replace it with one of my own animals.
Шта би зверје заклало нисам ти доносио, сам сам подмиривао; од мене си искао што би ми било украдено дању или ноћу.
40 I suffered from the heat during the day and from the cold at night. I was often not even able to sleep [PRS]!
Дању ме убијаше врућина а ноћу мраз; и сан ми не падаше на очи.
41 I lived in your household for 20 years. I worked for you for 14 years to buy your two daughters, and for six more years to buy some of your sheep and goats. During that time, you changed and reduced my wages many times [HYP].
Тако ми је био двадесет година у твојој кући; служио сам ти четрнаест година за две кћери твоје и шест година за стоку твоју, и плату си ми мењао десет пута.
42 If God, the one whom my grandfather Abraham worshiped and before whom my father Isaac trembled in fear, had not been with me and helped me, you would have sent me away (with nothing in my hands/owning nothing)! But God saw how much I was suffering and how hard I was working, so last night he told you that what you have done to me was wrong.”
Да није Бог оца мог, Бог Аврамов, и страх Исаков био са мном, би ме зацело отпустио празна. Али је Бог видео невољу моју и труд руку мојих, па те укори ноћас.
43 Laban replied, “These two women are my daughters, and their children are my grandchildren, and the animals are my animals. Everything you see here is mine [HYP]! But what can I do today to keep my daughters or the children they have given birth to [RHQ]?
А Лаван одговори Јакову и рече: Ове су кћери моје кћери, и ови су синови моји синови, и ова стока моја стока, и шта год видиш све је моје; па шта бих учинио данас кћерима својим или синовима њиховим које родише?
44 I cannot do anything in order to keep them, so hey, we should make a peace agreement, you and I, and do something that will remind us about our agreement.”
Него хајде да ухватимо веру, ја и ти, да буде сведочанство између мене и тебе.
45 So Jacob took a [large] stone and set it on its end.
И Јаков узе камен и утврди га за спомен.
46 Then Jacob said to his relatives, “You also gather some stones.” So they gathered some rocks and put them in a heap, and they ate some food there near the heap.
И рече Јаков браћи својој; накупите камења. И накупише камења и сложише на гомилу, и једоше на гомили.
47 Laban gave the heap the Aramaic name Jegar-Sahadutha, [which means ‘rock-pile to remind us’, ] but Jacob gave the rock-pile the Hebrew name Galeed, [which has the same meaning].
И Лаван га назва Јегар-Сахадут, а Јаков га назва Галед.
48 Laban said to Jacob, “This pile of rocks we have put here today will help us to remember our agreement.” That is why Jacob called it Galeed.
И рече Лаван: Ова гомила нека буде сведок између мене и тебе данас. Зато се прозва Галед.
49 They also named the place Mizpah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘watchtower’, ] because Laban said, “We will ask Yahweh to watch you and me while we are separated from each other, [so that we do not try to harm each other].
А прозва се и Миспа, јер рече Лаван: Нека Господ гледа између мене и тебе, кад не узможемо видети један другог.
50 If you mistreat my daughters, or if you take other women to be your wives, even if no one tells me about it, don’t forget that God sees what you and I are doing!”
Ако уцвелиш кћери моје и ако узмеш жене преко мојих кћери, неће човек бити између нас него гле Бог сведок између мене и тебе.
51 Laban also said to Jacob, “You see this large stone and this pile of rocks that we have set up to be between us.
И још рече Лаван Јакову: Гледај ову гомилу и гледај овај споменик, који подигох између себе и тебе.
52 Both this pile of rocks and this large stone will remind us, that I will not go past these rocks to harm you, and you will not go past these rocks to harm me.
Сведок је ова гомила и сведок је овај споменик, да ни ја нећу прећи преко ове гомиле к теби ни ти к мени да нећеш прећи преко ове гомиле и споменика овог на зло.
53 We will ask the God whom [your grandfather] Abraham and [his father] Nahor worshiped to punish [MTY] either one of us, [if we harm the other one].” So Jacob solemnly promised to do what they said in their peace agreement. And he asked God, the one before whom his father Isaac trembled, to listen to what they promised.
Бог Аврамов и богови Нахорови, богови оца њиховог, нека суде међу нама. А Јаков се закле страхом оца свог Исака.
54 He offered a sacrifice to God there in the hilly area, and he invited his relatives to eat with him. After they had eaten, they slept there that night.
И Јаков принесе жртву на гори, и сазва браћу своју на вечеру; и једоше па ноћише на гори.
55 The next morning Laban kissed his grandchildren and his daughters [goodbye] and asked God to bless them. Then he [and his men] left them and returned home.
А ујутру рано уста Лаван, и изљуби своју унучад и кћери своје, и благослови их, па отиде, и врати се у своје место.
