Genesis 28
1 And Isaac calleth unto Jacob, and blesseth him, and commandeth him, and saith to him, 'Thou dost not take a wife of the daughters of Caanan;
Izak je poklical Jakoba, ga blagoslovil, mu naročil ter mu rekel: »Ne boš si vzel žene izmed Kánaanovih hčera.
2 rise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel, thy mother's father, and take for thyself from thence a wife, of the daughters of Laban, thy mother's brother;
Vstani, pojdi v Padan–aram, k hiši Betuéla, očeta tvoje matere in od tam si vzemi ženo izmed hčera Labána, brata tvoje matere.
3 and God Almighty doth bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and thou hast become an assembly of peoples;
Bog Vsemogočni naj te blagoslovi in te naredi rodovitnega in te namnoži, da boš lahko postal množica ljudstva
4 and He doth give to thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee, to cause thee to possess the land of thy sojournings, which God gave to Abraham.'
in ti da Abrahamov blagoslov, tebi in tvojemu semenu s teboj, da boš lahko podedoval deželo, v kateri si tujec, ki jo je Bog dal Abrahamu.«
5 And Isaac sendeth away Jacob, and he goeth to Padan-Aram, unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramaean, brother of Rebekah, mother of Jacob and Esau.
Izak je odposlal Jakoba in ta je odšel v Padan–aram, k Labánu, sinu Sirca Betuéla, brata Jakobove in Ezavove matere Rebeke.
6 And Esau seeth that Isaac hath blessed Jacob, and hath sent him to Padan-Aram to take to himself from thence a wife — in his blessing him that he layeth a charge upon him, saying, Thou dost not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan —
Ko je Ezav videl, da je Izak blagoslovil Jakoba in ga odposlal v Padan–aram, da si od tam vzame ženo in da mu je med blagoslovom dal naročilo, rekoč: »Ne boš si vzel žene izmed Kánaanovih hčera, «
7 that Jacob hearkeneth unto his father and unto his mother, and goeth to Padan-Aram —
in da je Jakob ubogal svojega očeta in svojo mater ter odšel v Padan–aram,
8 and Esau seeth that the daughters of Canaan are evil in the eyes of Isaac his father,
je Ezav videl, da Kánaanove hčere njegovemu očetu Izaku niso ugajale
9 and Esau goeth unto Ishmael, and taketh Mahalath, daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, sister of Nebajoth, unto his wives, to himself, for a wife.
in je Ezav potem odšel k Izmaelu in si k ženama, ki ju je imel, vzel Mahaláto, hčer Abrahamovega sina Izmaela, Nebajótovo sestro, da postane njegova žena.
10 And Jacob goeth out from Beer-Sheba, and goeth toward Haran,
Jakob pa je odšel iz Beeršébe in odšel proti Haránu.
11 and he toucheth at a [certain] place, and lodgeth there, for the sun hath gone in, and he taketh of the stones of the place, and maketh [them] his pillows, and lieth down in that place.
Ker pa je sonce zašlo, se je spustil na nek kraj in se tam vso noč zadrževal in vzel je kamne tega kraja in jih položil za svoje blazine in se ulegel na ta kraj, da zaspi.
12 And he dreameth, and lo, a ladder set up on the earth, and its head is touching the heavens; and lo, messengers of God are going up and coming down by it;
Sanjal je in glej lestev, postavljeno na zemljo in njen vrh je segal do nebes. In glej, Božji angeli so se vzpenjali in spuščali po njej.
13 and lo, Jehovah is standing upon it, and He saith, 'I [am] Jehovah, God of Abraham thy father, and God of Isaac; the land on which thou art lying, to thee I give it, and to thy seed;
In glej, Gospod je stal nad njo ter rekel: »Jaz sem Gospod, Bog tvojega očeta Abrahama in Izakov Bog. Deželo, na kateri ležiš, bom dal tebi in tvojemu semenu.
14 and thy seed hath been as the dust of the land, and thou hast broken forth westward, and eastward, and northward, and southward, and all families of the ground have been blessed in thee and in thy seed.
Tvojega semena bo kakor zemeljskega prahu in razširjen boš na zahod, na vzhod, na sever in na jug. In v tebi in v tvojem semenu bodo blagoslovljene vse družine zemlje.
15 'And lo, I [am] with thee, and have kept thee whithersoever thou goest, and have caused thee to turn back unto this ground; for I leave thee not till that I have surely done that which I have spoken to thee.'
Glej, jaz sem s teboj in varoval te bom na vseh krajih, kamor greš in ponovno te bom privedel v to deželo, kajti ne bom te zapustil, dokler ne storim tega, o čemer sem ti govoril.«
16 And Jacob awaketh out of his sleep, and saith, 'Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew not;'
Jakob se je zbudil iz svojega spanja in rekel: »Zagotovo je na tem kraju Gospod, jaz pa tega nisem vedel.«
17 and he feareth, and saith, 'How fearful [is] this place; this is nothing but a house of God, and this a gate of the heavens.'
Bil je prestrašen in rekel: »Kako grozen je ta kraj! To ni nič drugega kakor Božja hiša in to so velika nebeška vrata.«
18 And Jacob riseth early in the morning, and taketh the stone which he hath made his pillows, and maketh it a standing pillar, and poureth oil upon its top,
Jakob je zgodaj zjutraj vstal in vzel kamen, ki ga je podstavil za svoje blazine in ga postavil za steber in nanj, na njegov vrh, izlil olje.
19 and he calleth the name of that place Bethel, [house of God, ] and yet, Luz [is] the name of the city at the first.
Ime tega kraja je imenoval Betel, toda ime tega kraja je bilo najprej imenovano Luz.
20 And Jacob voweth a vow, saying, 'Seeing God is with me, and hath kept me in this way which I am going, and hath given to me bread to eat, and a garment to put on —
Jakob se je zaobljubil, rekoč: »Če bo Bog z menoj in me bo varoval na tej poti, ki jo hodim in mi bo dal za jesti kruha in oblačilo, da ga oblečem,
21 when I have turned back in peace unto the house of my father, and Jehovah hath become my God,
tako da ponovno v miru pridem k hiši svojega očeta, potem bo Gospod moj Bog.
22 then this stone which I have made a standing pillar is a house of God, and all that Thou dost give to me — tithing I tithe to Thee.'
In ta kamen, ki sem ga postavil za steber, bo Božja hiša. Od vsega, kar mi boš dal, ti bom zagotovo dajal desetino.«
