Genesis 31

1 And he heareth the words of Laban's sons, saying, 'Jacob hath taken all that our father hath; yea, from that which our father hath, he hath made all this honour;'

Slišal pa je besede Labánovih sinov, rekoč: »Jakob je vzel vse, kar je bilo našega očeta, in od tega, kar je bilo našega očeta, je dobil vso to slavo.«

2 and Jacob seeth the face of Laban, and lo, it is not with him as heretofore.

Jakob je gledal Labánovo obličje in glej, ni bilo proti njemu kakor poprej.

3 And Jehovah saith unto Jacob, 'Turn back unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I am with thee.'

Gospod je Jakobu rekel: »Vrni se v deželo svojih očetov in k svojemu sorodstvu in jaz bom s teboj.«

4 And Jacob sendeth and calleth for Rachel and for Leah to the field unto his flock;

Jakob je poslal in poklical Rahelo in Leo na polje k svojemu tropu

5 and saith to them, 'I am beholding your father's face — that it is not towards me as heretofore, and the God of my father hath been with me,

ter jima rekel: »Vidim obličje vajinega očeta, da le-to do mene ni kakor poprej, toda Bog mojega očeta je bil z menoj.

6 and ye — ye have known that with all my power I have served your father,

Vedve vesta, da sem z vso svojo močjo služil vajinemu očetu.

7 and your father hath played upon me, and hath changed my hire ten times; and God hath not suffered him to do evil with me.

Vajin oče pa me je zavedel in mi desetkrat spremenil moja plačila, toda Bog mu ni dovolil, da bi me prizadel.

8 'If he say thus: The speckled are thy hire, then bare all the flock speckled ones; and if he say thus: The ring-streaked are thy hire, then bare all the flock ring-streaked;

Če je rekel tako: ›Lisasta bodo tvoja plačila; ‹ potem je vsa živina kotila lisaste. Če pa je rekel tako: ›Krožno progasta bodo tvoja najemnina, ‹ potem je vsa živina kotila krožno progaste.

9 and God taketh away the substance of your father, and doth give to me.

Tako je Bog odvzel živino od vajinega očeta in jo dal meni.

10 'And it cometh to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up mine eyes and see in a dream, and lo, the he-goats, which are going up on the flock, [are] ring-streaked, speckled, and grisled;

Pripetilo se je ob času, ko se je živina obrejila, da sem povzdignil svoje oči in videl sanje in glej ovni, ki so skakali na živino, so bili krožno progasti, lisasti in sivi.

11 and the messenger of God saith unto me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here [am] I.

In Božji angel mi je v sanjah spregovoril, rekoč: ›Jakob.‹ Rekel sem: ›Tukaj sem.‹

12 'And He saith, Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see — all the he-goats which are going up on the flock [are] ring-streaked, speckled, and grisled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to thee;

Rekel je: ›Povzdigni torej svoje oči in poglej, vsi ovni, ki skačejo na živino, so krožno progasti, lisasti in sivi, kajti videl sem vse, kar ti je Labán storil.

13 I [am] the God of Bethel where thou hast anointed a standing pillar, where thou hast vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and turn back unto the land of thy birth.'

Jaz sem Bog Betela, kjer si mazilil steber in mi zaobljubil prisego. Sedaj vstani, pojdi ven iz te dežele in se vrni v deželo svojega sorodstva.‹«

14 And Rachel answereth — Leah also — and saith to him, 'Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?

Rahela in Lea sta mu odgovorili in rekli: » Ali je še kak delež ali dediščina za naju v hiši najinega očeta?

15 have we not been reckoned strangers to him? for he hath sold us, and he also utterly consumeth our money;

Ali nisva pri njem šteti [kakor] tujki? Kajti prodal naju je in popolnoma požrl tudi najin denar.

16 for all the wealth which God hath taken away from our father, it [is] ours, and our children's; and now, all that God hath said unto thee — do.'

Kajti vsa bogastva, ki jih je Bog vzel od najinega očeta, ta so najina in najinih otrok. Sedaj torej karkoli ti je Bog rekel, stôri.«

17 And Jacob riseth, and lifteth up his sons and his wives on the camels,

Potem je Jakob vstal in svoje sinove in svoji ženi posadil na kamele

18 and leadeth all his cattle, and all his substance which he hath acquired, the cattle of his getting, which he hath acquired in Padan-Aram, to go unto Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.

in odvedel proč vso svojo živino in vse svoje dobrine, ki jih je pridobil, živino od svojega zaslužka, ki jo je pridobil v Padan–aramu, da bi šel k svojemu očetu Izaku v kánaansko deželo.

19 And Laban hath gone to shear his flock, and Rachel stealeth the teraphim which her father hath;

Labán je odšel, da ostriže svoje ovce. Rahela pa je ukradla malike, ki so bili [od] njenega očeta.

20 and Jacob deceiveth the heart of Laban the Aramaean, because he hath not declared to him that he is fleeing;

Jakob se je nenadoma odtihotapil od Sirca Labána, v tem, da mu ni povedal, da je pobegnil.

21 and he fleeth, he and all that he hath, and riseth, and passeth over the River, and setteth his face [toward] the mount of Gilead.

Tako je pobegnil z vsem, kar je imel in vstal ter prečkal reko in svoje obličje nameril proti gori Gileád.

22 And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob hath fled,

Labánu je bilo tretji dan povedano, da je Jakob pobegnil.

23 and he taketh his brethren with him, and pursueth after him a journey of seven days, and overtaketh him in the mount of Gilead.

S seboj je vzel svoje brate in ga zasledoval sedem dni potovanja in dohiteli so ga na gori Gileád.

24 And God cometh in unto Laban the Aramaean in a dream of the night, and saith to him, 'Take heed to thyself lest thou speak with Jacob from good unto evil.'

Bog je prišel ponoči, v sanjah, k Sircu Labánu ter mu rekel: »Pazi, da Jakobu ne govoriš niti dobrega niti slabega.«

25 And Laban overtaketh Jacob; and Jacob hath fixed his tent in the mount; and Laban with his brethren have fixed [theirs] in the mount of Gilead.

Potem je Labán dohitel Jakoba. Torej Jakob je svoj šotor postavil na gori, Labán pa se je s svojimi brati utaboril na gori Gileád.

26 And Laban saith to Jacob, 'What hast thou done that thou dost deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives of the sword?

Labán je rekel Jakobu: »Kaj si storil, da si se nenadoma odtihotapil od mene in odvedel moji hčeri kakor ujetnici vzeti z mečem?

27 Why hast thou hidden thyself to flee, and deceivest me, and hast not declared to me, and I send thee away with joy and with songs, with tabret and with harp,

Zakaj si skrivaj pobegnil in se odtihotapil od mene in mi nisi povedal, da bi te lahko odposlal z veseljem in s pesmimi, z bobniči in s harfo?

28 and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? — now thou hast acted foolishly in doing [so];

Nisi mi dovolil, da poljubim svoje sinove in svoje hčere? To si torej s takšnim početjem storil nespametno.

29 my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your father yesternight hath spoken unto me, saying, Take heed to thyself from speaking with Jacob from good unto evil.

V moči moje roke je, da vam škodujem. Toda sinoči mi je govoril Bog tvojega očeta, rekoč: ›Pazi se, da Jakobu ne govoriš niti dobrega niti slabega.‹

30 'And now, thou hast certainly gone, because thou hast been very desirous for the house of thy father; why hast thou stolen my gods?'

In sedaj, čeprav imaš potrebo oditi, ker si že dolgo hrepenel po hiši svojega očeta, zakaj si vendar ukradel moje bogove?«

31 And Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, 'Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou take violently away thy daughters from me;

Jakob je odgovoril in Labánu rekel: »Ker sem se bal, kajti rekel sem: ›Morda mi hočeš s silo odvzeti svoji hčeri.‹

32 with whomsoever thou findest thy gods — he doth not live; before our brethren discern for thyself what [is] with me, and take to thyself:' and Jacob hath not known that Rachel hath stolen them.

Pri komerkoli najdeš svoje bogove, naj ta ne živi. Pred svojimi brati spoznaj kar je tvojega z menoj in to vzemi k sebi.« Kajti Jakob ni vedel, da jih je ukradla Rahela.

33 And Laban goeth into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and hath not found; and he goeth out from the tent of Leah, and goeth into the tent of Rachel.

Labán je odšel v Jakobov šotor in v Lein šotor in v šotore obeh dekel, toda ni jih našel. Potem je odšel od Leinega šotora in vstopil v Rahelin šotor.

34 And Rachel hath taken the teraphim, and putteth them in the furniture of the camel, and sitteth upon them; and Laban feeleth all the tent, and hath not found;

Torej Rahela je vzela družinske malike in jih položila na kamelino opravo in sedla nanje. Labán pa je preiskal ves šotor, toda ni jih našel.

35 and she saith unto her father, 'Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at thy presence, for the way of women [is] on me;' and he searcheth, and hath not found the teraphim.

Svojemu očetu pa je rekla: »Naj moj gospod ne bo razžaljen, da ne morem vstati pred teboj, kajti običaj žensk je nad menoj.« In iskal je, toda podob ni našel.

36 And it is displeasing to Jacob, and he striveth with Laban; and Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, 'What [is] my transgression? what my sin, that thou hast burned after me?

Jakob je bil ogorčen in se pričkal z Labánom in Jakob je odgovoril ter Labánu rekel: »Kaj je moj prekršek? Kaj je moj greh, da si me tako silovito zasledoval?

37 for thou hast felt all my vessels: what hast thou found of all the vessels of thy house? set here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and they decide between us both.

Glede na to, da si preiskal vse moje stvari, kaj si našel od vseh svojih družinskih stvari? Položi to tukaj pred mojimi brati in svojimi brati, da lahko sodijo med nama obema.

38 'These twenty years I [am] with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not miscarried, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten;

Teh dvajset let sem bil s teboj. Tvoje ovce in tvoje koze niso zavrgle svojih mladičev in ovnov tvojega tropa nisem jedel.

39 the torn I have not brought in unto thee — I, I repay it — from my hand thou dost seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived by night;

Tega, kar je bilo raztrganega od živali, nisem prinesel k tebi. Sam sem nosil to izgubo. Iz mojih rok si zahteval karkoli je bilo ukradenega podnevi ali ukradenega ponoči.

40 I have been [thus]: in the day consumed me hath drought, and frost by night, and wander doth my sleep from mine eyes.

Tak sem bil. Podnevi me je požirala suša in zmrzal ponoči in moje spanje je odšlo izpred mojih oči.

41 'This [is] to me twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou changest my hire ten times;

Tako sem bil dvajset let v tvoji hiši. Služil sem ti štirinajst let za tvoji hčeri in šest let za tvojo živino, ti pa si mi desetkrat spremenil moja plačila.

42 unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now empty thou hadst sent me away; mine affliction and the labour of my hands hath God seen, and reproveth yesternight.'

Razen če ne bi bil z menoj Bog mojega očeta, Abrahamov Bog in Izakov strah, bi me sedaj zagotovo odposlal praznega. Bog je videl mojo stisko in trud mojih rok in te je včerajšnjo noč oštel.«

43 And Laban answereth and saith unto Jacob, 'The daughters [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that thou art seeing [is] mine; and to my daughters — what do I to these to-day, or to their sons whom they have born?

Labán je odgovoril in Jakobu rekel: » Ti hčeri sta moji hčeri in ti otroci so moji otroci in ta živina je moja živina in vse, kar vidiš, je moje. In kaj naj danes storim tema svojima hčerama ali njunim otrokom, ki sta jih rodili?

44 and now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and it hath been for a witness between me and thee.'

Zdaj torej pridi, skleniva zavezo, ti in jaz; in naj bo to za pričo med menoj in teboj.«

45 And Jacob taketh a stone, and lifteth it up [for] a standing pillar;

Jakob je vzel kamen in ga postavil za steber.

46 and Jacob saith to his brethren, 'Gather stones,' and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;

Jakob je rekel svojim bratom: »Zberite kamne; « in vzeli so kamne ter naredili kup in jedli tam na kupu.

47 and Laban calleth it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob hath called it Galeed.

Labán ga je imenoval Jegár Sahadutá, toda Jakob ga je imenoval Galéd.

48 And Laban saith, 'This heap [is] witness between me and thee to-day;' therefore hath he called its name Galeed;

Labán je rekel: »Ta kup je danes priča med menoj in teboj.« Zato je bilo ime le-tega imenovano Galéd

49 Mizpah also, for he said, 'Jehovah doth watch between me and thee, for we are hidden one from another;

in Micpa, kajti rekel je: » Gospod gleda med menoj in teboj, ko smo odsotni eden od drugega.

50 if thou afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters — there is no man with us — see, God [is] witness between me and thee.'

Če boš prizadel moji hčeri ali če boš poleg mojih hčera vzel druge žene, ni z nama nobenega človeka. Glej, Bog je priča med menoj in teboj.«

51 And Laban saith to Jacob, 'Lo, this heap, and lo, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and thee;

Labán je rekel Jakobu: »Glej ta kup in glej ta steber, ki sem ga postavil med menoj in teboj.

52 this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap unto thee, and that thou dost not pass over this heap and this standing pillar unto me — for evil;

Ta kup naj bo priča in ta steber naj bo priča, da ne bom šel čez ta kup k tebi in da ne boš šel čez ta kup k meni zaradi škodovanja.

53 the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, doth judge between us — the God of their father,' and Jacob sweareth by the Fear of his father Isaac.

Bog Abrahamov in Bog Nahórjev, Bog njunega očeta, [naj] sodi med nama.« In Jakob je prisegel pri strahu svojega očeta Izaka.

54 And Jacob sacrificeth a sacrifice in the mount, and calleth to his brethren to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge in the mount;

Potem je Jakob na gori žrtvoval klavno daritev in poklical svoje brate, da jedo kruh. Jedli so kruh in se vso noč zadrževali na gori.

55 and Laban riseth early in the morning, and kisseth his sons and his daughters, and blesseth them; and Laban goeth on, and turneth back to his place.

Zgodaj zjutraj je Labán vstal, poljubil svoje sinove in svoje hčere ter jih blagoslovil in Labán je odpotoval ter se vrnil na svoj kraj.
