Postanak 31

1 A Jakov èu gdje sinovi Lavanovi govore: Jakov uze sve što bješe našega oca, i od onoga što bješe našega oca steèe sve ovo blago.

But after that he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying: Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s, and being enriched by his substance is become great:

2 I vidje Jakov gdje lice Lavanovo nije prema njemu kao prije.

And perceiving also that Laban’s countenance was not towards him as yesterday and the other day,

3 I Gospod reèe Jakovu: vrati se u zemlju otaca svojih i u rod svoj, i ja æu biti s tobom.

Especially the Lord saying to him: Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee.

4 I poslav Jakov dozva Rahilju i Liju u polje k stadu svojemu.

He sent, and called Rachel and Lia into the field, where he fed the flocks,

5 I reèe im: vidim gdje lice oca vašega nije prema meni kao prije; ali je Bog oca mojega bio sa mnom.

And said to them: I see your father’s countenance is not towards me as yesterday and the other day: but the God of my father hath been with me.

6 I vi znate da sam služio ocu vašemu kako sam god mogao;

And you know that I have served your father to the uttermost of my power.

7 A otac me je vaš varao i mijenjao mi platu deset puta; ali mu Bog ne dade da me ošteti;

Yea, your father also hath overreached me, and hath changed my wages ten times: and yet God hath not suffered him to hurt me.

8 Kad on reèe: što bude šareno neka ti je plata, onda se mladilo sve šareno; a kad reèe: s biljegom što bude neka ti je plata, onda se mladilo sve s biljegom.

If at any time he said: The speckled shall be thy wages: all the sheep brought forth speckled: but when he said on the contrary: Thou shalt take all the white ones for thy wages: all the flocks brought forth white ones.

9 Tako Bog uze stoku ocu vašemu i dade je meni;

And God hath taken your father’s substance, and given it to me.

10 Jer kad se upaljivaše stoka, podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh u snu, a to ovnovi i jarci što skaèu na ovce i koze bijahu šareni, s biljegama prutastim i kolastim.

For after that time came of the ewes conceiving, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in my sleep that the males which leaped upon the females were of divers colours, and spotted, and speckled.

11 A anðeo Gospodnji reèe mi u snu: Jakove! A ja odgovorih: evo me.

And the angel of God said to me in my sleep: Jacob? And I answered: Here I am.

12 A on reèe: podigni sad oèi svoje i gledaj, ovnovi i jarci što skaèu na ovce i koze, šareni su, s biljegama prutastim i kolastim; jer vidjeh sve što ti èini Lavan.

And he said: Lift up thy eyes, and see that all the males leaping upon the females, are of divers colours, spotted, and speckled. For I have seen all that Laban hath done to thee.

13 Ja sam Bog od Vetilja, gdje si prelio kamen i uèinio mi zavjet; ustani sada i idi iz ove zemlje, i vrati se na postojbinu svoju.

I am the God of Bethel, where thou didst anoint the stone, and make a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and go out of this land, and return into thy native country.

14 Tada odgovori Rahilja i Lija, i rekoše mu: eda li još imamo kakav dio i našljedstvo u domu oca svojega?

And Rachel and Lia answered: Have we any thing left among the goods and inheritance of our father’s house?

15 Nije li nas držao kao tuðinke kad nas je prodao? pa je još i naše novce jednako jeo.

Hath he not counted us as strangers and sold us, and eaten up the price of us?

16 Jer sve ovo blago što uze Gospod ocu našemu, naše je i naše djece. Zato èini sve što ti je Gospod kazao.

But God hath taken our father’s riches, and delivered them to us, and to our children: wherefore do all that God hath commanded thee.

17 I podiže se Jakov, i metnu djecu svoju i žene svoje na kamile;

Then Jacob rose up, and having set his children and wives upon camels, went his way.

18 I odvede svu stoku svoju i sve blago što bješe stekao, stoku koju bješe stekao u Padan-Aramu, i poðe k Isaku ocu svojemu u zemlju Hanansku.

And he took all his substance, and flocks, and whatsoever he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac his father to the land of Chanaan.

19 A Lavan bješe otišao da striže ovce svoje; i Rahilja ukrade idole ocu svojemu.

At that time Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole away her father’s idols.

20 I Jakov otide kradom od Lavana Sirina ne javivši mu da hoæe da ide.

And Jacob would not confess to his father in law that he was flying away.

21 I pobježe sa svijem blagom svojim, i podiže se te prijeðe preko vode, i uputi se ka gori Galadu.

And when he was gone, together with all that belonged to him, and having passed the river, was going on towards mount Galaad,

22 A treæi dan javiše Lavanu da je pobjegao Jakov.

It was told Laban on the third day that Jacob fled.

23 I uze sa sobom braæu svoju, i poðe za njim u potjeru, i za sedam dana stiže ga na gori Galadu.

And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days; and overtook him in the mount of Galaad.

24 Ali Bog doðe Lavanu Sirinu noæu u snu, i reèe mu: èuvaj se da ne govoriš s Jakovom ni lijepo ni ružno.

And he saw in a dream God saying to him: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.

25 I stiže Lavan Jakova; a Jakov bješe razapeo šator svoj na gori, pa i Lavan takoðer razape svoj s braæom svojom na gori Galadu.

Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and when he with his brethren had overtaken him, he pitched his tent in the same mount of Galaad.

26 I Lavan reèe Jakovu: šta uèini te kradom pobježe od mene i odvede kæeri moje kao na maè otete?

And he said to Jacob: Why hast thou done thus, to carry away, without my knowledge, my daughters, as captives taken with the sword.

27 Zašto tajno pobježe i kradom otide od mene? niti mi reèe da te ispratim s veseljem i s pjesmama, s bubnjima i guslama?

Why wouldst thou run away privately and not acquaint me, that I might have brought thee on the way with joy, and with songs, and with timbrels, and with harps?

28 Niti mi dade da izljubim sinove svoje i kæeri svoje? ludo si radio.

Thou hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and daughters: thou hast done foolishly: and now, indeed,

29 Mogao bih vam dosaditi; ali Bog oca vašega noæas mi reèe govoreæi: èuvaj se da ne govoriš s Jakovom ni lijepo ni ružno.

It is in my power to return thee evil: but the God of your father said to me yesterday: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.

30 Idi dakle kad si se tako uželio kuæe oca svojega; ali zašto ukrade bogove moje?

Suppose thou didst desire to go to thy friends, and hadst a longing after thy father’s house: why hast thou stolen away my gods?

31 A Jakov odgovori i reèe: bojah se i mišljah: hoæeš silom oteti kæeri svoje od mene.

Jacob answered: That I departed unknown to thee, it was for fear lest thou wouldst take away thy daughters by force.

32 A bogove svoje u koga naðeš, onaj neka ne živi više; pred našom braæom traži što je tvoje u mene, pa uzmi. Jer Jakov nije znao da ih je ukrala Rahilja.

But whereas thou chargest me with theft: with whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, let him be slain before our brethren. Search, and if thou find any of thy things with me, take them away. Now when he said this, he knew not that Rachel had stolen the idols.

33 I uðe Lavan u šator Jakovljev i u šator Lijin i u šator dviju robinja, i ne naðe ih; i izašav iz šatora Lijina uðe u šator Rahiljin.

So Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and of Lia, and of both the handmaids, and found them not. And when he was entered into Rachel’s tent,

34 A Rahilja uze idole i sakri ih pod samar kamile svoje i sjede ozgo; i Lavan pipaše po cijelom šatoru, i ne naðe.

She in haste hid the idols under the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them: and when he had searched all the tent, and found nothing,

35 A ona reèe ocu svojemu: nemoj se srditi, gospodaru, što ti ne mogu ustati, jer mi je što u žena biva. Traživ dakle ne naðe idola svojih.

She said: Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, because it has now happened to me, according to the custom of women, So his careful search was in vain.

36 I Jakov se rasrdi, i stade koriti Lavana, i govoreæi reèe mu: šta sam uèinio, šta sam skrivio, te si me tako žestoko tjerao?

And Jacob being angry, said in a chiding manner: For what fault of mine, and for what offence on my part hast thou so hotly pursued me,

37 Pipao si sav prtljag moj, pa šta si našao iz svoje kuæe? daj ovamo pred moju i svoju braæu, neka rasude izmeðu nas dvojice.

And searched all my household stuff? What hast thou found of all the substance of thy house? lay it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and let them judge between me and thee.

38 Evo dvadeset godina bijah kod tebe: ovce tvoje i koze tvoje ne jaloviše se, a ovnova iz stada tvojega ne jedoh.

Have I therefore been with thee twenty years? thy ewes and goats were not barren, the rams of thy flocks I did not eat:

39 Što bi zvijerje zaklalo nijesam ti donosio, sam sam podmirivao; od mene si iskao što bi mi bilo ukradeno danju ili noæu.

Neither did I show thee that which the beast had torn, I made good all the damage: whatsoever was lost by theft, thou didst exact it of me:

40 Danju me ubijaše vruæina a noæu mraz; i san mi ne padaše na oèi.

Day and night was I parched with heat, and with frost, and sleep departed from my eyes.

41 Tako mi je bilo dvadeset godina u tvojoj kuæi; služio sam ti èetrnaest godina za dvije kæeri tvoje i šest godina za stoku tvoju, i platu si mi mijenjao deset puta.

And in this manner have I served thee in thy house twenty years, fourteen for thy daughters, and six for thy flocks: thou hast changed also my wages ten times.

42 Da nije Bog oca mojega, Bog Avramov, i strah Isakov bio sa mnom, bi me zacijelo otpustio prazna. Ali je Bog vidio nevolju moju i trud ruku mojih, pa te ukori noæas.

Unless the God of my father Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had stood by me, peradventure now thou hadst sent me away naked: God beheld my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday.

43 A Lavan odgovori Jakovu i reèe: ove su kæeri moje kæeri, i ovi su sinovi moji sinovi, i ova stoka moja stoka, i što god vidiš sve je moje; pa šta bih uèinio danas kæerima svojim ili sinovima njihovijem koje rodiše?

Laban answered him: The daughters are mine and the children, and thy flocks, and all things that thou seest are mine: what can I do to my children, and grandchildren?

44 Nego hajde da uhvatimo vjeru, ja i ti, da bude svjedoèanstvo izmeðu mene i tebe.

Come therefore, let us enter into a league: that it may be for a testimony between me and thee.

45 I Jakov uze kamen i utvrdi ga za spomen.

And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a title:

46 I reèe Jakov braæi svojoj: nakupite kamenja. I nakupiše kamenja i složiše na gomilu, i jedoše na gomili.

And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they gathering stones together, made a heap, and they ate upon it.

47 I Lavan ga nazva Jegar-Sahadut, a Jakov ga nazva Galed.

And Laban called it The witness heap: and Jacob, The hillock of testimony: each of them according to the propriety of his language.

48 I reèe Lavan: ova gomila neka bude svjedok izmeðu mene i tebe danas. Zato se prozva Galed.

And Laban said: This heap shall be a witness between me and thee this day, and therefore the name thereof was called Galaad, that is, The witness heap.

49 A prozva se i Mispa, jer reèe Lavan: neka Gospod gleda izmeðu mene i tebe, kad ne uzmožemo vidjeti jedan drugoga.

The Lord behold and judge between us when we shall be gone one from the other.

50 Ako ucvijeliš kæeri moje i ako uzmeš žene preko mojih kæeri, neæe èovjek biti izmeðu nas, nego gle Bog svjedok izmeðu mene i tebe.

If thou afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wives over them: none is witness of our speech but God, who is present and beholdeth.

51 I još reèe Lavan Jakovu: gledaj ovu gomilu i gledaj ovaj spomenik, koji podigoh izmeðu sebe i tebe.

And he said again to Jacob: Behold, this heap, and the stone which I have set up between me and thee,

52 Svjedok je ova gomila i svjedok je ovaj spomenik: da ni ja neæu prijeæi preko ove gomile k tebi ni ti k meni da neæeš prijeæi preko ove gomile i spomenika ovoga na zlo.

Shall be a witness: this heap, I say, and the stone, be they for a testimony, if either I shall pass beyond it going towards thee, or thou shalt pass beyond it, thinking harm to me.

53 Bog Avramov i bogovi Nahorovi, bogovi oca njihova, neka sude meðu nama. A Jakov se zakle strahom oca svojega Isaka.

The God of Abraham, and the God of Nachor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.

54 I Jakov prinese žrtvu na gori, i sazva braæu svoju na veèeru; i jedoše pa noæiše na gori.

And after he had offered sacrifices in the mountain, he called his brethren to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there:

55 A ujutru rano usta Lavan, i izljubi svoju unuèad i kæeri svoje, i blagoslovi ih, pa otide i vrati se u svoje mjesto.

But Laban arose in the night, and kissed his sons, and daughters, and blessed them: and returned to his place.
