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.

Now Jacob heard the words of Laban's sons, that they said, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and it is from our father's possessions that he has gotten all this wealth.”

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

Jacob saw the look on Laban's face. He saw that his attitude toward him had changed.

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

Then Yahweh said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”

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

Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock

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 attitude toward me has changed, but the God of my father has been with me.

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

You know that it is with all my strength that I have served your father.

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

Your father has deceived me and changed my wages ten times, but God has not permitted 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 he said, 'The speckled animals will be your wages,' then all the flock bore speckled young. If he said, 'The striped will be your wages,' then the whole flock bore striped young.

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

In this way God has taken away the livestock of your father and given them 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.

Once at the time of breeding season, I saw in a dream the male goats that were mating with the flock. The male goats were striped, speckled, and spotted.

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

The angel of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob.' I said, '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.

He said, 'Lift up your eyes and see all the male goats that are breeding with the flock. They are striped, speckled, and spotted, for I have seen everything that Laban is doing to you.

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 you anointed a pillar, where you made a vow to me. Now rise up and leave this land and return to the land of your birth.'”

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

Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, “Is there any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

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

Are we not treated by him as foreigners? For he has sold us and has also completely devoured our money.

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

For all the riches that God has taken away from our father are now ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do it.”

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

Then Jacob arose and placed his sons and his wives upon the camels.

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.

He drove all his livestock ahead of him, along with all his property, including the livestock he had acquired in Paddan Aram. Then he set out to go to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.

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

When Laban had gone to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her father's household gods.

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

Jacob also deceived Laban the Aramean, by not telling him that he was leaving.

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

So he fled with all that he had and quickly passed over the River, and headed toward the hill country of Gilead.

22 A treæi dan javiše Lavanu da je pobjegao Jakov.

On the third day Laban was told that Jacob had fled.

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

So he took his relatives with him and pursued him for a seven days' journey. He overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.

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

Now God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and said to him, “Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.”

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.

Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country. Laban also camped with his relatives in the hill country of Gilead.

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

Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you deceived me and carried away my daughters like prisoners of war?

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 did you flee secretly and trick me and did not tell me? I would have sent you away with celebration and with songs, with tambourine and with harps.

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

You did not allow me to kiss my grandsons and my daughters good bye. Now you have done foolishly.

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 do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night and said, 'Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.'

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

Now you have gone away because you longed to return to your father's house. But why did you steal my gods?”

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

Jacob answered and said to Laban, “Because I was afraid and thought that you would take your daughters from me by force I left secretly.

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.

Whoever has stolen your gods will not continue to live. In the presence of our relatives, identify whatever with me is yours and take it.” For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.

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.

Laban went into Jacob's tent, into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two female servants, but he did not find them. He went out of Leah's tent and 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.

Now Rachel had taken the household gods, put them in a camel's saddle, and sat upon them. Laban searched the whole tent, but did not find them.

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 to her father, “Do not be angry, my master, that I cannot stand up before you, for I am having my period.” So he searched but did not find his household gods.

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?

Jacob was angry and argued with Laban. He said to him, “What is my offense? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued after 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.

For you have searched all my possessions. What have you found of all your household goods? Set them here before our relatives, so that they may judge between us two.

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

For twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten any rams from your flocks.

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

What was torn by beasts I did not bring to you. Instead, I bore the loss of it. You always made me pay for every missing animal, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

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

There I was; in the day the heat consumed me, and the frost by night; and I went without sleep.

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.

These twenty years I have been in your household. I worked for you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock. You have changed 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, the God of Abraham, and the one Isaac fears, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my oppression and how hard I worked, and he rebuked you last night.”

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 and said to Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the grandchildren are my grandchildren, and the flocks are my flocks. All that you see is mine. But what can I do today to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne?

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

So now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be for a witness between you and me.”

45 I Jakov uze kamen i utvrdi ga za spomen.

So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar.

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

Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” So they took stones and made a pile. Then they ate there by the pile.

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

Laban called it Jegar Saha Dutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.

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

Laban said, “This pile is a witness between me and you today.” Therefore its name was called Galeed.

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

It is also called Mizpah, because Laban said, “May Yahweh watch between you and me, when we are out of sight one from another.

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 you mistreat my daughters, or if you take any wives besides my daughters, although no one else is with us, see, God is witness between you and me.”

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

Laban said to Jacob, “Look at this pile, and look at the pillar, which I have set between you and me.

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.

This pile is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass beyond this pile to you, and that you will not pass beyond this pile and this pillar to me, to do harm.

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

May the God of Abraham, and the god of Nahor, the gods of their father, judge between us.” 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.

Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and called his relatives to eat a meal. They ate and spent the entire night on the mountain.

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

Early in the morning Laban got up, kissed his grandsons and his daughters and blessed them. Then Laban left and returned home.
