1 Мојсијева 28
1 Тада Исак дозва Јакова, и благослови га, и заповеди му и рече: Немој да се ожениш којом између кћери хананејских.
And Isaac having called for Jacob, blessed him, and charged him, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites.
2 Устани, иди у Падан-Арам у дом Ватуила оца матере своје, и оданде се ожени између кћери Лавана ујака свог.
Rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia, to the house of Bathuel the father of your mother, and take to yourself thence a wife of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.
3 А Бог Свемогући да те благослови, и да ти да велику породицу и умножи те, да од тебе постане мноштво народа,
And may my God bless you, and increase you, and multiply you, and you shall become gatherings of nations.
4 И да ти да благослов Аврамов, теби и семену твом с тобом, да наследиш земљу у којој си дошљак, коју Бог даде Авраму.
And may he give you the blessing of my father Abraam, even to you and to your seed after you, to inherit the land of your sojourning, which God gave to Abraam.
5 Тако оправи Исак Јакова, и он пође у Падан-Арам к Лавану сину Ватуила Сирина, брату Ревеке матере Јаковљеве и Исавове.
So Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went into Mesopotamia to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca the mother of Jacob and Esau.
6 А Исав виде где Исак благослови Јакова и оправи га у Падан-Арам да се оданде ожени, и где благосиљајући га заповеди му и рече: Немој да се ожениш којом између кћери хананејских,
And Esau saw that Isaac blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Mesopotamia of Syria as he blessed him, to take to himself a wife thence, and [that] he charged him, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites;
7 И где Јаков послуша оца свог и матер своју, и отиде у Падан-Арам;
and [that] Jacob listened to his father and his mother, and went to Mesopotamia of Syria.
8 И виде Исав да кћери хананејске нису по вољи Исаку оцу његовом.
And Esau also having seen that the daughters of Chanaan were evil before his father Isaac,
9 Па отиде Исав к Исмаилу, и узе за жену преко жена својих Маелету, кћер Исмаила сина Аврамовог, сестру Навеотову.
Esau went to Ismael, and took Maeleth the daughter of Ismael, the son of Abraam, the sister of Nabeoth, a wife in addition to his [other] wives.
10 А Јаков отиде од Вирсавеје идући у Харан.
And Jacob went forth from the well of the oath, and departed into Charrhan.
11 И дође на једно место, и онде заноћи, јер сунце беше зашло; и узе камен на оном месту, и метну га себи под главу, и заспа на оном месту.
And came to a certain place and slept there, for the sun had gone down; and he took [one] of the stones of the place, and put it at his head, and lay down to sleep in that place,
12 И усни, а то лестве стајаху на земљи а врхом тицаху у небо, и гле, анђели Божји по њима се пењаху и силажаху;
and dreamed, and behold a ladder fixed on the earth, whose top reached to heaven, and the angels of God ascended and descended on it.
13 И гле, на врху стајаше Господ, и рече: Ја сам Господ Бог Аврама оца твог и Бог Исаков; ту земљу на којој спаваш теби ћу дати и семену твом;
And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of your father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed.
14 И семена ће твог бити као праха на земљи, те ћеш се раширити на запад и на исток и на север и на југ, и сви народи на земљи благословиће се у теби и у семену твом.
And your seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in you and in your seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.
15 И ево, ја сам с тобом, и чуваћу те куда год пођеш, и довешћу те натраг у ову земљу, јер те нећу оставити докле год не учиним шта ти рекох.
And behold I am with you to preserve you continually in all the way wherein you shall go; and I will bring you back to this land; for I will not desert you, until I have done all that I have said to you.
16 А кад се Јаков пробуди од сна, рече: Зацело је Господ на овом месту; а ја не знах.
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.
17 И уплаши се, и рече: Како је страшно место ово! Овде је доиста кућа Божја, и ово су врата небеска.
And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
18 И уста Јаков ујутру рано, и узе камен што беше метнуо себи под главу, и утврди га за спомен и прели га уљем.
And Jacob rose up in the morning, and took the stone he [had] laid there by his head, and he set it up [as] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
19 И прозва оно место Ветиљ, а пре беше име оном граду Луз.
And he called the name of that place, the House of God; and the name of the city before was Ulam-luz.
20 И учини Јаков завет, говорећи: Ако Бог буде са мном и сачува ме на путу којим идем и да ми хлеба да једем и одела да се облачим,
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If the Lord God will be with me, and guard me throughout on this journey, on which I am going, and give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 И ако се вратим на миру у дом оца свог, Господ ће ми бити Бог;
and bring me back in safety to the house of my father, then shall the Lord be for a God to me.
22 А камен овај који утврдих за спомен биће дом Божји; и шта ми год даш, од свега ћу десето дати Теби.
And this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be to me a house of God; and of all whatever you shall give me, I will tithe a tenth for you.
