1 Мојсијева 28
1 Тада Исак дозва Јакова, и благослови га, и заповеди му и рече: Немој да се ожениш којом између кћери хананејских.
Isaac [Laughter] called Jacob [Supplanter], blessed him, and enjoined him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan [Humbled].
2 Устани, иди у Падан-Арам у дом Ватуила оца матере своје, и оданде се ожени између кћери Лавана ујака свог.
Arise, go to Paddan Aram [Elevated], to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban [White], 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,
May El Shaddai [God Almighty] bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
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 give you the blessing of Abraham [Father of a multitude], to you, and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham [Father of a multitude].”
5 Тако оправи Исак Јакова, и он пође у Падан-Арам к Лавану сину Ватуила Сирина, брату Ревеке матере Јаковљеве и Исавове.
Isaac [Laughter] sent Jacob [Supplanter] away. He went to Paddan Aram [Elevated] to Laban [White], son of Bethuel the Syrian, Rebekah [Securely bound]’s brother, Jacob [Supplanter]’s and Esau [Hairy]’s mother.
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,
Now Esau [Hairy] saw that Isaac [Laughter] had blessed Jacob [Supplanter] and sent him away to Paddan Aram [Elevated], to take him a wife from there, and as he blessed him, Issac [Laughter] enjoined these words to Esau [Hairy], saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan [Humbled],”
7 И где Јаков послуша оца свог и матер своју, и отиде у Падан-Арам;
and that Jacob [Supplanter] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram [Elevated].
8 И виде Исав да кћери хананејске нису по вољи Исаку оцу његовом.
Esau [Hairy] saw that the daughters of Canaan [Humbled] didn’t please Isaac [Laughter], his father.
9 Па отиде Исав к Исмаилу, и узе за жену преко жена својих Маелету, кћер Исмаила сина Аврамовог, сестру Навеотову.
Esau [Hairy] went to Ishmael [Pays attention God], and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael [Pays attention God], Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
10 А Јаков отиде од Вирсавеје идући у Харан.
Jacob [Supplanter] went out from Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath], and went toward Haran [Mountaineer].
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.
He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 И усни, а то лестве стајаху на земљи а врхом тицаху у небо, и гле, анђели Божји по њима се пењаху и силажаху;
He dreamed. Behold, a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God ascending and descending 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;
Behold, Adonai stood above it, and said, “I am Adonai, the God of Abraham [Father of a multitude] your father, and the God of Isaac [Laughter]. The land whereon you lie, to you will I give it, and to your offspring.
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.
Your offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring will all the families 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.
Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.”
16 А кад се Јаков пробуди од сна, рече: Зацело је Господ на овом месту; а ја не знах.
Jacob [Supplanter] awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Adonai is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”
17 И уплаши се, и рече: Како је страшно место ово! Овде је доиста кућа Божја, и ово су врата небеска.
He was afraid, and said, “How dreadful is this place! This is none other than God’s house, 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.
Jacob [Supplanter] rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on its top.
19 И прозва оно место Ветиљ, а пре беше име оном граду Луз.
He called the name of that place Beth-el [House of God], but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
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,
Jacob [Supplanter] vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
21 И ако се вратим на миру у дом оца свог, Господ ће ми бити Бог;
so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and Adonai will be my God,
22 А камен овај који утврдих за спомен биће дом Божји; и шта ми год даш, од свега ћу десето дати Теби.
then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”
