Genesis 31

1 He heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, "Jacob has taken away all that was our father's. From that which was our father's he has gained all this wealth."

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 Jacob saw the expression on Laban's face, and look, it was not as it had been.

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

3 Then God said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you."

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

4 Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flock was,

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

5 and said to them, "I see the expression on your father's face, that it is not what it was before. But the God of my father has 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 You know that I have served your father with all of my strength.

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

7 Yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt 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 said this, 'The speckled will be your wages,' then all the flock bore speckled. If he said this, 'The streaked will be your wages,' then all the flock bore 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 Thus God has taken away your father's livestock and given them to me.

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

10 And it came about at the time when the flocks were breeding I looked up and saw in a dream, and look, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and spotted.

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

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

12 He said, 'Now lift up your eyes, and look, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and spotted, for I have seen all that Laban has done to you.

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 you anointed a standing-stone, where you made a vow to me. Now arise, go out from this land and return to the land of your 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 Rachel and Leah answered him, "Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

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

15 Aren't we regarded by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and he has used up what was paid for us.

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

16 For all the wealth which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to you, 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 Then Jacob got up and put his sons and his wives on the camels,

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

18 and he took away all his livestock and all his property which he had acquired, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father in 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 Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole the idols that belonged to her father.

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

20 Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he intended to flee.

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

21 So he fled with everything that he had, and he arose and crossed the River, and set out toward the hill country of Gilead.

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

22 Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.

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

23 He took his relatives with him, and pursued after him for seven days, and caught up with him in the hill country of Gilead.

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

24 God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night, and said to him, "Be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad."

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

25 Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his relatives camped in the hill country 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 Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done? You have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives taken in war?

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 did you flee in secret and deceive me, and not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with joy and singing, with a tambourine and with a lyre.

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 you did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly.

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

29 It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, 'Be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad.'

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 Now you have indeed gone away, because you longed greatly for your father's house. But why have you 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 Jacob answered Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.'

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

32 Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. In the presence of our relatives, identify what I have that is yours, and take it with you." For Jacob did not know that Rachel had 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 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.

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

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 She said to her father, "Do not let my lord be angry that I can't rise up before you; for the manner of women is on me." He searched, but did not find 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 Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, "What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued 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 Now that you have searched around in all my stuff, did you find anything from all of your household's belongings? Put it here before my relatives and your relatives, that they may judge between the two of us.

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 have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried their young, and I haven't eaten the rams of your flocks.

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

39 That which was torn by animals I did not bring to you. I bore its loss. You demanded payment from me whether stolen by day or stolen 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 was consumed by the heat during the day and by the frost at night, and sleepless nights.

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

41 These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages 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 one whom Isaac fears, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my harsh treatment and my hard work, and rebuked you last night."

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 Laban answered Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine: and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne?

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 So now, come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between the two of us." And he said to him, "Look, there is no one with us; see, God is witness between me and you."

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

45 Jacob took a stone and set it up as a standing-stone.

Jakob je vzel kamen in ga postavil za steber.

46 Jacob said to his relatives, "Gather stones." So they took stones and made a mound. They ate there by the mound.

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

47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.

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

48 Laban said, "This mound is a witness between me and you today." Therefore it was named Galeed

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

49 and Mizpah, for he said, "God watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.

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

50 If you mistreat my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no one is with us; see, God is witness between me and you."

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 Laban said to Jacob, "See this mound, and see the standing-stone, which I have set between me and you.

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

52 May this mound be a witness, and the standing-stone be a witness, that I will not pass over this mound to you, and that you will not pass over this mound and this standing-stone to me, to do harm.

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, the God of their father, judge between us." Then Jacob swore 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 Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his relatives to eat the meal. They ate the meal and stayed all night on the mountain.

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 Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned 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.
