< 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.
Jacob heard Laban’s sons’ words, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s. He has obtained all this wealth from that which was our father’s.”
2 I vidje Jakov gdje lice Lavanovo nije prema njemu kao prije.
Jacob saw the expression on Laban’s face, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
3 I Gospod reèe Jakovu: vrati se u zemlju otaca svojih i u rod svoj, i ja æu biti s tobom.
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 the expression on your father’s face, that it is not toward me as before; 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 I have served your father with all of my strength.
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 didn’t allow 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 will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore speckled. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore streaked.
9 Tako Bog uze stoku ocu vašemu i dade je meni;
Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock, 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.
During mating season, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
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,’ and 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, ‘Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does 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 vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from 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 him, “Is there yet 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.
Aren’t we considered as foreigners by him? For he has sold us, and has also used up 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 which God has taken away from our father are ours and our children’s. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do.”
17 I podiže se Jakov, i metnu djecu svoju i žene svoje na kamile;
Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on 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.
and he took away all his livestock, and all his possessions which he had gathered, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.
19 A Lavan bješe otišao da striže ovce svoje; i Rahilja ukrade idole ocu svojemu.
Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father’s.
20 I Jakov otide kradom od Lavana Sirina ne javivši mu da hoæe da ide.
Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he was running away.
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. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
22 A treæi dan javiše Lavanu da je pobjegao Jakov.
Laban was told on the third day 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.
He took his relatives with him, and pursued him seven days’ journey. He overtook him in the mountain 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.
God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or 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 caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped in the mountain 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 have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of 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 did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;
28 Niti mi dade da izljubim sinove svoje i kæeri svoje? ludo si radio.
and didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now have you 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 the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.’
30 Idi dakle kad si se tako uželio kuæe oca svojega; ali zašto ukrade bogove moje?
Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, but why have you stolen my gods?”
31 A Jakov odgovori i reèe: bojah se i mišljah: hoæeš silom oteti kæeri svoje od mene.
Jacob answered Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, ‘Lest you should take your daughters from me 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.
Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it.” For Jacob didn’t 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 didn’t 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 teraphim, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt around all the tent, but didn’t 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, “Don’t let my lord be angry that I can’t rise up before you; for I’m having my period.” He searched, but didn’t find the teraphim.
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. Jacob answered Laban, “What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have 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.
Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my relatives and your relatives, 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.
“These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young, and I haven’t eaten the rams of 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.
That which was torn of animals, I didn’t bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
40 Danju me ubijaše vruæina a noæu mraz; i san mi ne padaše na oèi.
This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled 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.
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.
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 fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and 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 Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine! 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.
Now come, let’s make a covenant, you and I. Let it be for a witness between me and you.”
45 I Jakov uze kamen i utvrdi ga za spomen.
Jacob took a stone, and set it up for 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.” They took stones, and made a heap. They ate there by the heap.
47 I Lavan ga nazva Jegar-Sahadut, a Jakov ga nazva Galed.
Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, 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 heap is witness between me and you today.” Therefore it was named Galeed
49 A prozva se i Mispa, jer reèe Lavan: neka Gospod gleda izmeðu mene i tebe, kad ne uzmožemo vidjeti jedan drugoga.
and Mizpah, for he said, “Yahweh watch between me and you, when we are absent 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 afflict my daughters, or if you take wives in addition to my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.”
51 I još reèe Lavan Jakovu: gledaj ovu gomilu i gledaj ovaj spomenik, koji podigoh izmeðu sebe i tebe.
Laban said to Jacob, “See this heap, and see the pillar, which I have set between me and you.
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.
May this heap be a witness, and the pillar be a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
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 Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” Then 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 in the mountain, and called his relatives to eat bread. They ate bread, and stayed all night in 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 rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place.
