Genesis 28
1 And so Isaac called for Jacob, and he blessed him, and he instructed him, saying: “Do not be willing to accept a mate from the family of Canaan.
Izak je poklical Jakoba, ga blagoslovil, mu naročil ter mu rekel: »Ne boš si vzel žene izmed Kánaanovih hčera.
2 But go, and journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father, and there accept for yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban, your maternal uncle.
Vstani, pojdi v Padan–aram, k hiši Betuéla, očeta tvoje matere in od tam si vzemi ženo izmed hčera Labána, brata tvoje matere.
3 And may God almighty bless you, and may he cause you to increase and also to multiply, so that you may be influential among the people.
Bog Vsemogočni naj te blagoslovi in te naredi rodovitnega in te namnoži, da boš lahko postal množica ljudstva
4 And may he give the blessings of Abraham to you, and to your offspring after you, so that you may possess the land of your sojourning, which he promised to your grandfather.”
in ti da Abrahamov blagoslov, tebi in tvojemu semenu s teboj, da boš lahko podedoval deželo, v kateri si tujec, ki jo je Bog dal Abrahamu.«
5 And when Isaac had dismissed him, setting out, he went to Mesopotamia of Syria, to Laban, the son of Bethuel, the Syrian, the brother to Rebekah, his mother.
Izak je odposlal Jakoba in ta je odšel v Padan–aram, k Labánu, sinu Sirca Betuéla, brata Jakobove in Ezavove matere Rebeke.
6 But Esau, seeing that his father had blessed Jacob and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to take a wife from there, and that, after the blessing, he had instructed him, saying: ‘You shall not accept a wife from the daughters of Canaan,’
Ko je Ezav videl, da je Izak blagoslovil Jakoba in ga odposlal v Padan–aram, da si od tam vzame ženo in da mu je med blagoslovom dal naročilo, rekoč: »Ne boš si vzel žene izmed Kánaanovih hčera, «
7 and that Jacob, obeying his parents, had gone into Syria,
in da je Jakob ubogal svojega očeta in svojo mater ter odšel v Padan–aram,
8 having evidence also that his father did not look with favor upon the daughters of Canaan,
je Ezav videl, da Kánaanove hčere njegovemu očetu Izaku niso ugajale
9 he went to Ishmael, and he took as a wife, beside those he had before, Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth.
in je Ezav potem odšel k Izmaelu in si k ženama, ki ju je imel, vzel Mahaláto, hčer Abrahamovega sina Izmaela, Nebajótovo sestro, da postane njegova žena.
10 Meanwhile Jacob, having departed from Beersheba, continued on to Haran.
Jakob pa je odšel iz Beeršébe in odšel proti Haránu.
11 And when he had arrived at a certain place, where he would rest after the setting of the sun, he took some of the stones that lay there, and placing them under his head, he slept in the same place.
Ker pa je sonce zašlo, se je spustil na nek kraj in se tam vso noč zadrževal in vzel je kamne tega kraja in jih položil za svoje blazine in se ulegel na ta kraj, da zaspi.
12 And he saw in his sleep: a ladder standing upon the earth, with its top touching heaven, also, the Angels of God ascending and descending by it,
Sanjal je in glej lestev, postavljeno na zemljo in njen vrh je segal do nebes. In glej, Božji angeli so se vzpenjali in spuščali po njej.
13 and the Lord, leaning upon the ladder, saying to him: “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land, in which you sleep, I will give to you and to your offspring.
In glej, Gospod je stal nad njo ter rekel: »Jaz sem Gospod, Bog tvojega očeta Abrahama in Izakov Bog. Deželo, na kateri ležiš, bom dal tebi in tvojemu semenu.
14 And your offspring will be like the dust of the earth. You will spread abroad to the West, and to the East, and to the North, and to the Meridian. And in you and in your offspring, all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed.
Tvojega semena bo kakor zemeljskega prahu in razširjen boš na zahod, na vzhod, na sever in na jug. In v tebi in v tvojem semenu bodo blagoslovljene vse družine zemlje.
15 And I will be your guardian wherever you will journey, and I will bring you back into this land. Neither will I dismiss you, until I have accomplished all that I have said.”
Glej, jaz sem s teboj in varoval te bom na vseh krajih, kamor greš in ponovno te bom privedel v to deželo, kajti ne bom te zapustil, dokler ne storim tega, o čemer sem ti govoril.«
16 And when Jacob had awakened from sleep, he said, “Truly, the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.”
Jakob se je zbudil iz svojega spanja in rekel: »Zagotovo je na tem kraju Gospod, jaz pa tega nisem vedel.«
17 And being terrified, he said: “How terrible this place is! This is nothing other than the house of God and the gateway of heaven.”
Bil je prestrašen in rekel: »Kako grozen je ta kraj! To ni nič drugega kakor Božja hiša in to so velika nebeška vrata.«
18 Therefore, Jacob, arising in the morning, took the stone which he had placed under his head, and he set it up as monument, pouring oil over it.
Jakob je zgodaj zjutraj vstal in vzel kamen, ki ga je podstavil za svoje blazine in ga postavil za steber in nanj, na njegov vrh, izlil olje.
19 And he called the name of the city, ‘Bethel,’ which before was called Luz.
Ime tega kraja je imenoval Betel, toda ime tega kraja je bilo najprej imenovano Luz.
20 And then he made a vow, saying: “If God will be with me, and will guard me along the way by which I walk, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,
Jakob se je zaobljubil, rekoč: »Če bo Bog z menoj in me bo varoval na tej poti, ki jo hodim in mi bo dal za jesti kruha in oblačilo, da ga oblečem,
21 and if I will return prosperously to my father’s house, then the Lord will be my God,
tako da ponovno v miru pridem k hiši svojega očeta, potem bo Gospod moj Bog.
22 and this stone, which I have set up as a monument, will be called ‘the House of God.’ And from all the things that you will give to me, I will offer tithes to you.”
In ta kamen, ki sem ga postavil za steber, bo Božja hiša. Od vsega, kar mi boš dal, ti bom zagotovo dajal desetino.«
