Genesis 31

1 But afterwards, he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, “Jacob has taken all that was our father’s, and being enlarged by his ability, he has become famous.”

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 Likewise, he observed that Laban’s face was not the same toward him as it was yesterday and the day before.

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

3 Most importantly, the Lord was saying to him, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your generation, 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 He sent and called for Rachel and Leah, in the field where he pastured the flocks,

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

5 and he said to them: “I see that your father’s face is not the same toward me as it was yesterday and the day 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 And you know that I have served your father with all my strength.

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

7 Even so, your father has circumvented me, and he has changed my wages ten times. And yet God has not permitted him to harm me.

Vajin oče pa me je zavedel in mi desetkrat spremenil moja plačila, toda Bog mu ni dovolil, da bi me prizadel.

8 Whenever he said, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ all the sheep gave birth to speckled newborns. Yet truly, when he said the contrary, ‘You will take whatever is white for your wages,’ all the flocks gave birth to white ones.

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 And it is God who has taken your father’s substance and given it to me.

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

10 For after the time had arrived for the ewes to conceive, I lifted up my eyes, and I saw in my sleep that the males climbing on the females were of variegated, and spotted, and diverse colors.

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 And the Angel of God said to me in my sleep, ‘Jacob.’ And I responded, ‘Here I am.’

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

12 And he said: ‘Lift up your eyes, and see that all the males climbing on the females are variegated, spotted, and also speckled. 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 the stone and made a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and depart from this land, returning to the land of your nativity.’”

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 And Rachel and Leah responded: “Have we anything left behind among the resources and inheritance of 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 Has he not considered us as foreigners, and sold us, and consumed our price?

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

16 But God has taken our father’s riches and handed these to us and to our sons. Therefore, do all that God has instructed you.”

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 And so Jacob rose up, and having placed the children and his wives upon camels, he went forth.

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

18 And he took all his substance and flocks, and whatever he had acquired in Mesopotamia, and he journeyed to his father Isaac, 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 At that time, Laban had gone to shear the sheep, and so Rachel stole her father’s idols.

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

20 And Jacob was not willing to confess to his father-in-law that he was fleeing.

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

21 And when he had gone away with all such things that were justly his, and, having crossed the river, was continuing on toward Mount Gilead,

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

22 it was reported to Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.

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

23 And taking his brothers with him, he pursued him for seven days. And he overtook him at Mount Gilead.

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

24 And he saw in a dream, God saying to him, “Beware that you not speak anything harsh against Jacob.”

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

25 And now Jacob had pitched his tent at the mountain. And when he, with his brothers, had overtaken him, he set his tent at the same place at Mount 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 And he said to Jacob: “Why have you acted this way, departing from me in secret, with my daughters like captives of the sword?

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 would you want to flee without my knowledge and without telling me, though I might have led you forward with gladness, and songs, and timbrels, and lyres?

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 You have not permitted me to kiss my sons and daughters. You have acted foolishly. And now, indeed,

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

29 my hand has power to repay you with harm. But the God of your father said to me yesterday, ‘Beware that you not speak anything stern against Jacob.’

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 It may be that you desired to go to your own, and that you longed for the house of your father. 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: “I set out, unknown to you, because I feared that you might take away your daughters by violence.

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

32 But, since you accuse me of theft, with whomever you will find your gods, let him be slain in the sight of our brothers. Search; anything of yours that you will find with me, take it away.” Now when he said this, he did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.

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 And so Laban, entering the tent of Jacob, and of Leah, and of both the handmaids, did not find them. And when he had entered the tent of Rachel,

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 she quickly hid the idols under the camel’s bedding, and she sat upon them. And when he had searched the entire tent and found nothing,

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: “Do not be angry, my lord, that I am unable to rise up in your sight, because it has now happened to me according to the custom of women.” So his careful search was thwarted.

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 And Jacob, being inflated, said with contention: “For which fault of mine, or for what sin of mine, have you become so enraged against 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 and searched all the items of my house? What have you found from all the substance of your house? Place it here before my brothers, and your brothers, and let them judge between me and you.

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 For what reason have I been with you for twenty years? Your ewes and she-goats were not barren; the rams of your flocks I did not consume.

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

39 Neither did I reveal to you what was seized by the wild beast. I replaced all that was damaged. Whatever was lost by theft, you collected it from me.

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 Day and night, I was burned by heat and by frost, and sleep fled from my eyes.

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

41 And in this way, for twenty years, I have served you in your house: fourteen for your daughters, and six for your flocks. You have also 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 If the God of my father Abraham and the fear of Isaac had not been close to me, perhaps by now you would have sent me away naked. But God looked kindly on my affliction and the labor of my hands, and he rebuked you yesterday.”

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 him: “My daughters and sons, and your flocks, and all that you discern are mine. What can I do to my sons and grandchildren?

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 Come, therefore, let us enter into a pact, so that it may be a testimony between me and you.”

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

45 And so Jacob took a stone, and he set it up as a memorial.

Jakob je vzel kamen in ga postavil za steber.

46 And he said to his brothers, “Bring stones.” And they, gathering together stones, made a tomb, and they ate upon it.

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

47 And Laban called it, ‘Tomb of Witness,’ and Jacob, ‘Pile of Testimony;’ each of them according to the fitness of his own language.

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

48 And Laban said: “This tomb will be a witness between me and you this day.” (And for this reason, its name has been called Gilead, that is, ‘Tomb of Witness.’)

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

49 “May the Lord consider and judge between us, when we will have withdrawn from one another.

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

50 If you afflict my daughters, and if you bring in other wives over them, no one is a witness of our words except God, who understands beforehand.”

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 And again he said to Jacob. “Lo, this tomb and the stone that I have set up between me and you,

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

52 will be a witness. This tomb,” I say, “and the stone, they are for testimony, in case either I cross beyond it going toward you, or you cross beyond it thinking to harm me.

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 May the God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” Therefore, 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 And after he had immolated sacrifices on the mountain, he called his brothers to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there.

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 In truth, Laban rose up in the night, and he kissed his sons and daughters, and he blessed them. And he 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.
