Genesis 28
1 Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Тада Исак дозва Јакова, и благослови га, и заповеди му и рече: Немој да се ожениш којом између кћери хананејских.
2 Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.
Устани, иди у Падан-Арам у дом Ватуила оца матере своје, и оданде се ожени између кћери Лавана ујака свог.
3 May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
А Бог Свемогући да те благослови, и да ти да велику породицу и умножи те, да од тебе постане мноштво народа,
4 and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.”
И да ти да благослов Аврамов, теби и семену твом с тобом, да наследиш земљу у којој си дошљак, коју Бог даде Авраму.
5 Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
Тако оправи Исак Јакова, и он пође у Падан-Арам к Лавану сину Ватуила Сирина, брату Ревеке матере Јаковљеве и Исавове.
6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;”
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,
7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.
И где Јаков послуша оца свог и матер своју, и отиде у Падан-Арам;
8 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please Isaac, his father.
И виде Исав да кћери хананејске нису по вољи Исаку оцу његовом.
9 So Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Па отиде Исав к Исмаилу, и узе за жену преко жена својих Маелету, кћер Исмаила сина Аврамовог, сестру Навеотову.
10 Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
А Јаков отиде од Вирсавеје идући у Харан.
11 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.
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.
12 He dreamed and saw a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
И усни, а то лестве стајаху на земљи а врхом тицаху у небо, и гле, анђели Божји по њима се пењаху и силажаху;
13 Behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.
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;
14 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, all the families of the earth will be blessed.
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.
15 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.”
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.
16 Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.”
А кад се Јаков пробуди од сна, рече: Зацело је Господ на овом месту; а ја не знах.
17 He was afraid, and said, “How awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.”
И уплаши се, и рече: Како је страшно место ово! Овде је доиста кућа Божја, и ово су врата небеска.
18 Jacob 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.
И уста Јаков ујутру рано, и узе камен што беше метнуо себи под главу, и утврди га за спомен и прели га уљем.
19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
И прозва оно место Ветиљ, а пре беше име оном граду Луз.
20 Jacob 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,
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,
21 so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and the LORD will be my God,
И ако се вратим на миру у дом оца свог, Господ ће ми бити Бог;
22 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.”
А камен овај који утврдих за спомен биће дом Божји; и шта ми год даш, од свега ћу десето дати Теби.
