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.
Tada Isak dozva Jakova, i blagoslovi ga, i zapovjedi mu i reèe: nemoj da se oženiš kojom izmeðu kæeri Hananejskih.
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.
Ustani, idi u Padan-Aram u dom Vatuila oca matere svoje, i odande se oženi izmeðu kæeri Lavana ujaka svojega.
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.
A Bog svemoguæi da te blagoslovi, i da ti da veliku porodicu i umnoži te, da od tebe postane mnoštvo naroda,
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.”
I da ti da blagoslov Avramov, tebi i sjemenu tvojemu s tobom, da naslijediš zemlju u kojoj si došljak, koju Bog dade Avramu.
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.
Tako opravi Isak Jakova, i on poðe u Padan-Aram k Lavanu sinu Vatuila Sirina, bratu Reveke matere Jakovljeve i Isavove.
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,’
A Isav vidje gdje Isak blagoslovi Jakova i opravi ga u Padan-Aram da se odande oženi, i gdje blagosiljajuæi ga zapovjedi mu i reèe: nemoj da se oženiš kojom izmeðu kæeri Hananejskih,
7 and that Jacob, obeying his parents, had gone into Syria,
I gdje Jakov posluša oca svojega i mater svoju, i otide u Padan-Aram;
8 having evidence also that his father did not look with favor upon the daughters of Canaan,
I vidje Isav da kæeri Hananejske nijesu po volji Isaku ocu njegovu.
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.
Pa otide Isav k Ismailu, i uze za ženu preko žena svojih Maeletu, kæer Ismaila sina Avramova, sestru Navajotovu.
10 Meanwhile Jacob, having departed from Beersheba, continued on to Haran.
A Jakov otide od Virsaveje iduæi u Haran.
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.
I doðe na jedno mjesto, i ondje zanoæi, jer sunce bješe zašlo; i uze kamen na onom mjestu, i metnu ga sebi pod glavu, i zaspa na onom mjestu.
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,
I usni, a to ljestve stajahu na zemlji a vrhom ticahu u nebo, i gle, anðeli Božji po njima se penjahu i slažahu;
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.
I gle, na vrhu stajaše Gospod, i reèe: ja sam Gospod Bog Avrama oca tvojega i Bog Isakov; tu zemlju na kojoj spavaš tebi æu dati i sjemenu tvojemu;
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.
I sjemena æe tvojega biti kao praha na zemlji, te æeš se raširiti na zapad i na istok i na sjever i na jug, i svi narodi na zemlji blagosloviæe se u tebi i u sjemenu tvojem.
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.”
I evo, ja sam s tobom, i èuvaæu te kuda god poðeš, i dovešæu te natrag u ovu zemlju, jer te neæu ostaviti dokle god ne uèinim što ti rekoh.
16 And when Jacob had awakened from sleep, he said, “Truly, the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.”
A kad se Jakov probudi od sna, reèe: zacijelo je Gospod na ovom mjestu; a ja ne znah.
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.”
I uplaši se, i reèe: kako je strašno mjesto ovo! ovdje je doista kuæa Božja, i ovo su vrata nebeska.
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.
I usta Jakov ujutru rano, i uze kamen što bješe metnuo sebi pod glavu, i utvrdi ga za spomen i preli ga uljem.
19 And he called the name of the city, ‘Bethel,’ which before was called Luz.
I prozva ono mjesto Vetilj, a preðe bješe ime onome gradu 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,
I uèini Jakov zavjet, govoreæi: ako Bog bude sa mnom i saèuva me na putu kojim idem i da mi hljeba da jedem i odijela da se oblaèim,
21 and if I will return prosperously to my father’s house, then the Lord will be my God,
I ako se vratim na miru u dom oca svojega, Gospod æe mi biti 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.”
A kamen ovaj koji utvrdih za spomen biæe dom Božji; i što mi god daš, od svega æu deseto dati tebi.
