¹And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.

¹Pokliče torej Izak Jakoba in ga blagoslovi ter mu zapove, rekoč: Ne jemlji žene izmed hčer Kanaancev.

²Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.

²Vstani, pojdi v Padan-aram, na dom Betuela, deda svojega po materi, in vzemi si odondod ženo izmed hčer Labana, ujca svojega.

³And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;

³In Bog silni, Vsegamogočni te blagoslovi, in rodovitnega te stóri ter pomnóži, da bodeš oče množici narodov.

⁴And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.

⁴In daj ti blagoslov Abrahamov, tebi in semenu tvojemu s teboj, da podeduješ deželo tujčevanja svojega, ki jo je Bog dal Abrahamu.

⁵And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.

⁵Tako pošlje Izak Jakoba, da je šel v Padan-aram k Labanu, sinu Betuela Aramejca, bratu Rebeke, matere Jakobove in Ezavove.

⁶When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;

⁶In Ezav je videl, da je Izak blagoslovil Jakoba in ga odposlal v Padan-aram, da si vzame odondod ženo, in ko ga je blagoslavljal, da mu je prepovedal, rekoč: Ne jemlji žene izmed hčer Kanaancev;

⁷And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;

⁷in da je Jakob poslušal očeta svojega in mater svojo in šel v Padan-aram.

⁸And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;

⁸Tudi je videl Ezav, da se slabe vidijo hčere Kanaancev v očeh Izaka, očeta njegovega.

⁹Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.

⁹Šel je torej Ezav k Izmaelcem ter si vzame poleg žen svojih še za ženo Mahalato, hčer Izmaela, sina Abrahamovega, sestro Nebajotovo.

¹⁰And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.

¹⁰Ali Jakob odide iz Bersebe in se napoti v Haran.

¹¹And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.

¹¹In naleti na neki kraj, kjer je prenočil, ker je bilo solnce zašlo; in vzame od kamenja tistega kraja ter si napravi podglavje in leže počivat v tem kraju.

¹²And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

¹²In sanjalo se mu je, in glej, lestvica je bila postavljena na zemljo, a vrh njen je segal do neba; in glej angele Božje, stopajoče gori in doli po njej.

¹³And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

¹³In glej GOSPODA, stoječega nadnjo, in mu govori: Jaz sem GOSPOD, Bog Abrahama, očeta tvojega, in Bog Izakov: to deželo, na kateri ležiš, dam tebi in semenu tvojemu.

¹⁴And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

¹⁴In seme tvoje bode kakor prah zemlje, in razširiš se proti jutru in proti večeru in proti poldnevu in proti polnoči, in v tebi in v semenu tvojem bodo blagoslovljene vse rodovine zemlje.

¹⁵And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

¹⁵Glej pa, jaz sem s teboj in te ohranim, kamorkoli pojdeš, in te pripeljem nazaj v to deželo; kajti ne zapustim te, dokler ne izpolnim, kar sem ti obljubil.

¹⁶And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.

¹⁶In ko se zbudi Jakob iz spanja, reče: Resnično, GOSPOD je v tem kraju, in jaz nisem vedel!

¹⁷And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

¹⁷In v svetem strahu reče: kako častitljiv je ta kraj! Ni nič drugega nego hiša Božja, in tu so vrata nebeška!

¹⁸And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.

¹⁸In Jakob vstane zgodaj tisto jutro ter vzame kamenje, ki si ga je položil za podglavje, in ga postavi v spomenik in izlije olja na vrh njegov.

¹⁹And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.

¹⁹In imenuje ime tega kraja Betel [T. j. hiša božja.]; ali prej je bilo Luz ime tistemu mestu.

²⁰And 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 raiment to put on,

²⁰In Jakob stori obljubo, govoreč: Ako bode Bog z menoj ter me ohrani na tem potu, po katerem sedaj potujem, in mi da kruha za jed in oblačila, da ga oblečem,

²¹So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:

²¹in se vrnem srečno na dom očeta svojega: tedaj mi GOSPOD bodi Bog,in to kamenje, katero sem postavil v spomenik, bodi hiša Božja; in karkoli mi boš dal, od vsega ti dam desetino.

²²And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

²²in to kamenje, katero sem postavil v spomenik, bodi hiša Božja; in karkoli mi boš dal, od vsega ti dam desetino.
