¹A Izák povolal Jakoba a požehnal ho, potom mu prikázal a riekol mu: Nevezmeš si ženy z dcér Kanaánových.

¹And Isaac calleth unto Jacob, and blesseth him, and commandeth him, and saith to him, `Thou dost not take a wife of the daughters of Caanan;

²Zober sa, idi do Pádan-arama, do domu Betuela, otca svojej matky, a odtiaľ si vezmi ženu, z dcér Lábana, brata svojej matky.

²rise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel, thy mother`s father, and take for thyself from thence a wife, of the daughters of Laban, thy mother`s brother;

³A silný Bôh všemohúci nech ťa požehná, nech ťa rozplodí a rozmnoží, aby si bol hromadou národov.

³and God Almighty doth bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and thou hast become an assembly of peoples;

⁴A nech ti dá požehnanie Abrahámovo, tebe i tvojmu semenu s tebou, aby si dedične dostal zem svojho pohostínstva, ktorú dal Bôh Abrahámovi.

⁴and He doth give to thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee, to cause thee to possess the land of thy sojournings, which God gave to Abraham.`

⁵A tak poslal Izák Jakoba, a išiel do Pádan-arama k Lábanovi, synovi Betuela Aramejského, bratovi Rebeky, matky Jakobovej a Ezavovej.

⁵And Isaac sendeth away Jacob, and he goeth to Padan-Aram, unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramaean, brother of Rebekah, mother of Jacob and Esau.

⁶A keď videl Ezav, že Izák požehnal Jakoba a poslal ho do Pádan-arama, aby si vzal odtiaľ ženu, keď ho žehnal, a že mu prikázal povediac: Nevezmeš, si ženy z dcér Kanaánových

⁶And Esau seeth that Isaac hath blessed Jacob, and hath sent him to Padan-Aram to take to himself from thence a wife — in his blessing him that he layeth a charge upon him, saying, Thou dost not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan —

⁷a že Jakob poslúchol svojho otca a svoju matku a išiel do Pádan-arama,

⁷that Jacob hearkeneth unto his father and unto his mother, and goeth to Padan-Aram —

⁸a keď tiež videl Ezav, že dcéry Kanaánove sú zlé očiach Izáka, jeho otca,

⁸and Esau seeth that the daughters of Canaan are evil in the eyes of Isaac his father,

⁹odišiel Ezav k Izmaelovi a vzal si Machalatu, dcéru Izmaela, syna Abrahámovho, sestru Nebajotovu, popri svojich ženách za ženu.

⁹and Esau goeth unto Ishmael, and taketh Mahalath, daughter of Ishmael, Abraham`s son, sister of Nebajoth, unto his wives, to himself, for a wife.

¹⁰A Jakob vyšiel z Bér-šeby a išiel do Chárana.

¹⁰And Jacob goeth out from Beer-Sheba, and goeth toward Haran,

¹¹A nadišiel na nejaké miesto a nocoval tam, pretože bolo slnce zapadlo. A vzal z kameňov, ktoré boly na mieste, a položil si pod hlavu a ľahol si na tom mieste spať.

¹¹and he toucheth at a [certain] place, and lodgeth there, for the sun hath gone in, and he taketh of the stones of the place, and maketh [them] his pillows, and lieth down in that place.

¹²A snívalo sa mu, že hľa, rebrík bol postavený na zem, ktorého vrch dosahoval do neba. A hľa, anjeli Boží vystupovali a sostupovali po ňom.

¹²And he dreameth, and lo, a ladder set up on the earth, and its head is touching the heavens; and lo, messengers of God are going up and coming down by it;

¹³A hľa, Hospodin stál nad ním a riekol: Ja som Hospodin, Bôh Abraháma, tvojho otca, a Bôh Izáka; zem, na ktorej ležíš, dám tebe a tvojmu semenu.

¹³and lo, Jehovah is standing upon it, and He saith, `I [am] Jehovah, God of Abraham thy father, and God of Isaac; the land on which thou art lying, to thee I give it, and to thy seed;

¹⁴A tvojho semena bude jako prachu zeme, a rozmôžeš sa na západ, k moru, i na východ, na sever i na juh, a požehnané budú v tebe všetky čeľade zeme a v tvojom semene.

¹⁴and thy seed hath been as the dust of the land, and thou hast broken forth westward, and eastward, and northward, and southward, and all families of the ground have been blessed in thee and in thy seed.

¹⁵A hľa, ja som s tebou a budem ťa chrániť všade kamkoľvek pojdeš, a navrátim ťa do tejto zeme, lebo ťa neopustím, dokiaľ len nevykonám toho, čo som ti hovoril.

¹⁵`And lo, I [am] with thee, and have kept thee whithersoever thou goest, and have caused thee to turn back unto this ground; for I leave thee not till that I have surely done that which I have spoken to thee.`

¹⁶A Jakob sa prebudil zo svojho sna a povedal: Naozaj je Hospodin na tomto mieste, a ja som nevedel o tom!

¹⁶And Jacob awaketh out of his sleep, and saith, `Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew not;`

¹⁷A bál sa a povedal: Aké strašné je toto miesto! Toto nie je iné ako dom Boží, a toto je brána nebies.

¹⁷and he feareth, and saith, `How fearful [is] this place; this is nothing but a house of God, and this a gate of the heavens.`

¹⁸A Jakob vstal skoro ráno a vzal kameň, ktorý si bol položil pod hlavu, a postavil ho za pamätný stĺp a na jeho vrch nalial oleja.

¹⁸And Jacob riseth early in the morning, and taketh the stone which he hath made his pillows, and maketh it a standing pillar, and poureth oil upon its top,

¹⁹A nazval meno toho miesta Bét-el. Ale prv bolo meno toho mesta Lúz.

¹⁹and he calleth the name of that place Bethel, [house of God,] and yet, Luz [is] the name of the city at the first.

²⁰Vtedy sľúbil Jakob sľub a povedal: Ak bude Bôh so mnou a bude ma chrániť na tejto ceste, ktorou idem, a dá mi chleba jesť a rúcho odiať sa,

²⁰And Jacob voweth a vow, saying, `Seeing God is with me, and hath kept me in this way which I am going, and hath given to me bread to eat, and a garment to put on —

²¹a navrátim sa v pokoji do domu svojho otca, bude mi Hospodin Bohom.

²¹when I have turned back in peace unto the house of my father, and Jehovah hath become my God,

²²A tento kameň, ktorý som postavil na pamiatku, bude domom Božím. A zo všetkého, čo mi dáš, ó, Bože, dám ti istotne desatinu.

²²then this stone which I have made a standing pillar is a house of God, and all that Thou dost give to me — tithing I tithe to Thee.`
