¹A počul slová synov Lábanových, ktorí vraveli: Jakob pobral všetko, čo mal náš otec, a z toho, čo patrilo nášmu otcovi, nadobudol si všetku tú slávu.

¹And he heareth the words of Laban`s sons, saying, `Jacob hath taken all that our father hath; yea, from that which our father hath, he hath made all this honour;`

²A Jakob videl tvár Lábanovu, že hľa, nebola voči nemu taká jako predtým.

²and Jacob seeth the face of Laban, and lo, it is not with him as heretofore.

³A Hospodin riekol Jakobovi: Navráť sa do zeme svojich otcov a ku svojej rodine, a budem s tebou.

³And Jehovah saith unto Jacob, `Turn back unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I am with thee.`

⁴Vtedy poslal Jakob a zavolal Rácheľ a Leu na pole k svojmu stádu

⁴And Jacob sendeth and calleth for Rachel and for Leah to the field unto his flock;

⁵a povedal im: Vidím tvár vášho otca, že nie je ku mne jako predtým. Ale Bôh môjho otca bol so mnou.

⁵and saith to them, `I am beholding your father`s face — that it is not towards me as heretofore, and the God of my father hath been with me,

⁶A vy viete, že som celou svojou silou slúžil vášmu otcovi.

⁶and ye — ye have known that with all my power I have served your father,

⁷Ale váš otec ma oklamal a zmenil desaťkrát moju mzdu, avšak Bôh mu nedal, aby mi zle urobil.

⁷and your father hath played upon me, and hath changed my hire ten times; and God hath not suffered him to do evil with me.

⁸Ak povedal: Bodkasté bude tvojou mzdou, rodilo všetko stádo bodkasté. A keď povedal: Pásikavé bude tvojou mzdou, zase rodilo všetko stádo pásikavé.

⁸`If he say thus: The speckled are thy hire, then bare all the flock speckled ones; and if he say thus: The ring-straked are thy hire, then bare all the flock ring-straked;

⁹A tak vytrhol Bôh stádo vašeho otca a dal mne.

⁹and God taketh away the substance of your father, and doth give to me.

¹⁰A stalo sa v tom čase, keď sa pári stádo, že som pozdvihol svoje oči a videl som vo sne, že hľa, kozli, ktorí skákali na stádo, boli pásikaví, bodkastí a pestrí.

¹⁰`And it cometh to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up mine eyes and see in a dream, and lo, the he-goats, which are going up on the flock, [are] ring-straked, speckled, and grisled;

¹¹A anjel Boží mi riekol vo sne: Jakob! A ja som odpovedal: Tu som.

¹¹and the messenger of God saith unto me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here [am] I.

¹²A riekol: Nože pozdvihni svoje oči a vidz: všetci kozli, ktorí skáču na stádo, sú pásikaví, bodkastí a pestrí, lebo som videl všetko, čo ti robil Lában.

¹²`And He saith, Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see — all the he-goats which are going up on the flock [are] ring-straked, speckled, and grisled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to thee;

¹³Ja som ten silný Bôh z Bét-ela, kde si pomazal pamätný kameň, kde si mi sľúbil sľub. Zober sa teraz, vyjdi z tejto zeme a navráť sa do svojej rodnej zeme.

¹³I [am] the God of Bethel where thou hast anointed a standing pillar, where thou hast vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and turn back unto the land of thy birth.`

¹⁴A Rácheľ odpovedala i Lea, a riekly mu: Či my azda máme ešte nejaký diel alebo nejaké dedičstvo v dome svojho otca?

¹⁴And Rachel answereth — Leah also — and saith to him, `Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?

¹⁵Či nie sme u neho považované za cudzie? Lebo však nás predal a k tomu aj zjedol naše peniaze.

¹⁵have we not been reckoned strangers to him? for he hath sold us, and he also utterly consumeth our money;

¹⁶Lebo všetko, to bohatstvo, ktoré vytrhol Bôh nášmu otcovi, je naše a našich detí. A preto teraz všetko, čo ti povedal Bôh, urob!

¹⁶for all the wealth which God hath taken away from our father, it [is] ours, and our children`s; and now, all that God hath said unto thee — do.`

¹⁷A Jakob vstal a pobral svojich synov a svoje ženy na veľblúdov

¹⁷And Jacob riseth, and lifteth up his sons and his wives on the camels,

¹⁸a hnal všetok svoj dobytok a všetok svoj nadobudnutý majetok, ktorého nadobudol, svoj kúpený dobytok, ktorého nadobudol v Pádan-arame, aby išiel k Izákovi, svojmu otcovi, do zeme Kanaána.

¹⁸and leadeth all his cattle, and all his substance which he hath acquired, the cattle of his getting, which he hath acquired in Padan-Aram, to go unto Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.

¹⁹A Lában bol odišiel strihať svoje stádo, a vtedy ukradla Rácheľ domácich bohov, ktorých mal jej otec.

¹⁹And Laban hath gone to shear his flock, and Rachel stealeth the teraphim which her father hath;

²⁰A Jakob ukradol srdce Lábana Aramejského, pretože mu neoznámil, že uteká.

²⁰and Jacob deceiveth the heart of Laban the Aramaean, because he hath not declared to him that he is fleeing;

²¹A tak utekal on i všetko, čo bolo jeho, a vstanúc prepravil sa cez rieku a obrátil svoju tvár smerom k vrchu Gileádu.

²¹and he fleeth, he and all that he hath, and riseth, and passeth over the River, and setteth his face [toward] the mount of Gilead.

²²Potom na tretí deň bolo oznámené Lábanovi, že Jakob utiekol.

²²And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob hath fled,

²³Vtedy pojal so sebou svojich bratov a hnal sa za ním cesty sedem dní a dostihnul ho na vrchu Gileáde.

²³and he taketh his brethren with him, and pursueth after him a journey of seven days, and overtaketh him in the mount of Gilead.

²⁴Ale Bôh prišiel k Lábanovi Aramejskému vo sne vnoci a riekol mu: Chráň sa, aby si nehovoril s Jakobom ináč ako priateľsky!

²⁴And God cometh in unto Laban the Aramaean in a dream of the night, and saith to him, `Take heed to thyself lest thou speak with Jacob from good unto evil.`

²⁵A tak dohonil Lában Jakoba. A Jakob už bol postavil svoj stán na vrchu. I Lában postavil svoj stán so svojimi bratmi na vrchu Gileáde.

²⁵And Laban overtaketh Jacob; and Jacob hath fixed his tent in the mount; and Laban with his brethren have fixed [theirs] in the mount of Gilead.

²⁶A Lában povedal Jakobovi: Čo si to urobil? Lebo si ukradol moje srdce a odviedol si moje dcéry, jako keby boly zajaté mečom!

²⁶And Laban saith to Jacob, `What hast thou done that thou dost deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives of the sword?

²⁷Prečo si tajne utiekol a vykradol si sa odo mňa a neoznámil si mi, aby som ťa bol mohol vyprevadiť s veselosťou a so spevmi, s bubnom a s harfou?

²⁷Why hast thou hidden thyself to flee, and deceivest me, and hast not declared to me, and I send thee away with joy and with songs, with tabret and with harp,

²⁸A nedopustil si mi, aby som bozkal svojich synov a svoje dcéry. Nerozumné je to, čo si teraz vykonal.

²⁸and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? — now thou hast acted foolishly in doing [so];

²⁹Mal by som dosť moci, aby som vám urobil zle. Ale Bôh vášho otca mi povedal minulej noci a riekol: Chráň sa, aby si nehovoril s Jakobom ináč ako priateľsky.

²⁹my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your father yesternight hath spoken unto me, saying, Take heed to thyself from speaking with Jacob from good unto evil.

³⁰A tak teraz, keď si už odišiel, pretože si veľmi túžil po dome svojho otca, prečo si potom ukradol mojich bohov?

³⁰`And now, thou hast certainly gone, because thou hast been very desirous for the house of thy father; why hast thou stolen my gods?`

³¹A Jakob odpovedal a riekol Lábanovi: Ušiel som preto, že som sa bál, lebo som povedal, aby si mi reku neodňal nasilu svojich dcér.

³¹And Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, `Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou take violently away thy daughters from me;

³²No, u koho najdeš svojich bohov, ten nech nežije! Tu pred našimi bratmi si hľadaj a poznaj, čo je tvoje u mňa, a vezmi si. Ale Jakob nevedel, že ich ukradla Rácheľ.

³²with whomsoever thou findest thy gods — he doth not live; before our brethren discern for thyself what [is] with me, and take to thyself:` and Jacob hath not known that Rachel hath stolen them.

³³Vtedy vošiel Lában do stánu Jakobovho i do stánu Leinho i do stánu oboch dievok a nenašiel. A keď vyšiel zo stánu Leinho, vošiel do stánu Ráchelinho.

³³And Laban goeth into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and hath not found; and he goeth out from the tent of Leah, and goeth into the tent of Rachel.

³⁴Ale Rácheľ vzala domácich bohov a vložila ich do sedla s veľblúda a sadla na nich. A Lában prekutal celý stán, ale nenašiel.

³⁴And Rachel hath taken the teraphim, and putteth them in the furniture of the camel, and sitteth upon them; and Laban feeleth all the tent, and hath not found;

³⁵A povedala svojmu otcovi: Nech sa nehnevá môj pán, že nemôžem vstať zpred teba, lebo mi je, ako býva ženám. A tak prehľadal všetko, ale nenašiel domácich bohov.

³⁵and she saith unto her father, `Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at thy presence, for the way of women [is] on me;` and he searcheth, and hath not found the teraphim.

³⁶Vtedy sa nahneval Jakob a vadil sa na Lábana a odpovedal Jakob a riekol Lábanovi: Jaké je moje previnenie? Aký môj hriech, že ma honíš rozpálený?

³⁶And it is displeasing to Jacob, and he striveth with Laban; and Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, `What [is] my transgression? what my sin, that thou hast burned after me?

³⁷Lebo si prekutal všetky moje veci. Čo si našiel zo všetkých vecí svojho domu? Predlož to tu pred mojich bratov a pred svojich bratov, a nech rozsúdia medzi nami dvoma!

³⁷for thou hast felt all my vessels: what hast thou found of all the vessels of thy house? set here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and they decide between us both.

³⁸Toto už dvadsať rokov som bol u teba. Tvoje ovce a tvoje kozy nepometaly, a baranov tvojho stáda som nejedol.

³⁸`These twenty years I [am] with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not miscarried, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten;

³⁹Roztrhaného som nedoniesol tebe; ja som niesol tú škodu; z mojej ruky si to hľadal, už či bolo ukradnuté vodne a či bolo ukradnuté vnoci.

³⁹the torn I have not brought in unto thee — I, I repay it — from my hand thou dost seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived by night;

⁴⁰Bývalo tak, že vodne ma stravovala horúčava a mráz vnoci, a môj spánok uchádzal s mojich očí.

⁴⁰I have been [thus]: in the day consumed me hath drought, and frost by night, and wander doth my sleep from mine eyes.

⁴¹Toto som už dvadsať rokov bol v tvojom dome. Slúžil som ti štrnásť rokov za tvoje dcéry a šesť rokov za tvoje stádo, a desaťkrát si zmenil moju mzdu.

⁴¹`This [is] to me twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou changest my hire ten times;

⁴²Nech nie je so mnou Bôh môjho otca, Bôh Abrahámov a strach Izákov, je isté, že by si ma bol teraz preč poslal prázdneho. Ale moje trápenie a únavnú prácu mojich rúk videl Bôh; preto ťa karhal minulej noci.

⁴²unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now empty thou hadst sent me away; mine affliction and the labour of my hands hath God seen, and reproveth yesternight.`

⁴³A Lában odpovedal a riekol Jakobovi: Tieto dcéry sú moje dcéry a títo synovia sú moji synovia, a stádo je moje stádo, áno, i všetko, čo vidíš, je moje. Ale čože mám dnes urobiť týmto svojim dcéram alebo ich synom, ktorých porodily?

⁴³And Laban answereth and saith unto Jacob, `The daughters [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that thou art seeing [is] mine; and to my daughters — what do I to these to-day, or to their sons whom they have born?

⁴⁴Tak teraz poď, učiníme smluvu, ja i ty, aby bola svedkom medzi mnou a medzi tebou.

⁴⁴and now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and it hath been for a witness between me and thee.`

⁴⁵Vtedy vzal Jakob kameň a postavil ho na pamätné znamenie.

⁴⁵And Jacob taketh a stone, and lifteth it up [for] a standing pillar;

⁴⁶A Jakob povedal svojim bratom: Nasberajte kamenia. A nabrali kamenia a spravili hromadu, a jedli tam na tej hromade.

⁴⁶and Jacob saith to his brethren, `Gather stones,` and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;

⁴⁷A Lában ju nazval aramejsky: Jegar-sohoduta, a Jakob ju nazval hebrejsky Gal-éd.

⁴⁷and Laban calleth it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob hath called it Galeed.

⁴⁸A Lában povedal: Táto hromada je dneská svedkom medzi mnou a tebou, a preto nazval jej meno Gal-éd

⁴⁸And Laban saith, `This heap [is] witness between me and thee to-day;` therefore hath he called its name Galeed;

⁴⁹a Micpa, lebo povedal: Hospodin nech pozoruje na veci medzi mnou a tebou, keď budeme ukrytí druh pred druhom.

⁴⁹Mizpah also, for he said, `Jehovah doth watch between me and thee, for we are hidden one from another;

⁵⁰Ak by si trápil moje dcéry a keby si vzal ešte nejaké ženy k mojim dcéram; síce niet človeka s nami, ale vidz, že Bôh je svedkom medzi mnou a tebou,

⁵⁰if thou afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters — there is no man with us — see, God [is] witness between me and thee.`

⁵¹A ešte povedal Lában Jakobovi: Hľa, táto hromada a hľa, tento pamätný kameň, ktorý som postavil medzi sebou a tebou,

⁵¹And Laban saith to Jacob, `Lo, this heap, and lo, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and thee;

⁵²táto hromada bude svedkom a svedoctvom i tento pamätný kameň, že ja neprejdem k tebe za túto hromadu, a že ani ty neprejdeš ku mne za túto hromadu a za tento pamätný kameň urobiť zle.

⁵²this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap unto thee, and that thou dost not pass over this heap and this standing pillar unto me — for evil;

⁵³Bôh Abrahámov a Bôh Náchorov nech súdi medzi nami, Bôh ich otca. A Jakob prisahal na strach svojho otca Izáka.

⁵³the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, doth judge between us — the God of their father,` and Jacob sweareth by the Fear of his father Isaac.

⁵⁴A Jakob obetoval bitnú obeť na tom vrchu a povolal svojich bratov, aby jedli chlieb, a jedli chlieb a prenocovali na tom vrchu.

⁵⁴And Jacob sacrificeth a sacrifice in the mount, and calleth to his brethren to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge in the mount;

⁵⁵Potom vstal Lában skoro ráno, bozkal svojich synov a svoje dcéry a požehnal ich a odišiel, a tak sa navrátil Lában na svoje miesto.

⁵⁵and Laban riseth early in the morning, and kisseth his sons and his daughters, and blesseth them; and Laban goeth on, and turneth back to his place.
