1A Izák povolal Jakoba a požehnal ho, potom mu prikázal a riekol mu: Nevezmeš si ženy z dcér Kanaánových.
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.
2Zober sa, idi do Pádan-arama, do domu Betuela, otca svojej matky, a odtiaľ si vezmi ženu, z dcér Lábana, brata svojej matky.
2Arise, go to Paddan-aram, 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.
3A silný Bôh všemohúci nech ťa požehná, nech ťa rozplodí a rozmnoží, aby si bol hromadou národov.
3And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a company 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 give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee. That thou mayest inherit the land of thy sojournings, which God gave unto Abraham.
5A tak poslal Izák Jakoba, a išiel do Pádan-arama k Lábanovi, synovi Betuela Aramejského, bratovi Rebeky, matky Jakobovej a Ezavovej.
5And Isaac sent away Jacob. And he went to Paddan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
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
6Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram, 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.
7a že Jakob poslúchol svojho otca a svoju matku a išiel do Pádan-arama,
7And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan-aram.
8a keď tiež videl Ezav, že dcéry Kanaánove sú zlé očiach Izáka, jeho otca,
8And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father.
9odišiel Ezav k Izmaelovi a vzal si Machalatu, dcéru Izmaela, syna Abrahámovho, sestru Nebajotovu, popri svojich ženách za ženu.
9And Esau went unto Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
10A Jakob vyšiel z Bér-šeby a išiel do Chárana.
10And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went 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 lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set. And he took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
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 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.
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, behold, Jehovah stood above it, and said, I am Jehovah, the 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.
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 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.
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.
15And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee, whithersoever 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.
16A Jakob sa prebudil zo svojho sna a povedal: Naozaj je Hospodin na tomto mieste, a ja som nevedel o tom!
16And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely Jehovah is in this place. And I knew it 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 was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
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 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 upon the top of it.
19A nazval meno toho miesta Bét-el. Ale prv bolo meno toho mesta Lúz.
19And he called the name of that place Beth-el. But the name of the city was Luz 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 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,
21a navrátim sa v pokoji do domu svojho otca, bude mi Hospodin Bohom.
21so that I come again to my father's house in peace, and Jehovah will be 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 set up for a pillar, shall be God's house. And of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
