¹Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.

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

²Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.

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

³May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,

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

⁴and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your seed with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.”

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

⁵Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, Rebekah’s brother, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.

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

⁶Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan,”

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

⁷and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.

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

⁸Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn’t please Isaac, his father.

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

⁹Esau went to 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.

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

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

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

¹¹He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.

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.

¹²He dreamed. Behold, a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

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.

¹³Behold, Yahweh stood above it, and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land whereon you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed.

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.

¹⁴Your seed will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your seed will all the families of the earth be blessed.

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.

¹⁵Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.”

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.

¹⁶Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”

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

¹⁷He was afraid, and said, “How dreadful is this place! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.”

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

¹⁸Jacob 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 on its top.

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.

¹⁹He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.

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

²⁰Jacob 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 clothing to put on,

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,

²¹so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and Yahweh will be my God,

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

²²then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give the tenth to you.”

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