¹He heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s. From that which was our father’s, has he gotten all this wealth.”

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.

²Jacob saw the expression on Laban’s face, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.

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

³Yahweh said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”

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

⁴Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,

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

⁵and said to them, “I see the expression on your father’s face, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.

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

⁶You know that I have served your father with all of my strength.

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

⁷Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God didn’t allow him to hurt me.

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

⁸If he said this, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore speckled. If he said this, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore streaked.

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

⁹Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock, and given them to me.

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

¹⁰It happened during mating season that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.

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.

¹¹The angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am.’

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

¹²He said, ‘Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to you.

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.

¹³I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.’”

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.

¹⁴Rachel and Leah answered him, “Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?

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

¹⁵Aren’t we accounted by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has also quite devoured our money.

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

¹⁶For all the riches which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children’s. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do.”

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

¹⁷Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the camels,

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

¹⁸and he took away all his livestock, and all his possessions which he had gathered, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.

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.

¹⁹Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim teraphim were household idols that may have been associated with inheritance rights to the household property. that were her father’s.

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

²⁰Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he was running away.

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

²¹So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.

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

²²Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.

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

²³He took his relatives with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey. He overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.

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

²⁴God came to Laban, the Syrian, in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Take heed to yourself that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.”

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

²⁵Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped in the mountain of Gilead.

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.

²⁶Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?

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

²⁷Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;

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?

²⁸and didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now have you done foolishly.

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

²⁹It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Take heed to yourself that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.’

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.

³⁰Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, but why have you stolen my gods?”

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

³¹Jacob answered Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, ‘Lest you should take your daughters from me by force.’

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

³²Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it.” For Jacob didn’t know that Rachel had stolen them.

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.

³³Laban went into Jacob’s tent, into Leah’s tent, and into the tent of the two female servants; but he didn’t find them. He went out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent.

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.

³⁴Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt about all the tent, but didn’t find them.

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

³⁵She said to her father, “Don’t let my lord be angry that I can’t rise up before you; for I’m having my period.” He searched, but didn’t find the teraphim.

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.

³⁶Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, “What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued after me?

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?

³⁷Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my relatives and your relatives, that they may judge between us two.

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!

³⁸“These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young, and I haven’t eaten the rams of your flocks.

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

³⁹That which was torn of animals, I didn’t bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

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.

⁴⁰This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my eyes.

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

⁴¹These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.

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.

⁴²Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.”

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.

⁴³Laban answered Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine: and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne?

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?

⁴⁴Now come, let us make a covenant, you and I; and let it be for a witness between me and you.”

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

⁴⁵Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.

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

⁴⁶Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” They took stones, and made a heap. They ate there by the heap.

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

⁴⁷Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, “Jegar Sahadutha” means “Witness Heap” in Aramaic. but Jacob called it Galeed. “Galeed” means “Witness Heap” in Hebrew.

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

⁴⁸Laban said, “This heap is witness between me and you this day.” Therefore it was named Galeed

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

⁴⁹and Mizpah, for he said, “Yahweh watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.

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

⁵⁰If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.”

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,

⁵¹Laban said to Jacob, “See this heap, and see the pillar, which I have set between me and you.

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

⁵²May this heap be a witness, and the pillar be a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.

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.

⁵³The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father, Isaac.

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

⁵⁴Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his relatives to eat bread. They ate bread, and stayed all night in the mountain.

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

⁵⁵Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place.

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