¹God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”

¹A Bôh riekol Jakobovi: Vstaň, iď hore do Bét-ela a bývaj tam a učiň tam oltár silnému Bohu, ktorý sa ti ukázal vtedy, keď si utekal pred Ezavom, svojím bratom.

²Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, change your garments.

²Vtedy povedal Jakob svojmu domu, a všetkým, ktorí boli s ním: Odstráňte cudzích bohov, ktorých máte medzi sebou, a očistite sa a zameňte svoje rúcha,

³Let us arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.”

³a vstanúc poďme hore do Bét-ela, a učiním tam oltár silnému Bohu, ktorý ma vyslyšal v deň môjho súženia a bol so mnou na ceste, ktorou som išiel.

⁴They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

⁴A dali Jakobovi všetkých cudzích bohov, ktorí boli v ich ruke, i náušnice, ktoré mali na svojich ušiach, a Jakob ich zakopal a skryl pod dubom, ktorý bol pri Sicheme.

⁵They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t pursue the sons of Jacob.

⁵A tak sa rušali. A strach Boží bol na mestách, ktoré boly vôkol nich, a nehonili synov Jakobových.

⁶So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

⁶A Jakob prišiel do Lúza, ktoré je v zemi Kanaána, to je Bét-el, on i všetok ľud, ktorý bol s ním.

⁷He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

⁷A vystavili tam oltár a pomenovali to miesto: El-bet-el; lebo tam tam sa mu boli zjavili Bohovia, keď utekal pred svojím bratom.

⁸Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.

⁸A toho času zomrela Debora, chôva Rebekina, a bola pochovaná pod Bét-elom, pod dubom, a nazval meno toho duba: Allon-bachút.

⁹God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

⁹A Bôh sa zase ukázal Jakobovi, keď prišiel z Pádan-arama, a požehnal ho.

¹⁰God said to him, “Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel.” He named him Israel.

¹⁰A Bôh mu povedal: Tvoje meno je Jakob. Nebude sa viacej nazývať tvoje meno Jakob, ale Izrael bude tvoje meno. A tak nazval jeho meno Izrael.

¹¹God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.

¹¹A ešte mu povedal Bôh: Ja som silný Bôh všemohúci. Ploď sa a množ sa! Národ, áno hromada národov bude z teba, i kráľovia pojdú z tvojich bedier.

¹²The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your seed after you will I give the land.”

¹²A zem, ktorú som bol dal Abrahámovi a Izákovi, dám tebe, i tvojmu semenu po tebe dám tú zem.

¹³God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.

¹³Potom odišiel Bôh hore od neho na mieste, na ktorom hovoril s ním.

¹⁴Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

¹⁴A Jakob postavil pamätný stĺp na mieste, na ktorom hovoril s ním, pamätný stĺp kamenný, vylial naň liatu obeť a polial ho na vrchu olejom.

¹⁵Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him “Bethel.”

¹⁵A Jakob nazval meno miesta, na ktorom hovoril s ním Bôh: Bét-el.

¹⁶They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.

¹⁶A tak sa rušali z Bét-ela. A bolo ešte nejaký malý kúsok cesty do Efraty, keď porodila Rácheľ, ale mala ťažký pôrod.

¹⁷When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”

¹⁷A stalo sa, kým tedy s ťažkosťou rodila, že jej povedala baba: Neboj sa, máš i toto syna.

¹⁸It happened, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Benoni, “Benoni” means “son of my trouble.” but his father named him Benjamin. “Benjamin” means “son of my right hand.”

¹⁸A stalo sa v tom, keď vychádzala jej duša, lebo zomrela, že nazvala jeho meno Ben-oni; ale jeho otec ho pomenoval Benjamin.

¹⁹Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem).

¹⁹A tak zomrela Rácheľ a bola pochovaná na ceste do Efraty, to jest Bet-lehem.

²⁰Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.

²⁰A Jakob postavil pomník na jej hrob. To je ten náhrobný pomník Ráchelin, ktorý tam stojí až do dnešného dňa.

²¹Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

²¹A Izrael sa rušal ďalej a roztiahol svoj stán z tamtej strany veže Éder.

²²It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

²²A stalo sa, keď býval Izrael v tej zem, že išiel Rúben a ležal s Bilhou, ženinou svojho otca, a Izrael sa to dopočul. A synov Jakobových bolo dvanásť.

²³The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

²³Synovia Leini: prvorodený Jakobov Rúben, Simeon, Lévi, Júda, Izachár a Zabulon.

²⁴The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

²⁴Synovia Ráchelini: Jozef a Benjamin.

²⁵The sons of Bilhah (Rachel’s handmaid): Dan and Naphtali.

²⁵A synovia Bilhy, dievky Ráchelinej: Dán a Naftali.

²⁶The sons of Zilpah (Leah’s handmaid): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

²⁶A synovia Zilfy, dievky Leinej: Gád a Aser. Toto sú synovia Jakobovi, ktorí sa mu narodili v Pádan-arame.

²⁷Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.

²⁷A Jakob prišiel k Izákovi, svojmu otcovi, do Mamre, do mesta Arbeho, ktoré je Hebron, kde pohostínil Abrahám a Izák.

²⁸The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

²⁸A Izákových dní bolo sto osemdesiat rokov.

²⁹Isaac gave up the spirit, and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.

²⁹A tak dokonal Izák a zomrel a bol pripojený k svojmu ľudu, starý a sýty dňov, a pochovali ho Ezav a Jakob, jeho synovia.
