Genesis 31

Studie

   

1 Když pak uslyšel Jákob slova synů Lábanových, ani praví: Pobral Jákob všecko, co měl otec náš, a z těch věcí, kteréž byly otce našeho, způsobil sobě tu všecku slávu;

2 A viděl tvář Lábanovu, a aj, nebyla k němu tak jako prvé:

3 I řekl mu Hospodin: Navrať se do země otců svých, a k příbuznosti své, a budu s tebou.

4 Protož poslav Jákob, vyvolal Ráchele a Líe na pole k stádu svému.

5 A řekl jim: Vidím tvář otce vašeho, že není ke mně tak jako prvé, ješto Bůh otce mého byl se mnou.

6 A vy samy víte, že vší svou silou sloužil jsem otci vašemu.

7 Ale otec váš oklamal mne, a na desetkráte změnil mzdu mou; však nedopustil mu Bůh, aby mi zle učinil.

8 Když takto řekl: Co bude peřestého,to nechť jest mzda tvá, tedy všecky ovce rodily peřestý plod. Když pak takto řekl: Co přepásaného na nohách, to bude mzda tvá, tedy všecky ovce rodily přepásané na nohách.

9 A tak odjal Bůh stádo otce vašeho a dal mně.

10 Nebo takto bylo: Tehdáž, když se dobytek běžel, já jsem pozdvihl očí svých, a viděl jsem ve snách, a aj, berani scházející se s ovcemi byli přepásaní na nohách, peřestí a skropení.

11 Tedy řekl mi anděl Boží ve snách: Jákobe! A já jsem odpověděl: Teď jsem.

12 I řekl: Pozdvihni nyní očí svých a pohleď, že všickni berani scházející se s ovcemi jsou přepásaní na nohách, peřestí a skropení; nebo jsem viděl všecko, co tobě Lában dělá.

13 Já jsem ten silný Bůh, kterýž jsem se ukázal tobě v Bethel, kdež jsi pomazal kamene, kdež jsi mi se slibem zavázal; vstaniž nyní, vyjdi z země této, a navrať se do země příbuznosti své.

14 Tedy odpověděly mu Ráchel a Lía, řkouce: Zdaž ještě máme díl jaký a dědictví v domě otce našeho?

15 Zdaliž nejsme počteny před ním za cizí? Nebo prodal nás, ano i peníze naše do čista utratil.

16 Všecko zajisté bohatství, kteréž odjal Bůh otci našemu, naše jest a synů našich; protož nyní učiň vše, což mluvil tobě Bůh.

17 Vstav tedy Jákob, vsadil syny své a ženy své na velbloudy.

18 A pobral všecken dobytek svůj, a všecko jmění své, kteréhož byl dosáhl, dobytek svého vychování, kteréhož nabyl v Pádan Syrské, aby se navrátil k Izákovi otci svému do země Kananejské.

19 (Lában pak byl odšel, aby střihl ovce své. V tom ukradla Ráchel modly, kteréž měl otec její.

20 I ušel Jákob tajně od Lábana Syrského, neoznámiv mu, že jde pryč.)

21 Takž ušel se vším, což měl; a vstav, přepravil se přes řeku, a bral se přímo k hoře Galádské.

22 I povědíno jest Lábanovi dne třetího, že utekl Jákob.

23 Tedy on vzav bratří své s sebou, honil ho za dnů sedm; a postihl ho na hoře Galádské.

24 (Přišed pak Bůh k Lábanovi Syrskému ve snách noci té, řekl mu: Varuj se, abys nemluvil s Jákobem nic jináč než přátelsky.)

25 Dohonil tedy Lában Jákoba; a Jákob již byl rozbil stan svůj na té hoře; Lában také položil se s bratřími svými na též hoře Galádské.

26 I řekl Lában k Jákobovi: Cos to učinil? Nebo jsi ušel tajně, a odvedls dcery mé jako zjímané mečem.

27 Proč jsi tajně utekl, a vykradl se ode mne, a nepověděls mi, ješto bych tě byl vesele sprovodil s zpěvy, s bubnem a s harfou?

28 A nedopustils mi, abych políbil synů svých a dcer svých? Nemoudřes jistě udělal, čině tak.

29 Mělť bych dosti s to moci, abych vám zle učinil, ale Bůh otce vašeho mluvil mi noci pominulé, řka: Hleď, abys nemluvil s Jákobem nic jináč, než přátelsky.

30 Ale již to tam, poněvadž jsi předce odšel, roztouživ se po domu otce svého; než proč jsi ukradl bohy mé?

31 Tedy Jákob odpovídaje Lábanovi, řekl: Ušel jsem tajně; nebo jsem se bál a řekl jsem, že bys snad mocí odjal dcery své.

32 Nalezneš-li pak u koho bohy své,nechať ten umře; před bratřími našimi ohledej sobě, jest-li co u mne tvého, a vezmi sobě. Ale nevěděl Jákob, že Ráchel je ukradla.

33 Všed tedy Lában do stanu Jákobova, a do stanu Líe, a do stanu obou děvek, nic nenalezl. A vyšed z stanu Líe, všel do stanu Ráchel.

34 Ráchel pak vzavši modly, vložila je pod sedlo, kteréž na velbloudu bývá, a sedla na ně. I přemetal Lában všecken stan, ale nic nenalezl.

35 A ona řekla otci svému: Nechť to není proti mysli, pane můj, že nemohu povstati proti tobě; nebo vedlé běhu ženského nyní mi se přihodilo. A všecko přehledav, nenalezl modl.

36 Protož rozhněvav se Jákob, tuze se domlouval na Lábana. I odpověděl Jákob, a řekl Lábanovi: Jaké jest přestoupení mé? Jaký hřích můj, že rozpáliv se, honíš mne?

37 Nu již jsi přemetal všecky mé věci, a cos nalezl ze všech věcí domu svého? Polož teď před bratřími mými a bratřími svými, nechť rozeznají mezi námi dvěma.

38 Byl jsem již dvadceti let s tebou; ovce tvé ani kozy tvé nikdy nezmetaly; a skopců stáda tvého nejedl jsem.

39 Co od zvěři roztrháno, toho jsem neodvodil tobě; sám jsem tu škodu nahražoval, a ty jsi z ruky mé vyhledával toho, jako i toho, co bylo ukradeno ve dne aneb v noci.

40 Bývalo tak, že ve dne trápilo mne horko, a v noci mráz, tak že odcházel i sen můj od očí mých.

41 Již dvadceti let, jakž jsem v domě tvém; sloužil jsem tobě čtrnácte let za dvě dcery tvé, a šest let za dobytek tvůj, a změnils mzdu mou na desetkrát.

42 A kdyby Bůh otce mého, Bůh Abrahamův, a strach Izákův nebyl se mnou, jistě bys ty byl nyní pustil mne prázdného; ale trápení mé, a práci rukou mých viděl Bůh, protož tě pominulé noci trestal.

43 Odpovídaje pak Lában, dí Jákobovi: Dcery tyto jsou Dcery mé a synové tito jsou synové moji, i dobytek tento můj dobytek jest, ano cokoli vidíš, mé jest; ale což mám již učiniti dcerám těmto svým aneb synům jich, kteréž zrodily?

44 Protož poď, vejděme v smlouvu já a ty, aby byla na svědectví mezi mnou a tebou.

45 Tedy Jákob vzal kámen, a postavil jej vzhůru na znamení.

46 A řekl bratřím svým: Nasbírejte kamení. A nabravše kamení, udělali hromadu, a jedli tu na té hromadě.

47 I nazval ji Lában Jegar Sahadutha, a Jákob nazval ji Gál Ed.

48 Nebo řekl Lában: Tato hromada nechžť jest svědkem od dnešku mezi mnou a tebou. Protož nazval jméno její Gál Ed,

49 A Mispah; nebo řekl Lában: Nechať Hospodin hledí na mne a na tebe, když se rozejdeme od sebe.

50 Jestliže bys trápil dcery mé, a uvedl bys jiné ženy na dcery mé, žádného člověka není s námi; hlediž, Bůh jest svědek mezi mnou a tebou.

51 A řekl ještě Lában Jákobovi: Aj, hromada tato, a aj, sloup, kterýž jsem postavil mezi sebou a tebou,

52 Svědkem ať jest hromada tato, svědkem také sloup tento, já že nepůjdu dále k tobě za hromadu tuto, a ty tolikéž že nepůjdeš dále ke mně za hromadu tuto a sloup tento, k činění zlého.

53 Bůh Abrahamův, a Bůh Náchorův, Bůh otce jejich nechť soudí mezi námi. Přisáhl tedy Jákob skrze strach otce svého Izáka.

54 Nabil také Jákob hovad na té hoře, a pozval bratří svých, aby hodovali; i hodovali a zůstali přes noc na též hoře.

55 I vstal Lában velmi ráno, a políbiv synů svých a dcer svých, požehnal jich; i odšel a navrátil se k místu svému.

4130. Verses 26-30 And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done, that you have stolen my heart, 1 and carried away my daughters like captives taken with the sword? Why was it that you concealed your flight, and stole from me, and gave me no indication; for I might have sent you away with gladness and with songs, and with drums and with harps? And you have not allowed me to kiss my sons and my daughters; now you have acted foolishly in what you have done. Let my hand be for God to do you evil! And the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Beware of speaking to Jacob either good or evil. And now you have surely gone, because you longed greatly for your father's house. But why did you steal my gods?

'Laban said to Jacob' means a state of communication. 'What have you done?' means anger. 'That you have stolen my heart' means that it no longer possessed Divine good as it had done previously. 'And carried away my daughters' means that neither did it possess affections for truth as it had done previously. 'Like captives taken with the sword' means that they were taken away from it. 'Why was it that you concealed your flight, and stole from me, and gave me no indication' means the nature of the state if the separation had taken place with its free consent. 'For I might have sent you away with gladness and with songs' means the state in which - thinking from the proprium - it had believed itself to be as regards truths. 'With drums and with harps' means as regards spiritual good. 'And you have not allowed me to kiss my sons and my daughters' means a disjoining in a free state as intermediate good believed it to be. 'Now you have acted foolishly in what you have done' means anger. 'Let my hand be for God to do you evil!' means a state of anger if it did possess the power. 'And the God of your father spoke to me last night' means that the Divine did not allow it. 'Saying, Beware of speaking to Jacob either good or evil' means that communication was forbidden. 'And now you have surely gone' means that, acting from its proprium, it had separated itself. 'Because you longed greatly for your father's house' means a longing to be joined to Divine good flowing in down a direct line. 'But why did you steal my gods?' means anger over its being a state in which truth had been lost.

Genesis 31

Studie

   

1 He 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."

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

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

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

5 and 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.

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

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

8 If 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.

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

10 It 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.

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

12 He 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.

13 I 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.'"

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

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

16 For 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."

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

18 and 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.

19 Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's.

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

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

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

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

24 God 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."

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

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

27 Why 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;

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

29 It 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.'

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

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

32 Anyone 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.

33 Laban 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.

34 Now 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.

35 She 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.

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

37 Now 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.

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.

39 That 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.

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

41 These 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.

42 Unless 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."

43 Laban 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?

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

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

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

47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.

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

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

50 If 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."

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

52 May 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.

53 The 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.

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

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