Postanak 15
1 Poslije tih događaja Jahve uputi Abramu riječ u ukazanju: “Ne boj se, Abrame, ja sam ti zaštita; a nagrada tvoja bit će vrlo velika!”
After these deades ye worde of God came vnto Abram in a vision saynge feare not Abram I am thy shilde and thy rewarde shalbe exceadynge greate.
2 Abram odgovori: “Gospodine moj, Jahve, čemu mi tvoji darovi kad ostajem bez poroda; kad je mojoj kući nasljednik Eliezer Damaščanin?
And Abram answered: LORde Iehouah what wilt thou geue me: I goo childlesse and the cater of myne housse this Eleasar of Damasco hath a sonne.
3 Kako mi nisi dao potomstva - nastavi Abram - jedan će, eto, od mojih ukućana postati moj baštinik.”
And Abram sayd: se to me hast thou geven no seed: lo a lad borne in my housse shalbe myne heyre.
4 Ali mu Jahve opet uputi riječ: “Taj neće biti tvoj baštinik, nego će ti baštinik biti tvoj potomak.”
And beholde the worde of the LORde spake vnto Abram sayenge: He shall not be thyne heyre but one that shall come out of thyne awne bodye shalbe thyne heyre.
5 Izvede ga van i reče: “Pogledaj na nebo i zvijezde prebroj ako ih možeš prebrojiti.” A onda doda: “Toliko će biti tvoje potomstvo.”
And he brought him out at the doores ad sayde. Loke vpp vnto heaven and tell the starres yf thou be able to nobre them. And sayde vnto him Even so shall thy seed be.
6 Abram povjerova Jahvi, i on mu to uračuna u pravednost.
And Abram beleved the LORde and it was counted to him for rightwesnes.
7 Tada mu on reče: “Ja sam Jahve koji sam te odveo iz Ura Kaldejskoga da ti predam ovu zemlju u posjed.”
And he sayde vnto hym: I am the LORde that brought the out of Vrin Chaldea to geue the this lande to possesse it.
8 A on odvrati: “Gospodine moj, Jahve, kako ću ja doznati da ću je zaposjesti?”
And he sayde: LORde God whereby shall I knowe that I shall possesse it?
9 Odgovori mu: “Prinesi mi junicu od tri godine, kozu od tri godine, ovna od tri godine, jednu grlicu i jednog golubića.”
And he sayde vnto him: take an heyfer of. iij. yere olde and a she gotte of thre yeres olde and a thre yere olde ram a turtill doue and a yonge pigeon.
10 Sve mu to donese, rasiječe na pole i metnu sve pole jednu prema drugoj; ptica nije rasijecao.
And he toke all these and devyded them in the myddes and layde euery pece one over agenst a nother. But the foules devyded he not.
11 Ptice grabežljivice obarale se na leševe, ali ih je Abram rastjerivao.
And the byrdes fell on the carcases but Abra droue the awaye.
12 Kad je sunce bilo pri zalazu, dubok san obuzme Abrama, a onda se na nj spusti gust mrak pun jeze.
And when the sonne was doune there fell a slomber apon Abram. And loo feare and greate darknesse came apon hym.
13 Tada Bog reče Abramu: “Dobro znaj da će tvoji potomci biti stranci u tuđoj zemlji; robovat će i biti tlačeni četiri stotine godina,
And he sayde vnto Abram: knowe this of a suertie that thi seed shalbe a straunger in a lande that perteyneth not vnto the. And they shall make bondmen of them and entreate them evell iiij. hundred yeares.
14 ali narodu kojem budu služili ja ću suditi; i konačno će izići s velikim blagom.
But the nation whom they shall serue wyll I iudge. And after warde shall they come out wyth greate substace.
15 A ti ćeš k ocima svojim u miru poći, u sretnoj starosti bit ćeš sahranjen.
Neuerthelesse thou shalt goo vnto thi fathers in peace ad shalt be buried when thou art of a good age:
16 Oni će se ovamo vratiti za četvrtog naraštaja, jer mjera se zlodjela amorejskih još nije navršila.”
ad in the fourth generation they shall come hyther agayne for the wekednesse of the Amorites ys not yet full.
17 Kad je sunce zašlo i pao gust mrak, pojavi se zadimljen žeravnjak i goruća zublja te prođu između onih dijelova.
When the sonne was doune and it was waxed darke: beholde there was a smokynge furnesse and a fyre brand that went betwene the sayde peces.
18 Toga je dana Jahve sklopio Savez s Abramom rekavši: “Potomstvu tvojemu dajem zemlju ovu od Rijeke u Egiptu do Velike rijeke, rijeke Eufrata:
And that same daye the LORde made a covenaunte with Abram saynge: vnto thy seed wyll I geue thys londe fro the ryver of Egypte even vnto the greate ryver euphrates:
19 Kenijce, Kenižane, Kadmonce,
the kenytes the kenizites the Cadmonites
20 Hetite, Perižane, Refaimce,
the Hethites the Pherezites the Raphaims
21 Amorejce, Kanaance, Girgašane, Jebusejce.”
the Amorytes the Canaanites the Gergesites and the Iebusites.
