Postanak 22
1 Poslije tih događaja Bog stavi Abrahama na kušnju. Zovnu ga: “Abrahame!” On odgovori: “Evo me!”
Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.
2 Bog nastavi: “Uzmi svoga sina, jedinca svoga Izaka koga ljubiš, i pođi u krajinu Moriju pa ga ondje prinesi kao žrtvu paljenicu na brdu koje ću ti pokazati.”
“Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
3 Ujutro Abraham podrani, osamari magarca, sa sobom povede dvojicu svojih slugu i svog sina Izaka, pošto je prije nacijepao drva za žrtvu paljenicu, i uputi se na mjesto koje mu je Bog označio.
So Abraham got up early the next morning, saddled his donkey, and took along two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had designated.
4 Treći dan Abraham podigne oči i opazi mjesto izdaleka.
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
5 Abraham onda reče slugama: “Vi ostanite ovdje uz magarca, a ja i dječak odosmo gore da se poklonimo, pa ćemo se vratiti k vama”.
“Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return to you.”
6 Abraham uzme drva za žrtvu paljenicu, stavi ih na sina Izaka, a u svoju ruku uzme kremen i nož. Tako pođu obojica zajedno.
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.
7 Onda Izak reče svome ocu Abrahamu: “Oče!” “Evo me, sine!” - javi se on. “Evo kremena i drva,” opet će sin, “ali gdje je janje za žrtvu paljenicu?”
Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” “Here I am, my son,” he replied. “The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 “Bog će već providjeti janje za žrtvu paljenicu, sine moj!” - odgovori Abraham. I nastave put.
Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.
9 Stignu na mjesto o kojemu je Bog govorio. Ondje Abraham podigne žrtvenik, naslaže drva, sveže svog sina Izaka i položi ga po drvima na žrtvenik.
When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood.
10 Pruži sad Abraham ruku i uzme nož da zakolje svog sina.
Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
11 Uto ga zovne s neba anđeo Jahvin i poviče: “Abrahame! Abrahame!” “Evo me!” - odgovori on.
Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
12 “Ne spuštaj ruku na dječaka”, reče, “niti mu što čini! Sad, evo, znam da se Boga bojiš, jer nisi uskratio ni svog sina, jedinca svoga.”
“Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”
13 Podiže Abraham oči i pogleda, i gle - za njim ovan, rogovima se zapleo u grmu. Tako Abraham ode, uzme ovna i prinese ga za žrtvu paljenicu mjesto svoga sina.
Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram in a thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
14 Onome mjestu Abraham dade ime “Jahve proviđa”. Zato se danas veli: “Na brdu Jahvina proviđanja.”
And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
15 Anđeo Jahvin zovne Abrahama s neba drugi put
And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,
16 i reče: “Kunem se samim sobom, izjavljuje Jahve: Kad si to učinio i nisi mi uskratio svog jedinca sina,
saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,
17 svoj ću blagoslov na te izliti i učiniti tvoje potomstvo brojnim poput zvijezda na nebu i pijeska na obali morskoj! A tvoji će potomci osvajati vrata svojih neprijatelja.
I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.
18 Budući da si poslušao moju zapovijed, svi će se narodi zemlje blagoslivljati tvojim potomstvom.”
And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
19 Zatim se Abraham vrati k svojim slugama pa se zajedno upute u Beer Šebu. U Beer Šebi se Abraham nastani.
Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.
20 Poslije tih događaja obavijeste Abrahama: “I tvome bratu Nahoru Milka je porodila djecu:
Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:
21 njegova prvorođenca Usa, brata mu Buza i Kemuela - oca Aramova,
Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),
22 Keseda, Haza, Pildaša, Jidlafa i Betuela.”
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 Betuel je bio otac Rebekin. Njih je osam rodila Milka Nahoru, Abrahamovu bratu.
And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
24 A i njegova suložnica, kojoj bijaše ime Reuma, rodila je Tebaha, Gahama, Tahaša i Maaku.
Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
