Postanak 24
1 Abraham bijaše već ostario, zašao u godine, Jahve je Abrahama blagoslovio u svemu.
Abraham was olde and stryken in dayes and the LORde had blessed him in all thinges.
2 Abraham prozbori svome najstarijem sluzi u kući, pod čijom je upravom bilo sve njegovo: “Stavi svoju ruku pod moje stegno
And he sayde vnto his eldest servaunte of his house which had the rule over all that he had: Put thy hande vnder my thye that
3 da te zakunem Jahvom, Bogom neba i Bogom zemlje, da mome sinu nećeš nabaviti za ženu ni jednu od kćeri Kanaanaca, među kojima boravim,
I maye make the swere by the LORde that is God of heauen and God of the erth that thou shalt not take a wyfe vnto my sonne of the doughters of the canaanytes amonge which I dwell.
4 nego ćeš otići u moj rodni kraj i dobaviti ženu mom sinu Izaku.”
But shalt goo vnto my contre and to my kynred and there take a wyfe vnto my sonne Isaac.
5 A sluga mu reče: “A što ako žena ne htjedne za mnom ići u ovu zemlju? Hoću li ja onda odvesti tvoga sina u zemlju iz koje si ti došao?”
Tha sayde the seruaunte vnto him: what ad yf the woma wyll not agree to come with me vnto this lade shall I brynge thy sonne agayne vnto the lande which thou camest out of:
6 Abraham mu odgovori: “Dobro pripazi da onamo ne vodiš moga sina!
And Abraha sayde vnto him: bewarre of that that thou brige not my sonne thither.
7 Jahve, Bog nebesa, koji me odveo iz kuće moga oca i rodnog kraja i koji mi je pod zakletvom obećao: 'Tvome ću potomstvu dati ovu zemlju', pred tobom će poslati svog anđela, i odande ćeš ti dovesti ženu mome sinu.
The LORde God of heauen which toke me from my fathers house and from the lande where I was borne and which spake vnto me and sware vnto me saynge: vnto thy seed wyll I geue this lande he shall sende his angell before the yt thou mayst take a wife vnto my sonne from thence.
8 A ako žena ne bude htjela za tobom poći, ti ćeš biti oslobođen od ove moje zakletve; ali moga sina onamo ne vodi!”
Neuerthelesse yf the woma will not agree to come with the than shalt thou be with out daunger of this ooth. But aboue all thinge brynge not my sonne thyther agayne.
9 Tako sluga stavi svoju ruku pod stegno Abrahamu, svom gospodaru, te mu se zakune.
And the seruaunte put his hand vnder the thye of Abraham and sware to him as concernynge that matter.
10 Sluga opremi deset gospodarevih deva, ponese sa sobom svakog blaga svoga gospodara pa se zaputi u Aram Naharajim, u Nahorov grad.
And the seruaunte toke. x. camels of the camels of his master and departed and had of all maner goodes of his master with him and stode vp and went to Mesopotamia vnto the cytie of Nahor.
11 Pusti deve da poliježu izvan grada, pokraj studenca. Bijaše večer, kad žene izlaze da crpu vodu.
And made his camels to lye doune with out the cytie by a wels syde of water at euen: aboute the tyme that women come out to drawe water
12 Onda reče: “Oh, Jahve, Bože moga gospodara Abrahama, molim te, iziđi mi danas u susret i mome gospodaru Abrahamu milost iskaži!
and he sayde. LORde God of my master Abraha sende me good spede this daye and shewe mercy vnto my master Abraham.
13 Evo me kraj studenca, a kćeri onih iz grada dolaze crpsti vodu;
Lo I stonde here by the well of water and the doughters of the men of this citie will come out to drawe water:
14 pa neka djevojka kojoj ja rečem: 'Molim te, spusti svoj vrč da se napijem', a ona odgovori: 'Pij! I deve ću ti napojiti', bude ona koju si odredio za svoga slugu Izaka. Tako ću saznati da si iskazao milost mome gospodaru.”
Now the damsell to whome I saye stoupe doune thy pytcher and let me drynke. Yf she saye drynke and I will geue thy camels drynke also yt same is she that thou hast ordened for they servaunte Isaac: yee and therby shall I knowe that thou hast shewed mercy on my master.
15 Tek što on izreče svoje, gle, dođe Rebeka, kći Betuelova; taj Betuel bijaše sin Milke, žene Abrahamova brata Nahora. Dođe ona s krčagom na ramenu.
And it came to passe yer he had leeft spakynge that Rebecca came out the doughter of Bethuell sonne to Melcha the wife of Nahor Abrahams brother and hir pytcher apon hir shulder:
16 Djevojka je bila krasna, djevica koju muškarac nije dirnuo. Siđe ona k vrelu, napuni krčag i eto je opet gore.
The damsell was very fayre to loke apon and yet a mayde and vnknowen of man. And she went doune to the well and fylled hyr pytcher and came vp agayne.
17 Sluga joj potrča u susret i reče: “Daj mi malo vode iz svog vrča!”
Then the seruaunte ranne vnto her and sayde: let me syppe a litle water of thi pither.
18 “Pij, gospodine!” - odgovori ona. Brzo spusti krčag na ruku i dade mu piti.
And she sayde: drynke my lorde. And she hasted and late downe her pytcher apon hyr arme and gaue him drinke.
19 Kad je njega napojila, reče: “Nalit ću i tvojim devama da se napoje.”
And whe she had geven hym drynke she sayde: I will drawe water for thy camels also vntill they haue dronke ynough.
20 Izlivši brzo krčag u korito, otrča natrag zdencu da ponovo zahvaća, i tako nali svim njegovim devama.
And she poured out hyr pitcher in to the trough hastely and ranne agayne vnto the well to fett water: and drewe for all his camels.
21 Čovjek ju je šutke motrio ne bi li saznao je li Jahve njegov put uspješno priveo kraju ili nije.
And the felowe wondred at her. But helde his peace to wete whether the LORde had made his iourney prosperous or not.
22 Kad su deve prestale piti, čovjek izvadi viticu od zlata, tešku pol šekela, i stavi je na njezine nosnice, a na ruke joj stavi dvije zlatne narukvice, teške deset šekela.
And as the camels had lefte drynckynge he toke an earynge of halfe a sicle weght and. ij golden bracelettes for hyr hades of. x. sycles weyght of gold
23 Zatim reče: “Kaži mi čija si kći. Ima li u kući tvoga oca mjesta za nas da prenoćimo?”
and sayde vnto her: whose doughter art thou? tell me: ys there rowme in thy fathers house for vs to lodge in?
24 Ona mu odgovori: “Ja sam kći Betuela, koga je Milka rodila Nahoru.”
And she sayde vnto him: I am the doughter of Bethuell the sonne of Milcha which she bare vnto Nahor:
25 Još mu doda: “Ima slame i p§iće kod nas u obilju, a i mjesta za prenoćište.”
and sayde moreouer vnto him: we haue litter and prauonder ynough and also rowme to lodge in.
26 Čovjek se onda duboko nakloni te iskaže poštovanje Jahvi
And the man bowed himselfe and worshipped the LORde
27 i progovori: “Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog moga gospodara Abrahama, što nije uskratio svoju ljubav i svoju vjernost mome gospodaru. Mene je Jahve vodio pravim putem, u kuću brata moga gospodara.”
and sayde: blessed be the LORde God of my master Abraham which ceasseth not to deale mercyfully and truly with my master And hath brought me the waye to my masters brothers house.
28 Djevojka otrča i sve ovo ispripovjedi u kući svoje majke.
And the damsell ranne and tolde them of her mothers house these thinges.
29 A Rebeka imala brata komu bijaše ime Laban. Laban se požuri van, k čovjeku kod studenca.
And Rebecca had a brother called Laban. And Laban ranne out vnto the man to the well:
30 Čim je vidio nosnu viticu i narukvice na rukama svoje sestre te čuo kako je njegova sestra Rebeka rekla: “Ovako mi je čovjek govorio”, on pođe onome koji je još stajao kod deva na studencu.
for as soone as he had sene the earynges and the bracelettes apon his sisters handes ad herde the wordes of Rebecca his sister saynge thus sayde the man vnto me than he went out vnto the man. And loo he stode yet with the camels by the well syde.
31 Reče on: “Hajde unutra, blagoslovljeni od Jahve! Što stojiš vani kad sam ja spremio kuću i mjesto za deve.”
And Laban sayde: come in thou blessed of the LORde. Wherfore stondest thou without? I haue dressed the house and made rowme for the camels.
32 Tako čovjek uđe u kuću. Rastovare deve i dadu im slame i p§iće, a njemu i ljudima koji su ga pratili donesu vode da operu noge.
And than the ma came in to the house. And he vnbrydeld the camels: and brought litter and prauonder for the camels and water to weshe his fete and their fete that were with him
33 Ali kad su preda nj stavili hranu, reče: “Neću jesti dok ne kažem što imam kazati.” A Laban mu reče: “Onda kazuj!”
and there was meate sett before him to eate. But he sayde: I will not eate vntill I haue sayde myne earede: And he sayde saye on.
34 “Ja sam sluga Abrahamov”, poče on.
And he sayde: I am Abrahas servaunte
35 “Jahve je uvelike blagoslovio moga gospodara te je postao bogat. Nadavao mu je ovaca i goveda, srebra i zlata, sluga i sluškinja, deva i magaradi.
and the LORDE hath blessed my master out of measure that he is become greate and hath geven him shepe oxen syluer and golde menservauntes maydeservauntes camels ad asses.
36 Sara, žena moga gospodara, rodi mu sina pošto je ostarjela, i on mu ustupi sve svoje.
And Sara my masters wyfe bare him a sonne whe she was olde: and vnto him hath he geven all that he hath.
37 Potom mene moj gospodar zakune rekavši: 'Nemoj uzeti za ženu mome sinu djevojku Kanaanku, u zemlji u kojoj boravim kao stranac,
And my master made me swere saynge: Thou shalt not take a wyfe to my sonne amonge the doughters of the cananytes in whose lade I dwell.
38 nego otiđi k obitelji moga oca, k mojoj rodbini, da nađeš ženu mome sinu.'
But thou shalt goo vnto my fathers house and to my kynred and there take a wyfe vnto my sonne.
39 A ja rekoh svome gospodaru: 'A što ako žena za mnom ne pođe?'
And I sayde vnto my master. What yf the wyfe will not folowe me?
40 On mi odgovori: 'Jahve, pred čijim sam licem hodio, poslat će s tobom svog anđela i tvoje će putovanje dovesti k cilju, a ti ćeš naći ženu mome sinu od moje rodbine, od obitelji moga oca.
And he sayde vnto me: The LORde before whome I walke wyll sende his angell with the and prosper thy iourney that thou shalt take a wyfe for my sonne of my kynred and of my fathers house.
41 Jedino ćeš ovako biti oslobođen moje zakletve: ako dođeš k mojoj rodbini, i oni te odbiju, od moje si zakletve oslobođen.'
But and yf (when thou comest vnto my kynred) they will not geue the one tha shalt thou bere no perell of myne oothe.
42 Danas dođoh na studenac i rekoh: 'Jahve, Bože moga gospodara Abrahama, ako si voljan da uspješno završim putovanje što sam ga poduzeo,
And I came this daye vnto the well and sayed: O LORde the God of my master Abraha yf it be so that thou makest my iourney which I go prosperous:
43 ja, evo, stojim kraj studenca, a djevojka koja dođe vodu crpsti i ja joj rečem: Daj mi da se napijem malo vode iz tvog vrča! -
beholde I stode by this well of water And when a virgyn cometh forth to drawe water and I saye to her: geue me a litle water of thi pitcher to drynke
44 i koja mi kaže: Pij ti, a i tvojim ću devama zahvatiti! - ona neka bude žena koju je Jahve odredio sinu moga gospodara.'
and she saye agayne to me: dryncke thou and I will also drawe water for thy camels: that same is the wife whom the LORde hath prepared for my masters sonne.
45 Tek što sam ja završio govor u sebi, kad se, evo, pojavi Rebeka s vrčem na ramenu; siđe k izvoru i zahvati. Ja joj rekoh: 'Daj mi da se napijem!'
And before I had made an ende of speakynge in myne harte: beholde Rebecca came forth and hir pitcher on hir shulder and she went doune vnto the well and drewe. And I sayde vnto her geue me drynke.
46 Ona brzo spusti vrč i odvrati: 'Pij! A napojit ću i tvoje deve.' Tako sam se ja napio, a ona napoji i moje deve.
And she made hast and toke doune hir pitcher from of hir ad sayd: drinke and I will geue thy camels drynke also. And I dranke and she gaue the camels drynke also.
47 Pitao sam je: 'Čija si kći?' Odgovorila je: 'Kći sam Betuela, koga je Nahoru rodila Milka.' Tada joj stavim viticu na nos a narukvice na ruke.
And I asked her saynge: whose doughter art thou? And she answered: the doughter of Bathuell Nahors sonne whome Milca bare vnto him. And I put the earynge vpon hir face and the bracelettes apon hir hondes.
48 Duboko se naklonim i štovanje Jahvi iskažem te blagoslovim Jahvu, Boga gospodara moga, koji me vodio pravim putem da uzmem kćer brata moga gospodara njegovu sinu.
And I bowed my selfe and worshepped the LORde and blessed the LORde God of my master Abraha which had brought me the right waye to take my masters brothers doughter vnto his sonne.
49 A sad, ako kanite iskazati ljubav i vjernost mome gospodaru, recite mi; ako li ne, to mi kažite, tako da mogu krenuti bilo desno bilo lijevo.”
Now therfore yf ye will deall mercyfully and truly with my master tell me. And yf no tell me also: that I maye turne me to the right hande or to the left.
50 Tada odgovore Laban i Betuel: “Od Jahve to dolazi; mi tu ne možemo reći ni da ni ne.
Than answered Laban and Bathuel saynge: The thinge is proceded even out of the lorde we can not therfore saye vnto the ether good or bad:
51 Rebeka je, eto, pred tobom: uzmi je pa idi, neka bude ženom sinu tvoga gospodara, kako je Jahve rekao.”
Beholde Rebecca before thy face take her and goo and let her be thy masters sonnes wife euen as the LORde hath sayde.
52 Kad Abrahamov sluga ču njihov pristanak, do zemlje se nakloni Jahvi.
And whe Abrahams servaunte herde their wordes he bowed him selfe vnto the LORde flatt vpon the erth.
53 Sluga zatim izvadi srebrnih i zlatnih predmeta te haljina i dade ih Rebeki, a dade darova i njezinu bratu i majci.
And the servaunte toke forth iewells of syluer and iewelles of gold and rayment and gaue them to Rebecca: But vnto hir brother and to hir mother he gaue spyces.
54 Tada jedoše i piše on i ljudi koji su bili s njim i provedoše noć. Kad su ujutro ustali, on reče: “Pustite me da se vratim svome gospodaru!”
And then they ate and dranke both he and the men that were with him and taried all nyghte and rose vp in the mornynge. And he sayde: let me departe vnto my master.
55 A njezin brat i majka odgovore: “Neka djevojka ostane s nama još desetak dana, pa poslije toga pođi!”
But hir brother and hir mother sayde: let the damsell abyde with vs a while ad it be but even. x. dayes and than goo thy wayes.
56 On im reče: “Ne zadržavajte me kad je Jahve moje putovanje uspješno kraju priveo. Pustite me da se vratim svome gospodaru!”
And he sayde vnto them hinder me not: for the lorde hath prospered my iourney. Sende me awaye yt I maye goo vnto my master.
57 Oni odgovore: “Pozovimo djevojku i upitajmo što ona misli!”
And they sayde: let vs call the damsell and witt what she sayth to the matter.
58 Dozovu Rebeku pa je upitaju: “Hoćeš li poći s ovim čovjekom?” Ona odgovori: “Hoću.”
And they called forth Rebecca ad sayde vnto her: wilt thou goo with this ma? And she sayde: Yee.
59 I tako otpreme svoju sestru Rebeku i njezinu dojilju s Abrahamovim slugom i njegovim ljudima.
Than they broughte Rebecca their sister on the waye and her norse and Abrahas servaunte and the men that were wyth him.
60 Blagoslove Rebeku i reknu joj: “Sejo naša, budi mati nebrojenim tisućama, a dušmana svojih vrata potomci ti zaposjeli!”
And they blessed Rebecca and sayde vnto her: Thou art oure sister growe in to thousande thousandes and thy seed possesse ye gates of their emnies.
61 Onda se diže Rebeka i njezine dvorkinje, zajahaše deve te pođoše za čovjekom. Tako sluga preuze Rebeku i ode.
And Rebecca arose and hir damsels and satt the vp apo the camels and went their waye after the man. And ye servaunte toke Rebecca and went his waye
62 Izak se vratio iz blizine Beer Lahaj Roja; živio je, naime, u kraju Negeba.
And Isaac was a comige from the well of ye lyvynge and seynge for he dwelt in the south cotre
63 U predvečerje iziđe Izak da se poljem prošeta; diže oči i ugleda deve gdje dolaze.
and was gone out to walke in his meditatios before ye eue tyde. And he lyfte vp his eyes and loked and beholde ye camels were cominge.
64 Kad Rebeka, podigavši svoje oči, opazi Izaka, sjaha s deve
And Rebecca lyfte vp hir eyes and whe she sawe Isaac she lyghted of the camel
65 pa zapita slugu: “Tko je onaj čovjek što poljem ide nama u susret?” A sluga odgovori: “Ono je moj gospodar.” Nato ona uze koprenu te se pokri.
ad sayde vnto ye servaunte: what ma is this yt cometh agenst vs in the feld? And the servaute sayde: it is my master. And then she toke hir mantell ad put it aboute her.
66 Sluga ispriča Izaku sve što je učinio.
And the servaute tolde Isaac all that he had done.
67 Tada Izak uvede Rebeku u svoj šator i uze je sebi za ženu. U ljubavi prema njoj Izak je nalazio utjehu nakon smrti svoje majke.
The Isaac broughte her in to his mother Saras tente ad toke Rebecca and she became his wife and he loved her: and so was Isaac coforted over his mother.
