Genesis 24
1 And Abraham was old, well stricken in age. And Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things.
А Аврам беше стар и временит, и Господ беше благословио Аврама у свему;
2 And Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, Put thy hand, I pray thee, under my thigh.
И рече Аврам слузи свом најстаријем у кући својој, који беше над свим добром његовим: Метни руку своју под стегно моје,
3 And I will make thee swear by Jehovah, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou will not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell.
Да те закунем Господом Богом небеским и Богом земаљским да нећеш довести жене сину мом између кћери ових Хананеја, међу којима живим;
4 But thou shall go to my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.
Него да ћеш отићи у земљу моју и у род мој и довести жену сину мом Исаку.
5 And the servant said to him, Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I bring thy son again to the land from where thou came?
А слуга му рече: и ако девојка не хтедбуде поћи са мном у ову земљу; хоћу ли одвести сина твог у земљу из које си се иселио?
6 And Abraham said to him, Beware thou that thou not bring my son there again.
А Аврам му рече: Пази да не одведеш сина мог онамо.
7 Jehovah, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my nativity, and who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, To thy seed I will give this land, he will send his agent before thee, and thou shall take a wife for my son from there.
Господ Бог небески, који ме је узео из дома оца мог и из земље рода мог, и који ми је рекао и заклео ми се говорећи: Семену ћу твом дати земљу ову, Он ће послати анђела свог пред тобом да доведеш жену сину мом оданде.
8 And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shall be clear from this my oath. Only thou shall not bring my son there again.
Ако ли девојка не хтедбуде поћи с тобом, онда да ти је проста заклетва моја; само сина мог немој одвести онамо.
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
И метну слуга руку своју под стегно Авраму господару свом, и закле му се за ово.
10 And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed, having all goodly things of his master's in his hand. And he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
Тада слуга узе десет камила између камила господара свог да иде, јер све благо господара његовог беше под његовом руком; и отишавши дође у Месопотамију до града Нахоровог.
11 And he made the camels to kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
И пусти камиле да полежу иза града код студенца пред вече кад излазе грађанке да захватају воде;
12 And he said, O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, send me, I pray thee, good speed this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
И рече: Господе Боже господара мог Аврама, дај ми срећу данас и учини милост господару мом Авраму.
13 Behold, I am standing by the fountain of water. And the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
Ево, ја ћу стајати код овог студенца, а грађанке ће доћи да захватају воде.
14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink. And she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also. Let the same be she that thou have appointed for thy servant Isaac. And thereby I shall know that thou have shown kindness to my master.
Којој девојци кажем: Нагни крчаг свој да се напијем, а она рече: На пиј, и камиле ћу ти напојити; дај то да буде она коју си наменио слузи свом Исаку; и по томе да познам да си учинио милост господару мом.
15 And it came to pass, before he was done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
И он још не изговори, а то Ревека, кћи Ватуила сина Мелхе жене Нахора брата Аврамовог, дође с крчагом на рамену.
16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her. And she went down to the fountain, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
И беше врло лепа, још девојка, још је човек не беше познао. Она сиђе на извор, и наточи крчаг, и пође;
17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher.
А слуга искочи пред њу, и рече; дај ми да се напијем мало воде из крчага твог.
18 And she said, Drink, my lord. And she hurried, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
А она рече: На пиј, господару. И брже спусти крчаг на руку своју, и напоји га.
19 And when she had finished giving him drink, she said, I will draw for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
И кад га напоји, рече: и камилама ћу твојим налити нека се напију.
20 And she hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
И брже изручи крчаг свој у појило, па опет отрча на студенац да налије, и нали свим камилама његовим.
21 And the man looked steadfastly on her, keeping silent, to know whether Jehovah had made his journey prosperous or not.
А човек јој се дивљаше, и ћуташе, неће ли познати је ли Господ дао срећу путу његовом или није.
22 And it came to pass, as the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,
А кад се камиле напише, извади човек златну гривну од по сикала и метну јој око чела, и две наруквице метну јој на руке од десет сикала злата.
23 and said, Whose daughter are thou? Tell me, I pray thee. Is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?
И рече: Чија си кћи? Кажи ми. Има ли у кући оца твог места за нас да преноћимо?
24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.
А она му рече: Ја сам кћи Ватуила сина Мелшиног, кога роди Нахору.
25 She said moreover to him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
Још рече: Има у нас много сламе и пиће и места за ноћиште.
26 And the man bowed his head, and worshiped Jehovah.
Тада човек савивши се поклони се Господу,
27 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Jehovah has led me in the way to the house of my master's brothers.
И рече: Благословен да је Господ Бог господара мог Аврама, што не остави милост своју и веру своју према господару мом, и путем доведе ме Господ у дом родбине господара мог.
28 And the damsel ran, and told her mother's house according to these words.
А девојка отрча и све ово каза у дому матере своје.
29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. And Laban ran out to the man, to the fountain.
А Ревека имаше брата, коме име беше Лаван; и истрча Лаван к човеку на студенац,
30 And it came to pass, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man to me, that he came to the man. And, behold, he was standing by the camels at the fountain.
Како виде гривну и наруквице на рукама сестре своје и чу где Ревека сестра му рече: Тако ми каза човек; дође к човеку; а он стајаше код камила на студенцу.
31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of Jehovah. Why do thou stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
И рече: Ходи, који си благословен од Господа; што би стајао напољу? Спремио сам кућу, има места и за камиле.
32 And the man came into the house, and he ungirded the camels. And he gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
И доведе човека у кућу, и растовари камиле; и додаше сламе и пиће камилама, и донесоше воде за ноге њему и људима што беху с њим;
33 And there was set before him food to eat. But he said, I will not eat until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.
И поставише му да једе; али он рече: Нећу јести докле не кажем ствар своју. А Лаван му рече: Говори.
34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
Тада рече: Ја сам слуга Аврамов.
35 And Jehovah has blessed my master greatly, and he has become great. And he has given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and men-servants and maid-servants, and camels and donkeys.
А Господ је благословио господара мог веома, те је постао велик, и дао му је оваца и говеда, и сребра и злата, и слуга и слушкиња, и камила и магараца.
36 And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old. And has he given to him all that he has.
И још Сара жена господара мог роди сина господару мом у старости његовој, и он му даде све што има.
37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell,
А мене закле господар мој говорећи: Немој довести сину мом жене између кћери ових Хананеја, међу којима живим;
38 but thou shall go to my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son.
Него иди у дом оца мог и у род мој, да доведеш жену сину мом.
39 And I said to my master, Perhaps the woman will not follow me.
А ја рекох господару свом:
40 And he said to me, Jehovah, before whom I walk, will send his agent with thee, and prosper thy way. And thou shall take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house.
Може бити да девојка неће хтети поћи са мном.
41 Then thou shall be clear from my oath, when thou come to my kindred. And if they do not give her to thee, thou shall be clear from my oath.
А он ми рече: Господ, по чијој вољи свагда живех, послаће анђела свог с тобом, и даће срећу твом путу да доведеш жену сину мом од рода мог, из дома оца мог.
42 And I came this day to the fountain, and said, O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, if thou do now prosper my way which I go,
Онда ће ти бити проста заклетва моја, кад отидеш у род мој; ако ти је и не даду, опет ће ти бити проста заклетва моја.
43 behold, I am standing by the fountain of water, and let it come to pass, that the maiden who comes forth to draw, to whom I shall say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher to drink,
И кад дођох данас на студенац, рекох: Господе Боже господара мог Аврама, ако си дао срећу путу мом, којим идем,
44 and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels, let the same be the woman whom Jehovah has appointed for my master's son.
Ево, ја ћу стајати код студенца: која девојка дође да захвати воде, и ја јој кажем: Дај ми да се напијем мало воде из крчага твог,
45 And before I was done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder. And she went down to the fountain, and drew. And I said to her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
А она ми одговори: и ти пиј и камилама ћу твојим налити; то нека буде жена коју је наменио Господ сину господара мог.
46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also. So I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
Ја још не изговорих у срцу свом, а дође Ревека с крчагом на рамену, и сишавши на извор захвати; и ја јој рекох: Дај ми да се напијем.
47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him. And I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands.
А она брже спустивши са себе крчаг рече: На пиј, и камиле ћу ти напојити. И кад се напих, напоји и камиле моје.
48 And I bowed my head, and worshiped Jehovah, and blessed Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.
И запитах је говорећи: Чија си кћи? А она одговори: Ја сам кћи Ватуила сина Нахоровог, ког му роди Мелха. Тада јој метнух гривну око чела и наруквице на руке;
49 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. And if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
И падох и поклоних се Господу, и захвалих Господу Богу господара мог Аврама, што ме доведе правим путем да нађем кћер брата господара свог за сина његовог.
50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from Jehovah; we cannot speak to thee bad or good.
Ако ћете дакле учинити љубав и веру господару мом, кажите ми; ако ли нећете, кажите ми, да идем на десно или на лево.
51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as Jehovah has spoken.
А Лаван и Ватуило одговарајући рекоше: Од Господа је ово дошло; ми ти не можемо казати ни зло ни добро. Ето, Ревека је у твојој власти, узми је па иди, и нека буде жена сину твог господара, као што каза Господ.
52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Jehovah.
А кад чу слуга Аврамов речи њихове, поклони се Господу до земље;
53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother.
И извади закладе сребрне и златне и хаљине, и даде Ревеци; такође и брату њеном и матери њеној даде дарове.
54 And they ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and tarried all night. And they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away to my master.
Потом једоше и пише он и људи који беху с њим, и преноћише. А кад ујутру усташе, рече слуга: Пустите ме господару мом.
55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten. After that she shall go.
А брат и мати њена рекоше: Нека остане девојка код нас који дан, барем десет дана, па онда нека иде.
56 And he said to them, Do not hinder me, since Jehovah has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.
А он им рече: Немојте ме задржавати, кад је Господ дао срећу мом путу; пустите ме да идем господару свом.
57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
Тада рекоше: Да зовемо девојку, и упитамо шта она вели.
58 And they called Rebekah, and said to her, Will thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
И дозваше Ревеку и рекоше јој: Хоћеш ићи с овим човеком? А она одговори: Хоћу.
59 And they sent Rebekah their sister away, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
И пустише Ревеку сестру своју и дојкињу њену са слугом Аврамовим и људима његовим.
60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, Our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let thy seed possess the gate of those who hate them.
И благословише Ревеку и рекоше јој: Сестро наша, да се намножиш на хиљаде хиљада, и семе твоје да наследи врата својих непријатеља!
61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man. And the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
И подиже се Ревека с девојкама својим, и поседаше на камиле, и пођоше с човеком; и слуга узевши Ревеку отиде.
62 And Isaac came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi, for he dwelt in the land of the South.
А Исак иђаше враћајући се од студенца Живога који ме виде јер живљаше у јужном крају;
63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. And he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming.
А беше изашао Исак у поље пред вече да се помоли Богу; и подигавши очи своје угледа камиле где иду.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she alighted from the camel.
И Ревека подигавши очи своје угледа Исака, те скочи с камиле,
65 And she said to the servant, What man is this who walks in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It is my master. And she took her veil, and covered herself.
И рече слузи: Ко је онај човек што иде преко поља пред нас? А слуга рече: Оно је господар мој. И она узе покривало и покри лице.
66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
И приповеди слуга Исаку све што је свршио.
67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
И одведе је Исак у шатор Саре матере своје; и узе Ревеку, и она му поста жена, и омиле му. И Исак се утеши за матером својом.
