Genesis 18
1 And Jehovah appeared unto him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
Poslije mu se javi Gospod u ravnici Mamrijskoj kad sjeðaše na vratima pred šatorom svojim u podne.
2 and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood over against him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,
Podigavši oèi svoje pogleda, i gle, tri èovjeka stajahu prema njemu. I ugledavši ih potrèa im na susret ispred vrata šatora svojega, i pokloni se do zemlje;
3 and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
I reèe: Gospode, ako sam našao milost pred tobom, nemoj proæi sluge svojega.
4 let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
Da vam donesemo malo vode i operite noge, te se naslonite malo pod ovijem drvetom.
5 and I will fetch a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart; after that ye shall pass on: forasmuch as ye are come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
I iznijeæu malo hljeba, te potkrijepite srce svoje, pa onda poðite, kad idete pored sluge svojega. I rekoše: uèini što si kazao.
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.
I Avram otrèa u šator k Sari, i reèe: brže zamijesi tri kopanje bijeloga brašna i ispeci pogaèe.
7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto the servant; and he hasted to dress it.
Pa otrèa ka govedima i uhvati tele mlado i dobro, i dade ga momku da ga brže zgotovi.
8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
Pa onda iznese masla i mlijeka i tele koje bješe zgotovio, i postavi im, a sam stajaše pred njima pod drvetom dokle jeðahu.
9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
I oni mu rekoše: gdje je Sara žena tvoja? A on reèe: eno je pod šatorom.
10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee when the season cometh round; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
A jedan izmeðu njih reèe: do godine u ovo doba opet æu doæi k tebi, a Sara æe žena tvoja imati sina. A Sara slušaše na vratima od šatora iza njega.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, [and] well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
A Avram i Sara bijahu stari i vremeniti, i u Sare bješe prestalo što biva u žena.
12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
Zato se nasmija Sara u sebi govoreæi: pošto sam ostarjela, sad li æe mi doæi radost? a i gospodar mi je star.
13 And Jehovah said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old?
Tada reèe Gospod Avramu: što se smije Sara govoreæi: istina li je da æu roditi kad sam ostarjela?
14 Is anything too hard for Jehovah? At the set time I will return unto thee, when the season cometh round, and Sarah shall have a son.
Ima li što teško Gospodu? Do godine u ovo doba opet æu doæi k tebi, a Sara æe imati sina.
15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
A Sara udari u bah govoreæi: nijesam se smijala. Jer se uplaši. Ali on reèe: nije istina, nego si se smijala.
16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Potom ustaše ljudi odande, i poðoše put Sodoma; i Avram poðe s njima da ih isprati.
17 And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do;
A Gospod reèe: kako bih tajio od Avrama šta æu uèiniti,
18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Kad æe od Avrama postati velik i silan narod, i u njemu æe se blagosloviti svi narodi na zemlji?
19 For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Jer znam da æe zapovjediti sinovima svojima i domu svojemu nakon sebe da se drže putova Gospodnjih i da èine što je pravo i dobro, da bi Gospod navršio na Avramu što mu je obeæao.
20 And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
I reèe Gospod: vika je u Sodomu i Gomoru velika, i grijeh je njihov grdan.
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
Zato æu siæi da vidim eda li sve èine kao što vika doðe preda me; ako li nije tako, da znam.
22 And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before Jehovah.
I ljudi okrenuvši se poðoše put Sodoma; ali Avram još stajaše pred Gospodom,
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou consume the righteous with the wicked?
I pristupiv Avram reèe: hoæeš li pogubiti i pravednoga s nepravednim?
24 Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
Može biti da ima pedeset pravednika u gradu; hoæeš li i njih pogubiti, i neæeš oprostiti mjestu za onijeh pedeset pravednika što su u njemu?
25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from thee: shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
Nemoj to èiniti, ni gubiti pravednika s nepravednikom, da bude pravedniku kao i nepravedniku; nemoj; eda li sudija cijele zemlje neæe suditi pravo?
26 And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.
I reèe Gospod: ako naðem u Sodomu pedeset pravednika u gradu, oprostiæu cijelom mjestu njih radi.
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes:
A Avram odgovori i reèe: gle, sada bih progovorio Gospodu, ako i jesam prah i pepeo.
28 peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty and five.
Može biti pravednika pedeset manje pet, hoæeš li za ovijeh pet zatrti sav grad? Odgovori: neæu, ako naðem èetrdeset i pet.
29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty’s sake.
I stade dalje govoriti, i reèe: može biti da æe se naæi èetrdeset. Reèe: neæu radi onijeh èetrdeset.
30 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
Potom reèe: nemoj se gnjeviti, Gospode, što æu reæi; može biti da æe se naæi trideset. I reèe: neæu, ako naðem trideset.
31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake.
Opet reèe: gle, sada bih progovorio Gospodu; može biti da æe se naæi dvadeset. Reèe: neæu ih pogubiti za onijeh dvadeset.
32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.
Najposlije reèe: nemoj se gnjeviti, Gospode, što æu još jednom progovoriti; može biti da æe se naæi deset. Reèe: neæu ih pogubiti radi onijeh deset.
33 And Jehovah went his way, as soon as he had left off communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
I Gospod otide svršivši razgovor s Avramom; a Avram se vrati na svoje mjesto.
