Genesis 18
1 Then the LORD appeared to Abraham by the Oaks of Mamre in the heat of the day, while he was sitting at the entrance of his tent.
Poslije mu se javi Gospod u ravnici Mamrijskoj kad sjeðaše na vratima pred šatorom svojim u podne.
2 And Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he ran from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
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 “My lord,” said Abraham, “if I have found favor in your sight, please do not pass your servant by.
I reèe: Gospode, ako sam našao milost pred tobom, nemoj proæi sluge svojega.
4 Let a little water be brought, that you may 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 bring a bit of bread so that you may refresh yourselves. This is why you have passed your servant’s way. After that, you may continue on your way.” “Yes,” they replied, “you may do as you have said.”
I iznijeæu malo hljeba, te potkrijepite srce svoje, pa onda poðite, kad idete pored sluge svojega. I rekoše: uèini što si kazao.
6 So Abraham hurried into the tent and said to Sarah, “Quick! Prepare three seahs of fine flour, knead it, and bake some bread.”
I Avram otrèa u šator k Sari, i reèe: brže zamijesi tri kopanje bijeloga brašna i ispeci pogaèe.
7 Meanwhile, Abraham ran to the herd, selected a tender and choice calf, and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it.
Pa otrèa ka govedima i uhvati tele mlado i dobro, i dade ga momku da ga brže zgotovi.
8 Then Abraham brought curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and he set them before the men and stood by them under the tree as they ate.
Pa onda iznese masla i mlijeka i tele koje bješe zgotovio, i postavi im, a sam stajaše pred njima pod drvetom dokle jeðahu.
9 “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked. “There, in the tent,” he replied.
I oni mu rekoše: gdje je Sara žena tvoja? A on reèe: eno je pod šatorom.
10 Then the LORD said, “I will surely return to you at this time next year, and your wife Sarah will have a son!” Now Sarah was behind him, listening at the entrance to the tent.
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 And Abraham and Sarah were already old and well along in years; Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
A Avram i Sara bijahu stari i vremeniti, i u Sare bješe prestalo što biva u žena.
12 So she laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?”
Zato se nasmija Sara u sebi govoreæi: pošto sam ostarjela, sad li æe mi doæi radost? a i gospodar mi je star.
13 And the LORD asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Can I really bear a child when I am old?’
Tada reèe Gospod Avramu: što se smije Sara govoreæi: istina li je da æu roditi kad sam ostarjela?
14 Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you—in about a year—and Sarah will have a son.”
Ima li što teško Gospodu? Do godine u ovo doba opet æu doæi k tebi, a Sara æe imati sina.
15 But Sarah was afraid, so she denied it and said, “I did not laugh.” “No,” replied the LORD, “but you did laugh.”
A Sara udari u bah govoreæi: nijesam se smijala. Jer se uplaši. Ali on reèe: nije istina, nego si se smijala.
16 When the men got up to leave, they looked out over Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them off.
Potom ustaše ljudi odande, i poðoše put Sodoma; i Avram poðe s njima da ih isprati.
17 And the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?
A Gospod reèe: kako bih tajio od Avrama šta æu uèiniti,
18 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and through him all the nations of the earth will be blessed.
Kad æe od Avrama postati velik i silan narod, i u njemu æe se blagosloviti svi narodi na zemlji?
19 For I have chosen him, so that he will command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, in order that the LORD may bring upon Abraham what He has promised.”
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 Then the LORD said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great. Because their sin is so grievous,
I reèe Gospod: vika je u Sodomu i Gomoru velika, i grijeh je njihov grdan.
21 I will go down to see if their actions fully justify the outcry that has reached Me. If not, I will find out.”
Zato æu siæi da vidim eda li sve èine kao što vika doðe preda me; ako li nije tako, da znam.
22 And the two men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD.
I ljudi okrenuvši se poðoše put Sodoma; ali Avram još stajaše pred Gospodom,
23 Abraham stepped forward and said, “Will You really sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
I pristupiv Avram reèe: hoæeš li pogubiti i pravednoga s nepravednim?
24 What if there are fifty righteous ones in the city? Will You really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous ones who are there?
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 Far be it from You to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Will not the Judge of all the earth do what is 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 So the LORD replied, “If I find fifty righteous ones within the city of Sodom, on their account I will spare the whole place.”
I reèe Gospod: ako naðem u Sodomu pedeset pravednika u gradu, oprostiæu cijelom mjestu njih radi.
27 Then Abraham answered, “Now that I have ventured to speak to the Lord—though I am but dust and ashes—
A Avram odgovori i reèe: gle, sada bih progovorio Gospodu, ako i jesam prah i pepeo.
28 suppose the fifty righteous ones lack five. Will You destroy the whole city for the lack of five?” He replied, “If I find forty-five there, I will not destroy it.”
Može biti pravednika pedeset manje pet, hoæeš li za ovijeh pet zatrti sav grad? Odgovori: neæu, ako naðem èetrdeset i pet.
29 Once again Abraham spoke to the LORD, “Suppose forty are found there?” He answered, “On account of the forty, I will not do it.”
I stade dalje govoriti, i reèe: može biti da æe se naæi èetrdeset. Reèe: neæu radi onijeh èetrdeset.
30 Then Abraham said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak further. Suppose thirty are found there?” He replied, “If I find thirty there, I will not do it.”
Potom reèe: nemoj se gnjeviti, Gospode, što æu reæi; može biti da æe se naæi trideset. I reèe: neæu, ako naðem trideset.
31 And Abraham said, “Now that I have ventured to speak to the Lord, suppose twenty are found there?” He answered, “On account of the twenty, I will not destroy it.”
Opet reèe: gle, sada bih progovorio Gospodu; može biti da æe se naæi dvadeset. Reèe: neæu ih pogubiti za onijeh dvadeset.
32 Finally, Abraham said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak once more. Suppose ten are found there?” And He answered, “On account of the ten, I will not destroy it.”
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 When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, He departed, and Abraham returned home.
I Gospod otide svršivši razgovor s Avramom; a Avram se vrati na svoje mjesto.
