Genesis 21
1 Then the Lord visited Sarah, just as he had promised; and he fulfilled what he had spoken.
Jahve se sjeti Sare kako je rekao i učini joj kako je obećao:
2 And she conceived and gave birth to a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold to her.
Sara zače i rodi Abrahamu sina u njegovoj starosti - u vrijeme koje je Bog označio.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sarah bore for him, Isaac.
Abraham nadjene ime Izak svome sinu što mu ga Sara rodi.
4 And he circumcised him on the eighth day, just as God had instructed him,
I poslije osam dana obreza Abraham svoga sina Izaka, kako mu je Bog naredio.
5 when he was one hundred years old. Indeed, at this stage of his father’s life, Isaac was born.
Abrahamu bijaše stotinu godina kad mu se rodio sin Izak.
6 And Sarah said: “God has brought laughter to me. Whoever will hear of it will laugh with me.”
Sara reče: “Dade mi Bog da se nasmijem, i tko god to čuje nasmijat će mi se.”
7 And again, she said: “Hearing this, who would believe Abraham, that Sarah breast-fed a son, to whom she gave birth, despite being elderly?”
Još doda: “Tko bi ikad rekao Abrahamu: djecu će ti Sara dojiti! Ipak sina mu rodih u starosti”.
8 And the boy grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
Dijete je raslo i bilo od sise odbijeno. A u dan u koji Izak bijaše od sise odbijen Abraham priredi veliku gozbu.
9 And when Sarah had seen the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with her son Isaac, she said to Abraham:
Jednom opazi Sara gdje se sin koga je Egipćanka Hagara Abrahamu rodila igra s njezinim sinom Izakom,
10 “Cast out this woman servant and her son. For the son of a woman servant will not be heir with my son Isaac.”
pa reče Abrahamu: “Otjeraj tu sluškinju i njezina sina, jer sin sluškinje ne smije biti baštinik s mojim sinom - s Izakom!”
11 Abraham took this grievously, for the sake of his son.
To je Abrahamu bilo nemilo, jer je i Jišmael bio njegov sin.
12 And God said to him: “Let it not seem harsh to you concerning the boy and your woman servant. In all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be invoked in Isaac.
Ali Bog reče Abrahamu: “Nemoj se uznemirivati zbog dječaka i zbog svoje sluškinje; sve što ti kaže Sara poslušaj, jer će Izakovo potomstvo tebi ovjekovječiti ime.
13 Yet I will also make the son of the woman servant into a great nation, for he is your offspring.”
I od sina tvoje sluškinje podići ću velik narod, jer je tvoj potomak.”
14 And so Abraham arose in the morning, and taking bread and a skin of water, he placed it upon her shoulder, and he handed over the boy, and he released her. And when she had departed, she wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
Rano ujutro Abraham uze kruha i mješinicu vode pa dade Hagari; stavi to na njezina ramena, zajedno s dječakom, te je otpusti. Vrludala je amo-tamo po pustinji Beer Šebe.
15 And when the water in the skin had been consumed, she set aside the boy, under one of the trees that were there.
Potrošivši vodu iz mješinice, ostavi dijete pod jednim grmom,
16 And she moved away and sat in a distant area, as far as a bow can reach. For she said, “I shall not see the boy die.” And so, sitting opposite her, he lifted up his voice and wept.
a sama ode i sjede nasuprot, daleko koliko luk može dobaciti. Govorila je u sebi: “Neću da vidim kako dijete umire.” Sjedeći tako, udari u jecanje.
17 But God heard the voice of the boy. And an Angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, saying: “What are you doing, Hagar? Do not be afraid. For God has heeded the voice of the boy, from the place where he is.
Bog ču plač dječaka te anđeo Božji zovne s neba Hagaru i reče joj: “Što ti je, Hagaro? Ne boj se! Jer je Bog čuo plač dječaka u njegovoj nevolji.
18 Rise up. Take the boy and hold him by the hand. For I will make of him a great nation.”
Na noge! Digni dječaka i utješi ga, jer od njega ću podići velik narod.”
19 And God opened her eyes. And seeing a well of water, she went and filled the skin, and she gave the boy to drink.
Tada joj Bog otvori oči pa ona opazi studenac. Ode i napuni vodom mješinicu pa napoji dječaka.
20 And God was with him. And he grew, and he stayed in the wilderness, and he became a young man, an archer.
Bog je bio s dječakom te je rastao i odrastao. Živio je u pustinji te postao vješt u strijeljanju iz luka.
21 And he lived in the desert of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
Dom mu bijaše u pustinji Paranu; a njegova mu majka dobavi ženu iz zemlje egipatske.
22 At the same time, Abimelech and Phicol, the leader of his army, said to Abraham: “God is with you in everything that you do.
U to vrijeme Abimelek - koga je pratio Fikol, zapovjednik njegove vojske - reče Abrahamu: “Bog je s tobom u svemu što radiš.
23 Therefore, swear by God that you will do no harm to me, and to my posterity, and to my stock. But according to the mercy that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land, to which you have turned as a newcomer.”
Stoga mi se ovdje i sada zakuni Bogom da nećeš varati ni mene ni moju rodbinu i prijatelje nego da ćeš se prema meni i prema zemlji u kojoj sad boraviš ponašati pošteno, kao što sam se ja prema tebi ponio.”
24 And Abraham said, “I will swear.”
“Kunem se”, odgovori Abraham.
25 And he reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
Onda Abraham prekori Abimeleka zbog zdenca vode što su ga Abimelekove sluge bile prisvojile.
26 And Abimelech responded, “I do not know who did this thing, but you also did not reveal it to me, nor have I heard of it, before today.”
A Abimelek reče: “Ne znam tko je to učinio; ni ti me nisi o tome obavijestio, niti sam ja o tome čuo, osim danas.”
27 And so Abraham took sheep and oxen, and he gave them to Abimelech. And both of them struck a pact.
Abraham uzme ovaca i goveda pa ih dade Abimeleku te njih dvojica sklope savez.
28 And Abraham set aside seven female lambs from the flock.
Potom Abraham razluči napose sedam janjaca od stada.
29 Abimelech said to him, “What purpose have these seven female lambs, which you have caused to stand separately?”
Nato Abimelek zapita Abrahama: “Što znači ovih sedam janjaca koje si na stranu stavio?”
30 But he said, “You will receive seven female lambs from my hand, so that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.”
A on odgovori: “Primi ovih sedam janjaca iz moje ruke da mi bude dokazom da sam ja iskopao ovaj zdenac.”
31 For this reason, that place was called Beersheba, because there both of them did swear.
Zato se ono mjesto nazvalo Beer Šeba; jer se njih dvojica ondje zakleše.
32 And they initiated a pact on behalf of the well of oath.
Pošto su sklopili savez kod Beer Šebe, Abimelek i zapovjednik njegove vojske Fikol odu i vrate se u zemlju Filistejaca.
33 Then Abimelech and Phicol, the leader of his army, rose up, and they returned to the land of the Palestinians. In truth, Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the Lord God Eternal.
Abraham zasadi kod Beer Šebe tamarisku i ondje zazove ime Jahve - Boga Vječnoga.
34 And he was a settler in the land of the Palestinians for many days.
Dugo je vremena Abraham proveo u zemlji filistejskoj kao pridošlica.
