Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said to him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
Poslije tih događaja Bog stavi Abrahama na kušnju. Zovnu ga: “Abrahame!” On odgovori: “Evo me!”
2 And he said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and get you into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.
Bog nastavi: “Uzmi svoga sina, jedinca svoga Izaka koga ljubiš, i pođi u krajinu Moriju pa ga ondje prinesi kao žrtvu paljenicu na brdu koje ću ti pokazati.”
3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
Ujutro Abraham podrani, osamari magarca, sa sobom povede dvojicu svojih slugu i svog sina Izaka, pošto je prije nacijepao drva za žrtvu paljenicu, i uputi se na mjesto koje mu je Bog označio.
4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Treći dan Abraham podigne oči i opazi mjesto izdaleka.
5 And Abraham said to his young men, Abide you here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
Abraham onda reče slugama: “Vi ostanite ovdje uz magarca, a ja i dječak odosmo gore da se poklonimo, pa ćemo se vratiti k vama”.
6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
Abraham uzme drva za žrtvu paljenicu, stavi ih na sina Izaka, a u svoju ruku uzme kremen i nož. Tako pođu obojica zajedno.
7 And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
Onda Izak reče svome ocu Abrahamu: “Oče!” “Evo me, sine!” - javi se on. “Evo kremena i drva,” opet će sin, “ali gdje je janje za žrtvu paljenicu?”
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
“Bog će već providjeti janje za žrtvu paljenicu, sine moj!” - odgovori Abraham. I nastave put.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar on the wood.
Stignu na mjesto o kojemu je Bog govorio. Ondje Abraham podigne žrtvenik, naslaže drva, sveže svog sina Izaka i položi ga po drvima na žrtvenik.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Pruži sad Abraham ruku i uzme nož da zakolje svog sina.
11 And the angel of the LORD called to him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
Uto ga zovne s neba anđeo Jahvin i poviče: “Abrahame! Abrahame!” “Evo me!” - odgovori on.
12 And he said, Lay not your hand on the lad, neither do you any thing to him: for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son from me.
“Ne spuštaj ruku na dječaka”, reče, “niti mu što čini! Sad, evo, znam da se Boga bojiš, jer nisi uskratio ni svog sina, jedinca svoga.”
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
Podiže Abraham oči i pogleda, i gle - za njim ovan, rogovima se zapleo u grmu. Tako Abraham ode, uzme ovna i prinese ga za žrtvu paljenicu mjesto svoga sina.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
Onome mjestu Abraham dade ime “Jahve proviđa”. Zato se danas veli: “Na brdu Jahvina proviđanja.”
15 And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham out of heaven the second time,
Anđeo Jahvin zovne Abrahama s neba drugi put
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, says the LORD, for because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son:
i reče: “Kunem se samim sobom, izjavljuje Jahve: Kad si to učinio i nisi mi uskratio svog jedinca sina,
17 That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is on the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
svoj ću blagoslov na te izliti i učiniti tvoje potomstvo brojnim poput zvijezda na nebu i pijeska na obali morskoj! A tvoji će potomci osvajati vrata svojih neprijatelja.
18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have obeyed my voice.
Budući da si poslušao moju zapovijed, svi će se narodi zemlje blagoslivljati tvojim potomstvom.”
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelled at Beersheba.
Zatim se Abraham vrati k svojim slugama pa se zajedno upute u Beer Šebu. U Beer Šebi se Abraham nastani.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she has also born children to your brother Nahor;
Poslije tih događaja obavijeste Abrahama: “I tvome bratu Nahoru Milka je porodila djecu:
21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
njegova prvorođenca Usa, brata mu Buza i Kemuela - oca Aramova,
22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Keseda, Haza, Pildaša, Jidlafa i Betuela.”
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
Betuel je bio otac Rebekin. Njih je osam rodila Milka Nahoru, Abrahamovu bratu.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bore also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
A i njegova suložnica, kojoj bijaše ime Reuma, rodila je Tebaha, Gahama, Tahaša i Maaku.
