< Genesis 17 >

1 And when Abram was ninety and nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God: walk before me, and be thou perfect.
Kad je Abramu bilo devedeset i devet godina, ukaza mu se Jahve pa mu reče: “Ja sam El Šadaj - Bog Svesilni, Mojim hodi putem i neporočan budi.
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and I will multiply thee exceedingly.
A Savez svoj ja sklapam s tobom i silno ću te razmnožiti.”
3 And Abram fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying,
Abram pade ničice dok mu Bog govoraše dalje:
4 As for me, behold my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt become the father of a multitude of nations.
“A ovo je Savez moj s tobom: postat ćeš ocem mnogim narodima;
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.
i nećeš se više zvati Abram - već Abraham će ti ime biti, jer naroda mnogih ocem ja te postavljam.
6 And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will cause thee to become nations; and kings shall come out of thee.
Silno ću te rodnim učiniti; narode ću iz tebe izvesti; i kraljevi će od tebe izaći.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and between thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant: to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
Savez svoj sklapam između sebe i tebe i tvoga potomstva poslije tebe - Savez svoj za vjekove: ja ću biti Bogom tvojim i tvoga potomstva poslije tebe.
8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou sojournest, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
Tebi i tvome potomstvu poslije tebe dajem zemlju u kojoj boraviš kao pridošlica - svu zemlju kanaansku - u vjekovni posjed; a ja ću biti njihov Bog.”
9 And God said unto Abraham, But thou, for thy part, shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, in their generations.
Još reče Bog Abrahamu: “A ti Savez čuvaj moj - ti i tvoje potomstvo poslije tebe u sve vijeke.
10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and between you, and between thy seed after thee: Every man-child among you shall be circumcised.
A ovo je Savez moj s tobom i tvojim potomstvom poslije tebe koji ćeš vršiti: svako muško među vama neka bude obrezano.
11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and this shall serve as the token of the covenant between me and you.
Obrezujte se, i to neka bude znak Saveza između mene i vas.
12 And at eight days old shall every man-child in your generations be circumcised among you, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, who is not of thy seed.
Svako muško među vama, kroz vaša pokoljenja, kad mu se navrši osam dana, neka bude obrezano; i rob, rođen u vašem domu, i onaj što bude kupljen od stranca, koji ne bude od vaše krvi.
13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Da, i rob rođen u tvome domu ili za novac kupljen mora se obrezati! Tako će moj Savez na vašem tijelu ostati vječnim Savezom.
14 And any uncircumcised male, who circumciseth not the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
Muško koje se ne bi obrezalo neka se odstrani od svoga roda: takav je prekršio moj Savez.”
15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
Još reče Bog Abrahamu: “Tvojoj ženi Saraji nije više ime Saraja: Sara će joj ime biti.
16 And I will bless her, and give thee also a son of her; yea I will bless her, and she shall become a mother of nations; kings of people shall spring from her.
Nju ću ja blagosloviti i od nje ti dati sina; blagoslov ću na nju izliti te će se narodi od nje razviti; kraljevi će narodima od nje poteći.”
17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed; and he said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?
Abraham pade ničice pa se nasmija i reče u sebi: “Onome komu je stotinu godina, zar se može roditi dijete? Zar će Sara u devedesetoj rod rađati!”
18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
Abraham reče Bogu: “Neka tvojom milošću Jišmael poživi!”
19 And God said, Truly, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, for his seed after him.
A Bog reče: “Ipak će ti tvoja žena Sara roditi sina; nadjeni mu ime Izak. Savez svoj s njime ću sklopiti, Savez vječni s njime i s njegovim potomstvom poslije njega.
20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make of him a great nation.
I za Jišmaela uslišah te. Evo ga blagoslivljam: rodnim ću ga učiniti i silno ga razmnožiti; dvanaest će knezova od njega postati i u velik će narod izrasti.
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
Ali ću držati svoj Savez s Izakom, koga će ti roditi Sara dogodine u ovo doba.”
22 And when he had left off talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
Kad je završio razgovor s njim, od Abrahama Bog se podiže.
23 And Abraham now took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on the selfsame day, as God had spoken unto him.
Uzme zatim Abraham svoga sina Jišmaela i sve robove koji su bili rođeni u njegovu domu i sve koje je kupio novcem - sve muške ukućane - pa ih toga istog dana obreže, kako mu je Bog rekao.
24 And Abraham was ninety and nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Abrahamu bijaše devedeset i devet godina kad se obrezao,
25 And Ishmael his son, was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
a njegovu sinu Jišmaelu bijaše trinaest godina kad ga obreza.
26 On the self-same day was Abraham circumcised, with Ishmael his son.
Tako su toga istog dana bili obrezani Abraham i njegov sin Jišmael;
27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
i svi muškarci njegova doma, rođeni u njegovoj kući ili za novac kupljeni od stranca - svi s njim bijahu obrezani.
