Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God, did prove Abraham, —and he said unto him, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
Poslije tih događaja Bog stavi Abrahama na kušnju. Zovnu ga: “Abrahame!” On odgovori: “Evo me!”
2 And he said—Take, I pray thee, thy son, thine only one, whom thou lovest, even, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah and cause him to ascend there as an ascending-sacrifice, on one of the mountains which I shall name unto thee.
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 So Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took his two young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the pieces of wood for an ascending-sacrifice, and mounted and went his way unto the place which God had named to 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 It was, on the third day, that Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Treći dan Abraham podigne oči i opazi mjesto izdaleka.
5 And Abraham said unto his young men—Tarry by yourselves here with the ass, but I and the young man must go yonder, —that we may bow ourselves down and return unto 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 So Abraham took the pieces of wood for the ascending-sacrifice, and laid them on Isaac his son, and took in his own hand the fire and the knife, and they went on their way, 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 Then said Isaac unto Abraham his father, then said he; My father! And he said, Behold me, my son, And he said, Behold the fire, and the pieces of wood, —but where is the lamb, for an ascending-sacrifice?
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, God, will provide for himself the lamb for an ascending-sacrifice, my son! So they went on their way, both of them, together.
“Bog će već providjeti janje za žrtvu paljenicu, sine moj!” - odgovori Abraham. I nastave put.
9 Then came they into the place which God had named to him, and Abraham built there the altar, and laid in order the pieces of wood, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, above the pieces of 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 put forth his hand, and took the knife, —to slay his son.
Pruži sad Abraham ruku i uzme nož da zakolje svog sina.
11 Then called out unto him the messenger of Yahweh out of the heavens, and said. Abraham, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
Uto ga zovne s neba anđeo Jahvin i poviče: “Abrahame! Abrahame!” “Evo me!” - odgovori on.
12 Then he said, Do not put forth thy hand unto the young man, neither do to him—anything at all, —for, now, know I that one who reverest God, thou art, when thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, 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 lo! a ram, behind, caught in a thicket by his horns, and Abraham went, and took the ram, and caused him to ascend as an ascending-sacrifice instead 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 So Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh-yireh, —as to which it is still said to-day, In the mountain of Yahweh, will provision be made.
Onome mjestu Abraham dade ime “Jahve proviđa”. Zato se danas veli: “Na brdu Jahvina proviđanja.”
15 Then called out the messenger of Yahweh unto Abraham, —a second time out of the heavens;
Anđeo Jahvin zovne Abrahama s neba drugi put
16 and said, By myself, have I sworn is the oracle of Yahweh, —Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one,
i reče: “Kunem se samim sobom, izjavljuje Jahve: Kad si to učinio i nisi mi uskratio svog jedinca sina,
17 That I will, richly bless, thee, and, abundantly multiply, thy seed, as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the lip of the sea, —that thy seed may take possession of the gate of his foes:
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 So shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves in thy seed, —Because thou didst hearken unto my voice.
Budući da si poslušao moju zapovijed, svi će se narodi zemlje blagoslivljati tvojim potomstvom.”
19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they mounted, and went on their way together unto Beer-sheba, —and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
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 also, hath borne sons, to Nahor thy brother:
Poslije tih događaja obavijeste Abrahama: “I tvome bratu Nahoru Milka je porodila djecu:
21 Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother, —and Kemuel, 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, hath begotten Rebekah, —These eight, hath Milcah borne to Nahor brother of Abraham.
Betuel je bio otac Rebekin. Njih je osam rodila Milka Nahoru, Abrahamovu bratu.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also, hath borne Tebah and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
A i njegova suložnica, kojoj bijaše ime Reuma, rodila je Tebaha, Gahama, Tahaša i Maaku.
