< Genesis 17 >

1 When Abram was 99 years old, Yahweh appeared to him again and said to him, “I am God Almighty. I want you to live in a way that I will regard you as someone that cannot be criticized.
A kad Avramu bi devedeset i devet godina, javi mu se Gospod i reèe mu: ja sam Bog svemoguæi, po mojoj volji živi i budi pošten.
2 If you do that, I will make an agreement with you in which I will promise to enable you to have very many descendants.” [MTY]
I uèiniæu zavjet izmeðu sebe i tebe, i vrlo æu te umnožiti.
3 Abram prostrated himself with his face on the ground. Then God said to him,
A Avram pade nièice. I Gospod mu još govori i reèe:
4 “Listen to this agreement that I am making with you: People of many nations will be your descendants.
Od mene evo zavjet moj s tobom da æeš biti otac mnogim narodima.
5 And no longer will your name be Abram. Instead, your name will be Abraham, [which means ‘father of many nations,’] because the people of many nations will descend from you.
Zato se više neæeš zvati Avram, nego æe ti ime biti Avraam, jer sam te uèinio ocem mnogih naroda;
6 I will enable you to have very many descendants, and I will cause them to become great nations/people-groups, and some of your descendants will become kings.
Daæu ti porodicu vrlo veliku, i naèiniæu od tebe narode mnoge, i carevi æe izaæi od tebe.
7 I will make this agreement between me and you and your descendants. It will be an everlasting agreement to be in effect for many generations. This agreement is that I will be your God, and the God of your descendants.
A postavljam zavjet svoj izmeðu sebe i tebe i sjemena tvojega nakon tebe od koljena do koljena, da je zavjet vjeèan, da sam Bog tebi i sjemenu tvojemu nakon tebe;
8 I will give to you and to your descendants the land through which you are now traveling, all of the Canaan region. It will be an everlasting possession for your descendants, and I will be the God that they [will worship].”
I daæu tebi i sjemenu tvojemu nakon tebe zemlju u kojoj si došljak, svu zemlju Hanansku u državu vjeènu, i biæu im Bog.
9 Then God said to Abraham, “Now you must obey [your part of] the agreement that I am making with you, and your descendants must also obey it, for all generations.
I reèe Bog Avramu: ti pak drži zavjet moj, ti i sjeme tvoje nakon tebe od koljena do koljena.
10 This is the agreement that I am making, between myself and you and all your descendants: Every male among you must be circumcised.
A ovo je zavjet moj izmeðu mene i vas i sjemena tvojega nakon tebe, koji æete držati: da se obrezuje izmeðu vas sve muškinje.
11 (Cutting the foreskins of/Circumcising) them will be the sign [that you have accepted] the agreement I am making with you.
A obrezivaæete okrajak tijela svojega, da bude znak zavjeta izmeðu mene i vas.
12 Every male child among you must be circumcised when he is eight days old, in all future generations. That includes baby boys in your household or those born from slaves that have been bought, and baby boys of foreigners who live among you but do not belong to your household.
Svako muško dijete kad mu bude osam dana da se obrezuje od koljena do koljena, rodilo se u kuæi ili bilo kupljeno za novce od kojih god stranaca, koje ne bude od sjemena tvojega.
13 It does not matter whether their parents are members of your household or slaves that have been bought; they must all be circumcised. Your bodies will have this mark to show [you have accepted] this everlasting agreement I am making.
Da se obrezuje koje se rodi u kuæi tvojoj i koje se kupi za novce tvoje; tako æe biti zavjet moj na tijelu vašem zavjet vjeèan.
14 You must expel from your community any male who has not been circumcised, because [by not being circumcised] that person has disobeyed my agreement.”
A neobrezano muško, kojemu se ne obreže okrajak tijela njegova, da se istrijebi iz naroda svojega, jer pokvari zavjet moj.
15 God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai, your wife, you must not call her Sarai any longer. [Since I changed your name, I will change her name also]. Her name will now be Sarah.
I još reèe Bog Avramu: a Saru ženu svoju ne zovi je više Sara nego neka joj bude ime Sara.
16 I will bless her, and she will surely give birth to a son for you. And I will bless her so much that she will be the ancestor of people of many nations. Kings of some people-groups will be descended from her.”
I ja æu je blagosloviti, i daæu ti sina od nje; blagosloviæu je, i biæe mati mnogim narodima, i carevi narodima izaæi æe od nje.
17 Abraham prostrated himself with his face on the ground [to show respect to God]. But then he laughed as he said to himself, “Can a man who is a 100 years old become a father of a son? And since Sarah is 90 years old, how can she bear a child?”
Tada pade Avram nièice, i nasmija se govoreæi u srcu svojem: eda æe se èovjeku od sto godina roditi sin? i Sari? eda æe žena od devedeset godina roditi?
18 Then Abraham said to God, “Perhaps you will let Ishmael receive your blessing [and inherit all I possess].”
I Avram reèe Bogu: neka živ bude Ismailo pred tobom!
19 Then God replied, “[No!] Your wife Sarah will bear a son for you. You must name him Isaac. I will establish my agreement with him, one which will be an everlasting agreement for him and his descendants.
I reèe Bog: zaista Sara žena tvoja rodiæe ti sina, i nadjeæeš mu ime Isak; i postaviæu zavjet svoj s njim da bude zavjet vjeèan sjemenu njegovu nakon njega.
20 As for Ishmael, I have heard what you asked me to do for him. I will bless him so that he also will have many descendants. Among his descendants will be rulers of twelve nations. And I will cause his [descendants] [MTY] to also become a great nation.
A i za Ismaila uslišio sam te; evo blagoslovio sam ga, i daæu mu porodicu veliku, i umnožiæu ga veoma; i rodiæe dvanaest knezova, i uèiniæu od njega velik narod.
21 But Isaac, the son whom Sarah will give birth to at this time next year, is the one with whom I will establish my agreement.”
A zavjet svoj uèiniæu s Isakom kad ti ga rodi Sara, do godine u ovo doba.
22 When God finished talking to Abraham, God disappeared from his sight.
I Bog izgovorivši otide od Avrama gore.
23 On that same day, Abraham took his son Ishmael and all the males that were in his household, including the sons of all the slaves he had bought, and circumcised them. He cut off their foreskins, just as God told him to do.
I Avram uze Ismaila sina svojega i sve koji se rodiše u domu njegovu i koje god bješe kupio za svoje novce, sve muškinje od domaæih svojih; i obreza okrajak tijela njihova u isti dan, kao što mu kaza Bog.
24 Abraham was 99 years old when (he was circumcised/someone circumcised him),
A bješe Avramu devedeset i devet godina kad obreza okrajak tijela svojega.
25 and Ishmael was thirteen years old when Abraham circumcised him.
A Ismailu sinu njegovu bješe trinaest godina kad mu se obreza okrajak tijela njegova.
26 On that very day Abraham and his son, Ishmael were circumcised.
U jedan dan obreza se Avram i sin mu Ismailo,
27 And all the males in his household, the ones who had been born there and those who had been bought from foreigners, were also circumcised.
I svi domašnji njegovi, roðeni u kuæi i kupljeni za novce od stranaca, biše obrezani s njim.
