Genesis 15
1 After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Fear not, Abram! I am your shield and your very great reward.”
Poslije ovijeh stvari doðe Avramu rijeè Gospodnja u utvari govoreæi: ne boj se, Avrame, ja sam ti štit, i plata je tvoja vrlo velika.
2 Abram said, “Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, since I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”
A Avram reèe: Gospode, Gospode, šta æeš mi dati kad živim bez djece, a na kom æe ostati moja kuæa to je Elijezer ovaj Damaštanin?
3 Abram said, “Since you have given me no descendant, see, the steward of my house is my heir.”
Još reèe Avram: eto meni nijesi dao poroda, pa æe sluga roðen u kuæi mojoj biti moj našljednik.
4 Then, behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir; but rather the one who will come from your own body will be your heir.”
A gle, Gospod mu progovori: neæe taj biti našljednik tvoj, nego koji æe izaæi od tebe taj æe ti biti našljednik.
5 Then he brought him outside, and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So will your descendants be.”
Pa ga izvede napolje i reèe mu: pogledaj na nebo i prebroj zvijezde, ako ih možeš prebrojiti. I reèe mu: tako æe biti sjeme tvoje.
6 He believed Yahweh, and he counted it to him as righteousness.
I povjerova Avram Bogu, a on mu primi to u pravdu.
7 He said to him, “I am Yahweh, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.”
I reèe mu: ja sam Gospod, koji te izvedoh iz Ura Haldejskoga da ti dam zemlju ovu da bude tvoja.
8 He said, “Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?”
A on reèe: Gospode, Gospode, po èemu æu poznati da æe biti moja?
9 Then he said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a dove, and a young pigeon.”
I reèe mu: prinesi mi junicu od tri godine i kozu od tri godine i ovna od tri godine i grlicu i golupèe.
10 He brought him all these, and cut them in two, and placed each half opposite the other, but he did not divide the birds.
I on uze sve to, i rasijeèe na pole, i metnu sve pole jednu prema drugoj; ali ne rasijeèe ptica.
11 When the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
A ptice slijetahu na te mrtve životinje; a Avram ih odgonjaše.
12 Then when the sun was going down, Abram fell sound asleep and, behold, a deep and terrifying darkness overwhelmed him.
A kad sunce bješe na zahodu, uhvati Avrama tvrd san, i gle, strah i mrak velik obuze ga.
13 Then Yahweh said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will be enslaved and oppressed for four hundred years.
I Gospod reèe Avramu: znaj zacijelo da æe sjeme tvoje biti došljaci u zemlji tuðoj, pa æe joj služiti, i ona æe ih muèiti èetiri stotine godina.
14 I will judge that nation that they will serve, and afterward they will come out with abundant possessions.
Ali æu suditi i narodu kojemu æe služiti; a poslije æe oni izaæi s velikim blagom.
15 But you will go to your fathers in peace, and you will be buried in a good old age.
A ti æeš otiæi k ocima svojim u miru, i biæeš pogreben u dobroj starosti.
16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorites has not yet reached its limit.”
A oni æe se u èetvrtom koljenu vratiti ovamo; jer grijesima Amorejskim još nije kraj.
17 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between the pieces.
A kad se sunce smiri i kad se smrèe, gle, peæ se dimljaše, i plamen ognjeni prolažaše izmeðu onijeh dijelova.
18 On that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I hereby give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates—
Taj dan uèini Gospod zavjet s Avramom govoreæi: sjemenu tvojemu dadoh zemlju ovu od vode Misirske do velike vode, vode Efrata,
19 the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
Kenejsku, Kenezejsku i Kedmonejsku,
20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaites,
I Hetejsku i Ferezejsku i Rafajsku,
21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
I Amorejsku i Hananejsku i Gergesejsku i Jevusejsku.
