Genesis 18
1 And Jehovah appeareth unto him among the oaks of Mamre, and he is sitting at the opening of the tent, about the heat of the day;
Poslije mu se javi Gospod u ravnici Mamrijskoj kad sjeðaše na vratima pred šatorom svojim u podne.
2 and he lifteth up his eyes and looketh, and lo, three men standing by him, and he seeth, and runneth to meet them from the opening of the tent, and boweth himself towards the earth,
Podigavši oèi svoje pogleda, i gle, tri èovjeka stajahu prema njemu. I ugledavši ih potrèa im na susret ispred vrata šatora svojega, i pokloni se do zemlje;
3 And he saith, 'My Lord, if, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, do not, I pray thee, pass on from thy servant;
I reèe: Gospode, ako sam našao milost pred tobom, nemoj proæi sluge svojega.
4 let, I pray thee, a little water be accepted, and wash your feet, and recline under the tree;
Da vam donesemo malo vode i operite noge, te se naslonite malo pod ovijem drvetom.
5 and I bring a piece of bread, and support ye your heart; afterwards pass on, for therefore have ye passed over unto your servant;' and they say, 'So mayest thou do as thou has spoken.'
I iznijeæu malo hljeba, te potkrijepite srce svoje, pa onda poðite, kad idete pored sluge svojega. I rekoše: uèini što si kazao.
6 And Abraham hasteth towards the tent, unto Sarah, and saith, 'Hasten three measures of flour-meal, knead, and make cakes;'
I Avram otrèa u šator k Sari, i reèe: brže zamijesi tri kopanje bijeloga brašna i ispeci pogaèe.
7 and Abraham ran unto the herd, and taketh a son of the herd, tender and good, and giveth unto the young man, and he hasteth to prepare it;
Pa otrèa ka govedima i uhvati tele mlado i dobro, i dade ga momku da ga brže zgotovi.
8 and he taketh butter and milk, and the son of the herd which he hath prepared, and setteth before them; and he is standing by them under the tree, and they do eat.
Pa onda iznese masla i mlijeka i tele koje bješe zgotovio, i postavi im, a sam stajaše pred njima pod drvetom dokle jeðahu.
9 And they say unto him, 'Where [is] Sarah thy wife?' and he saith, 'Lo — in the tent;'
I oni mu rekoše: gdje je Sara žena tvoja? A on reèe: eno je pod šatorom.
10 and he saith, 'returning I return unto thee, about the time of life, and lo, to Sarah thy wife a son.'
A jedan izmeðu njih reèe: do godine u ovo doba opet æu doæi k tebi, a Sara æe žena tvoja imati sina. A Sara slušaše na vratima od šatora iza njega.
11 And Sarah is hearkening at the opening of the tent, which is behind him;
A Avram i Sara bijahu stari i vremeniti, i u Sare bješe prestalo što biva u žena.
12 and Abraham and Sarah [are] aged, entering into days — the way of women hath ceased to be to Sarah;
Zato se nasmija Sara u sebi govoreæi: pošto sam ostarjela, sad li æe mi doæi radost? a i gospodar mi je star.
13 and Sarah laugheth in her heart, saying, 'After I have waxed old I have had pleasure! — my lord also [is] old!'
Tada reèe Gospod Avramu: što se smije Sara govoreæi: istina li je da æu roditi kad sam ostarjela?
14 And Jehovah saith unto Abraham, 'Why [is] this? Sarah hath laughed, saying, Is it true really — I bear — and I am aged? Is any thing too wonderful for Jehovah? at the appointed time I return unto thee, about the time of life, and Sarah hath a son.'
Ima li što teško Gospodu? Do godine u ovo doba opet æu doæi k tebi, a Sara æe imati sina.
15 And Sarah denieth, saying, 'I did not laugh;' for she hath been afraid; and He saith, 'Nay, but thou didst laugh.'
A Sara udari u bah govoreæi: nijesam se smijala. Jer se uplaši. Ali on reèe: nije istina, nego si se smijala.
16 And the men rise from thence, and look on the face of Sodom, and Abraham is going with them to send them away;
Potom ustaše ljudi odande, i poðoše put Sodoma; i Avram poðe s njima da ih isprati.
17 and Jehovah said, 'Am I concealing from Abraham that which I am doing,
A Gospod reèe: kako bih tajio od Avrama šta æu uèiniti,
18 and Abraham certainly becometh a nation great and mighty, and blessed in him have been all nations of the earth?
Kad æe od Avrama postati velik i silan narod, i u njemu æe se blagosloviti svi narodi na zemlji?
19 for I have known him, that he commandeth his children, and his house after him (and they have kept the way of Jehovah), to do righteousness and judgment, that Jehovah may bring on Abraham that which He hath spoken concerning him.'
Jer znam da æe zapovjediti sinovima svojima i domu svojemu nakon sebe da se drže putova Gospodnjih i da èine što je pravo i dobro, da bi Gospod navršio na Avramu što mu je obeæao.
20 And Jehovah saith, 'The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah — because great; and their sin — because exceeding grievous:
I reèe Gospod: vika je u Sodomu i Gomoru velika, i grijeh je njihov grdan.
21 I go down now, and see whether according to its cry which is coming unto Me they have done completely — and if not — I know;'
Zato æu siæi da vidim eda li sve èine kao što vika doðe preda me; ako li nije tako, da znam.
22 and the men turn from thence, and go towards Sodom; and Abraham is yet standing before Jehovah.
I ljudi okrenuvši se poðoše put Sodoma; ali Avram još stajaše pred Gospodom,
23 And Abraham draweth nigh and saith, 'Dost Thou also consume righteous with wicked?
I pristupiv Avram reèe: hoæeš li pogubiti i pravednoga s nepravednim?
24 peradventure there are fifty righteous in the midst of the city; dost Thou also consume, and not bear with the place for the sake of the fifty — the righteous who [are] in its midst?
Može biti da ima pedeset pravednika u gradu; hoæeš li i njih pogubiti, i neæeš oprostiti mjestu za onijeh pedeset pravednika što su u njemu?
25 Far be it from Thee to do according to this thing, to put to death the righteous with the wicked; that it hath been — as the righteous so the wicked — far be it from Thee; doth the Judge of all the earth not do justice?'
Nemoj to èiniti, ni gubiti pravednika s nepravednikom, da bude pravedniku kao i nepravedniku; nemoj; eda li sudija cijele zemlje neæe suditi pravo?
26 And Jehovah saith, 'If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in the midst of the city, then have I borne with all the place for their sake.'
I reèe Gospod: ako naðem u Sodomu pedeset pravednika u gradu, oprostiæu cijelom mjestu njih radi.
27 And Abraham answereth and saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak unto the Lord, and I — dust and ashes;
A Avram odgovori i reèe: gle, sada bih progovorio Gospodu, ako i jesam prah i pepeo.
28 peradventure there are lacking five of the fifty righteous — dost Thou destroy for five the whole of the city?' and He saith, 'I destroy [it] not, if I find there forty and five.'
Može biti pravednika pedeset manje pet, hoæeš li za ovijeh pet zatrti sav grad? Odgovori: neæu, ako naðem èetrdeset i pet.
29 And he addeth again to speak unto Him and saith, 'Peradventure there are found there forty?' and He saith, 'I do [it] not, because of the forty.'
I stade dalje govoriti, i reèe: može biti da æe se naæi èetrdeset. Reèe: neæu radi onijeh èetrdeset.
30 And he saith, 'Let it not be, I Pray thee, displeasing to the Lord, and I speak: peradventure there are found there thirty?' and He saith, 'I do [it] not, if I find there thirty.'
Potom reèe: nemoj se gnjeviti, Gospode, što æu reæi; može biti da æe se naæi trideset. I reèe: neæu, ako naðem trideset.
31 And he saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak unto the Lord: peradventure there are found there twenty?' and He saith, 'I do not destroy [it], because of the twenty.'
Opet reèe: gle, sada bih progovorio Gospodu; može biti da æe se naæi dvadeset. Reèe: neæu ih pogubiti za onijeh dvadeset.
32 And he saith, 'Let it not be, I pray Thee, displeasing to the Lord, and I speak only this time: peradventure there are found there ten?' and He saith, 'I do not destroy [it], because of the ten.'
Najposlije reèe: nemoj se gnjeviti, Gospode, što æu još jednom progovoriti; može biti da æe se naæi deset. Reèe: neæu ih pogubiti radi onijeh deset.
33 And Jehovah goeth on, when He hath finished speaking unto Abraham, and Abraham hath turned back to his place.
I Gospod otide svršivši razgovor s Avramom; a Avram se vrati na svoje mjesto.
