Genesis 24
1 And Abraham [is] old, he hath entered into days, and Jehovah hath blessed Abraham in all [things];
Abraham je bil star in že zelo zvrhan v starosti in Gospod je Abrahama blagoslovil v vseh stvareh.
2 and Abraham saith unto his servant, the eldest of his house, who is ruling over all that he hath, 'Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh,
Abraham je najstarejšemu služabniku svoje hiše, ki je vladal nad vsem, kar je imel, rekel: »Položi, prosim te, svojo roko pod moje stegno,
3 and I cause thee to swear by Jehovah, God of the heavens, and God of the earth, that thou dost not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in the midst of whom I am dwelling;
jaz pa te bom primoral priseči pri Gospodu, Bogu nebes in Bogu zemlje, da mojemu sinu ne boš vzel žene izmed kánaanskih hčera, med katerimi živim,
4 but unto my land and unto my kindred dost thou go, and hast taken a wife for my son, for Isaac.'
temveč boš šel v mojo deželo in k mojemu sorodstvu in vzel ženo mojemu sinu Izaku.«
5 And the servant saith unto him, 'It may be the woman is not willing to come after me unto this land; do I at all cause thy son to turn back unto the land from whence thou camest out?'
Služabnik pa mu je rekel: »Morda mi ženska ne bo voljna slediti v to deželo. Ali moram tvojega sina ponovno privesti v deželo, od koder si prišel?«
6 And Abraham saith unto him, 'Take heed to thyself, lest thou cause my son to turn back thither;
Abraham mu je rekel: »Pazi, da mojega sina ne privedeš ponovno tja.
7 Jehovah, God of the heavens, who hath taken me from the house of my father, and from the land of my birth, and who hath spoken to me, and who hath sworn to me, saying, To thy seed I give this land, He doth send His messenger before thee, and thou hast taken a wife for my son from thence;
Gospod, Bog nebes, ki me je vzel iz hiše mojega očeta in iz dežele mojega sorodstva in ki mi je govoril in mi to prisegel, rekoč: ›To deželo bom dal tvojemu semenu, ‹ bo pred teboj poslal svojega angela in ti boš mojemu sinu od tam vzel ženo.
8 and if the woman be not willing to come after thee, then thou hast been acquitted from this mine oath: only my son thou dost not cause to turn back thither.'
Če pa ti ženska ne bo voljna slediti, potem boš prost pred to mojo prisego, samo mojega sina ne privedi ponovno tja.«
9 And the servant putteth his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and sweareth to him concerning this matter.
Služabnik je svojo roko položil pod stegno Abrahama, svojega gospodarja in mu glede te zadeve prisegel.
10 And the servant taketh ten camels of the camels of his lord and goeth, also of all the goods of his lord in his hand, and he riseth, and goeth unto Aram-Naharaim, unto the city of Nahor;
Služabnik je vzel deset kamel izmed kamel svojega gospodarja in se odpravil, kajti vse dobrine njegovega gospodarja so bile v njegovi roki. Vstal je in odšel v Mezopotamijo, v Nahórjevo mesto.
11 and he causeth the camels to kneel at the outside of the city, at the well of water, at even-time, at the time of the coming out of the women who draw water.
Svojim kamelam je storil, da so pokleknile zunaj mesta, pri vodnem izviru, ob večernem času, v času, ko gredo ženske ven zajemat vodo.
12 And he saith, 'Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, cause to meet, I pray Thee, before me this day — (and do kindness with my lord Abraham;
Rekel je: »Oh Gospod, Bog mojega gospodarja Abrahama, prosim te, pošlji mi danes veliko sreče in mojemu gospodarju Abrahamu izkaži prijaznost.
13 lo, I am standing by the fountain of water, and daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;
Glej, tukaj stojim pri vodnem izviru in hčere mestnih mož prihajajo zajemat vodo.
14 and it hath been, the young person unto whom I say, Incline, I pray thee, thy pitcher, and I drink, and she hath said, Drink, and I water also thy camels) — her Thou hast decided for Thy servant, for Isaac; and by it I know that Thou hast done kindness with my lord.'
Naj se mi zgodi, da gospodična, ki ji bom rekel: ›Spusti svoj lončen vrč, prosim te, da bom lahko pil‹ in bo rekla: ›Pij in tudi tvojim kamelam bom dala piti, ‹ naj bo ta tista, ki si jo določil za svojega služabnika Izaka in s tem bom vedel, da si mojemu gospodarju izkazal prijaznost.«
15 And it cometh to pass, before he hath finished speaking, that lo, Rebekah (who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, wife of Nahor, brother of Abraham) is coming out, and her pitcher on her shoulder,
Pripetilo se je, preden je nehal govoriti, glej, da je prišla ven Rebeka, ki je bila rojena Betuélu, sinu Milke, žene Nahórja, Abrahamovega brata, s svojim lončenim vrčem na svoji rami.
16 and the young person [is] of very good appearance, a virgin, and a man hath not known her; and she goeth down to the fountain, and filleth her pitcher, and cometh up.
Gospodična pa je bila zelo lepa na pogled, devica, niti je noben mož ni spoznal in odšla je dol k izviru in napolnila svoj lončen vrč ter prišla gor.
17 And the servant runneth to meet her, and saith, 'Let me swallow, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher;'
Služabnik je stekel, da jo sreča in reče: »Pusti mi, prosim te, popiti malo vode iz tvojega lončenega vrča.«
18 and she saith, 'Drink, my lord;' and she hasteth, and letteth down her pitcher upon her hand, and giveth him drink.
Rekla je: »Pij, moj gospod« in se podvizala ter spustila svoj lončen vrč na svojo roko ter mu dala piti.
19 And she finisheth giving him drink, and saith, 'Also for thy camels I draw till they have finished drinking;'
In ko mu je dala piti, je rekla: »Tudi za tvoje kamele bom zajela vodo, dokler se ne napijejo.«
20 and she hasteth, and emptieth her pitcher into the drinking-trough, and runneth again unto the well to draw, and draweth for all his camels.
Odhitela je in svoj lončen vrč izpraznila v korito in ponovno stekla k izviru, da zajame vodo in jo zajela za vse njegove kamele.
21 And the man, wondering at her, remaineth silent, to know whether Jehovah hath made his way prosperous or not.
Človek, začuden ob njej, je ohranil svoj mir, da izve, ali je Gospod naredil njegovo potovanje uspešno ali ne.
22 And it cometh to pass when the camels have finished drinking, that the man taketh a golden ring (whose weight [is] a bekah), and two bracelets for her hands (whose weight [is] ten [bekahs] of gold),
Pripetilo se je, ko so se kamele napojile, da je človek vzel zlat uhan, težak pol šekla in dve zapestnici za njeni roki, težki deset šeklov zlata
23 and saith, 'Whose daughter [art] thou? declare to me, I pray thee, is the house of thy father a place for us to lodge in?'
in rekel: »Čigava hči si? Povej mi, prosim te. Ali je za nas prostor v hiši tvojega očeta, da prenočimo?«
24 And she saith unto him, 'I [am] daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she hath borne to Nahor.'
Rekla mu je: » Sem hči Betuéla, Milkinega sina, ki ga je rodila Nahórju.«
25 She saith also unto him, 'Both straw and provender [are] abundant with us, also a place to lodge in.'
Poleg tega mu je rekla: »Imamo dovolj tako slame kakor krme in prostora za prenočitev.«
26 And the man boweth, and doth obeisance to Jehovah,
Človek je sklonil svojo glavo ter oboževal Gospoda.
27 and saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, who hath not left off His kindness and His truth with my lord; — I [being] in the way, Jehovah hath led me to the house of my lord's brethren.'
Rekel je: »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Bog mojega gospodarja Abrahama, ki mojega gospodarja ni pustil brez svoje milosti in svoje resnice. Bil sem na poti in Gospod me je vodil v hišo bratov mojega gospodarja.«
28 And the young person runneth, and declareth to the house of her mother according to these words.
Gospodična je stekla ter te stvari povedala tistim iz hiše svoje matere.
29 And Rebekah hath a brother, and his name [is] Laban, and Laban runneth unto the man who [is] without, unto the fountain;
Rebeka pa je imela brata in njegovo ime je bilo Labán. In Labán je stekel k človeku, k izviru.
30 yea, it cometh to pass, when he seeth the ring, and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heareth the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, 'Thus hath the man spoken unto me,' that he cometh in unto the man, and lo, he is standing by the camels by the fountain.
Pripetilo se je, ko je zagledal uhan in zapestnici na roki svoje sestre in ko je slišal besede svoje sestre Rebeke, rekoč: »Tako mi je mož govoril, « da je prišel k človeku. In glej, stal je s kamelami pri izviru.
31 And he saith, 'Come in, O blessed one of Jehovah, why standest thou without, and I — I have prepared the house and place for the camels!'
Rekel je: »Vstopi, ti blagoslovljen od Gospoda. Zakaj stojiš zunaj? Kajti pripravil sem hišo in prostor za kamele.«
32 And he bringeth in the man into the house, and looseth the camels, and giveth straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who [are] with him:
Mož je vstopil v hišo, on pa je odpasal njegove kamele in jim dal slamo in krmo za kamele in vodo, da umije njegova stopala in stopala mož, ki so bili z njim.
33 and setteth before him to eat; but he saith, 'I do not eat till I have spoken my word;' and he saith, 'Speak.'
Predenj je bila postavljena hrana, da bi jedel, toda rekel je: »Ne bom jedel, dokler ne povem svoje naloge.« On pa je rekel: »Spregovori.«
34 And he saith, 'I [am] Abraham's servant;
Rekel je: »Jaz sem Abrahamov služabnik.
35 and Jehovah hath blessed my lord exceedingly, and he is great; and He giveth to him flock, and herd, and silver, and gold, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses;
In Gospod je silno blagoslovil mojega gospodarja in postal je velik in dal mu je trope, črede, srebro, zlato, sluge, dekle, kamele in osle.
36 and Sarah, my lord's wife, beareth a son to my lord, after she hath been aged, and he giveth to him all that he hath.
Sara, žena mojega gospodarja, je mojemu gospodarju rodila sina, ko je bila stara. In njemu je dal vse, kar ima.
37 'And my lord causeth me to swear, saying, Thou dost not take a wife to my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in whose land I am dwelling.
Moj gospodar me je zaprisegel, rekoč: ›Mojemu sinu ne boš vzel žene izmed kánaanskih hčera, v katerih deželi prebivam,
38 If not — unto the house of my father thou dost go, and unto my family, and thou hast taken a wife for my son.
temveč boš šel k hiši mojega očeta in k mojemu sorodstvu in vzel ženo mojemu sinu.‹
39 'And I say unto my lord, It may be the woman doth not come after me;
Svojemu gospodarju sem rekel: ›Morda mi ženska ne bo hotela slediti.‹
40 and he saith unto me, Jehovah, before whom I have walked habitually, doth send His messenger with thee, and hath prospered thy way, and thou hast taken a wife for my son from my family, and from the house of my father;
Rekel mi je: › Gospod, pred katerim hodim, bo s teboj poslal svojega angela in osrečil tvojo pot in vzel boš ženo za mojega sina iz mojega sorodstva in iz hiše mojega očeta.
41 then art thou acquitted from my oath, when thou comest unto my family, and if they give not [one] to thee; then thou hast been acquitted from my oath.
Potem boš prost pred to mojo prisego, ko prideš k mojemu sorodstvu. Če ti je ne bodo dali, potem si prost pred mojo prisego.‹
42 'And I come to-day unto the fountain, and I say, Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, if Thou art, I pray Thee, making prosperous my way in which I am going —
Danes sem prišel k izviru in rekel: ›O Gospod, Bog mojega gospodarja Abrahama, če sedaj osrečiš mojo pot, ki jo hodim.
43 (lo, I am standing by the fountain of water), then the virgin who is coming out to draw, and I have said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher,
Glej, stojim pri vodnem izviru in naj se zgodi, da ko pride naprej devica, da zajame vodo in ji rečem: ›Daj mi za piti, prosim te, malo vode iz svojega lončenega vrča‹
44 and she hath said unto me, Both drink thou, and also for thy camels I draw — she is the woman whom Jehovah hath decided for my lord's son.
in mi reče: ›Pij in prav tako bom zajela za tvoje kamele, ‹ naj bo ta ista ženska, ki jo je Gospod določil za sina mojega gospodarja.
45 'Before I finish speaking unto my heart, then lo, Rebekah is coming out, and her pitcher on her shoulder, and she goeth down to the fountain, and draweth; and I say unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee,
In preden sem v svojem srcu prenehal govoriti, glej, je prišla Rebeka s svojim lončenim vrčem na svoji rami. Odšla je dol do izvira in zajela vodo. Rekel sem ji: ›Daj mi piti, prosim te.‹
46 and she hasteth and letteth down her pitcher from off her and saith, Drink, and thy camels also I water; and I drink, and the camels also she hath watered.
Podvizala se je in spustila svoj lončen vrč iz svoje rame ter rekla: ›Pij in tudi tvojim kamelam bom dala piti.‹ Tako sem pil in tudi kamele je napojila.‹
47 'And I ask her, and say, Whose daughter [art] thou? and she saith, Daughter of Bethuel, son of Nahor, whom Milcah hath borne to him, and I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands,
Vprašal sem jo ter rekel: ›Čigava hči si?‹ Rekla je: ›Hči Betuéla, Nahórjevega sina, ki mu ga je rodila Milka.‹ In položil sem uhan na njen obraz in zapestnici na njeni roki.
48 and I bow, and do obeisance before Jehovah, and I bless Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, who hath led me in the true way to receive the daughter of my lord's brother for his son.
Sklonil sem svojo glavo in oboževal Gospoda in blagoslovil Gospoda, Boga svojega gospodarja Abrahama, ki me je vodil po pravi poti, da vzame svojemu sinu hčer gospodarjevega brata.
49 'And now, if ye are dealing kindly and truly with my lord, declare to me; and if not, declare to me; and I turn unto the right or unto the left.'
In sedaj, če hočete prijazno in iskreno postopati z mojim gospodarjem, mi povejte. Če ne, mi povejte, da se lahko obrnem na desno roko ali na levo.«
50 And Laban answereth — Bethuel also — and they say, 'The thing hath gone out from Jehovah; we are not able to speak unto thee bad or good;
Potem sta Labán in Betuél odgovorila ter rekla: »Stvar izvira od Gospoda. Ne moreva ti govoriti dobro ali slabo.
51 lo, Rebekah [is] before thee, take and go, and she is a wife to thy lord's son, as Jehovah hath spoken.'
Glej, Rebeka je pred teboj, vzemi jo in pojdi in naj bo žena sinu tvojega gospodarja, kakor je govoril Gospod.«
52 And it cometh to pass, when the servant of Abraham hath heard their words, that he boweth himself towards the earth before Jehovah;
Pripetilo se je, da ko je Abrahamov služabnik slišal te besede, je oboževal Gospoda, priklanjajoč se k zemlji.
53 and the servant taketh out vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and giveth to Rebekah; precious things also he hath given to her brother and to her mother.
Služabnik je prinesel naprej dragocenosti iz srebra in dragocenosti iz zlata in oblačilo in jih dal Rebeki. Tudi njenemu bratu in njeni materi je dal dragocene stvari.
54 And they eat and drink, he and the men who [are] with him, and lodge all night; and they rise in the morning, and he saith, 'Send me to my lord;'
Jedli so in pili, on in ljudje, ki so bili z njim in ostali vso noč. Vstali pa so zjutraj in rekel je: »Pošljite me proč, k mojemu gospodarju.«
55 and her brother saith — her mother also — 'Let the young person abide with us a week or ten days, afterwards doth she go.'
Njen brat in njena mati pa sta rekla: »Naj gospodična ostane z nami nekaj dni, vsaj deset, potem bo šla.«
56 And he saith unto them, 'Do not delay me, seeing Jehovah hath prospered my way; send me away, and I go to my lord;'
Rekel jim je: »Ne preprečujte mi, glede na to, da je Gospod osrečil mojo pot. Pošljite me proč, da lahko grem k svojemu gospodarju.«
57 and they say, 'Let us call for the young person, and ask at her mouth;'
Rekla sta: »Poklicala bova gospodično in poizvemo pri njenih ustih.«
58 and they call for Rebekah, and say unto her, 'Dost thou go with this man?' and she saith, 'I go.'
In poklicala sta Rebeko ter ji rekla: »Hočeš iti s tem človekom?« In rekla je: »Šla bom.«
59 And they send away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men;
In odpustili so svojo sestro Rebeko in njeno dojiljo in Abrahamovega služabnika in njegove ljudi.
60 and they bless Rebekah, and say to her, 'Thou [art] our sister; become thou thousands of myriads, and thy seed doth possess the gate of those hating it.'
In blagoslovili so Rebeko ter ji rekli: »Ti si naša sestra, bodi mati tisočev milijonov in naj tvoje seme obvladuje velika vrata tistih, ki jih sovražijo.«
61 And Rebekah and her young women arise, and ride on the camels, and go after the man; and the servant taketh Rebekah and goeth.
Rebeka je vstala in njene gospodične in zajahale so kamele ter sledile človeku. In služabnik je vzel Rebeko ter odšel svojo pot.
62 And Isaac hath come in from the entrance of the Well of the Living One, my Beholder; and he is dwelling in the land of the south,
Izak je prišel po poti izvira Laháj Roí, kajti prebival je v južni deželi.
63 and Isaac goeth out to meditate in the field, at the turning of the evening, and he lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, camels are coming.
Izak je odšel ven, da ob večeru premišljuje na polju in je povzdignil svoje oči in videl in glej, prihajale so kamele.
64 And Rebekah lifteth up her eyes, and seeth Isaac, and alighteth from off the camel;
Rebeka je povzdignila svoje oči in ko je zagledala Izaka, se je spustila s kamele.
65 and she saith unto the servant, 'Who [is] this man who is walking in the field to meet us?' and the servant saith, 'It [is] my lord;' and she taketh the veil, and covereth herself.
Kajti služabniku je rekla: »Kdo je ta človek, ki hodi po polju, da nas sreča?« Služabnik je rekel: »To je moj gospodar.« Zato je vzela zagrinjalo in se pokrila.
66 And the servant recounteth to Isaac all the things that he hath done,
Služabnik je povedal Izaku vse stvari, ki jih je storil.
67 and Isaac bringeth her in unto the tent of Sarah his mother, and he taketh Rebekah, and she becometh his wife, and he loveth her, and Isaac is comforted after [the death of] his mother.
Izak jo je privedel v šotor svoje matere Sare in vzel Rebeko in postala je njegova žena in jo je ljubil in Izak je bil potolažen po smrti svoje matere.
