Postanak 12
1 I reèe Gospod Avramu: idi iz zemlje svoje i od roda svojega i iz doma oca svojega u zemlju koju æu ti ja pokazati.
Now the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you.
2 I uèiniæu od tebe velik narod, i blagosloviæu te, i ime tvoje proslaviæu, i ti æeš biti blagoslov.
I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
3 Blagosloviæu one koji tebe uzblagosiljaju, i prokleæu one koji tebe usproklinju; i u tebi æe biti blagoslovena sva plemena na zemlji.
I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
4 Tada poðe Avram, kao što mu kaza Gospod, i s njim poðe Lot. A bješe Avramu sedamdeset i pet godina kad poðe iz Harana.
So Abram went, as the LORD had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5 I uze Avram Saru ženu svoju i Lota sina brata svojega sa svijem blagom koje bjehu stekli i s dušama koje bjehu dobili u Haranu; i poðoše u zemlju Hanansku, i doðoše u nju.
Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered into the land of Canaan.
6 I proðe Avram tu zemlju do mjesta Sihema i do ravnice Moreške; a bijahu tada Hananeji u toj zemlji.
Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.
7 I javi se Gospod Avramu i reèe: tvojemu sjemenu daæu zemlju ovu. I Avram naèini ondje žrtvenik Gospodu, koji mu se javio.
The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” He built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
8 Poslije otide odande na brdo koje je prema istoku od Vetilja, i ondje razape šator svoj, te mu Vetilj bješe sa zapada a Gaj s istoka; i ondje naèini Gospodu žrtvenik, i prizva ime Gospodnje.
He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD and called on the LORD’s name.
9 Odande otide Avram dalje iduæi na jug.
Abram traveled, still going on toward the South.
10 Ali nasta glad u onoj zemlji, te Avram siðe u Misir da se ondje skloni; jer glad bješe velika u onoj zemlji.
There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.
11 A kad se približi da veæ uðe u Misir, reèe Sari ženi svojoj: gle, znam da si žena lijepa u licu.
When he had come near to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.
12 Zato kad te vide Misirci reæi æe: ovo mu je žena. Pa æe me ubiti, a tebe æe ostaviti u životu.
It will happen that when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive.
13 Nego hajde kaži da si mi sestra, te æe meni biti dobro tebe radi i ostaæu u životu uz tebe.
Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”
14 I kad doðe Avram u Misir, vidješe Misirci ženu da je vrlo lijepa.
When Abram had come into Egypt, some Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
15 I vidješe je knezovi Faraonovi, i hvališe je pred Faraonom. I uzeše je u dvor Faraonov.
The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
16 I on èinjaše dobro Avramu nje radi, te imaše ovaca i goveda i magaraca i sluga i sluškinja i magarica i kamila.
He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17 Ali Gospod pusti velika zla na Faraona i na dom njegov radi Sare žene Avramove.
The LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
18 Tada dozva Faraon Avrama i reèe mu: šta mi to uèini? zašto mi nijesi kazao da ti je žena?
Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?
19 Zašto si kazao: sestra mi je? te je uzeh za ženu. Sad eto ti žene, uzmi je, pa idi.
Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”
20 I Faraon zapovjedi ljudima za nj, te ga ispratiše i ženu njegovu i što god imaše.
Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
