Postanak 15
1 Poslije ovijeh stvari doðe Avramu rijeè Gospodnja u utvari govoreæi: ne boj se, Avrame, ja sam ti štit, i plata je tvoja vrlo velika.
AFTER these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
2 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?
And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
3 Još reèe Avram: eto meni nijesi dao poroda, pa æe sluga roðen u kuæi mojoj biti moj našljednik.
And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
4 A gle, Gospod mu progovori: neæe taj biti našljednik tvoj, nego koji æe izaæi od tebe taj æe ti biti našljednik.
And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
5 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.
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
6 I povjerova Avram Bogu, a on mu primi to u pravdu.
And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
7 I reèe mu: ja sam Gospod, koji te izvedoh iz Ura Haldejskoga da ti dam zemlju ovu da bude tvoja.
And he said unto him, I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
8 A on reèe: Gospode, Gospode, po èemu æu poznati da æe biti moja?
And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9 I reèe mu: prinesi mi junicu od tri godine i kozu od tri godine i ovna od tri godine i grlicu i golupèe.
And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
10 I on uze sve to, i rasijeèe na pole, i metnu sve pole jednu prema drugoj; ali ne rasijeèe ptica.
And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
11 A ptice slijetahu na te mrtve životinje; a Avram ih odgonjaše.
And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
12 A kad sunce bješe na zahodu, uhvati Avrama tvrd san, i gle, strah i mrak velik obuze ga.
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13 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.
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14 Ali æu suditi i narodu kojemu æe služiti; a poslije æe oni izaæi s velikim blagom.
And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 A ti æeš otiæi k ocima svojim u miru, i biæeš pogreben u dobroj starosti.
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 A oni æe se u èetvrtom koljenu vratiti ovamo; jer grijesima Amorejskim još nije kraj.
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
17 A kad se sunce smiri i kad se smrèe, gle, peæ se dimljaše, i plamen ognjeni prolažaše izmeðu onijeh dijelova.
And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
18 Taj dan uèini Gospod zavjet s Avramom govoreæi: sjemenu tvojemu dadoh zemlju ovu od vode Misirske do velike vode, vode Efrata,
In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
19 Kenejsku, Kenezejsku i Kedmonejsku,
The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
20 I Hetejsku i Ferezejsku i Rafajsku,
And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
21 I Amorejsku i Hananejsku i Gergesejsku i Jevusejsku.
And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
