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 YHWH has been to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not fear, Abram, I [am] a shield to you, your reward [is] exceedingly great.”
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 says, “Lord YHWH, what do You give to me, and I am going childless? And an acquired son in my house is Demmesek Eliezer.”
3 Još reèe Avram: eto meni nijesi dao poroda, pa æe sluga roðen u kuæi mojoj biti moj našljednik.
And Abram says, “Behold, to me You have not given seed, and behold, a servant will be my 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 YHWH [is] to him, saying, “This [one] will not be your heir; but he who comes out from your bowels, he will be your 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 brings him out outside and says, “Now look attentively toward the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them”; and He says to him, “Thus is your seed.”
6 I povjerova Avram Bogu, a on mu primi to u pravdu.
And he has believed in YHWH, and He reckons it to him—righteousness.
7 I reèe mu: ja sam Gospod, koji te izvedoh iz Ura Haldejskoga da ti dam zemlju ovu da bude tvoja.
And He says to him, “I [am] YHWH who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give to you this land to possess it”;
8 A on reèe: Gospode, Gospode, po èemu æu poznati da æe biti moja?
and he says, “Lord YHWH, whereby do I know that I possess 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 says to him, “Take for Me a heifer of three years, and a female goat of three years, and a ram of three years, and a turtle-dove, and a young bird”;
10 I on uze sve to, i rasijeèe na pole, i metnu sve pole jednu prema drugoj; ali ne rasijeèe ptica.
and he takes all these to Him, and separates them in the midst, and puts each piece opposite its fellow, but the bird he has not divided;
11 A ptice slijetahu na te mrtve životinje; a Avram ih odgonjaše.
and the ravenous birds come down on the carcasses, and Abram causes them to turn back.
12 A kad sunce bješe na zahodu, uhvati Avrama tvrd san, i gle, strah i mrak velik obuze ga.
And the sun is about to go in, and deep sleep has fallen on Abram, and behold, a terror of great darkness is falling on 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 says to Abram, “knowing—know that your seed is a sojourner in a land not theirs, and they have served them, and they have afflicted them four hundred years,
14 Ali æu suditi i narodu kojemu æe služiti; a poslije æe oni izaæi s velikim blagom.
and the nation also whom they serve I judge, and after this they go out with great substance;
15 A ti æeš otiæi k ocima svojim u miru, i biæeš pogreben u dobroj starosti.
and you come to your fathers in peace; you are buried in a good old age;
16 A oni æe se u èetvrtom koljenu vratiti ovamo; jer grijesima Amorejskim još nije kraj.
and the fourth generation turns back here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.”
17 A kad se sunce smiri i kad se smrèe, gle, peæ se dimljaše, i plamen ognjeni prolažaše izmeðu onijeh dijelova.
And it comes to pass—the sun has gone in, and thick darkness has been and behold, a furnace of smoke, and a lamp of fire, which has passed over 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 that day has YHWH made with Abram a covenant, saying, “To your seed I have given this land, from the River of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River,
19 Kenejsku, Kenezejsku i Kedmonejsku,
with the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
20 I Hetejsku i Ferezejsku i Rafajsku,
and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
21 I Amorejsku i Hananejsku i Gergesejsku i Jevusejsku.
and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.”
