< Postanak 17 >

1 A kad Avramu bi devedeset i devet godina, javi mu se Gospod i reèe mu: ja sam Bog svemoguæi, po mojoj volji živi i budi pošten.
And it came to pass that, when Abram was ninety and nine years old, Yahweh appeared unto Abram, and said unto him, I, am GOD Almighty, —Walk, thou before me and become thou blameless:
2 I uèiniæu zavjet izmeðu sebe i tebe, i vrlo æu te umnožiti.
That I may set my covenant betwixt me and thee, And may multiply thee, exceedingly.
3 A Avram pade nièice. I Gospod mu još govori i reèe:
And Abram fell on his face, —and God spake with him, saying:
4 Od mene evo zavjet moj s tobom da æeš biti otac mnogim narodima.
As for me, lo! my covenant is with thee, —So shalt thou become—father of a multitude of nations;
5 Zato se više neæeš zvati Avram, nego æe ti ime biti Avraam, jer sam te uèinio ocem mnogih naroda;
And thy name shall no more be called Abram, —but thy name shall become Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations, have I appointed thee;
6 Daæu ti porodicu vrlo veliku, i naèiniæu od tebe narode mnoge, i carevi æe izaæi od tebe.
And I will make thee fruitful, exceedingly, and grant thee to be nations, —Yea kings, out of thee, shall come forth;
7 A postavljam zavjet svoj izmeðu sebe i tebe i sjemena tvojega nakon tebe od koljena do koljena, da je zavjet vjeèan, da sam Bog tebi i sjemenu tvojemu nakon tebe;
And I will confirm my covenant betwixt me and thee and thy seed after thee to their generations for an age-abiding covenant, —to become to thee a God, and to thy seed after thee;
8 I daæu tebi i sjemenu tvojemu nakon tebe zemlju u kojoj si došljak, svu zemlju Hanansku u državu vjeènu, i biæu im Bog.
And I will give to thee and to thy seed after thee the land of thy sojournings—all the land of Canaan, for an age-abiding possession—And I will be to them a God.
9 I reèe Bog Avramu: ti pak drži zavjet moj, ti i sjeme tvoje nakon tebe od koljena do koljena.
And God said unto Abraham, But, as for thee, my covenant, must thou keep, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations: —
10 A ovo je zavjet moj izmeðu mene i vas i sjemena tvojega nakon tebe, koji æete držati: da se obrezuje izmeðu vas sve muškinje.
This, is my covenant which ye shall keep, betwixt me and you, and thy seed after thee, —To circumcise to you every male:
11 A obrezivaæete okrajak tijela svojega, da bude znak zavjeta izmeðu mene i vas.
So shall ye be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, —So shall it become a sign of a covenant, betwixt me and you.
12 Svako muško dijete kad mu bude osam dana da se obrezuje od koljena do koljena, rodilo se u kuæi ili bilo kupljeno za novce od kojih god stranaca, koje ne bude od sjemena tvojega.
And he that is eight days old, shall be circumcised to you every male to your generations, —he that is born of the house, and he that is bought with silver of any son of a stranger, who is, not of thy seed,
13 Da se obrezuje koje se rodi u kuæi tvojoj i koje se kupi za novce tvoje; tako æe biti zavjet moj na tijelu vašem zavjet vjeèan.
He must surely be circumcised, born of thy house or bought with thy silver, —So shall my covenant be in your flesh for an age-abiding covenant.
14 A neobrezano muško, kojemu se ne obreže okrajak tijela njegova, da se istrijebi iz naroda svojega, jer pokvari zavjet moj.
But, as for the uncircumcised male who shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, —that person shall be cut off from among his people, —my covenant, hath he made void.
15 I još reèe Bog Avramu: a Saru ženu svoju ne zovi je više Sara nego neka joj bude ime Sara.
And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, —but, Sarah, is her name;
16 I ja æu je blagosloviti, i daæu ti sina od nje; blagosloviæu je, i biæe mati mnogim narodima, i carevi narodima izaæi æe od nje.
and I will bless her, yea moreover will give—from her—to thee, a son, —And I will bless her, and she shall become nations. Kings of peoples, from her, shall arise.
17 Tada pade Avram nièice, i nasmija se govoreæi u srcu svojem: eda æe se èovjeku od sto godina roditi sin? i Sari? eda æe žena od devedeset godina roditi?
And Abraham fell on his face and laughed, —and said in his heart To one a hundred years old, shall a child be born? And shall even Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?
18 I Avram reèe Bogu: neka živ bude Ismailo pred tobom!
And Abraham said unto God, —Oh that, Ishmael, might live before thee!
19 I reèe Bog: zaista Sara žena tvoja rodiæe ti sina, i nadjeæeš mu ime Isak; i postaviæu zavjet svoj s njim da bude zavjet vjeèan sjemenu njegovu nakon njega.
And God said—Truly, Sarah thy wife, is about to bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name, Isaac, —and I will establish my covenant with him as an age-abiding covenant, to his seed after him.
20 A i za Ismaila uslišio sam te; evo blagoslovio sam ga, i daæu mu porodicu veliku, i umnožiæu ga veoma; i rodiæe dvanaest knezova, i uèiniæu od njega velik narod.
Yet as for Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo! I have blessed him and will make him fruitful, and multiply him, exceedingly, —twelve princes, shall he beget, and I will grant him to be a great nation;
21 A zavjet svoj uèiniæu s Isakom kad ti ga rodi Sara, do godine u ovo doba.
But my covenant, will I establish with Isaac, —whom Sarah shall bear, to thee, by this set time, in the next year.
22 I Bog izgovorivši otide od Avrama gore.
And he left off speaking with him, —and God went up from Abraham.
23 I Avram uze Ismaila sina svojega i sve koji se rodiše u domu njegovu i koje god bješe kupio za svoje novce, sve muškinje od domaæih svojih; i obreza okrajak tijela njihova u isti dan, kao što mu kaza Bog.
So Abraham took Ishmael his son and all born of his house and all bought with his silver—every male among the men of the house of Abraham, —and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on this selfsame day, according to that which God had spoken with him.
24 A bješe Avramu devedeset i devet godina kad obreza okrajak tijela svojega.
Now Abraham, was ninety-nine years old, —when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25 A Ismailu sinu njegovu bješe trinaest godina kad mu se obreza okrajak tijela njegova.
And Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
26 U jedan dan obreza se Avram i sin mu Ismailo,
On this selfsame day, was Abraham circumcised, —and Ishmael his son;
27 I svi domašnji njegovi, roðeni u kuæi i kupljeni za novce od stranaca, biše obrezani s njim.
and, all the men of his house, born of his house, and bought with silver from the son of a stranger, were circumcised with him.
