Postanak 21
1 I Gospod pohodi Saru, kao što bješe rekao, i uèini Gospod Sari kao što bješe kazao.
Yahweh was very kind to Sarah, just as he said he would be. He did for Sarah exactly what he promised to do.
2 Jer zatrudnje i rodi Sara Avramu sina u starosti njegovoj u isto vrijeme kad kaza Gospod.
She became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Abraham when he was very old, at the time God promised it would happen.
3 I Avram nadjede ime sinu koji mu se rodi, kojega mu rodi Sara, Isak.
Abraham gave the name ‘Isaac’ (which means ‘he laughs’) to the son Sarah gave birth to.
4 I obreza Avram sina svojega Isaka kad bi od osam dana, kao što mu zapovjedi Bog.
Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when his son was eight days old, just as God commanded him to do.
5 A Avramu bješe sto godina kad mu se rodi sin Isak.
Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born.
6 A Sara reèe: Bog mi uèini smijeh; ko god èuje, smijaæe mi se.
And Sarah said, “[Although I was sad before because I did not have any children], God has now enabled me to laugh, and everyone who hears about what God has done for me will laugh with me.”
7 I reèe: ko bi rekao Avramu da æe Sara dojiti djecu? ipak mu rodih sina u starosti njegovoj.
Then she also said, “No one would have said to Abraham that some day Sarah would nurse a child, but I have given birth to a son when Abraham is very old.”
8 A kad dijete doraste da se odbije od sise, uèini Avram veliku gozbu onaj dan kad odbiše Isaka od sise.
The baby grew and was weaned [when he was about three years old]. On that day, Abraham prepared a large feast to celebrate.
9 I Sara vidje sina Agare Misirke, koja ga rodi Avramu, gdje se potsmijeva;
([One day/During the feast)] Sarah noticed that Hagar’s son Ishmael was (making fun of/playing with) Isaac.
10 Pa reèe Avramu: otjeraj ovu robinju sa sinom njezinijem, jer sin ove robinje neæe biti našljednik s mojim sinom, s Isakom.
So she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman from Egypt and her son! I do not want the son of that slave woman to be alone (OR, to be an heir along with) my son, Isaac!”
11 A to Avramu bi vrlo krivo radi sina njegova.
Abraham was very distressed about the matter, because he was concerned about his son [Ishmael].
12 Ali Bog reèe Avramu: nemoj da ti je krivo radi djeteta i radi robinje tvoje. Što ti je god kazala Sara, poslušaj; jer æe ti se u Isaku sjeme prozvati.
But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about your son, Ishmael, and about your maidservant, Hagar. Do everything that Sarah tells you to do. Listen to her, because Isaac is the one who will be considered the ancestor of the descendants I promised to give you.
13 Ali æu i od sina robinjina uèiniti narod, jer je tvoje sjeme.
But I will also cause the son of your maidservant to be the ancestor of the people of a great nation [MTY], because he is also your son.”
14 I Avram ustav ujutru rano, uze hljeba i mješinu vode, i dade Agari metnuvši joj na leða, i dijete, i otpusti je. A ona otišavši lutaše po pustinji Virsavskoj.
So Abraham got up early the next morning. He got some food ready, put water in a container, and gave them to Hagar. He put them [in a bag] on her shoulder and sent them away. They wandered in the desert near Beersheba [town].
15 A kad nesta vode u mješini, ona baci dijete pod jedno drvo,
After they had drunk all the water in the container, she put her son under one of the bushes there.
16 Pa otide koliko se može strijelom dobaciti, i sjede prema njemu; jer govoraše: da ne gledam kako æe umrijeti dijete. I sjedeæi prema njemu stade iza glasa plakati.
Then she went and sat nearby, about (as far as someone can shoot an arrow/100 meters away), because she thought, “I cannot endure seeing my son die!” As she sat there, she began to cry [loudly] [MTY].
17 A Bog èu glas djetinji, i anðeo Božji viknu s neba Agaru, i reèe joj: što ti je, Agaro? ne boj se, jer Bog èu glas djetinji odande gdje je.
[The boy was crying too.] And God heard the boy crying. So he caused one of his angels to call out from heaven to Hagar, saying, “Hagar, are you worried about something? Do not be afraid, because God has heard the boy crying there.
18 Ustani, digni dijete i uzmi ga u naruèje; jer æu od njega uèiniti velik narod.
Help your son up, and hold his hand as you leave, because I will cause his descendants to become a great nation.”
19 I Bog joj otvori oèi, te ugleda studenac; i otišavši napuni mješinu vode, i napoji dijete.
Then God showed her a well of water. So she went to the well and filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
20 I Bog bijaše s djetetom, te odraste, i življaše u pustinji, i posta strijelac.
God helped the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became a good (archer/man who hunts with bow and arrows).
21 A življaše u pustinji Faranu. I mati ga oženi iz zemlje Misirske.
He lived in Paran Desert. While e was there, Hagar got a wife for him from Egypt.
22 U to vrijeme reèe Avimeleh i Fihol vojvoda njegov Avramu govoreæi: Bog je s tobom u svemu što radiš.
At that time, [King] Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham, “It is clear that God helps you with everything that you do.
23 Zakuni mi se sada Bogom da neæeš prevariti mene ni sina mojega ni unuka mojega, nego da æeš dobro onako kako sam ja tebi èinio i ti èiniti meni i zemlji u kojoj si došljak.
So now (solemnly promise/swear) to me here, as God is listening, that you will (not deceive/act fairly to) me and my children and my descendants, in return for my being kind to you. Be kind to me and to all the people here in the country where you are now living.”
24 A Avram reèe: hoæu se zakleti.
So Abraham promised to do that.
25 Ali Avram prekori Avimeleha za studenac, koji uzeše na silu sluge Avimelehove.
[Then] Abraham complained to Abimelech about one of Abraham’s wells that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
26 A Avimeleh reèe: ne znam ko je to uèinio; niti mi ti kaza, niti èuh do danas.
But Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done that. You did not tell me previously, and I did not hear about it until today.”
27 Tada Avram uze ovaca i goveda, i dade Avimelehu, i uhvatiše vjeru meðu sobom.
So Abraham brought some sheep and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a (treaty/peace agreement).
28 I Avram odluèi sedam jaganjaca iz stada.
Abraham separated seven female lambs from his flock.
29 A Avimeleh reèe Avramu: šta æe ono sedam jaganjaca što si odluèio?
Abimelech asked Abraham, “What are these seven female lambs that you have separated from the rest of your flock?”
30 A on odgovori: da primiš iz moje ruke ono sedam jaganjaca, da mi bude svjedoèanstvo da sam ja iskopao ovaj studenac.
Abraham replied, “I want you truly to accept these female lambs from me [SYN], so that it may be a (public witness/proof) that this well belongs to me because I dug it.”
31 Otuda se prozva ono mjesto Vir-Saveja, jer se ondje zakleše obojica.
So Abimelech accepted the animals, and as a result they called that place Beersheba, [which means ‘Friendship Agreement Well’, ] because there the two of them made that agreement.
32 Tako uhvatiše vjeru na Virsaveji. Tada se diže Avimeleh i Fihol vojvoda njegov, i vratiše se u zemlju Filistejsku.
After they made the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and his army commander, Phicol, left, and returned to the land of the Philistine people-group.
33 A Avram posadi lug na Virsaveji, i ondje prizva ime Gospoda Boga vjeènoga.
Abraham planted a (tamarisk tree/kind of tree called esel) there, and he worshiped the eternal God there.
34 I Avram življaše kao došljak u zemlji Filistejskoj mnogo vremena.
Abraham lived in the land of the Philistine people-group for a long time.
