Postanak 24
1 A Avram bješe star i vremenit, i Gospod bješe blagoslovio Avrama u svemu;
And Abraam was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraam in all things.
2 I reèe Avram sluzi svojemu najstarijemu u kuæi svojoj, koji bješe nad svijem dobrom njegovijem: metni ruku svoju pod stegno moje,
And Abraam said to his servant the elder of his house, who had rule over all his possessions, Put thy hand under my thigh,
3 Da te zakunem Gospodom Bogom nebeskim i Bogom zemaljskim da neæeš dovesti žene sinu mojemu izmeðu kæeri ovijeh Hananeja, meðu kojima živim;
and I will adjure thee by the Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou take not a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Chananites, with whom I dwell, in the midst of them.
4 Nego da æeš otiæi u zemlju moju i u rod moj i dovesti ženu sinu mojemu Isaku.
But thou shalt go instead to my country, where I was born, and to my tribe, and thou shalt take from thence a wife for my son Isaac.
5 A sluga mu reèe: i ako djevojka ne htjedbude poæi sa mnom u ovu zemlju; hoæu li odvesti sina tvojega u zemlju iz koje si se iselio?
And the servant said to him, Shall I carry back thy son to the land whence thou camest forth, if haply the woman should not be willing to return with me to this land?
6 A Avram mu reèe: pazi da ne odvedeš sina mojega onamo.
And Abraam said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou carry not my son back thither.
7 Gospod Bog nebeski, koji me je uzeo iz doma oca mojega i iz zemlje roda mojega, i koji mi je rekao i zakleo mi se govoreæi: sjemenu æu tvojemu dati zemlju ovu, on æe poslati anðela svojega pred tobom da dovedeš ženu sinu mojemu odande.
The Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land whence I sprang, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, I will give this land to thee and to thy seed, he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife to my son from thence.
8 Ako li djevojka ne htjedbude poæi s tobom, onda da ti je prosta zakletva moja; samo sina mojega nemoj odvesti onamo.
And if the woman should not be willing to come with thee into this land, thou shalt be clear from my oath, only carry not my son thither again.
9 I metnu sluga ruku svoju pod stegno Avramu gospodaru svojemu, i zakle mu se za ovo.
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraam, and swore to him concerning this matter.
10 Tada sluga uze deset kamila izmeðu kamila gospodara svojega da ide, jer sve blago gospodara njegova bješe pod njegovom rukom; i otišav doðe u Mesopotamiju do grada Nahorova.
And the servant took ten camels of his master's camels, and [he took] of all the goods of his master with him, and he arose and went into Mesopotamia to the city of Nachor.
11 I pusti kamile da poliježu iza grada kod studenca pred veèe kad izlaze graðanke da zahvataju vode;
And he rested his camels without the city by the well of water towards evening, when damsels go forth to draw water.
12 I reèe: Gospode Bože gospodara mojega Avrama, daj mi sreæu danas i uèini milost gospodaru mojemu Avramu.
And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraam, prosper my way before me to day, and deal mercifully with my master Abraam.
13 Evo, ja æu stajati kod ovoga studenca, a graðanke æe doæi da zahvataju vode.
Lo! I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of them that inhabit the city come forth to draw water.
14 Kojoj djevojci reèem: nagni krèag svoj da se napijem, a ona reèe: na pij, i kamile æu ti napojiti; daj to da bude ona koju si namijenio sluzi svojemu Isaku; i po tome da poznam da si uèinio milost gospodaru mojemu.
And it shall be, the virgin to whomsoever I shall say, Incline thy water-pot, that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink thou, and I will give thy camels drink, until they shall have done drinking—even this one thou hast prepared for thy servant Isaac, and hereby shall I know that thou hast dealt mercifully with my master Abraam.
15 I on još ne izgovori, a to Reveka, kæi Vatuila sina Melhe žene Nahora brata Avramova, doðe s krèagom na ramenu.
And it came to pass before he had done speaking in his mind, that behold, Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, the wife of Nachor, and [the same] the brother of Abraam, came forth, having a water-pot on her shoulders.
16 I bješe vrlo lijepa, još djevojka, još je èovjek ne bješe poznao. Ona siðe na izvor, i natoèi krèag, i poðe;
And the virgin was very beautiful in appearance, she was a virgin, a man had not known her; and she went down to the well, and filled her water-pot, and came up.
17 A sluga iskoèi pred nju i reèe: daj mi da se napijem malo vode iz krèaga tvojega.
And the servant ran up to meet her, and said, Give me a little water to drink out of thy pitcher;
18 A ona reèe: na pij, gospodaru. I brže spusti krèag na ruku svoju, i napoji ga.
and she said, Drink, Sir; and she hasted, and let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him to drink, till he ceased drinking.
19 I kad ga napoji, reèe: i kamilama æu tvojim naliti neka se napiju.
And she said, I will also draw water for thy camels, till they shall all have drunk.
20 I brže izruèi krèag svoj u pojilo, pa opet otrèa na studenac da nalije, i nali svijem kamilama njegovijem.
And she hasted, and emptied the water-pot into the trough, and ran to the well to draw again, and drew water for all the camels.
21 A èovjek joj se divljaše, i æutaše, neæe li poznati je li Gospod dao sreæu putu njegovu ili nije.
And the man took great notice of her, and remained silent to know whether the Lord had made his way prosperous or not.
22 A kad se kamile napiše, izvadi èovjek zlatnu grivnu od po sikla i metnu joj oko èela, i dvije narukvice metnu joj na ruke od deset sikala zlata.
And it came to pass when all the camels ceased drinking, that the man took golden ear-rings, each of a drachm weight, and he [put] two bracelets on her hands, their weight was ten pieces of gold.
23 I reèe: èija si kæi? kaži mi. Ima li u kuæi oca tvojega mjesta za nas da prenoæimo?
And he asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? Tell me if there is room for us to lodge with thy father.
24 A ona mu reèe: ja sam kæi Vatuila sina Melšina, kojega rodi Nahoru.
And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bathuel the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
25 Još reèe: ima u nas mnogo slame i piæe i mjesta za noæište.
And she said to him, We have both straw and much provender, and a place for resting.
26 Tada èovjek savivši se pokloni se Gospodu,
And the man being well pleased, worshipped the Lord,
27 I reèe: blagosloven da je Gospod Bog gospodara mojega Avrama, što ne ostavi milosti svoje i vjere svoje prema gospodaru mojem, i putem dovede me Gospod u dom rodbine gospodara mojega.
and said, Blessed be the Lord the God of my master Abraam, who has not suffered his righteousness to fail, nor his truth from my master, and the Lord has brought me prosperously to the house of the brother of my lord.
28 A djevojka otrèa i sve ovo kaza u domu matere svoje.
And the damsel ran and reported to the house of her mother according to these words.
29 A Reveka imaše brata, kojemu ime bješe Lavan; i istrèa Lavan k èovjeku na studenac,
And Rebecca had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to meet the man, to the well.
30 Kako vidje grivnu i narukvice na rukama sestre svoje i èu gdje Reveka sestra mu reèe: tako mi kaza èovjek; doðe k èovjeku; a on stajaše kod kamila na studencu.
And it came to pass when he saw the ear-rings and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heard the words of Rebecca his sister, saying, Thus the man spoke to me, that he went to the man, as he stood by the camels at the well.
31 I reèe: hodi, koji si blagosloven od Gospoda; što bi stajao napolju? spremio sam kuæu, ima mjesta i za kamile.
And he said to him, Come in hither, thou blessed of the Lord, why standest thou without, whereas I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?
32 I dovede èovjeka u kuæu, i rastovari kamile; i dadoše slame i piæe kamilama, i donesoše vode za noge njemu i ljudima što bijahu s njim;
And the man entered into the house, and unloaded the camels, and gave the camels straw and provender, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were with him.
33 I postaviše mu da jede; ali on reèe: neæu jesti dokle ne kažem stvar svoju. A Lavan mu reèe: govori.
And he set before them loaves to eat; but he said, I will not eat, until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.
34 Tada reèe: ja sam sluga Avramov.
And he said, I am a servant of Abraam;
35 A Gospod je blagoslovio gospodara mojega veoma, te je postao velik, i dao mu je ovaca i goveda, i srebra i zlata, i sluga i sluškinja, i kamila i magaraca.
and the Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he is exalted, and he has given him sheep, and calves, and silver, and gold, servants and servant-maids, camels, and asses.
36 I još Sara žena gospodara mojega rodi sina gospodaru mojemu u starosti njegovoj, i on mu dade sve što ima.
And Sarrha my master's wife bore one son to my master after he had grown old; and he gave him whatever he had.
37 A mene zakle gospodar moj govoreæi: nemoj dovesti sinu mojemu žene izmeðu kæeri ovijeh Hananeja, meðu kojima živim;
And my master caused me to swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Chananites, among whom I sojourn in their land.
38 Nego idi u dom oca mojega i u rod moj, da dovedeš ženu sinu mojemu.
But thou shalt go to the house of my father, and to my tribe, and thou shalt take thence a wife for my son.
39 A ja rekoh gospodaru svojemu: može biti da djevojka neæe htjeti poæi sa mnom.
And I said to my master, Haply the woman will not go with me.
40 A on mi reèe: Gospod, po èijoj volji svagda življah, poslaæe anðela svojega s tobom, i daæe sreæu tvojemu putu da dovedeš ženu sinu mojemu od roda mojega, iz doma oca mojega.
And he said to me, The Lord God to whom I have been acceptable in his presence, himself shall send out his angel with thee, and shall prosper thy journey, and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my tribe, and of the house of my father.
41 Onda æe ti biti prosta zakletva moja, kad otideš u rod moj; ako ti je i ne dadu, opet æe ti biti prosta zakletva moja.
Then shalt thou be clear from my curse, for whensoever thou shalt have come to my tribe, and they shall not give her to thee, then shalt thou be clear from my oath.
42 I kad doðoh danas na studenac, rekoh: Gospode Bože gospodara mojega Avrama, ako si dao sreæu putu mojemu, kojim idem,
And having come this day to the well, I said, Lord God of my master Abraam, if thou prosperest my journey on which I am now going,
43 Evo, ja æu stajati kod studenca: koja djevojka doðe da zahvati vode, i ja joj kažem: daj mi da se napijem malo vode iz krèaga tvojega,
behold, I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come forth to draw water, and it shall be [that] the damsel to whom I shall say, Give me a little water to drink out of thy pitcher,
44 A ona mi odgovori: i ti pij i kamilama æu tvojim naliti; to neka bude žena koju je namijenio Gospod sinu gospodara mojega.
and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will draw water for thy camels, this [shall be] the wife whom the Lord has prepared for his own servant Isaac; and hereby shall I know that thou hast wrought mercy with my master Abraam.
45 Ja još ne izgovorih u srcu svojem, a doðe Reveka s krèagom na ramenu, i sišavši na izvor zahvati; i ja joj rekoh: daj mi da se napijem.
And it came to pass before I had done speaking in my mind, straightway Rebecca came forth, having her pitcher on her shoulders; and she went down to the well, and drew water; and I said to her, Give me to drink.
46 A ona brže spustivši sa sebe krèag reèe: na pij, i kamile æu ti napojiti. I kad se napih, napoji i kamile moje.
And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her arm from her head, and said, Drink thou, and I will give thy camels drink; and I drank, and she gave the camels drink.
47 I zapitah je govoreæi: èija si kæi? A ona odgovori: ja sam kæi Vatuila sina Nahorova, kojega mu rodi Melha. Tada joj metnuh grivnu oko èela i narukvice na ruke;
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me; and she said, I am daughter of Bathuel the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him; and I put on her the ear-rings, and the bracelets on her hands.
48 I padoh i poklonih se Gospodu, i zahvalih Gospodu Bogu gospodara mojega Avrama, što me dovede pravijem putem da naðem kæer brata gospodara svojega za sina njegova.
And being well-pleased I worshipped the Lord, and I blessed the Lord the God of my master Abraam, who has prospered me in a true way, so that I should take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.
49 Ako æete dakle uèiniti ljubav i vjeru gospodaru mojemu, kažite mi; ako li neæete, kažite mi, da idem na desno ili na lijevo.
If then ye [will] deal mercifully and justly with my lord, [tell me], and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.
50 A Lavan i Vatuilo odgovarajuæi rekoše: od Gospoda je ovo došlo; mi ti ne možemo kazati ni zlo ni dobro.
And Laban and Bathuel answered and said, This matter has come forth from the Lord, we shall not be able to answer thee bad or good.
51 Eto, Reveka je u tvojoj vlasti, uzmi je pa idi, i neka bude žena sinu tvojega gospodara, kao što kaza Gospod.
Behold, Rebecca is before thee, take her and go away, and let her be wife to the son of thy master, as the Lord has said.
52 A kad èu sluga Avramov rijeèi njihove, pokloni se Gospodu do zemlje;
And it came to pass when the servant of Abraam heard these words, he bowed himself to the Lord down to the earth.
53 I izvadi sluga zaklade srebrne i zlatne i haljine, i dade Reveci; takoðer i bratu njezinu i materi njezinoj dade darove.
And the servant having brought forth jewels of silver and gold and raiment, gave them to Rebecca, and gave gifts to her brother, and to her mother.
54 Potom jedoše i piše on i ljudi koji bijahu s njim, i prenoæiše. A kad ujutru ustaše, reèe sluga: pustite me gospodaru mojemu.
And both he and the men with him ate and drank and went to sleep. And he arose in the morning and said, Send me away, that I may go to my master.
55 A brat i mati njezina rekoše: neka ostane djevojka kod nas koji dan, barem deset dana, pa onda neka ide.
And her brethren and her mother said, Let the virgin remain with us about ten days, and after that she shall depart.
56 A on im reèe: nemojte me zadržavati, kad je Gospod dao sreæu mojemu putu; pustite me da idem gospodaru svojemu.
But he said to them, Hinder me not, for the Lord has prospered my journey for me; send me away, that I may depart to my master.
57 Tada rekoše: da zovemo djevojku, i upitamo šta ona veli.
And they said, Let us call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
58 I dozvaše Reveku i rekoše joj: hoæeš iæi s ovijem èovjekom? A ona odgovori: hoæu.
And they called Rebecca, and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? and she said, I will go.
59 I pustiše Reveku sestru svoju i dojkinju njezinu sa slugom Avramovijem i ljudima njegovijem.
So they sent forth Rebecca their sister, and her goods, and the servant of Abraam, and his attendants.
60 I blagosloviše Reveku i rekoše joj: sestro naša, da se namnožiš na tisuæe tisuæa, i sjeme tvoje da naslijedi vrata svojih neprijatelja!
And they blessed Rebecca, and said to her, Thou art our sister; become thou thousands of myriads, and let thy seed possess the cities of their enemies.
61 I podiže se Reveka s djevojkama svojim, i posjedaše na kamile, i poðoše s èovjekom; i sluga uzev Reveku otide.
And Rebecca rose up and her maidens, and they mounted the camels and went with the man; and the servant having taken up Rebecca, departed.
62 A Isak iðaše vraæajuæi se od studenca živoga koji me vidi jer življaše u južnom kraju
And Isaac went through the wilderness to the well of the vision, and he dwelt in the land toward the south.
63 A bješe izašao Isak u polje pred veèe da se pomoli Bogu; i podigav oèi svoje ugleda kamile gdje idu.
And Isaac went forth into the plain toward evening to meditate; and having lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming.
64 I Reveka podigavši oèi svoje ugleda Isaka, te skoèi s kamile,
And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac; and she alighted briskly from the camel,
65 I reèe sluzi: ko je onaj èovjek što ide preko polja pred nas? A sluga reèe: ono je gospodar moj. I ona uze pokrivalo i pokri lice.
and said to the servant, Who is that man that walks in the plain to meet us? And the servant said, This is my master; and she took her veil and covered herself.
66 I pripovjedi sluga Isaku sve što je svršio.
And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
67 I odvede je Isak u šator Sare matere svoje; i uze Reveku, i ona mu posta žena, i omilje mu. I Isak se utješi za materom svojom.
And Isaac went into the house of his mother, and took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted for Sarrha his mother.
