Postanak 24
1 A Avram bješe star i vremenit, i Gospod bješe blagoslovio Avrama u svemu;
And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham 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 Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, 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 make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 Nego da æeš otiæi u zemlju moju i u rod moj i dovesti ženu sinu mojemu Isaku.
But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto 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 unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
6 A Avram mu reèe: pazi da ne odvedeš sina mojega onamo.
And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
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 God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto 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 will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring 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 Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that 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 the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master [were] in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
11 I pusti kamile da poliježu iza grada kod studenca pred veèe kad izlaze graðanke da zahvataju vode;
And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, [even] the time that women go out 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 Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
13 Evo, ja æu stajati kod ovoga studenca, a graðanke æe doæi da zahvataju vode.
Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out 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 let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: [let the same be] she [that] thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
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, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
16 I bješe vrlo lijepa, još djevojka, još je èovjek ne bješe poznao. Ona siðe na izvor, i natoèi krèag, i poðe;
And the damsel [was] very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, 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 to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
18 A ona reèe: na pij, gospodaru. I brže spusti krèag na ruku svoju, i napoji ga.
And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
19 I kad ga napoji, reèe: i kamilama æu tvojim naliti neka se napiju.
And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw [water] for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
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 her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw [water], and drew for all his camels.
21 A èovjek joj se divljaše, i æutaše, neæe li poznati je li Gospod dao sreæu putu njegovu ili nije.
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey 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, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten [shekels] weight of gold;
23 I reèe: èija si kæi? kaži mi. Ima li u kuæi oca tvojega mjesta za nas da prenoæimo?
And said, Whose daughter [art] thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room [in] thy father’s house for us to lodge in?
24 A ona mu reèe: ja sam kæi Vatuila sina Melšina, kojega rodi Nahoru.
And she said unto him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
25 Još reèe: ima u nas mnogo slame i piæe i mjesta za noæište.
She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
26 Tada èovjek savivši se pokloni se Gospodu,
And the man bowed down his head, and 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 he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I [being] in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master’s brethren.
28 A djevojka otrèa i sve ovo kaza u domu matere svoje.
And the damsel ran, and told [them of] her mother’s house these things.
29 A Reveka imaše brata, kojemu ime bješe Lavan; i istrèa Lavan k èovjeku na studenac,
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto 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 earring and bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, 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, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room 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 came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men’s feet 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 there was set [meat] before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
34 Tada reèe: ja sam sluga Avramov.
And he said, I [am] Abraham’s servant.
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 hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and 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 Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
37 A mene zakle gospodar moj govoreæi: nemoj dovesti sinu mojemu žene izmeðu kæeri ovijeh Hananeja, meðu kojima živim;
And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 Nego idi u dom oca mojega i u rod moj, da dovedeš ženu sinu mojemu.
But thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
39 A ja rekoh gospodaru svojemu: može biti da djevojka neæe htjeti poæi sa mnom.
And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow 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 unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:
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 [this] my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee [one], thou shalt 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 I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
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 it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw [water], and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
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 say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: [let] the same [be] the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master’s son.
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 before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew [water: ] and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
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 made haste, and let down her pitcher from her [shoulder], and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
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? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon 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 I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter unto 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.
And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, 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.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto 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, Rebekah [is] before thee, take [her], and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
52 A kad èu sluga Avramov rijeèi njihove, pokloni se Gospodu do zemlje;
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, [bowing himself] 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 brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave [them] to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
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 they did eat and drink, he and the men that [were] with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto 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 brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us [a few] days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
56 A on im reèe: nemojte me zadržavati, kad je Gospod dao sreæu mojemu putu; pustite me da idem gospodaru svojemu.
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
57 Tada rekoše: da zovemo djevojku, i upitamo šta ona veli.
And they said, We will 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 Rebekah, and said unto 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.
And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.
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 Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou [art] our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
61 I podiže se Reveka s djevojkama svojim, i posjedaše na kamile, i poðoše s èovjekom; i sluga uzev Reveku otide.
And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 A Isak iðaše vraæajuæi se od studenca živoga koji me vidi jer življaše u južnom kraju
And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country.
63 A bješe izašao Isak u polje pred veèe da se pomoli Bogu; i podigav oèi svoje ugleda kamile gdje idu.
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels [were] coming.
64 I Reveka podigavši oèi svoje ugleda Isaka, te skoèi s kamile,
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off 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.
For she [had] said unto the servant, What man [is] this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant [had] said, It [is] my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
66 I pripovjedi sluga Isaku sve što je svršio.
And the servant told Isaac all things 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 brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s [death].
