Postanak 24
1 A Avram bješe star i vremenit, i Gospod bješe blagoslovio Avrama u svemu;
And Abraham was old, well stricken in years; 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 servant, the eldest of his house, who 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 from 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 unto my country, and to my birthplace shalt thou go, and take a wife unto my son, unto 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 then bring thy son again unto the land from which 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, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my birth, and who spoke unto me, and who swore unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land: he will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from there.
8 Ako li djevojka ne htjedbude poæi s tobom, onda da ti je prosta zakletva moja; samo sina mojega nemoj odvesti onamo.
But if the woman should not be willing to follow thee, then shalt, thou be clear from this my oath: only my son thou shalt not bring thither again.
9 I metnu sluga ruku svoju pod stegno Avramu gospodaru svojemu, i zakle mu se za ovo.
And the put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, 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 the camels of his master, and departed, with all kinds of precious things of his master in his hand; and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nachor.
11 I pusti kamile da poliježu iza grada kod studenca pred veèe kad izlaze graðanke da zahvataju vode;
And he made the camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, at the time that the 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, the God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and deal kindly with my master Abraham.
13 Evo, ja æu stajati kod ovoga studenca, a graðanke æe doæi da zahvataju vode.
Behold, I stand 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 maiden to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and to thy camels also will I give drink, be the one thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shown 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 yet finished speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, the son of Milcah, the wife of Nachor, 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 maiden was of a very handsome appearance, 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 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, my lord; and she hastened, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him to drink.
19 I kad ga napoji, reèe: i kamilama æu tvojim naliti neka se napiju.
And when she had finished giving him drink, she said, Also for thy camels will I draw water, until they have finished drinking.
20 I brže izruèi krèag svoj u pojilo, pa opet otrèa na studenac da nalije, i nali svijem kamilama njegovijem.
And she hastened, 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 was wondering at her; remaining silent, to discover 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 finished drinking, that the man took a golden earring, half a shekel in weight, and two bracelets for her hands, ten gold shekels in weight;
23 I reèe: èija si kæi? kaži mi. Ima li u kuæi oca tvojega mjesta za nas da prenoæimo?
And he said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee; is there room in thy father's house for us to stay this night 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, whom she bore unto Nachor.
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 in plenty, as also room to lodge in.
26 Tada èovjek savivši se pokloni se Gospodu,
And the man bowed down his head, and prostrated himself before 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, the God of my master Abraham, who hath not withdrawn his mercy and his truth from my master; I being on the way, which the Lord hath led me, to the house of the brethren of my master.
28 A djevojka otrèa i sve ovo kaza u domu matere svoje.
And the maiden ran, and told at 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 this came to pass, when he saw the earring and the bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man unto me; and he came unto the man; and, behold, he was standing 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? while 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 the camels; and he gave straw and provender for the camels, 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 there was set food before him to eat; but he said, I will not eat, until I have spoken my words. 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 men-servants, and maid-servants, 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 bore a son to my master after she was become old: and he hath given unto him 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 for my son from 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 have walked will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; that thou mayest take a wife for my son from my kindred, and from 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 my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they do not give thee one, [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 I came this day unto the well, and said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if thou wouldst but prosper my way on which I am 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 it shall be the young woman who cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water out 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 also for thy camels will I draw: this shall be the wife whom the Lord hath destined 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 yet finished speaking to my own 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 also to thy camels I will give drink; and 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, Nachor's son, whom Milcah bore 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 prostrated myself before the Lord; and I blessed the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to 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.
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, 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 hath proceeded 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 the wife of thy master's son, as the Lord hath spoken.
52 A kad èu sluga Avramov rijeèi njihove, pokloni se Gospodu do zemlje;
And it came to pass, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he prostrated himself to the earth unto the Lord.
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 vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah; and precious things he gave 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 they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried the 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 maiden abide with us, a year or ten months; 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 maiden, and inquire her own decision.
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 thereupon 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, Our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of myriads, and let thy seed possess the gate of those who 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 with her maidens, 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 a walk to the well Lachai-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 was gone out to meditate in the field toward evening; and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, camels were coming.
64 I Reveka podigavši oèi svoje ugleda Isaka, te skoèi s kamile,
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and she saw Isaac; and she alighted 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.
And she said unto the servant, Who is yonder man that walketh in the field toward us? And the servant said, This 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 the 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 the tent of Sarah his mother, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
