1 Мојсијева 24
1 А Аврам беше стар и временит, и Господ беше благословио Аврама у свему;
Now Abraham was old, well advanced in days, and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 И рече Аврам слузи свом најстаријем у кући својој, који беше над свим добром његовим: Метни руку своју под стегно моје,
And Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his household, who was in charge over all that he had, "Please put your hand under my thigh,
3 Да те закунем Господом Богом небеским и Богом земаљским да нећеш довести жене сину мом између кћери ових Хананеја, међу којима живим;
and I will make you swear by the God of heaven and earth, that you must not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living,
4 Него да ћеш отићи у земљу моју и у род мој и довести жену сину мом Исаку.
but you must go to my country and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son Isaac."
5 А слуга му рече: и ако девојка не хтедбуде поћи са мном у ову земљу; хоћу ли одвести сина твог у земљу из које си се иселио?
And the servant asked him, "What if the woman isn't willing to follow me to this land? Must I then bring your son back to the land from which you came?"
6 А Аврам му рече: Пази да не одведеш сина мог онамо.
Then Abraham told him, "Be careful that you do not take my son back there.
7 Господ Бог небески, који ме је узео из дома оца мог и из земље рода мог, и који ми је рекао и заклео ми се говорећи: Семену ћу твом дати земљу ову, Он ће послати анђела свог пред тобом да доведеш жену сину мом оданде.
Now the God of heaven, who took me from my father's household and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, 'I will give this land to your offspring' -- he will send his angel before you, and you will get a wife for my son from there.
8 Ако ли девојка не хтедбуде поћи с тобом, онда да ти је проста заклетва моја; само сина мог немој одвести онамо.
But if the woman isn't willing to follow you, then you will be free from this oath to me. Only you must not bring my son back there."
9 И метну слуга руку своју под стегно Авраму господару свом, и закле му се за ово.
So the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and gave his oath to him concerning this matter.
10 Тада слуга узе десет камила између камила господара свог да иде, јер све благо господара његовог беше под његовом руком; и отишавши дође у Месопотамију до града Нахоровог.
Then the servant took ten camels from his master's camels and departed, having a variety of good things from his master at his disposal, and he set out and went to Aram Naharaim, to the city of Nahor.
11 И пусти камиле да полежу иза града код студенца пред вече кад излазе грађанке да захватају воде;
And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time when women go out to draw water.
12 И рече: Господе Боже господара мог Аврама, дај ми срећу данас и учини милост господару мом Авраму.
Then he said, "God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13 Ево, ја ћу стајати код овог студенца, а грађанке ће доћи да захватају воде.
Look, I am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
14 Којој девојци кажем: Нагни крчаг свој да се напијем, а она рече: На пиј, и камиле ћу ти напојити; дај то да буде она коју си наменио слузи свом Исаку; и по томе да познам да си учинио милост господару мом.
Now may it happen that the young woman to whom I will say, 'Please lower your jug that I may drink,' and she answers, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,'—her you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master."
15 И он још не изговори, а то Ревека, кћи Ватуила сина Мелхе жене Нахора брата Аврамовог, дође с крчагом на рамену.
And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that look, Rebekah was coming out with her jug on her shoulder—who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother.
16 И беше врло лепа, још девојка, још је човек не беше познао. Она сиђе на извор, и наточи крчаг, и пође;
Now the young woman was very beautiful in appearance, a virgin; no man had ever slept with her. And she went down to the spring and filled her jug and came up.
17 А слуга искочи пред њу, и рече; дај ми да се напијем мало воде из крчага твог.
Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, "Please give me a little water to drink from your jug."
18 А она рече: На пиј, господару. И брже спусти крчаг на руку своју, и напоји га.
So she said, "Drink, my lord." And she hurried and let down her jug to her hands, and gave him a drink.
19 И кад га напоји, рече: и камилама ћу твојим налити нека се напију.
Now when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking."
20 И брже изручи крчаг свој у појило, па опет отрча на студенац да налије, и нали свим камилама његовим.
So she hurried and emptied her jug into the trough and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
21 А човек јој се дивљаше, и ћуташе, неће ли познати је ли Господ дао срећу путу његовом или није.
And the man watched her in silence so as to know whether God had made his journey successful or not.
22 А кад се камиле напише, извади човек златну гривну од по сикала и метну јој око чела, и две наруквице метну јој на руке од десет сикала злата.
And it happened, as the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a gold ring weighing a beka, which he put on her nose, and two bracelets for her hands weighing ten pieces of gold,
23 И рече: Чија си кћи? Кажи ми. Има ли у кући оца твог места за нас да преноћимо?
and said, "Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to lodge?"
24 А она му рече: Ја сам кћи Ватуила сина Мелшиног, кога роди Нахору.
Then she said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."
25 Још рече: Има у нас много сламе и пиће и места за ноћиште.
And she also said to him, "We have plenty of straw and fodder, and room to lodge."
26 Тада човек савивши се поклони се Господу,
Then the man bowed his head and worshiped God,
27 И рече: Благословен да је Господ Бог господара мог Аврама, што не остави милост своју и веру своју према господару мом, и путем доведе ме Господ у дом родбине господара мог.
and said, "Blessed be the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, he has led me on the journey to the house of my master's relatives."
28 А девојка отрча и све ово каза у дому матере своје.
Then the young woman ran, and told her mother's household about these words.
29 А Ревека имаше брата, коме име беше Лаван; и истрча Лаван к човеку на студенац,
Now Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban, and he ran out to the man at the spring.
30 Како виде гривну и наруквице на рукама сестре своје и чу где Ревека сестра му рече: Тако ми каза човек; дође к човеку; а он стајаше код камила на студенцу.
And it happened, when he saw the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister's wrists, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, "This is what the man said to me," that he went to the man. And look, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
31 И рече: Ходи, који си благословен од Господа; што би стајао напољу? Спремио сам кућу, има места и за камиле.
And he said, "Come in, you blessed of God. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house and room for the camels."
32 И доведе човека у кућу, и растовари камиле; и додаше сламе и пиће камилама, и донесоше воде за ноге њему и људима што беху с њим;
So the man went into the house and he unloaded the camels. And he gave straw and fodder for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
33 И поставише му да једе; али он рече: Нећу јести докле не кажем ствар своју. А Лаван му рече: Говори.
And he set before him food to eat, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told my message." And he said, "Say it."
34 Тада рече: Ја сам слуга Аврамов.
So he said, "I am Abraham's servant.
35 А Господ је благословио господара мог веома, те је постао велик, и дао му је оваца и говеда, и сребра и злата, и слуга и слушкиња, и камила и магараца.
And the Lord has blessed my master greatly, so that he has become great, and he has given him sheep and cattle, and silver and gold, and male servants and female servants, camels and donkeys.
36 И још Сара жена господара мог роди сина господару мом у старости његовој, и он му даде све што има.
And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old, and to him he has given all that he has.
37 А мене закле господар мој говорећи: Немој довести сину мом жене између кћери ових Хананеја, међу којима живим;
Now my master put me under oath, saying, 'You must not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
38 Него иди у дом оца мог и у род мој, да доведеш жену сину мом.
but you must go to my father's house, and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son.'
39 А ја рекох господару свом:
And I said to my master, 'What if the woman will not follow me?'
40 Може бити да девојка неће хтети поћи са мном.
But he said to me, 'God, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and make your journey successful, and you will get a wife for my son from my relatives, and of my father's house.
41 А он ми рече: Господ, по чијој вољи свагда живех, послаће анђела свог с тобом, и даће срећу твом путу да доведеш жену сину мом од рода мог, из дома оца мог.
Then will you be free from my oath, when you come to my relatives. And if they do not give her to you, then you will be free from my oath.'
42 Онда ће ти бити проста заклетва моја, кад отидеш у род мој; ако ти је и не даду, опет ће ти бити проста заклетва моја.
So today I came to the spring, and said, 'God of my master Abraham, if now you will make my journey successful in which I go—
43 И кад дођох данас на студенац, рекох: Господе Боже господара мог Аврама, ако си дао срећу путу мом, којим идем,
look, I am standing by this spring of water, and may it happen that the young woman who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, "Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,"
44 Ево, ја ћу стајати код студенца: која девојка дође да захвати воде, и ја јој кажем: Дај ми да се напијем мало воде из крчага твог,
and she will say to me, "Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,"—may she be the woman who has been chosen for my master's son.'
45 А она ми одговори: и ти пиј и камилама ћу твојим налити; то нека буде жена коју је наменио Господ сину господара мог.
Before I had finished praying in my heart, look, Rebekah came out with her jug on her shoulder, and she went down to the spring, and drew. And I said to her, 'Please give me a drink.'
46 Ја још не изговорих у срцу свом, а дође Ревека с крчагом на рамену, и сишавши на извор захвати; и ја јој рекох: Дај ми да се напијем.
And she quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.' So I drank, and she also gave the camels water.
47 А она брже спустивши са себе крчаг рече: На пиј, и камиле ћу ти напојити. И кад се напих, напоји и камиле моје.
Then I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' And she replied, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her wrists.
48 И запитах је говорећи: Чија си кћи? А она одговори: Ја сам кћи Ватуила сина Нахоровог, ког му роди Мелха. Тада јој метнух гривну око чела и наруквице на руке;
Then I bowed my head and worshiped God, and blessed the God of my master Abraham, who had guided me on the right road to find the granddaughter of my master's brother for his son.
49 И падох и поклоних се Господу, и захвалих Господу Богу господара мог Аврама, што ме доведе правим путем да нађем кћер брата господара свог за сина његовог.
Now if you will show kindness and truth to my master, tell me. And if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left."
50 Ако ћете дакле учинити љубав и веру господару мом, кажите ми; ако ли нећете, кажите ми, да идем на десно или на лево.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered, "The matter comes from God. We can't speak to you bad or good.
51 А Лаван и Ватуило одговарајући рекоше: Од Господа је ово дошло; ми ти не можемо казати ни зло ни добро. Ето, Ревека је у твојој власти, узми је па иди, и нека буде жена сину твог господара, као што каза Господ.
Look, Rebekah is before you. Take, and go, and let her become the wife of your master's son, as God has spoken."
52 А кад чу слуга Аврамов речи њихове, поклони се Господу до земље;
And it happened when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed himself down to the ground.
53 И извади закладе сребрне и златне и хаљине, и даде Ревеци; такође и брату њеном и матери њеној даде дарове.
Then the servant brought out articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. And he also gave valuable gifts to her brother and to her mother.
54 Потом једоше и пише он и људи који беху с њим, и преноћише. А кад ујутру усташе, рече слуга: Пустите ме господару мом.
Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and spent the night. Then they got up in the morning, and he said, "Send me away to my master."
55 А брат и мати њена рекоше: Нека остане девојка код нас који дан, барем десет дана, па онда нека иде.
But her brother and her mother said, "Let the young woman stay with us ten days or so. After that she may go."
56 А он им рече: Немојте ме задржавати, кад је Господ дао срећу мом путу; пустите ме да идем господару свом.
But he said to them, "Do not delay me, seeing that he has made my journey successful. Send me away that I may go to my master."
57 Тада рекоше: Да зовемо девојку, и упитамо шта она вели.
Then they said, "We will call the young woman and ask her."
58 И дозваше Ревеку и рекоше јој: Хоћеш ићи с овим човеком? А она одговори: Хоћу.
So they called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" And she replied, "I will go."
59 И пустише Ревеку сестру своју и дојкињу њену са слугом Аврамовим и људима његовим.
So they sent away their sister Rebekah, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
60 И благословише Ревеку и рекоше јој: Сестро наша, да се намножиш на хиљаде хиљада, и семе твоје да наследи врата својих непријатеља!
And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, "Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and may your descendants possess the gate of those who hate them."
61 И подиже се Ревека с девојкама својим, и поседаше на камиле, и пођоше с човеком; и слуга узевши Ревеку отиде.
And Rebekah and her female servants got ready, and they rode on the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and went on his way.
62 А Исак иђаше враћајући се од студенца Живога који ме виде јер живљаше у јужном крају;
Now Isaac had come from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the land of the Negev.
63 А беше изашао Исак у поље пред вече да се помоли Богу; и подигавши очи своје угледа камиле где иду.
And Isaac went out in the field to think in the early evening. And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and look, he saw camels approaching.
64 И Ревека подигавши очи своје угледа Исака, те скочи с камиле,
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel.
65 И рече слузи: Ко је онај човек што иде преко поља пред нас? А слуга рече: Оно је господар мој. И она узе покривало и покри лице.
And she asked the servant, "Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?" And the servant said, "It is my master." Then she took her veil and covered herself.
66 И приповеди слуга Исаку све што је свршио.
And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
67 И одведе је Исак у шатор Саре матере своје; и узе Ревеку, и она му поста жена, и омиле му. И Исак се утеши за матером својом.
Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. And he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
