1 Mojzes 24
1 Abraham je bil star in že zelo zvrhan v starosti in Gospod je Abrahama blagoslovil v vseh stvareh.
Now Abraham was old, well advanced in days, and YHWH had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 Abraham je najstarejšemu služabniku svoje hiše, ki je vladal nad vsem, kar je imel, rekel: »Položi, prosim te, svojo roko pod moje stegno,
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 jaz pa te bom primoral priseči pri Gospodu, Bogu nebes in Bogu zemlje, da mojemu sinu ne boš vzel žene izmed kánaanskih hčera, med katerimi živim,
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 temveč boš šel v mojo deželo in k mojemu sorodstvu in vzel ženo mojemu sinu Izaku.«
but you must go to my country and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son Isaac."
5 Služabnik pa mu je rekel: »Morda mi ženska ne bo voljna slediti v to deželo. Ali moram tvojega sina ponovno privesti v deželo, od koder si prišel?«
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 Abraham mu je rekel: »Pazi, da mojega sina ne privedeš ponovno tja.
Then Abraham told him, "Be careful that you do not take my son back there.
7 Gospod, Bog nebes, ki me je vzel iz hiše mojega očeta in iz dežele mojega sorodstva in ki mi je govoril in mi to prisegel, rekoč: ›To deželo bom dal tvojemu semenu, ‹ bo pred teboj poslal svojega angela in ti boš mojemu sinu od tam vzel ženo.
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 Če pa ti ženska ne bo voljna slediti, potem boš prost pred to mojo prisego, samo mojega sina ne privedi ponovno tja.«
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 Služabnik je svojo roko položil pod stegno Abrahama, svojega gospodarja in mu glede te zadeve prisegel.
So the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and gave his oath to him concerning this matter.
10 Služabnik je vzel deset kamel izmed kamel svojega gospodarja in se odpravil, kajti vse dobrine njegovega gospodarja so bile v njegovi roki. Vstal je in odšel v Mezopotamijo, v Nahórjevo mesto.
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 Svojim kamelam je storil, da so pokleknile zunaj mesta, pri vodnem izviru, ob večernem času, v času, ko gredo ženske ven zajemat vodo.
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 Rekel je: »Oh Gospod, Bog mojega gospodarja Abrahama, prosim te, pošlji mi danes veliko sreče in mojemu gospodarju Abrahamu izkaži prijaznost.
Then he said, "God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13 Glej, tukaj stojim pri vodnem izviru in hčere mestnih mož prihajajo zajemat vodo.
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 Naj se mi zgodi, da gospodična, ki ji bom rekel: ›Spusti svoj lončen vrč, prosim te, da bom lahko pil‹ in bo rekla: ›Pij in tudi tvojim kamelam bom dala piti, ‹ naj bo ta tista, ki si jo določil za svojega služabnika Izaka in s tem bom vedel, da si mojemu gospodarju izkazal prijaznost.«
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 Pripetilo se je, preden je nehal govoriti, glej, da je prišla ven Rebeka, ki je bila rojena Betuélu, sinu Milke, žene Nahórja, Abrahamovega brata, s svojim lončenim vrčem na svoji rami.
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 Gospodična pa je bila zelo lepa na pogled, devica, niti je noben mož ni spoznal in odšla je dol k izviru in napolnila svoj lončen vrč ter prišla gor.
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 Služabnik je stekel, da jo sreča in reče: »Pusti mi, prosim te, popiti malo vode iz tvojega lončenega vrča.«
Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, "Please give me a little water to drink from your jug."
18 Rekla je: »Pij, moj gospod« in se podvizala ter spustila svoj lončen vrč na svojo roko ter mu dala piti.
So she said, "Drink, my lord." And she hurried and let down her jug to her hands, and gave him a drink.
19 In ko mu je dala piti, je rekla: »Tudi za tvoje kamele bom zajela vodo, dokler se ne napijejo.«
Now when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking."
20 Odhitela je in svoj lončen vrč izpraznila v korito in ponovno stekla k izviru, da zajame vodo in jo zajela za vse njegove kamele.
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 Človek, začuden ob njej, je ohranil svoj mir, da izve, ali je Gospod naredil njegovo potovanje uspešno ali ne.
And the man watched her in silence so as to know whether God had made his journey successful or not.
22 Pripetilo se je, ko so se kamele napojile, da je človek vzel zlat uhan, težak pol šekla in dve zapestnici za njeni roki, težki deset šeklov zlata
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 in rekel: »Čigava hči si? Povej mi, prosim te. Ali je za nas prostor v hiši tvojega očeta, da prenočimo?«
and said, "Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to lodge?"
24 Rekla mu je: » Sem hči Betuéla, Milkinega sina, ki ga je rodila Nahórju.«
Then she said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."
25 Poleg tega mu je rekla: »Imamo dovolj tako slame kakor krme in prostora za prenočitev.«
And she also said to him, "We have plenty of straw and fodder, and room to lodge."
26 Človek je sklonil svojo glavo ter oboževal Gospoda.
Then the man bowed his head and worshiped God,
27 Rekel je: »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Bog mojega gospodarja Abrahama, ki mojega gospodarja ni pustil brez svoje milosti in svoje resnice. Bil sem na poti in Gospod me je vodil v hišo bratov mojega gospodarja.«
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 Gospodična je stekla ter te stvari povedala tistim iz hiše svoje matere.
Then the young woman ran, and told her mother's household about these words.
29 Rebeka pa je imela brata in njegovo ime je bilo Labán. In Labán je stekel k človeku, k izviru.
Now Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban, and he ran out to the man at the spring.
30 Pripetilo se je, ko je zagledal uhan in zapestnici na roki svoje sestre in ko je slišal besede svoje sestre Rebeke, rekoč: »Tako mi je mož govoril, « da je prišel k človeku. In glej, stal je s kamelami pri izviru.
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 Rekel je: »Vstopi, ti blagoslovljen od Gospoda. Zakaj stojiš zunaj? Kajti pripravil sem hišo in prostor za kamele.«
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 Mož je vstopil v hišo, on pa je odpasal njegove kamele in jim dal slamo in krmo za kamele in vodo, da umije njegova stopala in stopala mož, ki so bili z njim.
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 Predenj je bila postavljena hrana, da bi jedel, toda rekel je: »Ne bom jedel, dokler ne povem svoje naloge.« On pa je rekel: »Spregovori.«
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 Rekel je: »Jaz sem Abrahamov služabnik.
So he said, "I am Abraham's servant.
35 In Gospod je silno blagoslovil mojega gospodarja in postal je velik in dal mu je trope, črede, srebro, zlato, sluge, dekle, kamele in osle.
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 Sara, žena mojega gospodarja, je mojemu gospodarju rodila sina, ko je bila stara. In njemu je dal vse, kar ima.
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 Moj gospodar me je zaprisegel, rekoč: ›Mojemu sinu ne boš vzel žene izmed kánaanskih hčera, v katerih deželi prebivam,
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 temveč boš šel k hiši mojega očeta in k mojemu sorodstvu in vzel ženo mojemu sinu.‹
but you must go to my father's house, and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son.'
39 Svojemu gospodarju sem rekel: ›Morda mi ženska ne bo hotela slediti.‹
And I said to my master, 'What if the woman will not follow me?'
40 Rekel mi je: › Gospod, pred katerim hodim, bo s teboj poslal svojega angela in osrečil tvojo pot in vzel boš ženo za mojega sina iz mojega sorodstva in iz hiše mojega očeta.
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 Potem boš prost pred to mojo prisego, ko prideš k mojemu sorodstvu. Če ti je ne bodo dali, potem si prost pred mojo prisego.‹
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 Danes sem prišel k izviru in rekel: ›O Gospod, Bog mojega gospodarja Abrahama, če sedaj osrečiš mojo pot, ki jo hodim.
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 Glej, stojim pri vodnem izviru in naj se zgodi, da ko pride naprej devica, da zajame vodo in ji rečem: ›Daj mi za piti, prosim te, malo vode iz svojega lončenega vrča‹
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 in mi reče: ›Pij in prav tako bom zajela za tvoje kamele, ‹ naj bo ta ista ženska, ki jo je Gospod določil za sina mojega gospodarja.
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 In preden sem v svojem srcu prenehal govoriti, glej, je prišla Rebeka s svojim lončenim vrčem na svoji rami. Odšla je dol do izvira in zajela vodo. Rekel sem ji: ›Daj mi piti, prosim te.‹
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 Podvizala se je in spustila svoj lončen vrč iz svoje rame ter rekla: ›Pij in tudi tvojim kamelam bom dala piti.‹ Tako sem pil in tudi kamele je napojila.‹
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 Vprašal sem jo ter rekel: ›Čigava hči si?‹ Rekla je: ›Hči Betuéla, Nahórjevega sina, ki mu ga je rodila Milka.‹ In položil sem uhan na njen obraz in zapestnici na njeni roki.
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 Sklonil sem svojo glavo in oboževal Gospoda in blagoslovil Gospoda, Boga svojega gospodarja Abrahama, ki me je vodil po pravi poti, da vzame svojemu sinu hčer gospodarjevega brata.
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 In sedaj, če hočete prijazno in iskreno postopati z mojim gospodarjem, mi povejte. Če ne, mi povejte, da se lahko obrnem na desno roko ali na levo.«
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 Potem sta Labán in Betuél odgovorila ter rekla: »Stvar izvira od Gospoda. Ne moreva ti govoriti dobro ali slabo.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered, "The matter comes from God. We can't speak to you bad or good.
51 Glej, Rebeka je pred teboj, vzemi jo in pojdi in naj bo žena sinu tvojega gospodarja, kakor je govoril Gospod.«
Look, Rebekah is before you. Take, and go, and let her become the wife of your master's son, as God has spoken."
52 Pripetilo se je, da ko je Abrahamov služabnik slišal te besede, je oboževal Gospoda, priklanjajoč se k zemlji.
And it happened when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed himself down to the ground.
53 Služabnik je prinesel naprej dragocenosti iz srebra in dragocenosti iz zlata in oblačilo in jih dal Rebeki. Tudi njenemu bratu in njeni materi je dal dragocene stvari.
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 Jedli so in pili, on in ljudje, ki so bili z njim in ostali vso noč. Vstali pa so zjutraj in rekel je: »Pošljite me proč, k mojemu gospodarju.«
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 Njen brat in njena mati pa sta rekla: »Naj gospodična ostane z nami nekaj dni, vsaj deset, potem bo šla.«
But her brother and her mother said, "Let the young woman stay with us ten days or so. After that she may go."
56 Rekel jim je: »Ne preprečujte mi, glede na to, da je Gospod osrečil mojo pot. Pošljite me proč, da lahko grem k svojemu gospodarju.«
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 Rekla sta: »Poklicala bova gospodično in poizvemo pri njenih ustih.«
Then they said, "We will call the young woman and ask her."
58 In poklicala sta Rebeko ter ji rekla: »Hočeš iti s tem človekom?« In rekla je: »Šla bom.«
So they called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" And she replied, "I will go."
59 In odpustili so svojo sestro Rebeko in njeno dojiljo in Abrahamovega služabnika in njegove ljudi.
So they sent away their sister Rebekah, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
60 In blagoslovili so Rebeko ter ji rekli: »Ti si naša sestra, bodi mati tisočev milijonov in naj tvoje seme obvladuje velika vrata tistih, ki jih sovražijo.«
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 Rebeka je vstala in njene gospodične in zajahale so kamele ter sledile človeku. In služabnik je vzel Rebeko ter odšel svojo pot.
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 Izak je prišel po poti izvira Laháj Roí, kajti prebival je v južni deželi.
Now Isaac had come from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the land of the Negev.
63 Izak je odšel ven, da ob večeru premišljuje na polju in je povzdignil svoje oči in videl in glej, prihajale so kamele.
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 Rebeka je povzdignila svoje oči in ko je zagledala Izaka, se je spustila s kamele.
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel.
65 Kajti služabniku je rekla: »Kdo je ta človek, ki hodi po polju, da nas sreča?« Služabnik je rekel: »To je moj gospodar.« Zato je vzela zagrinjalo in se pokrila.
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 Služabnik je povedal Izaku vse stvari, ki jih je storil.
And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
67 Izak jo je privedel v šotor svoje matere Sare in vzel Rebeko in postala je njegova žena in jo je ljubil in Izak je bil potolažen po smrti svoje matere.
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.
