< Postanak 17 >

1 Kad je Abramu bilo devedeset i devet godina, ukaza mu se Jahve pa mu reče: “Ja sam El Šadaj - Bog Svesilni, Mojim hodi putem i neporočan budi.
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, YHWH appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Walk before me, and be blameless.
2 A Savez svoj ja sklapam s tobom i silno ću te razmnožiti.”
I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you greatly."
3 Abram pade ničice dok mu Bog govoraše dalje:
Then Abram fell facedown, and God talked with him, saying,
4 “A ovo je Savez moj s tobom: postat ćeš ocem mnogim narodima;
"As for me, look, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.
5 i nećeš se više zvati Abram - već Abraham će ti ime biti, jer naroda mnogih ocem ja te postavljam.
Neither will your name any more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I will make you the father of a multitude of nations.
6 Silno ću te rodnim učiniti; narode ću iz tebe izvesti; i kraljevi će od tebe izaći.
I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.
7 Savez svoj sklapam između sebe i tebe i tvoga potomstva poslije tebe - Savez svoj za vjekove: ja ću biti Bogom tvojim i tvoga potomstva poslije tebe.
I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.
8 Tebi i tvome potomstvu poslije tebe dajem zemlju u kojoj boraviš kao pridošlica - svu zemlju kanaansku - u vjekovni posjed; a ja ću biti njihov Bog.”
I will give to you, and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God."
9 Još reče Bog Abrahamu: “A ti Savez čuvaj moj - ti i tvoje potomstvo poslije tebe u sve vijeke.
God said to Abraham, "As for you, you are to keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.
10 A ovo je Savez moj s tobom i tvojim potomstvom poslije tebe koji ćeš vršiti: svako muško među vama neka bude obrezano.
This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 Obrezujte se, i to neka bude znak Saveza između mene i vas.
You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
12 Svako muško među vama, kroz vaša pokoljenja, kad mu se navrši osam dana, neka bude obrezano; i rob, rođen u vašem domu, i onaj što bude kupljen od stranca, koji ne bude od vaše krvi.
He who is eight days old will be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your descendants.
13 Da, i rob rođen u tvome domu ili za novac kupljen mora se obrezati! Tako će moj Savez na vašem tijelu ostati vječnim Savezom.
He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14 Muško koje se ne bi obrezalo neka se odstrani od svoga roda: takav je prekršio moj Savez.”
And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that person shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant."
15 Još reče Bog Abrahamu: “Tvojoj ženi Saraji nije više ime Saraja: Sara će joj ime biti.
God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah.
16 Nju ću ja blagosloviti i od nje ti dati sina; blagoslov ću na nju izliti te će se narodi od nje razviti; kraljevi će narodima od nje poteći.”
And I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. And I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her."
17 Abraham pade ničice pa se nasmija i reče u sebi: “Onome komu je stotinu godina, zar se može roditi dijete? Zar će Sara u devedesetoj rod rađati!”
Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, "Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?"
18 Abraham reče Bogu: “Neka tvojom milošću Jišmael poživi!”
Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before you."
19 A Bog reče: “Ipak će ti tvoja žena Sara roditi sina; nadjeni mu ime Izak. Savez svoj s njime ću sklopiti, Savez vječni s njime i s njegovim potomstvom poslije njega.
And God said, "Truly, Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you are to name him Isaac. And I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant and with his descendants after him.
20 I za Jišmaela uslišah te. Evo ga blagoslivljam: rodnim ću ga učiniti i silno ga razmnožiti; dvanaest će knezova od njega postati i u velik će narod izrasti.
As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Look, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
21 Ali ću držati svoj Savez s Izakom, koga će ti roditi Sara dogodine u ovo doba.”
But my covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year."
22 Kad je završio razgovor s njim, od Abrahama Bog se podiže.
When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
23 Uzme zatim Abraham svoga sina Jišmaela i sve robove koji su bili rođeni u njegovu domu i sve koje je kupio novcem - sve muške ukućane - pa ih toga istog dana obreže, kako mu je Bog rekao.
Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money; every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.
24 Abrahamu bijaše devedeset i devet godina kad se obrezao,
Abraham was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25 a njegovu sinu Jišmaelu bijaše trinaest godina kad ga obreza.
Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
26 Tako su toga istog dana bili obrezani Abraham i njegov sin Jišmael;
In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.
27 i svi muškarci njegova doma, rođeni u njegovoj kući ili za novac kupljeni od stranca - svi s njim bijahu obrezani.
All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
