Genesis 24
1 And Abraam was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraam in all things.
А Аврам беше стар и временит, и Господ беше благословио Аврама у свему;
2 And Abraam said to his servant the elder of his house, who had rule over all his possessions, Put thy hand under my thigh,
И рече Аврам слузи свом најстаријем у кући својој, који беше над свим добром његовим: Метни руку своју под стегно моје,
3 and I will adjure thee by the Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou take not a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Chananites, with whom I dwell, in the midst of them.
Да те закунем Господом Богом небеским и Богом земаљским да нећеш довести жене сину мом између кћери ових Хананеја, међу којима живим;
4 But thou shalt go instead to my country, where I was born, and to my tribe, and thou shalt take from thence a wife for my son Isaac.
Него да ћеш отићи у земљу моју и у род мој и довести жену сину мом Исаку.
5 And the servant said to him, Shall I carry back thy son to the land whence thou camest forth, if haply the woman should not be willing to return with me to this land?
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?
6 And Abraam said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou carry not my son back thither.
А Аврам му рече: Пази да не одведеш сина мог онамо.
7 The Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land whence I sprang, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, I will give this land to thee and to thy seed, he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife to my son from thence.
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.
8 And if the woman should not be willing to come with thee into this land, thou shalt be clear from my oath, only carry not my son thither again.
Ако ли девојка не хтедбуде поћи с тобом, онда да ти је проста заклетва моја; само сина мог немој одвести онамо.
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraam, and swore to him concerning this matter.
И метну слуга руку своју под стегно Авраму господару свом, и закле му се за ово.
10 And the servant took ten camels of his master's camels, and [he took] of all the goods of his master with him, and he arose and went into Mesopotamia to the city of Nachor.
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.
11 And he rested his camels without the city by the well of water towards evening, when damsels go forth to draw water.
И пусти камиле да полежу иза града код студенца пред вече кад излазе грађанке да захватају воде;
12 And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraam, prosper my way before me to day, and deal mercifully with my master Abraam.
И рече: Господе Боже господара мог Аврама, дај ми срећу данас и учини милост господару мом Авраму.
13 Lo! I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of them that inhabit the city come forth to draw water.
Ево, ја ћу стајати код овог студенца, а грађанке ће доћи да захватају воде.
14 And it shall be, the virgin to whomsoever I shall say, Incline thy water-pot, that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink thou, and I will give thy camels drink, until they shall have done drinking—even this one thou hast prepared for thy servant Isaac, and hereby shall I know that thou hast dealt mercifully with my master Abraam.
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.
15 And it came to pass before he had done speaking in his mind, that behold, Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, the wife of Nachor, and [the same] the brother of Abraam, came forth, having a water-pot on her shoulders.
И он још не изговори, а то Ревека, кћи Ватуила сина Мелхе жене Нахора брата Аврамовог, дође с крчагом на рамену.
16 And the virgin was very beautiful in appearance, she was a virgin, a man had not known her; and she went down to the well, and filled her water-pot, and came up.
И беше врло лепа, још девојка, још је човек не беше познао. Она сиђе на извор, и наточи крчаг, и пође;
17 And the servant ran up to meet her, and said, Give me a little water to drink out of thy pitcher;
А слуга искочи пред њу, и рече; дај ми да се напијем мало воде из крчага твог.
18 and she said, Drink, Sir; and she hasted, and let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him to drink, till he ceased drinking.
А она рече: На пиј, господару. И брже спусти крчаг на руку своју, и напоји га.
19 And she said, I will also draw water for thy camels, till they shall all have drunk.
И кад га напоји, рече: и камилама ћу твојим налити нека се напију.
20 And she hasted, and emptied the water-pot into the trough, and ran to the well to draw again, and drew water for all the camels.
И брже изручи крчаг свој у појило, па опет отрча на студенац да налије, и нали свим камилама његовим.
21 And the man took great notice of her, and remained silent to know whether the Lord had made his way prosperous or not.
А човек јој се дивљаше, и ћуташе, неће ли познати је ли Господ дао срећу путу његовом или није.
22 And it came to pass when all the camels ceased drinking, that the man took golden ear-rings, each of a drachm weight, and he [put] two bracelets on her hands, their weight was ten pieces of gold.
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.
23 And he asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? Tell me if there is room for us to lodge with thy father.
И рече: Чија си кћи? Кажи ми. Има ли у кући оца твог места за нас да преноћимо?
24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bathuel the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
А она му рече: Ја сам кћи Ватуила сина Мелшиног, кога роди Нахору.
25 And she said to him, We have both straw and much provender, and a place for resting.
Још рече: Има у нас много сламе и пиће и места за ноћиште.
26 And the man being well pleased, worshipped the Lord,
Тада човек савивши се поклони се Господу,
27 and said, Blessed be the Lord the God of my master Abraam, who has not suffered his righteousness to fail, nor his truth from my master, and the Lord has brought me prosperously to the house of the brother of my lord.
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.
28 And the damsel ran and reported to the house of her mother according to these words.
А девојка отрча и све ово каза у дому матере своје.
29 And Rebecca had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to meet the man, to the well.
А Ревека имаше брата, коме име беше Лаван; и истрча Лаван к човеку на студенац,
30 And it came to pass when he saw the ear-rings and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heard the words of Rebecca his sister, saying, Thus the man spoke to me, that he went to the man, as he stood by the camels at the well.
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.
31 And he said to him, Come in hither, thou blessed of the Lord, why standest thou without, whereas I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?
И рече: Ходи, који си благословен од Господа; што би стајао напољу? Спремио сам кућу, има места и за камиле.
32 And the man entered into the house, and unloaded the camels, and gave the camels straw and provender, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were with him.
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;
33 And he set before them loaves to eat; but he said, I will not eat, until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.
И поставише му да једе; али он рече: Нећу јести докле не кажем ствар своју. А Лаван му рече: Говори.
34 And he said, I am a servant of Abraam;
Тада рече: Ја сам слуга Аврамов.
35 and the Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he is exalted, and he has given him sheep, and calves, and silver, and gold, servants and servant-maids, camels, and asses.
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.
36 And Sarrha my master's wife bore one son to my master after he had grown old; and he gave him whatever he had.
И још Сара жена господара мог роди сина господару мом у старости његовој, и он му даде све што има.
37 And my master caused me to swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Chananites, among whom I sojourn in their land.
А мене закле господар мој говорећи: Немој довести сину мом жене између кћери ових Хананеја, међу којима живим;
38 But thou shalt go to the house of my father, and to my tribe, and thou shalt take thence a wife for my son.
Него иди у дом оца мог и у род мој, да доведеш жену сину мом.
39 And I said to my master, Haply the woman will not go with me.
А ја рекох господару свом:
40 And he said to me, The Lord God to whom I have been acceptable in his presence, himself shall send out his angel with thee, and shall prosper thy journey, and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my tribe, and of the house of my father.
Може бити да девојка неће хтети поћи са мном.
41 Then shalt thou be clear from my curse, for whensoever thou shalt have come to my tribe, and they shall not give her to thee, then shalt thou be clear from my oath.
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.
42 And having come this day to the well, I said, Lord God of my master Abraam, if thou prosperest my journey on which I am now going,
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.
43 behold, I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come forth to draw water, and it shall be [that] the damsel to whom I shall say, Give me a little water to drink out of thy pitcher,
И кад дођох данас на студенац, рекох: Господе Боже господара мог Аврама, ако си дао срећу путу мом, којим идем,
44 and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will draw water for thy camels, this [shall be] the wife whom the Lord has prepared for his own servant Isaac; and hereby shall I know that thou hast wrought mercy with my master Abraam.
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,
45 And it came to pass before I had done speaking in my mind, straightway Rebecca came forth, having her pitcher on her shoulders; and she went down to the well, and drew water; and I said to her, Give me to drink.
А она ми одговори: и ти пиј и камилама ћу твојим налити; то нека буде жена коју је наменио Господ сину господара мог.
46 And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her arm from her head, and said, Drink thou, and I will give thy camels drink; and I drank, and she gave the camels drink.
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.
47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me; and she said, I am daughter of Bathuel the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him; and I put on her the ear-rings, and the bracelets on her hands.
А она брже спустивши са себе крчаг рече: На пиј, и камиле ћу ти напојити. И кад се напих, напоји и камиле моје.
48 And being well-pleased I worshipped the Lord, and I blessed the Lord the God of my master Abraam, who has prospered me in a true way, so that I should take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.
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;
49 If then ye [will] deal mercifully and justly with my lord, [tell me], and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.
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.
50 And Laban and Bathuel answered and said, This matter has come forth from the Lord, we shall not be able to answer thee bad or good.
Ако ћете дакле учинити љубав и веру господару мом, кажите ми; ако ли нећете, кажите ми, да идем на десно или на лево.
51 Behold, Rebecca is before thee, take her and go away, and let her be wife to the son of thy master, as the Lord has said.
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.
52 And it came to pass when the servant of Abraam heard these words, he bowed himself to the Lord down to the earth.
А кад чу слуга Аврамов речи њихове, поклони се Господу до земље;
53 And the servant having brought forth jewels of silver and gold and raiment, gave them to Rebecca, and gave gifts to her brother, and to her mother.
И извади закладе сребрне и златне и хаљине, и даде Ревеци; такође и брату њеном и матери њеној даде дарове.
54 And both he and the men with him ate and drank and went to sleep. And he arose in the morning and said, Send me away, that I may go to my master.
Потом једоше и пише он и људи који беху с њим, и преноћише. А кад ујутру усташе, рече слуга: Пустите ме господару мом.
55 And her brethren and her mother said, Let the virgin remain with us about ten days, and after that she shall depart.
А брат и мати њена рекоше: Нека остане девојка код нас који дан, барем десет дана, па онда нека иде.
56 But he said to them, Hinder me not, for the Lord has prospered my journey for me; send me away, that I may depart to my master.
А он им рече: Немојте ме задржавати, кад је Господ дао срећу мом путу; пустите ме да идем господару свом.
57 And they said, Let us call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
Тада рекоше: Да зовемо девојку, и упитамо шта она вели.
58 And they called Rebecca, and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? and she said, I will go.
И дозваше Ревеку и рекоше јој: Хоћеш ићи с овим човеком? А она одговори: Хоћу.
59 So they sent forth Rebecca their sister, and her goods, and the servant of Abraam, and his attendants.
И пустише Ревеку сестру своју и дојкињу њену са слугом Аврамовим и људима његовим.
60 And they blessed Rebecca, and said to her, Thou art our sister; become thou thousands of myriads, and let thy seed possess the cities of their enemies.
И благословише Ревеку и рекоше јој: Сестро наша, да се намножиш на хиљаде хиљада, и семе твоје да наследи врата својих непријатеља!
61 And Rebecca rose up and her maidens, and they mounted the camels and went with the man; and the servant having taken up Rebecca, departed.
И подиже се Ревека с девојкама својим, и поседаше на камиле, и пођоше с човеком; и слуга узевши Ревеку отиде.
62 And Isaac went through the wilderness to the well of the vision, and he dwelt in the land toward the south.
А Исак иђаше враћајући се од студенца Живога који ме виде јер живљаше у јужном крају;
63 And Isaac went forth into the plain toward evening to meditate; and having lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming.
А беше изашао Исак у поље пред вече да се помоли Богу; и подигавши очи своје угледа камиле где иду.
64 And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac; and she alighted briskly from the camel,
И Ревека подигавши очи своје угледа Исака, те скочи с камиле,
65 and said to the servant, Who is that man that walks in the plain to meet us? And the servant said, This is my master; and she took her veil and covered herself.
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.
66 And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
И приповеди слуга Исаку све што је свршио.
67 And Isaac went into the house of his mother, and took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted for Sarrha his mother.
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.
