Genesis 24
1 And Abraam was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraam in all things.
Abraham je bil star in že zelo zvrhan v starosti in Gospod je Abrahama blagoslovil v vseh stvareh.
2 And Abraam said to his servant the elder of his house, who had rule over all his possessions, Put your hand under my thigh,
Abraham je najstarejšemu služabniku svoje hiše, ki je vladal nad vsem, kar je imel, rekel: »Položi, prosim te, svojo roko pod moje stegno,
3 and I will adjure you by the Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that you take not a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Chananites, with whom I dwell, in the midst of them.
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,
4 But you shall go instead to my country, where I was born, and to my tribe, and you shall take from thence a wife for my son Isaac.
temveč boš šel v mojo deželo in k mojemu sorodstvu in vzel ženo mojemu sinu Izaku.«
5 And the servant said to him, Shall I carry back your son to the land whence you came forth, if haply the woman should not be willing to return with me to this land?
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?«
6 And Abraam said to him, Take heed to yourself that you carry not my son back there.
Abraham mu je rekel: »Pazi, da mojega sina ne privedeš ponovno tja.
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 you and to your seed, he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife to my son from thence.
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.
8 And if the woman should not be willing to come with you into this land, you shall be clear from my oath, only carry not my son there again.
Če pa ti ženska ne bo voljna slediti, potem boš prost pred to mojo prisego, samo mojega sina ne privedi ponovno tja.«
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraam, and swore to him concerning this matter.
Služabnik je svojo roko položil pod stegno Abrahama, svojega gospodarja in mu glede te zadeve prisegel.
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.
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.
11 And he rested his camels without the city by the well of water towards evening, when damsels go forth to draw water.
Svojim kamelam je storil, da so pokleknile zunaj mesta, pri vodnem izviru, ob večernem času, v času, ko gredo ženske ven zajemat vodo.
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.
Rekel je: »Oh Gospod, Bog mojega gospodarja Abrahama, prosim te, pošlji mi danes veliko sreče in mojemu gospodarju Abrahamu izkaži prijaznost.
13 Behold! I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of them that inhabit the city come forth to draw water.
Glej, tukaj stojim pri vodnem izviru in hčere mestnih mož prihajajo zajemat vodo.
14 And it shall be, the virgin to whoever I shall say, Incline your water-pot, that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink you, and I will give your camels drink, until they shall have done drinking—even this one you have prepared for your servant Isaac, and hereby shall I know that you have dealt mercifully with my master Abraam.
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.«
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.
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.
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.
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.
17 And the servant ran up to meet her, and said, Give me a little water to drink out of your pitcher;
Služabnik je stekel, da jo sreča in reče: »Pusti mi, prosim te, popiti malo vode iz tvojega lončenega vrča.«
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.
Rekla je: »Pij, moj gospod« in se podvizala ter spustila svoj lončen vrč na svojo roko ter mu dala piti.
19 And she said, I will also draw water for your camels, till they shall all have drunk.
In ko mu je dala piti, je rekla: »Tudi za tvoje kamele bom zajela vodo, dokler se ne napijejo.«
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.
Odhitela je in svoj lončen vrč izpraznila v korito in ponovno stekla k izviru, da zajame vodo in jo zajela za vse njegove kamele.
21 And the man took great notice of her, and remained silent to know whether the Lord had made his way prosperous or not.
Človek, začuden ob njej, je ohranil svoj mir, da izve, ali je Gospod naredil njegovo potovanje uspešno ali ne.
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.
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
23 And he asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? Tell me if there is room for us to lodge with your father.
in rekel: »Čigava hči si? Povej mi, prosim te. Ali je za nas prostor v hiši tvojega očeta, da prenočimo?«
24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bathuel the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
Rekla mu je: » Sem hči Betuéla, Milkinega sina, ki ga je rodila Nahórju.«
25 And she said to him, We have both straw and much provender, and a place for resting.
Poleg tega mu je rekla: »Imamo dovolj tako slame kakor krme in prostora za prenočitev.«
26 And the man being well pleased, worshipped the Lord,
Človek je sklonil svojo glavo ter oboževal Gospoda.
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.
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.«
28 And the damsel ran and reported to the house of her mother according to these words.
Gospodična je stekla ter te stvari povedala tistim iz hiše svoje matere.
29 And Rebecca had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to meet the man, to the well.
Rebeka pa je imela brata in njegovo ime je bilo Labán. In Labán je stekel k človeku, k izviru.
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.
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.
31 And he said to him, Come in hither, you blessed of the Lord, why stand you without, whereas I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?
Rekel je: »Vstopi, ti blagoslovljen od Gospoda. Zakaj stojiš zunaj? Kajti pripravil sem hišo in prostor za kamele.«
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.
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.
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.
Predenj je bila postavljena hrana, da bi jedel, toda rekel je: »Ne bom jedel, dokler ne povem svoje naloge.« On pa je rekel: »Spregovori.«
34 And he said, I am a servant of Abraam;
Rekel je: »Jaz sem Abrahamov služabnik.
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.
In Gospod je silno blagoslovil mojega gospodarja in postal je velik in dal mu je trope, črede, srebro, zlato, sluge, dekle, kamele in osle.
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.
Sara, žena mojega gospodarja, je mojemu gospodarju rodila sina, ko je bila stara. In njemu je dal vse, kar ima.
37 And my master caused me to swear, saying, You shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Chananites, amongst whom I sojourn in their land.
Moj gospodar me je zaprisegel, rekoč: ›Mojemu sinu ne boš vzel žene izmed kánaanskih hčera, v katerih deželi prebivam,
38 But you shall go to the house of my father, and to my tribe, and you shall take thence a wife for my son.
temveč boš šel k hiši mojega očeta in k mojemu sorodstvu in vzel ženo mojemu sinu.‹
39 And I said to my master, Haply the woman will not go with me.
Svojemu gospodarju sem rekel: ›Morda mi ženska ne bo hotela slediti.‹
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 you, and shall prosper your journey, and you shall take a wife for my son of my tribe, and of the house of my father.
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.
41 Then shall you be clear from my curse, for whenever you shall have come to my tribe, and they shall not give her to you, then shall you be clear from my oath.
Potem boš prost pred to mojo prisego, ko prideš k mojemu sorodstvu. Če ti je ne bodo dali, potem si prost pred mojo prisego.‹
42 And having come this day to the well, I said, Lord God of my master Abraam, if you prosper my journey on which I am now going,
Danes sem prišel k izviru in rekel: ›O Gospod, Bog mojega gospodarja Abrahama, če sedaj osrečiš mojo pot, ki jo hodim.
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 your pitcher,
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‹
44 and she shall say to me, Both drink you, and I will draw water for your camels, this [shall be] the wife whom the Lord has prepared for his own servant Isaac; and hereby shall I know that you have wrought mercy with my master Abraam.
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.
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.
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.‹
46 And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her arm from her head, and said, Drink you, and I will give your camels drink; and I drank, and she gave the camels drink.
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.‹
47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? 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.
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.
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.
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.
49 If then you [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.
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.«
50 And Laban and Bathuel answered and said, This matter has come forth from the Lord, we shall not be able to answer you bad or good.
Potem sta Labán in Betuél odgovorila ter rekla: »Stvar izvira od Gospoda. Ne moreva ti govoriti dobro ali slabo.
51 Behold, Rebecca is before you, take her and go away, and let her be wife to the son of your master, as the Lord has said.
Glej, Rebeka je pred teboj, vzemi jo in pojdi in naj bo žena sinu tvojega gospodarja, kakor je govoril Gospod.«
52 And it came to pass when the servant of Abraam heard these words, he bowed himself to the Lord down to the earth.
Pripetilo se je, da ko je Abrahamov služabnik slišal te besede, je oboževal Gospoda, priklanjajoč se k zemlji.
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.
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.
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.
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.«
55 And her brethren and her mother said, Let the virgin remain with us about ten days, and after that she shall depart.
Njen brat in njena mati pa sta rekla: »Naj gospodična ostane z nami nekaj dni, vsaj deset, potem bo šla.«
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.
Rekel jim je: »Ne preprečujte mi, glede na to, da je Gospod osrečil mojo pot. Pošljite me proč, da lahko grem k svojemu gospodarju.«
57 And they said, Let us call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
Rekla sta: »Poklicala bova gospodično in poizvemo pri njenih ustih.«
58 And they called Rebecca, and said to her, Will you go with this man? and she said, I will go.
In poklicala sta Rebeko ter ji rekla: »Hočeš iti s tem človekom?« In rekla je: »Šla bom.«
59 So they sent forth Rebecca their sister, and her goods, and the servant of Abraam, and his attendants.
In odpustili so svojo sestro Rebeko in njeno dojiljo in Abrahamovega služabnika in njegove ljudi.
60 And they blessed Rebecca, and said to her, You are our sister; become you thousands of myriads, and let your seed possess the cities of their enemies.
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.«
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.
Rebeka je vstala in njene gospodične in zajahale so kamele ter sledile človeku. In služabnik je vzel Rebeko ter odšel svojo pot.
62 And Isaac went through the wilderness to the well of the vision, and he lived in the land towards the south.
Izak je prišel po poti izvira Laháj Roí, kajti prebival je v južni deželi.
63 And Isaac went forth into the plain towards evening to meditate; and having lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming.
Izak je odšel ven, da ob večeru premišljuje na polju in je povzdignil svoje oči in videl in glej, prihajale so kamele.
64 And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac; and she alighted briskly from the camel,
Rebeka je povzdignila svoje oči in ko je zagledala Izaka, se je spustila s kamele.
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.
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.
66 And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
Služabnik je povedal Izaku vse stvari, ki jih je storil.
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.
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.
