Genesis 18
1 And God appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the entrance to the tent in the heat of the day.
Poslije mu se javi Gospod u ravnici Mamrijskoj kad sjeðaše na vratima pred šatorom svojim u podne.
2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood opposite him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the entrance of the tent, and bowed himself to the earth,
Podigavši oèi svoje pogleda, i gle, tri èovjeka stajahu prema njemu. I ugledavši ih potrèa im na susret ispred vrata šatora svojega, i pokloni se do zemlje;
3 and said, "My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please do not go on past your servant.
I reèe: Gospode, ako sam našao milost pred tobom, nemoj proæi sluge svojega.
4 Now let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Da vam donesemo malo vode i operite noge, te se naslonite malo pod ovijem drvetom.
5 I will get a bit of food so you may refresh yourselves. After that you may go your way, now that you have come to your servant." They said, "Very well, do as you have said."
I iznijeæu malo hljeba, te potkrijepite srce svoje, pa onda poðite, kad idete pored sluge svojega. I rekoše: uèini što si kazao.
6 Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Quickly, get three measures of fine flour, knead it, and make bread."
I Avram otrèa u šator k Sari, i reèe: brže zamijesi tri kopanje bijeloga brašna i ispeci pogaèe.
7 Abraham ran to the herd, and took a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant, and he hurried to prepare it.
Pa otrèa ka govedima i uhvati tele mlado i dobro, i dade ga momku da ga brže zgotovi.
8 He took curds, milk, and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
Pa onda iznese masla i mlijeka i tele koje bješe zgotovio, i postavi im, a sam stajaše pred njima pod drvetom dokle jeðahu.
9 They said to him, "Where is Sarah, your wife? He said, "See, in the tent."
I oni mu rekoše: gdje je Sara žena tvoja? A on reèe: eno je pod šatorom.
10 Then he said, "I will certainly return to you at the time of life. Look, Sarah your wife will have a son." Sarah heard from the entrance of the tent, which was behind him.
A jedan izmeðu njih reèe: do godine u ovo doba opet æu doæi k tebi, a Sara æe žena tvoja imati sina. A Sara slušaše na vratima od šatora iza njega.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah was past the age of childbearing.
A Avram i Sara bijahu stari i vremeniti, i u Sare bješe prestalo što biva u žena.
12 Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my husband being old also?"
Zato se nasmija Sara u sebi govoreæi: pošto sam ostarjela, sad li æe mi doæi radost? a i gospodar mi je star.
13 And God said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Will I really bear a child when I am old?'
Tada reèe Gospod Avramu: što se smije Sara govoreæi: istina li je da æu roditi kad sam ostarjela?
14 Is anything too difficult for God? At the set time I will return to you, at the time of life, and Sarah will have a son."
Ima li što teško Gospodu? Do godine u ovo doba opet æu doæi k tebi, a Sara æe imati sina.
15 But Sarah denied it, saying, "I did not laugh," for she was afraid. He said, "No, but you did laugh."
A Sara udari u bah govoreæi: nijesam se smijala. Jer se uplaši. Ali on reèe: nije istina, nego si se smijala.
16 The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
Potom ustaše ljudi odande, i poðoše put Sodoma; i Avram poðe s njima da ih isprati.
17 And God said, "Will I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,
A Gospod reèe: kako bih tajio od Avrama šta æu uèiniti,
18 seeing that Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him?
Kad æe od Avrama postati velik i silan narod, i u njemu æe se blagosloviti svi narodi na zemlji?
19 For I have made myself known to him, so that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of YHWH, to do righteousness and justice, so that God may bring to Abraham that which he has spoken to him."
Jer znam da æe zapovjediti sinovima svojima i domu svojemu nakon sebe da se drže putova Gospodnjih i da èine što je pravo i dobro, da bi Gospod navršio na Avramu što mu je obeæao.
20 And YHWH said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is so grievous,
I reèe Gospod: vika je u Sodomu i Gomoru velika, i grijeh je njihov grdan.
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done entirely according to the outcry which has come to me. And if not, I will know."
Zato æu siæi da vidim eda li sve èine kao što vika doðe preda me; ako li nije tako, da znam.
22 The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before YHWH.
I ljudi okrenuvši se poðoše put Sodoma; ali Avram još stajaše pred Gospodom,
23 Abraham drew near, and said, "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
I pristupiv Avram reèe: hoæeš li pogubiti i pravednoga s nepravednim?
24 What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you sweep it away and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?
Može biti da ima pedeset pravednika u gradu; hoæeš li i njih pogubiti, i neæeš oprostiti mjestu za onijeh pedeset pravednika što su u njemu?
25 Be it far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn't the Judge of all the earth do right?"
Nemoj to èiniti, ni gubiti pravednika s nepravednikom, da bude pravedniku kao i nepravedniku; nemoj; eda li sudija cijele zemlje neæe suditi pravo?
26 YHWH said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake."
I reèe Gospod: ako naðem u Sodomu pedeset pravednika u gradu, oprostiæu cijelom mjestu njih radi.
27 Abraham answered, "Look, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes.
A Avram odgovori i reèe: gle, sada bih progovorio Gospodu, ako i jesam prah i pepeo.
28 What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?" He said, "I will not destroy it, if I find forty-five there."
Može biti pravednika pedeset manje pet, hoæeš li za ovijeh pet zatrti sav grad? Odgovori: neæu, ako naðem èetrdeset i pet.
29 He spoke to him yet again, and said, "What if there are forty found there?" He said, "I will not do it for the forty's sake."
I stade dalje govoriti, i reèe: može biti da æe se naæi èetrdeset. Reèe: neæu radi onijeh èetrdeset.
30 He said, "Oh do not let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?" He said, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there."
Potom reèe: nemoj se gnjeviti, Gospode, što æu reæi; može biti da æe se naæi trideset. I reèe: neæu, ako naðem trideset.
31 He said, "Look, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake."
Opet reèe: gle, sada bih progovorio Gospodu; može biti da æe se naæi dvadeset. Reèe: neæu ih pogubiti za onijeh dvadeset.
32 He said, "Oh do not let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the ten's sake."
Najposlije reèe: nemoj se gnjeviti, Gospode, što æu još jednom progovoriti; može biti da æe se naæi deset. Reèe: neæu ih pogubiti radi onijeh deset.
33 When he finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned to his place.
I Gospod otide svršivši razgovor s Avramom; a Avram se vrati na svoje mjesto.
