Postanak 24
1 A Avram bješe star i vremenit, i Gospod bješe blagoslovio Avrama u svemu;
And Abraham [is] old, he hath entered into days, and Jehovah hath blessed Abraham in all [things];
2 I reèe Avram sluzi svojemu najstarijemu u kuæi svojoj, koji bješe nad svijem dobrom njegovijem: metni ruku svoju pod stegno moje,
and Abraham saith unto his servant, the eldest of his house, who is ruling over all that he hath, 'Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh,
3 Da te zakunem Gospodom Bogom nebeskim i Bogom zemaljskim da neæeš dovesti žene sinu mojemu izmeðu kæeri ovijeh Hananeja, meðu kojima živim;
and I cause thee to swear by Jehovah, God of the heavens, and God of the earth, that thou dost not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in the midst of whom I am dwelling;
4 Nego da æeš otiæi u zemlju moju i u rod moj i dovesti ženu sinu mojemu Isaku.
but unto my land and unto my kindred dost thou go, and hast taken a wife for my son, for Isaac.'
5 A sluga mu reèe: i ako djevojka ne htjedbude poæi sa mnom u ovu zemlju; hoæu li odvesti sina tvojega u zemlju iz koje si se iselio?
And the servant saith unto him, 'It may be the woman is not willing to come after me unto this land; do I at all cause thy son to turn back unto the land from whence thou camest out?'
6 A Avram mu reèe: pazi da ne odvedeš sina mojega onamo.
And Abraham saith unto him, 'Take heed to thyself, lest thou cause my son to turn back thither;
7 Gospod Bog nebeski, koji me je uzeo iz doma oca mojega i iz zemlje roda mojega, i koji mi je rekao i zakleo mi se govoreæi: sjemenu æu tvojemu dati zemlju ovu, on æe poslati anðela svojega pred tobom da dovedeš ženu sinu mojemu odande.
Jehovah, God of the heavens, who hath taken me from the house of my father, and from the land of my birth, and who hath spoken to me, and who hath sworn to me, saying, To thy seed I give this land, He doth send His messenger before thee, and thou hast taken a wife for my son from thence;
8 Ako li djevojka ne htjedbude poæi s tobom, onda da ti je prosta zakletva moja; samo sina mojega nemoj odvesti onamo.
and if the woman be not willing to come after thee, then thou hast been acquitted from this mine oath: only my son thou dost not cause to turn back thither.'
9 I metnu sluga ruku svoju pod stegno Avramu gospodaru svojemu, i zakle mu se za ovo.
And the servant putteth his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and sweareth to him concerning this matter.
10 Tada sluga uze deset kamila izmeðu kamila gospodara svojega da ide, jer sve blago gospodara njegova bješe pod njegovom rukom; i otišav doðe u Mesopotamiju do grada Nahorova.
And the servant taketh ten camels of the camels of his lord and goeth, also of all the goods of his lord in his hand, and he riseth, and goeth unto Aram-Naharaim, unto the city of Nahor;
11 I pusti kamile da poliježu iza grada kod studenca pred veèe kad izlaze graðanke da zahvataju vode;
and he causeth the camels to kneel at the outside of the city, at the well of water, at even-time, at the time of the coming out of the women who draw water.
12 I reèe: Gospode Bože gospodara mojega Avrama, daj mi sreæu danas i uèini milost gospodaru mojemu Avramu.
And he saith, 'Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, cause to meet, I pray Thee, before me this day — (and do kindness with my lord Abraham;
13 Evo, ja æu stajati kod ovoga studenca, a graðanke æe doæi da zahvataju vode.
lo, I am standing by the fountain of water, and daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;
14 Kojoj djevojci reèem: nagni krèag svoj da se napijem, a ona reèe: na pij, i kamile æu ti napojiti; daj to da bude ona koju si namijenio sluzi svojemu Isaku; i po tome da poznam da si uèinio milost gospodaru mojemu.
and it hath been, the young person unto whom I say, Incline, I pray thee, thy pitcher, and I drink, and she hath said, Drink, and I water also thy camels) — her Thou hast decided for Thy servant, for Isaac; and by it I know that Thou hast done kindness with my lord.'
15 I on još ne izgovori, a to Reveka, kæi Vatuila sina Melhe žene Nahora brata Avramova, doðe s krèagom na ramenu.
And it cometh to pass, before he hath finished speaking, that lo, Rebekah (who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, wife of Nahor, brother of Abraham) is coming out, and her pitcher on her shoulder,
16 I bješe vrlo lijepa, još djevojka, još je èovjek ne bješe poznao. Ona siðe na izvor, i natoèi krèag, i poðe;
and the young person [is] of very good appearance, a virgin, and a man hath not known her; and she goeth down to the fountain, and filleth her pitcher, and cometh up.
17 A sluga iskoèi pred nju i reèe: daj mi da se napijem malo vode iz krèaga tvojega.
And the servant runneth to meet her, and saith, 'Let me swallow, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher;'
18 A ona reèe: na pij, gospodaru. I brže spusti krèag na ruku svoju, i napoji ga.
and she saith, 'Drink, my lord;' and she hasteth, and letteth down her pitcher upon her hand, and giveth him drink.
19 I kad ga napoji, reèe: i kamilama æu tvojim naliti neka se napiju.
And she finisheth giving him drink, and saith, 'Also for thy camels I draw till they have finished drinking;'
20 I brže izruèi krèag svoj u pojilo, pa opet otrèa na studenac da nalije, i nali svijem kamilama njegovijem.
and she hasteth, and emptieth her pitcher into the drinking-trough, and runneth again unto the well to draw, and draweth for all his camels.
21 A èovjek joj se divljaše, i æutaše, neæe li poznati je li Gospod dao sreæu putu njegovu ili nije.
And the man, wondering at her, remaineth silent, to know whether Jehovah hath made his way prosperous or not.
22 A kad se kamile napiše, izvadi èovjek zlatnu grivnu od po sikla i metnu joj oko èela, i dvije narukvice metnu joj na ruke od deset sikala zlata.
And it cometh to pass when the camels have finished drinking, that the man taketh a golden ring (whose weight [is] a bekah), and two bracelets for her hands (whose weight [is] ten [bekahs] of gold),
23 I reèe: èija si kæi? kaži mi. Ima li u kuæi oca tvojega mjesta za nas da prenoæimo?
and saith, 'Whose daughter [art] thou? declare to me, I pray thee, is the house of thy father a place for us to lodge in?'
24 A ona mu reèe: ja sam kæi Vatuila sina Melšina, kojega rodi Nahoru.
And she saith unto him, 'I [am] daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she hath borne to Nahor.'
25 Još reèe: ima u nas mnogo slame i piæe i mjesta za noæište.
She saith also unto him, 'Both straw and provender [are] abundant with us, also a place to lodge in.'
26 Tada èovjek savivši se pokloni se Gospodu,
And the man boweth, and doth obeisance to Jehovah,
27 I reèe: blagosloven da je Gospod Bog gospodara mojega Avrama, što ne ostavi milosti svoje i vjere svoje prema gospodaru mojem, i putem dovede me Gospod u dom rodbine gospodara mojega.
and saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, who hath not left off His kindness and His truth with my lord; — I [being] in the way, Jehovah hath led me to the house of my lord's brethren.'
28 A djevojka otrèa i sve ovo kaza u domu matere svoje.
And the young person runneth, and declareth to the house of her mother according to these words.
29 A Reveka imaše brata, kojemu ime bješe Lavan; i istrèa Lavan k èovjeku na studenac,
And Rebekah hath a brother, and his name [is] Laban, and Laban runneth unto the man who [is] without, unto the fountain;
30 Kako vidje grivnu i narukvice na rukama sestre svoje i èu gdje Reveka sestra mu reèe: tako mi kaza èovjek; doðe k èovjeku; a on stajaše kod kamila na studencu.
yea, it cometh to pass, when he seeth the ring, and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heareth the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, 'Thus hath the man spoken unto me,' that he cometh in unto the man, and lo, he is standing by the camels by the fountain.
31 I reèe: hodi, koji si blagosloven od Gospoda; što bi stajao napolju? spremio sam kuæu, ima mjesta i za kamile.
And he saith, 'Come in, O blessed one of Jehovah, why standest thou without, and I — I have prepared the house and place for the camels!'
32 I dovede èovjeka u kuæu, i rastovari kamile; i dadoše slame i piæe kamilama, i donesoše vode za noge njemu i ljudima što bijahu s njim;
And he bringeth in the man into the house, and looseth the camels, and giveth straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who [are] with him:
33 I postaviše mu da jede; ali on reèe: neæu jesti dokle ne kažem stvar svoju. A Lavan mu reèe: govori.
and setteth before him to eat; but he saith, 'I do not eat till I have spoken my word;' and he saith, 'Speak.'
34 Tada reèe: ja sam sluga Avramov.
And he saith, 'I [am] Abraham's servant;
35 A Gospod je blagoslovio gospodara mojega veoma, te je postao velik, i dao mu je ovaca i goveda, i srebra i zlata, i sluga i sluškinja, i kamila i magaraca.
and Jehovah hath blessed my lord exceedingly, and he is great; and He giveth to him flock, and herd, and silver, and gold, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses;
36 I još Sara žena gospodara mojega rodi sina gospodaru mojemu u starosti njegovoj, i on mu dade sve što ima.
and Sarah, my lord's wife, beareth a son to my lord, after she hath been aged, and he giveth to him all that he hath.
37 A mene zakle gospodar moj govoreæi: nemoj dovesti sinu mojemu žene izmeðu kæeri ovijeh Hananeja, meðu kojima živim;
'And my lord causeth me to swear, saying, Thou dost not take a wife to my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in whose land I am dwelling.
38 Nego idi u dom oca mojega i u rod moj, da dovedeš ženu sinu mojemu.
If not — unto the house of my father thou dost go, and unto my family, and thou hast taken a wife for my son.
39 A ja rekoh gospodaru svojemu: može biti da djevojka neæe htjeti poæi sa mnom.
'And I say unto my lord, It may be the woman doth not come after me;
40 A on mi reèe: Gospod, po èijoj volji svagda življah, poslaæe anðela svojega s tobom, i daæe sreæu tvojemu putu da dovedeš ženu sinu mojemu od roda mojega, iz doma oca mojega.
and he saith unto me, Jehovah, before whom I have walked habitually, doth send His messenger with thee, and hath prospered thy way, and thou hast taken a wife for my son from my family, and from the house of my father;
41 Onda æe ti biti prosta zakletva moja, kad otideš u rod moj; ako ti je i ne dadu, opet æe ti biti prosta zakletva moja.
then art thou acquitted from my oath, when thou comest unto my family, and if they give not [one] to thee; then thou hast been acquitted from my oath.
42 I kad doðoh danas na studenac, rekoh: Gospode Bože gospodara mojega Avrama, ako si dao sreæu putu mojemu, kojim idem,
'And I come to-day unto the fountain, and I say, Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, if Thou art, I pray Thee, making prosperous my way in which I am going —
43 Evo, ja æu stajati kod studenca: koja djevojka doðe da zahvati vode, i ja joj kažem: daj mi da se napijem malo vode iz krèaga tvojega,
(lo, I am standing by the fountain of water), then the virgin who is coming out to draw, and I have said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher,
44 A ona mi odgovori: i ti pij i kamilama æu tvojim naliti; to neka bude žena koju je namijenio Gospod sinu gospodara mojega.
and she hath said unto me, Both drink thou, and also for thy camels I draw — she is the woman whom Jehovah hath decided for my lord's son.
45 Ja još ne izgovorih u srcu svojem, a doðe Reveka s krèagom na ramenu, i sišavši na izvor zahvati; i ja joj rekoh: daj mi da se napijem.
'Before I finish speaking unto my heart, then lo, Rebekah is coming out, and her pitcher on her shoulder, and she goeth down to the fountain, and draweth; and I say unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee,
46 A ona brže spustivši sa sebe krèag reèe: na pij, i kamile æu ti napojiti. I kad se napih, napoji i kamile moje.
and she hasteth and letteth down her pitcher from off her and saith, Drink, and thy camels also I water; and I drink, and the camels also she hath watered.
47 I zapitah je govoreæi: èija si kæi? A ona odgovori: ja sam kæi Vatuila sina Nahorova, kojega mu rodi Melha. Tada joj metnuh grivnu oko èela i narukvice na ruke;
'And I ask her, and say, Whose daughter [art] thou? and she saith, Daughter of Bethuel, son of Nahor, whom Milcah hath borne to him, and I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands,
48 I padoh i poklonih se Gospodu, i zahvalih Gospodu Bogu gospodara mojega Avrama, što me dovede pravijem putem da naðem kæer brata gospodara svojega za sina njegova.
and I bow, and do obeisance before Jehovah, and I bless Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, who hath led me in the true way to receive the daughter of my lord's brother for his son.
49 Ako æete dakle uèiniti ljubav i vjeru gospodaru mojemu, kažite mi; ako li neæete, kažite mi, da idem na desno ili na lijevo.
'And now, if ye are dealing kindly and truly with my lord, declare to me; and if not, declare to me; and I turn unto the right or unto the left.'
50 A Lavan i Vatuilo odgovarajuæi rekoše: od Gospoda je ovo došlo; mi ti ne možemo kazati ni zlo ni dobro.
And Laban answereth — Bethuel also — and they say, 'The thing hath gone out from Jehovah; we are not able to speak unto thee bad or good;
51 Eto, Reveka je u tvojoj vlasti, uzmi je pa idi, i neka bude žena sinu tvojega gospodara, kao što kaza Gospod.
lo, Rebekah [is] before thee, take and go, and she is a wife to thy lord's son, as Jehovah hath spoken.'
52 A kad èu sluga Avramov rijeèi njihove, pokloni se Gospodu do zemlje;
And it cometh to pass, when the servant of Abraham hath heard their words, that he boweth himself towards the earth before Jehovah;
53 I izvadi sluga zaklade srebrne i zlatne i haljine, i dade Reveci; takoðer i bratu njezinu i materi njezinoj dade darove.
and the servant taketh out vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and giveth to Rebekah; precious things also he hath given to her brother and to her mother.
54 Potom jedoše i piše on i ljudi koji bijahu s njim, i prenoæiše. A kad ujutru ustaše, reèe sluga: pustite me gospodaru mojemu.
And they eat and drink, he and the men who [are] with him, and lodge all night; and they rise in the morning, and he saith, 'Send me to my lord;'
55 A brat i mati njezina rekoše: neka ostane djevojka kod nas koji dan, barem deset dana, pa onda neka ide.
and her brother saith — her mother also — 'Let the young person abide with us a week or ten days, afterwards doth she go.'
56 A on im reèe: nemojte me zadržavati, kad je Gospod dao sreæu mojemu putu; pustite me da idem gospodaru svojemu.
And he saith unto them, 'Do not delay me, seeing Jehovah hath prospered my way; send me away, and I go to my lord;'
57 Tada rekoše: da zovemo djevojku, i upitamo šta ona veli.
and they say, 'Let us call for the young person, and ask at her mouth;'
58 I dozvaše Reveku i rekoše joj: hoæeš iæi s ovijem èovjekom? A ona odgovori: hoæu.
and they call for Rebekah, and say unto her, 'Dost thou go with this man?' and she saith, 'I go.'
59 I pustiše Reveku sestru svoju i dojkinju njezinu sa slugom Avramovijem i ljudima njegovijem.
And they send away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men;
60 I blagosloviše Reveku i rekoše joj: sestro naša, da se namnožiš na tisuæe tisuæa, i sjeme tvoje da naslijedi vrata svojih neprijatelja!
and they bless Rebekah, and say to her, 'Thou [art] our sister; become thou thousands of myriads, and thy seed doth possess the gate of those hating it.'
61 I podiže se Reveka s djevojkama svojim, i posjedaše na kamile, i poðoše s èovjekom; i sluga uzev Reveku otide.
And Rebekah and her young women arise, and ride on the camels, and go after the man; and the servant taketh Rebekah and goeth.
62 A Isak iðaše vraæajuæi se od studenca živoga koji me vidi jer življaše u južnom kraju
And Isaac hath come in from the entrance of the Well of the Living One, my Beholder; and he is dwelling in the land of the south,
63 A bješe izašao Isak u polje pred veèe da se pomoli Bogu; i podigav oèi svoje ugleda kamile gdje idu.
and Isaac goeth out to meditate in the field, at the turning of the evening, and he lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, camels are coming.
64 I Reveka podigavši oèi svoje ugleda Isaka, te skoèi s kamile,
And Rebekah lifteth up her eyes, and seeth Isaac, and alighteth from off the camel;
65 I reèe sluzi: ko je onaj èovjek što ide preko polja pred nas? A sluga reèe: ono je gospodar moj. I ona uze pokrivalo i pokri lice.
and she saith unto the servant, 'Who [is] this man who is walking in the field to meet us?' and the servant saith, 'It [is] my lord;' and she taketh the veil, and covereth herself.
66 I pripovjedi sluga Isaku sve što je svršio.
And the servant recounteth to Isaac all the things that he hath done,
67 I odvede je Isak u šator Sare matere svoje; i uze Reveku, i ona mu posta žena, i omilje mu. I Isak se utješi za materom svojom.
and Isaac bringeth her in unto the tent of Sarah his mother, and he taketh Rebekah, and she becometh his wife, and he loveth her, and Isaac is comforted after [the death of] his mother.
