1 Мојсијева 24
1 А Аврам беше стар и временит, и Господ беше благословио Аврама у свему;
Now Abraham was old, and well advanced in years. The LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 И рече Аврам слузи свом најстаријем у кући својој, који беше над свим добром његовим: Метни руку своју под стегно моје,
Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, "Please put your hand under my thigh.
3 Да те закунем Господом Богом небеским и Богом земаљским да нећеш довести жене сину мом између кћери ових Хананеја, међу којима живим;
I will make you swear by the God of heaven and earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
4 Него да ћеш отићи у земљу моју и у род мој и довести жену сину мом Исаку.
But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac."
5 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?
The servant said to him, "What if the woman isn't willing to follow me to this land? Must I then bring your son back to the land from which you came?"
6 А Аврам му рече: Пази да не одведеш сина мог онамо.
Abraham said to him, "Be careful that you do not take my son back there.
7 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.
Now the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, 'I will give this land to your offspring'-- he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
8 Ако ли девојка не хтедбуде поћи с тобом, онда да ти је проста заклетва моја; само сина мог немој одвести онамо.
If the woman isn't willing to follow you, then you shall be free from this oath to me. Only you shall not bring my son there again."
9 И метну слуга руку своју под стегно Авраму господару свом, и закле му се за ово.
The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
10 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.
The servant took ten camels, of his master's camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master's with him. He arose, and went to Aram Naharaim, to the city of Nahor.
11 И пусти камиле да полежу иза града код студенца пред вече кад излазе грађанке да захватају воде;
He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
12 И рече: Господе Боже господара мог Аврама, дај ми срећу данас и учини милост господару мом Авраму.
He said, "God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13 Ево, ја ћу стајати код овог студенца, а грађанке ће доћи да захватају воде.
Look, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
14 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.
Let it happen, that the young woman to whom I will say, 'Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,' and she will say, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,'—let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master."
15 И он још не изговори, а то Ревека, кћи Ватуила сина Мелхе жене Нахора брата Аврамовог, дође с крчагом на рамену.
It happened, before he had finished speaking, that look, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.
16 И беше врло лепа, још девојка, још је човек не беше познао. Она сиђе на извор, и наточи крчаг, и пође;
The young woman was very beautiful to look at, a virgin; no man had ever slept with her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.
17 А слуга искочи пред њу, и рече; дај ми да се напијем мало воде из крчага твог.
The servant ran to meet her, and said, "Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher."
18 А она рече: На пиј, господару. И брже спусти крчаг на руку своју, и напоји га.
She said, "Drink, my lord." She hurried, and let down her pitcher to her hands, and gave him a drink.
19 И кад га напоји, рече: и камилама ћу твојим налити нека се напију.
When she had finished giving him drink, she said, "I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking."
20 И брже изручи крчаг свој у појило, па опет отрча на студенац да налије, и нали свим камилама његовим.
She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
21 А човек јој се дивљаше, и ћуташе, неће ли познати је ли Господ дао срећу путу његовом или није.
The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether God had made his journey prosperous or not.
22 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.
It happened, as the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a gold ring weighing a beka, which he put on her nose, and two bracelets for her hands weighing ten [shekels] of gold,
23 И рече: Чија си кћи? Кажи ми. Има ли у кући оца твог места за нас да преноћимо?
and said, "Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father's house for us to lodge in?"
24 А она му рече: Ја сам кћи Ватуила сина Мелшиног, кога роди Нахору.
She said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."
25 Још рече: Има у нас много сламе и пиће и места за ноћиште.
She said moreover to him, "We have plenty of straw and feed, and room to lodge in."
26 Тада човек савивши се поклони се Господу,
The man bowed his head, and worshiped God.
27 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.
He said, "Blessed be the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, he has led me on the journey to the house of my master's relatives."
28 А девојка отрча и све ово каза у дому матере своје.
The young woman ran, and told her mother's house about these words.
29 А Ревека имаше брата, коме име беше Лаван; и истрча Лаван к човеку на студенац,
Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.
30 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.
It happened, when he saw the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, "This is what the man said to me," that he came to the man. Look, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
31 И рече: Ходи, који си благословен од Господа; што би стајао напољу? Спремио сам кућу, има места и за камиле.
He said, "Come in, you blessed of God. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels."
32 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;
The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
33 И поставише му да једе; али он рече: Нећу јести докле не кажем ствар своју. А Лаван му рече: Говори.
Food was set before him to eat, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told my message." He said, "Speak on."
34 Тада рече: Ја сам слуга Аврамов.
He said, "I am Abraham's servant.
35 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.
The Lord has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
36 И још Сара жена господара мог роди сина господару мом у старости његовој, и он му даде све што има.
Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.
37 А мене закле господар мој говорећи: Немој довести сину мом жене између кћери ових Хананеја, међу којима живим;
My master made me swear, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
38 Него иди у дом оца мог и у род мој, да доведеш жену сину мом.
but you shall go to my father's house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.'
39 А ја рекох господару свом:
I said to my master, 'What if the woman will not follow me?'
40 Може бити да девојка неће хтети поћи са мном.
He said to me, 'God, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your journey. You shall take a wife for my son of my relatives, and of my father's house.
41 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.
Then will you be free from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they do not give her to you, you shall be free from my oath.'
42 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.
I came this day to the spring, and said, 'God of my master Abraham, if now you will prosper my journey in which I go—
43 И кад дођох данас на студенац, рекох: Господе Боже господара мог Аврама, ако си дао срећу путу мом, којим идем,
look, I am standing by this spring of water. Let it happen, that the virgin who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, "Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,"
44 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,
and she will tell me, "Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,"—let her be the woman who has been appointed for my master's son.'
45 А она ми одговори: и ти пиј и камилама ћу твојим налити; то нека буде жена коју је наменио Господ сину господара мог.
Before I had done speaking in my heart, look, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, 'Please give me a drink.'
46 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.
She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.' So I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
47 А она брже спустивши са себе крчаг рече: На пиј, и камиле ћу ти напојити. И кад се напих, напоји и камиле моје.
I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' She said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.
48 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;
I bowed my head, and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.
49 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.
Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. If not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left."
50 Ако ћете дакле учинити љубав и веру господару мом, кажите ми; ако ли нећете, кажите ми, да идем на десно или на лево.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered, "The thing proceeds from the LORD. We can't speak to you bad or good.
51 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.
Look, Rebekah is before you. Take, and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the LORD has spoken."
52 А кад чу слуга Аврамов речи њихове, поклони се Господу до земље;
It happened that when Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the ground.
53 И извади закладе сребрне и златне и хаљине, и даде Ревеци; такође и брату њеном и матери њеној даде дарове.
The servant brought out articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave valuable gifts to her brother and her mother.
54 Потом једоше и пише он и људи који беху с њим, и преноћише. А кад ујутру усташе, рече слуга: Пустите ме господару мом.
They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, "Send me away to my master."
55 А брат и мати њена рекоше: Нека остане девојка код нас који дан, барем десет дана, па онда нека иде.
Her brother and her mother said, "Let the young woman stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go."
56 А он им рече: Немојте ме задржавати, кад је Господ дао срећу мом путу; пустите ме да идем господару свом.
He said to them, "Do not hinder me, seeing that he has prospered my journey. Send me away that I may go to my master."
57 Тада рекоше: Да зовемо девојку, и упитамо шта она вели.
They said, "We will call the young woman, and ask her."
58 И дозваше Ревеку и рекоше јој: Хоћеш ићи с овим човеком? А она одговори: Хоћу.
They called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" She said, "I will go."
59 И пустише Ревеку сестру своју и дојкињу њену са слугом Аврамовим и људима његовим.
They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham's servant, and his men.
60 И благословише Ревеку и рекоше јој: Сестро наша, да се намножиш на хиљаде хиљада, и семе твоје да наследи врата својих непријатеља!
They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, "Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your descendants possess the gate of those who hate them."
61 И подиже се Ревека с девојкама својим, и поседаше на камиле, и пођоше с човеком; и слуга узевши Ревеку отиде.
Rebekah arose with her female servants. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 А Исак иђаше враћајући се од студенца Живога који ме виде јер живљаше у јужном крају;
Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the Negev.
63 А беше изашао Исак у поље пред вече да се помоли Богу; и подигавши очи своје угледа камиле где иду.
Isaac went out to walk in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, look, there were camels coming.
64 И Ревека подигавши очи своје угледа Исака, те скочи с камиле,
Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel.
65 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.
She said to the servant, "Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." She took her veil, and covered herself.
66 И приповеди слуга Исаку све што је свршио.
The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
67 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.
Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
