Genesis 15

1 Now when these things were done, the word of the Lord came to Abram by a vision, saying: Fear not, Abram, I am thy protector, and thy reward exceeding great.

Poslije ovijeh stvari doðe Avramu rijeè Gospodnja u utvari govoreæi: ne boj se, Avrame, ja sam ti štit, i plata je tvoja vrlo velika.

2 And Abram said: Lord God, what wilt thou give me? I shall go without children: and the son of the steward of my house is this Damascus Eliezer.

A Avram reèe: Gospode, Gospode, šta æeš mi dati kad živim bez djece, a na kom æe ostati moja kuæa to je Elijezer ovaj Damaštanin?

3 And Abram added: But to me thou hast not given seed: and lo my servant, born in my house, shall be my heir.

Još reèe Avram: eto meni nijesi dao poroda, pa æe sluga roðen u kuæi mojoj biti moj našljednik.

4 And immediately the word of the Lord came to him, saying: He shall not be thy heir: but he that shall come out of thy bowels, him shalt thou have for thy heir.

A gle, Gospod mu progovori: neæe taj biti našljednik tvoj, nego koji æe izaæi od tebe taj æe ti biti našljednik.

5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said to him: Look up to heaven and number the stars, if thou canst. And he said to him: So shall thy seed be.

Pa ga izvede napolje i reèe mu: pogledaj na nebo i prebroj zvijezde, ako ih možeš prebrojiti. I reèe mu: tako æe biti sjeme tvoje.

6 Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.

I povjerova Avram Bogu, a on mu primi to u pravdu.

7 And he said to him: I am the Lord who brought thee out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land, and that thou mightest possess it.

I reèe mu: ja sam Gospod, koji te izvedoh iz Ura Haldejskoga da ti dam zemlju ovu da bude tvoja.

8 But he said: Lord God, whereby may I know that I shall possess it?

A on reèe: Gospode, Gospode, po èemu æu poznati da æe biti moja?

9 And the Lord answered, and said: Take me a cow of three years old, and a she goat of three years, and a ram of three years, a turtle also, and a pigeon.

I reèe mu: prinesi mi junicu od tri godine i kozu od tri godine i ovna od tri godine i grlicu i golupèe.

10 And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the two pieces of each one against the other; but the birds he divided not.

I on uze sve to, i rasijeèe na pole, i metnu sve pole jednu prema drugoj; ali ne rasijeèe ptica.

11 And the fowls came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.

A ptice slijetahu na te mrtve životinje; a Avram ih odgonjaše.

12 And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a great and darksome horror seized upon him.

A kad sunce bješe na zahodu, uhvati Avrama tvrd san, i gle, strah i mrak velik obuze ga.

13 And it was said unto him: Know thou beforehand that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land not their own, and they shall bring them under bondage, and afflict them four hundred years.

I Gospod reèe Avramu: znaj zacijelo da æe sjeme tvoje biti došljaci u zemlji tuðoj, pa æe joj služiti, i ona æe ih muèiti èetiri stotine godina.

14 But I will judge the nation which they shall serve, and after this they shall come out with great substance.

Ali æu suditi i narodu kojemu æe služiti; a poslije æe oni izaæi s velikim blagom.

15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace, and be buried in a good old age.

A ti æeš otiæi k ocima svojim u miru, i biæeš pogreben u dobroj starosti.

16 But in the fourth generation they shall return hither: for as yet the iniquities of the Amorrhites are not at the full until this present time.

A oni æe se u èetvrtom koljenu vratiti ovamo; jer grijesima Amorejskim još nije kraj.

17 And when the sun was set, there arose a dark mist, and there appeared a smoking furnace and a lamp of fire passing between those divisions.

A kad se sunce smiri i kad se smrèe, gle, peæ se dimljaše, i plamen ognjeni prolažaše izmeðu onijeh dijelova.

18 That day God made a covenant with Abram, saying: To thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt even to the great river Euphrates.

Taj dan uèini Gospod zavjet s Avramom govoreæi: sjemenu tvojemu dadoh zemlju ovu od vode Misirske do velike vode, vode Efrata,

19 The Cineans and Cenezites, the Cedmonites,

Kenejsku, Kenezejsku i Kedmonejsku,

20 And the Hethites, and the Pherezites, the Raphaim also,

I Hetejsku i Ferezejsku i Rafajsku,

21 And the Amorrhites, and the Chanaanites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites.

I Amorejsku i Hananejsku i Gergesejsku i Jevusejsku.
