Postanak 21

Studie

   

1 I Gospod pohodi Saru, kao što beše rekao i učini Gospod Sari kao što beše kazao.

2 Jer zatrudne i rodi Sara Avramu sina u starosti njegovoj u isto vreme kad kaza Gospod.

3 I Avram nadede ime sinu koji mu se rodi, kog mu rodi Sara, Isak.

4 I obreza Avram sina svog Isaka kad bi od osam dana, kao što mu zapovedi Bog.

5 A Avramu beše sto godina kad mu se rodi sin Isak.

6 A Sara reče: Bog mi učini smeh; ko god čuje, smejaće mi se.

7 I reče: Ko bi rekao Avramu da će Sara dojiti decu? Ipak mu rodih sina u starosti njegovoj.

8 A kad dete doraste da se odbije od sise, učini Avram veliku gozbu onaj dan kad odbiše Isaka od sise.

9 I Sara vide sina Agare Misirke, koja ga rodi Avramu, gde se podsmeva;

10 Pa reče Avramu: Oteraj ovu robinju sa sinom njenim, jer sin ove robinje neće biti naslednik s mojim sinom, s Isakom.

11 A to Avramu bi vrlo krivo radi sina njegovog.

12 Ali Bog reče Avramu: Nemoj da ti je krivo radi deteta i radi robinje tvoje. Šta ti je god kazala Sara, poslušaj; jer će ti se u Isaku seme prozvati.

13 Ali ću i od sina robinjinog učiniti narod, jer je tvoje seme.

14 I Avram ustav ujutru rano, uze hleba i mešinu vode, i dade Agari metnuvši joj na leđa, i dete, i otpusti je. A ona otišavši lutaše po pustinji virsavskoj.

15 A kad nesta vode u mešini, ona baci dete pod jedno drvo,

16 Pa otide koliko se može strelom dobaciti, i sede prema njemu; jer govoraše: Da ne gledam kako će umreti dete. I sedeći prema njemu stade glasno plakati.

17 A Bog ču glas detinji, i anđeo Božji viknu s neba Agaru, i reče joj: Šta ti je Agaro? Ne boj se, jer Bog ču glas detinji odande gde je.

18 Ustani, digni dete i uzmi ga u naručje; jer ću od njega učiniti velik narod.

19 I Bog joj otvori oči, te ugleda studenac; i otišavši napuni mešinu vode, i napoji dete.

20 I Bog beše s detetom, te odraste, i živeše u pustinji i posta strelac.

21 A živeše u pustinji Faranu. I mati ga oženi iz zemlje misirske.

22 U to vreme reče Avimeleh i Fihol vojvoda njegov Avramu govoreći: Bog je s tobom u svemu što radiš.

23 Zakuni mi se sada Bogom da nećeš prevariti mene ni sina mog ni unuka mog nego da ćeš dobro onako kako sam ja tebi činio i ti činiti meni i zemlji u kojoj si došljak.

24 A Avram reče: Hoću se zakleti.

25 Ali Avram prekori Avimeleha za studenac, koji uzeše na silu sluge Avimelehove.

26 A Avimeleh reče: Ne znam ko je to učinio; niti mi ti kaza, niti čuh do danas.

27 Tada Avram uze ovaca i goveda, i dade Avimelehu, i uhvati veru među sobom.

28 A Avram odluči sedam jaganjaca iz stada.

29 A Avimeleh reče Avramu: Šta će ono sedam jaganjaca što si odlučio?

30 A on odgovori: Da primiš iz moje ruke ono sedam jaganjaca, da mi bude svedočanstvo da sam ja iskopao ovaj studenac.

31 Otuda se prozva ono mesto Virsaveja, jer se onde zakleše obojica.

32 Tako uhvatiše veru na Virsaveji. Tada se diže Avimeleh i Fihol vojvoda njegov, i vratiše se u zemlju filistejsku.

33 A Avram posadi lug na Virsaveji, i onde prizva ime Gospoda Boga Večnog.

34 I Avram živeše kao došljak u zemlji filistejskoj mnogo vremena.

2610. Genesis 21

1. And Jehovah visited Sarah as He had said, and Jehovah did to Sarah as He had spoken.

2. And Sarah conceived and bore to Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time, as God had spoken to him.

3. And Abraham called the name of his son born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.

4. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, a son eight days old, as God had commanded him.

5. And Abraham was a son a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

6. And Sarah said, God has made laughter for me; everyone that hears will laugh for me.

7. And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, Sarah will suckle sons? For I have born [him] a son in his old age.

8. And the boy grew, and was weaned; and Abraham made a great feast on the day when he weaned Isaac.

9. And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

10. And she said to Abraham, Cast out this servant-girl, and her son; for the son of this servant-girl shall not inherit together with my son, with Isaac.

11. And the matter was deeply distressing to Abraham 1 because of his son.

12. And God said to Abraham, Do not be distressed 2 about the lad and about your servant-girl. Everything which Sarah says to you, hearken to her voice, for in Isaac will your seed be called.

13. And also, the son of the servant-girl I will make into a nation, because he is your seed.

14. And in the morning Abraham rose up early, and took bread and a flask of water, and gave them to Hagar. He put them on her shoulder, and the boy, and sent her away; and she went and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

15. And the water from the flask was used up, and she put the boy under one of the shrubs.

16. And she went and sat by herself some distance away, withdrawing herself about a bowshot, for she said, Let me not see the death of the boy. And she sat some distance away and lifted up her voice and wept.

17. And God heard the boy's voice, and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven and said to her, What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the boy's voice where he is.

18. Rise up, lift the boy up, and strengthen your hand in him, for I will make him into a great nation.

19. And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the boy a drink.

20. And God was with the boy, and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and was an archer.

21. And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took for him a wife from the land of Egypt.

22. And so it was at that time, that Abimelech spoke, and Phicol the general of his army, to Abraham, saying, God is with you in all that you are doing.

23. And now swear to me here by God that you will not lie to me, and to my son, and to my grandson; according to the kindness which I have done to you, may you do to me and to the land in which you have sojourned.

24. And Abraham said, I will swear.

25. And Abraham reproached Abimelech on account of a well of water which Abimelech's servants had seized.

26. And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this thing; and you also did not point it out to me, and I too have not heard about it until today.

27. And Abraham took flocks and herds and gave them to Abimelech; and the two of them made a covenant.

28. And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.

29. And Abimelech said to Abraham, What are these seven ewe-lambs which you have set by themselves?

30. And he said, Because you will take the seven ewe-lambs from my hand, that they may be a witness for me that I dug this well.

31. Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there the two of them swore an oath.

32. And they made a covenant in Beersheba; and Abimelech rose up and Phicol the general of his army, and they returned to the land of the Philistines.

33. And he planted a grove in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of [Jehovah,] the God of Eternity.

34. And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines for many days.
