Genesis 22

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Some time after these events, God put Abraham to the test. He called to him, "Abraham!" "Ready!" he replied.	1 Poslije tih događaja Bog stavi Abrahama na kušnju. Zovnu ga: »Abrahame!« On odgovori: »Evo me!«
2 Then God said: "Take your son Isaac, your only one, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. There you shall offer him up as a holocaust on a height that I will point out to you."	2 Bog nastavi: »Uzmi svoga sina, jedinca svoga Izaka koga ljubiš, i pođi u krajinu Moriju pa ga ondje prinesi kao žrtvu paljenicu na brdu koje ću ti pokazati.«
3 Early the next morning Abraham saddled his donkey, took with him his son Isaac, and two of his servants as well, and with the wood that he had cut for the holocaust, set out for the place of which God had told him.	3 Ujutro Abraham podrani, osamari magarca, sa sobom povede dvojicu svojih slugu i svog sina Izaka, pošto je prije nacijepao drva za žrtvu paljenicu, i uputi se na mjesto koje mu je Bog označio.
4 On the third day Abraham got sight of the place from afar.	4 Treći dan Abraham podigne oči i opazi mjesto izdaleka.
5 Then he said to his servants: "Both of you stay here with the donkey, while the boy and I go on over yonder. We will worship and then come back to you."	5 Abraham onda reče slugama: »Vi ostanite ovdje uz magarca, a ja i dječak odosmo gore da se poklonimo, pa ćemo se vratiti k vama.«
6 Thereupon Abraham took the wood for the holocaust and laid it on his son Isaac's shoulders, while he himself carried the fire and the knife.	6 Abraham uzme drva za žrtvu paljenicu, stavi ih na sina Izaka, a u svoju ruku uzme kremen i nož. Tako pođu obojica zajedno.
7 As the two walked on together, Isaac spoke to his father Abraham. "Father!" he said. "Yes, son," he replied. Isaac continued, "Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the sheep for the holocaust?"	7 Onda Izak reče svome ocu Abrahamu: »Oče!« »Evo me, sine!« – javi se on. »Evo kremena i drva«, opet će sin, »ali gdje je janje za žrtvu paljenicu?«
8 "Son," Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the sheep for the holocaust." Then the two continued going forward.	8 »Bog će već providjeti janje za žrtvu paljenicu, sine moj!« – odgovori Abraham. I nastave put.
9 When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. Next he tied up his son Isaac, and put him on top of the wood on the altar.	9 Stignu na mjesto o kojemu je Bog govorio. Ondje Abraham podigne žrtvenik, naslaže drva, sveže svog sina Izaka i položi ga po drvima na žrtvenik.
10 Then he reached out and took the knife to slaughter his son.	10 Pruži sad Abraham ruku i uzme nož da zakolje svog sina.
11 But the LORD'S messenger called to him from heaven, "Abraham, Abraham!" "Yes, Lord," he answered.	11 Uto ga zovne s neba anđeo Jahvin i poviče: »Abrahame! Abrahame!« »Evo me!« – odgovori on.
12 "Do not lay your hand on the boy," said the messenger. "Do not do the least thing to him. I know now how devoted you are to God, since you did not withhold from me your own beloved son."	12 »Ne spuštaj ruku na dječaka«, reče, »niti mu što čini! Sad, evo, znam da se Boga bojiš, jer nisi uskratio ni svog sina, jedinca svoga.«
13 As Abraham looked about, he spied a ram caught by its horns in the thicket. So he went and took the ram and offered it up as a holocaust in place of his son.	13 Podiže Abraham oči i pogleda, i gle – za njim ovan, rogovima se zapleo u grmu. Tako Abraham ode, uzme ovna i prinese ga za žrtvu paljenicu mjesto svoga sina.
14 Abraham named the site Yahweh-yireh; hence people now say, "On the mountain the LORD will see."	14 Onome mjestu Abraham dade ime »Jahve proviđa«. Zato se danas veli: »Na brdu Jahvina proviđanja.«
15 Again the LORD'S messenger called to Abraham from heaven	15 Anđeo Jahvin zovne Abrahama s neba drugi put
16 and said: "I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you acted as you did in not withholding from me your beloved son,	16 i reče: »Kunem se samim sobom, izjavljuje Jahve: Kad si to učinio i nisi mi uskratio svog jedinca sina,
17 I will bless you abundantly and make your descendants as countless as the stars of the sky and the sands of the seashore; your descendants shall take possession of the gates of their enemies,	17 svoj ću blagoslov na te izliti i učiniti tvoje potomstvo brojnim poput zvijezda na nebu i pijeska na obali morskoj! A tvoji će potomci osvajati vrata svojih neprijatelja.
18 and in your descendants all the nations of the earth shall find blessing--all this because you obeyed my command.''	18 Budući da si poslušao moju zapovijed, svi će se narodi zemlje blagoslivljati tvojim potomstvom.«
19 Abraham then returned to his servants, and they set out together for Beer-sheba, where Abraham made his home.	19 Zatim se Abraham vrati k svojim slugama pa se zajedno upute u Beer Šebu. U Beer Šebi se Abraham nastani.
20 Some time afterward, the news came to Abraham: "Milcah too has borne sons, to your brother Nahor:	20 Poslije tih događaja obavijeste Abrahama: »I tvome bratu Nahoru Milka je porodila djecu:
21 Uz, his first-born, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),	21 njegova prvorođenca Usa, brata mu Buza i Kemuela – oca Aramova,
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."	22 Keseda, Haza, Pildaša, Jidlafa i Betuela.«
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Abraham's brother Nahor.	23 Betuel je bio otac Rebekin. Njih je osam rodila Milka Nahoru, Abrahamovu bratu.
24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore children: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.	24 A i njegova suložnica, kojoj bijaše ime Reuma, rodila je Tebaha, Gahama, Tahaša i Maaku.
