Genesis 18
1 One day during that year when it was hot, Yahweh appeared to Abraham again near the big trees that belonged to Mamre, while Abraham was sitting in the entrance to his tent.
После му се јави Господ у равници мамријској кад сеђаше на вратима пред шатором својим у подне.
2 Abraham looked up [MTY] and was surprised to see three men standing near him. [Actually, one was Yahweh, and the other two were angels]. When he saw them, he ran to meet them. He prostrated himself with his face on the ground to show respect,
Подигавши очи своје погледа, и гле, три човека стајаху према њему. И угледавши их потрча им у сусрет испред врата шатора свог, и поклони се до земље;
3 and said [to one of them], “Sir, if you are pleased with me, stay here for a little while [LIT].
И рече: Господе, ако сам нашао милост пред Тобом, немој проћи слуге свог.
4 Allow my servants to bring a little water and wash your feet, and rest under this tree.
Да вам донесем мало воде и оперите ноге, те се наслоните мало под овим дрветом.
5 Since you have come here to me, allow me to bring you some food [SYN] so that you can feel refreshed before you leave.” Yahweh replied, “All right, do as you have said.”
И изнећу мало хлеба, те поткрепите срце своје, па онда пођите, кад идете поред слуге свог. И рекоше: Учини шта си казао.
6 So Abraham quickly went into the tent and said to Sarah, “Quick, get some of our best flour and make some loaves of bread!”
И Аврам отрча у шатор к Сари, и рече: Брже замеси три копање белог брашна и испеци погаче.
7 Then he ran to the herd of cattle and selected a calf whose meat would be tender and tasty. He gave it to one of his servants [and told him to] quickly kill it and cook it.
Па отрча ка говедима и ухвати теле младо и добро, и даде га момку да га брже зготови.
8 When the meat was cooked, Abraham brought some curds and milk and the meat that had been prepared, and set them in front of his visitors. Then he stood near them, under a tree, while they ate.
Па онда изнесе масла и млека и теле које беше зготовио, и постави им, а сам стајаше пред њима под дрветом докле јеђаху.
9 [One of] them asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” He replied, “She is in the tent.”
И они му рекоше: Где је Сара жена твоја? А он рече: Ено је под шатором.
10 Then the leader of the group said, “I will return to you (about this time/in the springtime) next year, and to your amazement, your wife Sarah will have an infant son.” It happened that Sarah was listening at the entrance of the tent, which was behind the one who was speaking.
А један између њих рече: Догодине у ово доба опет ћу доћи к теби, а Сара ће жена твоја имати сина. А Сара слушаше на вратима од шатора иза њега.
11 Abraham and Sarah were very old, and Sarah was far past the time of when she could bear children.
А Аврам и Сара беху стари и временити, и у Саре беше престало шта бива у жена.
12 So Sarah laughed to herself, thinking, “My body is worn out, and my husband is old. So how can I have the pleasure [of having a child]?” [RHQ]
Зато се насмеја Сара у себи говорећи: Пошто сам остарела, сад ли ће ми доћи радост? А и господар ми је стар.
13 Yahweh said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why was she thinking, ‘I am too old, so how can I bear a child?’
Тада рече Господ Авраму: Што се смеје Сара говорећи: Истина ли је да ћу родити кад сам остарела?
14 I am Yahweh! (Is there anything too difficult for me?/There is nothing too difficult for me!) [RHQ] I will return about this time next year in the springtime, and Sarah will have an infant son.”
Има ли шта тешко Господу? Догодине у ово доба опет ћу доћи к теби, а Сара ће имати сина.
15 Then Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” But Yahweh said, “Don’t deny it! You did laugh.”
А Сара удари у бах говорећи: Нисам се смејала. Јер се уплаши. Али Он рече: Није истина, него си се смејала.
16 When the three men got up to leave, they looked down into the valley toward Sodom [city]. Abraham was walking with them to say “goodbye” to them.
Потом усташе људи оданде, и пођоше пут Содома; а Аврам пође с њима да их испрати.
17 Yahweh thought to himself, “It is not right for me to prevent Abraham from knowing what I plan to do [RHQ].
А Господ рече: Како бих тајио од Аврама шта ћу учинити,
18 Abraham’s descendants [MTY] will become a great and powerful nation. And people of [MTY] all nations will be blessed because of what I do for him.
Кад ће од Аврама постати велик и силан народ, и у њему ће се благословити сви народи на земљи?
19 I have chosen him in order that he will teach his children and their families to obey me and do what is right and fair, and then I will do for Abraham what I promised.”
Јер знам да ће заповедити синовима својим и дому свом након себе да се држе путева Господњих и да чине што је право и добро, да би Господ навршио на Авраму шта му је обећао.
20 So Yahweh said to Abraham, “I have heard the terrible things that have been said about the people of [MTY] Sodom and Gomorrah. Their sins are very great.
И рече Господ: Вика је у Содому и Гомору велика, и грех је њихов грдан.
21 So I will go down now, and I will see if all the terrible things that I have heard are true or not true.”
Зато ћу сићи да видим еда ли све чине као што вика дође преда ме; ако ли није тако, да знам.
22 Then the two men turned and started walking toward Sodom. But Yahweh remained, standing in front of Abraham.
И људи окренувши се пођоше пут Содома; али Аврам још стајаше пред Господом,
23 Abraham came closer to him and said, “Will you really destroy righteous people along with wicked ones?
И приступив Аврам рече: Хоћеш ли погубити и праведног с неправедним?
24 What will you do if there are only 50 righteous people in the city? Will you really get rid of them all, and not spare the place/city for the sake of the 50 righteous people who are in the city?
Може бити да има педесет праведника у граду; хоћеш ли и њих погубити, и нећеш опростити месту за оних педесет праведника што су у њему?
25 It would certainly not be right for you to do such a thing, to kill righteous people along with wicked ones, and treat righteous people and wicked people the same way. You could not do that, because you, who are the judge of everyone on the earth, will certainly do what is right [regarding the people of Sodom]!” [RHQ]
Немој то чинити, ни губити праведника с неправедником, да буде праведнику као и неправеднику; немој; еда ли судија целе земље неће судити право?
26 Yahweh replied, “If I find 50 righteous people in Sodom, I will spare the whole place/city for their sake.”
И рече Господ: Ако нађем у Содому педесет праведника у граду, опростићу целом месту њих ради.
27 Abraham replied, “I should not be bold like this and speak to you, God, because I am as worthless as dust and ashes [MET].
А Аврам одговори и рече: Гле, сада бих проговорио Господу, ако и јесам прах и пепео.
28 But what will you do if there are only 45 righteous people? Will you destroy everyone in the whole city because there are only 45 and not 50 righteous people?” Yahweh replied, “I will not destroy it if I find that there are 45 righteous people.”
Може бити праведника педесет мање пет, хоћеш ли за оних пет потрти сав град? Одговори: Нећу, ако нађем четрдесет и пет.
29 Abraham continued to speak to him [like this], saying, “What will you do if you find that there are only 40 righteous people there?” Yahweh replied, “I will not destroy them all, for the sake of the 40.”
И стаде даље говорити, и рече: Може бити да ће се наћи четрдесет. Рече: Нећу ради оних четрдесет.
30 Abraham said, “God, please don’t be angry now. Let me speak again. What will you do if there are only 30 righteous people?” He replied, “I will not do it if I find that there are 30 there.”
Потом рече: Немој се гневити, Господе, што ћу рећи; може бити да ће се наћи тридесет. И рече: Нећу, ако нађем тридесет.
31 Abraham said, “I should not be bold and speak to you like this, God. But what will you do if you find that there are only 20 righteous people there?” He replied, “I will not destroy the whole city, for the sake of those 20.”
Опет рече: Гле сада бих проговорио Господу; може бити да ће се наћи двадесет. Рече: Нећу их погубити за оних двадесет.
32 Abraham said, “God, don’t be angry now. Just let me speak one time more. What will you do if you find that there are only ten righteous people there?” Yahweh answered, “I will not destroy the city for the sake of those ten.”
Најпосле рече: Немој се гневити, Господе, што ћу још једном проговорити; може бити да ће се наћи десет. Рече: Нећу их погубити ради оних десет.
33 Abraham said no more, and as soon as Yahweh finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.
И Господ отиде свршивши разговор са Аврамом; а Аврам се врати на своје место.
