Kniha Genezis

1 (KAT) Abrahám bol však už starý a pokročilý vekom a Pán ho vo všetkom požehnával.
1 (KJV) And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

2 (KAT) Tu povedal Abrahám svojmu sluhovi, najstaršiemu vo svojom dome, správcovi všetkého svojho majetku: „Polož svoju ruku pod moje bedrá,
2 (KJV) And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

3 (KAT) aby som ťa sprisahal pred Pánom, Bohom neba a zeme, že pre môjho syna nevyberieš ženu z kanaánskych dcér, medzi ktorými bývam.
3 (KJV) And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

4 (KAT) Ale pôjdeš do mojej vlasti a k mojim príbuzným vybrať ženu pre môjho syna Izáka.“
4 (KJV) But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

5 (KAT) Sluha mu však odpovedal: „Možno, že nebude chcieť žena ísť so mnou do tejto krajiny. Mám potom zaviesť tvojho syna naspäť do krajiny, z ktorej si sa ty vysťahoval?“
5 (KJV) And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?

6 (KAT) Abrahám mu povedal: „Neopováž sa ta zaviesť môjho syna späť!
6 (KJV) And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.

7 (KAT) Veď Pán, Boh neba a zeme, ktorý ma vyviedol z domu môjho otca a z mojej rodnej vlasti a ktorý so mnou hovoril a prisahal mi: »Tvojmu potomstvu dám túto krajinu,« pošle pred tebou svojho anjela, aby si odtiaľ priviedol môjmu synovi ženu.
7 (KJV) The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.

8 (KAT) Ak žena nebude chcieť ísť s tebou, si zbavený tejto prísahy. Len nezaveď môjho syna naspäť!“
8 (KJV) And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.

9 (KAT) Potom sluha položil svoju ruku pod bedrá svojho pána Abraháma a prisahal mu o tej veci.
9 (KJV) And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.

10 (KAT) Nato sluha zobral z tiav svojho pána desať tiav a rozličné drahocennosti svojho pána a išiel. Vybral sa a šiel do Mezopotámie (Aram Naharaim), do Nachorovho mesta.
10 (KJV) And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.

11 (KAT) Večer, v čase, keď sa vychádzalo napájať, nechal svoje ťavy oddychovať vonku pred mestom pri studni s vodou
11 (KJV) And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.

12 (KAT) a hovoril: „Pane, Bože Abraháma, môjho pána! Daj mi dnes šťastie a preukáž láskavosť môjmu pánovi Abrahámovi!
12 (KJV) And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.

13 (KAT) Hľa, stojím pri vodnom prameni a dcéry ľudí (tohoto) mesta prichádzajú naberať vodu!
13 (KJV) Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

14 (KAT) Nech deva, ktorej poviem: »Nachýľ svoj džbán, aby som sa napil!« a ona povie: »Napi sa a napojím aj tvoje ťavy,« bude tá, ktorú si určil svojmu služobníkovi Izákovi, a podľa toho poznám, že si preukázal láskavosť môjmu pánovi.“
14 (KJV) And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.

15 (KAT) Ešte ani nedokončil reč a už prichádzala s džbánom na pleciach Rebeka, ktorá sa narodila Batuelovi, synovi Melchy, Nachorovej ženy, ktorý bol Abrahámovým bratom.
15 (KJV) And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

16 (KAT) Deva bola veľmi pekná zjavom, panna, ktorá ešte nepoznala muža. Zostúpila k prameňu, naplnila svoj džbán a vyšla hore.
16 (KJV) And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

17 (KAT) Sluha jej bežal v ústrety a povedal: „Dajže sa mi napiť trochu vody zo svojho džbána!“
17 (KJV) And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.

18 (KAT) Ona odvetila: „Napi sa, pane!“ Rýchlo si spustila džbán na ruku a dala sa mu napiť.
18 (KJV) And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.

19 (KAT) A keď ho napojila, dodala: „Aj tvojim ťavám naberiem vody, nech sa dobre napijú!“
19 (KJV) And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.

20 (KAT) Rýchlo vyliala džbán do válova a opäť utekala k studni po vodu a takto naberala pre všetky ťavy,
20 (KJV) And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

21 (KAT) kým muž ju mlčky pozoroval, aby zvedel, či Pán dá jeho ceste šťastný výsledok, alebo nie.
21 (KJV) And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.

22 (KAT) Keď sa ťavy riadne napili, vzal muž zlatý krúžok, ťažký pol šekla, a dve náramnice na jej ruky, ťažké desať šeklov zlata
22 (KJV) And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;

23 (KAT) a povedal: „Čiaže si ty dcéra? Povedz mi! Bude v dome tvojho otca miesto, aby sme tam mohli zostať?“
23 (KJV) And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?

24 (KAT) Ona mu odpovedala: „Som dcéra Batuela, syna Melchy, ktorá ho porodila Nachorovi.“
24 (KJV) And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.

25 (KAT) Ďalej mu povedala: „Slamy a krmu máme hojnosť i miesta na ubytovanie.“
25 (KJV) She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.

26 (KAT) Tu padol muž na kolená, poklonil sa Pánovi
26 (KJV) And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.

27 (KAT) a povedal: „Nech je zvelebený Pán, Boh môjho pána Abraháma, ktorý neodňal môjmu pánovi svoju láskavosť a vernosť. Veď aj mňa Pán viedol na tejto ceste k domu príbuzného môjho pána!“
27 (KJV) And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.

28 (KAT) Potom deva odbehla a rozpovedala doma svojej matke všetko, čo sa jej prihodilo.
28 (KJV) And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.

29 (KAT) Rebeka však mala brata, ktorý sa volal Laban. A Laban bežal von k mužovi pri studni.
29 (KJV) And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.

30 (KAT) Keď videl nosový krúžok a sestrine náramnice na jej rukách a keď počul slová svojej sestry: „Takto ku mne hovoril ten muž,“ šiel k mužovi, ktorý ešte stál pri ťavách pri studni,
30 (KJV) And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.

31 (KAT) a povedal mu: „Poď, Pánov požehnaný! Prečo stojíš vonku? Veď pripravil som príbytok aj miesto pre ťavy!“
31 (KJV) And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.

32 (KAT) Vtedy sa muž pobral do domu a on odsedlal ťavy, prichystal ťavám slamu a krm i vodu, aby si on a mužovia, ktorí ho sprevádzali, umyli nohy.
32 (KJV) And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.

33 (KAT) Keď mu predložili jesť, povedal: „Nebudem jesť, kým neprednesiem svoju vec!“ A on mu odpovedal: „Hovor!“
33 (KJV) And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.

34 (KAT) Potom rozprával: „Ja som Abrahámov sluha.
34 (KJV) And he said, I am Abraham's servant.

35 (KAT) Pán bohato požehnal môjho pána, takže sa stal majetným. Dal mu ovce a dobytok, striebro a zlato, sluhov a slúžky, ťavy a osly.
35 (KJV) And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

36 (KAT) A Sára, žena môjho pána, porodila môjmu pánovi vo svojej starobe syna, ktorému on prenechal celé svoje imanie.
36 (KJV) And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.

37 (KAT) Mňa však môj pán zaviazal prísahou: »Nevyberieš pre môjho syna ženu z kanaánskych dcér, v ktorých krajine bývam.
37 (KJV) And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:

38 (KAT) Ale pôjdeš do domu môjho otca a k môjmu rodu, aby si môjmu synovi priviedol ženu.«
38 (KJV) But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.

39 (KAT) Keď som však svojmu pánovi povedal: »Možno žena nepôjde so mnou,«
39 (KJV) And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.

40 (KAT) vtedy mi povedal: »Pán, pred ktorého tvárou som kráčal, pošle s tebou svojho anjela, aby dal tvojej ceste priaznivý výsledok, aby si môjmu synovi priviedol ženu z mojej čeľade a z môjho rodu.
40 (KJV) And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:

41 (KAT) Budeš však oslobodený od mojej kliatby, ak prídeš k mojim príbuzným a oni ti (ju) nedajú, vtedy budeš oslobodený od mojej kliatby.«
41 (KJV) Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.

42 (KAT) Keď som dnes prišiel k studni, hovoril som: Pane, Boh môjho pána Abraháma, kiežby si dožičil mojej ceste, ktorú konám, šťastný výsledok.
42 (KJV) And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go;

43 (KAT) Hľa, stojím pri vodnom prameni! Nech teda panna, ktorá príde po vodu a ktorej poviem: »Dajže sa mi napiť trochu vody zo svojho džbána«
43 (KJV) Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;

44 (KAT) a ona mi povie: »Len sa napi a načriem aj tvojim ťavám,« je tá žena, ktorú Pán určil pre syna môjho pána.
44 (KJV) And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.

45 (KAT) Ešte som ani nedokončil reč, keď vyšla Rebeka so svojím džbánom na pleciach, zišla k prameňu a načrela. Vtedy som jej povedal: »Dajže sa mi napiť!«
45 (KJV) And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.

46 (KAT) Ona rýchlo zložila svoj džbán a povedala: »Pi a napojím aj tvoje ťavy!« I napil som sa a ona napojila aj ťavy.
46 (KJV) And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.

47 (KAT) Potom som sa jej opýtal: »Čia si ty dcéra?« A ona mi odpovedala: »Som dcéra Batuela, Nachorovho syna, ktorému ho porodila Melcha.« Potom som jej založil do nosa krúžok a na ruky náramnice
47 (KJV) And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.

48 (KAT) i padol som na kolená, poklonil som sa Pánovi a prosil som Pána, Boha môjho pána Abraháma, ktorý ma viedol po pravej ceste, aby som priviedol dcéru príbuzného môjho pána pre jeho syna.
48 (KJV) And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.

49 (KAT) A teraz, ak chcete môjmu pánovi preukázať láskavosť a vernosť, dajte mi to vedieť, ak nie, (tiež) mi to dajte vedieť, aby som sa mohol dať napravo alebo naľavo.“
49 (KJV) And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.

50 (KAT) Laban a Batuel odpovedali takto: „Od Pána vyšla táto vec. My ti nemôžeme povedať ani áno, ani nie.
50 (KJV) Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

51 (KAT) Pozri, Rebeka je pred tebou, vezmi ju a choď! Nech sa stane ženou syna tvojho pána, ako hovoril Pán!“
51 (KJV) Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.

52 (KAT) Keď Abrahámov sluha počul ich slová, poklonil sa Pánovi až po zem.
52 (KJV) And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.

53 (KAT) Potom sluha vybral strieborné a zlaté predmety a šaty a daroval ich Rebeke. I jej bratovi a matke daroval drahocennosti.
53 (KJV) And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.

54 (KAT) Potom jedli a pili on i mužovia, ktorí ho sprevádzali, a ostali tam na noc. Keď ráno vstali, povedal on: „Prepusť ma k môjmu pánovi!“
54 (KJV) And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.

55 (KAT) Jej brat a matka však odpovedali: „Nech dievča ostane ešte nejaký čas, tak na desať dní u nás, potom môže ísť.“
55 (KJV) And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.

56 (KAT) On im však odvetil: „Nezdržujte ma, keď Pán dožičil mojej ceste šťastný výsledok! Prepusťte ma, aby som mohol ísť k môjmu pánovi!“
56 (KJV) And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.

57 (KAT) Oni mu odpovedali: „Zavoláme dievča a opýtame sa ho.“
57 (KJV) And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.

58 (KAT) Zavolali teda Rebeku a opýtali sa jej: „Chceš ísť s týmto mužom?“ Ona odpovedala: „Chcem!“
58 (KJV) And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

59 (KAT) Potom teda prepustili svoju sestru Rebeku i s jej dojkou, aj Abrahámovho sluhu s jeho mužmi.
59 (KJV) And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.

60 (KAT) I požehnávali Rebeku a hovorili jej: „Sestra naša, rozmnož sa v tisíce a desaťtisíce (potomkov) a tvoje potomstvo nech zaujme brány svojich nepriateľov!“
60 (KJV) And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

61 (KAT) Potom sa Rebeka pohla aj so svojimi slúžkami, vysadli na ťavy a nasledovali muža. A sluha Rebeku vzal a odišiel.
61 (KJV) And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

62 (KAT) Vtedy sa Izák práve vrátil z cesty od studne Lachaj roi, býval totižto v Negebe.
62 (KJV) And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country.

63 (KAT) Keď sa zvečerievalo, vyšiel Izák na pole, aby si porozmýšľal. Tu zdvihol oči a videl prichádzať ťavy.
63 (KJV) And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.

64 (KAT) Aj Rebeka zdvihla oči a zbadala Izáka. Rýchlo zosadla z ťavy
64 (KJV) And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.

65 (KAT) a povedala sluhovi: „Kto je ten muž, čo ide oproti nám po poli?“ A keď sluha povedal: „To je môj pán,“ vzala závoj a zahalila sa.
65 (KJV) For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.

66 (KAT) Potom sluha porozprával Izákovi všetko, čo vykonal,
66 (KJV) And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.

67 (KAT) a Izák ju voviedol do stanu svojej matky Sáry. Vzal si teda Rebeku a ona sa stala jeho ženou. A tak ju miloval, že našiel útechu nad stratou svojej matky.
67 (KJV) And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
