Genesis 48
1 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Poslije javiše Josifu: eno, otac ti je bolestan. A on povede sa sobom dva sina svoja, Manasiju i Jefrema.
2 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
I javiše Jakovu i rekoše: evo sin tvoj Josif ide k tebi. A Izrailj se okrijepi, te sjede na postelji svojoj.
3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
I reèe Jakov Josifu: Bog svemoguæi javi se meni u Luzu u zemlji Hananskoj, i blagoslovi me;
4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
I reèe mi: uèiniæu te da narasteš i namnožiš se; i uèiniæu od tebe mnoštvo naroda, i daæu zemlju ovu sjemenu tvojemu nakon tebe da je njihova dovijeka.
5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
Sada dakle dva sina tvoja, što ti se rodiše u zemlji Misirskoj prije nego doðoh k tebi u Misir, moji su, Jefrem i Manasija kao Ruvim i Simeun neka budu moji.
6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
A djeca koju rodiš poslije njih, neka budu tvoja i neka se po imenu braæe svoje zovu u našljedstvu svojem.
7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Beth–lehem.
Jer kad se vratih iz Padana, umrije mi Rahilja u zemlji Hananskoj na putu, kad bješe još malo do Efrate; i pogreboh je na putu u Efratu, a to je Vitlejem.
8 And Israel beheld Joseph’s sons, and said, Who are these?
A vidjev Izrailj sinove Josifove, reèe: ko su ovi?
9 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
A Josif reèe ocu svojemu: moji sinovi, koje mi Bog dade ovdje. A on reèe: dovedi ih k meni, da ih blagoslovim.
10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
A oèi bjehu Izrailju otežale od starosti, te ne mogaše dobro vidjeti. A kad mu ih privede, cjeliva ih i zagrli.
11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
I reèe Izrailj Josifu: nijesam mislio da æu vidjeti lice tvoje; a gle, Bog mi dade da vidim i porod tvoj.
12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
A Josif odmaèe ih od koljena njegovijeh i pokloni se licem do zemlje.
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near unto him.
Pa ih uze Josif obojicu, Jefrema sebi s desne strane a Izrailju s lijeve, Manasiju pak sebi s lijeve strane a Izrailju s desne; i tako ih primaèe k njemu.
14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
A Izrailj pruživ desnu ruku svoju metnu je na glavu Jefremu mlaðemu, a lijevu na glavu Manasiji, tako namjestiv ruke navlaš, ako i jest Manasija bio prvenac.
15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
I blagoslovi Josifa govoreæi: Bog, kojemu su svagda ugaðali oci moji Avram i Isak, Bog, koji me je hranio otkako sam postao do današnjega dana,
16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
Anðeo, koji me je izbavljao od svakoga zla, da blagoslovi djecu ovu, i da se po mojemu imenu i po imenu otaca mojih Avrama i Isaka prozovu, i da se kao ribe namnože na zemlji!
17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head.
A Josif kad vidje gdje otac metnu desnu ruku svoju na glavu Jefremu, ne bi mu milo, pa uhvati za ruku oca svojega da je premjesti s glave Jefremove na glavu Manasijinu.
18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
I reèe Josif ocu svojemu: ne tako, oèe; ovo je prvenac, metni desnicu njemu na glavu.
19 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
Ali otac njegov ne htje, nego reèe: znam, sine, znam; i od njega æe postati narod, i on æe biti velik; ali æe mlaði brat njegov biti veæi od njega, i sjeme æe njegovo biti veliko mnoštvo naroda.
20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
I blagoslovi ih u onaj dan i reèe: tobom æe Izrailj blagosiljati govoreæi: Bog da te uèini kao Jefrema i kao Manasiju. Tako postavi Jefrema pred Manasiju.
21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
Poslije reèe Izrailj Josifu: evo ja æu skoro umrijeti; ali æe Bog biti s vama i odvešæe vas opet u zemlju otaca vaših.
22 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
I ja ti dajem jedan dio više nego braæi tvojoj, koji uzeh iz ruku Amorejskih maèem svojim i lukom svojim.
