< Genesis 41 >

1 At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamt, and behold, he stood by the river.
Poslije dvije godine usnu faraon da stoji pokraj Nila.
2 Behold, seven cattle came up out of the river. They were sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.
Iz Nila iziđe sedam krava, lijepih i debelih; pasle su po šašu.
3 Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.
Ali odmah poslije njih iz Nila iziđe sedam drugih krava, ružnih i mršavih, te stanu uz one krave na obali Nila.
4 The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.
Ružne i mršave krave požderu ono sedam lijepih i pretilih, i uto se faraon probudi.
5 He slept and dreamt a second time; and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
Opet zaspi te usnu drugi san: sedam punih i jedrih klasova izraste na jednoj stabljici.
6 Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
Ali, eto, poslije njih uzraste sedam klasova šturih, istočnjakom opaljenih.
7 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
Šturi klasovi proždru sedam jedrih i punih klasova. I faraon se probudi, i gle: bio je to san.
8 In the morning, his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all of Egypt’s magicians and wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
Ujutro faraon bijaše uznemiren u duši, pa pozva sve čarobnjake i sve mudrace egipatske: ispriča im faraon svoje sne, ali mu ih nitko nije mogao protumačiti.
9 Then the chief cup bearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faults today.
Onda progovori faraonov glavni peharnik: “Moram danas spomenuti jedan svoj propust.
10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, with the chief baker.
Jednom, kad se faraon razljutio na svoje službenike, mene i glavnog pekara stavio je u zatvor u zgradi glavnog upravitelja.
11 We dreamt a dream in one night, he and I. Each man dreamt according to the interpretation of his dream.
Usnusmo san iste noći, i ja i on, ali je svaki od nas usnuo san drugog značenja.
12 There was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams. He interpreted to each man according to his dream.
Onda je s nama bio neki mladi Hebrej, sluga zapovjednika straže. Ispričasmo njemu svoje sne, a on nam ih protumači: kaza svakom značenje njegova sna.
13 As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”
Kako nam ih je protumačio, tako nam se i dogodilo: mene vratiše na moje mjesto, a onoga objesiše.”
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.
Faraon odmah pošalje po Josipa; izvuku ga brže-bolje iz tamnice; ošišaju mu kosu, obuku novo odijelo i on stupi pred faraona.
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have dreamt a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
Onda faraon reče Josipu: “Usnuo sam san, a nitko ga ne može protumačiti. Čuo sam o tebi da možeš protumačiti san čim ga čuješ.”
16 Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
“Ništa ja ne mogu”, odgovori Josip faraonu, “nego će Bog dati pravi odgovor faraonu.”
17 Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river;
Onda je faraon pripovjedao Josipu: “U svom snu stojim na obali Nila.
18 and behold, seven fat and sleek cattle came up out of the river. They fed in the marsh grass;
I gle! Iz Nila iziđe sedam debelih i lijepih krava. Pasle su po šašu.
19 and behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.
Poslije njih izađe drugih sedam krava. Bile su mršave, vrlo ružne i koštunjave. Još nikad ne vidjeh onako ružnih krava u svoj zemlji egipatskoj!
20 The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle;
I sedam mršavih i ružnih krava proždru prvih sedam debelih krava.
21 and when they had eaten them up, it couldn’t be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
Pa iako su ih progutale, nije se vidjelo da im je što u trbuhu: bile su ružne kao i prije. Uto se probudim.
22 I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good;
Zatim sam u snu vidio kako na jednoj stabljici uzraste sedam punih i lijepih klasova.
23 and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
Ali poslije njih uzraste sedam klasova zgrčenih, šturih, istočnjakom opaljenih.
24 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”
I šturi klasovi proždru sedam jedrih klasova. Kazao sam ovo i vračarima, ali nema nikoga da mi razjasni.”
25 Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.
Onda Josip reče faraonu: “Faraonov je san samo jedan: Bog javlja faraonu što kani učiniti.
26 The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.
Sedam lijepih krava, to je sedam godina; sedam lijepih klasova opet je sedam godina. Tako je samo jedan san.
27 The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.
Sedam mršavih i ružnih krava poslije njih, a tako i sedam praznih, istočnjakom opaljenih klasova, označuje sedam gladnih godina.
28 That is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
To je ono što sam već faraonu rekao: Bog objavljuje faraonu što kani učiniti.
29 Behold, seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt are coming.
Dolazi, evo, sedam godina velikog obilja svoj zemlji egipatskoj.
30 Seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,
A poslije njih nastat će sedam gladnih godina, kada će se zaboraviti sve obilje u zemlji egipatskoj.
31 and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.
Kako glad bude harala zemljom, neće se ni znati da je u zemlji bilo obilje - zbog gladi koja će doći - jer će biti vrlo velika.
32 The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
A što se faraonov san ponovio, znači da se Bog na to zaista odlučio i da će to uskoro provesti.
33 “Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Zato neka faraon izabere sposobna i mudra čovjeka te ga postavi nad zemljom egipatskom.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt’s produce in the seven plenteous years.
Nadalje, neka se faraon pobrine da postavi nadglednika u zemlji koji će kÓupiti petinu sve žetve u zemlji egipatskoj za sedam godina obilja.
35 Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and store grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
Neka skupljaju od svakog žita za sedam dobrih godina što dolaze; neka s ovlaštenjem faraonovim sabiru žito za hranu i pohranjuju ga po gradovima.
36 The food will be to supply the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; so that the land will not perish through the famine.”
Neka zalihe služe za hranu u zemlji za sedam godina gladi što će snaći zemlju egipatsku, tako da za gladi zemlja ne propadne.”
37 The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Svidje se odgovor faraonu i svim njegovim službenicima.
38 Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”
Zato faraon reče svojim službenicima: “Zar bismo mogli naći drugoga kao što je on, čovjeka koji bi bio tako obdaren duhom Božjim?”
39 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.
A onda faraon reče Josipu: “Otkako je sve to Bog tebi otkrio, nikoga nema sposobna i mudra kao što si ti.
40 You shall be over my house. All my people will be ruled according to your word. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”
Ti ćeš biti upravitelj moga dvora: sav će se moj narod pokoravati tvojim naredbama. Jedino prijestoljem ja ću biti veći od tebe.
41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
Postavljam te, evo,” reče faraon Josipu, “nad svom zemljom egipatskom.”
42 Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.
Poslije toga skine faraon sa svoje ruke pečatni prsten i stavi ga Josipu na ruku. Zatim zaodjene Josipa odjećom od najljepše tkanine, a o vrat mu objesi zlatan lanac.
43 He made him ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt.
Vozio se on u kolima kao njegov zamjenik, a pred njim klicahu: “Abrek! Na koljena!” Tako ga postavi nad svu zemlju egipatsku.
44 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh. Without you, no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
Još faraon reče Josipu: “Premda sam ja faraon, neće nitko dići svoje ruke ni noge bez tvog odobrenja u svoj zemlji egipatskoj.”
45 Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-Paneah. He gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
Faraon nazva Josipa “Safenat Paneah”, a za ženu mu dade Asenatu, kćer Poti-Fere, svećenika u Onu. I Josip postade poznat po zemlji egipatskoj.
46 Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
Josipu je bilo trideset godina kad je stupio u službu faraona, kralja egipatskog. A otišavši Josip ispred faraona, putovao je po svoj zemlji egipatskoj.
47 In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.
Za sedam rodnih godina zemlja je rađala u obilju;
48 He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities. He stored food in each city from the fields around that city.
on je - u tih sedam godina što ih je egipatska zemlja uživala - kÓupio od različite ljetine i hranu pohranjivao u gradove, smještajući u svakom gradu urod iz okolnih polja.
49 Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.
Tako Josip nagomila mnogo žita, kao pijeska u moru, pa ga prestade i mjeriti jer mu mjere ne bijaše.
50 To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
Dok još ne nasta gladna godina, Josip imade dva sina koje mu rodi Asenata, kći Poti-Fere, svećenika u Onu.
51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “For”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.”
Prvorođencu Josip nadjenu ime Manaše, “jer Bog je”, reče, “dao te sam zaboravio svoje teškoće i svoj očinski dom.”
52 The name of the second, he called Ephraim: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
Drugomu nadjenu ime Efrajim, “jer Bog me”, reče, “učinio rodnim u zemlji moje nevolje.”
53 The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
Sedam godina obilja koje je uživala zemlja egipatska dođe kraju,
54 The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
a primače se sedam gladnih godina, kako je Josip prorekao. U svim zemljama bijaše glad, a u svoj zemlji egipatskoj bijaše kruha.
55 When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”
A kad je i sva zemlja egipatska osjetila glad, puk zavapi faraonu za kruh; a faraon reče Egipćanima: “Idite k Josipu i što god vam rekne, činite!”
56 The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
Kad se glad proširi po svoj zemlji, Josip rastvori skladišta te je Egipćane opskrbljivao žitom, jer je glad postala žestoka i u zemlji egipatskoj.
57 All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
Sav je svijet išao u Egipat k Josipu da kupuje žita, jer je strašna glad vladala po svem svijetu.
