1 Мојсијева 47

1 И отишавши Јосиф јави Фараону и рече: Отац мој и браћа моја с овцама својим и с говедима својим и са свим што имају дођоше из земље хананске, и ево их у земљи гесемској.

Then Joseph went to Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers with their flocks and their herds and all they have, are come from Canaan, and are now in the land of Goshen.

2 И узевши неколицину браће своје, пет људи, изведе их пред Фараона.

And he took five of his brothers to Pharaoh.

3 А Фараон рече браћи његовој: Какву радњу радите? А они рекоше Фараону: Пастири су слуге твоје, и ми и наши стари.

And Pharaoh said to them, What is your business? And they said, Your servants are keepers of sheep, as our fathers were before us.

4 Још рекоше Фараону: Дођосмо да живимо као дошљаци у овој земљи, јер нема паше за стоку твојих слуга, јер је велика глад у земљи хананској; а сада допусти да живе у земљи гесемској слуге твоје.

And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to make a living in this land, because we have no grass for our flocks in the land of Canaan; so now let your servants make a place for themselves in the land of Goshen.

5 А Фараон рече Јосифу: Отац твој и браћа твоја дођоше к теби;

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Let them have the land of Goshen; and if there are any able men among them, put them over my cattle.

6 У твојој је власти земља мисирска; на најбољем месту у овој земљи насели оца свог и браћу своју, нека живе у земљи гесемској; и ако које знаш између њих да су вредни људи, постави их над мојом стоком.

And Jacob and his sons came to Joseph in Egypt, and when word of it came to the ears of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, he said to Joseph, Your father and brothers have come to you; all the land of Egypt is before you; let your father and your brothers have the best of the land for their resting-place.

7 После доведе Јосиф и Јакова оца свог и изведе га пред Фараона, и благослови Јаков Фараона.

Then Joseph made his father Jacob come before Pharaoh, and Jacob gave him his blessing.

8 А Фараон рече Јакову: Колико ти има година?

And Pharaoh said to him, How old are you?

9 Одговори Јаков Фараону: Мени има сто и тридесет година, како сам дошљак. Мало је дана живота мог и зли су били, нити стижу век отаца мојих, колико су они живели.

And Jacob said, The years of my wanderings have been a hundred and thirty; small in number and full of sorrow have been the years of my life, and less than the years of the wanderings of my fathers.

10 И благословив Јаков Фараона отиде од Фараона.

And Jacob gave Pharaoh his blessing, and went out from before him.

11 А Јосиф насели оца свог и браћу своју, и даде им добро у земљи мисирској на најбољем месту те земље, у земљи рамеској, као што заповеди Фараон.

And Joseph made a place for his father and his brothers, and gave them a heritage in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had given orders.

12 И храњаше Јосиф хлебом оца свог и браћу своју и сав дом оца свог до најмањег.

And Joseph took care of his father and his brothers and all his father's people, giving them food for the needs of their families.

13 Али неста хлеба у свој земљи, јер глад беше врло велика, и узмучи се земља мисирска и земља хананска од глади.

Now there was no food to be had in all the land, so that all Egypt and Canaan were wasted from need of food.

14 И покупи Јосиф све новце што се налажаху по земљи мисирској и по земљи хананској за жито, које куповаху, и слагаше новце у кућу Фараонову.

And all the money in Egypt and in the land of Canaan which had been given for grain, came into the hands of Joseph: and he put it in Pharaoh's house.

15 А кад неста новца у земљи мисирској и у земљи хананској, стадоше сви Мисирци долазити к Јосифу говорећи: Дај нам хлеба; зашто да мремо код тебе, што новаца нема?

And when all the money in Egypt and Canaan was gone, the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread; would you have us come to destruction before your eyes? for we have no more money.

16 А Јосиф им говораше: Дајте стоку своју, па ћу вам дати хлеба за стоку, кад је нестало новца.

And Joseph said, Give me your cattle; I will give you grain in exchange for your cattle if your money is all gone.

17 И довођаху стоку своју к Јосифу, и Јосиф им даваше хлеба за коње и за овце и за говеда и за магарце. Тако их прехрани ону годину хлебом за сву стоку њихову.

So they took their cattle to Joseph and he gave them bread in exchange for their horses and flocks and herds and asses, so all that year he gave them food in exchange for their cattle.

18 А кад прође она година, стадоше опет долазити к њему друге године говорећи: Не можемо тајити од господара свог, али је новаца нестало, и стока коју имасмо у нашег је господара; и није остало ништа да донесемо господару свом осим телеса наших и њива наших.

And when that year was ended, they came to him in the second year, and said, We may not keep it from our lord's knowledge that all our money is gone, and all the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing more to give my lord but our bodies and our land;

19 Зашто да мремо на твоје очи? Ево и нас и наших њива; купи нас и њиве наше за хлеб, да с њивама својим будемо робови Фараону, и дај жита да останемо живи и не помремо и да земља не опусти.

Are we to come to destruction before your eyes, we and our land? take us and our land and give us bread; and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh; and give us seed so that we may have life and the land may not become waste.

20 Тако покупова Јосиф Фараону све њиве у Мисиру, јер Мисирци продаваху сваки своју њиву, кад глад узе јако маха међу њима. И земља поста Фараонова.

So Joseph got all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh; for every Egyptian gave up his land in exchange for food, because of their great need; so all the land became Pharaoh's.

21 А народ пресели у градове од једног краја Мисира до другог.

And as for the people, he made servants of them, town by town, from one end of Egypt to the other.

22 Само не купи свештеничке њиве; јер Фараон одреди део свештеницима, и храњаху се од свог дела, који им даде Фараон, те не продаше својих њива.

Only he did not take the land of the priests, for the priests had their food given them by Pharaoh, and having what Pharaoh gave them, they had no need to give up their land.

23 А Јосиф рече народу: Ево купих данас вас и њиве ваше Фараону; ево вам семе, па засејте њиве.

Then Joseph said to the people, I have made you and your land this day the property of Pharaoh; here is seed for you to put in your fields.

24 А шта буде рода, даћете пето Фараону, а четири дела нека буду вама за семе по њивама и за храну вама и онима који су по кућама вашим и за храну деци вашој.

And when the grain is cut, you are to give a fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts will be yours for seed and food, and for your families and your little ones.

25 А они рекоше: Ти си нам живот сачувао; нека нађемо милост пред господарем својим да будемо робови Фараону.

And they said to him, Truly you have kept us from death; may we have grace in your eyes, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.

26 И постави Јосиф закон до данашњег дана за њиве мисирске да се даје пето Фараону; само њиве свештеничке не посташе Фараонове.

Then Joseph made a law which is in force to this day, that Pharaoh was to have the fifth part; only the land of the priests did not become his.

27 А деца Израиљева живљаху у земљи мисирској у крају гесемском, и држаху га, и народише се и намножише се веома.

And so Israel was living among the Egyptians in the land of Goshen; and they got property there, and became very great in numbers and in wealth.

28 И Јаков поживе у земљи мисирској седамнаест година; а свега би Јакову сто и четрдесет и седам година.

And Jacob was living in the land of Goshen for seventeen years; so the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.

29 А кад се приближи време Израиљу да умре, дозва сина свог Јосифа, и рече му: Ако сам нашао милост пред тобом, метни руку своју под стегно моје, и учини ми милост и веру, немој ме погрепсти у Мисиру;

And the time of his death came near, and he sent for his son Joseph and said to him, If now I am dear to you, put your hand under my leg and take an oath that you will not put me to rest in Egypt;

30 Него нека лежим код отаца својих; и ти ме однеси из Мисира и погреби ме у гробу њиховом. А он рече: Учинићу како си казао.

But when I go to my fathers, you are to take me out of Egypt and put me to rest in their last resting-place. And he said, I will do so.

31 И рече му Јаков: Закуни ми се. И он му се закле. И поклони се Израиљ преко узглавља од одра свог.

And he said, Take an oath to me; and he took an oath to him: and Israel gave worship on the bed's head.
