1 Mojzes 37
1 Jakob je prebival v deželi, v kateri je bil njegov oče tujec, v kánaanski deželi.
Jacob lived in the land of his father’s travels, in the land of Canaan.
2 To so Jakobovi rodovi. Jožef je bil star sedemnajst let, ko je s svojimi brati pasel trop in deček je bil s sinovi Bilhe in s sinovi Zilpe, ženama svojega očeta. Jožef je svojemu očetu prinesel njihovo zlo poročilo.
This is the history of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph brought an evil report of them to their father.
3 Torej Izrael je bolj ljubil Jožefa kakor vse svoje otroke, ker je bil sin njegove visoke starosti. Naredil mu je plašč iz mnogih barv.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a tunic of many colours.
4 Ko so njegovi bratje videli, da ga je njihov oče bolj ljubil kakor vse njegove brate, so ga zasovražili in niso mogli miroljubno govoriti z njim.
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.
5 Jožef je sanjal sanje in te je povedal svojim bratom, oni pa so ga še bolj sovražili.
Joseph dreamt a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 Rekel jim je: »Poslušajte, prosim vas, te sanje, ki sem jih sanjal.
He said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamt:
7 Kajti, glejte, na polju smo vezali snope in glejte, moj snop je vstal in tudi stal pokončno. Glejte, vaši snopi so stali naokoli in se globoko priklanjali mojemu snopu.«
for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, and bowed down to my sheaf.”
8 Njegovi bratje so mu rekli: »Ali boš zares kraljeval nad nami? Ali boš zares imel gospostvo nad nami?« In še bolj so ga zasovražili zaradi njegovih sanj in zaradi njegovih besed.
His brothers asked him, “Will you indeed reign over us? Will you indeed have dominion over us?” They hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words.
9 Sanjal je še druge sanje in te povedal svojim bratom in rekel: »Glejte, še sem sanjal sanje. Glejte globoko so se mi priklanjali sonce in luna in enajst zvezd.«
He dreamt yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, “Behold, I have dreamt yet another dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.”
10 Te je povedal svojemu očetu in svojim bratom. Njegov oče pa ga je oštel in mu rekel: »Kaj so te sanje, ki si jih sanjal? Naj zares pridemo jaz, tvoja mati in tvoji bratje, da se ti priklonimo k zemlji?«
He told it to his father and to his brothers. His father rebuked him, and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamt? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to the earth before you?”
11 Njegovi bratje so mu zavidali, toda njegov oče je obeležil besede.
His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.
12 Njegovi bratje so odšli, da pasejo trop svojega očeta v Sihemu.
His brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
13 Izrael je rekel Jožefu: »Mar tvoji bratje ne pasejo tropa v Sihemu? Pridi in poslal te bom k njim.« Ta mu je rekel: »Tukaj sem.«
Israel said to Joseph, “Aren’t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” He said to him, “Here I am.”
14 Rekel mu je: »Pojdi, prosim te, poglej če je dobro s tvojimi brati in dobro s tropi in besedo mi ponovno prinesi nazaj.« Tako ga je poslal iz hebrónske doline in je prišel v Sihem.
He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 Našel pa ga je nek mož in glej, taval je po polju in človek ga je vprašal, rekoč: »Kaj iščeš?«
A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, “What are you looking for?”
16 Rekel je: »Iščem svoje brate. Povej mi, prosim te, kje pasejo svoje trope.«
He said, “I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock.”
17 Človek je rekel: »Odpravili so se od tod, kajti slišal sem jih reči: ›Pojdimo v Dotán.‹« Jožef je odšel za svojimi brati in jih našel v Dotánu.
The man said, “They have left here, for I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’” Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 Ko so ga od daleč zagledali, celo preden se jim je približal, so se zoper njega zarotili, da ga ubijejo.
They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
19 Drug drugemu so rekli: »Glejte, ta sanjač prihaja.
They said to one another, “Behold, this dreamer comes.
20 Pridimo torej, ubijmo ga in ga vrzimo v neko jamo in bomo rekli: ›Neka zla žival ga je požrla‹ in bomo videli, kaj bo nastalo iz njegovih sanj.«
Come now therefore, and let’s kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’ We will see what will become of his dreams.”
21 Ruben pa je to slišal in ga osvobodil iz njihovih rok in rekel: »Naj ga ne ubijemo mi.«
Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, “Let’s not take his life.”
22 Ruben jim je rekel: »Ne prelijmo krvi, temveč ga vrzimo v tole jamo, ki je v divjini in ne položimo roke nanj, « da bi ga lahko osvobodil iz njihovih rok, da ga ponovno izroči njegovemu očetu.
Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.
23 Pripetilo pa se je, ko je Jožef prišel k svojim bratom, da so Jožefa slekli iz njegovega plašča, njegovega plašča iz mnogih barv, ki je bil na njem
When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colours that was on him;
24 in ga prijeli ter vrgli v jamo. Jama pa je bila prazna, v njej ni bilo vode.
and they took him, and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty. There was no water in it.
25 Usedli so se, da jedo kruh in povzdignili so svoje oči, pogledali in glej, skupina Izmaelcev je prihajala iz Gileáda, s svojimi kamelami, nesoč dišave, balzam in miro, da to odnesejo dol v Egipt.
They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
26 Juda je rekel svojim bratom: »Kakšna korist je to, če ubijemo svojega brata in prikrijemo njegovo kri?
Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
27 Pridite in prodajmo ga Izmaelcem in naj naša roka ne bo nad njim, kajti on je naš brat in naše meso.« Njegovi bratje so bili zadovoljni.
Come, and let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers listened to him.
28 Potem so šli mimo midjánski trgovci in Jožefa so potegnili ter dvignili iz jame in Jožefa prodali Izmaelcem za dvajset koščkov srebra in ti so Jožefa pripeljali v Egipt.
Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. The merchants brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 Ruben pa se je vrnil k jami in glej, Jožefa ni bilo v jami. Raztrgal je svoja oblačila
Reuben returned to the pit, and saw that Joseph wasn’t in the pit; and he tore his clothes.
30 in se vrnil k svojim bratom ter rekel: »Otroka ni in kam naj grem jaz?«
He returned to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?”
31 Vzeli so Jožefov plašč, zaklali kozlička izmed koz in plašč pomočili v kri
They took Joseph’s tunic, and killed a male goat, and dipped the tunic in the blood.
32 in poslali so plašč iz mnogih barv in ga prinesli k svojemu očetu ter rekli: »To smo našli. Védi torej, ali je to plašč tvojega sina ali ne.«
They took the tunic of many colours, and they brought it to their father, and said, “We have found this. Examine it, now, and see if it is your son’s tunic or not.”
33 Prepoznal ga je in rekel: » To je plašč mojega sina. Zla žival ga je požrla. Jožef je brez dvoma raztrgan na koščke.«
He recognised it, and said, “It is my son’s tunic. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.”
34 Jakob je raztrgal svoja oblačila in na svoja ledja oblekel vrečevino in mnogo dni žaloval za svojim sinom.
Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
35 Vsi njegovi sinovi in vse njegove hčere so vstali, da ga potolažijo, toda odklonil je, da bi bil potolažen in rekel je: »Kajti žalujoč bom šel v grob k svojemu sinu.« Tako je njegov oče jokal za njim. (Sheol h7585)
All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” His father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Midjánci pa so ga prodali v Egipt k Potifárju, faraonovemu častniku in poveljniku straže.
The Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard.
