Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojourning, in the land of Canaan.
A Jakov se bijaše nastanio u zemlji gdje je njegov otac boravio kao pridošlica - u zemlji kanaanskoj.
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and Joseph brought the evil report of them to their father.
Evo nasljedstva Jakovljeva. Kao mladić, u dobi od sedamnaest godina, Josip je čuvao stada sa svojom braćom, sinovima Bilhe i Zilpe, koje bijahu žene njegova oca. Josip je ocu svome donosio zle glasove o njima.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made for him a coat of many colors.
Izrael je volio Josipa više nego ijednog svoga sina jer je bio dijete njegove staračke dobi; i on mu napravi kićenu haljinu.
4 And his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers. And they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
Kako njegova braća opaze da ga njihov otac voli više od svih drugih svojih sinova, zamrze ga toliko da mu nisu mogli ni prijaznu riječ progovoriti.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him yet the more.
Jednom Josip usni san i kaza ga svojoj braći, a oni ga zbog toga još više zamrze.
6 And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed.
“Poslušajte”, reče im, “san što sam ga usnio!
7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright. And, behold, your sheaves came round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
Pomislite! Vezali smo nasred polja snopove, kadli se najednom moj snop uspravi i stade uzgor. Uto se vaši snopovi okupe okolo i duboko se poklone mom snopu.”
8 And his brothers said to him, Shall thou indeed reign over us? Or shall thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
Njegova ga braća upitaše: “Kaniš li nad nama zakraljevati? Hoćeš li nam biti gospodar?” I još ga više zamrze zbog njegova pričanja o snovima.
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers. And said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream again. And, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Usni on još jedan san te ga ispriča svojoj braći: “Još sam jedan san usnuo. Pazite! Sunce, mjesec i jedanaest zvijezda duboko mi se klanjahu!”
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that thou have dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brothers indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
Kad je to ispričao svome ocu, ukori ga otac i reče mu: “Što znači taj san što si ga usnuo? Zar ćemo doći ja, tvoja majka i tvoja braća pa ti se do zemlje klanjati?”
11 And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the saying in mind.
I dok su braća od zavisti bila ljuta na nj, njegov je otac razmišljao o svemu.
12 And his brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
Jednom njegova braća odu čuvati očeva stada blizu Šekema.
13 And Israel said to Joseph, Are not thy brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send thee to them. And he said to him, Here I am.
Izrael reče Josipu: “Tvoja braća čuvaju stada kod Šekema, pa hajde da te pošaljem k njima.” On mu odgovori: “Dobro, idem.”
14 And he said to him, Go now, see whether it is well with thy 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.
Potom će mu otac: “Hajde i vidi kako su ti braća i stoka pa mi javi.” Tako ga otpremi iz doline Hebrona, i on stigne u Šekem.
15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, What do thou seek?
Neki čovjek nađe ga gdje luta poljem pa ga upita: “Što tražiš?”
16 And he said, I am seeking my brothers. Tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding.
“Tražim braću”, odgovori. “Možeš li mi kazati gdje čuvaju stada?”
17 And the man said, They are departed from here, for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
A čovjek reče: “Odavde su otišli. Čuo sam ih gdje govore: 'Hajdemo u Dotan.'” Tako Josip ode za svojom braćom i nađe ih u Dotanu.
18 And they saw him afar off. And before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
Oni ga opaze izdaleka; prije nego im se približio, počnu se dogovarati da ga ubiju.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer comes.
I jedan drugom reče: “Eno stiže onaj sanjar!
20 Come now therefore, and let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits. And we will say, An evil beast has devoured him. And we shall see what will become of his dreams.
Hajde da ga sad ubijemo i bacimo u kakvu čatrnju! Možemo kazati da ga je proždrla divlja zvijer. Vidjet ćemo što će biti od njegovih snova!”
21 And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, Let us not take his life.
Ali kad je to čuo Ruben, pokuša da ga izbavi iz njihovih šaka. I reče: “Nemojmo oduzimati njegova života!
22 And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood. Cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him, that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.
Ne prolijevajte krvi” - dalje je govorio Ruben. “Bacite ga u čatrnju u pustari; ali ne dižite na nj ruke!” Htio ga je tako izbaviti iz njihovih šaka i odvesti ocu.
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him,
Ali kad je Josip stigao braći, oni s Josipa svuku njegovu haljinu, haljinu kićenu što je bila na njemu;
24 and they took him, and cast him into the pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
pograbe ga i bace u čatrnju. Čatrnja je bila prazna; nije bilo u njoj vode.
25 And they sat down to eat bread. And they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
Potom sjednu da ručaju. Kako podignu svoje oči, opaze povorku Jišmaelaca gdje dolazi iz Gileada. Deve su im nosile mirodije, balzam i mirisavu smolu da ih preprodaju u Egipat.
26 And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
Tada reče Juda svojoj braći: “Što ćemo postići ako ubijemo svog brata a krv njegovu sakrijemo?
27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers hearkened to him.
Hajde da ga prodamo Jišmaelcima; ali ne dižimo na nj ruke. TÓa on je naš brat, naše meso.” Braća ga poslušaju.
28 And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen, and they drew and lifted Joseph up out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Uto naiđu ljudi, midjanski trgovci. Braća izvuku Josipa iz čatrnje i prodaju ga za dvadeset srebrnika Jišmaelcima, a oni Josipa dovedu u Egipat.
29 And Reuben returned to the pit, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit. And he tore his clothes,
Kad se Ruben vratio k čatrnji i vidio da Josipa nema u čatrnji, razdere svoju odjeću.
30 and he returned to his brothers, and said, The child is not, and I, where shall I go?
A kad se vratio svojoj braći, povika: “Dječaka nema! Kamo ću ja sad?”
31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.
A oni uzmu Josipovu haljinu, zakolju jedno kozle i haljinu zamoče u krv.
32 And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, We have found this. Know now whether it is thy son's coat or not.
Kićenu haljinu otpreme ocu i poruče: “Ovo smo našli; gledaj je li ovo haljina tvoga sina ili nije.”
33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat. An evil beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.
Prepozna je on pa reče: “Haljina je moga sina! Divlja ga je zvijer rastrgla! Na komade je Josip rastrgan!”
34 And Jacob tore his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
I razdere Jakov svoje haljine, stavi pokorničku kostrijet oko bokova i dugo vremena oplakivaše svoga sina.
35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted, and he said, For I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning. And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
Svi su ga njegovi sinovi i sve njegove kćeri nastojali utješiti, ali se on ne mogaše utješiti. Govorio je: “Ne, sići ću k svome sinu u Šeol tugujući!” Tako ga je oplakivao njegov otac. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard.
A Midjanci ga prodaju u Egipat Potifaru, dvoraninu faraonovu, zapovjedniku straže.
