Genesis 37
1 Now Jacob lived in the land of Canaan, where his father sojourned.
А Јаков живеше у земљи где му је отац био дошљак, у земљи хананској.
2 And these are his generations. Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers, when he was still a boy. And he was with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, the wives of his father. And he accused his brothers to their father of a most sinful crime.
Ово су догађаји Јаковљеви. Јосиф кад беше момак од седамнаест година, пасаше стоку с браћом својом, коју родише Вала и Зелфа жене оца његовог; и доношаше Јосиф зле гласове о њима оцу свом.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had conceived him in his old age. And he made him a tunic, woven of many colors.
А Израиљ љубљаше Јосифа највећма измећу свих синова својих, јер му се родио под старост; и начини му шарену хаљину.
4 Then his brothers, seeing that he was loved by his father more than all his other sons, hated him, and they were not able to say anything peacefully to him.
А браћа видећи где га отац љуби највећма између све браће његове, стадоше мрзети на њ тако да му не могаху лепу реч проговорити.
5 Then it also happened that he recounted the vision of a dream to his brothers, for which reason a greater hatred began to be nurtured.
Уз то усни Јосиф сан и приповеди браћи својој, те они још већма омрзну на њ.
6 And he said to them, “Listen to my dream that I saw.
Јер им рече: Да чујете сан што сам снио:
7 I thought we were binding sheaves in the field. And my sheaf seemed to rise up and stand, and your sheaves, standing in a circle, reverenced my sheaf.”
Везасмо снопље у пољу, па мој сноп уста и исправи се, а ваши снопови иђаху унаоколо и клањаху се снопу мом.
8 His brothers responded: “Would you be our king? Or will we be subject to your dominion?” Therefore, this matter of his dreams and words provided kindling to their envy and hatred.
Тада му браћа рекоше: Да нећеш још бити цар над нама и заповедати нам? Стога још већма стадоше мрзети на њ ради снова његових и ради речи његових.
9 Likewise, he saw another dream, which he explained to his brothers, saying, “I saw by a dream, as if the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars were reverencing me.”
После опет усни други сан, и приповеди браћи својој говорећи: Усних опет сан, а то се сунце и месец и једанаест звезда клањаху мени.
10 And when he had related this to his father and brothers, his father rebuked him, and he said: “What does it mean to you, this dream that you have seen? Should I, and your mother, and your brothers reverence you upon the earth?”
А приповеди и оцу свом и браћи својој; али га отац прекори и рече му: Какав је то сан што си снио? Еда ли ћемо доћи ја и мати твоја и браћа твоја да се клањамо теби до земље?
11 Therefore, his brothers were envious of him. Yet truly, his father considered the matter silently.
И завиђаху му браћа; али отац његов чуваше ове речи.
12 And while his brothers were lodging at Shechem, pasturing their father’s flocks,
А кад браћа његова отидоше да пасу стоку оца свог код Сихема,
13 Israel said to him: “Your brothers are pasturing the sheep at Shechem. Come, I will send you to them.” And when he answered,
Рече Израиљ Јосифу: Не пасу ли браћа твоја стоку код Сихема? Хајде да те пошаљем к њима. А он рече: Ево ме.
14 “I am ready,” he said to him, “Go, and see if everything is prospering with your brothers and the cattle, and report to me what is happening.” So, having been sent from the valley of Hebron, he arrived at Shechem.
А он му рече: Иди, види како су браћа твоја и како је стока, па дођи да ми јавиш. И оправи га из долине хевронске, и он отиде пут Сихема.
15 And a man found him wandering in a field, and he asked him what he was seeking.
И човек један нађе га а он лута по пољу; те га запита говорећи: Шта тражиш?
16 So he responded: “I seek my brothers. Tell me where they pasture the flocks.”
А он рече: Тражим браћу своју; кажи ми, молим те, где су са стоком?
17 And the man said to him: “They have withdrawn from this place. But I heard them saying, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” Therefore, Joseph continued on after his brothers, and he found them at Dothan.
А човек рече: Отишли су одавде, јер чух где рекоше: Хајдемо у Дотаим. И отиде Јосиф за браћом својом, и нађе их у Дотаиму.
18 And, when they had seen him from afar, before he approached them, they decided to kill him.
А они га угледаше из далека; и док још не дође близу њих, стадоше се договарати да га убију,
19 And they said one to another: “Behold, the dreamer approaches.
И рекоше међу собом: Гле, ево оног што сне сања.
20 Come, let us kill him and cast him into the old cistern. And let us say: ‘an evil wild beast has devoured him.’ And then it will become apparent what his dreams will do for him.”
Хајде сада да га убијемо и да га бацимо у коју од ових јама, па ћемо казати: Љута га је зверка изјела. Онда ћемо видети шта ће бити од његових снова.
21 But Reuben, on hearing this, strove to free him from their hands, and he said:
Али Рувим кад чу то, избави га из руку њихових рекавши: Немојте да га убијемо.
22 “Do not take away his life, nor shed blood. But throw him into this cistern, which is in the wilderness, and so keep your hands harmless.” But he said this, wanting to rescue him from their hands, so as to return him to his father.
И још им рече Рувим: Немојте крв проливати; баците га у ову јаму у пустињи, а не дижите руке на њ. А он га хтеде избавити из руку њихових и одвести к оцу.
23 And so, as soon as he came to his brothers, they very quickly stripped him of his tunic, which was ankle-length and woven of many colors,
И кад Јосиф дође к браћи својој, свукоше с њега хаљину његову, хаљину шарену, коју имаше на себи.
24 and they cast him into an old cistern, which held no water.
И ухвативши га бацише га у јаму; а јама беше празна, не беше воде у њој.
25 And sitting down to eat bread, they saw some Ishmaelites, travelers coming from Gilead, with their camels, carrying spices, and resin, and oil of myrrh into Egypt.
После седоше да једу. И подигавши очи угледаше, а то гомила Исмаиљаца иђаше од Галада с камилама натовареним мирисавог корења и тамјана и смирне, те ношаху у Мисир.
26 Therefore, Judah said to his brothers: “What will it profit us, if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
И рече Јуда браћи својој: Каква ће бити корист што ћемо убити брата свог и затајити крв његову?
27 It is better that he be sold to the Ishmaelites, and then our hands will not be defiled. For he is our brother and our flesh.” His brothers agreed to his words.
Хајде да га продамо овим Исмаиљцима па да не дижемо руке своје на њ, јер нам је брат, наше је тело. И послушаше га браћа његова.
28 And when the Midianite merchants were passing by, they drew him from the cistern, and they sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And these led him into Egypt.
Па кад трговци мадијански беху поред њих, они извукоше и извадише Јосифа из јаме, и продадоше Јосифа Исмаиљцима за двадесет сребрника; и они одведоше Јосифа у Мисир.
29 And Reuben, returning to the cistern, did not find the boy.
А кад се Рувим врати к јами, а то нема Јосифа у јами; тада раздре хаљине своје,
30 And rending his garments, he went to his brothers and said, “The boy is not present, and so where shall I go?”
Па се врати к браћи својој, и рече: Нема детета; а ја куда ћу?
31 Then they took his tunic, and they dipped it in the blood of a young goat, which they had killed,
Тада узеше хаљину Јосифову, и заклавши јаре замочише хаљину у крв,
32 sending those who carried it to their father, and they said: “We found this. See whether it is the tunic of your son or not.”
Па онда послаше шарену хаљину оцу његовом поручивши: Нађосмо ову хаљину, види је ли хаљина сина твог или није.
33 And when the father acknowledged it, he said: “It is the tunic of my son. An evil wild beast has eaten him; a beast has devoured Joseph.”
А он је позна и рече: Сина је мог хаљина; љута га је зверка изјела; Јосиф је доиста раскинут.
34 And tearing his garments, he was clothed in haircloth, mourning his son for a long time.
И раздре Јаков хаљине своје, и веза кострет око себе, и тужаше за сином својим дуго времена.
35 Then, when all of his sons gathered together to ease their father’s sorrow, he was not willing to accept consolation, but he said: “I will descend in mourning to my son in the underworld.” And while he persevered in weeping, (Sheol h7585)
И сви синови његови и све кћери његове устадоше око њега тешећи га, али се он не даде утешити, него говораше: С тугом ћу у гроб лећи за сином својим. Па и његов отац плакаше за њим. (Sheol h7585)
36 the Midianites in Egypt sold Joseph to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, instructor of the soldiers.
А Мадијани продадоше га у Мисир Петефрију, дворанину Фараоновом, заповеднику стражарском.
