Genesis 41
1 After two years, Pharaoh saw a dream. He thought himself to be standing above a river,
Poslije dvije godine usnu faraon da stoji pokraj Nila.
2 from which ascended seven cows, exceedingly beautiful and stout. And they pastured in marshy places.
Iz Nila iziđe sedam krava, lijepih i debelih; pasle su po šašu.
3 Likewise, another seven emerged from the river, filthy and thoroughly emaciated. And they pastured on the same bank of the river, in green places.
Ali odmah poslije njih iz Nila iziđe sedam drugih krava, ružnih i mršavih, te stanu uz one krave na obali Nila.
4 And they devoured those whose appearance and condition of body was so wonderful. Pharaoh, having been awakened,
Ružne i mršave krave požderu ono sedam lijepih i pretilih, i uto se faraon probudi.
5 slept again, and he saw another dream. Seven ears of grain sprung up on one stalk, full and well-formed.
Opet zaspi te usnu drugi san: sedam punih i jedrih klasova izraste na jednoj stabljici.
6 Likewise, other ears of grain, of the same number, rose up, thin and struck with blight,
Ali, eto, poslije njih uzraste sedam klasova šturih, istočnjakom opaljenih.
7 devouring all the beauty of the first. Pharaoh, when he awakened after his rest,
Šturi klasovi proždru sedam jedrih i punih klasova. I faraon se probudi, i gle: bio je to san.
8 and when morning arrived, being terrified with fear, sent to all the interpreters of Egypt and to all of the wise men. And when they were summoned, he explained to them his dream; but there was no one who could interpret it.
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 at last the chief cupbearer, remembering, said, “I confess my sin.
Onda progovori faraonov glavni peharnik: “Moram danas spomenuti jedan svoj propust.
10 The king, being angry with his servants, ordered me and the chief miller of grain to be forced into the prison of the leader of the military.
Jednom, kad se faraon razljutio na svoje službenike, mene i glavnog pekara stavio je u zatvor u zgradi glavnog upravitelja.
11 There, in one night, both of us saw a dream presaging the future.
Usnusmo san iste noći, i ja i on, ali je svaki od nas usnuo san drugog značenja.
12 In that place, there was a Hebrew, a servant of the same commander of the military, to whom we explained our dreams.
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 Whatever we heard was proven afterwards by the event of the matter. For I was restored to my office, and he was suspended on a cross.”
Kako nam ih je protumačio, tako nam se i dogodilo: mene vratiše na moje mjesto, a onoga objesiše.”
14 Immediately, by the king’s authority, Joseph was led out of prison, and they shaved him. And changing his apparel, they presented him to him.
Faraon odmah pošalje po Josipa; izvuku ga brže-bolje iz tamnice; ošišaju mu kosu, obuku novo odijelo i on stupi pred faraona.
15 And he said to him, “I have seen dreams, and there is no one who can unfold them. I have heard that you are very wise at interpreting these.”
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 responded, “Apart from me, God will respond favorably to Pharaoh.”
“Ništa ja ne mogu”, odgovori Josip faraonu, “nego će Bog dati pravi odgovor faraonu.”
17 Therefore, Pharaoh explained what he had seen: “I thought myself to be standing on the bank of a river,
Onda je faraon pripovjedao Josipu: “U svom snu stojim na obali Nila.
18 and seven cows climbed up from the river, exceedingly beautiful and full of flesh. And they grazed in a pasture of a marshy greenery.
I gle! Iz Nila iziđe sedam debelih i lijepih krava. Pasle su po šašu.
19 And behold, there followed after these, another seven cows, with such deformity and emaciation as I had never seen in the land of Egypt.
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 These devoured and consumed the first,
I sedam mršavih i ružnih krava proždru prvih sedam debelih krava.
21 giving no indication of being full. But they remained in the same state of emaciation and squalor. Awakening, but being weighed down into sleep again,
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 a dream. Seven ears of grain sprang up on one stalk, full and very beautiful.
Zatim sam u snu vidio kako na jednoj stabljici uzraste sedam punih i lijepih klasova.
23 Likewise, another seven, thin and struck with blight, rose up from the stalk.
Ali poslije njih uzraste sedam klasova zgrčenih, šturih, istočnjakom opaljenih.
24 And they devoured the beauty of the first. I explained this dream to the interpreters, and there is no one who can unfold it.”
I šturi klasovi proždru sedam jedrih klasova. Kazao sam ovo i vračarima, ali nema nikoga da mi razjasni.”
25 Joseph responded: “The dream of the king is one. What God will do, he has revealed to Pharaoh.
Onda Josip reče faraonu: “Faraonov je san samo jedan: Bog javlja faraonu što kani učiniti.
26 The seven beautiful cows, and the seven full ears of grain, are seven years of abundance. And so the force of the dreams is understood to be the same.
Sedam lijepih krava, to je sedam godina; sedam lijepih klasova opet je sedam godina. Tako je samo jedan san.
27 Likewise, the seven thin and emaciated cows, which ascended after them, and the seven thin ears of grain, which were struck with the burning wind, are seven approaching years of famine.
Sedam mršavih i ružnih krava poslije njih, a tako i sedam praznih, istočnjakom opaljenih klasova, označuje sedam gladnih godina.
28 These will be fulfilled in this order.
To je ono što sam već faraonu rekao: Bog objavljuje faraonu što kani učiniti.
29 Behold, there will arrive seven years of great fertility throughout the entire land of Egypt.
Dolazi, evo, sedam godina velikog obilja svoj zemlji egipatskoj.
30 After this, there will follow another seven years, of such great barrenness that all the former abundance will be delivered into oblivion. For the famine will consume all the land,
A poslije njih nastat će sedam gladnih godina, kada će se zaboraviti sve obilje u zemlji egipatskoj.
31 and the greatness of this destitution will cause the greatness of the abundance to be lost.
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 Now, as to what you saw the second time, it is a dream pertaining to the same thing. It is an indication of its firmness, because the word of God shall be done, and it shall be completed swiftly.
A što se faraonov san ponovio, znači da se Bog na to zaista odlučio i da će to uskoro provesti.
33 Now therefore, let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and place him over the land of Egypt,
Zato neka faraon izabere sposobna i mudra čovjeka te ga postavi nad zemljom egipatskom.
34 so that he may appoint overseers throughout all the regions. And let a fifth part of the fruits, throughout the seven fertile 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 that now have already begun to occur, be gathered into storehouses. And let all the grain be stored away, under the power of Pharaoh, and let it be kept in the cities.
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 And let it be prepared for the future famine of seven years, which will oppress Egypt, and then the land will not be consumed by destitution.”
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 counsel pleased Pharaoh and all his ministers.
Svidje se odgovor faraonu i svim njegovim službenicima.
38 And he said to them, “Would we be able to find another such man, who is full of 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 Therefore, he said to Joseph: “Because God has revealed to you all that you have said, would I be able to find anyone wiser and as much like you?
A onda faraon reče Josipu: “Otkako je sve to Bog tebi otkrio, nikoga nema sposobna i mudra kao što si ti.
40 You will be over my house, and to the authority of your mouth, all the people will show obedience. Only in one way, in the throne of the kingdom, will I go before you.”
Ti ćeš biti upravitelj moga dvora: sav će se moj narod pokoravati tvojim naredbama. Jedino prijestoljem ja ću biti veći od tebe.
41 And again, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have appointed you over the entire land of Egypt.”
Postavljam te, evo,” reče faraon Josipu, “nad svom zemljom egipatskom.”
42 And he took the ring from his own hand, and he gave it into his hand. And he clothed him with a robe of fine linen, and he placed a necklace of gold around 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 And he caused him to ascend upon his second swift chariot, with the herald proclaiming that everyone should bend their knee before him, and that they should know that he was governor over the entire 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 Likewise, the king said to Joseph: “I am Pharaoh: apart from your authority, no one will move hand or 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 And he changed his name and called him, in the Egyptian tongue: ‘Savior of the world.’ And he gave him as a wife, Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis. And so Joseph went out into 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 (Now he was thirty years old when he stood in the sight of king Pharaoh.) And he traveled throughout the regions 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 And the fertility of the seven years arrived. And when the grain fields were reduced to sheaves, these were gathered into the storehouses of Egypt.
Za sedam rodnih godina zemlja je rađala u obilju;
48 And now all the abundance of grain was stored away in every 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 And there was such a great abundance of wheat that it was comparable to the sands of the sea, and its bounty exceeded all measure.
Tako Josip nagomila mnogo žita, kao pijeska u moru, pa ga prestade i mjeriti jer mu mjere ne bijaše.
50 Then, before the famine arrived, Joseph had two sons born, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis, bore for him.
Dok još ne nasta gladna godina, Josip imade dva sina koje mu rodi Asenata, kći Poti-Fere, svećenika u Onu.
51 And he called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has caused me to forget all my labors and the house of my father.”
Prvorođencu Josip nadjenu ime Manaše, “jer Bog je”, reče, “dao te sam zaboravio svoje teškoće i svoj očinski dom.”
52 Likewise, he named the second Ephraim, saying, “God has caused me to increase in the land of my poverty.”
Drugomu nadjenu ime Efrajim, “jer Bog me”, reče, “učinio rodnim u zemlji moje nevolje.”
53 And so, when the seven years of fertility that occurred in Egypt had passed,
Sedam godina obilja koje je uživala zemlja egipatska dođe kraju,
54 the seven years of destitution, which Joseph had predicted, began to arrive. And the famine prevailed throughout the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt.
a primače se sedam gladnih godina, kako je Josip prorekao. U svim zemljama bijaše glad, a u svoj zemlji egipatskoj bijaše kruha.
55 And being hungry, the people cried out to Pharaoh, asking for provisions. And he said to them: “Go to Joseph. And do whatever he will tell you.”
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 Then the famine increased daily in all the land. And Joseph opened all of the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. For the famine had oppressed them also.
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 And all the provinces came to Egypt, to buy food and to temper the misfortune of their destitution.
Sav je svijet išao u Egipat k Josipu da kupuje žita, jer je strašna glad vladala po svem svijetu.
