1 Мојсијева 37
1 А Јаков живеше у земљи где му је отац био дошљак, у земљи хананској.
Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.
2 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.
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, tended the flock with his brothers; he was an assistant to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report about them to their father.
3 А Израиљ љубљаше Јосифа највећма измећу свих синова својих, јер му се родио под старост; и начини му шарену хаљину.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he had been born to him in his old age. And he made a long ornamented robe for him.
4 А браћа видећи где га отац љуби највећма између све браће његове, стадоше мрзети на њ тако да му не могаху лепу реч проговорити.
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak a kind word to him.
5 Уз то усни Јосиф сан и приповеди браћи својој, те они још већма омрзну на њ.
Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 Јер им рече: Да чујете сан што сам снио:
He said to them, "Please listen to this dream I had:
7 Везасмо снопље у пољу, па мој сноп уста и исправи се, а ваши снопови иђаху унаоколо и клањаху се снопу мом.
And look, we were binding sheaves in the field, and look, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And look, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf."
8 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.
Then his brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed rule over us?" So they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he said.
9 После опет усни други сан, и приповеди браћи својој говорећи: Усних опет сан, а то се сунце и месец и једанаест звезда клањаху мени.
And he had another dream, and told it to his father and to his brothers, and said, "Look, I had yet another dream, and look, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me."
10 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?
When he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you had? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come and bow down to the ground in front of you?"
11 И завиђаху му браћа; али отац његов чуваше ове речи.
His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept thinking about the matter.
12 А кад браћа његова отидоше да пасу стоку оца свог код Сихема,
Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.
13 Рече Израиљ Јосифу: Не пасу ли браћа твоја стоку код Сихема? Хајде да те пошаљем к њима. А он рече: Ево ме.
And Israel said to Joseph, "Aren't your brothers pasturing the flock near Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I am ready."
14 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.
So he said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and report back to me." So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 И човек један нађе га а он лута по пољу; те га запита говорећи: Шта тражиш?
And a man found him, and look, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
16 А он рече: Тражим браћу своју; кажи ми, молим те, где су са стоком?
He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock."
17 А човек рече: Отишли су одавде, јер чух где рекоше: Хајдемо у Дотаим. И отиде Јосиф за браћом својом, и нађе их у Дотаиму.
The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 А они га угледаше из далека; и док још не дође близу њих, стадоше се договарати да га убију,
Now they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they plotted against him to kill him.
19 И рекоше међу собом: Гле, ево оног што сне сања.
And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming.
20 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.
Come now, and let's kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns, and we will say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we will see what will become of his dreams."
21 Али Рувим кад чу то, избави га из руку њихових рекавши: Немојте да га убијемо.
But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let's not take his life."
22 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.
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 hands, to restore him to his father.
23 И кад Јосиф дође к браћи својој, свукоше с њега хаљину његову, хаљину шарену, коју имаше на себи.
It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing.
24 И ухвативши га бацише га у јаму; а јама беше празна, не беше воде у њој.
And they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now the pit was empty. There was no water in it.)
25 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.
Then they sat down to eat a meal. And they looked up, and look, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh on their way to carry them down to Egypt.
26 И рече Јуда браћи својој: Каква ће бити корист што ћемо убити брата свог и затајити крв његову?
Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
27 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.
Come, and let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay a hand on him, for he is our brother, our flesh." And his brothers agreed.
28 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.
So the Midianites merchants passed by, and they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the cistern, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt.
29 А кад се Рувим врати к јами, а то нема Јосифа у јами; тада раздре хаљине своје,
And Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph wasn't in the cistern; and he tore his clothes.
30 Па се врати к браћи својој, и рече: Нема детета; а ја куда ћу?
He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone. Now, what am I to do?"
31 Тада узеше хаљину Јосифову, и заклавши јаре замочише хаљину у крв,
They took Joseph's robe and killed a male goat and dipped the robe in the blood.
32 Па онда послаше шарену хаљину оцу његовом поручивши: Нађосмо ову хаљину, види је ли хаљина сина твог или није.
And they sent the long ornamented robe and they brought it to their father, and said, "We found this. Please examine it to see whether it is your son's robe or not."
33 А он је позна и рече: Сина је мог хаљина; љута га је зверка изјела; Јосиф је доиста раскинут.
And he recognized it, and said, "It is my son's robe. A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."
34 И раздре Јаков хаљине своје, и веза кострет око себе, и тужаше за сином својим дуго времена.
Then Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
35 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)
All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Indeed, I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning." And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 А Мадијани продадоше га у Мисир Петефрију, дворанину Фараоновом, заповеднику стражарском.
Now the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
