Postanak 37
1 A Jakov se bijaše nastanio u zemlji gdje je njegov otac boravio kao pridošlica - u zemlji kanaanskoj.
And Jacob dwelt in the land in which his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
2 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.
These [are] the generations of Jacob. Joseph [being] seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, and the lad [was] with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought to his father their evil report.
3 Izrael je volio Josipa više nego ijednog svoga sina jer je bio dijete njegove staračke dobi; i on mu napravi kićenu haljinu.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he [was] the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of [many] colors.
4 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.
And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
5 Jednom Josip usni san i kaza ga svojoj braći, a oni ga zbog toga još više zamrze.
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told [it] to his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
6 “Poslušajte”, reče im, “san što sam ga usnio!
And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
7 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.”
For behold, we [were] binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves stood around and made obeisance to my sheaf.
8 Njegova ga braća upitaše: “Kaniš li nad nama zakraljevati? Hoćeš li nam biti gospodar?” I još ga više zamrze zbog njegova pričanja o snovima.
And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? and they hated him yet the more for his dreams and for his words.
9 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!”
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more: and behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
10 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?”
And he told [it] to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said to him, what [is] this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11 I dok su braća od zavisti bila ljuta na nj, njegov je otac razmišljao o svemu.
And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
12 Jednom njegova braća odu čuvati očeva stada blizu Šekema.
And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
13 Izrael reče Josipu: “Tvoja braća čuvaju stada kod Šekema, pa hajde da te pošaljem k njima.” On mu odgovori: “Dobro, idem.”
And Israel said to Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed [the flock] in Shechem? Come, and I will send thee to them. And he said to him, Here [am I].
14 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.
And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it is well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 Neki čovjek nađe ga gdje luta poljem pa ga upita: “Što tražiš?”
And a certain man found him, and behold [he was] wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 “Tražim braću”, odgovori. “Možeš li mi kazati gdje čuvaju stada?”
And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed [their flocks].
17 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.
And the man said, They have departed hence: for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren and found them in Dothan.
18 Oni ga opaze izdaleka; prije nego im se približio, počnu se dogovarati da ga ubiju.
And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near to them, they conspired against him to slay him.
19 I jedan drugom reče: “Eno stiže onaj sanjar!
And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer is coming.
20 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!”
Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit; and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him; and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
21 Ali kad je to čuo Ruben, pokuša da ga izbavi iz njihovih šaka. I reče: “Nemojmo oduzimati njegova života!
And Reuben heard [it], and he delivered him from their hands: and said, Let us not kill him.
22 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.
And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood; cast him into this pit that [is] in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might deliver him from their hands, to bring him back to his father.
23 Ali kad je Josip stigao braći, oni s Josipa svuku njegovu haljinu, haljinu kićenu što je bila na njemu;
And it came to pass when Joseph had come to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, [his] coat of [many] colors that [was] on him.
24 pograbe ga i bace u čatrnju. Čatrnja je bila prazna; nije bilo u njoj vode.
And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit [was] empty; [there was] no water in it.
25 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.
And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery, and balm, and myrrh, going to carry [them] down to Egypt.
26 Tada reče Juda svojoj braći: “Što ćemo postići ako ubijemo svog brata a krv njegovu sakrijemo?
And Judah said to his brethren, What profit [is it] if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood.
27 Hajde da ga prodamo Jišmaelcima; ali ne dižimo na nj ruke. TÓa on je naš brat, naše meso.” Braća ga poslušaju.
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 brethren were content.
28 Uto naiđu ljudi, midjanski trgovci. Braća izvuku Josipa iz čatrnje i prodaju ga za dvadeset srebrnika Jišmaelcima, a oni Josipa dovedu u Egipat.
Then there passed by Midianites, merchants; and they drew and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty [pieces] of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 Kad se Ruben vratio k čatrnji i vidio da Josipa nema u čatrnji, razdere svoju odjeću.
And Reuben returned to the pit; and behold, Joseph [was] not in the pit: and he rent his clothes.
30 A kad se vratio svojoj braći, povika: “Dječaka nema! Kamo ću ja sad?”
And he returned to his brethren, and said, The child [is] not: and I, whither shall I go?
31 A oni uzmu Josipovu haljinu, zakolju jedno kozle i haljinu zamoče u krv.
And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood:
32 Kićenu haljinu otpreme ocu i poruče: “Ovo smo našli; gledaj je li ovo haljina tvoga sina ili nije.”
And they sent the coat of [many] colors, and they brought [it] to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it [is] thy son's coat or not.
33 Prepozna je on pa reče: “Haljina je moga sina! Divlja ga je zvijer rastrgla! Na komade je Josip rastrgan!”
And he knew it, and said, [It is] my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him: Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
34 I razdere Jakov svoje haljine, stavi pokorničku kostrijet oko bokova i dugo vremena oplakivaše svoga sina.
And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
35 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)
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 into the grave to my son mourning: Thus his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 A Midjanci ga prodaju u Egipat Potifaru, dvoraninu faraonovu, zapovjedniku straže.
And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, [and] captain of the guard.
