Postanak 41
1 Poslije dvije godine usnu faraon da stoji pokraj Nila.
Now after two years had gone by, Pharaoh had a dream; and in his dream he was by the side of the Nile;
2 Iz Nila iziđe sedam krava, lijepih i debelih; pasle su po šašu.
And out of the Nile came seven cows, good-looking and fat, and their food was the river-grass.
3 Ali odmah poslije njih iz Nila iziđe sedam drugih krava, ružnih i mršavih, te stanu uz one krave na obali Nila.
And after them seven other cows came out of the Nile, poor-looking and thin; and they were by the side of the other cows.
4 Ružne i mršave krave požderu ono sedam lijepih i pretilih, i uto se faraon probudi.
And the seven thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows. Then Pharaoh came out of his sleep.
5 Opet zaspi te usnu drugi san: sedam punih i jedrih klasova izraste na jednoj stabljici.
But he went to sleep again and had a second dream, in which he saw seven heads of grain, full and good, all on one stem.
6 Ali, eto, poslije njih uzraste sedam klasova šturih, istočnjakom opaljenih.
And after them came up seven other heads, thin and wasted by the east wind.
7 Šturi klasovi proždru sedam jedrih i punih klasova. I faraon se probudi, i gle: bio je to san.
And the seven thin heads made a meal of the good heads. And when Pharaoh was awake he saw it was a dream.
8 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.
And in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent for all the wise men of Egypt and all the holy men, and put his dream before them, but no one was able to give him the sense of it.
9 Onda progovori faraonov glavni peharnik: “Moram danas spomenuti jedan svoj propust.
Then the chief wine-servant said to Pharaoh, The memory of my sin comes back to me now;
10 Jednom, kad se faraon razljutio na svoje službenike, mene i glavnog pekara stavio je u zatvor u zgradi glavnog upravitelja.
Pharaoh had been angry with his servants, and had put me in prison in the house of the captain of the army, together with the chief bread-maker;
11 Usnusmo san iste noći, i ja i on, ali je svaki od nas usnuo san drugog značenja.
And we had a dream on the same night, the two of us, and the dreams had a special sense.
12 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.
And there was with us a young Hebrew, the captain's servant, and when we put our dreams before him, he gave us the sense of them.
13 Kako nam ih je protumačio, tako nam se i dogodilo: mene vratiše na moje mjesto, a onoga objesiše.”
And it came about as he said: I was put back in my place, and the bread-maker was put to death by hanging.
14 Faraon odmah pošalje po Josipa; izvuku ga brže-bolje iz tamnice; ošišaju mu kosu, obuku novo odijelo i on stupi pred faraona.
Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and they took him quickly out of prison; and when his hair had been cut and his dress changed, he came before Pharaoh.
15 Onda faraon reče Josipu: “Usnuo sam san, a nitko ga ne može protumačiti. Čuo sam o tebi da možeš protumačiti san čim ga čuješ.”
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have had a dream, and no one is able to give me the sense of it; now it has come to my ears that you are able to give the sense of a dream when it is put before you.
16 “Ništa ja ne mogu”, odgovori Josip faraonu, “nego će Bog dati pravi odgovor faraonu.”
Then Joseph said, Without God there will be no answer of peace for Pharaoh.
17 Onda je faraon pripovjedao Josipu: “U svom snu stojim na obali Nila.
Then Pharaoh said, In my dream I was by the side of the Nile:
18 I gle! Iz Nila iziđe sedam debelih i lijepih krava. Pasle su po šašu.
And out of the Nile came seven cows, fat and good-looking, and their food was the river-grass;
19 Poslije njih izađe drugih sedam krava. Bile su mršave, vrlo ružne i koštunjave. Još nikad ne vidjeh onako ružnih krava u svoj zemlji egipatskoj!
Then after them came seven other cows, very thin and poor-looking, worse than any I ever saw in the land of Egypt;
20 I sedam mršavih i ružnih krava proždru prvih sedam debelih krava.
And the thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows who came up first;
21 Pa iako su ih progutale, nije se vidjelo da im je što u trbuhu: bile su ružne kao i prije. Uto se probudim.
And even with the fat cows inside them they seemed as bad as before. And so I came out of my sleep.
22 Zatim sam u snu vidio kako na jednoj stabljici uzraste sedam punih i lijepih klasova.
And again in a dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, coming up on one stem:
23 Ali poslije njih uzraste sedam klasova zgrčenih, šturih, istočnjakom opaljenih.
And then I saw seven other heads, dry, thin, and wasted by the east wind, coming up after them:
24 I šturi klasovi proždru sedam jedrih klasova. Kazao sam ovo i vračarima, ali nema nikoga da mi razjasni.”
And the seven thin heads made a meal of the seven good heads; and I put this dream before the wise men, but not one of them was able to give me the sense of it.
25 Onda Josip reče faraonu: “Faraonov je san samo jedan: Bog javlja faraonu što kani učiniti.
Then Joseph said, These two dreams have the same sense: God has made clear to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 Sedam lijepih krava, to je sedam godina; sedam lijepih klasova opet je sedam godina. Tako je samo jedan san.
The seven fat cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years: the two have the same sense.
27 Sedam mršavih i ružnih krava poslije njih, a tako i sedam praznih, istočnjakom opaljenih klasova, označuje sedam gladnih godina.
The seven thin and poor-looking cows who came up after them are seven years; and the seven heads of grain, dry and wasted by the east wind, are seven years when there will be no food.
28 To je ono što sam već faraonu rekao: Bog objavljuje faraonu što kani učiniti.
As I said to Pharaoh before, God has made clear to him what he is about to do.
29 Dolazi, evo, sedam godina velikog obilja svoj zemlji egipatskoj.
Seven years are coming in which there will be great wealth of grain in Egypt;
30 A poslije njih nastat će sedam gladnih godina, kada će se zaboraviti sve obilje u zemlji egipatskoj.
And after that will come seven years when there will not be enough food; and the memory of the good years will go from men's minds; and the land will be made waste by the bad years;
31 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.
And men will have no memory of the good time because of the need which will come after, for it will be very bitter.
32 A što se faraonov san ponovio, znači da se Bog na to zaista odlučio i da će to uskoro provesti.
And this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.
33 Zato neka faraon izabere sposobna i mudra čovjeka te ga postavi nad zemljom egipatskom.
And now let Pharaoh make search for a man of wisdom and good sense, and put him in authority over the land of Egypt.
34 Nadalje, neka se faraon pobrine da postavi nadglednika u zemlji koji će kÓupiti petinu sve žetve u zemlji egipatskoj za sedam godina obilja.
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him put overseers over the land of Egypt to put in store a fifth part of the produce of the land in the good years.
35 Neka skupljaju od svakog žita za sedam dobrih godina što dolaze; neka s ovlaštenjem faraonovim sabiru žito za hranu i pohranjuju ga po gradovima.
And let them get together all the food in those good years and make a store of grain under Pharaoh's control for the use of the towns, and let them keep it.
36 Neka zalihe služe za hranu u zemlji za sedam godina gladi što će snaći zemlju egipatsku, tako da za gladi zemlja ne propadne.”
And let that food be kept in store for the land till the seven bad years which are to come in Egypt; so that the land may not come to destruction through need of food.
37 Svidje se odgovor faraonu i svim njegovim službenicima.
And this seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.
38 Zato faraon reče svojim službenicima: “Zar bismo mogli naći drugoga kao što je on, čovjeka koji bi bio tako obdaren duhom Božjim?”
Then Pharaoh said to his servants, Where may we get such a man as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?
39 A onda faraon reče Josipu: “Otkako je sve to Bog tebi otkrio, nikoga nema sposobna i mudra kao što si ti.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Seeing that God has made all this clear to you, there is no other man of such wisdom and good sense as you:
40 Ti ćeš biti upravitelj moga dvora: sav će se moj narod pokoravati tvojim naredbama. Jedino prijestoljem ja ću biti veći od tebe.
You, then, are to be over my house, and all my people will be ruled by your word: only as king will I be greater than you.
41 Postavljam te, evo,” reče faraon Josipu, “nad svom zemljom egipatskom.”
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have put you over all the land of Egypt.
42 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.
Then Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and he had him clothed with the best linen, and put a chain of gold round his neck;
43 Vozio se on u kolima kao njegov zamjenik, a pred njim klicahu: “Abrek! Na koljena!” Tako ga postavi nad svu zemlju egipatsku.
And he made him take his seat in the second of his carriages; and they went before him crying, Make way! So he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
44 Još faraon reče Josipu: “Premda sam ja faraon, neće nitko dići svoje ruke ni noge bez tvog odobrenja u svoj zemlji egipatskoj.”
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without your order no man may do anything in all the land of Egypt.
45 Faraon nazva Josipa “Safenat Paneah”, a za ženu mu dade Asenatu, kćer Poti-Fere, svećenika u Onu. I Josip postade poznat po zemlji egipatskoj.
And Pharaoh gave Joseph the name of Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, the priest of On, to be his wife. So Joseph went through all the land of Egypt.
46 Josipu je bilo trideset godina kad je stupio u službu faraona, kralja egipatskog. A otišavši Josip ispred faraona, putovao je po svoj zemlji egipatskoj.
Now Joseph was thirty years old when he came before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from before the face of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.
47 Za sedam rodnih godina zemlja je rađala u obilju;
Now in the seven good years the earth gave fruit in masses.
48 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.
And Joseph got together all the food of those seven years, and made a store of food in the towns: the produce of the fields round every town was stored up in the town.
49 Tako Josip nagomila mnogo žita, kao pijeska u moru, pa ga prestade i mjeriti jer mu mjere ne bijaše.
So he got together a store of grain like the sand of the sea; so great a store that after a time he gave up measuring it, for it might not be measured.
50 Dok još ne nasta gladna godina, Josip imade dva sina koje mu rodi Asenata, kći Poti-Fere, svećenika u Onu.
And before the time of need, Joseph had two sons, to whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On, gave birth.
51 Prvorođencu Josip nadjenu ime Manaše, “jer Bog je”, reče, “dao te sam zaboravio svoje teškoće i svoj očinski dom.”
And to the first he gave the name Manasseh, for he said, God has taken away from me all memory of my hard life and of my father's house.
52 Drugomu nadjenu ime Efrajim, “jer Bog me”, reče, “učinio rodnim u zemlji moje nevolje.”
And to the second he gave the name Ephraim, for he said, God has given me fruit in the land of my sorrow.
53 Sedam godina obilja koje je uživala zemlja egipatska dođe kraju,
And so the seven good years in Egypt came to an end.
54 a primače se sedam gladnih godina, kako je Josip prorekao. U svim zemljama bijaše glad, a u svoj zemlji egipatskoj bijaše kruha.
Then came the first of the seven years of need as Joseph had said: and in every other land they were short of food; but in the land of Egypt there was bread.
55 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!”
And when all the land of Egypt was in need of food, the people came crying to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to the people, Go to Joseph, and whatever he says to you, do it.
56 Kad se glad proširi po svoj zemlji, Josip rastvori skladišta te je Egipćane opskrbljivao žitom, jer je glad postala žestoka i u zemlji egipatskoj.
And everywhere on the earth they were short of food; then Joseph, opening all his store-houses, gave the people of Egypt grain for money; so great was the need of food in the land of Egypt.
57 Sav je svijet išao u Egipat k Josipu da kupuje žita, jer je strašna glad vladala po svem svijetu.
And all lands sent to Egypt, to Joseph, to get grain, for the need was great over all the earth.
