Postanak 41
1 Poslije dvije godine usnu faraon da stoji pokraj Nila.
And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.
2 Iz Nila iziđe sedam krava, lijepih i debelih; pasle su po šašu.
And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fine-looking and fat-fleshed, and they fed in the reed-grass.
3 Ali odmah poslije njih iz Nila iziđe sedam drugih krava, ružnih i mršavih, te stanu uz one krave na obali Nila.
And behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, bad-looking and lean-fleshed, and stood by the kine on the bank of the river.
4 Ružne i mršave krave požderu ono sedam lijepih i pretilih, i uto se faraon probudi.
And the kine that were bad-looking and lean-fleshed ate up the seven kine that were fine-looking and fat. And Pharaoh awoke.
5 Opet zaspi te usnu drugi san: sedam punih i jedrih klasova izraste na jednoj stabljici.
And he slept and dreamed the second time; and behold, seven ears of corn grew up on one stalk, fat and good.
6 Ali, eto, poslije njih uzraste sedam klasova šturih, istočnjakom opaljenih.
And behold, seven ears, thin and parched with the east wind, sprung up after them.
7 Šturi klasovi proždru sedam jedrih i punih klasova. I faraon se probudi, i gle: bio je to san.
And the thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke; and behold, 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 it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the scribes of Egypt, and all the sages who were therein, and Pharaoh told them his dream; but [there was] none to interpret them to Pharaoh.
9 Onda progovori faraonov glavni peharnik: “Moram danas spomenuti jedan svoj propust.
Then spoke the chief of the cup-bearers to Pharaoh, saying, I remember mine offences this day.
10 Jednom, kad se faraon razljutio na svoje službenike, mene i glavnog pekara stavio je u zatvor u zgradi glavnog upravitelja.
Pharaoh was wroth with his bondmen, and put me in custody into the captain of the life-guard's house, me and the chief of the bakers.
11 Usnusmo san iste noći, i ja i on, ali je svaki od nas usnuo san drugog značenja.
And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each according to the interpretation of his dream.
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 there with us a Hebrew youth, a bondman of the captain of the life-guard, to whom we told [them], and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each he interpreted according to his dream.
13 Kako nam ih je protumačio, tako nam se i dogodilo: mene vratiše na moje mjesto, a onoga objesiše.”
And it came to pass, just as he interpreted to us, so it came about: me has he restored to my office, and him he hanged.
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 and called Joseph; and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shaved [himself], and changed his clothes, and came in to 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 dreamt a dream, and there is none to interpret it. And I have heard say of thee, thou understandest a dream to interpret it.
16 “Ništa ja ne mogu”, odgovori Josip faraonu, “nego će Bog dati pravi odgovor faraonu.”
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17 Onda je faraon pripovjedao Josipu: “U svom snu stojim na obali Nila.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the river.
18 I gle! Iz Nila iziđe sedam debelih i lijepih krava. Pasle su po šašu.
And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and of fine form, and they fed in the reed-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!
And behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor, and very ill-formed, and lean-fleshed — such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.
20 I sedam mršavih i ružnih krava proždru prvih sedam debelih krava.
And the lean and bad kine ate up the seven first fat kine;
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 they came into their belly, and it could not be known that they had come into their belly; and their look was bad, as at the beginning. And I awoke.
22 Zatim sam u snu vidio kako na jednoj stabljici uzraste sedam punih i lijepih klasova.
And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good.
23 Ali poslije njih uzraste sedam klasova zgrčenih, šturih, istočnjakom opaljenih.
And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, parched with the east wind, sprung up after them;
24 I šturi klasovi proždru sedam jedrih klasova. Kazao sam ovo i vračarima, ali nema nikoga da mi razjasni.”
and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I told it to the scribes; but there was none to make it known to me.
25 Onda Josip reče faraonu: “Faraonov je san samo jedan: Bog javlja faraonu što kani učiniti.
And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God will do he has made known to Pharaoh.
26 Sedam lijepih krava, to je sedam godina; sedam lijepih klasova opet je sedam godina. Tako je samo jedan san.
The seven fine kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
27 Sedam mršavih i ružnih krava poslije njih, a tako i sedam praznih, istočnjakom opaljenih klasova, označuje sedam gladnih godina.
And the seven lean and bad kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears, parched with the east wind, will be seven years of famine.
28 To je ono što sam već faraonu rekao: Bog objavljuje faraonu što kani učiniti.
This is the word which I have spoken to Pharaoh: what God is about to do he has let Pharaoh see.
29 Dolazi, evo, sedam godina velikog obilja svoj zemlji egipatskoj.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout the land of Egypt.
30 A poslije njih nastat će sedam gladnih godina, kada će se zaboraviti sve obilje u zemlji egipatskoj.
And there will arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will waste away the land.
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 the plenty will not be known afterwards in the land by reason of that famine; for it will be very grievous.
32 A što se faraonov san ponovio, znači da se Bog na to zaista odlučio i da će to uskoro provesti.
And as regards the double repetition of the dream to Pharaoh, it is that the thing is established by God, and God will hasten to do it.
33 Zato neka faraon izabere sposobna i mudra čovjeka te ga postavi nad zemljom egipatskom.
And now let Pharaoh look himself out a man discreet and wise, and set him 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]: let him appoint overseers over the land, and take the fifth part of the land of Egypt during the seven years of plenty,
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 gather all the food of these coming good years, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, for food in the cities, and 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 the food be as store for the land for the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt, that the land perish not through the famine.
37 Svidje se odgovor faraonu i svim njegovim službenicima.
And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his bondmen.
38 Zato faraon reče svojim službenicima: “Zar bismo mogli naći drugoga kao što je on, čovjeka koji bi bio tako obdaren duhom Božjim?”
And Pharaoh said to his bondmen, Shall we find [one] as this, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
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, Since God has made all this known to thee, there is none [so] discreet and wise as thou.
40 Ti ćeš biti upravitelj moga dvora: sav će se moj narod pokoravati tvojim naredbama. Jedino prijestoljem ja ću biti veći od tebe.
Thou shalt be over my house, and according to thy commandment shall all my people regulate themselves; only concerning the throne will I be greater than thou.
41 Postavljam te, evo,” reče faraon Josipu, “nad svom zemljom egipatskom.”
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee 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.
And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in clothes of byssus, and put a gold chain on 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 caused him to ride in the second chariot that he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee! and he set him 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.”
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot 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 called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah, and gave him as wife Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On. And Joseph went out over 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.
And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh, and passed through the whole land of Egypt.
47 Za sedam rodnih godina zemlja je rađala u obilju;
And in the seven years of plenty the land brought forth by handfuls.
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 he gathered up all the food of the seven years that was in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities; the food of the fields of the city, which were round about it, he laid up in it.
49 Tako Josip nagomila mnogo žita, kao pijeska u moru, pa ga prestade i mjeriti jer mu mjere ne bijaše.
And Joseph laid up corn as sand of the sea exceeding much, until they left off numbering; for it was without number.
50 Dok još ne nasta gladna godina, Josip imade dva sina koje mu rodi Asenata, kći Poti-Fere, svećenika u Onu.
And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On bore to him.
51 Prvorođencu Josip nadjenu ime Manaše, “jer Bog je”, reče, “dao te sam zaboravio svoje teškoće i svoj očinski dom.”
And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh — For God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
52 Drugomu nadjenu ime Efrajim, “jer Bog me”, reče, “učinio rodnim u zemlji moje nevolje.”
And the name of the second he called Ephraim — For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
53 Sedam godina obilja koje je uživala zemlja egipatska dođe kraju,
And the seven years of plenty that were in the land of Egypt were ended;
54 a primače se sedam gladnih godina, kako je Josip prorekao. U svim zemljama bijaše glad, a u svoj zemlji egipatskoj bijaše kruha.
and the seven years of the dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was dearth in all lands; but in all 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 all the land of Egypt suffered from the dearth. And the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph: what he says to you, that do.
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 the famine was on all the earth. And Joseph opened every place in which there was [provision], and sold grain to the Egyptians; and the famine was grievous 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 countries came into Egypt to Joseph, to buy [grain], because the famine was grievous on the whole earth.
