< 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 cows, of good appearance and fat in flesh; and they fed in the meadow.
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 cows came up after them out of the river, ill-favored and lean in flesh; and they stood by the other cows upon the brink of the river.
4 Ružne i mršave krave požderu ono sedam lijepih i pretilih, i uto se faraon probudi.
And the ill-favored and lean-fleshed cows did eat up the seven well-favored and fat cows. And Pharaoh awoke.
5 Opet zaspi te usnu drugi san: sedam punih i jedrih klasova izraste na jednoj stabljici.
And he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up on one stalk, rank and good.
6 Ali, eto, poslije njih uzraste sedam klasova šturih, istočnjakom opaljenih.
And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted 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 seven thin ears swallowed up the seven rank 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 magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret the same unto Pharaoh.
9 Onda progovori faraonov glavni peharnik: “Moram danas spomenuti jedan svoj propust.
Then spoke the chief of the butlers unto Pharaoh, saying, My faults I must call to remembrance 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 servants, and put me in ward in the house of the captain of the guards, 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 in accordance with 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 with us a Hebrew lad, a servant to the captain of the guards; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each according to his dream did he interpret.
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 had interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto 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 had Joseph called, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his garments, and came in unto 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 unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand 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 an answer for the peace of Pharaoh.
17 Onda je faraon pripovjedao Josipu: “U svom snu stojim na obali Nila.
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink 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 cows, fat in flesh and good in shape; and they fed in the meadow;
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 cows came up after them, poor and very ill-shaped and lean in flesh; I never saw any like these in all the land of Egypt for ugliness;
20 I sedam mršavih i ružnih krava proždru prvih sedam debelih krava.
And the lean and the ill-favored cows did eat up the first seven fat cows;
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 when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but their appearance was still as 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, blasted 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 this unto the magicians; but there was none that could tell it to me.
25 Onda Josip reče faraonu: “Faraonov je san samo jedan: Bog javlja faraonu što kani učiniti.
And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, the dream of Pharaoh is one, that which God is about to do, he hath told to Pharaoh.
26 Sedam lijepih krava, to je sedam godina; sedam lijepih klasova opet je sedam godina. Tako je samo jedan san.
The seven good cows 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 thin and ill-favored cows that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears, blasted with the east wind, shall be seven years of famine.
28 To je ono što sam već faraonu rekao: Bog objavljuje faraonu što kani učiniti.
This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he hath shown unto Pharaoh.
29 Dolazi, evo, sedam godina velikog obilja svoj zemlji egipatskoj.
Behold, there are coming seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
30 A poslije njih nastat će sedam gladnih godina, kada će se zaboraviti sve obilje u zemlji egipatskoj.
And there shall arise seven years of famine after them, when all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume 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 shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following it; for it shall 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 it respecteth that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice, it is because the thing is firmly resolved on by God, and God hasteneth to bring it to pass.
33 Zato neka faraon izabere sposobna i mudra čovjeka te ga postavi nad zemljom egipatskom.
Now therefore let Pharaoh look 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, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part [of the produce] of the land of Egypt in 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 up all the food of those good years that are coming, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, as food in the cities, and keep the same.
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 that food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land be not cut off through the famine.
37 Svidje se odgovor faraonu i svim njegovim službenicima.
And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of 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?”
And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a 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 unto Joseph, Inasmuch as God hath caused thee to know all this, 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 word shall all my people be ruled, only in regard to the throne will I be greater than thou.
41 Postavljam te, evo,” reče faraon Josipu, “nad svom zemljom egipatskom.”
And Pharaoh said unto 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 upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a golden chain about 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 which he had; and they cried before him, Bend the knee: and he placed him [thus] 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 unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh; but 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 Zaphenath-pa'neach; and he gave him Assenath the daughter of Poti-phera', the priest of On, for wife. And Joseph went out over 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.
And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh the king of Egypt; and Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 Za sedam rodnih godina zemlja je rađala u obilju;
And the earth brought forth in the seven years of plenty 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, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field of the city, which was round about it, laid he up in the same.
49 Tako Josip nagomila mnogo žita, kao pijeska u moru, pa ga prestade i mjeriti jer mu mjere ne bijaše.
And Joseph heaped up corn as the sand of the sea, very much; until he 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 unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Assenath the daughter of Poti-phera' the priest of On, bore unto 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 first-born Menasseh: For God [said he] hath 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 [said he] hath 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 was 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 famine began to come, just as Joseph had said; and there was famine in all the countries, 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 when all the land of Egypt also felt hunger, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, 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 over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the store-houses, wherein corn was, and sold unto the Egyptians; for the famine grew strong 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 the countries came into Egypt to buy corn of Joseph; because the famine was sore in all the countries.
