< Postanak 41 >

1 Poslije dvije godine usnu faraon da stoji pokraj Nila.
Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and look, he was standing by the Nile.
2 Iz Nila iziđe sedam krava, lijepih i debelih; pasle su po šašu.
And look, there came up out of the Nile seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds.
3 Ali odmah poslije njih iz Nila iziđe sedam drugih krava, ružnih i mršavih, te stanu uz one krave na obali Nila.
And look, seven other cows came up after them out of the Nile, miserable-looking and thin, and stood by the other cows at the edge of the Nile.
4 Ružne i mršave krave požderu ono sedam lijepih i pretilih, i uto se faraon probudi.
The miserable-looking and thin cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
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 look, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
6 Ali, eto, poslije njih uzraste sedam klasova šturih, istočnjakom opaljenih.
Then look, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprouted up after them.
7 Šturi klasovi proždru sedam jedrih i punih klasova. I faraon se probudi, i gle: bio je to san.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up, and look, 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.
It happened in the morning that his mind was troubled, so he summoned all of Egypt's magicians and wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
9 Onda progovori faraonov glavni peharnik: “Moram danas spomenuti jedan svoj propust.
Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I remember my faults today.
10 Jednom, kad se faraon razljutio na svoje službenike, mene i glavnog pekara stavio je u zatvor u zgradi glavnog upravitelja.
Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me in prison in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.
11 Usnusmo san iste noći, i ja i on, ali je svaki od nas usnuo san drugog značenja.
We had a dream on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own meaning.
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.
Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guards, and we told him, and he interpreted our dreams to us, to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.
13 Kako nam ih je protumačio, tako nam se i dogodilo: mene vratiše na moje mjesto, a onoga objesiše.”
And it happened just the way he interpreted them to us, so it was: I was restored to my office, and he was 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 summoned Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the pit. And he shaved himself, 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 had a dream, but there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said about you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."
16 “Ništa ja ne mogu”, odgovori Josip faraonu, “nego će Bog dati pravi odgovor faraonu.”
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "Apart from God, the welfare of Pharaoh will receive no answer. "
17 Onda je faraon pripovjedao Josipu: “U svom snu stojim na obali Nila.
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "In my dream, look, I stood on the edge of the Nile.
18 I gle! Iz Nila iziđe sedam debelih i lijepih krava. Pasle su po šašu.
And look, there came up out of the river seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds.
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 look, seven other cows came up after them, scrawny and very miserable-looking and thin. I had never seen such bad-looking cows in all the land of Egypt.
20 I sedam mršavih i ružnih krava proždru prvih sedam debelih krava.
The thin and miserable-looking cows ate 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.
But when they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as miserable-looking as at the beginning. Then I woke up.
22 Zatim sam u snu vidio kako na jednoj stabljici uzraste sedam punih i lijepih klasova.
And I fell asleep, and I saw in my dream, and look, seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good.
23 Ali poslije njih uzraste sedam klasova zgrčenih, šturih, istočnjakom opaljenih.
And look, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprouted 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 of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. And I told it to the magicians, but no one could tell me its meaning."
25 Onda Josip reče faraonu: “Faraonov je san samo jedan: Bog javlja faraonu što kani učiniti.
Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God has told 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 good cows represent seven years, and the seven good heads of grain represent seven years. The dreams are the same.
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 miserable-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind. They are seven years of famine.
28 To je ono što sam već faraonu rekao: Bog objavljuje faraonu što kani učiniti.
It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
29 Dolazi, evo, sedam godina velikog obilja svoj zemlji egipatskoj.
Look, seven years of great abundance will come throughout all the land of Egypt.
30 A poslije njih nastat će sedam gladnih godina, kada će se zaboraviti sve obilje u zemlji egipatskoj.
But after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will devastate 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 abundance will not be remembered in the land because of the famine that follows it, for it will be very severe.
32 A što se faraonov san ponovio, znači da se Bog na to zaista odlučio i da će to uskoro provesti.
Now the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the matter has been fixed by God, and God will carry it out soon.
33 Zato neka faraon izabere sposobna i mudra čovjeka te ga postavi nad zemljom egipatskom.
Now therefore Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man, and give him 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.
Pharaoh should do this, and should appoint overseers over the land, and they should take a fifth of all the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
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.
They should gather all the food during these good years that are coming and store the grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and they should preserve 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.”
That food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine that will come on the land of Egypt, so that the land will survive the famine."
37 Svidje se odgovor faraonu i svim njegovim službenicima.
The proposal 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?”
Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one 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.
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one as discerning and wise 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 will be in charge of my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you."
41 Postavljam te, evo,” reče faraon Josipu, “nad svom zemljom egipatskom.”
Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Look, I have put you in charge 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 signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and clothed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain around 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 had him ride in the second chariot which he had, and they called out before him, "Bow the knee. " So he put him in charge over the entire 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, but without your permission no one will do anything or go anywhere 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.
Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-Paneah. And he gave him Asenath the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, as a wife. So Joseph went out through 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.
Joseph was thirty years old when he began to serve Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph left the presence of Pharaoh and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 Za sedam rodnih godina zemlja je rađala u obilju;
During the seven years of abundance the land produced large harvests.
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 collected all the food during the seven years when there was abundance in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities. He placed in every city the food from the fields surrounding it.
49 Tako Josip nagomila mnogo žita, kao pijeska u moru, pa ga prestade i mjeriti jer mu mjere ne bijaše.
Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it, because it could not be measured.
50 Dok još ne nasta gladna godina, Josip imade dva sina koje mu rodi Asenata, kći Poti-Fere, svećenika u Onu.
To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
51 Prvorođencu Josip nadjenu ime Manaše, “jer Bog je”, reče, “dao te sam zaboravio svoje teškoće i svoj očinski dom.”
Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: "For God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household."
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 made me fruitful in the land of my suffering."
53 Sedam godina obilja koje je uživala zemlja egipatska dođe kraju,
And the seven years of abundance that occurred in the land of 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 the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was food.
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!”
When all the land of Egypt experienced the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh said to all Egypt, "Go to Joseph. Whatever he says 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.
So the famine was over all the surface of the land. Then Joseph opened all the storehouses of grain and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine was severe 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 to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
