Postanak 45
1 Josip se više nije mogo svladavati pred onima koji su ga okruživali pa povika: “Neka svi odstupe!” Tako nitko nije ostao s Josipom kad se očitovao svojoj braći.
And Joseph has not been able to refrain himself before all those standing by him, and he calls, “Put out every man from me”; and no man has stood with him when Joseph makes himself known to his brothers,
2 Briznuo je u glasan plač, da su ga i Egipćani mogli čuti. Doznalo se za to i na faraonovu dvoru.
and he gives forth his voice in weeping, and the Egyptians hear, and the house of Pharaoh hears.
3 “Ja sam Josip”, reče Josip svojoj braći. “Otac mi je, dakle, još na životu!” Ali mu braća nisu mogla odgovoriti, toliko se zapanjiše pred njim.
And Joseph says to his brothers, “I [am] Joseph, is my father yet alive?” And his brothers have not been able to answer him, for they have been troubled at his presence.
4 Onda će opet Josip svojoj braći: “Primaknite se k meni!” Kad su se primakli, nastavi: “Ja sam Josip, vaš brat; onaj koga ste prodali u Egipat.
And Joseph says to his brothers, “Please come near to me,” and they come near; and he says, “I [am] your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt;
5 Ali se nemojte uznemirivati i prekoravati što ste me ovamo prodali; jer Bog je onaj koji me pred vama poslao da vas održi u životu.
and now, do not be grieved, nor let it be displeasing in your eyes that you sold me here, for God has sent me before you to preserve life.
6 Dvije su već godine što je glad došla na zemlju, a još pet godina neće biti ni oranja ni žetve u zemlji.
Because these two years the famine [is] in the heart of the land, and yet five years [remain in] which there is neither plowing nor harvest;
7 Zato me Bog poslao pred vama da vam se sačuva ostatak na zemlji te da vam život spasi velikim izbavljenjem.
and God sends me before you, to place a remnant of you in the land, and to give life to you by a great escape;
8 Tako niste vi mene poslali ovamo nego Bog; on me postavio faraonu za oca, gospodara nad svim njegovim domom i vladaocem nad svom zemljom egipatskom.
and now, you have not sent me here, but God, and He sets me for a father to Pharaoh, and for lord to all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
9 Žurite se k mome ocu te mu recite: 'Ovo ti poručuje tvoj sin Josip: Bog me postavio gospodarem nad svim Egiptom; siđi k meni bez oklijevanja.
Hurry, and go up to my father, then you have said to him, Thus said your son Joseph: God has set me for lord to all Egypt; come down to me, do not stay,
10 Nastanit ćeš se u kraju Gošenu. Tako ćeš biti blizu mene: ti, tvoja djeca, tvoja unučad, tvoje ovce i goveda i sve što je tvoje.
and you have dwelt in the land of Goshen, and been near to me, you and your sons, and your son’s sons, and your flock, and your herd, and all that you have,
11 Ondje ću se za te brinuti, jer će glad potrajati još pet godina. Tako nećeš oskudijevati ni ti, ni tvoja obitelj, niti itko tvoj.'
and I have nourished you there—for yet [are] five years of famine—lest you become poor, you and your household, and all that you have.
12 Ta svojim očima možete vidjeti, kao što vidi i moj brat Benjamin, da vam to moja usta govore.
And behold, your eyes are seeing, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that [it is] my mouth which is speaking to you;
13 Pripovjedite ocu o mome visokom položaju u Egiptu i sve što ste vidjeli; i brzo mi ovamo oca dovedite!”
and you have declared to my father all my glory in Egypt, and all that you have seen, and you have hurried, and have brought down my father here.”
14 Potom zagrli brata Benjamina te zaplaka; a plakao je i Benjamin obisnuvši mu oko vrata.
And he falls on the neck of his brother Benjamin, and weeps, and Benjamin has wept on his neck;
15 Izljubi zatim svu svoju braću, u naručju im se rasplaka. Poslije toga njegova braća zađu s njim u razgovor.
and he kisses all his brothers, and weeps over them; and afterward his brothers have spoken with him.
16 Glas se pročuje u faraonovu dvoru: “Stigla Josipova braća!” Bilo je to drago faraonu i njegovim dvoranima.
And the sound has been heard in the house of Pharaoh, saying, “The brothers of Joseph have come”; and it is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants,
17 Onda faraon reče Josipu: “Kaži svojoj braći neka učine ovo: 'Natovarite svoje živine i odmah se uputite u zemlju kanaansku.
and Pharaoh says to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, This you do: load your beasts, and go, enter the land of Canaan,
18 Uzmite svoga oca i svoje obitelji i k meni dođite! Ja ću vam dati najbolju zemlju u Egiptu te ćete uživati od obilja ove zemlje.'
and take your father, and your households, and come to me, and I give to you the good of the land of Egypt, and you eat the fat of the land.
19 A naredi i ovo: 'Ovako učinite: Iz zemlje egipatske potjerajte kola za svoju djecu i svoje žene, uzmite oca i dođite.
Indeed, you have been commanded: this you do, take for yourselves out of the land of Egypt, wagons for your infants, and for your wives, and you have brought your father, and come;
20 Neka vam se oči ne rastužuju za vašim stvarima, jer sve što je u Egiptu najbolje bit će vaše.'”
and your eye has no pity on your vessels, for the good of all the land of Egypt [is] yours.”
21 Sinovi Izraelovi tako učine. Po faraonovoj zapovijedi Josip im dade kola i popudbinu.
And the sons of Israel do so, and Joseph gives wagons to them by the command of Pharaoh, and he gives to them provision for the way;
22 Svakom od njih dade nove haljine, a Benjaminu dade tri stotine srebrnika i petore haljine.
to all of them has he given—to each changes of garments, and to Benjamin he has given three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of garments;
23 Isto tako pošalje svome ocu: deset magaraca natovarenih najboljim plodovima egipatskim i deset magarica natovarenih žitom, kruhom i namirnicama ocu za put.
and to his father he has sent thus: ten donkeys carrying of the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys carrying grain and bread, even food for his father for the way.
24 Isprativši svoju braću na put, reče im: “Nemojte se putem svađati!”
And he sends his brothers away, and they go; and he says to them, “Do not be angry in the way.”
25 I tako oni odoše iz Egipta i stigoše u zemlju kanaansku, k svome ocu Jakovu.
And they go up out of Egypt, and come to the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob,
26 Kad mu rekoše: “Josip je živ i čak vlada nad svom zemljom egipatskom!”, njegovo se srce skameni jer im nije mogao vjerovati.
and they declare to him, saying, “Joseph [is] yet alive,” and that he [is] ruler over all the land of Egypt; and his heart ceases, for he has not given credence to them.
27 Ali kad mu ispripovjediše sve što im je Josip rekao i kad vidje kola što ih je Josip poslao da ga prevezu, duh njihova oca Jakova oživje.
And they speak to him all the words of Joseph, which he has spoken to them, and he sees the wagons which Joseph has sent to carry him away, and the spirit of their father Jacob lives;
28 “Dosta”, reče Izrael. “Sin moj Josip još je živ! Moram poći i vidjeti ga prije nego umrem.”
and Israel says, “Enough! My son Joseph [is] yet alive; I go and see him before I die.”
