Postanak 46
1 Tako Izrael krene na put sa svim što bijaše njegovo i stigne u Beer Šebu te prinese žrtvu Bogu svoga oca Izaka.
So Jacob left [Canaan], taking with him all his family and possessions. When they arrived at Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to God, the one whom his father Isaac worshiped.
2 U noćnom viđenju zovne Bog Izraela: “Jakove! Jakove!” On odgovori: “Evo me!”
That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
3 “Ja sam Bog, Bog tvoga oca. Ne boj se sići u Egipat, jer ću ondje od tebe proizvesti velik narod.
God said, “I am God, the one your father worshiped. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, because I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation there.
4 Ja ću sići u Egipat s tobom i sam ću te vratiti ovamo; a Josip će ti svojom rukom oči zaklopiti.”
I will go down to Egypt with you, and later I will bring [your descendants] back to Canaan again. And Joseph will be with you [MTY] when you die.” [IDM]
5 I Jakov krene iz Beer Šebe. Sinovi Izraelovi postave svoga oca Jakova, svoju djecu i svoje žene u kola što ih je faraon poslao da ga prevezu.
Jacob left Beersheba, and his sons took their father, their wives, and their children, in the carts that the king had sent for them to travel in.
6 Uzmu sa sobom svoje blago i dobra što ih bijahu stekli u zemlji kanaanskoj te stignu Jakov i sve njegovo potomstvo u Egipat.
So Jacob and all his family went to Egypt. They took with them the livestock and all the other possessions that they had acquired in Canaan.
7 Sa sobom je u Egipat poveo svoje sinove i unuke, svoje kćeri i kćeri svojih sinova, sve svoje potomstvo.
Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
8 Ovo su imena Izraelaca - Jakova i njegovih potomaka - koji su stigli u Egipat: Jakovljev prvorođenac Ruben.
(Here is/I will now give you) a list of the names of the members of Jacob’s family who went with him to Egypt: Reuben, Jacob’s oldest son; Reuben’s sons Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; Simeon and his sons Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar, and Shaul, who was the son of a Canaan people-group woman; Levi and his sons Gershon, Kohath, and Merari; Judah and his sons, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (his other sons, Er, and Onan, had died in Canaan); Perez and his two sons Hezron and Hamul; Issachar and his sons Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron; Zebulon and his sons Sered, Elon, and Jahleel; (Those were the sons of Jacob and Leah, and their daughter Dinah, who were born in Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia: There were 33 of them, altogether.) They had Gad and his sons Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli; Asher and his sons Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, and Beriah; and their sister Serah; Beriah’s sons Heber and Malkiel; (Those were the children and grandchildren of Jacob and Zilpah, the slave girl whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah: There were 16 of them, altogether.) Joseph and Benjamin, the sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel; (Ephraim and Manasseh were Joseph’s two sons. [They did not go down to Egypt] because they were already in Egypt. They were sons of Asenath, the daughter of On, who was the priest in the temple in On [city].) Benjamin and his sons Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard; (Those were the sons and grandsons of Rachel and Jacob: There were 14 people altogether.) Dan and his son Hushim; Naphtali and his sons Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem. (Those were the sons and grandsons of Jacob and Bilhah, the slave girl whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel: There were seven people altogether.)
9 Rubenovi sinovi: Henok, Falu, Hesron i Karmi.
10 Sinovi Šimunovi: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Sohar i Šaul, sin Kanaanke.
11 Sinovi Levijevi: Geršon, Kehat i Merari.
12 Sinovi Judini: Er, Onan, Šela, Peres i Zerah. Er i Onan umrli su u zemlji kanaanskoj. Peresovi sinovi bili su Hesron i Hamul.
13 Sinovi Jisakarovi: Tola, Fuva, Jašub i Šimron.
14 Sinovi Zebulunovi: Sered, Elon i Jahleel.
15 To su sinovi koje je Lea imala s Jakovom u Padan Aramu i još kćerka Dina. U svemu je, dakle, imao sinova i kćeri trideset i troje.
16 Sinovi Gadovi: Sifjon, Hagi, Šuni, Esbon, Eri, Arodi i Areli.
17 Sinovi Ašerovi: Jimna, Jišva, Jišvi, Berija i sestra im Serah. Sinovi Berijini: Heber i Malkiel.
18 To su bili potomci Zilpe, koju je Laban darovao svojoj kćeri Lei. Ona je tako rodila Jakovu šesnaest duša.
19 Sinovi Jakovljeve žene Rahele: Josip i Benjamin.
20 Josipu su se u egipatskoj zemlji rodili Manaše i Efrajim. Rodila mu ih je kći onskog svećenika Poti-Fere.
21 Sinovi Benjaminovi: Bela, Beker, Ašbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Roš, Mupim, Hupim i Ard.
22 To su bili potomci Rahelini koje je rodila Jakovu - u svemu njih četrnaest.
23 Danov je sin Hušim.
24 Sinovi Naftalijevi: Jahseel, Guni, Jeser i Šilem.
25 To su bili potomci Bilhe, koju je Laban dao svojoj kćeri Raheli. Ona je Jakovu rodila sedam potomaka.
26 Tako je sve Jakovljeve čeljadi što je od njega poteklo i u Egipat doselilo - ne uključujući žena Jakovljevih sinova - u svemu šezdeset i šest osoba.
Altogether there were 66 people who were Jacob’s descendants who went to Egypt with him. That number does not include his sons’ wives.
27 I k tome dva sina Josipova što su mu se rodila u Egiptu. Prema tome, sve čeljadi Jakovljeva doma što se naseli u Egiptu bijaše sedamdeset duša.
Including Jacob and Joseph and Joseph’s two sons who were born in Egypt, there were 70 members of Jacob’s family when they were all there in Egypt.
28 Izrael posla Judu naprijed k Josipu da se pred njim pojavi u Gošenu. Kad stignu u gošenski kraj,
Jacob sent Judah to go ahead of the rest of them to talk with Joseph and ask for directions on how to travel to Goshen. Then [Judah returned to the rest of his family and] they all traveled to the Goshen region. When they arrived there,
29 Josip upregne svoja kola i zaputi se u Gošen - u susret svome ocu Izraelu. Stupivši preda nj, pade mu oko vrata i dugo je tako plakao.
Joseph got his chariot ready and went to Goshen to meet his father. When Joseph arrived, he threw his arms around his father’s neck and cried a long time.
30 Onda Izrael reče Josipu: “Sada, pošto sam rođenim očima vidio da si još živ, mogu umrijeti.”
Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
31 Zatim Josip reče svojoj braći i očevoj obitelji: “Otići ću i obavijestiti faraona; reći ću mu: 'Moja braća i obitelj moga oca, koji su bili u zemlji kanaanskoj, došli su k meni.
Then Joseph said to his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and to the rest of his father’s family, “I will go to the king and say to him, ‘My [older] brothers [and younger brother] and my father and the rest of his family, who were living in Canaan land, have all come to me.
32 Oni su ljudi pastiri, uvijek su se bavili stočarstvom; dotjerali su sa sobom svoja stada i sve što im pripada.'
The men are all shepherds. They take care of their livestock, and they have brought with them their sheep and goats and cattle, and everything else that they own.’
33 Tako, kad vas faraon pozove i zapita: 'Čime se bavite?'
When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
34 odgovorite: 'Ljudi smo, sluge tvoje, koji se od početka do sad bavimo stočarstvom; i mi i naši preci', tako da se možete naseliti u gošenskom kraju. Svi su, naime, pastiri Egipćanima mrski.”
answer him by saying, ‘From the time when we were young, we have taken care of livestock, just as our ancestors did.’ If you tell him that, he will let you live in the Goshen region.” Joseph told them to say that because the people of Egypt despised all shepherds.
