1 Mojžišova 41
1 Stalo se pak po dvou letech, měl Farao sen. Zdálo mu se, že stál nad potokem.
Two complete years later, the king of Egypt had a dream. In the dream, he was standing alongside the Nile [River].
2 A aj, z toho potoku vycházelo sedm krav, pěkných na pohledění a tlustých, kteréžto pásly se na mokřinách.
Suddenly seven healthy fat cows come up out of the river. They started eating the grass that was on the riverbank.
3 A aj, sedm krav jiných vycházelo za nimi z potoku, šeredných na pohledění a hubených, kteréžto stály podlé oněch krav při břehu potoka.
Soon seven other cows, unhealthy-looking and thin, came up behind them from the Nile [River]. They stood alongside the fat cows that were on the riverbank.
4 A ty krávy na pohledění šeredné a hubené sežraly oněch sedm krav na pohledění pěkných a tlustých. I procítil Farao.
Then the unhealthy thin cows ate the seven healthy fat cows. And then the king woke up.
5 A když usnul zase, zdálo se jemu podruhé. A aj, sedm klasů vyrostlo z stébla jednoho, plných a pěkných.
The king went to sleep again, and he had another dream. This time he saw seven heads of grain that were full of kernels of grain and ripe, and all growing on one stalk.
6 A aj, sedm klasů tenkých a východním větrem usvadlých vzcházelo za nimi.
After that, the king saw that seven other heads of grain sprouted on that (OR, on another) stalk. They were thin and had been dried up by the hot east wind.
7 A ti klasové tencí pohltili sedm oněch klasů zdařilých a plných. I procítiv Farao, a aj, byl sen.
Then the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven ripe full heads. Then the king woke up. He realized that he had been dreaming.
8 Když pak bylo ráno, zkormoucena byla mysl jeho; a poslav, svolal všecky hadače Egyptské, a všecky mudrce jejich. I vypravoval jim Farao sny své; a nebylo žádného, kdo by je vyložil Faraonovi.
But the next morning he was worried about the meaning of the dream. So he summoned all the magicians and wise men who lived in Egypt. He told them what he had dreamed, but none of them could tell him the meaning of the two dreams.
9 Tedy mluvil nejvyšší šeňk Faraonovi takto: Na provinění své rozpomínám se dnes.
Then the chief drink-server said to the king, “Now I remember something that I should have told you! I made a mistake by forgetting to tell it to you.
10 Farao rozhněvav se na služebníky své, dal mne byl do vězení v domě nejvyššího nad drabanty, mne a správce nad pekaři.
One time you were angry with two of us. So you put me and the chief baker in the prison in the house of the captain of the palace guards.
11 Měli jsme pak sen jedné noci, on i já, jeden každý podlé vyložení snu svého.
While we were there, one night each of us had a dream, and the dreams had different meanings.
12 A byl tam s námi mládenec Hebrejský, služebník nejvyššího nad drabanty, jemuž když jsme vypravovali, vykládal nám sny naše; jednomu každému podlé snu jeho vykládal.
There was a young Hebrew man there with us. He was a servant of the captain of the palace guards. We told him what we had dreamed, and he told us what our dreams meant. He told each of us the meaning of our dreams.
13 A stalo se, že jakž vykládal nám, tak bylo: Já jsem navrácen k úřadu svému, a on oběšen.
And what happened was exactly the same as the meanings that he told us: You said I could have my previous job again, but the other man was killed by being hanged. [The Hebrew man’s name was Joseph].”
14 Tedy poslav Farao, povolal Jozefa, a rychle vypustili ho z žaláře. Kterýžto oholiv se, a změniv roucho své, přišel k Faraonovi.
When the king heard that, he told some servants to bring Joseph to him, and they quickly brought Joseph out of the prison. Joseph shaved and put on better clothes, and then he went and stood in front of the king.
15 I řekl Farao Jozefovi: Měl jsem sen, a není, kdo by jej vyložil; o tobě pak slyšel jsem to, že když uslyšíš sen, umíš jej vyložiti.
The king said to Joseph, “I had two dreams, and no one can tell me what they mean. But someone told me that when you hear someone tell about a dream he has had, you can tell that person what the dream means.”
16 Odpověděl Jozef Faraonovi, řka: Není to má věc; Bůh oznámí šťastné věci Faraonovi.
But Joseph replied to the king, “No, I cannot do that. It is God who knows the meaning of dreams, but he will enable me to tell you their meaning, and they will mean something good.”
17 Tedy řekl Farao Jozefovi: Zdálo mi se ve snách, že jsem stál na břehu potoka.
The king said to Joseph, “In my first dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile [River].
18 A aj, z potoka toho vystupovalo sedm krav tlustých a pěkných, kteréžto pásly se na mokřinách.
Suddenly seven healthy fat cows came up out of the river, and they started eating the grass that was on the riverbank.
19 A aj, sedm jiných krav vystupovalo za nimi churavých a šeredných velmi a hubených; neviděl jsem tak šeredných ve vší zemi Egyptské.
Soon seven other cows, ugly and thin ones, came up behind them from the river. I never saw such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!
20 A sežraly krávy ty hubené a šeredné sedm krav prvnějších tlustých.
The thin ugly cows ate the seven fat cows that came up first.
21 A ač dostaly se do břicha jejich, však nebylo znáti, by se dostaly v střeva jejich; nebo na pohledění byly mrzké, jako i před tím. I procítil jsem.
But afterwards, no one would have known that the thin cows ate them, because they were just as ugly as they were before. Then I woke up.
22 Viděl jsem také ve snách, ano sedm klasů vyrostlo z stébla jednoho plných a pěkných.
Then I had another dream. I saw seven heads of grain. They were full of kernels of grain and ripe, and they were all growing on one stalk.
23 A aj, sedm klasů drobných, tenkých a východním větrem usvadlých vycházelo za nimi.
Then [to my surprise] I saw seven other heads of grain that sprouted. They were thin and had been dried up by the hot east wind.
24 I pohltili klasové ti drobní sedm klasů pěkných. Což když jsem vypravoval hadačům, nebyl, kdo by mi vyložil.
The thin heads of grain swallowed the seven good heads. I told these dreams to the magicians, but none of them could explain to me what they meant.”
25 Odpověděl Jozef Faraonovi: Sen Faraonův jednostejný jest. Což Bůh činiti bude, to ukázal Faraonovi.
Then Joseph said to the king, “Both your dreams have the same meaning. God is revealing to you in your dreams what he is about to do.
26 Sedm krav pěkných jest sedm let, a sedm klasů pěkných tolikéž jest sedm let; sen jest jednostejný.
The seven healthy cows represent seven years. The seven good heads of grain also represent seven years. The two dreams both have the same meaning.
27 Sedm pak hubených krav a šeredných, vystupujících za nimi, sedm let jest; a sedm klasů drobných a větrem východním usvadlých bude sedm let hladu.
The seven thin ugly cows that came up behind them and the seven worthless heads of grain that were dried up by the hot east wind each represent seven years (of famine/when food will be very scarce).
28 Toť jest, což jsem mluvil Faraonovi: Což Bůh činiti bude, ukazuje Faraonovi.
It will happen just as I have told you, because God has revealed to you what he is about to do.
29 Aj, sedm let nastane, v nichž hojnost veliká bude ve vší zemi Egyptské.
There will be seven years in which there will be plenty of food throughout the land of Egypt,
30 A po nich nastane sedm let hladu, v nichž v zapomenutí přijde všecka ta hojnost v zemi Egyptské; a zhubí hlad zemi.
but after that there will be seven years (of famine/when food will be very scarce). Then people will forget all the years when there was plenty of food, because the famine that will come afterward will ruin the country.
31 Aniž poznána bude hojnost ta v zemi, pro hlad, kterýž přijde potom; nebo velmi veliký bude.
The people will forget how plentiful food was previously, because the famine will be very terrible.
32 Že pak opětován jest sen Faraonovi podvakrát, znamená, že jistá věc jest od Boha, a že tím spíše Bůh vykoná to.
The reason God gave to you two dreams is that he [wants you to know] that this will happen, and he will cause it to happen very soon.
33 Protož nyní ať vyhledá Farao muže opatrného a moudrého, kteréhož by ustanovil nad zemí Egyptskou.
“Now I suggest that you should choose a man who is wise and can make good decisions. I suggest that you appoint him to direct the affairs of the whole country.
34 To ať učiní Farao, a postaví úředníky nad zemí, a béře pátý díl z úrod země Egyptské, po sedm let hojných.
You should also appoint supervisors over the country, in order that they can arrange to collect one-fifth of all the grain that is harvested during the seven years when food is plentiful.
35 Ať shromáždí všeliké potravy těch úrodných let nastávajících, a sklidí obilí k ruce Faraonovi; a potravy v městech ať se chovají pilně.
They should collect this amount of grain during those seven years that are coming, when there will be plenty of food. You should supervise them as they store it in the cities.
36 A budou pokrmové ti za poklad zemi této k sedmi letům hladu, kteráž budou v zemi Egyptské, aby nebyla zkažena země tato hladem.
This grain should be stored so that it can be eaten during the seven years when there will be a famine here in Egypt, so that the people in this country will not die from hunger.”
37 I líbila se řeč ta Faraonovi i všechněm služebníkům jeho.
The king and his officials thought that this would be a good plan.
38 Tedy řekl Farao služebníkům svým: Najdeme-liž podobného tomuto muži, v němž by byl Duch Boží?
So the king said to them, “(Can we find any other man like Joseph, a man to whom God has given his Spirit?/It is not likely that we will find another man like this man, one to whom God has given his Spirit!)” [RHQ]
39 Jozefovi pak řekl: Poněvadž Bůh dal znáti tobě všecko toto, neníť žádného tak rozumného a moudrého, jako ty jsi.
Then the king said to Joseph, “Because God has revealed all this to you, it seems to me that there is no one who is as wise as you and who can decide wisely about things.
40 Ty budeš nad domem mým, a líbati bude tvář tvou všecken lid můj; stolicí toliko královskou vyšší nad tebe budu.
So I will put you in charge of everything in my palace. All the people here in Egypt must obey what you command. Only because I am king [MTY] will I have more authority than you.”
41 Řekl také Farao Jozefovi: Aj, ustanovil jsem tě nade vší zemí Egyptskou.
Then the king said to Joseph, “I am now putting you in charge of the whole country of Egypt.”
42 A sňav Farao prsten svůj s ruky své, dal jej na ruku Jozefovu, a oblékl ho v roucho kmentové, a vložil zlatý řetěz na hrdlo jeho.
The king took from his finger the ring that had his seal on it, and he put it on Joseph’s finger. He put robes made of fine linen on him, and he put a gold chain around his neck.
43 A dal ho voziti na svém druhém voze, a volali před ním: Klanějte se! I ustanovil ho nade vší zemí Egyptskou.
Then he arranged for Joseph to ride around in the chariot [that showed that he was] the second-most important man in the country. When Joseph rode in the chariot, men shouted to the people who were on the road in front of him, “Get off the road!” So the king put Joseph in charge of everything in the country.
44 A řekl Farao Jozefovi: Já jsem Farao, a bez dopuštění tvého nepozdvihne žádný ruky své ani nohy své ve vší zemi Egyptské.
The king said to Joseph, “I am the king, but no one in the whole land of Egypt will do anything [IDM] if you do not permit them to do it.”
45 A dal Farao jméno Jozefovi Safenat Paneach, a dal mu Asenat dceru Putifera, knížete On, za manželku. I vyšel Jozef na zemi Egyptskou.
The king gave Joseph a new name, Zaphenath-Paneah. He also gave him Asenath to be his wife. She was the daughter of Potiphera, who was a priest in a temple in On [city]. Then Joseph became known (OR, traveled) through all the land of Egypt.
46 (Jozef pak byl ve třidcíti letech, když stál před Faraonem králem Egyptským.) A vyšed od tváři Faraonovy, projel všecku zemi Egyptskou.
Joseph was 30 years old when he started to work for the king of Egypt. To do his work, he left the king’s palace and traveled throughout Egypt.
47 A vydala země po sedm let úrodných obilí hojnost.
During the next seven years, the land produced abundant crops, so there was plenty of food.
48 I nahromáždil všelijakých potrav v těch sedmi letech hojných v zemi Egyptské, a složil potravu tu v městech; úrody polní jednoho každého města, kteréž byly okolo něho, složil v něm.
As Joseph supervised them, his helpers collected one-fifth of all the grain that was produced during those years, and stored it in the cities. In each city, he had his helpers store up the grain that was grown in the fields that surrounded that city.
49 A tak nahromáždil Jozef obilí velmi mnoho, jako jest písku mořského, tak že přestali počítati; nebo mu nebylo počtu.
Joseph had them store up a huge amount of grain. It looked as plentiful as the sand on the seashore. There was so much grain that after a while they stopped keeping records of how much grain was stored, because there was more grain than they could measure.
50 Jozefovi pak narodili se dva synové, prvé než přišel rok hladu, kteréž mu porodila Asenat, dcera Putifera, knížete On.
Before the seven years of famine started, Joseph’s wife Asenath gave birth to two sons.
51 A nazval Jozef jméno prvorozeného Manasses, řka: Nebo způsobil to Bůh, abych zapomenul na všecky práce své, a na všecken dům otce svého.
Joseph named the first one Manasseh, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘forget]’, because, he said, “God has caused me to forget all my troubles and all my father’s family.”
52 Jméno pak druhého nazval Efraim, řka: Nebo dal mi Bůh zrůst v zemi trápení mého.
He named his second son Ephraim, [which means ‘to have children]’, because, he said, “God has given me children here in this land where I have suffered.”
53 Tedy pominulo sedm let hojných v zemi Egyptské;
Finally the seven years in which there was plenty of food ended.
54 A počalo sedm let hladu přicházeti, jakž byl předpověděl Jozef. I byl hlad po všech krajinách, ale po vší zemi Egyptské byl chléb.
Then the seven years of famine started, just as Joseph had predicted. There was also a famine in all the other nearby lands, but although the crops did not grow, there was food everywhere in Egypt, because of the grain they had stored up in the cities.
55 Potom také nedostatek trpěla všecka země Egyptská, a volal lid k Faraonovi o chléb. I řekl Farao všechněm Egyptským: Jděte k Jozefovi, což vám rozkáže, učiníte.
When all the people of [MTY] Egypt had eaten all of their own food and were still hungry, they begged the king for food. So the king told all the people of Egypt, “Go to Joseph, and do what he tells you to do.”
56 A byl hlad na tváři vší země. Tedy otevřel Jozef všecky obilnice, v nichž obilí bylo, a prodával Egyptským; nebo rozmohl se hlad v zemi Egyptské.
When the famine was very bad throughout the whole country, Joseph ordered his helpers to open the storehouses. Then they sold the grain in the storehouses to the people of Egypt, because the famine was very severe all over Egypt.
57 A všickni obyvatelé země přicházeli do Egypta k Jozefovi, aby kupovali; nebo rozmohl se byl hlad po vší zemi.
And people from many [HYP] nearby countries came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was very severe everywhere [HYP].
