1 Mojžišova 37
1 Jákob pak bydlil v zemi putování otce svého, v zemi Kananejské.
Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.
2 Tito jsou příběhové Jákobovi: Jozef, když byl v sedmnácti letech, pásl s bratřími svými dobytek, (a byl mládeneček), s syny Bály a Zelfy, žen otce svého. A oznamoval Jozef zlou pověst o nich otci svému.
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, tended the flock with his brothers; he was an assistant to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report about them to their father.
3 Izrael pak miloval Jozefa nad všecky syny své; nebo v starosti své zplodil jej. A udělal mu sukni proměnných barev.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he had been born to him in his old age. And he made a long ornamented robe for him.
4 A když spatřili bratří jeho, že ho miluje otec jejich nad všecky bratří jeho, nenáviděli ho, aniž mohli pokojně k němu promluviti.
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak a kind word to him.
5 Měl pak Jozef sen, a vypravoval jej bratřím svým; pročež v větší nenávisti ho měli.
Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 Nebo pravil jim: Slyšte, prosím, sen, kterýž jsem měl.
He said to them, "Please listen to this dream I had:
7 Hle, vázali jsme snopy na poli, a aj, povstal snop můj, a stál. Vůkol také stáli snopové vaši, a klaněli se snopu mému.
And look, we were binding sheaves in the field, and look, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And look, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf."
8 Jemužto odpověděli bratří jeho: Zdaliž kralovati budeš nad námi, aneb pánem naším budeš? Z té příčiny ještě více nenáviděli ho pro sny jeho, a pro slova jeho.
Then his brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed rule over us?" So they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he said.
9 Potom ještě měl jiný sen, a vypravoval jej bratřím svým, řka: Hle, opět jsem měl sen, a aj, slunce a měsíc, a jedenácte hvězd klanělo mi se.
And he had another dream, and told it to his father and to his brothers, and said, "Look, I had yet another dream, and look, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me."
10 I vypravoval otci svému a bratřím svým. A domlouval mu otec jeho, a řekl jemu: Jakýž jest to sen, kterýž jsi měl? Zdaliž přijdeme, já a matka tvá i bratří tvoji, abychom se klaněli před tebou až k zemi?
When he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you had? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come and bow down to the ground in front of you?"
11 Tedy záviděli mu bratří jeho; ale otec jeho měl pozor na tu věc.
His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept thinking about the matter.
12 Odešli pak bratří jeho, aby pásli dobytek otce svého v Sichem.
Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.
13 A řekl Izrael Jozefovi: Zdaliž nepasou bratří tvoji v Sichem: Poď, a pošli tě k nim. Kterýžto odpověděl: Aj, teď jsem.
And Israel said to Joseph, "Aren't your brothers pasturing the flock near Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I am ready."
14 I řekl jemu: Jdi nyní, zvěz, jak se mají bratří tvoji, a co se děje s dobytkem; a zase mi povíš o tom. A tak poslal ho z údolí Hebron, a on přišel do Sichem.
So he said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and report back to me." So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 Našel ho pak muž nějaký, an bloudí po poli. I zeptal se ho muž ten, řka: Èeho hledáš?
And a man found him, and look, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
16 Odpověděl: Bratří svých hledám; pověz mi, prosím, kde oni pasou?
He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock."
17 I řekl muž ten: Odešli odsud; nebo slyšel jsem je, ani praví: Poďme do Dothain. Tedy šel Jozef za bratřími svými, a našel je v Dothain.
The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 Kteřížto, jakž ho uzřeli zdaleka, prvé než k nim došel, ukládali o něm, aby jej zahubili.
Now they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they plotted against him to kill him.
19 Nebo řekli jeden druhému: Ej, mistr snů teď jde.
And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming.
20 Nyní tedy poďte, a zabíme jej, a uvržeme ho do některé čisterny, a díme: Zvěř lítá sežrala jej. I uzříme, nač jemu vyjdou snové jeho.
Come now, and let's kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns, and we will say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we will see what will become of his dreams."
21 A uslyšev to Ruben, aby ho vytrhl z ruky jejich, (nebo řekl: Neodjímejme mu hrdla, )
But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let's not take his life."
22 Řekl jim Ruben: Nevylévejte krve. Vrzte jej do této čisterny, kteráž jest na poušti, a nevztahujte ruky na něj. Ale on chtěl vysvoboditi ho z ruky jejich, a pomoci mu, aby se navrátil k otci svému.
Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him"—that he might deliver him out of their hands, to restore him to his father.
23 A když přišel Jozef k bratřím svým, strhli s něho sukni jeho, sukni proměnných barev, kterouž měl na sobě.
It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing.
24 A pochopivše, uvrhli jej do čisterny. Èisterna pak ta byla prázdná, v níž nebylo vody.
And they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now the pit was empty. There was no water in it.)
25 I usadili se, aby jedli chléb. A pozdvihše očí svých, uzřeli, a aj, množství Izmaelitských přicházejících z Galád, kteřížto na velbloudích svých nesli vonné věci a kadidlo a mirru do Egypta.
Then they sat down to eat a meal. And they looked up, and look, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh on their way to carry them down to Egypt.
26 I řekl Juda bratřím svým: Jaký zisk míti budeme, zabijeme-li bratra svého, a zatajíme-li krve jeho?
Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
27 Poďte, prodejme ho Izmaelitským, a nevztahujme na něj rukou svých, nebo bratr náš, tělo naše jest. I uposlechli ho bratří jeho.
Come, and let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay a hand on him, for he is our brother, our flesh." And his brothers agreed.
28 Když pak mimo ně jeli muži ti, kupci Madianští, vytáhli a vyvedli Jozefa z té čisterny, a prodali jej Izmaelitským za dvadceti stříbrných. Ti zavedli Jozefa do Egypta.
So the Midianites merchants passed by, and they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the cistern, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt.
29 A navrátil se Ruben k čisterně, a aj, již nebylo Jozefa v ní. I roztrhl roucha svá.
And Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph wasn't in the cistern; and he tore his clothes.
30 A navrátiv se k bratřím svým, řekl: Pacholete není, a já kam se mám podíti?
He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone. Now, what am I to do?"
31 Tedy vzali sukni Jozefovu, a zabivše kozla, smočili sukni tu ve krvi.
They took Joseph's robe and killed a male goat and dipped the robe in the blood.
32 A poslali sukni tu proměnných barev, a dali ji donésti k otci svému, aby řekli: Tuto jsme nalezli; pohleď nyní, jest-li sukně syna tvého, či není?
And they sent the long ornamented robe and they brought it to their father, and said, "We found this. Please examine it to see whether it is your son's robe or not."
33 A on poznav ji, řekl: Sukně syna mého jest; zvěř lítá sežrala jej, konečně roztrhán jest Jozef.
And he recognized it, and said, "It is my son's robe. A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."
34 I roztrhl Jákob roucha svá, a vloživ žíni na bedra svá, zámutek nesl po synu svém za mnoho dní.
Then Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
35 Sešli se pak všickni synové jeho, a všecky dcery jeho, aby ho těšili. Ale on nedal se potěšiti, a řekl: Nýbrž já tak v zámutku sstoupím za synem svým do hrobu. A plakal ho otec jeho. (Sheol h7585)
All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Indeed, I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning." And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Mezi tím Madianští prodali Jozefa do Egypta Putifarovi, dvořeninu Faraonovu, hejtmanu žoldnéřů.
Now the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
