Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph could not restrain himself before all those who stood before him, and he cried out, Cause every man to go out from me. And no man stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
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.
2 And he wept aloud, and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Briznuo je u glasan plač, da su ga i Egipćani mogli čuti. Doznalo se za to i na faraonovu dvoru.
3 And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph, does my father yet live? And his brothers could not answer him, for they were troubled at his presence.
“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.
4 And Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near, and he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
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.
5 And now be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
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.
6 For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are yet five years, in which there shall be neither plowing nor harvest.
Dvije su već godine što je glad došla na zemlju, a još pet godina neće biti ni oranja ni žetve u zemlji.
7 And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
Zato me Bog poslao pred vama da vam se sačuva ostatak na zemlji te da vam život spasi velikim izbavljenjem.
8 So now it was not you that sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
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.
9 Hasten ye, and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says thy son Joseph: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me, delay not.
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.
10 And thou shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shall be near to me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou have.
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.
11 And there will I nourish thee, for there are yet five years of famine, lest thou come to poverty, thou, and thy household, and all that thou have.
Ondje ću se za te brinuti, jer će glad potrajati još pet godina. Tako nećeš oskudijevati ni ti, ni tvoja obitelj, niti itko tvoj.'
12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
Ta svojim očima možete vidjeti, kao što vidi i moj brat Benjamin, da vam to moja usta govore.
13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen. And ye shall hasten and bring down my father here.
Pripovjedite ocu o mome visokom položaju u Egiptu i sve što ste vidjeli; i brzo mi ovamo oca dovedite!”
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept, and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
Potom zagrli brata Benjamina te zaplaka; a plakao je i Benjamin obisnuvši mu oko vrata.
15 And he kissed all his brothers, and wept upon them. And after that his brothers talked with him.
Izljubi zatim svu svoju braću, u naručju im se rasplaka. Poslije toga njegova braća zađu s njim u razgovor.
16 And the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brothers have come. And it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
Glas se pročuje u faraonovu dvoru: “Stigla Josipova braća!” Bilo je to drago faraonu i njegovim dvoranima.
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to thy brothers, This do ye: Load your beasts, and go, get you to the land of Canaan,
Onda faraon reče Josipu: “Kaži svojoj braći neka učine ovo: 'Natovarite svoje živine i odmah se uputite u zemlju kanaansku.
18 and take your father and your households, and come to me. And I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
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.'
19 Now thou are commanded, this do ye: Take wagons for you out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
A naredi i ovo: 'Ovako učinite: Iz zemlje egipatske potjerajte kola za svoju djecu i svoje žene, uzmite oca i dođite.
20 Also do not regard your stuff, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
Neka vam se oči ne rastužuju za vašim stvarima, jer sve što je u Egiptu najbolje bit će vaše.'”
21 And the sons of Israel did so. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Sinovi Izraelovi tako učine. Po faraonovoj zapovijedi Josip im dade kola i popudbinu.
22 He gave to all of them, each man, changes of raiment, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
Svakom od njih dade nove haljine, a Benjaminu dade tri stotine srebrnika i petore haljine.
23 And he sent to his father according to this manner: ten donkeys laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-donkeys laden with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.
Isto tako pošalje svome ocu: deset magaraca natovarenih najboljim plodovima egipatskim i deset magarica natovarenih žitom, kruhom i namirnicama ocu za put.
24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. And he said to them, See that ye not fall out by the way.
Isprativši svoju braću na put, reče im: “Nemojte se putem svađati!”
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.
I tako oni odoše iz Egipta i stigoše u zemlju kanaansku, k svome ocu Jakovu.
26 And they told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them.
Kad mu rekoše: “Josip je živ i čak vlada nad svom zemljom egipatskom!”, njegovo se srce skameni jer im nije mogao vjerovati.
27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. And when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
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.
28 And Israel said, It is enough, Joseph my son is yet alive. I will go and see him before I die.
“Dosta”, reče Izrael. “Sin moj Josip još je živ! Moram poći i vidjeti ga prije nego umrem.”
