Genesis 41
1 After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,
Poslije dvije godine usnu faraon da stoji pokraj Nila.
2 when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
Iz Nila iziđe sedam krava, lijepih i debelih; pasle su po šašu.
3 After them, seven other cows, sickly and thin, came up from the Nile and stood beside the well-fed cows on the bank of the river.
Ali odmah poslije njih iz Nila iziđe sedam drugih krava, ružnih i mršavih, te stanu uz one krave na obali Nila.
4 And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,
Ružne i mršave krave požderu ono sedam lijepih i pretilih, i uto se faraon probudi.
5 but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.
Opet zaspi te usnu drugi san: sedam punih i jedrih klasova izraste na jednoj stabljici.
6 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.
Ali, eto, poslije njih uzraste sedam klasova šturih, istočnjakom opaljenih.
7 And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.
Šturi klasovi proždru sedam jedrih i punih klasova. I faraon se probudi, i gle: bio je to san.
8 In the morning his spirit was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
Ujutro faraon bijaše uznemiren u duši, pa pozva sve čarobnjake i sve mudrace egipatske: ispriča im faraon svoje sne, ali mu ih nitko nije mogao protumačiti.
9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures.
Onda progovori faraonov glavni peharnik: “Moram danas spomenuti jedan svoj propust.
10 Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.
Jednom, kad se faraon razljutio na svoje službenike, mene i glavnog pekara stavio je u zatvor u zgradi glavnog upravitelja.
11 One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.
Usnusmo san iste noći, i ja i on, ali je svaki od nas usnuo san drugog značenja.
12 Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams and he interpreted them for us individually.
Onda je s nama bio neki mladi Hebrej, sluga zapovjednika straže. Ispričasmo njemu svoje sne, a on nam ih protumači: kaza svakom značenje njegova sna.
13 And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged.”
Kako nam ih je protumačio, tako nam se i dogodilo: mene vratiše na moje mjesto, a onoga objesiše.”
14 So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, who was quickly brought out of the dungeon. After he had shaved and changed his clothes, he went in before Pharaoh.
Faraon odmah pošalje po Josipa; izvuku ga brže-bolje iz tamnice; ošišaju mu kosu, obuku novo odijelo i on stupi pred faraona.
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
Onda faraon reče Josipu: “Usnuo sam san, a nitko ga ne može protumačiti. Čuo sam o tebi da možeš protumačiti san čim ga čuješ.”
16 “I myself cannot do it,” Joseph replied, “but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer.”
“Ništa ja ne mogu”, odgovori Josip faraonu, “nego će Bog dati pravi odgovor faraonu.”
17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
Onda je faraon pripovjedao Josipu: “U svom snu stojim na obali Nila.
18 when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
I gle! Iz Nila iziđe sedam debelih i lijepih krava. Pasle su po šašu.
19 After them, seven other cows—sickly, ugly, and thin—came up. I have never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!
Poslije njih izađe drugih sedam krava. Bile su mršave, vrlo ružne i koštunjave. Još nikad ne vidjeh onako ružnih krava u svoj zemlji egipatskoj!
20 Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.
I sedam mršavih i ružnih krava proždru prvih sedam debelih krava.
21 When they had devoured them, however, no one could tell that they had done so; their appearance was as ugly as it had been before. Then I awoke.
Pa iako su ih progutale, nije se vidjelo da im je što u trbuhu: bile su ružne kao i prije. Uto se probudim.
22 In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, growing on a single stalk.
Zatim sam u snu vidio kako na jednoj stabljici uzraste sedam punih i lijepih klasova.
23 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.
Ali poslije njih uzraste sedam klasova zgrčenih, šturih, istočnjakom opaljenih.
24 And the thin heads of grain swallowed the seven plump ones. I told this dream to the magicians, but no one could explain it to me.”
I šturi klasovi proždru sedam jedrih klasova. Kazao sam ovo i vračarima, ali nema nikoga da mi razjasni.”
25 At this, Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what He is about to do.
Onda Josip reče faraonu: “Faraonov je san samo jedan: Bog javlja faraonu što kani učiniti.
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads of grain are seven years. The dreams have the same meaning.
Sedam lijepih krava, to je sedam godina; sedam lijepih klasova opet je sedam godina. Tako je samo jedan san.
27 Moreover, the seven thin, ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind—they are seven years of famine.
Sedam mršavih i ružnih krava poslije njih, a tako i sedam praznih, istočnjakom opaljenih klasova, označuje sedam gladnih godina.
28 It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
To je ono što sam već faraonu rekao: Bog objavljuje faraonu što kani učiniti.
29 Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,
Dolazi, evo, sedam godina velikog obilja svoj zemlji egipatskoj.
30 but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will devastate the land.
A poslije njih nastat će sedam gladnih godina, kada će se zaboraviti sve obilje u zemlji egipatskoj.
31 The abundance in the land will not be remembered, since the famine that follows it will be so severe.
Kako glad bude harala zemljom, neće se ni znati da je u zemlji bilo obilje - zbog gladi koja će doći - jer će biti vrlo velika.
32 Moreover, because the dream was given to Pharaoh in two versions, the matter has been decreed by God, and He will carry it out shortly.
A što se faraonov san ponovio, znači da se Bog na to zaista odlučio i da će to uskoro provesti.
33 Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.
Zato neka faraon izabere sposobna i mudra čovjeka te ga postavi nad zemljom egipatskom.
34 Let Pharaoh take action and appoint commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
Nadalje, neka se faraon pobrine da postavi nadglednika u zemlji koji će kÓupiti petinu sve žetve u zemlji egipatskoj za sedam godina obilja.
35 Under the authority of Pharaoh, let them collect all the excess food from these good years, that they may come and lay up the grain to be preserved as food in the cities.
Neka skupljaju od svakog žita za sedam dobrih godina što dolaze; neka s ovlaštenjem faraonovim sabiru žito za hranu i pohranjuju ga po gradovima.
36 This food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine to come upon the land of Egypt. Then the country will not perish in the famine.”
Neka zalihe služe za hranu u zemlji za sedam godina gladi što će snaći zemlju egipatsku, tako da za gladi zemlja ne propadne.”
37 This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his officials.
Svidje se odgovor faraonu i svim njegovim službenicima.
38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?”
Zato faraon reče svojim službenicima: “Zar bismo mogli naći drugoga kao što je on, čovjeka koji bi bio tako obdaren duhom Božjim?”
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
A onda faraon reče Josipu: “Otkako je sve to Bog tebi otkrio, nikoga nema sposobna i mudra kao što si ti.
40 You shall be in charge of my house, and all my people are to obey your commands. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”
Ti ćeš biti upravitelj moga dvora: sav će se moj narod pokoravati tvojim naredbama. Jedino prijestoljem ja ću biti veći od tebe.
41 Pharaoh also told Joseph, “I hereby place you over all the land of Egypt.”
Postavljam te, evo,” reče faraon Josipu, “nad svom zemljom egipatskom.”
42 Then Pharaoh removed the signet ring from his finger, put it on Joseph’s finger, clothed him in garments of fine linen, and placed a gold chain around his neck.
Poslije toga skine faraon sa svoje ruke pečatni prsten i stavi ga Josipu na ruku. Zatim zaodjene Josipa odjećom od najljepše tkanine, a o vrat mu objesi zlatan lanac.
43 He had Joseph ride in his second chariot, with men calling out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he placed him over all the land of Egypt.
Vozio se on u kolima kao njegov zamjenik, a pred njim klicahu: “Abrek! Na koljena!” Tako ga postavi nad svu zemlju egipatsku.
44 And Pharaoh declared to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your permission, no one in all the land of Egypt shall lift his hand or foot.”
Još faraon reče Josipu: “Premda sam ja faraon, neće nitko dići svoje ruke ni noge bez tvog odobrenja u svoj zemlji egipatskoj.”
45 Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-paneah, and he gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph took charge of all the land of Egypt.
Faraon nazva Josipa “Safenat Paneah”, a za ženu mu dade Asenatu, kćer Poti-Fere, svećenika u Onu. I Josip postade poznat po zemlji egipatskoj.
46 Now Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph left Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout the land of Egypt.
Josipu je bilo trideset godina kad je stupio u službu faraona, kralja egipatskog. A otišavši Josip ispred faraona, putovao je po svoj zemlji egipatskoj.
47 During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.
Za sedam rodnih godina zemlja je rađala u obilju;
48 During those seven years, Joseph collected all the excess food in the land of Egypt and stored it in the cities. In every city he laid up the food from the fields around it.
on je - u tih sedam godina što ih je egipatska zemlja uživala - kÓupio od različite ljetine i hranu pohranjivao u gradove, smještajući u svakom gradu urod iz okolnih polja.
49 So Joseph stored up grain in such abundance, like the sand of the sea, that he stopped keeping track of it; for it was beyond measure.
Tako Josip nagomila mnogo žita, kao pijeska u moru, pa ga prestade i mjeriti jer mu mjere ne bijaše.
50 Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
Dok još ne nasta gladna godina, Josip imade dva sina koje mu rodi Asenata, kći Poti-Fere, svećenika u Onu.
51 Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s household.”
Prvorođencu Josip nadjenu ime Manaše, “jer Bog je”, reče, “dao te sam zaboravio svoje teškoće i svoj očinski dom.”
52 And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
Drugomu nadjenu ime Efrajim, “jer Bog me”, reče, “učinio rodnim u zemlji moje nevolje.”
53 When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,
Sedam godina obilja koje je uživala zemlja egipatska dođe kraju,
54 the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. And although there was famine in every country, there was food throughout the land of Egypt.
a primače se sedam gladnih godina, kako je Josip prorekao. U svim zemljama bijaše glad, a u svoj zemlji egipatskoj bijaše kruha.
55 When extreme hunger came to all the land of Egypt and the people cried out to Pharaoh for food, he told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you.”
A kad je i sva zemlja egipatska osjetila glad, puk zavapi faraonu za kruh; a faraon reče Egipćanima: “Idite k Josipu i što god vam rekne, činite!”
56 When the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened up all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians; for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
Kad se glad proširi po svoj zemlji, Josip rastvori skladišta te je Egipćane opskrbljivao žitom, jer je glad postala žestoka i u zemlji egipatskoj.
57 And every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
Sav je svijet išao u Egipat k Josipu da kupuje žita, jer je strašna glad vladala po svem svijetu.
