Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, “Send everyone away from me!” So none of them were with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers.
Tada Josif ne moguæi se uzdržati pred ostalima koji stajahu oko njega, povika: izaðite svi napolje. Tako ne osta niko kod njega kad se Josif pokaza braæi svojoj.
2 But he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household soon heard of it.
Pa briznu plakati tako da èuše Misirci, èu i dom Faraonov.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But they were unable to answer him, because they were terrified in his presence.
I reèe Josif braæi svojoj: ja sam Josif; je li mi otac još u životu? Ali mu braæa ne mogahu odgovoriti, jer se prepadoše od njega.
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near me.” And they did so. “I am Joseph, your brother,” he said, “the one you sold into Egypt!
A Josif reèe braæi svojoj: pristupite bliže k meni. I pristupiše; a on reèe: ja sam Josif brat vaš, kojega prodadoste u Misir.
5 And now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves that you sold me into this place, because it was to save lives that God sent me before you.
A sada nemojte žaliti niti se kajati što me prodadoste ovamo, jer Bog mene posla pred vama radi života vašega.
6 For the famine has covered the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting.
Jer je veæ dvije godine dana glad u zemlji, a biæe još pet godina, gdje neæe biti ni oranja ni žetve.
7 God sent me before you to preserve you as a remnant on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
A Bog me posla pred vama, da vas saèuva na zemlji i da vam izbavi život izbavljanjem prevelikim.
8 Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God, who has made me a father to Pharaoh—lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
I tako nijeste me vi opravili ovamo nego sam Bog, koji me postavi ocem Faraonu i gospodarem od svega doma njegova i starješinom nad svom zemljom Misirskom.
9 Now return quickly to my father and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me without delay.
Vratite se brže k ocu mojemu i kažite mu: ovako veli sin tvoj Josif: Bog me je postavio gospodarem svemu Misiru, hodi k meni, nemoj oklijevati.
10 You shall settle in the land of Goshen and be near me—you and your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and everything you own.
Sjedjeæeš u zemlji Gesemskoj i biæeš blizu mene, ti i sinovi tvoji i sinovi sinova tvojih, i ovce tvoje i goveda tvoja i što je god tvoje.
11 And there I will provide for you, because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise, you and your household and everything you own will come to destitution.’
I ja æu te hraniti ondje, jer æe još pet godina biti glad, da ne pogineš od gladi ti i dom tvoj i što je god tvoje.
12 Behold! You and my brother Benjamin can see that I, Joseph, am the one speaking with you.
A eto vidite oèima svojima, i brat moj Venijamin svojima oèima, da vam ja iz usta govorim.
13 Tell my father about all my splendor in Egypt and everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”
Kažite ocu mojemu svu slavu moju u Misiru i što ste god vidjeli; pohitajte i dovedite ovamo oca mojega.
14 Then Joseph threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept as they embraced.
Tada pade oko vrata Venijaminu bratu svojemu i plaka. I Venijamin plaka o vratu njegovu.
15 Joseph kissed each of his brothers as he wept over them. And afterward his brothers talked with him.
I izljubi svu braæu svoju i isplaka se nad njima. Potom se braæa njegova razgovarahu s njim.
16 When the news reached Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.
I èu se glas u kuæi Faraonovoj, i rekoše: doðoše braæa Josifu. I milo bi Faraonu i slugama njegovijem;
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do as follows: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan.
I reèe Faraon Josifu: kaži braæi svojoj: ovako uèinite: natovarite magarce svoje, pa idite i vratite se u zemlju Hanansku,
18 Then bring your father and your families and return to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat from the fat of the land.’
Pa uzmite oca svojega i èeljad svoju, i doðite k meni, i daæu vam najbolje što ima u zemlji Misirskoj, i ješæete najbolje obilje ove zemlje.
19 You are also directed to tell them: ‘Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your young children and your wives, and bring your father and come back.
A ti im zapovjedi: ovako uèinite: uzmite sa sobom iz zemlje Misirske kola za djecu svoju i za žene svoje, i povezite oca svojega i doðite ovamo;
20 But pay no regard to your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”
A na pokuæstvo svoje ne gledajte, jer što ima najbolje u svoj zemlji Misirskoj vaše je.
21 So the sons of Israel did as they were told. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had instructed, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.
I sinovi Izrailjevi uèiniše tako; i Josif im dade kola po zapovijesti Faraonovoj; dade im i brašnjenice na put.
22 He gave new garments to each of them, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.
I svakome dade po dvoje haljine, a Venijaminu dade trista srebrnika i petore haljine.
23 And he sent to his father the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provisions for his father’s journey.
A ocu svojemu posla još deset magaraca natovarenijeh najljepšijeh stvari što ima u Misiru, i deset magarica natovarenijeh žita i hljeba i jestiva ocu na put.
24 Then Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way!”
Tako opravi braæu svoju, i poðoše; i reèe im: nemojte se koriti putem.
25 So the brothers went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.
Tako se vratiše iz Misira, i doðoše u zemlju Hanansku k Jakovu ocu svojemu.
26 “Joseph is still alive,” they said, “and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!” But Jacob was stunned, for he did not believe them.
I javiše mu i rekoše: još je živ Josif, i zapovjeda nad svom zemljom Misirskom. A u njemu srce prenemože, jer im ne vjerovaše.
27 However, when they relayed all that Joseph had told them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob was revived.
Ali kad mu kazaše sve rijeèi Josifove, koje im je Josif rekao, i vidje kola, koja posla Josif po oca, tada oživje duh Jakova oca njihova;
28 “Enough!” declared Israel. “My son Joseph is still alive! I will go to see him before I die.”
I reèe Izrailj: dosta mi je kad je još živ sin moj Josif; idem da ga vidim dokle nijesam umro.
