Genesis 45
1 And Joseph could not control himself before all them that stood by him, and he cried, Put every man out from me! And no man stood with him when Joseph made himself known to his brethren.
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 raised his voice in weeping; 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 brethren, I am Joseph. Does my father yet live? And his brethren 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 brethren, 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, and be not angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither, 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 these two years in the land; and yet there are five years in which there will be neither ploughing 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 So God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in 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 And 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 governor 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 Haste 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, tarry 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 shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near to me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, and thy sheep, and thy cattle, and all that thou hast.
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 maintain thee; for yet there are five years of famine; in order that thou be not impoverished, thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast.
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 which speaks to you.
Ta svojim očima možete vidjeti, kao što vidi i moj brat Benjamin, da vam to moja usta govore.
13 And tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen, and haste and bring down my father hither.
Pripovjedite ocu o mome visokom položaju u Egiptu i sve što ste vidjeli; i brzo mi ovamo oca dovedite!”
14 And he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept on his neck.
Potom zagrli brata Benjamina te zaplaka; a plakao je i Benjamin obisnuvši mu oko vrata.
15 And he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them; and after that his brethren 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 was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come. And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his bondmen.
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 brethren, Do this: load your beasts and depart, go into 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 And thou art commanded — this do: take waggons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and take up 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 And let not your eye regret your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt shall be 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 waggons, 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 To each one of them all he gave changes of clothing; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred [pieces] of silver and five changes of clothing.
Svakom od njih dade nove haljine, a Benjaminu dade tri stotine srebrnika i petore haljine.
23 And to his father he sent this: ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread, and food 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 And he sent his brethren away, and they departed. And he said to them, Do not quarrel on 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 still alive, and he is governor 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 spoke to him all the words of Joseph, which he had spoken to them. And he saw the waggons that Joseph had sent to carry him. And 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.”
