Genesis 47
1 Joseph went to report to Pharaoh and told him, “My father and brothers, along with their flocks and herds and all their possessions, have arrived from the land of Canaan and now they're here in Goshen.”
Ode, dakle, Josip te obavijesti faraona: “Moj otac i moja braća stigoše sa svojim ovcama i govedima i sa svime što imaju iz zemlje kanaanske, i eno ih u gošenskom kraju.”
2 Joseph took five of his brothers to go with him and introduced them to Pharaoh.
I uzevši petoricu između svoje braće, uvede ih faraonu.
3 Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What work do you do?” “Your servants are shepherds, just like our fathers before us,” they replied.
Onda faraon zapita njegovu braću: “Čime se bavite?” Odgovore faraonu: “Tvoje su sluge stočari, baš kao što su bili naši preci.
4 “We have come to live in Egypt because there's no grass left in Canaan for our flocks to eat,” they explained. “The famine is really bad in Canaan. So we would like to please ask permission to live in Goshen.”
Došli smo da potražimo kratak boravak u ovoj zemlji”, rekoše faraonu, “jer je nestalo paše za stada tvojih slugu, strašna glad pritište kanaansku zemlju. Dopusti da se tvoje sluge nastane u gošenskom kraju.”
5 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have arrived to join you,
[5a] Faraon reče Josipu: [6b] “Neka se, dakle, nastane u gošenskom kraju. A ako znaš da među njima ima prikladnih, postavi ih za nadglednike moga osobnog blaga.” [5b] Tako, kad Jakov i njegovi sinovi stigoše u Egipat i kad faraon, kralj egipatski, to ču, reče Josipu: “Budući da su tvoj otac i tvoja braća došli k tebi,
6 you can choose wherever you like in Egypt, the best place, for them to live. Let them live in Goshen. If you know any of them who are good at what they do, put them in charge of my livestock as well.”
[6a] egipatska ti je zemlja na raspolaganju: smjesti svoga oca i svoju braću u najboljem kraju.”
7 Then Joseph went with his father Jacob and introduced him Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed Pharaoh,
Josip onda dovede svoga oca Jakova faraonu. Jakov blagoslovi faraona.
8 Pharaoh asked him, “So how long have you lived?”
A faraon upita Jakova: “Koliko ti je godina?”
9 “I have been wandering for 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My life has been short and difficult—I have not lived as long as my forefathers who also wandered from place to place.”
Jakov odgovori faraonu: “Godina moga lutalačkog življenja ima stotina i trideset. Malo ih je i nesretne su bile godine moga života; ne dostižu brojem godine življenja na zemlji mojih otaca.”
10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh again before leaving him.
Poslije toga Jakov se oprosti s faraonom i ode od njega.
11 So Joseph arranged for his father and brothers to live in Egypt and gave them land in the best part near Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.
Tako Josip nastani svoga oca i svoju braću davši im u vlasništvo najljepši kraj egipatske zemlje, u kraju Ramsesovu, kako je faraon naredio.
12 He also provided food for all of them—his father, his brothers, and his father's whole household—depending on family size.
A Josip opskrbi hranom svoga oca, svoju braću i svu očevu obitelj sve do najmanjega.
13 No food was left in the whole country because the famine had become so bad. Throughout Egypt and Canaan people were starving.
Nigdje nije bilo hrane jer je pritisla strašna glad: izmuči ona i zemlju egipatsku i zemlju kanaansku.
14 By selling grain Joseph collected all the money in Egypt and Canaan, and placed it in Pharaoh's treasury.
Josip pobra sav novac što se nalazio u zemlji egipatskoj i zemlji kanaanskoj u zamjenu za žito koje se prodavalo i odnese novac u faraonov dvor.
15 Once the money from Egypt and Canaan had run out, the Egyptians all came to Joseph and demanded, “Give us food! Do you want us to die right in front of you? All our money is gone!”
Kad je nestalo novca u zemlji egipatskoj i zemlji kanaanskoj, svi Egipćani dođu k Josipu te mu reknu: “Daj nam kruha! Zašto da pomremo pred tvojim očima? Novca više nema.”
16 “Bring me your livestock,” Joseph told them. “I'll give you grain in exchange for your livestock if you've run out of money.”
Josip odgovori: “Predajte svoju stoku pa ću vam dati žita u zamjenu za stoku kad je novca nestalo.”
17 So they brought Joseph their livestock, and he provided them with grain in exchange for their horses, sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. He gave them grain in return for their livestock during that year.
Tako su oni dovodili svoju stoku Josipu, a Josip im davaše kruh u zamjenu za konje, za sitnu i krupnu stoku i za magarad. Tako ih je one godine opskrbljivao kruhom u zamjenu za sve njihovo blago.
18 But when that year was over, they came to him the next year and said, “My lord, we can't hide from you the fact that our money is gone and that you now own our livestock. All we have left to give you are our bodies and our land.
Kad je ona godina prošla, dođu k njemu i druge godine te mu reknu: “Ne možemo sakriti od svoga gospodara: novca je nestalo, blaga su već ustupljena gospodaru; drugo ništa ne preostaje da gospodaru ustupimo nego sebe i svoje oranice.
19 Do you want us to die right in front of you? So buy us and our land in return for food. Then our land will belong to Pharaoh, and we'll be his slaves. Just give us grain so we can live and won't die, and so the land won't be abandoned.”
Zašto da uništimo na tvoje oči i sebe i svoje zemlje? Uzmi i nas i naše zemlje u zakup za kruh, i tako ćemo zajedno sa svojom zemljom postati faraonovi kmetovi; daj sjemena da preživimo: da ne izginemo i da nam oranice ne postanu pustoš!”
20 So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. Each and every Egyptian sold their fields, because the famine was hurting them so badly. The land ended up being owned by Pharaoh,
Tako Josip steče faraonu u posjed sve egipatske oranice, jer je svaki Egipćanin, kako ih pritisnu glad, prodao svoje njive. Tako je zemlja postala faraonovo vlasništvo,
21 and all the people became his slaves, from one end of Egypt to the other.
a narod od jednog kraja Egipta do drugoga njegovim robljem.
22 The only land he didn't buy belonged to the priests because they had a food allowance provided to them by Pharaoh, so they didn't have to sell their land.
Jedino nije preuzeo svećeničkih imanja, jer je faraon davao svećenicima određeni dio, i tako su živjeli od prihoda što im ga je faraon davao. Stoga nisu prodali svojih imanja.
23 Then Joseph told the people, “Listen to me! Now that I have bought you and your land for Pharaoh, I'm giving you some seed for you to sow the fields.
Onda Josip reče svijetu: “Budući da sam danas za faraona prekupio i vas i vašu zemlju, evo vam sjeme pa zasijte zemlju.
24 However, when it's harvested, you have to give one fifth of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you can keep as seed for the fields and as food for you, your households, and your children.”
A kad bude pobiranje ljetine, faraonu ćete davati jednu petinu, dok će četiri petine ostajati vama: za zasijavanje polja, za hranu vama i onima koji su u vašim domovima i za hranu vašoj djeci.”
25 “You've saved our lives,” they declared. “May you continue to treat us well, my lord, and we'll be Pharaoh's slaves.”
Oni odgovore: “Život si nam spasio! Mi smo zahvalni svome gospodaru što možemo biti faraonovi robovi.”
26 So Joseph made it a law for Egypt which is still is in effect today that one fifth of all produce from the land belongs to Pharaoh. Only the priests' land was exempt since it did not belong to Pharaoh.
Tako Josip napravi za Egipat zemljišni zakon koji i danas vrijedi: petina pripada faraonu; jedino svećenička imanja nisu prešla faraonu.
27 The Israelites settled in Goshen in Egypt where they became prosperous landowners and rapidly increased in number.
Izraelci se nastaniše u zemlji egipatskoj, u kraju gošenskom; u njem stekoše vlasništvo; bijahu rodni i broj im se veoma umnoži.
28 Jacob lived in Egypt for seventeen years, so he lived in total 137 years.
U zemlji egipatskoj poživje Jakov sedamnaest godina. Tako je duljina Jakovljeva života iznosila sto četrdeset i sedam godina.
29 When the time came for Israel to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “If you think well of me, place your hand under my thigh and promise to treat me with trustworthy love and faithfulness. Don't bury me here in Egypt.
A kad se približi vrijeme Izraelu da umre, pozva svoga sina Josipa te mu reče: “Ako mi želiš ugoditi, stavi svoju ruku pod moje stegno kao jamstvo svoje odanosti meni: nemoj me sahraniti u Egiptu!
30 When I die, bury me with my forefathers. You must take my body from Egypt to the family tomb and bury me with them.” “I will do as you say,” Joseph promised.
Kad legnem dolje sa svojim ocima, prenesi me iz Egipta gore i sahrani me u njihovu grobnicu!” “Učinit ću kako si rekao”, odgovori.
31 “Swear to me that you will,” he said. Joseph swore that he would. Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.
“Zakuni mi se!” - reče. I on mu se zakle. Tada se Izrael duboko prignu na uzglavlju.
