Genesis 47

1 Then came Ioseph and tolde Pharaoh, and sayde, My father, and my brethren, and their sheepe, and their cattell, and all that they haue, are come out of the land of Canaan, and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.

Potem je prišel Jožef in povedal faraonu ter rekel: »Moj oče, moji bratje, njihovi tropi, njihove črede in vse, kar imajo, so prišli iz kánaanske dežele. Glej, v gošenski deželi so.«

2 And Ioseph tooke part of his brethren, euen fiue men, and presented them vnto Pharaoh.

Vzel je nekatere izmed svojih bratov, pet mož in jih predstavil faraonu.

3 Then Pharaoh said vnto his brethren, What is your trade? And they answered Pharaoh, Thy seruants are shepheards, both we and our fathers.

Faraon je njegovim bratom rekel: »Kakšen je vaš poklic?« Faraonu so odgovorili: »Tvoji služabniki so pastirji, tako mi, kakor tudi naši očetje.«

4 They sayde moreouer vnto Pharaoh, For to soiourne in ye lande are we come: for thy seruants haue no pasture for their sheepe, so sore is ye famine in the lande of Canaan. Nowe therefore, we pray thee, let thy seruants dwel in the land of Goshen.

Poleg tega so faraonu rekli: »Zato smo prišli, da začasno prebivamo v deželi, kajti tvoji služabniki nimajo pašnika za svoje trope, kajti huda lakota je v kánaanski deželi. Sedaj te torej prosimo, naj tvoji služabniki prebivajo v gošenski deželi.«

5 Then spake Pharaoh to Ioseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come vnto thee.

Faraon je Jožefu spregovoril, rekoč: »Tvoj oče in tvoji bratje so prišli k tebi.

6 The lande of Egypt is before thee: in the best place of the land make thy father and thy brethren dwel: let the dwel in the land of Goshen: and if thou knowest that there be men of actiuitie among them, make them rulers ouer my cattell.

Egiptovska dežela je pred teboj. V najboljši deželi pripravi svojemu očetu in bratom, da prebivajo. V gošenski deželi naj prebivajo in če poznaš med njimi katerekoli marljive ljudi, potem jih naredi gospodarje nad mojo živino.«

7 Ioseph also brought Iaakob his father, and set him before Pharaoh. And Iaakob saluted Pharaoh.

Jožef je privedel svojega očeta Jakoba in ga postavil pred faraona in Jakob je blagoslovil faraona.

8 Then Pharaoh sayde vnto Iaakob, Howe olde art thou?

Faraon je Jakobu rekel: »Koliko si star?«

9 And Iaakob sayd vnto Pharaoh, The whole time of my pilgrimage is an hundreth and thirty yeeres: fewe and euill haue the dayes of my life bene, and I haue not attayned vnto the yeeres of the life of my fathers, in the dayes of their pilgrimages.

Jakob je faraonu rekel: »Dni let mojega popotovanja je sto trideset let. Malo in zli so bili dnevi let mojega življenja in nisem dosegel dni let življenja svojih očetov v dneh njihovega popotovanja.«

10 And Iaakob tooke leaue of Pharaoh, and departed from the presence of Pharaoh.

Jakob je blagoslovil faraona in odšel izpred faraona.

11 And Ioseph placed his father, and his brethren, and gaue them possession in the lande of Egypt, in the best of the land, euen in the lande of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

Jožef je namestil svojega očeta in svoje brate ter jim dal posest v egiptovski deželi, v najboljšem delu dežele, v Ramesésovi deželi, kakor je faraon zapovedal.

12 And Ioseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his fathers houshold with bread, euen to the yong children.

Jožef je vzdrževal svojega očeta, svoje brate in vso družino svojega očeta s kruhom, glede na njihove družine.

13 Now there was no bread in all the land: for the famine was exceeding sore: so that the land of Egypt, and the land of Canaan were famished by reason of the famine.

In ni bilo kruha v vsej deželi, kajti lakota je bila zelo huda, tako da je egiptovska dežela in vsa kánaanska dežela zaradi lakote slabela.

14 And Ioseph gathered all the money, that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corne which they bought, and Ioseph layd vp the money in Pharaohs house.

Jožef je zbral ves denar, ki se je našel v egiptovski deželi in v kánaanski deželi, za žito, ki so ga kupovali. In Jožef je denar prinesel v faraonovo hišo.

15 So when money fayled in the lande of Egypt, and in the lande of Canaan, then all the Egyptians came vnto Ioseph, and sayde, Giue vs bread: for why should we dye before thee? for our money is spent.

Ko pa je v egiptovski deželi in v kánaanski deželi zmanjkalo denarja, so vsi Egipčani prišli k Jožefu in rekli: »Daj nam kruha, kajti zakaj bi umrli v tvoji prisotnosti? Kajti denarja je zmanjkalo.«

16 Then saide Ioseph, Bring your cattell, and I will giue you for your cattell, if your money be spent.

Jožef je rekel: »Dajte svojo živino in jaz vam bom dal za vašo živino, če je denarja zmanjkalo.«

17 So they brought their cattell vnto Ioseph, and Ioseph gaue them bread for the horses, and for the flockes of sheepe, and for the heards of cattel, and for the asses: so he fed them with bread for all their cattell that yeere.

Svojo živino so privedli k Jožefu in Jožef jim je dal kruha v zameno za konje in za trope in za živino od čred in za osle in to leto jih je nahranil s kruhom za vso njihovo živino.

18 But when the yeere was ended, they came vnto him the next yeere, and sayd vnto him, We will not hide from my lord, that since our money is spent, and my lord hath the heards of the cattel, there is nothing left in the sight of my lorde, but our bodies and our ground.

Ko je bilo to leto končano, so prišli k njemu drugo leto in mu rekli: » Tega ne bomo skrivali pred mojim gospodom, da je naš denar porabljen. Moj gospod ima tudi naše črede in živino. Sploh ni veliko ostalo v očeh mojega gospoda, razen naših teles in naših zemljišč.

19 Why shall we perish in thy sight, both we, and our land? bye vs and our land for bread, and we and our land will be bonde to Pharaoh: therefore giue vs seede, that we may liue and not dye, and that the land go not to waste.

Zakaj bi umrli pred tvojimi očmi, tako mi kakor naša dežela? Kupi nas in našo deželo za kruh, pa bomo mi in naša dežela služabniki faraonu. Daj nam seme, da bomo lahko živeli in ne umrli, da dežela ne bo zapuščena.«

20 So Ioseph bought all the lande of Egypt for Pharaoh: for the Egyptians solde euery man his ground because the famine was sore vpon the: so the land became Pharaohs.

Jožef je vso egiptovsko deželo kupil za faraona, kajti Egipčani so prodali vsak človek svoje polje, ker je nad njimi prevladala lakota in tako je dežela postala faraonova.

21 And he remoued the people vnto the cities, from one side of Egypt euen to the other.

Kar se tiče ljudstva, jih je premestil v mesta, od enega konca egiptovskih meja, celo do drugega njegovega konca.

22 Onely the lande of the Priestes bought he not: for the Priestes had an ordinarie of Pharaoh, and they did eate their ordinarie, which Pharaoh gaue them: wherefore they solde not their grounde.

Samo zemljišč duhovnikov ni pokupil, kajti duhovniki so imeli od faraona njim določen delež in jedli svoj delež, ki jim ga je faraon dajal, zato svojih zemljišč niso prodali.

23 Then Ioseph sayd vnto the people, Behold, I haue bought you this daye, and your lande for Pharaoh: lo, here is seede for you: sowe therefore the grounde.

Potem je Jožef rekel ljudstvu: »Glejte, danes sem kupil vas in vašo deželo za faraona. Glejte, tukaj je seme za vas in vi boste posejali deželo.

24 And of the encrease ye shall giue the fifth part vnto Pharaoh, and foure partes shalbe yours for the seede of the fielde, and for your meate, and for them of your housholdes, and for your children to eate.

Z donosom se bo zgodilo, da boste peti del dali faraonu, štirje deli pa bodo vaši lastni, za seme polja in za vašo hrano in za tiste iz vaših družin in za hrano za vaše malčke.«

25 Then they answered, Thou hast saued our liues: let vs finde grace in the sight of my Lord, and we will be Pharaohs seruants.

Rekli so: »Rešil si naša življenja. Naj najdemo milost v očeh mojega gospoda, mi pa bomo faraonovi služabniki.«

26 Then Ioseph made it a lawe ouer the land of Egypt vnto this day, that Pharaoh should haue the fift part, except the land of the priests only, which was not Pharaohs.

Jožef je to naredil v egiptovski deželi [za] zakon do današnjega dne, da bo imel faraon peti del, razen dežele duhovnikov, ki ni postala faraonova.

27 And Israel dwelt in the lande of Egypt, in the countrey of Goshen: and they had their possessions therein, and grewe and multiplied exceedingly.

Izrael je prebival v egiptovski deželi, v pokrajini Gošen in v njej so imeli posesti in rastli ter se silno pomnožili.

28 Moreouer, Iaakob liued in the lande of Egypt seuenteene yeeres, so that the whole age of Iaakob was an hundreth fourtie and seuen yeere.

Jakob je v egiptovski deželi živel sedemnajst let. Tako je bila celotna Jakobova starost sto sedeminštirideset let.

29 Now when the time drewe neere that Israel must dye, he called his sonne Ioseph, and sayde vnto him, If I haue nowe founde grace in thy sight, put thine hand nowe vnder my thigh, and deale mercifully and truely with me: burie me not, I pray thee, in Egypt.

Približal se je čas, ko je Izrael moral umreti in poklical je svojega sina Jožefa ter mu rekel: »Če sem sedaj našel milost v tvojem pogledu, položi, prosim te, svojo roko pod moje stegno ter z menoj postopaj dobrotljivo in iskreno. Ne pokoplji me, prosim te, v Egiptu,

30 But when I shall sleepe with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury mee in their buryall. And he answered, I will doe as thou hast sayde.

temveč hočem ležati s svojimi očeti in ti me boš odnesel iz Egipta in me pokopal na njihovem grobišču.« Rekel je: »Storil bom kakor si rekel.«

31 The he said, Sweare vnto me. And he sware vnto him. And Israel worshipped towardes the beds head.

Rekel je: »Prisezi mi.« In prisegel mu je. In Izrael se je priklonil na vzglavju postelje.
