Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
A Jakov se bijaše nastanio u zemlji gdje je njegov otac boravio kao pridošlica - u zemlji kanaanskoj.
2 These [are] the generations of Jacob. Joseph, [being] seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad [was] with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
Evo nasljedstva Jakovljeva. Kao mladić, u dobi od sedamnaest godina, Josip je čuvao stada sa svojom braćom, sinovima Bilhe i Zilpe, koje bijahu žene njegova oca. Josip je ocu svome donosio zle glasove o njima.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he [was] the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of [many] colours.
Izrael je volio Josipa više nego ijednog svoga sina jer je bio dijete njegove staračke dobi; i on mu napravi kićenu haljinu.
4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
Kako njegova braća opaze da ga njihov otac voli više od svih drugih svojih sinova, zamrze ga toliko da mu nisu mogli ni prijaznu riječ progovoriti.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told [it] his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
Jednom Josip usni san i kaza ga svojoj braći, a oni ga zbog toga još više zamrze.
6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
“Poslušajte”, reče im, “san što sam ga usnio!
7 For, behold, we [were] binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
Pomislite! Vezali smo nasred polja snopove, kadli se najednom moj snop uspravi i stade uzgor. Uto se vaši snopovi okupe okolo i duboko se poklone mom snopu.”
8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
Njegova ga braća upitaše: “Kaniš li nad nama zakraljevati? Hoćeš li nam biti gospodar?” I još ga više zamrze zbog njegova pričanja o snovima.
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Usni on još jedan san te ga ispriča svojoj braći: “Još sam jedan san usnuo. Pazite! Sunce, mjesec i jedanaest zvijezda duboko mi se klanjahu!”
10 And he told [it] to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What [is] this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
Kad je to ispričao svome ocu, ukori ga otac i reče mu: “Što znači taj san što si ga usnuo? Zar ćemo doći ja, tvoja majka i tvoja braća pa ti se do zemlje klanjati?”
11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
I dok su braća od zavisti bila ljuta na nj, njegov je otac razmišljao o svemu.
12 And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
Jednom njegova braća odu čuvati očeva stada blizu Šekema.
13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed [the flock] in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here [am I].
Izrael reče Josipu: “Tvoja braća čuvaju stada kod Šekema, pa hajde da te pošaljem k njima.” On mu odgovori: “Dobro, idem.”
14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
Potom će mu otac: “Hajde i vidi kako su ti braća i stoka pa mi javi.” Tako ga otpremi iz doline Hebrona, i on stigne u Šekem.
15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, [he was] wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
Neki čovjek nađe ga gdje luta poljem pa ga upita: “Što tražiš?”
16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed [their flocks].
“Tražim braću”, odgovori. “Možeš li mi kazati gdje čuvaju stada?”
17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
A čovjek reče: “Odavde su otišli. Čuo sam ih gdje govore: 'Hajdemo u Dotan.'” Tako Josip ode za svojom braćom i nađe ih u Dotanu.
18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
Oni ga opaze izdaleka; prije nego im se približio, počnu se dogovarati da ga ubiju.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
I jedan drugom reče: “Eno stiže onaj sanjar!
20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
Hajde da ga sad ubijemo i bacimo u kakvu čatrnju! Možemo kazati da ga je proždrla divlja zvijer. Vidjet ćemo što će biti od njegovih snova!”
21 And Reuben heard [it], and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
Ali kad je to čuo Ruben, pokuša da ga izbavi iz njihovih šaka. I reče: “Nemojmo oduzimati njegova života!
22 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, [but] cast him into this pit that [is] in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
Ne prolijevajte krvi” - dalje je govorio Ruben. “Bacite ga u čatrnju u pustari; ali ne dižite na nj ruke!” Htio ga je tako izbaviti iz njihovih šaka i odvesti ocu.
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, [his] coat of [many] colours that [was] on him;
Ali kad je Josip stigao braći, oni s Josipa svuku njegovu haljinu, haljinu kićenu što je bila na njemu;
24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit [was] empty, [there was] no water in it.
pograbe ga i bace u čatrnju. Čatrnja je bila prazna; nije bilo u njoj vode.
25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry [it] down to Egypt.
Potom sjednu da ručaju. Kako podignu svoje oči, opaze povorku Jišmaelaca gdje dolazi iz Gileada. Deve su im nosile mirodije, balzam i mirisavu smolu da ih preprodaju u Egipat.
26 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit [is it] if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
Tada reče Juda svojoj braći: “Što ćemo postići ako ubijemo svog brata a krv njegovu sakrijemo?
27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he [is] our brother [and] our flesh. And his brethren were content.
Hajde da ga prodamo Jišmaelcima; ali ne dižimo na nj ruke. TÓa on je naš brat, naše meso.” Braća ga poslušaju.
28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty [pieces] of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Uto naiđu ljudi, midjanski trgovci. Braća izvuku Josipa iz čatrnje i prodaju ga za dvadeset srebrnika Jišmaelcima, a oni Josipa dovedu u Egipat.
29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph [was] not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
Kad se Ruben vratio k čatrnji i vidio da Josipa nema u čatrnji, razdere svoju odjeću.
30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child [is] not; and I, whither shall I go?
A kad se vratio svojoj braći, povika: “Dječaka nema! Kamo ću ja sad?”
31 And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
A oni uzmu Josipovu haljinu, zakolju jedno kozle i haljinu zamoče u krv.
32 And they sent the coat of [many] colours, and they brought [it] to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it [be] thy son’s coat or no.
Kićenu haljinu otpreme ocu i poruče: “Ovo smo našli; gledaj je li ovo haljina tvoga sina ili nije.”
33 And he knew it, and said, [It is] my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
Prepozna je on pa reče: “Haljina je moga sina! Divlja ga je zvijer rastrgla! Na komade je Josip rastrgan!”
34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
I razdere Jakov svoje haljine, stavi pokorničku kostrijet oko bokova i dugo vremena oplakivaše svoga sina.
35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
Svi su ga njegovi sinovi i sve njegove kćeri nastojali utješiti, ali se on ne mogaše utješiti. Govorio je: “Ne, sići ću k svome sinu u Šeol tugujući!” Tako ga je oplakivao njegov otac. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, [and] captain of the guard.
A Midjanci ga prodaju u Egipat Potifaru, dvoraninu faraonovu, zapovjedniku straže.
