Genesis 47
1 Then came Joseph and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of 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 And he took some of his brothers, five men, and presented them before Pharaoh.
I uzevši petoricu između svoje braće, uvede ih faraonu.
3 And Pharaoh said unto his brothers, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, as also our fathers.
Onda faraon zapita njegovu braću: “Čime se bavite?” Odgovore faraonu: “Tvoje su sluge stočari, baš kao što su bili naši preci.
4 They said moreover unto Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land are we come; because there is no pasture for the flocks of thy servants, for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan; and now let thy servants dwell, we pray thee, in the land of 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 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, thus, Thy father and thy brothers are come unto thee:
[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 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land let thy father and brothers dwell; let them dwell in the land of Goshen; and if thou knowest that there are among them men of activity, then appoint them rulers over my cattle.
[6a] egipatska ti je zemlja na raspolaganju: smjesti svoga oca i svoju braću u najboljem kraju.”
7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and placed him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Josip onda dovede svoga oca Jakova faraonu. Jakov blagoslovi faraona.
8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
A faraon upita Jakova: “Koliko ti je godina?”
9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one hundred and thirty years: few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
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 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
Poslije toga Jakov se oprosti s faraonom i ode od njega.
11 And Joseph assigned places of residence for his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Ra'meses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
Tako Josip nastani svoga oca i svoju braću davši im u vlasništvo najljepši kraj egipatske zemlje, u kraju Ramsesovu, kako je faraon naredio.
12 And Joseph supplied his father, and his brothers, and all his father's household, with bread, in proportion to their families.
A Josip opskrbi hranom svoga oca, svoju braću i svu očevu obitelj sve do najmanjega.
13 And there was no bread in all the land: for the famine was very sore; and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
Nigdje nije bilo hrane jer je pritisla strašna glad: izmuči ona i zemlju egipatsku i zemlju kanaansku.
14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
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 And when the money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread, for why should we die in thy presence, since the money is all 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 And Joseph said, Give up your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if the money be all gone.
Josip odgovori: “Predajte svoju stoku pa ću vam dati žita u zamjenu za stoku kad je novca nestalo.”
17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks of sheep, and for the herds of cattle, and for the asses; and he supplied them with bread for all their cattle for 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 And when that year was ended, they came unto him in the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money with our herds of cattle hath entirely passed into the possession of my lord; there is naught left in sight of my lord, but 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 Wherefore shall we die before thy eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread; and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh; and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not rendered desolate.
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 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
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 as for the people, he removed them to the cities, from one end of the borders of Egypt to the other end thereof.
a narod od jednog kraja Egipta do drugoga njegovim robljem.
22 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them by Pharaoh, and they ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them: therefore they did not 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 said Joseph unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and sow ye the land.
Onda Josip reče svijetu: “Budući da sam danas za faraona prekupio i vas i vašu zemlju, evo vam sjeme pa zasijte zemlju.
24 And it shall come to pass in the harvest times, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh; and four parts shall be your own, for the seed of the field, and for your food, and for those belonging to your households, and for food for your little ones.
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 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us but find grace in the eyes of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
Oni odgovore: “Život si nam spasio! Mi smo zahvalni svome gospodaru što možemo biti faraonovi robovi.”
26 And Joseph made it a statute unto this day over the land of Egypt, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests alone became not Pharaoh's.
Tako Josip napravi za Egipat zemljišni zakon koji i danas vrijedi: petina pripada faraonu; jedino svećenička imanja nisu prešla faraonu.
27 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
Izraelci se nastaniše u zemlji egipatskoj, u kraju gošenskom; u njem stekoše vlasništvo; bijahu rodni i broj im se veoma umnoži.
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: and the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty and seven years.
U zemlji egipatskoj poživje Jakov sedamnaest godina. Tako je duljina Jakovljeva života iznosila sto četrdeset i sedam godina.
29 And when the time of Israel drew near that he was to die, he sent to call his son Joseph, and said unto him, if now I have found grace in thy eyes, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh; and deal with me in kindness and truth; bury me not, I pray thee, 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 But when I shall lie with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying-place. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
Kad legnem dolje sa svojim ocima, prenesi me iz Egipta gore i sahrani me u njihovu grobnicu!” “Učinit ću kako si rekao”, odgovori.
31 And he said, Swear unto me; and he swore unto him; and Israel bowed himself upon the head of the bed.
“Zakuni mi se!” - reče. I on mu se zakle. Tada se Izrael duboko prignu na uzglavlju.
