Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwells in the land of his father’s sojournings—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, a son of seventeen years, has been enjoying himself with his brothers among the flock (and he [is] a youth), with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives, and Joseph brings in an account of their evil to their father.
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 And Israel has loved Joseph more than any of his sons, for he [is] a son of his old age, and has made for him a long coat;
Izrael je volio Josipa više nego ijednog svoga sina jer je bio dijete njegove staračke dobi; i on mu napravi kićenu haljinu.
4 and his brothers see that their father has loved him more than any of his brothers, and they hate him, and have not been able to speak [to] him peaceably.
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 dreams a dream, and declares to his brothers, and they add still more to hate him.
Jednom Josip usni san i kaza ga svojoj braći, a oni ga zbog toga još više zamrze.
6 And he says to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:
“Poslušajte”, reče im, “san što sam ga usnio!
7 that, behold, we are binding bundles in the midst of the field, and behold, my bundle has arisen, and has also stood up, and behold, your bundles are all around, and they bow themselves to my bundle.”
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 brothers say to him, “Do you certainly reign over us? Do you certainly rule over us?” And they add still more to hate him, 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 dreams yet another dream, and recounts it to his brothers, and says, “Behold, I have dreamed a dream again, and behold, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars, are bowing themselves 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 recounts to his father, and to his brothers; and his father pushes against him, and says to him, “What [is] this dream which you have dreamed? Do we certainly come, I, and your mother, and your brothers—to bow ourselves to you, 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 brothers are zealous against him, and his father has watched the matter.
I dok su braća od zavisti bila ljuta na nj, njegov je otac razmišljao o svemu.
12 And his brothers go to feed the flock of their father in Shechem,
Jednom njegova braća odu čuvati očeva stada blizu Šekema.
13 and Israel says to Joseph, “Are your brothers not feeding in Shechem? Come, and I send you to them”; and he says to him, “Here I [am]”;
Izrael reče Josipu: “Tvoja braća čuvaju stada kod Šekema, pa hajde da te pošaljem k njima.” On mu odgovori: “Dobro, idem.”
14 and he says to him, “Now go see the peace of your brothers, and the peace of the flock, and bring me back word”; and he sends him from the Valley of Hebron, and he comes 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 man finds him, and behold, he is wandering in the field, and the man asks him, saying, “What do you seek?”
Neki čovjek nađe ga gdje luta poljem pa ga upita: “Što tražiš?”
16 And he says, “I am seeking my brothers, please declare to me where they are feeding.”
“Tražim braću”, odgovori. “Možeš li mi kazati gdje čuvaju stada?”
17 And the man says, “They have journeyed from this, for I have heard some saying, Let us go to Dothan,” and Joseph goes after his brothers, and finds 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 they see him from afar, even before he draws near to them, and they conspire against him to put him to death.
Oni ga opaze izdaleka; prije nego im se približio, počnu se dogovarati da ga ubiju.
19 And they say to one another, “Behold, this man of the dreams comes;
I jedan drugom reče: “Eno stiže onaj sanjar!
20 and now, come, and we slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and have said, An evil beast has devoured him; and we see what his dreams are.”
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 hears, and delivers him out of their hand, and says, “Let us not strike the life”;
Ali kad je to čuo Ruben, pokuša da ga izbavi iz njihovih šaka. I reče: “Nemojmo oduzimati njegova života!
22 and Reuben says to them, “Shed no blood; cast him into this pit which [is] in the wilderness, and do not put forth a hand on him,” in order to deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back to his father.
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 comes to pass, when Joseph has come to his brothers, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat which [is] on him,
Ali kad je Josip stigao braći, oni s Josipa svuku njegovu haljinu, haljinu kićenu što je bila na njemu;
24 and take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit [is] empty, there is no water in it.
pograbe ga i bace u čatrnju. Čatrnja je bila prazna; nije bilo u njoj vode.
25 And they sit down to eat bread, and they lift up their eyes, and look, and behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, and their camels carrying spices, and balm, and myrrh, going to take [them] 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 says to his brothers, “What gain when we slay our brother, and have concealed his blood?
Tada reče Juda svojoj braći: “Što ćemo postići ako ubijemo svog brata a krv njegovu sakrijemo?
27 Come, and we sell him to the Ishmaelites, and our hands are not on him, for he [is] our brother—our flesh”; and his brothers listen.
Hajde da ga prodamo Jišmaelcima; ali ne dižimo na nj ruke. TÓa on je naš brat, naše meso.” Braća ga poslušaju.
28 And Midianite merchantmen pass by and they draw out and bring up Joseph out of the pit, and sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver, and they bring 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 returns to the pit, and behold, Joseph is not in the pit, and he tears his garments,
Kad se Ruben vratio k čatrnji i vidio da Josipa nema u čatrnji, razdere svoju odjeću.
30 and he returns to his brothers and says, “The boy is not, and I—to where am I going?”
A kad se vratio svojoj braći, povika: “Dječaka nema! Kamo ću ja sad?”
31 And they take the coat of Joseph, and slaughter a kid of the goats, and dip the coat in the blood,
A oni uzmu Josipovu haljinu, zakolju jedno kozle i haljinu zamoče u krv.
32 and send the long coat, and they bring [it] to their father, and say, “We have found this; please discern whether it [is] your son’s coat or not.”
Kićenu haljinu otpreme ocu i poruče: “Ovo smo našli; gledaj je li ovo haljina tvoga sina ili nije.”
33 And he discerns it and says, “My son’s coat! An evil beast has devoured him; torn—Joseph is torn!”
Prepozna je on pa reče: “Haljina je moga sina! Divlja ga je zvijer rastrgla! Na komade je Josip rastrgan!”
34 And Jacob tears his raiment, and puts sackcloth on his loins, and becomes a mourner 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 rise to comfort him, and he refuses to comfort himself, and says, “For I go down to my son mourning, to Sheol,” and his father weeps 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 have sold him to Egypt, to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners.
A Midjanci ga prodaju u Egipat Potifaru, dvoraninu faraonovu, zapovjedniku straže.
