Genesis 47
1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come from the land of Canaan. And look, 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 from among his brothers he took five men and presented them before Pharaoh.
I uzevši petoricu između svoje braće, uvede ih faraonu.
3 Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" And they said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers."
Onda faraon zapita njegovu braću: “Čime se bavite?” Odgovore faraonu: “Tvoje su sluge stočari, baš kao što su bili naši preci.
4 And they said to Pharaoh, "We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live 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 Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to 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 and the land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land. They may live in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."
[6a] egipatska ti je zemlja na raspolaganju: smjesti svoga oca i svoju braću u najboljem kraju.”
7 Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob, and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Josip onda dovede svoga oca Jakova faraonu. Jakov blagoslovi faraona.
8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many are the days of the years of your life?"
A faraon upita Jakova: “Koliko ti je godina?”
9 So Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my sojourning are one hundred thirty years. Few and difficult have been the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning."
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 and went out from Pharaoh's presence.
Poslije toga Jakov se oprosti s faraonom i ode od njega.
11 Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and gave them property in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, 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 provided food for his father, his brothers, and all of his father's household, according to the number of their dependents.
A Josip opskrbi hranom svoga oca, svoju braću i svu očevu obitelj sve do najmanjega.
13 Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan grew weak because of the famine.
Nigdje nije bilo hrane jer je pritisla strašna glad: izmuči ona i zemlju egipatsku i zemlju kanaansku.
14 Joseph gathered up all of the money to be found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain they were purchasing. And Joseph brought the money into 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 And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food, for why should we die in your presence? For 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 Then Joseph said, "Give me your livestock and I will give you food for your livestock, if your silver is gone."
Josip odgovori: “Predajte svoju stoku pa ću vam dati žita u zamjenu za stoku kad je novca nestalo.”
17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle, and for the donkeys. And he fed them with food in exchange for all their livestock 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 When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that all our silver is spent and that the herds of livestock belong to my lord. There is nothing left, as my lord can see, except our bodies and our lands.
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 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed so that we may live and not die, and that the land won't become 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 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, because every Egyptian sold his field, since the famine was severe on 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 subjugated them as slaves from one end of the border of Egypt to the other end of it.
a narod od jednog kraja Egipta do drugoga njegovim robljem.
22 Only he did not buy the land of the priests, for the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they lived off their allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not 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 said to the people, "Look, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you so you can plant the seed in 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 will come to pass at the harvests that you must give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be yours for seed for the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and as 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 Then they said, "You have saved our lives. Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will 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 statute still in effect for the land of Egypt, that a fifth must go to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh's.
Tako Josip napravi za Egipat zemljišni zakon koji i danas vrijedi: petina pripada faraonu; jedino svećenička imanja nisu prešla faraonu.
27 So Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they acquired property in it and were fertile and became numerous.
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. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years.
U zemlji egipatskoj poživje Jakov sedamnaest godina. Tako je duljina Jakovljeva života iznosila sto četrdeset i sedam godina.
29 And the time approached for Israel to die, so he summoned his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me 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 lie down with my fathers you must carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place." And he said, "I will do what you have asked."
Kad legnem dolje sa svojim ocima, prenesi me iz Egipta gore i sahrani me u njihovu grobnicu!” “Učinit ću kako si rekao”, odgovori.
31 Then he said, "Take an oath to me," and he took an oath to him. Then Israel bowed over the top of his staff.
“Zakuni mi se!” - reče. I on mu se zakle. Tada se Izrael duboko prignu na uzglavlju.
