Genesis 37
1 Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, 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, tended the flock with his brothers; he was an assistant to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report about them 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 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he had been born to him in his old age. And he made a long ornamented robe for him.
Izrael je volio Josipa više nego ijednog svoga sina jer je bio dijete njegove staračke dobi; i on mu napravi kićenu haljinu.
4 His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak a kind word to 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 Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
Jednom Josip usni san i kaza ga svojoj braći, a oni ga zbog toga još više zamrze.
6 He said to them, "Please listen to this dream I had:
“Poslušajte”, reče im, “san što sam ga usnio!
7 And look, we were binding sheaves in the field, and look, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And look, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down 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 Then his brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed rule over us?" So they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he said.
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 had another dream, and told it to his father and to his brothers, and said, "Look, I had yet another dream, and look, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down 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 When he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you had? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come and bow down to the ground in front of you?"
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 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept thinking about the matter.
I dok su braća od zavisti bila ljuta na nj, njegov je otac razmišljao o svemu.
12 Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.
Jednom njegova braća odu čuvati očeva stada blizu Šekema.
13 And Israel said to Joseph, "Aren't your brothers pasturing the flock near Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I am ready."
Izrael reče Josipu: “Tvoja braća čuvaju stada kod Šekema, pa hajde da te pošaljem k njima.” On mu odgovori: “Dobro, idem.”
14 So he said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and report back to me." So he sent him from the Valley 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 man found him, and look, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
Neki čovjek nađe ga gdje luta poljem pa ga upita: “Što tražiš?”
16 He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock."
“Tražim braću”, odgovori. “Možeš li mi kazati gdje čuvaju stada?”
17 The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, 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 Now they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they plotted against him to kill him.
Oni ga opaze izdaleka; prije nego im se približio, počnu se dogovarati da ga ubiju.
19 And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming.
I jedan drugom reče: “Eno stiže onaj sanjar!
20 Come now, and let's kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns, and we will say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we will 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 But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let's not take his life."
Ali kad je to čuo Ruben, pokuša da ga izbavi iz njihovih šaka. I reče: “Nemojmo oduzimati njegova života!
22 Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him"—that he might deliver him out of their hands, to restore him 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 It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing.
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 threw him into the cistern. (Now 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 Then they sat down to eat a meal. And they looked up, and look, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh on their way to carry 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 Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill 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's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay a hand on him, for he is our brother, our flesh." And his brothers agreed.
Hajde da ga prodamo Jišmaelcima; ali ne dižimo na nj ruke. TÓa on je naš brat, naše meso.” Braća ga poslušaju.
28 So the Midianites merchants passed by, and they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the cistern, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to 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 to the cistern and saw that Joseph wasn't in the cistern; and he tore his clothes.
Kad se Ruben vratio k čatrnji i vidio da Josipa nema u čatrnji, razdere svoju odjeću.
30 He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone. Now, what am I to do?"
A kad se vratio svojoj braći, povika: “Dječaka nema! Kamo ću ja sad?”
31 They took Joseph's robe and killed a male goat and dipped the robe in the blood.
A oni uzmu Josipovu haljinu, zakolju jedno kozle i haljinu zamoče u krv.
32 And they sent the long ornamented robe and they brought it to their father, and said, "We found this. Please examine it to see whether it is your son's robe or not."
Kićenu haljinu otpreme ocu i poruče: “Ovo smo našli; gledaj je li ovo haljina tvoga sina ili nije.”
33 And he recognized it, and said, "It is my son's robe. A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."
Prepozna je on pa reče: “Haljina je moga sina! Divlja ga je zvijer rastrgla! Na komade je Josip rastrgan!”
34 Then Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
I razdere Jakov svoje haljine, stavi pokorničku kostrijet oko bokova i dugo vremena oplakivaše svoga sina.
35 All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Indeed, I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning." And 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 Now the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
A Midjanci ga prodaju u Egipat Potifaru, dvoraninu faraonovu, zapovjedniku straže.
