Genesis 37
1 Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.
Jakob je prebival v deželi, v kateri je bil njegov oče tujec, v kánaanski deželi.
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.
To so Jakobovi rodovi. Jožef je bil star sedemnajst let, ko je s svojimi brati pasel trop in deček je bil s sinovi Bilhe in s sinovi Zilpe, ženama svojega očeta. Jožef je svojemu očetu prinesel njihovo zlo poročilo.
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.
Torej Izrael je bolj ljubil Jožefa kakor vse svoje otroke, ker je bil sin njegove visoke starosti. Naredil mu je plašč iz mnogih barv.
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.
Ko so njegovi bratje videli, da ga je njihov oče bolj ljubil kakor vse njegove brate, so ga zasovražili in niso mogli miroljubno govoriti z njim.
5 Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
Jožef je sanjal sanje in te je povedal svojim bratom, oni pa so ga še bolj sovražili.
6 He said to them, "Please listen to this dream I had:
Rekel jim je: »Poslušajte, prosim vas, te sanje, ki sem jih sanjal.
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."
Kajti, glejte, na polju smo vezali snope in glejte, moj snop je vstal in tudi stal pokončno. Glejte, vaši snopi so stali naokoli in se globoko priklanjali mojemu 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.
Njegovi bratje so mu rekli: »Ali boš zares kraljeval nad nami? Ali boš zares imel gospostvo nad nami?« In še bolj so ga zasovražili zaradi njegovih sanj in zaradi njegovih besed.
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."
Sanjal je še druge sanje in te povedal svojim bratom in rekel: »Glejte, še sem sanjal sanje. Glejte globoko so se mi priklanjali sonce in luna in enajst zvezd.«
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?"
Te je povedal svojemu očetu in svojim bratom. Njegov oče pa ga je oštel in mu rekel: »Kaj so te sanje, ki si jih sanjal? Naj zares pridemo jaz, tvoja mati in tvoji bratje, da se ti priklonimo k zemlji?«
11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept thinking about the matter.
Njegovi bratje so mu zavidali, toda njegov oče je obeležil besede.
12 Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.
Njegovi bratje so odšli, da pasejo trop svojega očeta v Sihemu.
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 je rekel Jožefu: »Mar tvoji bratje ne pasejo tropa v Sihemu? Pridi in poslal te bom k njim.« Ta mu je rekel: »Tukaj sem.«
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.
Rekel mu je: »Pojdi, prosim te, poglej če je dobro s tvojimi brati in dobro s tropi in besedo mi ponovno prinesi nazaj.« Tako ga je poslal iz hebrónske doline in je prišel v Sihem.
15 And a man found him, and look, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
Našel pa ga je nek mož in glej, taval je po polju in človek ga je vprašal, rekoč: »Kaj iščeš?«
16 He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock."
Rekel je: »Iščem svoje brate. Povej mi, prosim te, kje pasejo svoje trope.«
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.
Človek je rekel: »Odpravili so se od tod, kajti slišal sem jih reči: ›Pojdimo v Dotán.‹« Jožef je odšel za svojimi brati in jih našel v Dotánu.
18 Now they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they plotted against him to kill him.
Ko so ga od daleč zagledali, celo preden se jim je približal, so se zoper njega zarotili, da ga ubijejo.
19 And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming.
Drug drugemu so rekli: »Glejte, ta sanjač prihaja.
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."
Pridimo torej, ubijmo ga in ga vrzimo v neko jamo in bomo rekli: ›Neka zla žival ga je požrla‹ in bomo videli, kaj bo nastalo iz njegovih sanj.«
21 But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let's not take his life."
Ruben pa je to slišal in ga osvobodil iz njihovih rok in rekel: »Naj ga ne ubijemo mi.«
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.
Ruben jim je rekel: »Ne prelijmo krvi, temveč ga vrzimo v tole jamo, ki je v divjini in ne položimo roke nanj, « da bi ga lahko osvobodil iz njihovih rok, da ga ponovno izroči njegovemu očetu.
23 It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing.
Pripetilo pa se je, ko je Jožef prišel k svojim bratom, da so Jožefa slekli iz njegovega plašča, njegovega plašča iz mnogih barv, ki je bil na njem
24 And they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now the pit was empty. There was no water in it.)
in ga prijeli ter vrgli v jamo. Jama pa je bila prazna, v njej ni bilo 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.
Usedli so se, da jedo kruh in povzdignili so svoje oči, pogledali in glej, skupina Izmaelcev je prihajala iz Gileáda, s svojimi kamelami, nesoč dišave, balzam in miro, da to odnesejo dol v Egipt.
26 Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
Juda je rekel svojim bratom: »Kakšna korist je to, če ubijemo svojega brata in prikrijemo njegovo kri?
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.
Pridite in prodajmo ga Izmaelcem in naj naša roka ne bo nad njim, kajti on je naš brat in naše meso.« Njegovi bratje so bili zadovoljni.
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.
Potem so šli mimo midjánski trgovci in Jožefa so potegnili ter dvignili iz jame in Jožefa prodali Izmaelcem za dvajset koščkov srebra in ti so Jožefa pripeljali v Egipt.
29 And Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph wasn't in the cistern; and he tore his clothes.
Ruben pa se je vrnil k jami in glej, Jožefa ni bilo v jami. Raztrgal je svoja oblačila
30 He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone. Now, what am I to do?"
in se vrnil k svojim bratom ter rekel: »Otroka ni in kam naj grem jaz?«
31 They took Joseph's robe and killed a male goat and dipped the robe in the blood.
Vzeli so Jožefov plašč, zaklali kozlička izmed koz in plašč pomočili v kri
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."
in poslali so plašč iz mnogih barv in ga prinesli k svojemu očetu ter rekli: »To smo našli. Védi torej, ali je to plašč tvojega sina ali ne.«
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."
Prepoznal ga je in rekel: » To je plašč mojega sina. Zla žival ga je požrla. Jožef je brez dvoma raztrgan na koščke.«
34 Then Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
Jakob je raztrgal svoja oblačila in na svoja ledja oblekel vrečevino in mnogo dni žaloval za svojim sinom.
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)
Vsi njegovi sinovi in vse njegove hčere so vstali, da ga potolažijo, toda odklonil je, da bi bil potolažen in rekel je: »Kajti žalujoč bom šel v grob k svojemu sinu.« Tako je njegov oče jokal za njim. (Sheol h7585)
36 Now the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
Midjánci pa so ga prodali v Egipt k Potifárju, faraonovemu častniku in poveljniku straže.
