Genesis 48
1 And it came about after these things that someone said to Joseph, "Look, your father is sick." And taking with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, he went to Jacob.
Poslije javiše Josifu: eno, otac ti je bolestan. A on povede sa sobom dva sina svoja, Manasiju i Jefrema.
2 And someone reported to Jacob, and said, "Look, your son Joseph has come to you." Then Israel strengthened himself and sat up in the bed.
I javiše Jakovu i rekoše: evo sin tvoj Josif ide k tebi. A Izrailj se okrijepi, te sjede na postelji svojoj.
3 And Jacob said to Joseph, "El Shaddai appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,
I reèe Jakov Josifu: Bog svemoguæi javi se meni u Luzu u zemlji Hananskoj, i blagoslovi me;
4 and said to me, 'Look, I will make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your descendants after you as an everlasting possession.'
I reèe mi: uèiniæu te da narasteš i namnožiš se; i uèiniæu od tebe mnoštvo naroda, i daæu zemlju ovu sjemenu tvojemu nakon tebe da je njihova dovijeka.
5 And now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are.
Sada dakle dva sina tvoja, što ti se rodiše u zemlji Misirskoj prije nego doðoh k tebi u Misir, moji su, Jefrem i Manasija kao Ruvim i Simeun neka budu moji.
6 And your offspring born to you after them will be yours. But in their inheritance they are to be called after the names of their brothers.
A djeca koju rodiš poslije njih, neka budu tvoja i neka se po imenu braæe svoje zovu u našljedstvu svojem.
7 But as for me, when I came from Paddan Aram, Rachel died, in my sorrow, in the land of Canaan on the journey, when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath. And I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem)."
Jer kad se vratih iz Padana, umrije mi Rahilja u zemlji Hananskoj na putu, kad bješe još malo do Efrate; i pogreboh je na putu u Efratu, a to je Vitlejem.
8 Then Israel saw Joseph's sons, and said, "Who are these?"
A vidjev Izrailj sinove Josifove, reèe: ko su ovi?
9 And Joseph said to his father, "They are my sons, whom God has given me here." And he said, "Please bring them to me, so that I can bless them."
A Josif reèe ocu svojemu: moji sinovi, koje mi Bog dade ovdje. A on reèe: dovedi ih k meni, da ih blagoslovim.
10 Now the eyes of Israel were failing because of his age, so that he couldn't see. Then he brought them near to him, and he kissed them and embraced them.
A oèi bjehu Izrailju otežale od starosti, te ne mogaše dobro vidjeti. A kad mu ih privede, cjeliva ih i zagrli.
11 And Israel said to Joseph, "I did not expect to see your face, but look, God has let me see your offspring as well."
I reèe Izrailj Josifu: nijesam mislio da æu vidjeti lice tvoje; a gle, Bog mi dade da vidim i porod tvoj.
12 Then Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground.
A Josif odmaèe ih od koljena njegovijeh i pokloni se licem do zemlje.
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near to him.
Pa ih uze Josif obojicu, Jefrema sebi s desne strane a Izrailju s lijeve, Manasiju pak sebi s lijeve strane a Izrailju s desne; i tako ih primaèe k njemu.
14 And Israel stretched out his right hand and placed it on Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh's head, crossing his hands, although Manasseh was the firstborn.
A Izrailj pruživ desnu ruku svoju metnu je na glavu Jefremu mlaðemu, a lijevu na glavu Manasiji, tako namjestiv ruke navlaš, ako i jest Manasija bio prvenac.
15 Then he blessed Joseph, and said, "The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day,
I blagoslovi Josifa govoreæi: Bog, kojemu su svagda ugaðali oci moji Avram i Isak, Bog, koji me je hranio otkako sam postao do današnjega dana,
16 the Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the boys. And may my name be carried on in them, and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. And may they grow into a multitude upon the earth."
Anðeo, koji me je izbavljao od svakoga zla, da blagoslovi djecu ovu, i da se po mojemu imenu i po imenu otaca mojih Avrama i Isaka prozovu, i da se kao ribe namnože na zemlji!
17 When Joseph saw that his father placed his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him, and he grasped his father's hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
A Josif kad vidje gdje otac metnu desnu ruku svoju na glavu Jefremu, ne bi mu milo, pa uhvati za ruku oca svojega da je premjesti s glave Jefremove na glavu Manasijinu.
18 And Joseph said to his father, "Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head."
I reèe Josif ocu svojemu: ne tako, oèe; ovo je prvenac, metni desnicu njemu na glavu.
19 But his father refused, and said, "I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his descendants will become a multitude of nations."
Ali otac njegov ne htje, nego reèe: znam, sine, znam; i od njega æe postati narod, i on æe biti velik; ali æe mlaði brat njegov biti veæi od njega, i sjeme æe njegovo biti veliko mnoštvo naroda.
20 So he blessed them that day, saying, "By you Israel will pronounce blessing, saying, 'God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh.'" Thus he put Ephraim before Manasseh.
I blagoslovi ih u onaj dan i reèe: tobom æe Izrailj blagosiljati govoreæi: Bog da te uèini kao Jefrema i kao Manasiju. Tako postavi Jefrema pred Manasiju.
21 Then Israel said to Joseph, "Look, I am about to die, but God will be with you, and God will bring you back from this land to the land of your fathers.
Poslije reèe Izrailj Josifu: evo ja æu skoro umrijeti; ali æe Bog biti s vama i odvešæe vas opet u zemlju otaca vaših.
22 Moreover, I give to you one portion more than your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorites with my sword and with my bow."
I ja ti dajem jedan dio više nego braæi tvojoj, koji uzeh iz ruku Amorejskih maèem svojim i lukom svojim.
