Genesis 45
1 And Joseph could not restrain himself before all who were stationed near him, so he cried out—Have forth every man from me! And there stood no man with him, when Joseph made himself known unto his brethren,
Josip se više nije mogo svladavati pred onima koji su ga okruživali pa povika: “Neka svi odstupe!” Tako nitko nije ostao s Josipom kad se očitovao svojoj braći.
2 Then gave he forth his voice in weeping, —and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Briznuo je u glasan plač, da su ga i Egipćani mogli čuti. Doznalo se za to i na faraonovu dvoru.
3 Then said Joseph unto his brethren: I, am Joseph, is my father yet alive? But his brethren could not answer him, for they were terrified because of him.
“Ja sam Josip”, reče Josip svojoj braći. “Otac mi je, dakle, još na životu!” Ali mu braća nisu mogla odgovoriti, toliko se zapanjiše pred njim.
4 Then said Joseph unto his brethren—Draw near I pray you, unto me. And they drew near. And he said—I, am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
Onda će opet Josip svojoj braći: “Primaknite se k meni!” Kad su se primakli, nastavi: “Ja sam Josip, vaš brat; onaj koga ste prodali u Egipat.
5 But, now, do not grieve, neither let it be vexing in your eyes, that ye sold me hither, —for, to save life, did God send me before you.
Ali se nemojte uznemirivati i prekoravati što ste me ovamo prodali; jer Bog je onaj koji me pred vama poslao da vas održi u životu.
6 For these two years, hath the famine been in the midst of the land, —and, yet five years, are there, in which there shall be neither ploughing, nor harvest.
Dvije su već godine što je glad došla na zemlju, a još pet godina neće biti ni oranja ni žetve u zemlji.
7 So then God sent me before you, to plant for you a remainder in the earth, —and to save you alive, by a great deliverance,
Zato me Bog poslao pred vama da vam se sačuva ostatak na zemlji te da vam život spasi velikim izbavljenjem.
8 Now, therefore it was not ye, who sent me hither, but, God, himself, —who also appointed me to be a father to Pharaoh, and a lord to all his house, and a ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Tako niste vi mene poslali ovamo nego Bog; on me postavio faraonu za oca, gospodara nad svim njegovim domom i vladaocem nad svom zemljom egipatskom.
9 Haste ye and go up unto my father, then shall ye say unto him—Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath appointed me lord to all Egypt, —come down unto me do not delay;
Žurite se k mome ocu te mu recite: 'Ovo ti poručuje tvoj sin Josip: Bog me postavio gospodarem nad svim Egiptom; siđi k meni bez oklijevanja.
10 so shalt thou dwell in the land of Goshen, and shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons’ sons, —and thy flocks and thy herds and all that is thine;
Nastanit ćeš se u kraju Gošenu. Tako ćeš biti blizu mene: ti, tvoja djeca, tvoja unučad, tvoje ovce i goveda i sve što je tvoje.
11 so will I sustain thee, there, for there are yet five years of famine, —lest thou come to poverty—thou and thy house and all who are thine.
Ondje ću se za te brinuti, jer će glad potrajati još pet godina. Tako nećeš oskudijevati ni ti, ni tvoja obitelj, niti itko tvoj.'
12 Now lo! your own eyes do see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, —that it is my own mouth, that doth speak unto you.
Ta svojim očima možete vidjeti, kao što vidi i moj brat Benjamin, da vam to moja usta govore.
13 As soon as ye have told my father all my honour in Egypt, and all that ye have seen, so soon shall ye hasten and bring down my father hither.
Pripovjedite ocu o mome visokom položaju u Egiptu i sve što ste vidjeli; i brzo mi ovamo oca dovedite!”
14 Then fell he upon the neck of Benjamin his brother, and wept, —and Benjamin wept on his neck.
Potom zagrli brata Benjamina te zaplaka; a plakao je i Benjamin obisnuvši mu oko vrata.
15 Then kissed he all his brethren, and wept upon them, —and, thereafter, his brethren spake with him.
Izljubi zatim svu svoju braću, u naručju im se rasplaka. Poslije toga njegova braća zađu s njim u razgovor.
16 Now, the report, was heard by the house of Pharaoh, saying, The brethren of Joseph have come in, And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Glas se pročuje u faraonovu dvoru: “Stigla Josipova braća!” Bilo je to drago faraonu i njegovim dvoranima.
17 So then Pharaoh said unto Joseph—Say unto thy brethren This, do, —lade your asses, and go enter into the land of Canaan;
Onda faraon reče Josipu: “Kaži svojoj braći neka učine ovo: 'Natovarite svoje živine i odmah se uputite u zemlju kanaansku.
18 and fetch your father and your households and come in unto me, —that I may give you the best of the land of Egypt, and eat ye the fat of the land.
Uzmite svoga oca i svoje obitelji i k meni dođite! Ja ću vam dati najbolju zemlju u Egiptu te ćete uživati od obilja ove zemlje.'
19 Thou, therefore command them, This, do ye, —Take you out of the land of Egypt, waggons for your little ones and for your wives, so shall ye bring your father and come in.
A naredi i ovo: 'Ovako učinite: Iz zemlje egipatske potjerajte kola za svoju djecu i svoje žene, uzmite oca i dođite.
20 Your eye, moreover, let it not look with pity upon your goods, —for, the best of all the land of Egypt, is, yours.
Neka vam se oči ne rastužuju za vašim stvarima, jer sve što je u Egiptu najbolje bit će vaše.'”
21 And the sons of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them waggons, at the bidding of Pharaoh, —and gave them provisions for the way:
Sinovi Izraelovi tako učine. Po faraonovoj zapovijedi Josip im dade kola i popudbinu.
22 to all of them, gave he to each man changes of raiment, —but, to Benjamin, he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
Svakom od njih dade nove haljine, a Benjaminu dade tri stotine srebrnika i petore haljine.
23 Moreover, to his father, sent he as followeth—ten he-asses, laden from the best of Egypt, —and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread and nourishing food for his father for the way.
Isto tako pošalje svome ocu: deset magaraca natovarenih najboljim plodovima egipatskim i deset magarica natovarenih žitom, kruhom i namirnicama ocu za put.
24 Thus sent he forth his brethren and they departed, —and he said unto them, Do not fall out by the way.
Isprativši svoju braću na put, reče im: “Nemojte se putem svađati!”
25 And they went up out of Egypt, —and came into the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father.
I tako oni odoše iz Egipta i stigoše u zemlju kanaansku, k svome ocu Jakovu.
26 And they told him saying—Joseph: is, yet alive, yea, indeed, he, is ruler in all the land of Egypt. And his heart became faint, for he believed them not.
Kad mu rekoše: “Josip je živ i čak vlada nad svom zemljom egipatskom!”, njegovo se srce skameni jer im nije mogao vjerovati.
27 So they spake unto him all the words of Joseph which he had spoken unto them h then saw he the waggons, which Joseph had sent to carry him, —and the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
Ali kad mu ispripovjediše sve što im je Josip rekao i kad vidje kola što ih je Josip poslao da ga prevezu, duh njihova oca Jakova oživje.
28 And Israel said, Enough! Joseph my son is, yet alive, I must go and see him before I die!
“Dosta”, reče Izrael. “Sin moj Josip još je živ! Moram poći i vidjeti ga prije nego umrem.”
