Genesis 41
1 Two complete years later, the king of Egypt had a dream. In the dream, he was standing alongside the Nile [River].
А после две године дана усни Фараон, а он стоји на једној реци.
2 Suddenly seven healthy fat cows come up out of the river. They started eating the grass that was on the riverbank.
И гле, из реке изађе седам крава лепих и дебелих, и стадоше пасти по обали.
3 Soon seven other cows, unhealthy-looking and thin, came up behind them from the Nile [River]. They stood alongside the fat cows that were on the riverbank.
И гле, иза њих изађе из реке седам других крава, ружних и мршавих, и стадоше поред оних крава на обали.
4 Then the unhealthy thin cows ate the seven healthy fat cows. And then the king woke up.
И ове краве ружне и мршаве поједоше оних седам крава лепих и дебелих. У том се пробуди Фараон.
5 The king went to sleep again, and he had another dream. This time he saw seven heads of grain that were full of kernels of grain and ripe, and all growing on one stalk.
Па опет заспав усни другом, а то седам класова израсте из једног стабла једрих и лепих;
6 After that, the king saw that seven other heads of grain sprouted on that (OR, on another) stalk. They were thin and had been dried up by the hot east wind.
А иза њих исклија седам класова малих и штурих;
7 Then the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven ripe full heads. Then the king woke up. He realized that he had been dreaming.
Па ови класови мали поједоше оних седам великих и једрих. У том се пробуди Фараон и виде да је сан.
8 But the next morning he was worried about the meaning of the dream. So he summoned all the magicians and wise men who lived in Egypt. He told them what he had dreamed, but none of them could tell him the meaning of the two dreams.
И кад би ујутру, он се забрину у духу, и пославши сазва све гатаре мисирске и све мудраце, и приповеди им шта је снио; али нико не може казати Фараону шта значи.
9 Then the chief drink-server said to the king, “Now I remember something that I should have told you! I made a mistake by forgetting to tell it to you.
Тада проговори старешина над пехарницима Фараону и рече: Данас се опоменух греха свог.
10 One time you were angry with two of us. So you put me and the chief baker in the prison in the house of the captain of the palace guards.
Кад се Фараон расрди на слуге своје и баци у тамницу у кући заповедника стражарског мене и старешину над хлебарима,
11 While we were there, one night each of us had a dream, and the dreams had different meanings.
Уснисмо једну ноћ ја и он, сваки за себе по значењу сна свог уснисмо.
12 There was a young Hebrew man there with us. He was a servant of the captain of the palace guards. We told him what we had dreamed, and he told us what our dreams meant. He told each of us the meaning of our dreams.
А онде беше с нама момче Јеврејче, слуга заповедника стражарског, и ми му приповедисмо сне, а он нам каза шта чији сан значи.
13 And what happened was exactly the same as the meanings that he told us: You said I could have my previous job again, but the other man was killed by being hanged. [The Hebrew man’s name was Joseph].”
И зби се како нам каза: мене поврати Фараон у службу, а оног обеси.
14 When the king heard that, he told some servants to bring Joseph to him, and they quickly brought Joseph out of the prison. Joseph shaved and put on better clothes, and then he went and stood in front of the king.
Тада Фараон посла по Јосифа, и брже га изведоше из тамнице, а он се обрија и преобуче се, те изађе пред Фараона.
15 The king said to Joseph, “I had two dreams, and no one can tell me what they mean. But someone told me that when you hear someone tell about a dream he has had, you can tell that person what the dream means.”
А Фараон рече Јосифу: Усних сан, па ми нико не уме да каже шта значи; а за тебе чујем да умеш казивати сне.
16 But Joseph replied to the king, “No, I cannot do that. It is God who knows the meaning of dreams, but he will enable me to tell you their meaning, and they will mean something good.”
А Јосиф одговори Фараону и рече: То није у мојој власти, Бог ће јавити добро Фараону.
17 The king said to Joseph, “In my first dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile [River].
И рече Фараон Јосифу: Усних, а ја стојим крај реке на обали.
18 Suddenly seven healthy fat cows came up out of the river, and they started eating the grass that was on the riverbank.
И гле, из реке изађе седам крава дебелих и лепих, те стадоше пасти по обали.
19 Soon seven other cows, ugly and thin ones, came up behind them from the river. I never saw such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!
И гле, иза њих изађе седам других крава рђавих, и врло ружних и мршавих, каквих нисам видео у целој земљи мисирској.
20 The thin ugly cows ate the seven fat cows that came up first.
И ове краве мршаве и ружне поједоше оних седам дебелих,
21 But afterwards, no one would have known that the thin cows ate them, because they were just as ugly as they were before. Then I woke up.
И кад им бише у трбуху, не познаваше се да су им у трбуху, него опет беху онако ружне као пре. У том се пробудих.
22 Then I had another dream. I saw seven heads of grain. They were full of kernels of grain and ripe, and they were all growing on one stalk.
Па опет усних, а то седам класова израсте из једног стабла једрих и лепих;
23 Then [to my surprise] I saw seven other heads of grain that sprouted. They were thin and had been dried up by the hot east wind.
А иза њих исклија седам малих, танких и штурих.
24 The thin heads of grain swallowed the seven good heads. I told these dreams to the magicians, but none of them could explain to me what they meant.”
И ови танки класови прождреше оних седам лепих. И ово приповедих гатарима, али ми ни један не зна казати шта значи.
25 Then Joseph said to the king, “Both your dreams have the same meaning. God is revealing to you in your dreams what he is about to do.
А Јосиф рече Фараону: Оба су сна Фараонова једнака; Бог јавља Фараону шта је наумио.
26 The seven healthy cows represent seven years. The seven good heads of grain also represent seven years. The two dreams both have the same meaning.
Седам лепих крава јесу седам година, и седам лепих класова јесу седам година; оба су сна једнака.
27 The seven thin ugly cows that came up behind them and the seven worthless heads of grain that were dried up by the hot east wind each represent seven years (of famine/when food will be very scarce).
А седам крава мршавих и ружних, што изађоше иза оних, јесу седам година; и седам класова ситних и штурих биће седам година гладних.
28 It will happen just as I have told you, because God has revealed to you what he is about to do.
То је што рекох Фараону: Бог каже Фараону шта је наумио.
29 There will be seven years in which there will be plenty of food throughout the land of Egypt,
Ево доћи ће седам година врло родних свој земљи мисирској.
30 but after that there will be seven years (of famine/when food will be very scarce). Then people will forget all the years when there was plenty of food, because the famine that will come afterward will ruin the country.
А иза њих настаће седам гладних година, где ће се заборавити све обиље у земљи мисирској, јер ће глад сатрти земљу,
31 The people will forget how plentiful food was previously, because the famine will be very terrible.
Те се неће знати то обиље у земљи од глади потоње, јер ће бити врло велика.
32 The reason God gave to you two dreams is that he [wants you to know] that this will happen, and he will cause it to happen very soon.
А што је два пута узастопце Фараон снио, то је зато што је зацело Бог тако наумио, и на скоро ће то учинити Бог.
33 “Now I suggest that you should choose a man who is wise and can make good decisions. I suggest that you appoint him to direct the affairs of the whole country.
Него сада нека потражи Фараон човека мудрог и разумног, па нека га постави над земљом мисирском.
34 You should also appoint supervisors over the country, in order that they can arrange to collect one-fifth of all the grain that is harvested during the seven years when food is plentiful.
И нека гледа Фараон да постави старешине по земљи, и покупи петину по земљи мисирској за седам родних година;
35 They should collect this amount of grain during those seven years that are coming, when there will be plenty of food. You should supervise them as they store it in the cities.
Нека скупљају од сваког жита за родних година које иду, и нека снесу под руку Фараонову сваког жита у све градове, и нека чувају,
36 This grain should be stored so that it can be eaten during the seven years when there will be a famine here in Egypt, so that the people in this country will not die from hunger.”
Да се нађе хране земљи за седам година гладних, кад настану, да не пропадне земља од глади.
37 The king and his officials thought that this would be a good plan.
И ово се учини добро Фараону и свим слугама његовим.
38 So the king said to them, “(Can we find any other man like Joseph, a man to whom God has given his Spirit?/It is not likely that we will find another man like this man, one to whom God has given his Spirit!)” [RHQ]
И рече Фараон слугама својим: Можемо ли наћи човека какав је овај, у коме би дух био Божји?
39 Then the king said to Joseph, “Because God has revealed all this to you, it seems to me that there is no one who is as wise as you and who can decide wisely about things.
Па рече Фараон Јосифу: Кад је теби јавио Бог све ово, нема никога тако мудрог и разумног као што си ти.
40 So I will put you in charge of everything in my palace. All the people here in Egypt must obey what you command. Only because I am king [MTY] will I have more authority than you.”
Ти ћеш бити над домом мојим, и сав ће ти народ мој уста љубити; само ћу овим престолом бити већи од тебе.
41 Then the king said to Joseph, “I am now putting you in charge of the whole country of Egypt.”
И још рече Фараон Јосифу: Ево, постављам те над свом земљом мисирском.
42 The king took from his finger the ring that had his seal on it, and he put it on Joseph’s finger. He put robes made of fine linen on him, and he put a gold chain around his neck.
И скиде Фараон прстен с руке своје и метну га Јосифу на руку, и обуче га у хаљине од танког платна, и обеси му златну верижицу о врату,
43 Then he arranged for Joseph to ride around in the chariot [that showed that he was] the second-most important man in the country. When Joseph rode in the chariot, men shouted to the people who were on the road in front of him, “Get off the road!” So the king put Joseph in charge of everything in the country.
И посади га на кола која беху друга за његовим, и заповеди да пред њим вичу: Клањајте се! И да га је поставио над свом земљом мисирском.
44 The king said to Joseph, “I am the king, but no one in the whole land of Egypt will do anything [IDM] if you do not permit them to do it.”
И још рече Фараон Јосифу: Ја сам Фараон, али без тебе неће нико маћи руке своје ни ноге своје у свој земљи мисирској.
45 The king gave Joseph a new name, Zaphenath-Paneah. He also gave him Asenath to be his wife. She was the daughter of Potiphera, who was a priest in a temple in On [city]. Then Joseph became known (OR, traveled) through all the land of Egypt.
И даде Фараон Јосифу име Псонтомфаних, и ожени га Асенетом кћерју Потифере свештеника онског. И пође Јосиф по земљи мисирској.
46 Joseph was 30 years old when he started to work for the king of Egypt. To do his work, he left the king’s palace and traveled throughout Egypt.
А беше Јосифу тридесет година кад изађе пред Фараона цара мисирског. И отишавши од Фараона обиђе сву земљу мисирску.
47 During the next seven years, the land produced abundant crops, so there was plenty of food.
И за седам родних година роди земља свашта изобила.
48 As Joseph supervised them, his helpers collected one-fifth of all the grain that was produced during those years, and stored it in the cities. In each city, he had his helpers store up the grain that was grown in the fields that surrounded that city.
И стаде Јосиф купити за тих седам година сваког жита што беше по земљи мисирској, и сносити жито у градове; у сваки град сношаше жито с њива које беху око њега.
49 Joseph had them store up a huge amount of grain. It looked as plentiful as the sand on the seashore. There was so much grain that after a while they stopped keeping records of how much grain was stored, because there was more grain than they could measure.
Тако накупи Јосиф жита врло много колико је песка морског, тако да га преста мерити, јер му не беше броја.
50 Before the seven years of famine started, Joseph’s wife Asenath gave birth to two sons.
И докле још не наста гладна година, родише се Јосифу два сина, које му роди Асенета кћи Потифере свештеника онског.
51 Joseph named the first one Manasseh, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘forget]’, because, he said, “God has caused me to forget all my troubles and all my father’s family.”
И првенцу надеде Јосиф име Манасија, говорећи: Јер ми Бог даде да заборавим сву муку своју и сав дом оца свог.
52 He named his second son Ephraim, [which means ‘to have children]’, because, he said, “God has given me children here in this land where I have suffered.”
А другом надеде име Јефрем, говорећи: Јер ми Бог даде да растем у земљи невоље своје.
53 Finally the seven years in which there was plenty of food ended.
Али прође седам година родних у земљи мисирској;
54 Then the seven years of famine started, just as Joseph had predicted. There was also a famine in all the other nearby lands, but although the crops did not grow, there was food everywhere in Egypt, because of the grain they had stored up in the cities.
И наста седам година гладних, као што је Јосиф напред казао. И беше глад по свим земљама, а по свој земљи мисирској беше хлеба.
55 When all the people of [MTY] Egypt had eaten all of their own food and were still hungry, they begged the king for food. So the king told all the people of Egypt, “Go to Joseph, and do what he tells you to do.”
Али најпосле наста глад и по свој земљи мисирској, и народ повика к Фараону за хлеб; а Фараон рече свима Мисирцима: Идите к Јосифу, па шта вам он каже оно чините.
56 When the famine was very bad throughout the whole country, Joseph ordered his helpers to open the storehouses. Then they sold the grain in the storehouses to the people of Egypt, because the famine was very severe all over Egypt.
И кад глад беше по свој земљи, отвори Јосиф све житнице, и продаваше Мисирцима. И глад поста врло велика у земљи мисирској.
57 And people from many [HYP] nearby countries came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was very severe everywhere [HYP].
И из свих земаља долажаху у Мисир к Јосифу да купују; јер поста глад у свакој земљи.
