Genesis 47
1 Joseph chose five of his [older] brothers to go with him to talk to the king. He introduced his [older] brothers to the king, and then he said, “My father and my [older] brothers [and younger brother] have come from the Canaan region. They have brought all their sheep and goats and cattle and everything else that they own, and they are living now in Goshen region.”
И отишавши Јосиф јави Фараону и рече: Отац мој и браћа моја с овцама својим и с говедима својим и са свим што имају дођоше из земље хананске, и ево их у земљи гесемској.
И узевши неколицину браће своје, пет људи, изведе их пред Фараона.
3 The king asked the brothers, “What work do you do?” They replied, “We are shepherds, just as our ancestors were.”
А Фараон рече браћи његовој: Какву радњу радите? А они рекоше Фараону: Пастири су слуге твоје, и ми и наши стари.
4 They also said to him, “We have come here to live for a while in this land, because the famine is very severe in Canaan, and our animals have no (pasture/grass to eat) there. So now, please let us live in the Goshen region.”
Још рекоше Фараону: Дођосмо да живимо као дошљаци у овој земљи, јер нема паше за стоку твојих слуга, јер је велика глад у земљи хананској; а сада допусти да живе у земљи гесемској слуге твоје.
5 The king said to Joseph, “I am happy that your father and your [older] brothers [and younger brother] have come to you.
А Фараон рече Јосифу: Отац твој и браћа твоја дођоше к теби;
6 They can live wherever you want in the whole country of Egypt. Give your father and your brothers the best part of the land. They can live in Goshen. And if you know that any of them have any special ability to work with livestock, have them be in charge of my own livestock, too.”
У твојој је власти земља мисирска; на најбољем месту у овој земљи насели оца свог и браћу своју, нека живе у земљи гесемској; и ако које знаш између њих да су вредни људи, постави их над мојом стоком.
7 Then Joseph brought his father Jacob [into the palace] and introduced him to the king. Jacob asked God to bless the king.
После доведе Јосиф и Јакова оца свог и изведе га пред Фараона, и благослови Јаков Фараона.
8 Then the king asked Jacob, “How old are you?”
А Фараон рече Јакову: Колико ти има година?
9 Jacob replied, “I have been traveling around for 130 years. I have not lived as long as my ancestors, but my life has been full of troubles.”
Одговори Јаков Фараону: Мени има сто и тридесет година, како сам дошљак. Мало је дана живота мог и зли су били, нити стижу век отаца мојих, колико су они живели.
10 Then Jacob again [asked God to] bless the king, and left him.
И благословив Јаков Фараона отиде од Фараона.
11 [That is how Joseph enabled his father and older] brothers [and younger brother] to start living in Egypt. As the king had commanded, he gave them property in the best part of the land, in [Goshen, which is now called] Rameses.
А Јосиф насели оца свог и браћу своју, и даде им добро у земљи мисирској на најбољем месту те земље, у земљи рамеској, као што заповеди Фараон.
12 Joseph also provided food for all his father’s family. The amounts that he gave them were according to how many children each of them had.
И храњаше Јосиф хлебом оца свог и браћу своју и сав дом оца свог до најмањег.
13 There were no crops growing in the whole region, because the famine was very severe. The people of Egypt and Canaan [MTY] became weak because they did not have enough food to eat.
Али неста хлеба у свој земљи, јер глад беше врло велика, и узмучи се земља мисирска и земља хананска од глади.
14 Joseph collected all the money that the people in Egypt and Canaan paid for the grain they were buying from him, and he brought the money to the king’s palace.
И покупи Јосиф све новце што се налажаху по земљи мисирској и по земљи хананској за жито, које куповаху, и слагаше новце у кућу Фараонову.
15 When the people of Egypt and Canaan had spent all their money for grain, they all kept coming to Joseph and saying, “Please give us some food! If you do not give us grain, we will die [RHQ]! We have used all our money to buy food, and we have no money left!”
А кад неста новца у земљи мисирској и у земљи хананској, стадоше сви Мисирци долазити к Јосифу говорећи: Дај нам хлеба; зашто да мремо код тебе, што новаца нема?
16 Joseph replied, “Since your money is all gone, bring me your livestock. If you do that, I will give you food in exchange for your livestock.”
А Јосиф им говораше: Дајте стоку своју, па ћу вам дати хлеба за стоку, кад је нестало новца.
17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph. He gave them food in exchange for their horses, their sheep and goats, their cattle, and their donkeys.
И довођаху стоку своју к Јосифу, и Јосиф им даваше хлеба за коње и за овце и за говеда и за магарце. Тако их прехрани ону годину хлебом за сву стоку њихову.
18 The next year they came to him again and said, “We cannot hide this from you: We have no more money, and now our livestock belongs to you. We have only our bodies and our land to give to you. We have nothing else left.
А кад прође она година, стадоше опет долазити к њему друге године говорећи: Не можемо тајити од господара свог, али је новаца нестало, и стока коју имасмо у нашег је господара; и није остало ништа да донесемо господару свом осим телеса наших и њива наших.
19 (If you do not give us some food, we will die!/Do you want to watch us die?) [RHQ] If you do not give us seeds, our fields will become useless [IDM]. Buy us and our land in exchange for food. Then we will be the king’s slaves, and he will own the land. Give us seeds that we can plant and grow food, in order that we will not die, and in order that our land will not become like a desert.”
Зашто да мремо на твоје очи? Ево и нас и наших њива; купи нас и њиве наше за хлеб, да с њивама својим будемо робови Фараону, и дај жита да останемо живи и не помремо и да земља не опусти.
20 So Joseph bought all the farms in Egypt for the king. The people of Egypt each sold their land to him because the famine was very severe, [and they had no other way to get money to buy food]. So all the farms became the king’s farms.
Тако покупова Јосиф Фараону све њиве у Мисиру, јер Мисирци продаваху сваки своју њиву, кад глад узе јако маха међу њима. И земља поста Фараонова.
21 As a result, Joseph caused all the people from one border of the country to the other to become the king’s slaves.
А народ пресели у градове од једног краја Мисира до другог.
22 But he did not buy the priests’ land, because they received food from the king regularly, so the food that the king gave them was enough for them. That is the reason they did not sell their land to him.
Само не купи свештеничке њиве; јер Фараон одреди део свештеницима, и храњаху се од свог дела, који им даде Фараон, те не продаше својих њива.
23 Joseph said to the people [who sold themselves and their land to him], “Listen to me! Today I have bought you and your land for the king. So here are seeds for you so that you can plant them in the ground.
А Јосиф рече народу: Ево купих данас вас и њиве ваше Фараону; ево вам семе, па засејте њиве.
24 But when you harvest the crop, you must give one-fifth of the crop to the king. The rest of the crop you can keep, to be seed to plant in the fields, and to be food for you and your children and for everyone else in your household to eat.”
А шта буде рода, даћете пето Фараону, а четири дела нека буду вама за семе по њивама и за храну вама и онима који су по кућама вашим и за храну деци вашој.
25 They replied, “You have saved our lives! We want you to be pleased with us. And we will be the king’s slaves.”
А они рекоше: Ти си нам живот сачувао; нека нађемо милост пред господарем својим да будемо робови Фараону.
26 So Joseph made a law about all the land in Egypt, stating that one-fifth of the crops that are harvested belongs to the king. That law still exists. Only the land that belonged to the priests did not become the king’s land.
И постави Јосиф закон до данашњег дана за њиве мисирске да се даје пето Фараону; само њиве свештеничке не посташе Фараонове.
27 Jacob and his family started to live in Egypt, in the Goshen region. They acquired property there. Many children were born to them there. As a result, their population increased greatly.
А деца Израиљева живљаху у земљи мисирској у крају гесемском, и држаху га, и народише се и намножише се веома.
28 Jacob lived in Egypt 17 years. Altogether he lived 147 years.
И Јаков поживе у земљи мисирској седамнаест година; а свега би Јакову сто и четрдесет и седам година.
29 When it was almost time for him to die, he summoned his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have pleased you, make a solemn promise that you will be kind to me and faithfully do what I am now asking you: When I die, do not bury me here in Egypt.
А кад се приближи време Израиљу да умре, дозва сина свог Јосифа, и рече му: Ако сам нашао милост пред тобом, метни руку своју под стегно моје, и учини ми милост и веру, немој ме погрепсти у Мисиру;
30 Instead, take my body out of Egypt, and bury it in Canaan where my ancestors are buried.” Joseph replied, “I will do that.”
Него нека лежим код отаца својих; и ти ме однеси из Мисира и погреби ме у гробу њиховом. А он рече: Учинићу како си казао.
31 Jacob said, “(Swear/Solemnly promise) to me that you will do it!” So Joseph swore to do it. Then Jacob turned over in bed, bowed his head, and worshiped God.
И рече му Јаков: Закуни ми се. И он му се закле. И поклони се Израиљ преко узглавља од одра свог.
