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.”
Potem je prišel Jožef in povedal faraonu ter rekel: »Moj oče, moji bratje, njihovi tropi, njihove črede in vse, kar imajo, so prišli iz kánaanske dežele. Glej, v gošenski deželi so.«
Vzel je nekatere izmed svojih bratov, pet mož in jih predstavil faraonu.
3 The king asked the brothers, “What work do you do?” They replied, “We are shepherds, just as our ancestors were.”
Faraon je njegovim bratom rekel: »Kakšen je vaš poklic?« Faraonu so odgovorili: »Tvoji služabniki so pastirji, tako mi, kakor tudi naši očetje.«
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.”
Poleg tega so faraonu rekli: »Zato smo prišli, da začasno prebivamo v deželi, kajti tvoji služabniki nimajo pašnika za svoje trope, kajti huda lakota je v kánaanski deželi. Sedaj te torej prosimo, naj tvoji služabniki prebivajo v gošenski deželi.«
5 The king said to Joseph, “I am happy that your father and your [older] brothers [and younger brother] have come to you.
Faraon je Jožefu spregovoril, rekoč: »Tvoj oče in tvoji bratje so prišli k tebi.
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.”
Egiptovska dežela je pred teboj. V najboljši deželi pripravi svojemu očetu in bratom, da prebivajo. V gošenski deželi naj prebivajo in če poznaš med njimi katerekoli marljive ljudi, potem jih naredi gospodarje nad mojo živino.«
7 Then Joseph brought his father Jacob [into the palace] and introduced him to the king. Jacob asked God to bless the king.
Jožef je privedel svojega očeta Jakoba in ga postavil pred faraona in Jakob je blagoslovil faraona.
8 Then the king asked Jacob, “How old are you?”
Faraon je Jakobu rekel: »Koliko si star?«
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.”
Jakob je faraonu rekel: »Dni let mojega popotovanja je sto trideset let. Malo in zli so bili dnevi let mojega življenja in nisem dosegel dni let življenja svojih očetov v dneh njihovega popotovanja.«
10 Then Jacob again [asked God to] bless the king, and left him.
Jakob je blagoslovil faraona in odšel izpred faraona.
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.
Jožef je namestil svojega očeta in svoje brate ter jim dal posest v egiptovski deželi, v najboljšem delu dežele, v Ramesésovi deželi, kakor je faraon zapovedal.
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.
Jožef je vzdrževal svojega očeta, svoje brate in vso družino svojega očeta s kruhom, glede na njihove družine.
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.
In ni bilo kruha v vsej deželi, kajti lakota je bila zelo huda, tako da je egiptovska dežela in vsa kánaanska dežela zaradi lakote slabela.
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.
Jožef je zbral ves denar, ki se je našel v egiptovski deželi in v kánaanski deželi, za žito, ki so ga kupovali. In Jožef je denar prinesel v faraonovo hišo.
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!”
Ko pa je v egiptovski deželi in v kánaanski deželi zmanjkalo denarja, so vsi Egipčani prišli k Jožefu in rekli: »Daj nam kruha, kajti zakaj bi umrli v tvoji prisotnosti? Kajti denarja je zmanjkalo.«
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.”
Jožef je rekel: »Dajte svojo živino in jaz vam bom dal za vašo živino, če je denarja zmanjkalo.«
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.
Svojo živino so privedli k Jožefu in Jožef jim je dal kruha v zameno za konje in za trope in za živino od čred in za osle in to leto jih je nahranil s kruhom za vso njihovo živino.
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.
Ko je bilo to leto končano, so prišli k njemu drugo leto in mu rekli: » Tega ne bomo skrivali pred mojim gospodom, da je naš denar porabljen. Moj gospod ima tudi naše črede in živino. Sploh ni veliko ostalo v očeh mojega gospoda, razen naših teles in naših zemljišč.
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.”
Zakaj bi umrli pred tvojimi očmi, tako mi kakor naša dežela? Kupi nas in našo deželo za kruh, pa bomo mi in naša dežela služabniki faraonu. Daj nam seme, da bomo lahko živeli in ne umrli, da dežela ne bo zapuščena.«
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.
Jožef je vso egiptovsko deželo kupil za faraona, kajti Egipčani so prodali vsak človek svoje polje, ker je nad njimi prevladala lakota in tako je dežela postala faraonova.
21 As a result, Joseph caused all the people from one border of the country to the other to become the king’s slaves.
Kar se tiče ljudstva, jih je premestil v mesta, od enega konca egiptovskih meja, celo do drugega njegovega konca.
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.
Samo zemljišč duhovnikov ni pokupil, kajti duhovniki so imeli od faraona njim določen delež in jedli svoj delež, ki jim ga je faraon dajal, zato svojih zemljišč niso prodali.
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.
Potem je Jožef rekel ljudstvu: »Glejte, danes sem kupil vas in vašo deželo za faraona. Glejte, tukaj je seme za vas in vi boste posejali deželo.
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.”
Z donosom se bo zgodilo, da boste peti del dali faraonu, štirje deli pa bodo vaši lastni, za seme polja in za vašo hrano in za tiste iz vaših družin in za hrano za vaše malčke.«
25 They replied, “You have saved our lives! We want you to be pleased with us. And we will be the king’s slaves.”
Rekli so: »Rešil si naša življenja. Naj najdemo milost v očeh mojega gospoda, mi pa bomo faraonovi služabniki.«
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.
Jožef je to naredil v egiptovski deželi [za] zakon do današnjega dne, da bo imel faraon peti del, razen dežele duhovnikov, ki ni postala faraonova.
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.
Izrael je prebival v egiptovski deželi, v pokrajini Gošen in v njej so imeli posesti in rastli ter se silno pomnožili.
28 Jacob lived in Egypt 17 years. Altogether he lived 147 years.
Jakob je v egiptovski deželi živel sedemnajst let. Tako je bila celotna Jakobova starost sto sedeminštirideset let.
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.
Približal se je čas, ko je Izrael moral umreti in poklical je svojega sina Jožefa ter mu rekel: »Če sem sedaj našel milost v tvojem pogledu, položi, prosim te, svojo roko pod moje stegno ter z menoj postopaj dobrotljivo in iskreno. Ne pokoplji me, prosim te, v Egiptu,
30 Instead, take my body out of Egypt, and bury it in Canaan where my ancestors are buried.” Joseph replied, “I will do that.”
temveč hočem ležati s svojimi očeti in ti me boš odnesel iz Egipta in me pokopal na njihovem grobišču.« Rekel je: »Storil bom kakor si rekel.«
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.
Rekel je: »Prisezi mi.« In prisegel mu je. In Izrael se je priklonil na vzglavju postelje.
