Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph could not control himself before all the servants who stood by him. He said loudly, “Everyone must leave me.” So no servant stood by him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
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 He wept loudly, the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard of it.
Briznuo je u glasan plač, da su ga i Egipćani mogli čuti. Doznalo se za to i na faraonovu dvoru.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” His brothers could not answer him, for they were shocked in his presence.
“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 Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” They came near. He said, “I am Joseph your brother, whom you 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 Do not be grieved or angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent me ahead of you to preserve life.
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 the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing 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 God sent me ahead of you to preserve you as a remnant in the earth, and to keep 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 So now it was not you who sent me here but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, master of all his house, and ruler of 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 Hurry and go up to my father and say to him, 'This is what your son Joseph says, “God has made me master of all Egypt. Come down to 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 You will live in the land of Goshen, and you will be near me, you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks and your herds, and all that you have.
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 I will provide for you there, for there are still five years of famine, so that you do not come to poverty, you, your household, and all that you have.”'
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 Look, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
Ta svojim očima možete vidjeti, kao što vidi i moj brat Benjamin, da vam to moja usta govore.
13 You will tell my father about all my honor in Egypt and of all that you have seen. You will hurry and bring my father down here.”
Pripovjedite ocu o mome visokom položaju u Egiptu i sve što ste vidjeli; i brzo mi ovamo oca dovedite!”
14 He hugged his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.
Potom zagrli brata Benjamina te zaplaka; a plakao je i Benjamin obisnuvši mu oko vrata.
15 He kissed all his brothers and wept over them. After that his brothers talked with him.
Izljubi zatim svu svoju braću, u naručju im se rasplaka. Poslije toga njegova braća zađu s njim u razgovor.
16 The news of the matter was told in Pharaoh's house: “Joseph's brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh and his servants very much.
Glas se pročuje u faraonovu dvoru: “Stigla Josipova braća!” Bilo je to drago faraonu i njegovim dvoranima.
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go to 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 Get your father and your households and come to me. I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat 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 Now you are commanded, 'Do this, take carts out of the land of Egypt for your children and for your wives. Get your father and come.
A naredi i ovo: 'Ovako učinite: Iz zemlje egipatske potjerajte kola za svoju djecu i svoje žene, uzmite oca i dođite.
20 Do not be concerned about your possessions, for the good 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 The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them carts, according to the command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.
Sinovi Izraelovi tako učine. Po faraonovoj zapovijedi Josip im dade kola i popudbinu.
22 To all of them he gave each man changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
Svakom od njih dade nove haljine, a Benjaminu dade tri stotine srebrnika i petore haljine.
23 For his father he sent this: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt; and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and other supplies for his father for the journey.
Isto tako pošalje svome ocu: deset magaraca natovarenih najboljim plodovima egipatskim i deset magarica natovarenih žitom, kruhom i namirnicama ocu za put.
24 So he sent his brothers away and they left. He said to them, “See that you do not quarrel on the journey.”
Isprativši svoju braću na put, reče im: “Nemojte se putem svađati!”
25 They went up out of Egypt and came to the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.
I tako oni odoše iz Egipta i stigoše u zemlju kanaansku, k svome ocu Jakovu.
26 They told him saying “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart was astonished, for he could not believe what they told him.
Kad mu rekoše: “Josip je živ i čak vlada nad svom zemljom egipatskom!”, njegovo se srce skameni jer im nije mogao vjerovati.
27 They told him all the words of Joseph that he had said to them. When Jacob saw the carts that Joseph had sent to carry him, 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 Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
“Dosta”, reče Izrael. “Sin moj Josip još je živ! Moram poći i vidjeti ga prije nego umrem.”
