Genesis 48
1 It came about after these things, that one said to Joseph, “Look, your father is sick.” So he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Poslije javiše Josifu: eno, otac ti je bolestan. A on povede sa sobom dva sina svoja, Manasiju i Jefrema.
2 When Jacob was told, “Look, your son Joseph has arrived to see you,” Israel gathered strength and sat up in bed.
I javiše Jakovu i rekoše: evo sin tvoj Josif ide k tebi. A Izrailj se okrijepi, te sjede na postelji svojoj.
3 Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan. He blessed me
I reèe Jakov Josifu: Bog svemoguæi javi se meni u Luzu u zemlji Hananskoj, i blagoslovi me;
4 and said to me, 'Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you. I will make of you an assembly of nations. I will give this land to your descendants as an everlasting possession.'
I reèe mi: uèiniæu te da narasteš i namnožiš se; i uèiniæu od tebe mnoštvo naroda, i daæu zemlju ovu sjemenu tvojemu nakon tebe da je njihova dovijeka.
5 Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, they are mine. Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, just as Reuben and Simeon are mine.
Sada dakle dva sina tvoja, što ti se rodiše u zemlji Misirskoj prije nego doðoh k tebi u Misir, moji su, Jefrem i Manasija kao Ruvim i Simeun neka budu moji.
6 The children you have after them will be yours; they will be listed under the names of their brothers in their inheritance.
A djeca koju rodiš poslije njih, neka budu tvoja i neka se po imenu braæe svoje zovu u našljedstvu svojem.
7 But as for me, when I came from Paddan, to my sorrow Rachel died in the land of Canaan on the way, while there was still some distance to go to Ephrath. I buried her there on the way to Ephrath” (that is, Bethlehem).
Jer kad se vratih iz Padana, umrije mi Rahilja u zemlji Hananskoj na putu, kad bješe još malo do Efrate; i pogreboh je na putu u Efratu, a to je Vitlejem.
8 When Israel saw Joseph's sons, he said, “Whose are these?”
A vidjev Izrailj sinove Josifove, reèe: ko su ovi?
9 Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” Israel said, “Bring them to me, that I may bless them.”
A Josif reèe ocu svojemu: moji sinovi, koje mi Bog dade ovdje. A on reèe: dovedi ih k meni, da ih blagoslovim.
10 Now Israel's eyes were failing because of his age, so he could not see. So Joseph brought them near to him, and he kissed them and embraced them.
A oèi bjehu Izrailju otežale od starosti, te ne mogaše dobro vidjeti. A kad mu ih privede, cjeliva ih i zagrli.
11 Israel said to Joseph, “I never expected to see your face again, but God has even allowed me to see your children.”
I reèe Izrailj Josifu: nijesam mislio da æu vidjeti lice tvoje; a gle, Bog mi dade da vidim i porod tvoj.
12 Joseph brought them out from between Israel's knees, and then he bowed with his face to the earth.
A Josif odmaèe ih od koljena njegovijeh i pokloni se licem do zemlje.
13 Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them close to him.
Pa ih uze Josif obojicu, Jefrema sebi s desne strane a Izrailju s lijeve, Manasiju pak sebi s lijeve strane a Izrailju s desne; i tako ih primaèe k njemu.
14 Israel reached out with his right hand and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head. He crossed his hands, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
A Izrailj pruživ desnu ruku svoju metnu je na glavu Jefremu mlaðemu, a lijevu na glavu Manasiji, tako namjestiv ruke navlaš, ako i jest Manasija bio prvenac.
15 Israel blessed Joseph, saying, “The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has cared for me to this day,
I blagoslovi Josifa govoreæi: Bog, kojemu su svagda ugaðali oci moji Avram i Isak, Bog, koji me je hranio otkako sam postao do današnjega dana,
16 the angel who has protected me from all harm, may he bless these boys. May my name be named in them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. May they grow into a multitude on the earth.”
Anðeo, koji me je izbavljao od svakoga zla, da blagoslovi djecu ovu, i da se po mojemu imenu i po imenu otaca mojih Avrama i Isaka prozovu, i da se kao ribe namnože na zemlji!
17 When Joseph saw his father place his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. He took his father's hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
A Josif kad vidje gdje otac metnu desnu ruku svoju na glavu Jefremu, ne bi mu milo, pa uhvati za ruku oca svojega da je premjesti s glave Jefremove na glavu Manasijinu.
18 Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father; for this is the firstborn. Put your right hand upon his head.”
I reèe Josif ocu svojemu: ne tako, oèe; ovo je prvenac, metni desnicu njemu na glavu.
19 His father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. Yet his younger brother will be greater than he, and his descendants will become a multitude of nations.”
Ali otac njegov ne htje, nego reèe: znam, sine, znam; i od njega æe postati narod, i on æe biti velik; ali æe mlaði brat njegov biti veæi od njega, i sjeme æe njegovo biti veliko mnoštvo naroda.
20 Israel blessed them that day with these words, “The people of Israel will pronounce blessings by your names saying, 'May God make you like Ephraim and like Manasseh'.” In this way, Israel put Ephraim before Manasseh.
I blagoslovi ih u onaj dan i reèe: tobom æe Izrailj blagosiljati govoreæi: Bog da te uèini kao Jefrema i kao Manasiju. Tako postavi Jefrema pred Manasiju.
21 Israel said to Joseph, “See, I am about to die, but God will be with you, and will bring you back to the land of your fathers.
Poslije reèe Izrailj Josifu: evo ja æu skoro umrijeti; ali æe Bog biti s vama i odvešæe vas opet u zemlju otaca vaših.
22 To you, as one who is above your brothers, I give to you the mountain slope that I took from the Amorites with my sword and my bow.”
I ja ti dajem jedan dio više nego braæi tvojoj, koji uzeh iz ruku Amorejskih maèem svojim i lukom svojim.
