Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelleth in the land of his father's sojournings — in the land of Canaan.
Jakob je prebival v deželi, v kateri je bil njegov oče tujec, v kánaanski deželi.
2 These [are] births of Jacob: Joseph, a son of seventeen years, hath been enjoying himself with his brethren among the flock, (and he [is] a youth, ) with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and Joseph bringeth in an account of their evil unto their father.
To so Jakobovi rodovi. Jožef je bil star sedemnajst let, ko je s svojimi brati pasel trop in deček je bil s sinovi Bilhe in s sinovi Zilpe, ženama svojega očeta. Jožef je svojemu očetu prinesel njihovo zlo poročilo.
3 And Israel hath loved Joseph more than any of his sons, for he [is] a son of his old age, and hath made for him a long coat;
Torej Izrael je bolj ljubil Jožefa kakor vse svoje otroke, ker je bil sin njegove visoke starosti. Naredil mu je plašč iz mnogih barv.
4 and his brethren see that their father hath loved him more than any of his brethren, and they hate him, and have not been able to speak [to] him peaceably.
Ko so njegovi bratje videli, da ga je njihov oče bolj ljubil kakor vse njegove brate, so ga zasovražili in niso mogli miroljubno govoriti z njim.
5 And Joseph dreameth a dream, and declareth to his brethren, and they add still more to hate him.
Jožef je sanjal sanje in te je povedal svojim bratom, oni pa so ga še bolj sovražili.
6 And he saith unto them, 'Hear ye, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
Rekel jim je: »Poslušajte, prosim vas, te sanje, ki sem jih sanjal.
7 that, lo, we are binding bundles in the midst of the field, and lo, my bundle hath arisen, and hath also stood up, and lo, your bundles are round about, and bow themselves to my bundle.'
Kajti, glejte, na polju smo vezali snope in glejte, moj snop je vstal in tudi stal pokončno. Glejte, vaši snopi so stali naokoli in se globoko priklanjali mojemu snopu.«
8 And his brethren say to him, 'Dost thou certainly reign over us? dost thou certainly rule over us?' and they add still more to hate him, for his dreams, and for his words.
Njegovi bratje so mu rekli: »Ali boš zares kraljeval nad nami? Ali boš zares imel gospostvo nad nami?« In še bolj so ga zasovražili zaradi njegovih sanj in zaradi njegovih besed.
9 And he dreameth yet another dream, and recounteth it to his brethren, and saith, 'Lo, I have dreamed a dream again, and lo, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars, are bowing themselves to me.'
Sanjal je še druge sanje in te povedal svojim bratom in rekel: »Glejte, še sem sanjal sanje. Glejte globoko so se mi priklanjali sonce in luna in enajst zvezd.«
10 And he recounteth unto his father, and unto his brethren; and his father pusheth against him, and saith to him, 'What [is] this dream which thou hast dreamt? do we certainly come — I, and thy mother, and thy brethren — to bow ourselves to thee, to the earth?'
Te je povedal svojemu očetu in svojim bratom. Njegov oče pa ga je oštel in mu rekel: »Kaj so te sanje, ki si jih sanjal? Naj zares pridemo jaz, tvoja mati in tvoji bratje, da se ti priklonimo k zemlji?«
11 and his brethren are zealous against him, and his father hath watched the matter.
Njegovi bratje so mu zavidali, toda njegov oče je obeležil besede.
12 And his brethren go to feed the flock of their father in Shechem,
Njegovi bratje so odšli, da pasejo trop svojega očeta v Sihemu.
13 and Israel saith unto Joseph, 'Are not thy brethren feeding in Shechem? come, and I send thee unto them;' and he saith to him, 'Here [am] I;'
Izrael je rekel Jožefu: »Mar tvoji bratje ne pasejo tropa v Sihemu? Pridi in poslal te bom k njim.« Ta mu je rekel: »Tukaj sem.«
14 and he saith to him, 'Go, I pray thee, see the peace of thy brethren, and the peace of the flock, and bring me back word;' and he sendeth him from the valley of Hebron, and he cometh to Shechem.
Rekel mu je: »Pojdi, prosim te, poglej če je dobro s tvojimi brati in dobro s tropi in besedo mi ponovno prinesi nazaj.« Tako ga je poslal iz hebrónske doline in je prišel v Sihem.
15 And a man findeth him, and lo, he is wandering in the field, and the man asketh him, saying, 'What seekest thou?'
Našel pa ga je nek mož in glej, taval je po polju in človek ga je vprašal, rekoč: »Kaj iščeš?«
16 and he saith, 'My brethren I am seeking, declare to me, I pray thee, where they are feeding?'
Rekel je: »Iščem svoje brate. Povej mi, prosim te, kje pasejo svoje trope.«
17 And the man saith, 'They have journeyed from this, for I have heard some saying, Let us go to Dothan,' and Joseph goeth after his brethren, and findeth them in Dothan.
Človek je rekel: »Odpravili so se od tod, kajti slišal sem jih reči: ›Pojdimo v Dotán.‹« Jožef je odšel za svojimi brati in jih našel v Dotánu.
18 And they see him from afar, even before he draweth near unto them, and they conspire against him to put him to death.
Ko so ga od daleč zagledali, celo preden se jim je približal, so se zoper njega zarotili, da ga ubijejo.
19 And they say one unto another, 'Lo, this man of the dreams cometh;
Drug drugemu so rekli: »Glejte, ta sanjač prihaja.
20 and now, come, and we slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and have said, An evil beast hath devoured him; and we see what his dreams are.'
Pridimo torej, ubijmo ga in ga vrzimo v neko jamo in bomo rekli: ›Neka zla žival ga je požrla‹ in bomo videli, kaj bo nastalo iz njegovih sanj.«
21 And Reuben heareth, and delivereth him out of their hand, and saith, 'Let us not smite the life;'
Ruben pa je to slišal in ga osvobodil iz njihovih rok in rekel: »Naj ga ne ubijemo mi.«
22 and Reuben saith unto them, 'Shed no blood; cast him into this pit which [is] in the wilderness, and put not forth a hand upon him,' — in order to deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back unto his father.
Ruben jim je rekel: »Ne prelijmo krvi, temveč ga vrzimo v tole jamo, ki je v divjini in ne položimo roke nanj, « da bi ga lahko osvobodil iz njihovih rok, da ga ponovno izroči njegovemu očetu.
23 And it cometh to pass, when Joseph hath come unto his brethren, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat which [is] upon him,
Pripetilo pa se je, ko je Jožef prišel k svojim bratom, da so Jožefa slekli iz njegovega plašča, njegovega plašča iz mnogih barv, ki je bil na njem
24 and take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit [is] empty, there is no water in it.
in ga prijeli ter vrgli v jamo. Jama pa je bila prazna, v njej ni bilo vode.
25 And they sit down to eat bread, and they lift up their eyes, and look, and lo, a company of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, and their camels bearing spices, and balm, and myrrh, going to take [them] down to Egypt.
Usedli so se, da jedo kruh in povzdignili so svoje oči, pogledali in glej, skupina Izmaelcev je prihajala iz Gileáda, s svojimi kamelami, nesoč dišave, balzam in miro, da to odnesejo dol v Egipt.
26 And Judah saith unto his brethren, 'What gain when we slay our brother, and have concealed his blood?
Juda je rekel svojim bratom: »Kakšna korist je to, če ubijemo svojega brata in prikrijemo njegovo kri?
27 Come, and we sell him to the Ishmaelites, and our hands are not on him, for he [is] our brother — our flesh;' and his brethren hearken.
Pridite in prodajmo ga Izmaelcem in naj naša roka ne bo nad njim, kajti on je naš brat in naše meso.« Njegovi bratje so bili zadovoljni.
28 And Midianite merchantmen pass by and they draw out and bring up Joseph out of the pit, and sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silverlings, and they bring Joseph into Egypt.
Potem so šli mimo midjánski trgovci in Jožefa so potegnili ter dvignili iz jame in Jožefa prodali Izmaelcem za dvajset koščkov srebra in ti so Jožefa pripeljali v Egipt.
29 And Reuben returneth unto the pit, and lo, Joseph is not in the pit, and he rendeth his garments,
Ruben pa se je vrnil k jami in glej, Jožefa ni bilo v jami. Raztrgal je svoja oblačila
30 and he returneth unto his brethren, and saith, 'The lad is not, and I — whither am I going?'
in se vrnil k svojim bratom ter rekel: »Otroka ni in kam naj grem jaz?«
31 And they take the coat of Joseph, and slaughter a kid of the goats, and dip the coat in the blood,
Vzeli so Jožefov plašč, zaklali kozlička izmed koz in plašč pomočili v kri
32 and send the long coat, and they bring [it] in unto their father, and say, 'This have we found; discern, we pray thee, whether it [is] thy son's coat or not?'
in poslali so plašč iz mnogih barv in ga prinesli k svojemu očetu ter rekli: »To smo našli. Védi torej, ali je to plašč tvojega sina ali ne.«
33 And he discerneth it, and saith, 'My son's coat! an evil beast hath devoured him; torn — torn is Joseph!'
Prepoznal ga je in rekel: » To je plašč mojega sina. Zla žival ga je požrla. Jožef je brez dvoma raztrgan na koščke.«
34 And Jacob rendeth his raiment, and putteth sackcloth on his loins, and becometh a mourner for his son many days,
Jakob je raztrgal svoja oblačila in na svoja ledja oblekel vrečevino in mnogo dni žaloval za svojim sinom.
35 and all his sons and all his daughters rise to comfort him, and he refuseth to comfort himself, and saith, 'For — I go down mourning unto my son, to Sheol,' and his father weepeth for him. (Sheol h7585)
Vsi njegovi sinovi in vse njegove hčere so vstali, da ga potolažijo, toda odklonil je, da bi bil potolažen in rekel je: »Kajti žalujoč bom šel v grob k svojemu sinu.« Tako je njegov oče jokal za njim. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Medanites have sold him unto Egypt, to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners.
Midjánci pa so ga prodali v Egipt k Potifárju, faraonovemu častniku in poveljniku straže.
