Genesis 47

1 And Joseph cometh, and declareth to Pharaoh, and saith, 'My father, and my brethren, and their flock, and their herd, and all they have, have come from the land of Canaan, and lo, they [are] in the land of Goshen.'

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.«

2 And out of his brethren he hath taken five men, and setteth them before Pharaoh;

Vzel je nekatere izmed svojih bratov, pet mož in jih predstavil faraonu.

3 and Pharaoh saith unto his brethren, 'What [are] your works?' and they say unto Pharaoh, 'Thy servants [are] feeders of a flock, both we and our fathers;'

Faraon je njegovim bratom rekel: »Kakšen je vaš poklic?« Faraonu so odgovorili: »Tvoji služabniki so pastirji, tako mi, kakor tudi naši očetje.«

4 and they say unto Pharaoh, 'To sojourn in the land we have come, for there is no pasture for the flock which thy servants have, for grievous [is] the famine in the land of Canaan; and now, let thy servants, we pray thee, dwell in the land of Goshen.'

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 And Pharaoh speaketh unto Joseph, saying, 'Thy father and thy brethren have come unto thee:

Faraon je Jožefu spregovoril, rekoč: »Tvoj oče in tvoji bratje so prišli k tebi.

6 the land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land cause thy father and thy brethren to dwell — they dwell in the land of Goshen, and if thou hast known, and there are among them men of ability, then thou hast set them heads over the cattle I have.'

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 And Joseph bringeth in Jacob his father, and causeth him to stand before Pharaoh; and Jacob blesseth Pharaoh.

Jožef je privedel svojega očeta Jakoba in ga postavil pred faraona in Jakob je blagoslovil faraona.

8 And Pharaoh saith unto Jacob, 'How many [are] the days of the years of thy life?'

Faraon je Jakobu rekel: »Koliko si star?«

9 And Jacob saith unto Pharaoh, 'The days of the years of my sojournings [are] an hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojournings.'

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 And Jacob blesseth Pharaoh, and goeth out from before Pharaoh.

Jakob je blagoslovil faraona in odšel izpred faraona.

11 And Joseph settleth his father and his brethren, and giveth to them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh commanded;

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 and Joseph nourisheth his father, and his brethren, and all the house of his father [with] bread, according to the mouth of the infants.

Jožef je vzdrževal svojega očeta, svoje brate in vso družino svojega očeta s kruhom, glede na njihove družine.

13 And there is no bread in all the land, for the famine [is] very grievous, and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan are feeble because of the famine;

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 and Joseph gathereth all the silver that is found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn that they are buying, and Joseph bringeth the silver into the house of Pharaoh.

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 And the silver is consumed out of the land of Egypt, and out of the land of Canaan, and all the Egyptians come in unto Joseph, saying, 'Give to us bread — why do we die before thee, though the money hath ceased?'

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 and Joseph saith, 'Give your cattle; and I give to you for your cattle, if the money hath ceased.'

Jožef je rekel: »Dajte svojo živino in jaz vam bom dal za vašo živino, če je denarja zmanjkalo.«

17 And they bring in their cattle unto Joseph, and Joseph giveth to them bread, for the horses, and for the cattle of the flock, and for the cattle of the herd, and for the asses; and he tendeth them with bread, for all their cattle, during that year.

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 And that year is finished, and they come in unto him on the second year, and say to him, 'We do not hide from my lord, that since the money hath been finished, and possession of the cattle [is] unto my lord, there hath not been left before my lord save our bodies, and our ground;

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 why do we die before thine eyes, both we and our ground? buy us and our ground for bread, and we and our ground are servants to Pharaoh; and give seed, and we live, and die not, and the ground is not desolate.'

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 And Joseph buyeth all the ground of Egypt for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians have sold each his field, for the famine hath been severe upon them, and the land becometh Pharaoh's;

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 to the people he hath removed them to cities from the [one] end of the border of Egypt even unto its [other] end.

Kar se tiče ljudstva, jih je premestil v mesta, od enega konca egiptovskih meja, celo do drugega njegovega konca.

22 Only the ground of the priests he hath not bought, for the priests have a portion from Pharaoh, and they have eaten their portion which Pharaoh hath given to them, therefore they have not sold their ground.

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 And Joseph saith unto the people, 'Lo, I have bought you to-day and your ground for Pharaoh; lo, seed for you, and ye have sown 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 and it hath come to pass in the increases, that ye have given a fifth to Pharaoh, and four of the parts are for yourselves, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those who [are] in your houses, and for food for your infants.'

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 And they say, 'Thou hast revived us; we find grace in the eyes of my lord, and have been servants to Pharaoh;'

Rekli so: »Rešil si naša življenja. Naj najdemo milost v očeh mojega gospoda, mi pa bomo faraonovi služabniki.«

26 and Joseph setteth it for a statute unto this day, concerning the ground of Egypt, [that] Pharaoh hath a fifth; only the ground of the priests alone hath not become Pharaoh's.

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 And Israel dwelleth in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they have possession in it, and are fruitful, and multiply exceedingly;

Izrael je prebival v egiptovski deželi, v pokrajini Gošen in v njej so imeli posesti in rastli ter se silno pomnožili.

28 and Jacob liveth in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the days of Jacob, the years of his life, are an hundred and forty and seven years.

Jakob je v egiptovski deželi živel sedemnajst let. Tako je bila celotna Jakobova starost sto sedeminštirideset let.

29 And the days of Israel are near to die, and he calleth for his son, for Joseph, and saith to him, 'If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and thou hast done with me kindness and truth; bury me not, I pray thee, 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 and I have lain with my fathers, and thou hast borne me out of Egypt, and buried me in their burying-place.' And he saith, 'I — I do according to thy word;'

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 and he saith, 'Swear to me;' and he sweareth to him, and Israel boweth himself on the head of the bed.

Rekel je: »Prisezi mi.« In prisegel mu je. In Izrael se je priklonil na vzglavju postelje.
