Genesis 48

1 And it cometh to pass, after these things, that [one] saith to Joseph, 'Lo, thy father is sick;' and he taketh his two sons with him, Manasseh and Ephraim.

Poslije javiše Josifu: eno, otac ti je bolestan. A on povede sa sobom dva sina svoja, Manasiju i Jefrema.

2 And [one] declareth to Jacob, and saith, 'Lo, thy son Joseph is coming unto thee;' and Israel doth strengthen himself, and sit upon the bed.

I javiše Jakovu i rekoše: evo sin tvoj Josif ide k tebi. A Izrailj se okrijepi, te sjede na postelji svojoj.

3 And Jacob saith unto Joseph, 'God Almighty hath appeared unto me, in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blesseth me,

I reèe Jakov Josifu: Bog svemoguæi javi se meni u Luzu u zemlji Hananskoj, i blagoslovi me;

4 and saith unto me, Lo, I am making thee fruitful, and have multiplied thee, and given thee for an assembly of peoples, and given this land to thy seed after thee, a possession age-during.

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 'And now, thy two sons, who are born to thee in the land of Egypt, before my coming unto thee to Egypt, mine they [are]; Ephraim and Manasseh, as Reuben and Simeon they 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 and thy family which thou hast begotten after them are thine; by the name of their brethren they are called in their inheritance.

A djeca koju rodiš poslije njih, neka budu tvoja i neka se po imenu braæe svoje zovu u našljedstvu svojem.

7 'And I — in my coming in from Padan-Aram Rachel hath died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way, while yet a kibrath of land to enter Ephrata, and I bury her there in the way of Ephrata, which [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 And Israel seeth the sons of Joseph, and saith, 'Who [are] these?'

A vidjev Izrailj sinove Josifove, reèe: ko su ovi?

9 and Joseph saith unto his father, 'They [are] my sons, whom God hath given to me in this [place];' and he saith, 'Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I 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 And the eyes of Israel have been heavy from age, he is unable to see; and he bringeth them nigh unto him, and he kisseth them, and cleaveth to them;

A oèi bjehu Izrailju otežale od starosti, te ne mogaše dobro vidjeti. A kad mu ih privede, cjeliva ih i zagrli.

11 and Israel saith unto Joseph, 'To see thy face I had not thought, and lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.'

I reèe Izrailj Josifu: nijesam mislio da æu vidjeti lice tvoje; a gle, Bog mi dade da vidim i porod tvoj.

12 And Joseph bringeth them out from between his knees, and boweth himself on his face to the earth;

A Josif odmaèe ih od koljena njegovijeh i pokloni se licem do zemlje.

13 and Joseph taketh them both, Ephraim in his right hand towards Israel's left, and Manasseh in his left towards Israel's right, and bringeth [them] nigh 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 And Israel putteth out his right hand, and placeth [it] upon the head of Ephraim, who [is] the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh; he hath guided his hands wisely, for Manasseh [is] the first-born.

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 And he blesseth Joseph, and saith, 'God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked habitually: God who is feeding me from my being unto 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 Messenger who is redeeming me from all evil doth bless the youths, and my name is called upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and they increase into a multitude in the midst of the land.'

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 And Joseph seeth that his father setteth his right hand on the head of Ephraim, and it is wrong in his eyes, and he supporteth the hand of his father to turn it aside from off the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasseh;

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 and Joseph saith unto his father, 'Not so, my father, for this [is] the first-born; set thy right hand on his head.'

I reèe Josif ocu svojemu: ne tako, oèe; ovo je prvenac, metni desnicu njemu na glavu.

19 And his father refuseth, and saith, 'I have known, my son, I have known; he also becometh a people, and he also is great, and yet, his young brother is greater than he, and his seed is the fulness of the 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 and he blesseth them in that day, saying, 'By thee doth Israel bless, saying, God set thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh;' and he setteth 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 And Israel saith unto Joseph, 'Lo, I am dying, and God hath been with you, and hath brought you back unto 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 and I — I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I have taken out of the hand of the Amorite by my sword and by my bow.'

I ja ti dajem jedan dio više nego braæi tvojoj, koji uzeh iz ruku Amorejskih maèem svojim i lukom svojim.
