Postanak 37
1 A Jakov življaše u zemlji gdje mu je otac bio došljak, u zemlji Hananskoj.
Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.
2 Ovo su dogaðaji Jakovljevi. Josif kad bješe momak od sedamnaest godina, pasijaše stoku s braæom svojom, koju rodiše Vala i Zelfa žene oca njegova; i donošaše Josif zle glasove o njima ocu svojemu.
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, tended the flock with his brothers; he was an assistant to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report about them to their father.
3 A Izrailj ljubljaše Josifa najveæma izmeðu svijeh sinova svojih, jer mu se rodio pod starost; i naèini mu šarenu haljinu.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he had been born to him in his old age. And he made a long ornamented robe for him.
4 A braæa videæi gdje ga otac ljubi najveæma izmeðu sve braæe njegove, stadoše mrziti na nj tako da mu ne mogahu lijepe rijeèi progovoriti.
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak a kind word to him.
5 Uz to usni Josif san i pripovjedi braæi svojoj, te oni još veæma omrznu na nj.
Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 Jer im reèe: da èujete san što sam snio:
He said to them, "Please listen to this dream I had:
7 Vezasmo snoplje u polju, pa moj snop usta i ispravi se, a vaši snopovi iðahu unaokolo i klanjahu se snopu mojemu.
And look, we were binding sheaves in the field, and look, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And look, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf."
8 Tada mu braæa rekoše: da neæeš još biti car nad nama i zapovijedati nam? Stoga još veæma stadoše mrziti na nj radi sanova njegovijeh i radi rijeèi njegovijeh.
Then his brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed rule over us?" So they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he said.
9 Poslije opet usni drugi san, i pripovjedi braæi svojoj govoreæi: usnih opet san, a to se sunce i mjesec i jedanaest zvijezda klanjahu meni.
And he had another dream, and told it to his father and to his brothers, and said, "Look, I had yet another dream, and look, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me."
10 A pripovjedi i ocu svojemu i braæi svojoj; ali ga otac prekori i reèe mu: kakav je to san što si snio? eda li æemo doæi ja i mati tvoja i braæa tvoja da se klanjamo tebi do zemlje?
When he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you had? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come and bow down to the ground in front of you?"
11 I zaviðahu mu braæa; ali otac njegov èuvaše ove rijeèi.
His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept thinking about the matter.
12 A kad braæa njegova otidoše da pasu stoku oca svojega kod Sihema,
Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.
13 Reèe Izrailj Josifu: ne pasu li braæa tvoja stoku kod Sihema? hajde da te pošljem k njima. A on reèe: evo me.
And Israel said to Joseph, "Aren't your brothers pasturing the flock near Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I am ready."
14 A on mu reèe: idi, vidi kako su braæa tvoja i kako je stoka, pa doði da mi javiš. I opravi ga iz doline Hevronske, i on otide put Sihema.
So he said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and report back to me." So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 I èovjek jedan naðe ga a on luta po polju, te ga zapita govoreæi: šta tražiš?
And a man found him, and look, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
16 A on reèe: tražim braæu svoju; kaži mi, molim te, gdje su sa stokom?
He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock."
17 A èovjek reèe: otišli su odavde, jer èuh gdje rekoše: hajdemo u Dotaim. I otide Josif za braæom svojom, i naðe ih u Dotaimu.
The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 A oni ga ugledaše izdaleka; i dok još ne doðe blizu njih, stadoše se dogovarati da ga ubiju,
Now they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they plotted against him to kill him.
19 I rekoše meðu sobom: gle, evo onoga što sne sanja.
And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming.
20 Hajde sada da ga ubijemo i da ga bacimo u koju od ovijeh jama, pa æemo kazati: ljuta ga je zvjerka izjela. Onda æemo vidjeti šta æe biti od njegovijeh sanova.
Come now, and let's kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns, and we will say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we will see what will become of his dreams."
21 Ali Ruvim kad èu to, izbavi ga iz ruku njihovijeh rekav: nemojte da ga ubijemo.
But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let's not take his life."
22 I još im reèe Ruvim: nemojte krvi proljevati; bacite ga u ovu jamu u pustinji, a ne dižite ruke na nj. A on ga šæaše izbaviti iz ruku njihovijeh i odvesti k ocu.
Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him"—that he might deliver him out of their hands, to restore him to his father.
23 I kad Josif doðe k braæi svojoj, svukoše s njega haljinu njegovu, haljinu šarenu, koju imaše na sebi.
It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing.
24 I uhvativši ga baciše ga u jamu; a jama bješe prazna, ne bješe vode u njoj.
And they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now the pit was empty. There was no water in it.)
25 Poslije sjedoše da jedu. I podigavši oèi ugledaše, a to gomila Ismailjaca iðaše od Galada s kamilama natovarenim mirisavoga korijenja i tamjana i smirne, te nošahu u Misir.
Then they sat down to eat a meal. And they looked up, and look, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh on their way to carry them down to Egypt.
26 I reèe Juda braæi svojoj: kaka æe biti korist što æemo ubiti brata svojega i zatajiti krv njegovu?
Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
27 Hajde da ga prodamo ovijem Ismailjcima pa da ne dižemo ruke svoje na nj, jer nam je brat, naše je tijelo. I poslušaše ga braæa njegova.
Come, and let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay a hand on him, for he is our brother, our flesh." And his brothers agreed.
28 Pa kad trgovci Madijamski bijahu pored njih, oni izvukoše i izvadiše Josifa iz jame, i prodadoše Josifa Ismailjcima za dvadeset srebrnika; i oni odvedoše Josifa u Misir.
So the Midianites merchants passed by, and they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the cistern, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt.
29 A kad se Ruvim vrati k jami, a to nema Josifa u jami; tada razdrije haljine svoje,
And Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph wasn't in the cistern; and he tore his clothes.
30 Pa se vrati k braæi svojoj, i reèe: nema djeteta; a ja kuda æu?
He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone. Now, what am I to do?"
31 Tada uzeše haljinu Josifovu, i zaklavši jare zamoèiše haljinu u krv,
They took Joseph's robe and killed a male goat and dipped the robe in the blood.
32 Pa onda poslaše šarenu haljinu ocu njegovu poruèivši: naðosmo ovu haljinu, vidi je li haljina sina tvojega ili nije.
And they sent the long ornamented robe and they brought it to their father, and said, "We found this. Please examine it to see whether it is your son's robe or not."
33 A on je pozna i reèe: sina je mojega haljina; ljuta ga je zvjerka izjela; Josif je doista raskinut.
And he recognized it, and said, "It is my son's robe. A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."
34 I razdrije Jakov haljine svoje, i veza kostrijet oko sebe; i tužaše za sinom svojim dugo vremena.
Then Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
35 I svi sinovi njegovi i sve kæeri njegove ustadoše oko njega tješeæi ga, ali se on ne dadijaše utješiti, nego govoraše: s tugom æu u grob leæi za sinom svojim. Pa i njegov otac plakaše za njim. (Sheol h7585)
All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Indeed, I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning." And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 A Madijanci prodadoše ga u Misir Petefriju, dvoraninu Faraonovu, zapovjedniku stražarskom.
Now the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
