Postanak 37
1 A Jakov življaše u zemlji gdje mu je otac bio došljak, u zemlji Hananskoj.
And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father’s sojournings, 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, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought the evil report of them unto 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 was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
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.
And his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren; and they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
5 Uz to usni Josif san i pripovjedi braæi svojoj, te oni još veæma omrznu na nj.
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
6 Jer im reèe: da èujete san što sam snio:
And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
7 Vezasmo snoplje u polju, pa moj snop usta i ispravi se, a vaši snopovi iðahu unaokolo i klanjahu se snopu mojemu.
for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves came round about, and made obeisance 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.
And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
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 dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed yet a dream; and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance 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?
And he told it to his father, and to his brethren; and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11 I zaviðahu mu braæa; ali otac njegov èuvaše ove rijeèi.
And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying in mind.
12 A kad braæa njegova otidoše da pasu stoku oca svojega kod Sihema,
And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in 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 unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
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.
And he said to him, Go now, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flock; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale 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 certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 A on reèe: tražim braæu svoju; kaži mi, molim te, gdje su sa stokom?
And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding [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.
And the man said, They are departed hence: for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
18 A oni ga ugledaše izdaleka; i dok još ne doðe blizu njih, stadoše se dogovarati da ga ubiju,
And they saw him afar off, and before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
19 I rekoše meðu sobom: gle, evo onoga što sne sanja.
And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
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 therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, An evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
21 Ali Ruvim kad èu to, izbavi ga iz ruku njihovijeh rekav: nemojte da ga ubijemo.
And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand; and said, Let us 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.
And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood; cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him: that he might deliver him out of their hand, 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.
And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colours that was on him;
24 I uhvativši ga baciše ga u jamu; a jama bješe prazna, ne bješe vode u njoj.
and they took him, and cast him into the pit: and 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.
And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a travelling company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
26 I reèe Juda braæi svojoj: kaka æe biti korist što æemo ubiti brata svojega i zatajiti krv njegovu?
And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay 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 us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brethren hearkened unto him.
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.
And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 A kad se Ruvim vrati k jami, a to nema Josifa u jami; tada razdrije haljine svoje,
And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
30 Pa se vrati k braæi svojoj, i reèe: nema djeteta; a ja kuda æu?
And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
31 Tada uzeše haljinu Josifovu, i zaklavši jare zamoèiše haljinu u krv,
And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat 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 coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son’s coat or not.
33 A on je pozna i reèe: sina je mojega haljina; ljuta ga je zvjerka izjela; Josif je doista raskinut.
And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.
34 I razdrije Jakov haljine svoje, i veza kostrijet oko sebe; i tužaše za sinom svojim dugo vremena.
And Jacob rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, 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)
And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down to the grave to my son mourning. And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 A Madijanci prodadoše ga u Misir Petefriju, dvoraninu Faraonovu, zapovjedniku stražarskom.
And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard.
