Postanak 37
1 A Jakov življaše u zemlji gdje mu je otac bio došljak, u zemlji Hananskoj.
Jacob lived in the land of his father’s travels, 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.
This is the history of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph brought an evil report of 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 was the son of his old age, and he made him a tunic 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.
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.
5 Uz to usni Josif san i pripovjedi braæi svojoj, te oni još veæma omrznu na nj.
Joseph dreamt 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 hear this dream which I have dreamt:
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 behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, 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.
His brothers asked him, “Will you indeed reign over us? Will you indeed have dominion over us?” They hated him all 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.
He dreamt yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, “Behold, I have dreamt yet another dream: and behold, 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?
He told it to his father and to his brothers. His father rebuked him, and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamt? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to the earth before you?”
11 I zaviðahu mu braæa; ali otac njegov èuvaše ove rijeèi.
His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.
12 A kad braæa njegova otidoše da pasu stoku oca svojega kod Sihema,
His brothers 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.
Israel said to Joseph, “Aren’t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” He said to him, “Here I am.”
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.
He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out of 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?
A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. 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 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.
The man said, “They have left here, for I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’” 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,
They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
19 I rekoše meðu sobom: gle, evo onoga što sne sanja.
They said to one another, “Behold, this dreamer comes.
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’s kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’ 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.
Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, 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 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.
When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic 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 threw him into the pit. 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.
They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices 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?
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 let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers listened to 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.
Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. The merchants brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 A kad se Ruvim vrati k jami, a to nema Josifa u jami; tada razdrije haljine svoje,
Reuben returned to the pit, and saw that Joseph wasn’t in the pit; and he tore his clothes.
30 Pa se vrati k braæi svojoj, i reèe: nema djeteta; a ja kuda æu?
He returned to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?”
31 Tada uzeše haljinu Josifovu, i zaklavši jare zamoèiše haljinu u krv,
They took Joseph’s tunic, and killed a male goat, and dipped the tunic in the blood.
32 Pa onda poslaše šarenu haljinu ocu njegovu poruèivši: naðosmo ovu haljinu, vidi je li haljina sina tvojega ili nije.
They took the tunic of many colours, and they brought it to their father, and said, “We have found this. Examine it, now, and see if it is your son’s tunic or not.”
33 A on je pozna i reèe: sina je mojega haljina; ljuta ga je zvjerka izjela; Josif je doista raskinut.
He recognised it, and said, “It is my son’s tunic. An evil animal has 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.
Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on 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. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” His father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 A Madijanci prodadoše ga u Misir Petefriju, dvoraninu Faraonovu, zapovjedniku stražarskom.
The Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard.
