Postanak 41
1 A poslije dvije godine dana usni Faraon, a on stoji na jednoj rijeci.
After two years Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood by the river,
2 I gle, iz rijeke izaðe sedam krava lijepijeh i debelijeh, i stadoše pasti po obali.
Out of which came up seven kine, very beautiful and fat: and they fed in marshy places.
3 I gle, iza njih izaðe iz rijeke sedam drugih krava, ružnijeh i mršavijeh, i stadoše pored onijeh krava na obali.
Other seven also came up out of the river, ill favoured, and leanfleshed: and they fed on the very bank of the river, in green places:
4 I ove krave ružne i mršave pojedoše onijeh sedam krava lijepijeh i debelijeh. U tom se probudi Faraon.
And they devoured them, whose bodies were very beautiful and well conditioned. So Pharao awoke.
5 Pa opet zaspav usni drugom, a to sedam klasova izraste iz jednoga stabla jedrijeh i lijepijeh;
He slept again, and dreamed another dream: Seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk full and fair:
6 A iza njih isklija sedam klasova malijeh i šturijeh;
Then seven other ears sprung up thin and blasted,
7 Pa ovi klasovi mali pojedoše onijeh sedam velikijeh i jedrijeh. U tom se probudi Faraon i vidje da je san.
And devoured all the beauty of the former. Pharao awaked after his rest:
8 I kad bi ujutru, on se zabrinu u duhu, i poslav sazva sve gatare Misirske i sve mudarce, i pripovjedi im šta je snio; ali niko ne može kazati Faraonu šta znaèi.
And when morning was come, being struck with fear, he sent to all the interpreters of Egypt, and to all the wise men: and they being called for, he told them his dream, and there was not any one that could interpret it.
9 Tada progovori starješina nad peharnicima Faraonu i reèe: danas se opomenuh grijeha svojega.
Then at length the chief butler remembering, said: I confess my sin:
10 Kad se Faraon rasrdi na sluge svoje i baci u tamnicu u kuæi zapovjednika stražarskoga mene i starješinu nad hljebarima,
The king being angry with his servants, commanded me and the chief baker to be cast into the prison of the captain of the soldiers:
11 Usnismo u jednu noæ ja i on, svaki za sebe po znaèenju sna svojega usnismo.
Where in one night both of us dreamed a dream foreboding things to come.
12 A ondje bijaše s nama momèe Jevrejèe, sluga zapovjednika stražarskoga, i mi mu pripovjedismo sne, a on nam kaza šta èiji san znaèi.
There was there a young man a Hebrew, servant to the same captain of the soldiers: to whom we told our dreams,
13 I zbi se kako nam kaza: mene povrati Faraon u službu, a onoga objesi.
And we heard what afterwards the event of the thing proved to be so. For I was restored to my office: and he was hanged upon a gibbet.
14 Tada Faraon posla po Josifa, i brže ga izvedoše iz tamnice, a on se obrija i preobuèe se, te izaðe pred Faraona.
Forthwith at the king’s command, Joseph was brought out of the prison, and they shaved him, and changing his apparel, brought him in to him.
15 A Faraon reèe Josifu: usnih san, pa mi niko ne umije da kaže šta znaèi; a za tebe èujem da umiješ kazivati sne.
And he said to him: I have dreamed dreams, and there is no one that can expound them: Now I have heard that thou art very wise at interpreting them.
16 A Josif odgovori Faraonu i reèe: to nije u mojoj vlasti, Bog æe javiti dobro Faraonu.
Joseph answered: Without me, God shall give Pharao a prosperous answer.
17 I reèe Faraon Josifu: usnih, a ja stojim kraj rijeke na obali.
So Pharao told what he had dreamed: Methought I stood upon the bank of the river,
18 I gle, iz rijeke izaðe sedam krava debelijeh i lijepijeh, te stadoše pasti po obali.
And seven kine came up out of the river exceeding beautiful and full of flesh: and they grazed on green places in a marshy pasture.
19 I gle, iza njih izaðe sedam drugih krava rðavijeh, i vrlo ružnijeh i mršavijeh, kakvijeh nijesam vidio u cijeloj zemlji Misirskoj.
And behold, there followed these, other seven kine, so very ill favoured and lean, that I never saw the like in the land of Egypt:
20 I ove krave mršave i ružne pojedoše onijeh sedam debelijeh,
And they devoured and consumed the former,
21 I kad im biše u trbuhu, ne poznavaše se da su im u trbuhu, nego opet bjehu onako ružne kao prije. U tom se probudih.
And yet gave no mark of their being full: but were as lean and ill favoured as before. I awoke, and then fell asleep again,
22 Pa opet usnih, a to sedam klasova izraste iz jednoga stabla jedrijeh i lijepijeh;
And dreamed a dream: Seven ears of corn grew upon one stalk, full and very fair.
23 A iza njih isklija sedam malijeh, tankijeh i šturijeh.
Other seven also thin and blasted, sprung of the stock:
24 I ovi tanki klasovi proždriješe onijeh sedam lijepijeh. I ovo pripovjedih gatarima, ali mi nijedan ne zna kazati šta znaèi.
And they devoured the beauty of the former: I told this dream to the conjecturers, and there is no man that can expound it.
25 A Josif reèe Faraonu: oba su sna Faraonova jednaka; Bog javlja Faraonu šta je naumio.
Joseph answered: The king’s dream is one: God hath shewn to Pharao what he is about to do.
26 Sedam lijepijeh krava jesu sedam godina, i sedam lijepijeh klasova jesu sedam godina; oba su sna jednaka.
The seven beautiful kine, and the seven full ears, are seven years of plenty: and both contain the same meaning of the dream.
27 A sedam krava mršavijeh i ružnijeh, što izaðoše iza onijeh, jesu sedam godina; i sedam klasova sitnijeh i šturijeh biæe sedam godina gladnijeh.
And the seven lean and thin kine that came up after them, and the seven thin ears that were blasted with the burning wind, are seven years of famine to come:
28 To je što rekoh Faraonu: Bog kaže Faraonu šta je naumio.
Which shall be fulfilled in this order:
29 Evo doæi æe sedam godina vrlo rodnijeh svoj zemlji Misirskoj.
Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenty in the whole land of Egypt:
30 A iza njih nastaæe sedam gladnijeh godina, gdje æe se zaboraviti sve obilje u zemlji Misirskoj, jer æe glad satrti zemlju,
After which shall follow other seven years of so great scarcity, that all the abundance before shall be forgotten: for the famine shall consume all the land,
31 Te se neæe znati to obilje u zemlji od gladi potonje, jer æe biti vrlo velika.
And the greatness of the scarcity shall destroy the greatness of the plenty.
32 A što je dva puta zasopce Faraon snio, to je zato što je zacijelo Bog tako naumio, i naskoro æe to uèiniti Bog.
And for that thou didst see the second time a dream pertaining to the same thing: it is a token of the certainty, and that the word of God cometh to pass, and is fulfilled speedily.
33 Nego sada neka potraži Faraon èovjeka mudra i razumna, pa neka ga postavi nad zemljom Misirskom.
Now therefore let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and make him ruler over the land of Egypt:
34 I neka gleda Faraon da postavi starješine po zemlji, i pokupi petinu po zemlji Misirskoj za sedam rodnijeh godina;
That he may appoint overseers over all the countries: and gather into barns the fifth part of the fruits, during the seven fruitful years,
35 Neka skupljaju od svakoga žita za rodnijeh godina koje idu, i neka snesu pod ruku Faraonovu svakoga žita u sve gradove, i neka èuvaju,
That shall now presently ensue: and let all the corn be laid up under Pharao’s hands and be reserved in the cities.
36 Da se naðe hrane zemlji za sedam godina gladnijeh, kad nastanu, da ne propadne zemlja od gladi.
And let it be in readiness, against the famine of seven years to come, which shall oppress Egypt, and the land shall not be consumed with scarcity.
37 I ovo se uèini dobro Faraonu i svijem slugama njegovijem.
The counsel pleased Pharao and all his servants.
38 I reèe Faraon slugama svojim: možemo li naæi èovjeka kakav je ovaj, u kojem bi bio duh Božji?
And he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full of the spirit of God?
39 Pa reèe Faraon Josifu: kad je tebi javio Bog sve ovo, nema nikoga tako mudra i razumna kao što si ti.
He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee?
40 Ti æeš biti nad domom mojim, i sav æe ti narod moj usta ljubiti; samo æu ovijem prijestolom biti veæi od tebe.
Thou shalt be over my house, and at the commandment of thy mouth all the people shall obey: only in the kingly throne will I be above thee.
41 I još reèe Faraon Josifu: evo, postavljam te nad svom zemljom Misirskom.
And again Pharao said to Joseph: Behold, I have appointed thee over the whole land of Egypt.
42 I skide Faraon prsten s ruke svoje i metnu ga Josifu na ruku, i obuèe ga u haljine od tankoga platna, i objesi mu zlatnu verižicu o vratu,
And he took his ring from his own hand, and gave it into his hand: and he put upon him a robe of silk, and put a chain of gold about his neck.
43 I posadi ga na kola koja bijahu druga za njegovijem, i zapovjedi da pred njim vièu: klanjajte se! i da ga je postavio nad svom zemljom Misirskom.
And he made him go up into his second chariot, the crier proclaiming that all should bow their knee before him, and that they should know he was made governor over the whole land of Egypt.
44 I još reèe Faraon Josifu: ja sam Faraon, ali bez tebe neæe niko maæi ruke svoje ni noge svoje u svoj zemlji Misirskoj.
And the king said to Joseph: I am Pharao; without thy commandment no man shall move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
45 I nadje Faraon Josifu ime Psontomfanih, i oženi ga Asenetom kæerju Potifere sveštenika Onskoga. I poðe Josif po zemlji Misirskoj.
And he turned his name, and called him in the Egyptian tongue, The saviour of the world. And he gave him to wife Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis. Then Joseph went out to the land of Egypt:
46 A bijaše Josifu trideset godina kad izaðe pred Faraona cara Misirskoga. I otišav od Faraona obiðe svu zemlju Misirsku.
(Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao) and he went round all the countries of Egypt.
47 I za sedam rodnijeh godina rodi zemlja svašta izobila.
And the fruitfulness of the seven years came: and the corn being bound up into sheaves was gathered together into the barns of Egypt.
48 I stade Josif kupiti za tijeh sedam godina svakoga žita što bješe po zemlji Misirskoj, i snositi žito u gradove; u svaki grad snošaše žito s njiva koje bjehu oko njega.
And all the abundance of grain was laid up in every city.
49 Tako nakupi Josif žita vrlo mnogo koliko je pijeska morskoga, tako da ga presta mjeriti, jer mu ne bješe broja.
And there was so great abundance of wheat, that it was equal to the sand of the sea, and the plenty exceeded measure.
50 I dokle još ne nasta gladna godina, rodiše se Josifu dva sina, koje mu rodi Aseneta kæi Potifere sveštenika Onskoga.
And before the famine came, Joseph had two sons born: whom Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis bore unto him.
51 I prvencu nadjede Josif ime Manasija, govoreæi: jer mi Bog dade da zaboravim svu muku svoju i sav dom oca svojega.
And he called the name of the firstborn Manasses, saying: God hath made me to forget all my labours, and my father’s house.
52 A drugome nadjede ime Jefrem, govoreæi: jer mi Bog dade da rastem u zemlji nevolje svoje.
And he named the second Ephraim, saying: God hath made me to grow in the land of my poverty.
53 Ali proðe sedam godina rodnijeh u zemlji Misirskoj;
Now when the seven years of the plenty that had been in Egypt were past:
54 I nasta sedam godina gladnijeh, kao što je Josif naprijed kazao. I bješe glad po svijem zemljama, a po svoj zemlji Misirskoj bješe hljeba.
The seven years of scarcity, which Joseph had foretold, began to come: and the famine prevailed in the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt.
55 Ali najposlije nasta glad i po svoj zemlji Misirskoj, i narod povika k Faraonu za hljeb; a Faraon reèe svima Misircima: idite k Josifu, pa što vam on kaže ono èinite.
And when there also they began to be famished, the people cried to Pharao for food. And he said to them: Go to Joseph: and do all that he shall say to you.
56 I kad glad bješe po svoj zemlji, otvori Josif sve žitnice, i prodavaše Misircima. I glad posta vrlo velika u zemlji Misirskoj.
And the famine increased daily in all the land: and Joseph opened all the barns, and sold to the Egyptians: for the famine had oppressed them also.
57 I iz svijeh zemalja dolažahu u Misir k Josifu da kupuju; jer posta velika glad u svakoj zemlji.
And all provinces came into Egypt, to buy food, and to seek some relief of their want.
