< Postanak 41 >

1 A poslije dvije godine dana usni Faraon, a on stoji na jednoj rijeci.
It came about at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream. Behold, he stood by the Nile.
2 I gle, iz rijeke izaðe sedam krava lijepijeh i debelijeh, i stadoše pasti po obali.
Behold, seven cows came up out of the Nile, desirable and fat, and they grazed in the reeds.
3 I gle, iza njih izaðe iz rijeke sedam drugih krava, ružnijeh i mršavijeh, i stadoše pored onijeh krava na obali.
Behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the Nile, undesirable and thin. They stood by the other cows on the bank of the river.
4 I ove krave ružne i mršave pojedoše onijeh sedam krava lijepijeh i debelijeh. U tom se probudi Faraon.
Then the undesirable and thin cows ate the seven desirable and fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5 Pa opet zaspav usni drugom, a to sedam klasova izraste iz jednoga stabla jedrijeh i lijepijeh;
Then he slept and dreamed a second time. Behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, wholesome and good.
6 A iza njih isklija sedam klasova malijeh i šturijeh;
Behold, seven heads, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
7 Pa ovi klasovi mali pojedoše onijeh sedam velikijeh i jedrijeh. U tom se probudi Faraon i vidje da je san.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven wholesome and full heads. Pharaoh woke up, and, behold, it was a dream.
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.
It came about in the morning that his spirit was troubled. He sent and called for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
9 Tada progovori starješina nad peharnicima Faraonu i reèe: danas se opomenuh grijeha svojega.
Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am thinking about my offenses.
10 Kad se Faraon rasrdi na sluge svoje i baci u tamnicu u kuæi zapovjednika stražarskoga mene i starješinu nad hljebarima,
Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, the chief baker and me.
11 Usnismo u jednu noæ ja i on, svaki za sebe po znaèenju sna svojega usnismo.
We dreamed a dream the same night, he and I. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
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 with us there a young Hebrew man, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him and he interpreted for us our dreams. He interpreted for each of us according to his dream.
13 I zbi se kako nam kaza: mene povrati Faraon u službu, a onoga objesi.
It came about as he interpreted for us, so it happened. Pharaoh restored me to my post, but the other one he hanged.”
14 Tada Faraon posla po Josifa, i brže ga izvedoše iz tamnice, a on se obrija i preobuèe se, te izaðe pred Faraona.
Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph. They quickly took him out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.
15 A Faraon reèe Josifu: usnih san, pa mi niko ne umije da kaže šta znaèi; a za tebe èujem da umiješ kazivati sne.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, but there is no interpreter for it. But I have heard about you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
16 A Josif odgovori Faraonu i reèe: to nije u mojoj vlasti, Bog æe javiti dobro Faraonu.
Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me. God will answer Pharaoh with favor.”
17 I reèe Faraon Josifu: usnih, a ja stojim kraj rijeke na obali.
Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the Nile.
18 I gle, iz rijeke izaðe sedam krava debelijeh i lijepijeh, te stadoše pasti po obali.
Behold, seven cows came up out of the Nile, fat and desirable, and they grazed among the reeds.
19 I gle, iza njih izaðe sedam drugih krava rðavijeh, i vrlo ružnijeh i mršavijeh, kakvijeh nijesam vidio u cijeloj zemlji Misirskoj.
Behold, seven other cows came up after them, weak, very undesirable, and thin. I never saw in all the land of Egypt such undesirableness like them.
20 I ove krave mršave i ružne pojedoše onijeh sedam debelijeh,
The thin and undesirable cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
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.
When they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them, for they were still as undesirable as before. Then I awoke.
22 Pa opet usnih, a to sedam klasova izraste iz jednoga stabla jedrijeh i lijepijeh;
I looked in my dream, and, behold, seven heads came up upon one stalk, full and good.
23 A iza njih isklija sedam malijeh, tankijeh i šturijeh.
Behold, seven more heads—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind—sprang up after them.
24 I ovi tanki klasovi proždriješe onijeh sedam lijepijeh. I ovo pripovjedih gatarima, ali mi nijedan ne zna kazati šta znaèi.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven good heads. I told these dreams to the magicians, but there was none that could explain it to me.”
25 A Josif reèe Faraonu: oba su sna Faraonova jednaka; Bog javlja Faraonu šta je naumio.
Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are the same. What God is about to do, he has declared to Pharaoh.
26 Sedam lijepijeh krava jesu sedam godina, i sedam lijepijeh klasova jesu sedam godina; oba su sna jednaka.
The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years. The dreams are the same.
27 A sedam krava mršavijeh i ružnijeh, što izaðoše iza onijeh, jesu sedam godina; i sedam klasova sitnijeh i šturijeh biæe sedam godina gladnijeh.
The seven thin and undesirable cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven thin heads scorched by the east wind will be seven years of famine.
28 To je što rekoh Faraonu: Bog kaže Faraonu šta je naumio.
That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has revealed to Pharaoh.
29 Evo doæi æe sedam godina vrlo rodnijeh svoj zemlji Misirskoj.
Look, seven years of great abundance will come throughout all the 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,
Seven years of famine will come after them, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will devastate the land.
31 Te se neæe znati to obilje u zemlji od gladi potonje, jer æe biti vrlo velika.
The abundance will not be remembered in the land because of the famine that will follow, for it will be very severe.
32 A što je dva puta zasopce Faraon snio, to je zato što je zacijelo Bog tako naumio, i naskoro æe to uèiniti Bog.
That the dream was repeated to Pharaoh is because the matter has been established by God, and God will soon do it.
33 Nego sada neka potraži Faraon èovjeka mudra i razumna, pa neka ga postavi nad zemljom Misirskom.
Now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and put him 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;
Let Pharaoh appoint officials over the land, and let them take a fifth of the crops of Egypt in the seven abundant 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,
Let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh, for food to be used in the cities. They should preserve it.
36 Da se naðe hrane zemlji za sedam godina gladnijeh, kad nastanu, da ne propadne zemlja od gladi.
The food will be a supply for the land for the seven years of famine which will be in the land of Egypt. In this way the land will not be devastated by the famine.”
37 I ovo se uèini dobro Faraonu i svijem slugama njegovijem.
This advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 I reèe Faraon slugama svojim: možemo li naæi èovjeka kakav je ovaj, u kojem bi bio duh Božji?
Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a man as this, in whom is 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.
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you.
40 Ti æeš biti nad domom mojim, i sav æe ti narod moj usta ljubiti; samo æu ovijem prijestolom biti veæi od tebe.
You will be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne will I be greater than you.”
41 I još reèe Faraon Josifu: evo, postavljam te nad svom zemljom Misirskom.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have put you over all the 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,
Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it upon Joseph's hand. He clothed him with clothes of fine linen, and put a gold chain on 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.
He had him ride in the second chariot which he possessed. Men shouted before him, “Bend the knee.” Pharaoh put him over all the 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.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and apart from you, no man will lift his hand or his 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.
Pharaoh called Joseph's name “Zaphenath-Paneah.” He gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
46 A bijaše Josifu trideset godina kad izaðe pred Faraona cara Misirskoga. I otišav od Faraona obiðe svu zemlju Misirsku.
Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 I za sedam rodnijeh godina rodi zemlja svašta izobila.
In the seven bountiful years the land produced abundantly.
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.
He gathered up all the food of the seven years that was in the land of Egypt and put the food in the cities. He put into each city the food from the fields that surrounded it.
49 Tako nakupi Josif žita vrlo mnogo koliko je pijeska morskoga, tako da ga presta mjeriti, jer mu ne bješe broja.
Joseph stored up grain like the sand of the sea, so much that he stopped counting, because it was beyond counting.
50 I dokle još ne nasta gladna godina, rodiše se Josifu dva sina, koje mu rodi Aseneta kæi Potifere sveštenika Onskoga.
Joseph had two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
51 I prvencu nadjede Josif ime Manasija, govoreæi: jer mi Bog dade da zaboravim svu muku svoju i sav dom oca svojega.
Joseph called the name of his firstborn Manasseh, for he said, “God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household.”
52 A drugome nadjede ime Jefrem, govoreæi: jer mi Bog dade da rastem u zemlji nevolje svoje.
He called the name of the second son Ephraim, for he said, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 Ali proðe sedam godina rodnijeh u zemlji Misirskoj;
The seven years of abundance that was in the land of Egypt came to an end.
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 famine began, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was food.
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.
When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people loudly called on Pharaoh for food. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he says.”
56 I kad glad bješe po svoj zemlji, otvori Josif sve žitnice, i prodavaše Misircima. I glad posta vrlo velika u zemlji Misirskoj.
The famine was over all the face of the whole land. Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57 I iz svijeh zemalja dolažahu u Misir k Josifu da kupuju; jer posta velika glad u svakoj zemlji.
All the earth was coming to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
