< Postanak 45 >
1 Tada Josif ne moguæi se uzdržati pred ostalima koji stajahu oko njega, povika: izaðite svi napolje. Tako ne osta niko kod njega kad se Josif pokaza braæi svojoj.
Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
2 Pa briznu plakati tako da èuše Misirci, èu i dom Faraonov.
And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3 I reèe Josif braæi svojoj: ja sam Josif; je li mi otac još u životu? Ali mu braæa ne mogahu odgovoriti, jer se prepadoše od njega.
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
4 A Josif reèe braæi svojoj: pristupite bliže k meni. I pristupiše; a on reèe: ja sam Josif brat vaš, kojega prodadoste u Misir.
And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
5 A sada nemojte žaliti niti se kajati što me prodadoste ovamo, jer Bog mene posla pred vama radi života vašega.
And now be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
6 Jer je veæ dvije godine dana glad u zemlji, a biæe još pet godina, gdje neæe biti ni oranja ni žetve.
For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and there are yet five years, in which there shall be neither plowing nor harvest.
7 A Bog me posla pred vama, da vas saèuva na zemlji i da vam izbavi život izbavljanjem prevelikim.
And God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
8 I tako nijeste me vi opravili ovamo nego sam Bog, koji me postavi ocem Faraonu i gospodarem od svega doma njegova i starješinom nad svom zemljom Misirskom.
So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
9 Vratite se brže k ocu mojemu i kažite mu: ovako veli sin tvoj Josif: Bog me je postavio gospodarem svemu Misiru, hodi k meni, nemoj oklijevati.
Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not;
10 Sjedjeæeš u zemlji Gesemskoj i biæeš blizu mene, ti i sinovi tvoji i sinovi sinova tvojih, i ovce tvoje i goveda tvoja i što je god tvoje.
and thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
11 I ja æu te hraniti ondje, jer æe još pet godina biti glad, da ne pogineš od gladi ti i dom tvoj i što je god tvoje.
and there will I nourish thee; for there are yet five years of famine; lest thou come to poverty, thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast.
12 A eto vidite oèima svojima, i brat moj Venijamin svojima oèima, da vam ja iz usta govorim.
And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
13 Kažite ocu mojemu svu slavu moju u Misiru i što ste god vidjeli; pohitajte i dovedite ovamo oca mojega.
And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen: and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
14 Tada pade oko vrata Venijaminu bratu svojemu i plaka. I Venijamin plaka o vratu njegovu.
And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
15 I izljubi svu braæu svoju i isplaka se nad njima. Potom se braæa njegova razgovarahu s njim.
And he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
16 I èu se glas u kuæi Faraonovoj, i rekoše: doðoše braæa Josifu. I milo bi Faraonu i slugama njegovijem;
And the report thereof was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
17 I reèe Faraon Josifu: kaži braæi svojoj: ovako uèinite: natovarite magarce svoje, pa idite i vratite se u zemlju Hanansku,
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye: lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
18 Pa uzmite oca svojega i èeljad svoju, i doðite k meni, i daæu vam najbolje što ima u zemlji Misirskoj, i ješæete najbolje obilje ove zemlje.
and take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
19 A ti im zapovjedi: ovako uèinite: uzmite sa sobom iz zemlje Misirske kola za djecu svoju i za žene svoje, i povezite oca svojega i doðite ovamo;
Now thou art commanded, this do ye: take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
20 A na pokuæstvo svoje ne gledajte, jer što ima najbolje u svoj zemlji Misirskoj vaše je.
Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
21 I sinovi Izrailjevi uèiniše tako; i Josif im dade kola po zapovijesti Faraonovoj; dade im i brašnjenice na put.
And the sons of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
22 I svakome dade po dvoje haljine, a Venijaminu dade trista srebrnika i petore haljine.
To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
23 A ocu svojemu posla još deset magaraca natovarenijeh najljepšijeh stvari što ima u Misiru, i deset magarica natovarenijeh žita i hljeba i jestiva ocu na put.
And to his father he sent after this manner: ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.
24 Tako opravi braæu svoju, i poðoše; i reèe im: nemojte se koriti putem.
So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
25 Tako se vratiše iz Misira, i doðoše u zemlju Hanansku k Jakovu ocu svojemu.
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father.
26 I javiše mu i rekoše: još je živ Josif, i zapovjeda nad svom zemljom Misirskom. A u njemu srce prenemože, jer im ne vjerovaše.
And they told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he believed them not.
27 Ali kad mu kazaše sve rijeèi Josifove, koje im je Josif rekao, i vidje kola, koja posla Josif po oca, tada oživje duh Jakova oca njihova;
And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
28 I reèe Izrailj: dosta mi je kad je još živ sin moj Josif; idem da ga vidim dokle nijesam umro.
and Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
