< 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.
And Joseph could not refrain himself when all were standing by him, but said, Dismiss all from me; and no one stood near Joseph, when he made himself known to his brethren.
2 Pa briznu plakati tako da èuše Misirci, èu i dom Faraonov.
And he uttered his voice with weeping; and all the Egyptians heard, and it was reported to the house of Pharao.
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 to his brethren, I am Joseph; does my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him, for they were troubled.
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 to his brethren, Draw near to me; and they drew near; and he said, I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.
5 A sada nemojte žaliti niti se kajati što me prodadoste ovamo, jer Bog mene posla pred vama radi života vašega.
Now then be not grieved, and let it not seem hard to you that you sold me hither, for God sent me before you for life.
6 Jer je veæ dvije godine dana glad u zemlji, a biæe još pet godina, gdje neæe biti ni oranja ni žetve.
For this second year there is famine on the earth, and there are yet five years remaining, in which there is to be neither ploughing, nor mowing.
7 A Bog me posla pred vama, da vas saèuva na zemlji i da vam izbavi život izbavljanjem prevelikim.
For God sent me before you, that there might be left to you a remnant upon the earth, even to nourish a great remnant of you.
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.
Now then you did not send me hither, but God; and he has made me as a father of Pharao, and lord of all his house, and ruler of 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.
Hasten, therefore, and go up to my father, and say to him, These things says your son Joseph; God has made me lord of all the land of Egypt; come down therefore to me, and wait 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 you shall dwell in the land of Gesem of Arabia; and you shall be near me, you and your sons, and your sons' sons, your sheep and your oxen, and whatever things are your.
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 I will nourish you there: for the famine is yet for five years; lest you be consumed, and your sons, and all your possessions.
12 A eto vidite oèima svojima, i brat moj Venijamin svojima oèima, da vam ja iz usta govorim.
Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
13 Kažite ocu mojemu svu slavu moju u Misiru i što ste god vidjeli; pohitajte i dovedite ovamo oca mojega.
Report, therefore, to my father all my glory in Egypt, and all things that you have seen, and make 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 on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept on him; and Benjamin wept on 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 on them; and after these things his brethren spoke to him.
16 I èu se glas u kuæi Faraonovoj, i rekoše: doðoše braæa Josifu. I milo bi Faraonu i slugama njegovijem;
And the report was carried into the house of Pharao, saying, Joseph's brethren are come; and Pharao was glad, and his household.
17 I reèe Faraon Josifu: kaži braæi svojoj: ovako uèinite: natovarite magarce svoje, pa idite i vratite se u zemlju Hanansku,
And Pharao said to Joseph, Say to your brethren, Do this; fill your waggons, and depart into the land of Chanaan.
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 up your father, and your possessions, and come to me; and I will give you of all the goods of Egypt, and you shall eat the marrow 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;
And do you charge them thus; that they should take for them waggons out of the land of Egypt, for your little ones, and for your wives; and take up your father, and come.
20 A na pokuæstvo svoje ne gledajte, jer što ima najbolje u svoj zemlji Misirskoj vaše je.
And be not sparing in regard to your property, for all the good of Egypt shall be yours.
21 I sinovi Izrailjevi uèiniše tako; i Josif im dade kola po zapovijesti Faraonovoj; dade im i brašnjenice na put.
And the children of Israel did so; and Joseph gave to them waggons, according to the words spoken by king Pharao; and he gave them provision for the journey.
22 I svakome dade po dvoje haljine, a Venijaminu dade trista srebrnika i petore haljine.
And he gave to them all two sets of raiment apiece; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of gold, 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 [presents] at the same rate, and ten asses, bearing some of all the good things of Egypt, and ten mules, bearing bread for his father for your journey.
24 Tako opravi braæu svoju, i poðoše; i reèe im: nemojte se koriti putem.
And he sent away his brethren, and they went; and he said to them, Be not angry 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 Chanaan, to 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 reported to him, saying, Your son Joseph is living, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt; and Jacob was amazed, for he did not believe them.
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;
But they spoke to him all the words uttered by Joseph, whatever he said to them; and having seen the chariots which Joseph sent to take him up, 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 a great thing for me if Joseph my son is yet alive. I will go and see him before I die.
