Postanak 47

1 I otišav Josif javi Faraonu i reèe: otac moj i braæa moja s ovcama svojim i s govedima svojim i sa svijem što imaju doðoše iz zemlje Hananske, i evo ih u zemlji Gesemskoj.

Then Joseph went to Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers with their flocks and their herds and all they have, are come from Canaan, and are now in the land of Goshen.

2 I uzev nekolicinu braæe svoje, pet ljudi, izvede ih pred Faraona.

And he took five of his brothers to Pharaoh.

3 A Faraon reèe braæi njegovoj: kakvu radnju radite? A oni rekoše Faraonu: pastiri su sluge tvoje, i mi i naši stari.

And Pharaoh said to them, What is your business? And they said, Your servants are keepers of sheep, as our fathers were before us.

4 Još rekoše Faraonu: doðosmo da živimo kao došljaci u ovoj zemlji, jer nema paše za stoku tvojih sluga, jer je velika glad u zemlji Hananskoj; a sada dopusti da žive u zemlji Gesemskoj sluge tvoje.

And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to make a living in this land, because we have no grass for our flocks in the land of Canaan; so now let your servants make a place for themselves in the land of Goshen.

5 A Faraon reèe Josifu: otac tvoj i braæa tvoja doðoše k tebi;

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Let them have the land of Goshen; and if there are any able men among them, put them over my cattle.

6 U tvojoj je vlasti zemlja Misirska; na najboljem mjestu u ovoj zemlji naseli oca svojega i braæu svoju, neka žive u zemlji Gesemskoj; i ako koje znaš izmeðu njih da su vrijedni ljudi, postavi ih nad mojom stokom.

And Jacob and his sons came to Joseph in Egypt, and when word of it came to the ears of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, he said to Joseph, Your father and brothers have come to you; all the land of Egypt is before you; let your father and your brothers have the best of the land for their resting-place.

7 Poslije dovede Josif i Jakova oca svojega i izvede ga pred Faraona, i blagoslovi Jakov Faraona.

Then Joseph made his father Jacob come before Pharaoh, and Jacob gave him his blessing.

8 A Faraon reèe Jakovu: koliko ti ima godina?

And Pharaoh said to him, How old are you?

9 Odgovori Jakov Faraonu: meni ima sto i trideset godina, kako sam došljak. Malo je dana života mojega i zli su bili, niti stižu vijeka otaca mojih, koliko su oni živjeli.

And Jacob said, The years of my wanderings have been a hundred and thirty; small in number and full of sorrow have been the years of my life, and less than the years of the wanderings of my fathers.

10 I blagosloviv Jakov Faraona otide od Faraona.

And Jacob gave Pharaoh his blessing, and went out from before him.

11 A Josif naseli oca svojega i braæu svoju, i dade im dobro u zemlji Misirskoj na najboljem mjestu te zemlje, u zemlji Rameskoj, kao što zapovjedi Faraon.

And Joseph made a place for his father and his brothers, and gave them a heritage in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had given orders.

12 I hranjaše Josif hljebom oca svojega i braæu svoju i sav dom oca svojega do najmanjega.

And Joseph took care of his father and his brothers and all his father's people, giving them food for the needs of their families.

13 Ali nesta hljeba u svoj zemlji, jer glad bijaše vrlo velika, i uzmuèi se zemlja Misirska i zemlja Hananska od gladi.

Now there was no food to be had in all the land, so that all Egypt and Canaan were wasted from need of food.

14 I pokupi Josif sve novce što se nalažahu po zemlji Misirskoj i po zemlji Hananskoj za žito koje kupovahu, i slagaše novce u kuæu Faraonovu.

And all the money in Egypt and in the land of Canaan which had been given for grain, came into the hands of Joseph: and he put it in Pharaoh's house.

15 A kad nesta novaca u zemlji Misirskoj i u zemlji Hananskoj, stadoše svi Misirci dolaziti k Josifu govoreæi: daj nam hljeba; zašto da mremo kod tebe, što novaca nema?

And when all the money in Egypt and Canaan was gone, the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread; would you have us come to destruction before your eyes? for we have no more money.

16 A Josif im govoraše: dajte stoku svoju, pa æu vam dati hljeba za stoku, kad je nestalo novaca.

And Joseph said, Give me your cattle; I will give you grain in exchange for your cattle if your money is all gone.

17 I dovoðahu stoku svoju k Josifu, i Josif im davaše hljeba za konje i za ovce i za goveda i za magarce. Tako ih prehrani onu godinu hljebom za svu stoku njihovu.

So they took their cattle to Joseph and he gave them bread in exchange for their horses and flocks and herds and asses, so all that year he gave them food in exchange for their cattle.

18 A kad proðe ona godina, stadoše opet dolaziti k njemu druge godine govoreæi: ne možemo tajiti od gospodara svojega, ali je novaca nestalo, i stoka koju imasmo u našega je gospodara; i nije ostalo ništa da donesemo gospodaru svojemu osim tjelesa naših i njiva naših.

And when that year was ended, they came to him in the second year, and said, We may not keep it from our lord's knowledge that all our money is gone, and all the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing more to give my lord but our bodies and our land;

19 Zašto da mremo na tvoje oèi? evo i nas i naših njiva; kupi nas i njive naše za hljeb, da s njivama svojim budemo robovi Faraonu, i daj žita da ostanemo živi i ne pomremo i da zemlja ne opusti.

Are we to come to destruction before your eyes, we and our land? take us and our land and give us bread; and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh; and give us seed so that we may have life and the land may not become waste.

20 Tako pokupova Josif Faraonu sve njive u Misiru, jer Misirci prodavahu svaki svoju njivu, kad glad uze jako mah meðu njima. I zemlja posta Faraonova.

So Joseph got all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh; for every Egyptian gave up his land in exchange for food, because of their great need; so all the land became Pharaoh's.

21 A narod preseli u gradove od jednoga kraja Misira do drugoga.

And as for the people, he made servants of them, town by town, from one end of Egypt to the other.

22 Samo ne kupi sveštenièkih njiva; jer Faraon odredi dio sveštenicima, i hranjahu se od svojega dijela, koji im dade Faraon, te ne prodaše svojih njiva.

Only he did not take the land of the priests, for the priests had their food given them by Pharaoh, and having what Pharaoh gave them, they had no need to give up their land.

23 A Josif reèe narodu: evo kupih danas vas i njive vaše Faraonu; evo vam sjemena, pa zasijte njive.

Then Joseph said to the people, I have made you and your land this day the property of Pharaoh; here is seed for you to put in your fields.

24 A što bude roda, daæete peto Faraonu, a èetiri dijela neka budu vama za sjeme po njivama i za hranu vama i onijema koji su po kuæama vašim i za hranu djeci vašoj.

And when the grain is cut, you are to give a fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts will be yours for seed and food, and for your families and your little ones.

25 A oni rekoše: ti si nam život saèuvao; neka naðemo milost pred gospodarem svojim da budemo robovi Faraonu.

And they said to him, Truly you have kept us from death; may we have grace in your eyes, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.

26 I postavi Josif zakon do današnjega dana za njive Misirske da se daje peto Faraonu; samo njive sveštenièke ne postaše Faraonove.

Then Joseph made a law which is in force to this day, that Pharaoh was to have the fifth part; only the land of the priests did not become his.

27 A djeca Izrailjeva življahu u zemlji Misirskoj u kraju Gesemskom, i držahu ga, i narodiše se i namnožiše se veoma.

And so Israel was living among the Egyptians in the land of Goshen; and they got property there, and became very great in numbers and in wealth.

28 I Jakov poživje u zemlji Misirskoj sedamnaest godina; a svega bi Jakovu sto i èetrdeset i sedam godina.

And Jacob was living in the land of Goshen for seventeen years; so the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.

29 A kad se približi vrijeme Izrailju da umre, dozva sina svojega Josifa, i reèe mu: ako sam našao milost pred tobom, metni ruku svoju pod stegno moje, i uèini mi milost i vjeru, nemoj me pogrepsti u Misiru;

And the time of his death came near, and he sent for his son Joseph and said to him, If now I am dear to you, put your hand under my leg and take an oath that you will not put me to rest in Egypt;

30 Nego neka ležim kod otaca svojih; i ti me odnesi iz Misira i pogrebi me u grobu njihovu. A on reèe: uèiniæu kako si kazao.

But when I go to my fathers, you are to take me out of Egypt and put me to rest in their last resting-place. And he said, I will do so.

31 I reèe mu Jakov: zakuni mi se. I on mu se zakle. I pokloni se Izrailj preko uzglavlja od odra svojega.

And he said, Take an oath to me; and he took an oath to him: and Israel gave worship on the bed's head.
