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.

So then Joseph went in, and told Pharaoh, and said—My father and my brethren, and their flocks and their herds and all that they have, are come in from the land of Canaan, —and, here they are, in the land of Goshen.

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

Moreover out of the whole number of his brethren, he took with him five men, —and set them before 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 unto the brethren of Joseph—What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh—Feeders of flocks, are thy servants, both we and our fathers.

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 unto Pharaoh—To sojourn in the land, are we come in, for there is no pasture for the flocks which pertain to thy servants, for, severe, is the famine in the land of Canaan. Now, therefore, let thy servants dwell we pray thee in the land of Goshen.

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

Then spake Pharaoh unto Joseph saying, —Thy father and thy brethren, are come in unto thee.

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.

The land of Egypt, is, before thee, in the best of the land, cause thou thy father and thy brethren to dwell, —let them dwell in the land of Goshen, And if thou knowest that there are among them men of ability, then shalt thou set them as chieftains of cattle over mine.

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

So Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and caused him to stand before Pharaoh, —and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

8 A Faraon reèe Jakovu: koliko ti ima godina?

And Pharaoh said unto Jacob: About how many, have been the days of the years of thy life?

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 unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my sojournings, have been a hundred and thirty years, —Few and evil, have been the days of the years of my life, neither have they attained unto the days of the years of the lives of my fathers, in the days of their sojournings.

10 I blagosloviv Jakov Faraona otide od Faraona.

And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, —and came forth from the presence of Pharaoh.

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.

So then Joseph fixed the dwelling of his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt in the best of the land. in the land of Rameses, —as Pharaoh had commanded.

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

And Joseph nourished his father and his brethren, and all his father’s house, —with bread, according to the need of their little ones.

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

But, bread, was there none in all the land, —for the famine was, very severe, —so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine,

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.

So Joseph gathered up all the silver that was found in the land of Egypt. and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which, they, were buying, —and Joseph brought the silver into the house of Pharaoh.

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 the silver was spent out of the land of Egypt and out of the land of Canaan, so all the Egyptians came in unto Joseph, saying—Do give us bread, for why should we die before thee, although, silver, hath failed?

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

Then said Joseph: Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, —if silver hath failed.

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 brought in their cattle unto Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses and for the cattle of the flock and for the cattle of the herd, and for the asses, —and he provided them with bread for all their cattle, throughout that year.

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.

When that year was ended, then came they unto him in the second year and said to him—We will not hide from my lord, how that the silver and the herds of beasts for my lord are come to an end, —there is nothing left before my lord, save only our bodies and our ground:

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.

Wherefore should we die before thine eyes both we, and our ground? Buy thou us and our ground, for bread, —and we and our ground will become servants to Pharaoh, and give seed, that we may live, and not die, and the ground, not lie 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 bought all the ground of the Egyptians for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine had laid fast hold upon them, —so the land became Pharaoh’s.

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

And as for the people, he brought them into bondage as servants, —from one end of the boundary of Egypt unto the other end thereof.

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, the ground of the priests, bought he not, —for the priests had a statutory-portion, from Pharaoh and they had been eating their statutory-portion, which Pharaoh had given them, for which cause, they had not sold their ground.

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

And Joseph said unto the people, Lo! I have bought you this day, and your ground for Pharaoh, —see, here is seed for you, so shall ye sow the ground;

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 it shall come to pass that, of the yield, ye shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, —but the four parts, shall be your own—for seed for the field, and for your food and for them who are in your households and for food for 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—Thou hast saved our lives! let us find favour in the eyes of my lord, so will we become 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.

And Joseph appointed it for a statute—until this day, regarding the ground of Egypt, that Pharaoh, should take a fifth, —only, the ground of the priests, was, theirs alone, it had not become Pharaoh’s.

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

Thus Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt in the land of Goshen, —and gained possessions therein, and became fruitful and multiplied exceedingly.

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

And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, —so it came to pass that the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred and forty-seven years.

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 days of Israel drew near that he must die, so he called for his son for Joseph and said to him—If, I pray thee I have found favour in thine eyes, place, I pray thee thy hand under my thigh, —so shalt thou deal with me in lovingkindness and faithfulness—Do not I pray thee, bury me 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.

When I shall lie down with my fathers, then shalt thou carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said: I, will do according to thy word.

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

Then he said: Come, swear to me! And he sware to him. Then did Israel bow himself down on the head of the couch.
