1 Мојсијева 37
1 А Јаков живеше у земљи где му је отац био дошљак, у земљи хананској.
Jacob [Supplanter] lived in the land of his father’s travels, in the land of Canaan [Humbled].
2 Ово су догађаји Јаковљеви. Јосиф кад беше момак од седамнаест година, пасаше стоку с браћом својом, коју родише Вала и Зелфа жене оца његовог; и доношаше Јосиф зле гласове о њима оцу свом.
This is the history of the generations of Jacob [Supplanter]. Joseph [May he add], being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah [Bashful] and Zilpah [Frailty], his father’s wives. Joseph [May he add] brought an evil report of them to their father.
3 А Израиљ љубљаше Јосифа највећма измећу свих синова својих, јер му се родио под старост; и начини му шарену хаљину.
Now Israel [God prevails] 'ahav ·affectionately loved· Joseph [May he add] more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a coat of many colors.
4 А браћа видећи где га отац љуби највећма између све браће његове, стадоше мрзети на њ тако да му не могаху лепу реч проговорити.
His brothers saw that their father 'ahav ·affectionately loved· him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.
5 Уз то усни Јосиф сан и приповеди браћи својој, те они још већма омрзну на њ.
Joseph [May he add] dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 Јер им рече: Да чујете сан што сам снио:
He said to them, “Please sh'ma ·hear obey· this dream which I have dreamed:
7 Везасмо снопље у пољу, па мој сноп уста и исправи се, а ваши снопови иђаху унаоколо и клањаху се снопу мом.
for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, and bowed down to my sheaf.”
8 Тада му браћа рекоше: Да нећеш још бити цар над нама и заповедати нам? Стога још већма стадоше мрзети на њ ради снова његових и ради речи његових.
His brothers said to him, “Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed have dominion over us?” They hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words.
9 После опет усни други сан, и приповеди браћи својој говорећи: Усних опет сан, а то се сунце и месец и једанаест звезда клањаху мени.
He dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, “Behold, I have dreamed yet another dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.”
10 А приповеди и оцу свом и браћи својој; али га отац прекори и рече му: Какав је то сан што си снио? Еда ли ћемо доћи ја и мати твоја и браћа твоја да се клањамо теби до земље?
He told it to his father and to his brothers. His father rebuked him, and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to you to the earth?”
11 И завиђаху му браћа; али отац његов чуваше ове речи.
His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.
12 А кад браћа његова отидоше да пасу стоку оца свог код Сихема,
His brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
13 Рече Израиљ Јосифу: Не пасу ли браћа твоја стоку код Сихема? Хајде да те пошаљем к њима. А он рече: Ево ме.
Israel [God prevails] said to Joseph [May he add], “Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” He said to him, “Here I am.”
14 А он му рече: Иди, види како су браћа твоја и како је стока, па дођи да ми јавиш. И оправи га из долине хевронске, и он отиде пут Сихема.
He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 И човек један нађе га а он лута по пољу; те га запита говорећи: Шта тражиш?
A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, “What are you looking for?”
16 А он рече: Тражим браћу своју; кажи ми, молим те, где су са стоком?
He said, “I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock.”
17 А човек рече: Отишли су одавде, јер чух где рекоше: Хајдемо у Дотаим. И отиде Јосиф за браћом својом, и нађе их у Дотаиму.
The man said, “They have left here, for I sh'ma ·heard obeyed· them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” Joseph [May he add] went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 А они га угледаше из далека; и док још не дође близу њих, стадоше се договарати да га убију,
They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
19 И рекоше међу собом: Гле, ево оног што сне сања.
They said to one another, “Behold, this dreamer comes.
20 Хајде сада да га убијемо и да га бацимо у коју од ових јама, па ћемо казати: Љута га је зверка изјела. Онда ћемо видети шта ће бити од његових снова.
Come now therefore, and let’s kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’ We will see what will become of his dreams.”
21 Али Рувим кад чу то, избави га из руку њихових рекавши: Немојте да га убијемо.
Reuben [See, a son!] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, “Let’s not take his life.”
22 И још им рече Рувим: Немојте крв проливати; баците га у ову јаму у пустињи, а не дижите руке на њ. А он га хтеде избавити из руку њихових и одвести к оцу.
Reuben [See, a son!] said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him”— that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.
23 И кад Јосиф дође к браћи својој, свукоше с њега хаљину његову, хаљину шарену, коју имаше на себи.
When Joseph [May he add] came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph [May he add] of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him;
24 И ухвативши га бацише га у јаму; а јама беше празна, не беше воде у њој.
and they took him, and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty. There was no water in it.
25 После седоше да једу. И подигавши очи угледаше, а то гомила Исмаиљаца иђаше од Галада с камилама натовареним мирисавог корења и тамјана и смирне, те ношаху у Мисир.
They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites [Pays attention God] was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt [Abode of slavery].
26 И рече Јуда браћи својој: Каква ће бити корист што ћемо убити брата свог и затајити крв његову?
Judah [Praised] said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
27 Хајде да га продамо овим Исмаиљцима па да не дижемо руке своје на њ, јер нам је брат, наше је тело. И послушаше га браћа његова.
Come, and let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites [Pays attention God], and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers sh'ma ·heard obeyed· him.
28 Па кад трговци мадијански беху поред њих, они извукоше и извадише Јосифа из јаме, и продадоше Јосифа Исмаиљцима за двадесет сребрника; и они одведоше Јосифа у Мисир.
Midianites [Descendants of Strife] who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph [May he add] out of the pit, and sold Joseph [May he add] to the Ishmaelites [Pays attention God] for twenty pieces of silver. They brought Joseph [May he add] into Egypt [Abode of slavery].
29 А кад се Рувим врати к јами, а то нема Јосифа у јами; тада раздре хаљине своје,
Reuben [See, a son!] returned to the pit; and saw that Joseph [May he add] was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes.
30 Па се врати к браћи својој, и рече: Нема детета; а ја куда ћу?
He teshuvah ·completely returned· to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?”
31 Тада узеше хаљину Јосифову, и заклавши јаре замочише хаљину у крв,
They took Joseph [May he add]’s coat, and killed a male goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.
32 Па онда послаше шарену хаљину оцу његовом поручивши: Нађосмо ову хаљину, види је ли хаљина сина твог или није.
They took the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, “We have found this. Examine it, now, whether it is your son’s coat or not.”
33 А он је позна и рече: Сина је мог хаљина; љута га је зверка изјела; Јосиф је доиста раскинут.
He recognized it, and said, “It is my son’s coat. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph [May he add] is without doubt torn in pieces.”
34 И раздре Јаков хаљине своје, и веза кострет око себе, и тужаше за сином својим дуго времена.
Jacob [Supplanter] tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
35 И сви синови његови и све кћери његове устадоше око њега тешећи га, али се он не даде утешити, него говораше: С тугом ћу у гроб лећи за сином својим. Па и његов отац плакаше за њим. (Sheol h7585)
All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol ·Place of the dead· to my son mourning.” His father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 А Мадијани продадоше га у Мисир Петефрију, дворанину Фараоновом, заповеднику стражарском.
The Midianites [Descendants of Strife] sold him into Egypt [Abode of slavery] to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard.
