1 Mojzes 37
1 Jakob je prebival v deželi, v kateri je bil njegov oče tujec, v kánaanski deželi.
And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojourning, in the land of Canaan.
2 To so Jakobovi rodovi. Jožef je bil star sedemnajst let, ko je s svojimi brati pasel trop in deček je bil s sinovi Bilhe in s sinovi Zilpe, ženama svojega očeta. Jožef je svojemu očetu prinesel njihovo zlo poročilo.
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers; and he was as a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought evil reports of them unto his father.
3 Torej Izrael je bolj ljubil Jožefa kakor vse svoje otroke, ker je bil sin njegove visoke starosti. Naredil mu je plašč iz mnogih barv.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a coat of many colors.
4 Ko so njegovi bratje videli, da ga je njihov oče bolj ljubil kakor vse njegove brate, so ga zasovražili in niso mogli miroljubno govoriti z njim.
And when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
5 Jožef je sanjal sanje in te je povedal svojim bratom, oni pa so ga še bolj sovražili.
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers: and they hated him yet the more.
6 Rekel jim je: »Poslušajte, prosim vas, te sanje, ki sem jih sanjal.
And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed.
7 Kajti, glejte, na polju smo vezali snope in glejte, moj snop je vstal in tudi stal pokončno. Glejte, vaši snopi so stali naokoli in se globoko priklanjali mojemu snopu.«
And, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also remained standing upright; and, behold, your sheaves placed themselves round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
8 Njegovi bratje so mu rekli: »Ali boš zares kraljeval nad nami? Ali boš zares imel gospostvo nad nami?« In še bolj so ga zasovražili zaradi njegovih sanj in zaradi njegovih besed.
And his brothers said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
9 Sanjal je še druge sanje in te povedal svojim bratom in rekel: »Glejte, še sem sanjal sanje. Glejte globoko so se mi priklanjali sonce in luna in enajst zvezd.«
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers; and he said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me.
10 Te je povedal svojemu očetu in svojim bratom. Njegov oče pa ga je oštel in mu rekel: »Kaj so te sanje, ki si jih sanjal? Naj zares pridemo jaz, tvoja mati in tvoji bratje, da se ti priklonimo k zemlji?«
And he told it to his father, and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall we indeed come, I and thy mother, and thy brothers, to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth.
11 Njegovi bratje so mu zavidali, toda njegov oče je obeležil besede.
And his brothers envied him; but his father noted the matter [in his mind].
12 Njegovi bratje so odšli, da pasejo trop svojega očeta v Sihemu.
And his brothers went to feed their father's flocks in Shechem.
13 Izrael je rekel Jožefu: »Mar tvoji bratje ne pasejo tropa v Sihemu? Pridi in poslal te bom k njim.« Ta mu je rekel: »Tukaj sem.«
And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brothers feed [the flocks] in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
14 Rekel mu je: »Pojdi, prosim te, poglej če je dobro s tvojimi brati in dobro s tropi in besedo mi ponovno prinesi nazaj.« Tako ga je poslal iz hebrónske doline in je prišel v Sihem.
And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brothers, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 Našel pa ga je nek mož in glej, taval je po polju in človek ga je vprašal, rekoč: »Kaj iščeš?«
And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering astray in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 Rekel je: »Iščem svoje brate. Povej mi, prosim te, kje pasejo svoje trope.«
And he said, I seek my brothers; tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding their flocks?
17 Človek je rekel: »Odpravili so se od tod, kajti slišal sem jih reči: ›Pojdimo v Dotán.‹« Jožef je odšel za svojimi brati in jih našel v Dotánu.
And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 Ko so ga od daleč zagledali, celo preden se jim je približal, so se zoper njega zarotili, da ga ubijejo.
And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
19 Drug drugemu so rekli: »Glejte, ta sanjač prihaja.
And they said one to another, Behold, here comes this man of dreams.
20 Pridimo torej, ubijmo ga in ga vrzimo v neko jamo in bomo rekli: ›Neka zla žival ga je požrla‹ in bomo videli, kaj bo nastalo iz njegovih sanj.«
And now, come and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
21 Ruben pa je to slišal in ga osvobodil iz njihovih rok in rekel: »Naj ga ne ubijemo mi.«
And when Reuben heard it, he delivered him out of their hand; and he said, Let us not put him to death.
22 Ruben jim je rekel: »Ne prelijmo krvi, temveč ga vrzimo v tole jamo, ki je v divjini in ne položimo roke nanj, « da bi ga lahko osvobodil iz njihovih rok, da ga ponovno izroči njegovemu očetu.
And Reuben said unto them, Do not shed blood; but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but do not lay hand upon him; —in order that he might deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back again to his father.
23 Pripetilo pa se je, ko je Jožef prišel k svojim bratom, da so Jožefa slekli iz njegovega plašča, njegovega plašča iz mnogih barv, ki je bil na njem
And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brothers, that they stript Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him;
24 in ga prijeli ter vrgli v jamo. Jama pa je bila prazna, v njej ni bilo vode.
And they took him, and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
25 Usedli so se, da jedo kruh in povzdignili so svoje oči, pogledali in glej, skupina Izmaelcev je prihajala iz Gileáda, s svojimi kamelami, nesoč dišave, balzam in miro, da to odnesejo dol v Egipt.
And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead; and their camels were bearing spicery, and balm, and lotus, going to carry it down to Egypt.
26 Juda je rekel svojim bratom: »Kakšna korist je to, če ubijemo svojega brata in prikrijemo njegovo kri?
And Judah said unto his brothers, What profit will it be if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
27 Pridite in prodajmo ga Izmaelcem in naj naša roka ne bo nad njim, kajti on je naš brat in naše meso.« Njegovi bratje so bili zadovoljni.
Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, but let our hand not be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers hearkened to him.
28 Potem so šli mimo midjánski trgovci in Jožefa so potegnili ter dvignili iz jame in Jožefa prodali Izmaelcem za dvajset koščkov srebra in ti so Jožefa pripeljali v Egipt.
And when the Midianitish men, merchants, passed by, they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 Ruben pa se je vrnil k jami in glej, Jožefa ni bilo v jami. Raztrgal je svoja oblačila
And when Reuben returned unto the pit, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit, he rent his clothes.
30 in se vrnil k svojim bratom ter rekel: »Otroka ni in kam naj grem jaz?«
And he returned unto his brothers, and said, The child is not there; and I, whither shall I go?
31 Vzeli so Jožefov plašč, zaklali kozlička izmed koz in plašč pomočili v kri
And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood;
32 in poslali so plašč iz mnogih barv in ga prinesli k svojemu očetu ter rekli: »To smo našli. Védi torej, ali je to plašč tvojega sina ali ne.«
And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found: acknowledge, we pray thee, whether it be thy son's coat or not.
33 Prepoznal ga je in rekel: » To je plašč mojega sina. Zla žival ga je požrla. Jožef je brez dvoma raztrgan na koščke.«
And he recognized it, and said, it is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is surely torn in pieces.
34 Jakob je raztrgal svoja oblačila in na svoja ledja oblekel vrečevino in mnogo dni žaloval za svojim sinom.
And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
35 Vsi njegovi sinovi in vse njegove hčere so vstali, da ga potolažijo, toda odklonil je, da bi bil potolažen in rekel je: »Kajti žalujoč bom šel v grob k svojemu sinu.« Tako je njegov oče jokal za njim. (Sheol h7585)
And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I must go down unto my son, mourning, into the grave; thus his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Midjánci pa so ga prodali v Egipt k Potifárju, faraonovemu častniku in poveljniku straže.
And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guards.
