1 Mojzes 37
1 Jakob je prebival v deželi, v kateri je bil njegov oče tujec, v kánaanski deželi.
Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, 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, tended the flock with his brothers; he was an assistant to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report about them to their 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 had been born to him in his old age. And he made a long ornamented robe for him.
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.
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak a kind word to him.
5 Jožef je sanjal sanje in te je povedal svojim bratom, oni pa so ga še bolj sovražili.
Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 Rekel jim je: »Poslušajte, prosim vas, te sanje, ki sem jih sanjal.
He said to them, "Please listen to this dream I had:
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 look, we were binding sheaves in the field, and look, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And look, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down 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.
Then his brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed rule over us?" So they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he said.
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 had another dream, and told it to his father and to his brothers, and said, "Look, I had yet another dream, and look, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down 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?«
When he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you had? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come and bow down to the ground in front of you?"
11 Njegovi bratje so mu zavidali, toda njegov oče je obeležil besede.
His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept thinking about the matter.
12 Njegovi bratje so odšli, da pasejo trop svojega očeta v Sihemu.
Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near 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 to Joseph, "Aren't your brothers pasturing the flock near Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I am ready."
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.
So he said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and report back to me." So he sent him from the Valley 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 man found him, and look, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
16 Rekel je: »Iščem svoje brate. Povej mi, prosim te, kje pasejo svoje trope.«
He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock."
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.
The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So 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.
Now they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they plotted against him to kill him.
19 Drug drugemu so rekli: »Glejte, ta sanjač prihaja.
And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming.
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.«
Come now, and let's kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns, and we will say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we will 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.«
But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let's not take his life."
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.
Reuben 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 hands, to restore him 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
It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing.
24 in ga prijeli ter vrgli v jamo. Jama pa je bila prazna, v njej ni bilo vode.
And they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now 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.
Then they sat down to eat a meal. And they looked up, and look, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh on their way to carry them down to Egypt.
26 Juda je rekel svojim bratom: »Kakšna korist je to, če ubijemo svojega brata in prikrijemo njegovo kri?
Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill 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's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay a hand on him, for he is our brother, our flesh." And his brothers agreed.
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.
So the Midianites merchants passed by, and they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the cistern, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt.
29 Ruben pa se je vrnil k jami in glej, Jožefa ni bilo v jami. Raztrgal je svoja oblačila
And Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph wasn't in the cistern; and he tore his clothes.
30 in se vrnil k svojim bratom ter rekel: »Otroka ni in kam naj grem jaz?«
He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone. Now, what am I to do?"
31 Vzeli so Jožefov plašč, zaklali kozlička izmed koz in plašč pomočili v kri
They took Joseph's robe and killed a male goat and dipped the robe 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 long ornamented robe and they brought it to their father, and said, "We found this. Please examine it to see whether it is your son's robe 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 robe. A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."
34 Jakob je raztrgal svoja oblačila in na svoja ledja oblekel vrečevino in mnogo dni žaloval za svojim sinom.
Then Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth around his waist, 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)
All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Indeed, I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning." And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Midjánci pa so ga prodali v Egipt k Potifárju, faraonovemu častniku in poveljniku straže.
Now the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
