Genesis, 37

1. Now Jacob lived in the land of Canaan, where his father sojourned.

1. A Jakov se bijaše nastanio u zemlji gdje je njegov otac boravio kao pridošlica - u zemlji kanaanskoj.

2. And these are his generations. Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers, when he was still a boy. And he was with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, the wives of his father. And he accused his brothers to their father of a most sinful crime.

2. Evo nasljedstva Jakovljeva. Kao mladiæ, u dobi od sedamnaest godina, Josip je èuvao stada sa svojom braæom, sinovima Bilhe i Zilpe, koje bijahu žene njegova oca. Josip je ocu svome donosio zle glasove o njima.

3. Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had conceived him in his old age. And he made him a tunic, woven of many colors.

3. Izrael je volio Josipa više nego ijednog svoga sina jer je bio dijete njegove staraèke dobi; i on mu napravi kiæenu haljinu.

4. Then his brothers, seeing that he was loved by his father more than all his other sons, hated him, and they were not able to say anything peacefully to him.

4. Kako njegova braæa opaze da ga njihov otac voli više od svih drugih svojih sinova, zamrze ga toliko da mu nisu mogli ni prijaznu rijeè progovoriti.

5. Then it also happened that he recounted the vision of a dream to his brothers, for which reason a greater hatred began to be nurtured.

5. Jednom Josip usni san i kaza ga svojoj braæi, a oni ga zbog toga još više zamrze.

6. And he said to them, “Listen to my dream that I saw.

6. "Poslušajte", reèe im, "san što sam ga usnio!

7. I thought we were binding sheaves in the field. And my sheaf seemed to rise up and stand, and your sheaves, standing in a circle, reverenced my sheaf.”

7. Pomislite! Vezali smo nasred polja snopove, kadli se najednom moj snop uspravi i stade uzgor. Uto se vaši snopovi okupe okolo i duboko se poklone mom snopu."

8. His brothers responded: “Would you be our king? Or will we be subject to your dominion?” Therefore, this matter of his dreams and words provided kindling to their envy and hatred.

8. Njegova ga braæa upitaše: "Kaniš li nad nama zakraljevati? Hoæeš li nam biti gospodar?" I još ga više zamrze zbog njegova prièanja o snovima.

9. Likewise, he saw another dream, which he explained to his brothers, saying, “I saw by a dream, as if the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars were reverencing me.”

9. Usni on još jedan san te ga isprièa svojoj braæi: "Još sam jedan san usnuo. Pazite! Sunce, mjesec i jedanaest zvijezda duboko mi se klanjahu!"

10. And when he had related this to his father and brothers, his father rebuked him, and he said: “What does it mean to you, this dream that you have seen? Should I, and your mother, and your brothers reverence you upon the earth?”

10. Kad je to isprièao svome ocu, ukori ga otac i reèe mu: "Što znaèi taj san što si ga usnuo? Zar æemo doæi ja, tvoja majka i tvoja braæa pa ti se do zemlje klanjati?"

11. Therefore, his brothers were envious of him. Yet truly, his father considered the matter silently.

11. I dok su braæa od zavisti bila ljuta na nj, njegov je otac razmišljao o svemu.

12. And while his brothers were lodging at Shechem, pasturing their father’s flocks,

12. Jednom njegova braæa odu èuvati oèeva stada blizu Šekema.

13. Israel said to him: “Your brothers are pasturing the sheep at Shechem. Come, I will send you to them.” And when he answered,

13. Izrael reèe Josipu: "Tvoja braæa èuvaju stada kod Šekema, pa hajde da te pošaljem k njima." On mu odgovori: "Dobro, idem."

14. “I am ready,” he said to him, “Go, and see if everything is prospering with your brothers and the cattle, and report to me what is happening.” So, having been sent from the valley of Hebron, he arrived at Shechem.

14. Potom æe mu otac: "Hajde i vidi kako su ti braæa i stoka pa mi javi." Tako ga otpremi iz doline Hebrona, i on stigne u Šekem.

15. And a man found him wandering in a field, and he asked him what he was seeking.

15. Neki èovjek naðe ga gdje luta poljem pa ga upita: "Što tražiš?"

16. So he responded: “I seek my brothers. Tell me where they pasture the flocks.”

16. "Tražim braæu", odgovori. "Možeš li mi kazati gdje èuvaju stada?"

17. And the man said to him: “They have withdrawn from this place. But I heard them saying, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’ ” Therefore, Joseph continued on after his brothers, and he found them at Dothan.

17. A èovjek reèe: "Odavde su otišli. Èuo sam ih gdje govore: 'Hajdemo u Dotan.'" Tako Josip ode za svojom braæom i naðe ih u Dotanu.

18. And, when they had seen him from afar, before he approached them, they decided to kill him.

18. Oni ga opaze izdaleka; prije nego im se približio, poènu se dogovarati da ga ubiju.

19. And they said one to another: “Behold, the dreamer approaches.

19. I jedan drugom reèe: "Eno stiže onaj sanjar!

20. Come, let us kill him and cast him into the old cistern. And let us say: ‘an evil wild beast has devoured him.’ And then it will become apparent what his dreams will do for him.”

20. Hajde da ga sad ubijemo i bacimo u kakvu èatrnju! Možemo kazati da ga je proždrla divlja zvijer. Vidjet æemo što æe biti od njegovih snova!"

21. But Reuben, on hearing this, strove to free him from their hands, and he said:

21. Ali kad je to èuo Ruben, pokuša da ga izbavi iz njihovih šaka. I reèe: "Nemojmo oduzimati njegova života!

22. “Do not take away his life, nor shed blood. But throw him into this cistern, which is in the wilderness, and so keep your hands harmless.” But he said this, wanting to rescue him from their hands, so as to return him to his father.

22. Ne prolijevajte krvi" - dalje je govorio Ruben. "Bacite ga u èatrnju u pustari; ali ne dižite na nj ruke!" Htio ga je tako izbaviti iz njihovih šaka i odvesti ocu.

23. And so, as soon as he came to his brothers, they very quickly stripped him of his tunic, which was ankle-length and woven of many colors,

23. Ali kad je Josip stigao braæi, oni s Josipa svuku njegovu haljinu, haljinu kiæenu što je bila na njemu;

24. and they cast him into an old cistern, which held no water.

24. pograbe ga i bace u èatrnju. Èatrnja je bila prazna; nije bilo u njoj vode.

25. And sitting down to eat bread, they saw some Ishmaelites, travelers coming from Gilead, with their camels, carrying spices, and resin, and oil of myrrh into Egypt.

25. Potom sjednu da ruèaju. Kako podignu svoje oèi, opaze povorku Jišmaelaca gdje dolazi iz Gileada. Deve su im nosile mirodije, balzam i mirisavu smolu da ih preprodaju u Egipat.

26. Therefore, Judah said to his brothers: “What will it profit us, if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?

26. Tada reèe Juda svojoj braæi: "Što æemo postiæi ako ubijemo svog brata a krv njegovu sakrijemo?

27. It is better that he be sold to the Ishmaelites, and then our hands will not be defiled. For he is our brother and our flesh.” His brothers agreed to his words.

27. Hajde da ga prodamo Jišmaelcima; ali ne dižimo na nj ruke. TÓa on je naš brat, naše meso." Braæa ga poslušaju.

28. And when the Midianite merchants were passing by, they drew him from the cistern, and they sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And these led him into Egypt.

28. Uto naiðu ljudi, midjanski trgovci. Braæa izvuku Josipa iz èatrnje i prodaju ga za dvadeset srebrnika Jišmaelcima, a oni Josipa dovedu u Egipat.

29. And Reuben, returning to the cistern, did not find the boy.

29. Kad se Ruben vratio k èatrnji i vidio da Josipa nema u èatrnji, razdere svoju odjeæu.

30. And rending his garments, he went to his brothers and said, “The boy is not present, and so where shall I go?”

30. A kad se vratio svojoj braæi, povika: "Djeèaka nema! Kamo æu ja sad?"

31. Then they took his tunic, and they dipped it in the blood of a young goat, which they had killed,

31. A oni uzmu Josipovu haljinu, zakolju jedno kozle i haljinu zamoèe u krv.

32. sending those who carried it to their father, and they said: “We found this. See whether it is the tunic of your son or not.”

32. Kiæenu haljinu otpreme ocu i poruèe: "Ovo smo našli; gledaj je li ovo haljina tvoga sina ili nije."

33. And when the father acknowledged it, he said: “It is the tunic of my son. An evil wild beast has eaten him; a beast has devoured Joseph.”

33. Prepozna je on pa reèe: "Haljina je moga sina! Divlja ga je zvijer rastrgla! Na komade je Josip rastrgan!"

34. And tearing his garments, he was clothed in haircloth, mourning his son for a long time.

34. I razdere Jakov svoje haljine, stavi pokornièku kostrijet oko bokova i dugo vremena oplakivaše svoga sina.

35. Then, when all of his sons gathered together to ease their father’s sorrow, he was not willing to accept consolation, but he said: “I will descend in mourning to my son in the underworld.” And while he persevered in weeping,

35. Svi su ga njegovi sinovi i sve njegove kæeri nastojali utješiti, ali se on ne mogaše utješiti. Govorio je: "Ne, siæi æu k svome sinu u Šeol tugujuæi!" Tako ga je oplakivao njegov otac.

36. the Midianites in Egypt sold Joseph to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, instructor of the soldiers.

36. A Midjanci ga prodaju u Egipat Potifaru, dvoraninu faraonovu, zapovjedniku straže.
