Genesis 48
1 After these things, someone said to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick.” He took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Poslije javiše Josifu: eno, otac ti je bolestan. A on povede sa sobom dva sina svoja, Manasiju i Jefrema.
2 Someone told Jacob, and said, “Behold, your son Joseph comes to you,” and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.
I javiše Jakovu i rekoše: evo sin tvoj Josif ide k tebi. A Izrailj se okrijepi, te sjede na postelji svojoj.
3 Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
I reèe Jakov Josifu: Bog svemoguæi javi se meni u Luzu u zemlji Hananskoj, i blagoslovi me;
4 and said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your offspring after you for an everlasting possession.’
I reèe mi: uèiniæu te da narasteš i namnožiš se; i uèiniæu od tebe mnoštvo naroda, i daæu zemlju ovu sjemenu tvojemu nakon tebe da je njihova dovijeka.
5 Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, will be mine.
Sada dakle dva sina tvoja, što ti se rodiše u zemlji Misirskoj prije nego doðoh k tebi u Misir, moji su, Jefrem i Manasija kao Ruvim i Simeun neka budu moji.
6 Your offspring, whom you become the father of after them, will be yours. They will be called after the name of their brothers in their inheritance.
A djeca koju rodiš poslije njih, neka budu tvoja i neka se po imenu braæe svoje zovu u našljedstvu svojem.
7 As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).”
Jer kad se vratih iz Padana, umrije mi Rahilja u zemlji Hananskoj na putu, kad bješe još malo do Efrate; i pogreboh je na putu u Efratu, a to je Vitlejem.
8 Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, “Who are these?”
A vidjev Izrailj sinove Josifove, reèe: ko su ovi?
9 Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” He said, “Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.”
A Josif reèe ocu svojemu: moji sinovi, koje mi Bog dade ovdje. A on reèe: dovedi ih k meni, da ih blagoslovim.
10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he couldn’t see well. Joseph brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
A oèi bjehu Izrailju otežale od starosti, te ne mogaše dobro vidjeti. A kad mu ih privede, cjeliva ih i zagrli.
11 Israel said to Joseph, “I didn’t think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.”
I reèe Izrailj Josifu: nijesam mislio da æu vidjeti lice tvoje; a gle, Bog mi dade da vidim i porod tvoj.
12 Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
A Josif odmaèe ih od koljena njegovijeh i pokloni se licem do zemlje.
13 Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near to him.
Pa ih uze Josif obojicu, Jefrema sebi s desne strane a Izrailju s lijeve, Manasiju pak sebi s lijeve strane a Izrailju s desne; i tako ih primaèe k njemu.
14 Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
A Izrailj pruživ desnu ruku svoju metnu je na glavu Jefremu mlaðemu, a lijevu na glavu Manasiji, tako namjestiv ruke navlaš, ako i jest Manasija bio prvenac.
15 He blessed Joseph, and said, “The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day,
I blagoslovi Josifa govoreæi: Bog, kojemu su svagda ugaðali oci moji Avram i Isak, Bog, koji me je hranio otkako sam postao do današnjega dana,
16 the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. Let them grow into a multitude upon the earth.”
Anðeo, koji me je izbavljao od svakoga zla, da blagoslovi djecu ovu, i da se po mojemu imenu i po imenu otaca mojih Avrama i Isaka prozovu, i da se kao ribe namnože na zemlji!
17 When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. He held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.
A Josif kad vidje gdje otac metnu desnu ruku svoju na glavu Jefremu, ne bi mu milo, pa uhvati za ruku oca svojega da je premjesti s glave Jefremove na glavu Manasijinu.
18 Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head.”
I reèe Josif ocu svojemu: ne tako, oèe; ovo je prvenac, metni desnicu njemu na glavu.
19 His father refused, and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his offspring will become a multitude of nations.”
Ali otac njegov ne htje, nego reèe: znam, sine, znam; i od njega æe postati narod, i on æe biti velik; ali æe mlaði brat njegov biti veæi od njega, i sjeme æe njegovo biti veliko mnoštvo naroda.
20 He blessed them that day, saying, “Israel will bless in your name, saying, ‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh’” He set Ephraim before Manasseh.
I blagoslovi ih u onaj dan i reèe: tobom æe Izrailj blagosiljati govoreæi: Bog da te uèini kao Jefrema i kao Manasiju. Tako postavi Jefrema pred Manasiju.
21 Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.
Poslije reèe Izrailj Josifu: evo ja æu skoro umrijeti; ali æe Bog biti s vama i odvešæe vas opet u zemlju otaca vaših.
22 Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”
I ja ti dajem jedan dio više nego braæi tvojoj, koji uzeh iz ruku Amorejskih maèem svojim i lukom svojim.
