Kniha Genezis

1 (KAT) Jakub sa osadil v krajine, kde sa zdržiaval jeho otec ako prišelec, v krajine Kanaán.
1 (KJV) And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.

2 (KAT) Toto sú dejiny Jakubovej rodiny: Jozef mal sedemnásť rokov a pásaval so svojimi bratmi ovce. Bol ešte chlapec, keď bol so synmi otcových žien Baly a Zelfy. A potom Jozef doniesol o nich otcovi zlé zvesti.
2 (KJV) These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.

3 (KAT) Izrael miloval najviac zo všetkých synov Jozefa, lebo sa mu narodil v jeho starobe, a dával mu robiť pestrofarebnú tuniku.
3 (KJV) 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 colours.

4 (KAT) Keď jeho bratia videli, že ho má otec radšej ako všetkých ostatných synov, začali ho nenávidieť a neboli schopní prívetivo sa s ním rozprávať.
4 (KJV) And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.

5 (KAT) A keď mal raz Jozef sen a rozpovedal ho svojim bratom, znenávideli ho ešte väčšmi.
5 (KJV) And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

6 (KAT) Povedal im: „Počujte, aký som mal sen!
6 (KJV) And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:

7 (KAT) Boli sme na poli zamestnaní viazaním snopov a tu sa môj snop postavil a ostal stáť. Tu sa vaše snopy postavili dookola a klaňali sa môjmu snopu!“
7 (KJV) For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.

8 (KAT) Bratia mu povedali: „Vari chceš nad nami kraľovať alebo panovať?“ A znenávideli ho ešte viac pre jeho sen a pre jeho reči.
8 (KJV) And his brethren 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 (KAT) A mal ešte iný sen a prezradil ho svojmu otcovi a svojim bratom. Hovoril: „Opäť som mal sen! Slnko, mesiac a jedenásť hviezd sa mi klaňalo.“
9 (KJV) And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

10 (KAT) Toto rozprával svojmu otcovi a svojim bratom. A jeho otec mu robil výčitky a vravel mu: „Čo je to za sen, čo si mal? Hádam ja, tvoja matka a tvoji bratia prídeme a budeme sa ti klaňať až po zem?“
10 (KJV) And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?

11 (KAT) A jeho bratia žiarlili, ale otec si to zapamätal.
11 (KJV) And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.

12 (KAT) Raz odišli jeho bratia pásť ovce svojho otca k Sichemu.
12 (KJV) And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.

13 (KAT) Vtedy povedal Izrael Jozefovi: „Tvoji bratia pasú pri Sicheme, chcem ťa poslať za nimi.“ On mu odpovedal: „Dobre, pôjdem.“
13 (KJV) And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.

14 (KAT) Na to mu povedal: „Len choď a pozri, či sa dobre vodí tvojim bratom a ovciam. A dones mi zvesť!“ Tak ho poslal z hebronského údolia a došiel do Sichemu.
14 (KJV) And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

15 (KAT) Keď potom blúdil po poli, stretol istého muža, ktorý sa ho opýtal: „Kohože hľadáš?“
15 (KJV) And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?

16 (KAT) On odvetil: „Hľadám svojich bratov. Povedz mi, prosím, kde pasú?“
16 (KJV) And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.

17 (KAT) Muž mu povedal: „Odišli odtiaľto ďalej, ale počul som ich hovoriť: »Poďme do Dotainu!«“ A Jozef šiel za svojimi bratmi a našiel ich v Dotaine.
17 (KJV) And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.

18 (KAT) Keď ho zďaleka zazreli, prv, ako k nim došiel, sa dohodli, že ho zabijú.
18 (KJV) And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.

19 (KAT) Hovorili si medzi sebou: „Tamto ide snár!
19 (KJV) And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.

20 (KAT) Poďme, zabijeme ho a hodíme ho do cisterny! A povieme, že ho zožrala divá zver. Potom sa uvidí, čo značia jeho sny!“
20 (KJV) Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

21 (KAT) Keď to počul Ruben, usiloval sa vyslobodiť ho z ich rúk a vravel: „Neberme mu život!“
21 (KJV) And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.

22 (KAT) A Ruben im vravel ďalej: „Neprelievajte nijakú krv! Hoďte ho do tej cisterny, čo je na pustine! Len nevzťahujte naň ruky!“ To preto, že ho chcel vyslobodiť z ich rúk a priviesť k svojmu otcovi.
22 (KJV) And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.

23 (KAT) A len čo došiel Jozef k svojim bratom, zobliekli Jozefovi jeho tuniku, tú pestrofarbistú tuniku, čo mal na sebe,
23 (KJV) And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;

24 (KAT) chytili ho a hodili do cisterny. Cisterna bola prázdna, voda v nej nebola.
24 (KJV) And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.

25 (KAT) Potom si posadali a jedli, a keď zdvihli oči, videli, že prichádza karavána Izmaelitov od Galaádu. Ich ťavy boli obťažené balzamom, mastixovou živicou a ladanumom; boli s tým na ceste do Egypta.
25 (KJV) And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.

26 (KAT) Tu povedal Júda svojim bratom: „Čo budeme mať z toho, keď nášho brata zahubíme a zatajíme jeho krv?
26 (KJV) And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?

27 (KAT) Predajme ho radšej Izmaelitom a nevzťahujme naň svoje ruky! Veď je to náš brat a naše vlastné telo!“ A jeho bratia súhlasili.
27 (KJV) Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.

28 (KAT) Keď teda išli madiánski kupci okolo, vytiahli Jozefa z cisterny a predali ho za dvadsať strieborných Izmaelitom. A oni odviedli Jozefa do Egypta.
28 (KJV) Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.

29 (KAT) Keď sa Ruben vrátil k cisterne, Jozefa tam už nebolo. Roztrhol si šaty,
29 (KJV) And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.

30 (KAT) vrátil sa k svojim bratom a povedal: „Chlapca tu už niet! A kde sa ja podejem?“
30 (KJV) And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?

31 (KAT) Oni vzali Jozefovu tuniku, zabili kozľa a namočili tuniku do krvi.
31 (KJV) And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;

32 (KAT) A po poslovi dali tuniku zaniesť svojmu otcovi s odkazom: „Toto sme našli. Pozri, či to je tunika tvojho syna, alebo nie!“
32 (KJV) And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.

33 (KAT) Keď si to obzrel, povedal: „Tunika môjho syna! Divá zver ho zožrala! Roztrhaný, roztrhaný je Jozef!“
33 (KJV) And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

34 (KAT) A Jakub si roztrhol šaty, obliekol si smútočný odev a dlhý čas smútil za svojím synom.
34 (KJV) And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

35 (KAT) Hoci sa namáhali všetci jeho synovia a dcéry potešiť ho, nedal sa potešiť a vravel: „V smútku zostúpim do podsvetia k svojmu synovi.“ Tak ho oplakával jeho otec.
35 (KJV) And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.

36 (KAT) No Madiánčania ho predali do Egypta faraónovmu dvoranovi, veliteľovi telesnej stráže Putifarovi.
36 (KJV) And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
