Postanak 42

1 Kad je Jakov čuo da u Egiptu ima žita, reče svojim sinovima: “Što tu zurite jedan u drugoga?

Then Iaakob saw that there was foode in Egypt, and Iaakob said vnto his sonnes, Why gaze ye one vpon an other?

2 Čujem da ima žita u Egiptu. Otiđite dolje te nam ga odande nabavite da ostanemo na životu i ne pomremo.”

And he said, Behold, I haue heard that there is foode in Egypt, Get you downe thither, and bie vs foode thence, that we may liue and not die.

3 Tako desetero Josipove braće siđe da nabavi žita iz Egipta.

So went Iosephs ten brethren downe to bye corne of the Egyptians.

4 Benjamina, Josipova pravog brata, Jakov ne posla s ostalima. “Da ga ne bi zadesila kakva nesreća”, govorio je.

But Beniamin Iosephs brother woulde not Iaakob send with his brethren: for he saide, Least death should befall him.

5 Među onima koji su išli nabavljati žito, jer u zemlji kanaanskoj vladaše glad, bijahu i sinovi Izraelovi.

And the sonnes of Israel came to bye foode among them that came: for there was famine in the land of Canaan.

6 Josip je bio namjesnik u zemlji; on je dijelio žito svemu svijetu. Dođu tako i Josipova braća i poklone mu se licem do zemlje.

Now Ioseph was gouerner of the land, who solde to all the people of the lande: then Iosephs brethren came, and bowed their face to the groud before him.

7 Josip prepozna braću čim ih ugleda, ali se prema njima vladao kao stranac i oštro im govorio. Zapita ih: “Odakle dolazite?” Odgovore: “Iz zemlje kanaanske došli smo da kupimo hrane.”

And when Ioseph sawe his brethren, hee knewe them, and made himselfe straunge toward them, and spake to them roughly, and saide vnto them, Whence come yee? Who answered, Out of the land of Canaan, to bye vitaile.

8 Iako je Josip prepoznao svoju braću, oni njega nisu prepoznali.

(Now Ioseph knewe his brethren, but they knew not him.

9 Josip se sjeti snova što ih je o njima sanjao. I reče im: “Vi ste uhode! Došli ste da izvidite slaba mjesta ove zemlje.”

And Ioseph remembred the dreames, which he dreamed of them) and he sayde vnto them, Ye are spies, and are come to see the weaknesse of the land.

10 Oni mu odgovore: “Ne, gospodaru! Tvoje su sluge došle da nabave hrane.

But they sayde vnto him, Nay, my lorde, but to bye vitayle thy seruants are come.

11 Svi smo sinovi jednog oca; pošteni smo ljudi; sluge tvoje nikad nisu bile uhode.”

Wee are all one mans sonnes: wee meane truely, and thy seruants are no spies.

12 On će im opet: “Ne, nego ste došli da izvidite slaba mjesta ove zemlje.”

But he saide vnto them, Nay, but yee are come to see the weakenes of the land.

13 Nato oni uzvrate: “Nas, tvojih slugu, bijaše dvanaestero braće - sinovi jednog oca, u zemlji kanaanskoj; najmlađi je sad s ocem, a jednoga više nema.”

And they said, We thy seruants are twelue brethren, the sonnes of one man in the lande of Canaan: and beholde, the yongest is this day with our father, and one is not.

14 No Josip im dobaci: “Onako kako sam vam već rekao: vi ste uhode!

Againe Ioseph sayde vnto them, This is it that I spake vnto you, saying, Ye are spies.

15 Ovako ću vas iskušati: odavde, tako mi faraona, nećete izići ako vaš najmlađi brat ne dođe ovamo!

Hereby ye shall be proued: by the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not goe hence, except your yongest brother come hither.

16 Pošaljite jednoga između sebe da vam dovede brata, a vi ostali u zatvor! Tako ću iskušati vaše riječi i vidjeti je li u vas istina ili nije. Inače, tako mi faraona, vi ste uhode!”

Send one of you which may fet your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proued, whether there bee trueth in you: or els by the life of Pharaoh ye are but spies.

17 Potom ih baci u zatvor na tri dana.

So he put them in warde three dayes.

18 Treći im dan reče Josip: “Izvršite to, i ostat ćete na životu, jer sam ja čovjek bogobojazan.

Then Ioseph said vnto them the third day, This do, and liue: for I feare God.

19 Ako ste pošteni, neka jedan od vas ostane u zatvoru, a vi ostali idite i nosite žito svojim izgladnjelim domovima.

If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bounde in your prison house, and goe ye, carie foode for the famine of your houses:

20 Poslije toga dovedite mi svoga najmlađeg brata, tako da se obistine vaše riječi te da ne izginete.” Oni pristanu.

But bring your yonger brother vnto me, that your wordes may be tried, and that ye dye not: and they did so.

21 Zatim je jedan drugom govorio: “Jao nama! Stiže nas kazna zbog našega brata; gledali smo njegovu muku dok nas je molio za milost, ali ga nismo uslišali. Stoga nas je ova nevolja snašla.”

And they said one to another, We haue verily sinned against our brother, in that we sawe the anguish of his soule, when he besought vs, and we would not heare him: therefore is this trouble come vpon vs.

22 Ruben im odvrati: “Zar vam nisam govorio: Ne ogrešujte se o mladića! Ali vi niste slušali. Sad se traži račun za njegovu krv.”

And Reuben answered them, saying, Warned I not you, saying, Sinne not against the childe, and ye would not heare? and lo, his blood is now required.

23 Nisu znali da ih Josip razumije, jer su se s njim razgovarali preko tumača.

(And they were not aware that Ioseph vnderstoode them: for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.)

24 On se od njih udalji te zaplaka. Opet se vrati i razgovaraše s njima. Onda izdvoji Šimuna između njih i naredi da bude svezan na njihove oči.

Then he turned from them, and wept, and turned to them againe, and communed with them, and tooke Simeon from among them, and bounde him before their eyes.

25 Potom Josip zapovjedi da im vreće napune žitom; da svakome njegov novac metnu u vreću i da im daju poputninu. Tako im učine.

So Ioseph commanded that they should fill their sackes with wheate, and put euery mans money againe in his sacke, and giue them vitaile for the iourney: and thus did he vnto them.

26 Tada oni natovare žito na svoje magarce i krenu odande.

And they layed their vitaile vpon their asses, and departed thence.

27 Kad na prenoćištu jedan od njih otvori svoju vreću da nahrani magarca, opazi svoj novac ozgo u vreći.

And as one of them opened his sacke for to giue his asse prouender in the ynne, he espyed his money: for lo, it was in his sackes mouth.

28 “Moj je novac vraćen!” - povika braći. - “Evo ga u mojoj vreći!” Zadrhta srce u njima. Zgledaše se, uplašeni, i rekoše: “Što nam ovo Bog uradi!”

Then he sayde vnto his brethren, My money is restored: for loe, it is euen in my sacke. And their heart fayled them, and they were astonished, and sayde one to another, What is this, that God hath done vnto vs?

29 Došavši k svome ocu Jakovu u zemlju kanaansku, kazaše mu sve što ih je snašlo.

And they came vnto Iaakob their father vnto the lande of Canaan, and tolde him all that had befallen them, saying,

30 “Čovjek koji je gospodar one zemlje”, rekoše, “oštro nam je govorio i optužio nas kao uhode.

The man, who is Lord of the lande, spake roughly to vs, and put vs in prison as spyes of the countrey.

31 Pošteni smo ljudi, kazasmo mu, i nikad nismo bili uhode.

And we sayd vnto him, We are true men, and are no spies.

32 Bilo nas je dvanaestero braće, sinovi istog oca, ali jednoga više nema, dok se najmlađi sad nalazi s našim ocem u zemlji kanaanskoj.

We be twelue brethren, sonnes of our father: one is not, and the yongest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.

33 Ali čovjek koji je gospodar one zemlje reče nam: 'Ovim ću doznati da ste pošteni ljudi: ostavite jednoga brata kod mene, a vi ostali uzmite što vam treba za izgladnjele domove, pa idite.

Then the Lord of the countrey sayde vnto vs, Hereby shall I knowe if ye be true men: Leaue one of your brethren with me, and take foode for the famine of your houses and depart,

34 Onda mi dovedite svoga najmlađeg brata, tako da znam da niste uhode, nego pošteni ljudi. Poslije toga vratit ću vam vašeg brata, i vi ćete se moći slobodno kretati u ovoj zemlji.'”

And bring your yongest brother vnto me, that I may knowe that ye are no spies, but true men: so will I deliuer you your brother, and yee shall occupie in the land.

35 Kako su praznili svoje vreće, svaki nađe u vreći svoju kesu. Opazivši to, zapadoše u strah - i oni i njihov otac.

And as they emptied their sacks, behold, euery mans bundel of money was in his sacke: and when they and their father sawe the bundels of their money, they were afrayde.

36 “Mene vi ostavljate bez djece!” - reče im njihov otac. - “Josipa je nestalo, Šimuna nema, a sad biste odveli i Benjamina. Sve se to na me svaljuje!”

Then Iaakob their father said to them, Ye haue robbed me of my children: Ioseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Beniamin: all these things are against me.

37 Onda Ruben reče svome ocu: “Ubij moja dva sina ako ti ga ja natrag ne dovedem! Predaj ga u moje ruke, i ja ću ti ga vratiti!”

Then Reuben answered his father, saying, Slay my two sonnes, if I bring him not to thee againe: deliuer him to mine hand, and I will bring him to thee againe.

38 “Moj sin neće s vama!” - uzvrati on. - “Njegov je pravi brat već mrtav, a on je ostao sam. Ako bi ga na putu na koji ćete poći snašla nesreća, u tuzi biste otpravili moju sijedu glavu dolje u Šeol.” (Sheol h7585)

But he said, My sonne shall not go downe with you: for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if death come vnto him by the way which ye goe, then ye shall bring my gray head with sorow vnto the graue. (Sheol h7585)
