1 Mojžišova 43
1 Byl pak hlad veliký v krajině té.
Meanwhile, the famine pressed heavily on all the land.
2 I stalo se, když vytrávili obilí, kteréž přinesli z Egypta, že řekl k nim otec jejich: Jděte zase, a nakupte nám něco potravy.
And having consumed the provisions that they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Return and buy us a little food.”
3 I mluvil k němu Juda těmito slovy: Velice se zařekl muž ten, řka: Neuzříte tváři mé, nebude-li bratr váš s vámi.
Judah answered: “The man himself declared to us, under the attestation of an oath, saying: ‘You will not see my face, unless you bring your youngest brother with you.’
4 Jestliže pošleš bratra našeho s námi, půjdeme a nakoupíme tobě potravy;
If therefore you are willing to send him with us, we will travel together, and we will buy necessities for you.
5 Pakli nepošleš, nepůjdeme. Nebo pověděl nám muž ten: Neuzříte tváři mé, nebude-li bratr váš s vámi.
But if you are not willing, we will not go. For the man, as we have often said, declared to us, saying: ‘You will not see my face without your youngest brother.’”
6 I řekl Izrael: Proč jste mi tak zle učinili, oznámivše muži tomu, že máte ještě bratra?
Israel said to them, “You have done this for my misery, in that you revealed to him that you also had another brother.”
7 Odpověděli: Pilně vyptával se muž ten na nás, i na rod náš, mluvě: Jest-li živ ještě otec váš? Máte-li bratra? A dali jsme mu zprávu na ta slova. Zdaž jsme to jak věděti mohli, že dí: Přiveďte bratra svého?
But they responded: “The man questioned us in order, concerning our family: whether our father lived, if we had a brother. And we answered him respectively, according to what he demanded. How could we know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother with you?’”
8 I řekl Juda Izraelovi, otci svému: Pošli to pachole se mnou, a vstanouce, půjdeme, abychom živi byli, a nezemřeli, i my, i ty, i maličcí naši.
Likewise, Judah said to his father: “Send the boy with me, so that we may set out and be able to live, lest we and our little ones should die.
9 Já slibuji za něj; z ruky mé vyhledávej ho. Jestliže nepřivedu ho k tobě, a nepostavím ho před tebou, vinen budu hříchem tobě po všecky dny.
I accept the boy; require him at my hand. Unless I lead him back and restore him to you, I will be guilty of a sin against you for all time.
10 A kdybychom byli neprodlévali, jistě již bychom se byli dvakrát vrátili.
If a delay had not intervened, by now we would have returned here a second time.”
11 I řekl jim Izrael otec jejich: Jestližeť tak býti musí, učiňtež toto: Nabeřte nejvzácnějších užitků země do nádob svých, a doneste muži tomu dar, něco kadidla, a trochu strdi, a vonných věcí a mirry, daktylů a mandlů.
Therefore, their father Israel said to them: “If it is necessary to do so, then do what you will. Take, in your vessels, from the best fruits of the land, and carry down gifts to the man: a little resin, and honey, and storax ointment, oil of myrrh, turpentine, and almonds.
12 Peníze také dvoje vezměte v ruce své, a peníze vložené na vrch do pytlů vašich zase doneste v rukou svých; snad z omýlení to přišlo.
Also, take with you double the money, and carry back what you found in your sacks, lest perhaps it was done in error.
13 Bratra svého také vezměte, a vstanouce, jděte zase k muži tomu.
But also take your brother, and go to the man.
14 A Bůh silný všemohoucí dejž vám najíti milost před mužem tím, ať propustí vám onoho bratra vašeho i tohoto Beniamina. Jáť pak zbaven jsa synů, jako osiřelý budu.
Then may my Almighty God cause him to be pleased by you. And send your brother, whom he holds, back with you, along with this one, Benjamin. But as for me, without my children, I will be like one who is bereaved.”
15 Tedy vzali muži ti dar ten, a dvoje peníze vzali v ruce své, a Beniamina; a vstavše, sstoupili do Egypta, a postavili se před Jozefem.
Therefore, the men took the gifts, and double the money, and Benjamin. And they went down into Egypt, and they stood in the presence of Joseph.
16 Vida pak Jozef Beniamina s nimi, řekl tomu, kterýž spravoval dům jeho: Uveď tyto muže do domu, a zabí hovado a připrav; nebo se mnou jísti budou muži ti o poledni.
And when he had seen them and Benjamin together, he instructed the steward of his house, saying: “Lead the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast, because they will be eating with me at midday.”
17 I učinil muž ten, jakž rozkázal Jozef, a uvedl ty lidi do domu Jozefova.
He did what he had been ordered to do, and he brought the men into the house.
18 Báli se pak muži ti, když uvedeni byli do domu Jozefova, a řekli: Pro ty peníze, kteréž prvé vloženy byly do pytlů našich, sem uvedeni jsme, aby obvině, obořil se na nás, a vzal nás za služebníky i osly naše.
And there, being terrified, they said one to another: “Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we have been brought in, so that he may unleash a false accusation against us, and by violence subjugate both us and our donkeys into servitude.”
19 A přistoupivše k muži tomu, kterýž spravoval v domě Jozefově, mluvili k němu ve dveřích domu,
For this reason, approaching the steward of the house at his door,
20 A řekli: Slyš mne, pane můj. Přišli jsme byli ponejprvé kupovati potrav.
they said: “We beg you, lord, to hear us. We came down once before to buy food.
21 I přihodilo se, když jsme do hospody přišli, a rozvazovali pytle své, a aj, peníze jednoho každého byly svrchu v pytli jeho, peníze naše podlé váhy své; a přinesli jsme je zase v rukou svých.
And having bought it, when we arrived at the inn, we opened our sacks and found the money in the mouths of the sacks, which we now have carried back in the same amount.
22 Jiné také peníze přinesli jsme v rukou svých, abychom nakoupili potravy; nevíme, kdo jest zase vložil peníze naše do pytlů našich.
But we have also brought other silver, so that we may buy those things that are necessary for us. It is not on our conscience who had placed it in our bags.”
23 A on odpověděl: Mějte o to pokoj, nebojte se. Bůh váš, a Bůh otce vašeho dal vám poklad do pytlů vašich; penízeť jsem vaše já přijal. I vyvedl k nim Simeona.
But he responded: “Peace be with you. Do not be afraid. Your God, and the God of your father, has given you the treasure in your sacks. As for the money that you gave to me, I held it as a test.” And he led Simeon out to them.
24 Uved tedy muž ten lidi ty do domu Jozefova, dal jim vody, aby umyli nohy své, dal také obrok oslům jejich.
And having led them into the house, he brought water, and they washed their feet, and he gave fodder to their donkeys.
25 Mezi tím připravili dar ten, dokudž nepřišel Jozef v poledne; nebo slyšeli, že by tu měli jísti chléb.
But they also prepared the gifts, until Joseph entered at midday. For they had heard that they would eat bread there.
26 Tedy přišel Jozef domů. I přinesli mu dar, kterýž měli v rukou svých, a klaněli se jemu až k zemi.
And so Joseph entered his house, and they offered him the gifts, holding them in their hands. And they reverenced prone on the ground.
27 I ptal se jich, jak se mají, a řekl: Zdráv-liž jest otec váš starý, o němž jste pravili? Živ-li jest ještě?
But he, gently greeting them again, questioned them, saying: “Is your father, the old man about whom you spoke to me, in good health? Is he still alive?”
28 Kteřížto odpověděli: Zdráv jest služebník tvůj otec náš, a ještě živ jest. A sklánějíce hlavy, poklonu mu činili.
And they answered: “Your servant, our father, is safe; he is still alive.” And bowing, they reverenced him.
29 Pozdvih pak očí svých, viděl Beniamina bratra svého, syna matky své, a řekl: Tento-li jest bratr váš mladší, o němž jste mi pravili? I řekl: Učiniž Bůh milost s tebou, synu můj!
Then Joseph, lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin, his brother of the same womb, and he said, “Is this your little brother, about whom you spoke to me?” And again, he said, “May God be compassionate to you, my son.”
30 Tedy pospíšil Jozef, (nebo pohnula se střeva jeho nad bratrem jeho, ) a hledal, kde by mohl plakati; a všed do pokoje, plakal tam.
And he hurried out, because his heart had been moved over his brother, and tears gushed out. And going into his chamber, he wept.
31 Potom umyv tvář svou, vyšel zase, a zdržoval se, a řekl: Klaďte chléb.
And when he had washed his face, coming out again, he composed himself, and he said, “Set out bread.”
32 I kladli jemu zvláště, a jim obzvláště, Egyptským také, kteříž s ním jídali, obzvláštně; nebo nemohou Egyptští jísti s Židy chleba, proto že to ohavnost jest Egyptským.
And when it was set out, separately for Joseph, and separately for his brothers, likewise separately for the Egyptians, who ate at the same time, (for it is unlawful for Egyptians to eat with Hebrews, and they consider feasting in this way to be profane)
33 Tedy seděli proti němu, prvorozený podlé prvorozenství svého, a mladší podlé mladšího věku svého. I divili se muži ti vespolek.
they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his state of life. And they wondered exceedingly,
34 A bera jídlo před sebou, podával jim; Beniaminovi pak dostalo se pětkrát více než jiným. I hodovali a hojně se s ním napili.
taking the portions that they received from him. And the greater portion went to Benjamin, so much so that it exceeded five parts. And they drank and became inebriated along with him.
