1 Mojžišova 43
1 Byl pak hlad veliký v krajině té.
But the famine prevailed in 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 it came to pass, when they had finished eating the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again; 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.
And Judas spoke to him, saying, The man, the lord of the country, positively testified to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.
4 Jestliže pošleš bratra našeho s námi, půjdeme a nakoupíme tobě potravy;
If, then, thou send our brother with us, we will go down, and buy thee food;
5 Pakli nepošleš, nepůjdeme. Nebo pověděl nám muž ten: Neuzříte tváři mé, nebude-li bratr váš s vámi.
but if thou send not our brother with us, we will not go: for the man spoke to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.
6 I řekl Izrael: Proč jste mi tak zle učinili, oznámivše muži tomu, že máte ještě bratra?
And Israel said, Why did ye harm me, inasmuch as ye told the man that ye had a 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?
And they said, The man closely questioned us about our family also, saying, Does your father yet live, and have ye a brother? and we answered him according to this question: did we know that he would say to us, Bring your brother?
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.
And Judas said to his father Israel, Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and thou, and our store.
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.
And I engage for him; at my hand do thou require him; if I bring him not to thee, and place him before thee, I shall be guilty toward thee for ever.
10 A kdybychom byli neprodlévali, jistě již bychom se byli dvakrát vrátili.
For if we had not tarried, we should now have returned twice.
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.
And Israel, their father, said to them, If it be so, do this; take of the fruits of the earth in your vessels, and carry down to the man presents of gum and honey, and frankincense, and stacte, and turpentine, and walnuts.
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.
And take double money in your hands, and the money that was returned in your sacks, carry back with you, lest peradventure it is a mistake.
13 Bratra svého také vezměte, a vstanouce, jděte zase k muži tomu.
And take your brother; and arise, go down 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.
And my God give you favour in the sight of the man, and send away your other brother, and Benjamin, for I accordingly as I have been bereaved, am 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.
And the men having taken these presents, and the double money, took in their hands also Benjamin; and they rose up and went down to Egypt, and stood before 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 Joseph saw them and his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said to the steward of his household, Bring the men into the house, and slay beasts and make ready, for the men are to eat bread with me at noon.
17 I učinil muž ten, jakž rozkázal Jozef, a uvedl ty lidi do domu Jozefova.
And the man did as Joseph said; and he brought the men into the house of Joseph.
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 the men, when they perceived that they were brought into the house of Joseph, said, We are brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first; even in order to inform against us, and lay it to our charge; to take us for servants, and our asses.
19 A přistoupivše k muži tomu, kterýž spravoval v domě Jozefově, mluvili k němu ve dveřích domu,
And having approached the man who was over the house of Joseph, they spoke to him in the porch of the house,
20 A řekli: Slyš mne, pane můj. Přišli jsme byli ponejprvé kupovati potrav.
saying, We pray [thee], Sir; we came down at first 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 it came to pass, when we came to unlade, and opened our sacks, [there was] also this money of each in his sack; we have now brought back our money by weight in our hands.
22 Jiné také peníze přinesli jsme v rukou svých, abychom nakoupili potravy; nevíme, kdo jest zase vložil peníze naše do pytlů našich.
And we have brought other money with us to buy food; we know not who put the money into our sacks.
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.
And he said to them, [God deal] mercifully with you; be not afraid; your God, and the God of your fathers, has given you treasures in your sacks, and I have enough of your good money. And he brought Symeon 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 he brought water to wash their feet; and gave provender to their asses.
25 Mezi tím připravili dar ten, dokudž nepřišel Jozef v poledne; nebo slyšeli, že by tu měli jísti chléb.
And they prepared their gifts, until Joseph came at noon, for they heard that he was going to dine there.
26 Tedy přišel Jozef domů. I přinesli mu dar, kterýž měli v rukou svých, a klaněli se jemu až k zemi.
And Joseph entered into the house, and they brought him the gifts which they had in their hands, into the house; and they did him reverence with their face to 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?
And he asked them, How are ye? and he said to them, Is your father, the old man of whom ye spoke, well? Does he yet live?
28 Kteřížto odpověděli: Zdráv jest služebník tvůj otec náš, a ještě živ jest. A sklánějíce hlavy, poklonu mu činili.
And they said, Thy servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And he said, Blessed be that man by God; —and they bowed, and did him reverence.
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!
And Joseph lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said, Is this your younger brother, whom ye spoke of bringing to me? and he said, God have mercy on thee, 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 Joseph was troubled, for his bowels yearned over his brother, and he sought to weep; and he went into his chamber, and wept there.
31 Potom umyv tvář svou, vyšel zase, a zdržoval se, a řekl: Klaďte chléb.
And he washed his face and came out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on 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 they set on [bread] for him alone, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians feasting with him by themselves, for the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for it is an abomination to the Egyptians.
33 Tedy seděli proti němu, prvorozený podlé prvorozenství svého, a mladší podlé mladšího věku svého. I divili se muži ti vespolek.
And they sat before him, the first-born according to his seniority, and the younger according to his youth; and the men looked with amazement every one at his brother.
34 A bera jídlo před sebou, podával jim; Beniaminovi pak dostalo se pětkrát více než jiným. I hodovali a hojně se s ním napili.
And they took their portions from him to themselves; but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as the portions of [the others]. And they drank and were filled with drink with him.
