1 Mojžišova 43
1 Byl pak hlad veliký v krajině té.
The famine in Canaan got worse.
2 I stalo se, když vytrávili obilí, kteréž přinesli z Egypta, že řekl k nim otec jejich: Jděte zase, a nakupte nám něco potravy.
Finally, when Jacob and his family had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, Jacob said to them, “Go back to Egypt and buy some more grain for us!”
3 I mluvil k němu Juda těmito slovy: Velice se zařekl muž ten, řka: Neuzříte tváři mé, nebude-li bratr váš s vámi.
But Judah said to him, “The man who sold us the grain warned us sternly, ‘I will not let you see me [SYN] again if you come and your younger brother is not with you.’
4 Jestliže pošleš bratra našeho s námi, půjdeme a nakoupíme tobě potravy;
So, if you will send our younger brother with us, we will go down to Egypt and buy some grain for you.
5 Pakli nepošleš, nepůjdeme. Nebo pověděl nám muž ten: Neuzříte tváři mé, nebude-li bratr váš s vámi.
But if you will not send him, we will not go down there, because that man said to us, ‘I will not let you see me again if your younger brother is not with you.’”
6 I řekl Izrael: Proč jste mi tak zle učinili, oznámivše muži tomu, že máte ještě bratra?
Jacob asked, “Why did you cause me to have this trouble by telling the man that you had a younger 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?
One of them replied, “The man asked about us and about our family. He said, ‘Is your father still living? Do you have another brother?’ We had to answer his questions. (We could not know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’/How could we know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’)” [RHQ]
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.
Then Judah said to his father Jacob, “Send the boy with me, and we will go immediately, in order that we and you and our children may get grain and not die from hunger.
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 myself will guarantee that he will return. You can require me to do what I am promising [IDM]. If I do not bring him back to you safely, you can say forever that (I am to blame/it was my fault [that he did not return to you)].
10 A kdybychom byli neprodlévali, jistě již bychom se byli dvakrát vrátili.
If we had not (wasted so much time/waited so long), by now we could have gone there and returned two times!”
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.
Then their father Jacob said to them, “If there is no other way, do this: Put in your sacks some of the best things that are grown in this land, and take them down to the man as a gift. Take some balm/perfume and honey and spices and myrrh/ointment, some pistachio nuts, 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.
Take twice as much money as you took the previous time, because you must return the silver that someone put in the tops of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake that it was put in your sacks.
13 Bratra svého také vezměte, a vstanouce, jděte zase k muži tomu.
Take your younger brother and go back to that 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.
I will pray that God Almighty will cause that man to act mercifully toward you, so that he will let your other brother, as well as Benjamin, come back here with you. But as for me, if my sons are taken from me, then I will not have my sons!”
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.
So the men took the gifts that Jacob said that they should take, and twice the amount of money that the grain would cost, and they also took Benjamin. They went down quickly to Egypt, and they stood in front 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.
When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the man who (was in charge of/supervised) things in his house, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare a meal, because I want them to eat with me at noon.” [And he told him in what order they were to be seated].
17 I učinil muž ten, jakž rozkázal Jozef, a uvedl ty lidi do domu Jozefova.
The man did as Joseph said. And he took them to Joseph’s 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.
But they were afraid because he was taking them to Joseph’s house. They were thinking, “He is taking us here because of the silver that was put in our sacks the first time that we came here. While we are eating, he will have his servants attack us and seize us and cause us to become his slaves, and also take our donkeys.”
19 A přistoupivše k muži tomu, kterýž spravoval v domě Jozefově, mluvili k němu ve dveřích domu,
They went with the man who was in charge of things in Joseph’s house. When they arrived at the entrance of the house,
20 A řekli: Slyš mne, pane můj. Přišli jsme byli ponejprvé kupovati potrav.
one of them said to him, “Please, sir, listen to me. We came down here previously and bought some grain.
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.
But at the place where we stopped for the night as we were returning home, we opened our sacks. We were astonished to see that in the top of each of our sacks was the exact amount of silver that we had paid for the grain! So we have brought it back with us.
22 Jiné také peníze přinesli jsme v rukou svých, abychom nakoupili potravy; nevíme, kdo jest zase vložil peníze naše do pytlů našich.
We have also brought more silver with us to buy more grain. We do not know who put the silver in 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.
The man replied, [“Relax]! Do not worry about it! I received the silver that you brought. Your God, the God your father worships, must have put it in your sacks.” And then he brought Simeon to them from the prison.
24 Uved tedy muž ten lidi ty do domu Jozefova, dal jim vody, aby umyli nohy své, dal také obrok oslům jejich.
Then he took them into Joseph’s house. He gave them water to wash their feet and gave them food for the donkeys.
25 Mezi tím připravili dar ten, dokudž nepřišel Jozef v poledne; nebo slyšeli, že by tu měli jísti chléb.
He told them that they were going to eat with Joseph at noon. So the men prepared their gifts to give to Joseph when he arrived.
26 Tedy přišel Jozef domů. I přinesli mu dar, kterýž měli v rukou svých, a klaněli se jemu až k zemi.
When Joseph came home, they presented to him the gifts that they had brought into the house. Then they bowed down to the ground in front of him.
27 I ptal se jich, jak se mají, a řekl: Zdráv-liž jest otec váš starý, o němž jste pravili? Živ-li jest ještě?
He asked them if they were (well/in good health), and then he asked, “How is the health of your old father, the one that you told me about? Is he still living?”
28 Kteřížto odpověděli: Zdráv jest služebník tvůj otec náš, a ještě živ jest. A sklánějíce hlavy, poklonu mu činili.
One of them replied, “Yes, our father, [who is willing to be] your servant, is still alive, and he is well.” Then again they bowed down in front of 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 he saw his [younger] brother Benjamin, his own mother’s other son. He asked them, “Is this your youngest brother, the one whom you told me about?” After they said “Yes,” he said to Benjamin, “Young man, I pray that God will act kindly toward you.”
30 Tedy pospíšil Jozef, (nebo pohnula se střeva jeho nad bratrem jeho, ) a hledal, kde by mohl plakati; a všed do pokoje, plakal tam.
Joseph quickly left the room. He realized that he was about to cry because he (was full of emotion about his younger brother/loved his younger brother so much). He went into his private room and cried there.
31 Potom umyv tvář svou, vyšel zase, a zdržoval se, a řekl: Klaďte chléb.
Then, after he washed the tears from his face, he came out, and controlling his emotions, he said to the servants, “Serve the food!”
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.
The people of Egypt considered that it was disgraceful for them to eat with Hebrews, so the servants served food to Joseph by himself, and served the other people of Egypt who ate with him by themselves, and they served Joseph’s older brothers and younger brother by themselves.
33 Tedy seděli proti němu, prvorozený podlé prvorozenství svého, a mladší podlé mladšího věku svého. I divili se muži ti vespolek.
His brothers were astonished to see that their seats were arranged according to their ages, from the oldest to the youngest!
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 when their portions of food were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as anyone else’s portion! So they ate food and drank wine with Joseph and became very cheerful.
