1 Mosebog 44
1 Derefter befalede han sin Hushovmester: »Fyld Mændenes Sække med Korn, saa meget de kan have med sig, og læg hvers Pengesum oven i hans Sæk
And he commanded [the one] who [was] over household his saying fill [the] sacks of the men food just as they are able! to carry and put [the] silver of each man in [the] mouth of sack his.
2 og læg mit eget Sølvbæger oven i den yngstes Sæk sammen med Pengene for hans Korn!« Og han gjorde, som Josef bød.
And cup my [the] cup of silver you will put in [the] mouth of [the] sack of the young [brother] and [the] silver of grain his and he did according to [the] word of Joseph which he had spoken.
3 Da Morgenen gryede, fik Mændene Lov at drage bort med deres Æsler.
The morning it was light and the men they were sent off they and donkeys their.
4 Men før de var kommet ret langt fra Byen, bød Josef sin Hushovmester: »Sæt efter Mændene, og naar du indhenter dem, sig saa til dem: Hvorfor har I gengældt godt med ondt?
They they came out the city not they had gone far and Joseph he said to [the one] who [was] over household his arise pursue after the men and you will overtake them and you will say to them why? have you repaid evil for good.
5 Hvorfor har I stjaalet mit Sølvbæger? Det er jo min Herres Mundbæger, som han bruger til at tage Varsler af! Ilde har I handlet ved at gøre saaledes!«
¿ Not [is] this [that] which he drinks master my in it and he indeed he practices divination by it you have done evil [that] which you have done.
6 Og da han havde indhentet dem, sagde han det til dem.
And he overtook them and he spoke to them the words these.
7 Men de svarede: »Hvor kan min Herre tale saaledes? Det være langt fra dine Trælle at gøre sligt!
And they said to him why? does he speak master my according to the words these far be it to servants your from doing according to the manner this.
8 Se, de Penge, vi fandt oven i vore Sække, bragte vi tilbage til dig fra Kana'ans Land — hvorfor skulde vi da stjæle Guld eller Sølv fra din Herres Hus!
Here! silver which we found in [the] mouth of sacks our we brought back to you from [the] land of Canaan and how? will we steal from [the] house of master your silver or gold.
9 Den af dine Trælle, det findes hos, skal dø, og desuden vil vi andre være din Herres Trælle!«
[anyone] whom It is found with him of servants your and he will die and also we we will be[long] to lord my to slaves.
10 Han svarede: »Vel, lad det blive, som I siger: Den, Bægeret findes hos, skal være min Træl, men I andre skal være sagesløse!«
And he said also now according to words your [will be] so it [anyone] whom it is found with him he will be of me slave and you you will be innocent.
11 Saa skyndte de sig at løfte hver sin Sæk ned paa Jorden og aabne den,
And they hurried and they brought down each man sack his [the] ground towards and they opened each man sack his.
12 og han undersøgte dem fra den ældstes til den yngstes, og Bægeret blev fundet i Benjamins Sæk.
And he searched with the old [brother] he began and with the young [brother] he finished and it was found the cup in [the] sack of Benjamin.
13 Da sønderrev de deres Klæder, og efter at have læsset Sækkene hver paa sit Æsel vendte de tilbage til Byen.
And they tore clothes their and he loaded each man on donkey his and they went back the city towards.
14 Da Juda og hans Brødre kom ind i Josefs Hus, hvor han endnu var, kastede de sig til Jorden for ham;
And he came Judah and brothers his [the] house of towards Joseph and he still he [was] there and they fell before him [the] ground towards.
15 men Josef sagde til dem: »Hvad har I gjort! Ved I ikke, at en Mand som jeg forstaar sig paa hemmelige Kunster?«
And he said to them Joseph what? [is] the deed this which you have done ¿ not do you know that indeed he practices divination a man who [is] like me.
16 Da sagde Juda: »Hvad skal vi svare min Herre, hvad skal vi sige, og hvorledes skal vi retfærdiggøre os? Gud har fundet dine Trælles Brøde! Se, vi er min Herres Trælle, baade vi andre og han, Bægeret fandtes hos!«
And he said Judah what? will we say to lord my what? will we speak and what? will we justify ourselves God he has found [the] guilt of servants your here we [are] slaves of lord my both we as well as [the one] who it was found the cup in hand his.
17 Men han svarede: »Det være langt fra mig at handle saaledes; den, Bægeret fandtes hos, skal være min Træl, men I andre kan i Fred drage hjem til eders Fader.«
And he said far be it to me from doing this the man whom it was found the cup in hand his he he will be of me slave and you go up to peace to father your.
18 Da traadte Juda hen til ham og sagde: »Hør mig, min Herre, lad din Træl tale et Ord for min Herres Øren og lad ikke Vreden blusse op i dig mod din Træl, thi du er jo som Farao!
And he drew near to him Judah and he said pardon me O lord my may he speak please servant your a word in [the] ears of lord my and may not it burn anger your on servant your for as you as Pharaoh.
19 Min Herre spurgte sine Trælle Har I Fader eller Broder?
Lord my he asked servants his saying ¿ [does] there [belong] to you a father or a brother.
20 Og vi svarede min Herre: Ja, vi har en gammel Fader, og der er en Dreng, som blev født i hans Alderdom; en Broder til ham er død, og selv er han den eneste, hans Moder efterlod sig, og hans Fader elsker ham.
And we said to lord my there [belongs] to us a father old and a child of old age young and brother his he died and he was left he to only him to mother his and father his he loves him.
21 Saa sagde du til dine Trælle: Bring ham med herned til mig, at jeg kan se ham med egne Øjne!
And you said to servants your bring down him to me so let me set eye my on him.
22 Men vi svarede min Herre: Drengen kan ikke forlade sin Fader, thi hans Fader dør, hvis han forlader ham!
And we said to lord my not he will be able the young man to leave father his and he will leave father his and he will die.
23 Saa sagde du til dine Trælle: Kommer eders yngste Broder ikke med herned, saa bliver I ikke mere stedt for mit Aasyn!
And you said to servants your if not he will come down brother your young with you not you will repeat! to see face my.
24 Vi rejste saa op til din Træl, min Fader, og fortalte ham, hvad min Herre havde sagt.
And it was that we went up to servant your father my and we told to him [the] words of lord my.
25 Da vor Fader siden sagde: Rejs atter hen og køb os lidt Føde!
And he said father our go back buy for us a little of food.
26 svarede vi: Vi kan ikke rejse derned, hvis ikke vor yngste Broder følger med, thi vi bliver ikke stedt for Mandens Aasyn, medmindre vor yngste Broder er med!
And we said not we are able to go down if there [is] brother our young with us and we will go down for not we will be able to see [the] face of the man and brother our young not he [is] with us.
27 Saa sagde din Træl, min Fader, til os: I ved jo, at min Hustru fødte mig to Sønner;
And he said servant your father my to us you you know that two [sons] she bore to me wife my.
28 den ene gik bort fra mig, og jeg sagde: Han er sikkerlig revet ihjel! Og jeg har ikke set ham siden;
And he went out the one from with me and I said surely certainly he has been torn to pieces and not I have seen him until now.
29 hvis I nu ogsaa tager denne fra mig, og der tilstøder ham en Ulykke, bringer I mine graa Haar i Dødsriget med Smerte! (Sheol h7585)
And you will take also this [one] from with presence my and it will happen to him harm and you will cause to go down gray hair my in calamity Sheol towards. (Sheol h7585)
30 Kommer jeg derfor hjem til din Træl, min Fader, uden at Drengen, ved hvem han hænger med hele sin Sjæl, er med,
And therefore when come I to servant your father my and the lad not [is] he with us and life his [is] bound up with life his.
31 saa bliver det hans Død, naar han ser, at Drengen ikke er med, og dine Trælle vil bringe din Træl vor Faders graa Haar i Dødsriget med Sorg. (Sheol h7585)
And it will be when sees he that there not [is] the young man and he will die and they will bring down servants your [the] gray hair of servant your father our in sorrow Sheol towards. (Sheol h7585)
32 Men din Træl skal svare sin Fader for Drengen, og jeg har forpligtet mig til at være hans Skyldner for bestandig, hvis jeg ikke bringer ham til ham;
For servant your he stood surety for the young man from with father my saying if not I will bring him to you and I will be culpable to father my all the days.
33 lad derfor din Træl blive tilbage i Drengens Sted som min Herres Træl, men lad Drengen drage hjem med sine Brødre!
And therefore let him remain please servant your in place of the young man a slave of lord my and the lad let him go up with brothers his.
34 Thi hvorledes skulde jeg kunne drage hjem til min Fader, naar jeg ikke har Drengen med? Jeg vil ikke kunne være Vidne til den Ulykke, der rammer min Fader!«
For how? will I go up to father my and the lad not [is] he with me lest I should look on the calamity which it will find father my.
