< Genesis 44 >
1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.
И заповеди Јосиф човеку што управљаше кућом његовом говорећи: Наспи овим људима у вреће жита колико могу понети, и свакоме у врећу метни озго новце његове.
2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his grain money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
И чашу моју, чашу сребрну, метни најмлађем у врећу одозго и новце за његово жито. И учини како му Јосиф рече.
3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
А ујутру кад свану, отпустише људе с магарцима њиховим.
4 And when they were gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, Up, follow after the men, and when thou overtake them, say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good?
А кад изађоше из места и још не беху далеко, рече Јосиф човеку што управљаше кућом његовом: Устани, иди брже за оним људима, и кад их стигнеш реци им: Зашто враћате зло за добро?
5 Is not this that in which my lord drinks, and how he indeed divines? Ye have done evil in so doing.
Није ли то чаша из које пије мој господар? И неће ли по њој зацело познати какви сте? Зло сте радили што сте то учинили.
6 And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these words.
И он их стиже, и рече им тако.
7 And they said to him, Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from thy servants that they should do such a thing.
А они му рекоше: Зашто говориш, господару, такве речи? Сачувај Боже да слуге твоје учине такво шта!
8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again to thee out of the land of Canaan. How then would we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
Ено смо ти донели натраг из земље хананске новце које нађосмо озго у врећама својим, па како бисмо украли из куће господара твог сребро или злато?
9 With whomever of thy servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
У ког се између слуга твојих нађе, онај нека погине, и сврх тога ми ћемо бити робови господару мом.
10 And he said, Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom it is found shall be my bondman, and ye shall be blameless.
А он рече: Нека буде како рекосте; али у кога се нађе, онај да ми буде роб, а ви остали нећете бити криви.
11 Then they hurried, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
И брже поскидаше сви на земљу вреће своје, и разрешише сваки своју врећу.
12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left off at the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
А он стаде тражити почевши од најстаријег, и кад дође на најмлађег, нађе се чаша у врећи Венијаминовој.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and every man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.
Тада раздреше хаљине своје, и натоваривши сваки свој товар на свог магарца вратише се у град.
14 And Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house. And he was yet there, and they fell before him on the ground.
И дође Јуда с браћом својом Јосифу у кућу, док он још беше код куће, и падоше пред њим на земљу.
15 And Joseph said to them, What deed is this that ye have done? Know ye not that such a man as I can indeed divine?
А Јосиф им рече: Шта сте то учинили? Зар нисте знали да човек као што сам ја може зацело дознати?
16 And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak, or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of thy servants. Behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.
Тада рече Јуда: Шта да ти кажемо, господару? Шта да говоримо? Како ли да се правдамо? Бог је открио злочинство твојих слуга. Ево, ми смо сви робови твоји, господару, и ми и овај у кога се нашла чаша.
17 And he said, Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my bondman, but as for you, get you up in peace to your father.
А Јосиф рече: Боже сачувај! Нећу ја то; у кога се нашла чаша он нека ми буде роб, а ви идите с миром оцу свом.
18 Then Judah came near to him, and said, Oh, my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant, for thou are even as Pharaoh.
Али Јуда приступив к њему рече: Чуј ме, господару; допусти да проговори слуга твој господару свом, и нека се гнев твој не распали на слугу твог, јер си ти као сам Фараон.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
Господар мој запита слуге своје говорећи: Имате ли оца или брата?
20 And we said to my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one. And his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him.
А ми рекосмо господару свом: Имамо старог оца и брата најмлађег, који му се роди у старости; а његов је брат умро, и он оста сам од матере своје, и отац га пази.
21 And thou said to thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes upon him.
А ти рече слугама својим: Доведите ми га да видим својим очима.
22 And we said to my lord, The young man cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
И рекосмо господару свом: Неће моћи дете оставити оца свог; да остави оца свог, одмах ће отац умрети.
23 And thou said to thy servants, Unless your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
А ти рече слугама својим: Ако не дође брат ваш најмлађи, нећете видети лице моје.
24 And it came to pass when we came up to thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
А кад се вратисмо к слузи твом а оцу мом, казасмо му речи господара мог.
25 And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food.
После рече нам отац: Идите опет, купите нам хране.
26 And we said, We cannot go down. If our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down, for we may not see the man's face unless our youngest brother be with us.
А ми рекосмо: Не можемо ићи, осим ако буде брат наш најмлађи с нама, онда ћемо ићи, јер не можемо видети лица оног човека, ако не буде с нама брат наш најмлађи.
27 And thy servant my father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two sons.
А слуга твој, отац мој, рече нам: Знате да ми је жена родила два сина.
28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces, and I have not seen him since.
И један од њих отиде од мене, и рекох: Зацело га је раскинула зверка; и до сада га не видех.
29 And if ye take this one also from me, and harm befall him, ye will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol )
Ако и овог одведете од мене и задеси га како зло, свалићете ме старог у гроб с тугом. (Sheol )
30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the young man is not with us, since his life is bound up in the young man's life,
Па сада да отидем к слузи твом, оцу свом, а ово дете да не буде с нама, како је душа оног везана за душу овог,
31 it will come to pass, when he sees that the young man is not with us, that he will die. And thy servants will bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol )
Умреће кад види да нема детета, те ће слуге твоје свалити старог слугу твог, а оца свог, с тугом у гроб. (Sheol )
32 For thy servant became surety for the young man to my father, saying, If I do not bring him to thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father forever.
А твој се слуга подјемчио за дете оцу свом рекавши: Ако ти га не доведем натраг, да сам крив оцу свом до века.
33 Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide a bondman to my lord instead of the young man, and let the young man go up with his brothers.
Зато нека слуга твој остане место детета, да буде роб господару мом, а дете нека иде с браћом својом.
34 For how shall I go up to my father, if the young man be not with me? Lest I see the evil that shall come on my father.
Јер како бих се вратио к оцу свом без детета, да гледам јаде који би ми оца задесили?
