Genesis 42
1 Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
Torej ko je Jakob videl, da je bilo v Egiptu žito, je Jakob rekel svojim sinovom: »Zakaj gledate drug drugega?«
2 He said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there, and buy for us from there, so that we may live, and not die.”
Rekel je: »Glejte, slišal sem, da je v Egiptu žito, pojdite tja dol in ga kupite za nas od tod, da bomo lahko živeli in ne umrli.«
3 Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
Jožefovih deset bratov je odšlo dol, da bi v Egiptu nakupili žita.
4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brothers; for he said, “Lest perhaps harm happen to him.”
Toda Jožefovega brata Benjamina Jakob ni poslal s svojimi brati, kajti rekel je: »Da ga ne bi morda doletela nesreča.«
5 The sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Med temi, ki so prihajali, so prišli Izraelovi sinovi kupovat žito, kajti lakota je bila v kánaanski deželi.
6 Joseph was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph’s brothers came, and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the earth.
Jožef pa je bil guverner nad deželo in on je bil tisti, ki je prodajal vsemu ljudstvu dežele. In prišli so Jožefovi bratje in se priklonili pred njim s svojimi obrazi k zemlji.
7 Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but acted like a stranger to them, and spoke roughly with them. He said to them, “Where did you come from?” They said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.”
Jožef je zagledal svoje brate in jih prepoznal, toda naredil se jim je tujca in jim surovo govoril in jim rekel: »Od kod prihajate?« Rekli so: »Iz kánaanske dežele, da kupimo hrano.«
8 Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
Jožef je svoje brate prepoznal, oni pa ga niso prepoznali.
9 Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
Jožef se je spomnil sanj, ki jih je sanjal o njih in jim rekel: »Ogleduhi ste. Prišli ste, da vidite nezavarovanost dežele.«
10 They said to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.
Rekli so mu: »Ne, moj gospod, temveč so tvoji služabniki prišli kupit hrano.
11 We are all one man’s sons; we are honest men. Your servants are not spies.”
Vsi smo sinovi enega moža. Mi smo zvesti možje, tvoji služabniki niso ogleduhi.«
12 He said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land!”
Rekel jim je: »Ne, temveč ste prišli, da vidite nezavarovanost dežele.«
13 They said, “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is today with our father, and one is no more.”
Rekli so: »Tvojih služabnikov je dvanajst bratov, sinovi enega moža v kánaanski deželi in glej, najmlajši je ta dan z našim očetom in enega ni.«
14 Joseph said to them, “It is like I told you, saying, ‘You are spies!’
Jožef pa jim je rekel: »To je to, kar sem vam govoril, « rekoč: »Ogleduhi ste.
15 By this you shall be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go out from here, unless your youngest brother comes here.
S tem boste preizkušeni. Pri faraonovem življenju ne boste šli od tod, razen če ne pride sèm vaš najmlajši brat.
16 Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you shall be bound, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you, or else by the life of Pharaoh surely you are spies.”
Pošljite enega izmed vas in naj gre po vašega brata, vi pa boste zadržani v ječi, da se bodo vaše besede lahko dokazale, če je v vas kaj resnice, ali pa ste, pri faraonovem življenju, zagotovo ogleduhi.«
17 He put them all together into custody for three days.
Vse skupaj jih je za tri dni zaprl v ječo.
18 Joseph said to them the third day, “Do this, and live, for I fear God.
Jožef jim je tretji dan rekel: »Storite to in živite, kajti bojim se Boga.
19 If you are honest men, then let one of your brothers be bound in your prison; but you go, carry grain for the famine of your houses.
Če ste pravi možje, naj bo eden izmed vas zvezan v hiši vaše ječe, vi pa pojdite, nesite žito za lakoto svojih hiš,
20 Bring your youngest brother to me; so will your words be verified, and you will not die.” They did so.
toda svojega najmlajšega brata privedite k meni. Tako bodo vaše besede preverjene in ne boste umrli.« In storili so tako.
21 They said to one another, “We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us, and we would not listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us.”
Rekli so drug drugemu: »Mi smo resnično krivi glede svojega brata v tem, [da] smo videli tesnobo njegove duše, ko nas je rotil, pa mu nismo prisluhnili. Zato je nad nas prišla ta tegoba.«
22 Reuben answered them, saying, “Did not I tell you, saying, ‘Do not sin against the child,’ and you would not listen? Therefore also, behold, his blood is required.”
Ruben jim je odgovoril, rekoč: »Mar vam nisem govoril, rekoč: ›Ne grešite zoper otroka, ‹ pa me niste hoteli poslušati? Zato, glejte, tudi njegova kri je zahtevana.«
23 They did not know that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.
Niso pa vedeli, da jih je Jožef razumel, kajti govoril jim je po tolmaču.
24 He turned himself away from them, and wept. Then he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes.
Obrnil se je okoli, proč od njih in zajokal. In ponovno se je vrnil k njim, se posvetoval z njimi in od njih vzel Simeona ter ga zvezal pred njihovimi očmi.
25 Then Joseph gave a command to fill their bags with grain, and to restore each man’s money into his sack, and to give them food for the way. So it was done to them.
Potem je Jožef zapovedal, da naj njihove vreče napolnijo z žitom in denar vsakega povrnejo v njegovo vrečo in jim dajo preskrbo z živežem za na pot. In tako so jim storili.
26 They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.
Svoje osle so natovorili z žitom in odpotovali od tam.
27 As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food in the lodging place, he saw his money. Behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
Ko pa je eden izmed njih odprl svojo vrečo, da da svojemu oslu krmo v gostišču, je odkril svoj denar, kajti, glej, ta je bil v ustju njegove vreče.
28 He said to his brothers, “My money is restored! Behold, it is in my sack!” Their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”
Svojim bratom je rekel: »Moj denar je povrnjen in glejte, ta je celo v moji vreči.« Njihovo srce jim je omagalo in bili so prestrašeni, rekoč drug drugemu: »Kaj je to, kar nam je storil Bog?«
29 They came to Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened to them, saying,
Prišli so k svojemu očetu Jakobu v kánaansko deželo in mu povedali vse, kar se jim je pripetilo, rekoč:
30 “The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country.
»Mož, ki je gospodar dežele, nam je surovo govoril in nas prijel za ogleduhe dežele.
31 We said to him, ‘We are honest men. We are no spies.
Mi pa smo mu rekli: ›Mi smo pravični možje, mi nismo ogleduhi.
32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is today with our father in the land of Canaan.’
Nas je dvanajst bratov, sinov našega očeta. Enega ni, najmlajši pa je ta dan z našim očetom v kánaanski deželi.‹«
33 The man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your houses, and go your way.
Mož, gospodar dežele, pa nam je rekel: »S tem bom spoznal, da ste pravični možje. Enega izmed svojih bratov pustite tukaj z menoj in vzemite hrano za lakoto svojih družin in odidite.
34 Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and you shall trade in the land.’”
Svojega najmlajšega brata pa privedite k meni. Potem bom vedel, da niste ogleduhi, temveč, da ste pravični možje. Tako vam bom osvobodil vašega brata, vi pa boste preprodajali v deželi.«
35 As they emptied their sacks, behold, each man’s bundle of money was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid.
Pripetilo se je, ko so izpraznili svoje vreče, glej, da je bil sveženj denarja vsakega človeka v njegovi vreči. Ko so tako oni, kakor njihov oče, zagledali svežnje denarja, so bili prestrašeni.
36 Jacob, their father, said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children! Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.”
Njihov oče Jakob jim je rekel: »Oropali ste me mojih otrok. Jožefa ni in Simeona ni in proč hočete odvesti [še] Benjamina. Vse te stvari so zoper mene.«
37 Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “Kill my two sons, if I do not bring him to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him to you again.”
Ruben je spregovoril svojemu očetu: »Moja dva sinova ubij, če ga ne privedem k tebi. Izroči ga v mojo roko, jaz pa ga bom ponovno privedel k tebi.«
38 He said, "My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm happens to him along the way in which you go, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol (Sheol h7585)."
Rekel je: »Moj sin ne bo šel dol s teboj, kajti njegov brat je mrtev, on pa je ostal sam. Če ga po poti, na katero greste, zadene nesreča, potem boste moje sive lase z bridkostjo privedli do groba.« (Sheol h7585)
