Genesis 42
1 When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why are you staring at one another?”
Kad nu Jēkabs redzēja, ka labība bija Ēģiptes zemē, tad viņš saviem dēliem sacīja: ko jūs skatāties?
2 “Look,” he added, “I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, so that we may live and not die.”
Un viņš sacīja: redzi, es esmu dzirdējis, labību esam Ēģiptes zemē, noejat turp un pērciet mums no turienes, lai dzīvojam un nemirstam.
3 So ten of Joseph’s brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
Tad desmit Jāzepa brāļi nogāja, labības pirkt no Ēģiptes zemes.
4 But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “I am afraid that harm might befall him.”
Bet Benjaminu, Jāzepa brāli, Jēkabs nesūtīja ar viņa brāļiem, jo tas sacīja: ka to kāda nelaime neaizņem.
5 So the sons of Israel were among those who came to buy grain, since the famine had also spread to the land of Canaan.
Tā Israēla dēli nāca, labības pirkt līdz ar citiem, kas turp gāja, jo bads bija arī Kanaāna zemē.
6 Now Joseph was the ruler of the land; he was the one who sold grain to all its people. So when his brothers arrived, they bowed down before him with their faces to the ground.
Un Jāzeps bija tas valdītājs pār zemi un pārdeva visiem tās zemes ļaudīm, un Jāzepa brāļi nāca un klanījās viņa priekšā ar vaigu pie zemes.
7 And when Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he treated them as strangers and spoke harshly to them. “Where have you come from?” he asked. “From the land of Canaan,” they replied. “We are here to buy food.”
Tad Jāzeps redzēja savus brāļus un tos pazina, bet viņš likās pret tiem svešs, un runāja ar tiem bargi un sacīja uz tiem: no kurienes jūs nākat? Un tie sacīja: no Kanaāna zemes, maizes pirkt.
8 Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.
Un Jāzeps pazina savus brāļus, bet tie viņu nepazina.
9 Joseph remembered his dreams about them and said, “You are spies! You have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”
Un Jāzeps pieminēja savus sapņus, ko viņš par tiem bija sapņojis, un viņš uz tiem sacīja: jūs esat izlūki, jūs esat nākuši raudzīt, kur zemei var piekļūt.
10 “Not so, my lord,” they replied. “Your servants have come to buy food.
Un tie uz viņu sacīja: nē, mans kungs, tavi kalpi ir nākuši, maizes pirkt.
11 We are all sons of one man. Your servants are honest men, not spies.”
Mēs visi esam viena vīra dēli, mēs esam taisni ļaudis, tavi kalpi nav izlūki.
12 “No,” he told them. “You have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”
Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: nē, bet jūs esat nākuši izlūkot, kur zemei var piekļūt.
13 But they answered, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is now with our father, and one is no more.”
Un tie sacīja: mēs tavi kalpi bijām divpadsmit brāļi, viena paša vīra dēli Kanaāna zemē, un redzi, tas jaunākais vēl šodien ir pie mūsu tēva, bet tā viena vairs nav.
14 Then Joseph declared, “Just as I said, you are spies!
Tad Jāzeps uz tiem sacīja: tā tas ir, kā es uz jums esmu runājis un sacījis: jūs esat izlūki.
15 And this is how you will be tested: As surely as Pharaoh lives, you shall not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.
Pie tam jūs tapsiet pārbaudīti; tik tiešām kā Faraons dzīvo, jūs no šejienes netiksiet projām, ja jūsu jaunākais brālis nenāk šurpu.
16 Send one of your number to get your brother; the rest of you will be confined so that the truth of your words may be tested. If they are untrue, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!”
Sūtiet vienu no jums, kas atved jūsu brāli, bet jūs paliekat cietumā, tad jūsu vārdi taps pārbaudīti, vai pie jums ir patiesība, un ja ne, tik tiešām kā Faraons dzīvo, tad jūs esat izlūki.
17 So Joseph imprisoned them for three days,
Un viņš tos kopā lika trīs dienas cietumā.
18 and on the third day he said to them, “I fear God. So do this and you will live:
Un trešā dienā Jāzeps uz tiem sacīja: dariet tā, tad jūs dzīvosiet; es bīstos Dievu.
19 If you are honest, leave one of your brothers in custody while the rest of you go and take back grain to relieve the hunger of your households.
Ja jūs esat taisni ļaudis, tad lai viens no jūsu brāļiem paliek saistīts cietumā, un jūs ejat, pārvediet to labību, tādēļ ka bads jūsu mājās.
20 Then bring your youngest brother to me so that your words can be verified, that you may not die.” And to this they consented.
Un atvediet savu jaunāko brāli pie manis, tad jūsu vārdi taps atrasti taisni, un jūs nemirsiet; un tie tā darīja.
21 Then they said to one another, “Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw his anguish when he pleaded with us, but we would not listen. That is why this distress has come upon us.”
Tad tie sacīja viens uz otru: patiesi, mēs esam noziegušies pret savu brāli, ka mēs viņa dvēseles bēdas redzējām, kad viņš no mums žēlastības lūdzās, un neklausījām; tādēļ šās bēdas nāk pār mums.
22 And Reuben responded, “Didn’t I tell you not to sin against the boy? But you would not listen. Now we must account for his blood!”
Un Rūbens tiem atbildēja un sacīja: vai es jums to neteicu sacīdams: neapgrēkojaties pret to bērnu, bet jūs neklausījāt? Un nu redzi, viņa asinis top meklētas.
23 They did not realize that Joseph understood them, since there was an interpreter between them.
Un tie nezināja, ka Jāzeps to saprata, jo tur bija tulks viņu starpā.
24 And he turned away from them and wept. When he turned back and spoke to them, he took Simeon from them and had him bound before their eyes.
Un viņš no tiem novērsās un raudāja, un atkal pie tiem atgriezās un ar tiem runāja, un ņēma no viņu vidus Sīmeanu un to saistīja priekš viņu acīm.
25 Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, to return each man’s silver to his sack, and to give them provisions for their journey. This order was carried out,
Un Jāzeps pavēlēja viņu maisus pildīt ar labību un viņu naudu atlikt ikkatram savā maisā, un tiem dot ceļa barību uz ceļu; un tiem tā tapa darīts.
26 and they loaded the grain on their donkeys and departed.
Un tie uzkrāva savu labību uz saviem ēzeļiem un aizgāja no turienes.
27 At the place where they lodged for the night, one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver in the mouth of the sack.
Kad nu viens no tiem savu maisu atraisīja, savu ēzeli barot mājas vietā, tad tas ieraudzīja savu naudu, un redzi, tā bija viņa maisa virsgalā.
28 “My silver has been returned!” he said to his brothers. “It is here in my sack.” Their hearts sank, and trembling, they turned to one another and said, “What is this that God has done to us?”
Un tas sacīja uz saviem brāļiem: mana nauda man ir atlikta, un redzi, tā ir manā maisā. Tad tiem sirds iztrūkās un tie pārbijās viens uz otru sacīdami: kas tas ir, ko Dievs mums ir darījis?
29 When they reached their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they described to him all that had happened to them:
Un tie nāca pie Jēkaba, sava tēva, uz Kanaāna zemi un teica tam visu, kas tiem bija noticis, un sacīja:
30 “The man who is lord of the land spoke harshly to us and accused us of spying on the country.
Tas vīrs, tas zemes kungs, runāja bargi ar mums un mūs turēja par zemes izlūkiem.
31 But we told him, ‘We are honest men, not spies.
Tad mēs tam sacījām: mēs esam taisni ļaudis, mēs neesam izlūki bijuši.
32 We are twelve brothers, sons of one father. One is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.’
Mēs bijām divpadsmit brāļi, sava tēva dēli, viena vairs nav, un tas jaunākais vēl šodien ir pie mūsu tēva Kanaāna zemē.
33 Then the man who is lord of the land said to us, ‘This is how I will know whether you are honest: Leave one brother with me, take food to relieve the hunger of your households, and go.
Un tas vīrs, tas zemes kungs, mums sacīja: pie tam es nomanīšu, jūs esam taisnus: pametiet vienu no saviem brāļiem pie manis un ņemiet, ko jums vajag, un noejat,
34 But bring your youngest brother back to me so I will know that you are not spies but honest men. Then I will give your brother back to you, and you can trade in the land.’”
Un atvediet savu jaunāko brāli pie manis, tad es manīšu, jūs neesam izlūkus, bet taisnus ļaudis. Jūsu brāli es jums atdošu un jums ļaušu šinī zemē pirkt un pārdot.
35 As they began emptying their sacks, there in each man’s sack was his bag of silver! And when they and their father saw the bags of silver, they were dismayed.
Un kad tie savus maisus izbēra, redzi, tad ikviens atrada savu naudas mučkuli(maisiņu) savā maisā, un tie ieraudzīja savus naudas mučkuļus, viņi un viņu tēvs, un tie izbijās.
36 Their father Jacob said to them, “You have deprived me of my sons. Joseph is gone and Simeon is no more. Now you want to take Benjamin. Everything is going against me!”
Tad Jēkabs, viņu tēvs, uz tiem sacīja: jūs man paņemat manus bērnus: Jāzepa vairs nav un Sīmeana vairs nav, un Benjaminu jūs ņemsiet; viss tas nāk man virsū.
37 Then Reuben said to his father, “You may kill my two sons if I fail to bring him back to you. Put him in my care, and I will return him.”
Tad Rūbens runāja ar savu tēvu un sacīja: ja es to pie tevis neatvedīšu atpakaļ, tad nokauj manus divus dēlus; dod viņu manā rokā, tad es viņu pie tevis atvedīšu atpakaļ.
38 But Jacob replied, “My son will not go down there with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If any harm comes to him on your journey, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.” (Sheol h7585)
Bet viņš sacīja: manam dēlam nebūs noiet ar jums, jo viņa brālis ir miris, un tas ir viens pats atlicis. Ja tam kāda nelaime notiks uz ceļa, kur jūs iesiet, tad jūs manus sirmos matus ar sirdēstiem novedīsiet bedrē. (Sheol h7585)
