Genesis 44
1 Then Joseph instructed his steward: “Fill the men’s sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each one’s silver in the mouth of his sack.
I zapovjedi Josif èovjeku što upravljaše kuæom njegovom govoreæi: naspi ovijem ljudima u vreæe žita koliko mogu ponijeti, i svakome u vreæu metni ozgo novce njegove.
2 Put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one’s sack, along with the silver for his grain.” So the steward did as Joseph had instructed.
I èašu moju, èašu srebrnu, metni najmlaðemu u vreæu ozgo i novce za njegovo žito. I uèini kako mu Josif reèe.
3 At daybreak, the men were sent on their way with their donkeys.
A ujutru kad svanu, otpustiše ljude s magarcima njihovijem.
4 They had not gone far from the city when Joseph told his steward, “Pursue the men at once, and when you overtake them, ask, ‘Why have you repaid good with evil?
A kad izaðoše iz mjesta i još ne bijahu daleko, reèe Josif èovjeku što upravljaše kuæom njegovom: ustani, idi brže za onijem ljudima, i kad ih stigneš reci im: zašto vraæate zlo za dobro?
5 Is this not the cup my master drinks from and uses for divination? What you have done is wicked!’”
Nije li to èaša iz koje pije moj gospodar? i neæe li po njoj zacijelo poznati kakvi ste? zlo ste radili što ste to uèinili.
6 When the steward overtook them, he relayed these words to them.
I on ih stiže, i reèe im tako.
7 “Why does my lord say these things?” they asked. “Your servants could not possibly do such a thing.
A oni mu rekoše: zašto govoriš, gospodaru, take rijeèi? Saèuvaj Bože da sluge tvoje uèine tako što!
8 We even brought back to you from the land of Canaan the silver we found in the mouths of our sacks. Why would we steal silver or gold from your master’s house?
Eno smo ti donijeli natrag iz zemlje Hananske novce koje naðosmo ozgo u vreæama svojim, pa kako bismo ukrali iz kuæe gospodara tvojega srebro ili zlato?
9 If any of your servants is found to have it, he must die, and the rest will become slaves of my lord.”
U kojega se izmeðu sluga tvojih naðe, onaj neka pogine, i svrh toga mi æemo biti robovi gospodaru mojemu.
10 “As you say,” replied the steward. “But only the one who is found with the cup will be my slave, and the rest of you shall be free of blame.”
A on reèe: neka bude kako rekoste; ali u koga se naðe, onaj da mi bude rob, a vi ostali neæete biti krivi.
11 So each one quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it.
I brže poskidaše svi na zemlju vreæe svoje, i razdriješiše svaki svoju vreæu.
12 The steward searched, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest—and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
A on stade tražiti poèev od najstarijega, i kad doðe na najmlaðega, naðe se èaša u vreæi Venijaminovoj.
13 Then they all tore their clothes, loaded their donkeys, and returned to the city.
Tada razdriješe haljine svoje, i natovarivši svaki svoj tovar na svojega magarca vratiše se u grad.
14 When Judah and his brothers arrived at Joseph’s house, he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.
I doðe Juda s braæom svojom Josifu u kuæu, dok on još bijaše kod kuæe, i padoše pred njim na zemlju.
15 “What is this deed you have done?” Joseph declared. “Do you not know that a man like me can surely divine the truth?”
A Josif im reèe: šta ste to uèinili? zar nijeste znali da èovjek kao što sam ja može zacijelo doznati?
16 “What can we say to my lord?” Judah replied. “How can we plead? How can we justify ourselves? God has exposed the iniquity of your servants. We are now my lord’s slaves—both we and the one who was found with the cup.”
Tada reèe Juda: šta da ti reèemo, gospodaru? šta da govorimo? kako li da se pravdamo? Bog je otkrio zloèinstvo tvojih sluga. Evo, mi smo svi robovi tvoji, gospodaru, i mi i ovaj u koga se našla èaša.
17 But Joseph replied, “Far be it from me to do this. The man who was found with the cup will be my slave. The rest of you may return to your father in peace.”
A Josif reèe: Bože saèuvaj! neæu ja to; u koga se našla èaša on neka mi bude rob, a vi idite s mirom ocu svojemu.
18 Then Judah approached Joseph and said, “Sir, please let your servant speak personally to my lord. Do not be angry with your servant, for you are equal to Pharaoh himself.
Ali Juda pristupiv k njemu reèe: èuj me, gospodaru; dopusti da progovori sluga tvoj gospodaru svojemu, i neka se gnjev tvoj ne raspali na slugu tvojega, jer si ti kao sam Faraon.
19 My lord asked his servants, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’
Gospodar moj zapita sluge svoje govoreæi: imate li oca ili brata?
20 And we answered, ‘We have an elderly father and a younger brother, the child of his old age. The boy’s brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother’s sons left, and his father loves him.’
A mi rekosmo gospodaru svojemu: imamo stara oca i brata najmlaðega, koji mu se rodi u starosti; a njegov je brat umro, i on osta sam od matere svoje, i otac ga pazi.
21 Then you told your servants, ‘Bring him down to me so that I can see him for myself.’
A ti reèe slugama svojim: dovedite mi ga da ga vidim svojim oèima.
22 So we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he were to leave, his father would die.’
I rekosmo gospodaru svojemu: neæe moæi dijete ostaviti oca svojega; da ostavi oca svojega, odmah æe otac umrijeti.
23 But you said to your servants, ‘Unless your younger brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.’
A ti reèe slugama svojim: ako ne doðe s vama brat vaš najmlaði, neæete više vidjeti lica mojega.
24 Now when we returned to your servant my father, we relayed your words to him.
A kad se vratismo k sluzi tvojemu a ocu mojemu, kazasmo mu rijeèi gospodara mojega.
25 Then our father said, ‘Go back and buy us some food.’
Poslije reèe nam otac: idite opet, kupite nam hrane.
26 But we answered, ‘We cannot go down there unless our younger brother goes with us. So if our younger brother is not with us, we cannot see the man.’
A mi rekosmo: ne možemo iæi, osim ako bude brat naš najmlaði s nama, onda æemo iæi, jer ne možemo vidjeti lica onoga èovjeka, ako ne bude s nama brat naš najmlaði.
27 And your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.
A sluga tvoj, otac moj, reèe nam: znate da mi je žena rodila dva sina.
28 When one of them was gone, I said: “Surely he has been torn to pieces.” And I have not seen him since.
I jedan od njih otide od mene, i rekoh: zacijelo ga je raskinula zvjerka; i do sada ga ne vidjeh.
29 Now if you also take this one from me and harm comes to him, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.’ (Sheol h7585)
Ako i ovoga odvedete od mene i zadesi ga kakvo zlo, svaliæete me stara u grob s tugom. (Sheol h7585)
30 So if the boy is not with us when I return to your servant, and if my father, whose life is wrapped up in the boy’s life,
Pa sada da otidem k sluzi tvojemu, ocu svojemu, a ovo dijete da ne bude s nama, kako je duša onoga vezana za dušu ovoga,
31 sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. Then your servants will have brought the gray hair of your servant our father down to Sheol in sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Umrijeæe kad vidi da nema djeteta, te æe sluge tvoje svaliti staroga slugu tvojega a oca svojega s tugom u grob. (Sheol h7585)
32 Indeed, your servant guaranteed the boy’s safety to my father, saying, ‘If I do not return him to you, I will bear the guilt before you, my father, all my life.’
A tvoj se sluga podjemèio za dijete ocu svojemu rekav: ako ti ga ne dovedem natrag, da sam kriv ocu svojemu dovijeka.
33 Now please let your servant stay here as my lord’s slave in place of the boy. Let him return with his brothers.
Zato neka sluga tvoj ostane mjesto djeteta da bude rob gospodaru mojemu a dijete neka ide s braæom svojom.
34 For how can I go back to my father without the boy? I could not bear to see the misery that would overwhelm him.”
Jer kako bih se vratio k ocu svojemu bez djeteta, da gledam jade koji bi mi oca zadesili?
