Genesis 44
1 Then he gave orders to the servant who was over his house, saying, Put as much food into the men's bags as will go into them, and put every man's money in the mouth of his bag;
Onda Josip naredi upravitelju svoga kućanstva: “Napuni vreće ovih ljudi hranom koliko mogu ponijeti, a novac svakog stavi u grlo njegove vreće.
2 And put my cup, my silver cup, in the youngest one's bag, with his money. So he did as Joseph said.
A moj pehar - onaj od srebra - stavi u grlo vreće najmlađega, zajedno s njegovim novcem za žito.” On učini kako mu je Josip naredio.
3 And at dawn the men, with their asses, were sent away.
Kad je svanulo, otpreme ljude i njihove magarce.
4 And when they had gone only a little way out of the town, Joseph said to the servant who was over his house, Go after them; and when you overtake them, say to them, Why have you done evil in reward for good?
Tek što su izišli iz grada - nisu bili odmakli daleko - kad Josip reče upravitelju svoga kućanstva: “Na noge! Pođi za onim ljudima! Kad ih stigneš, kaži im: 'Zašto uzvraćate zlo za dobro?
5 Is not this the cup from which my lord takes wine and by which he gets knowledge of the future? Truly, you have done evil.
Zar iz onog pehara ne pije moj gospodar i ne čita iz njega proricanje? Zlo ste učinili!'”
6 So he overtook them and said these words to them.
Stigavši ih, ponovi im te riječi.
7 And they said to him, Why does my lord say such words as these? far be it from your servants to do such a thing:
Oni odgovore: “Zašto nam gospodar govori tako? Daleko bilo od slugu tvojih da učine takvo što!
8 See, the money which was in the mouth of our bags we gave back to you when we came again from Canaan: how then might we take silver or gold from your lord's house?
Čak i novac koji smo našli u svojim vrećama donijeli smo ti natrag iz zemlje kanaanske. Kako bismo onda mogli ukrasti srebra ili zlata iz kuće tvoga gospodara!
9 If it comes to light that any of your servants has done this, let him be put to death, and we will be your lord's servants.
Onaj u koga se od tvojih slugu nađe, neka se usmrti, a mi drugi postat ćemo robovi tvome gospodaru.”
10 And he said, Let it be as you say: he in whose bag it is seen will become my servant; and you will not be responsible.
“Premda je ono što predlažeš pravo”, preuzme on, “ipak će samo onaj u koga se ukradeno pronađe biti moj rob, a ostali bit ćete slobodni.”
11 Then every man quickly got his bag down and undid it.
Brže spustiše vreće na zemlju i svaki svoju otvori.
12 And he made a search, starting with the oldest and ending with the youngest; and the cup was in Benjamin's bag.
On je pretraživao, počevši s najstarijim i završivši s najmlađim. Pehar se nađe u Benjaminovoj vreći.
13 Then in bitter grief they put the bags on the asses again and went back to the town.
Nato oni razdru svoje haljine; svaki ponovo natovari svoga magarca i vrate se u grad.
14 So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house; and he was still there: and they went down on their faces before him.
Kad su Juda i njegova braća ponovo stupili u Josipov dom, još je on bio ondje. Bace se preda nj na zemlju.
15 And Joseph said, What is this thing which you have done? had you no thought that such a man as I would have power to see what is secret?
Onda im Josip reče: “Kakvo je to djelo što ste ga učinili? Zar ne znate da se čovjek kao što sam ja bavi proricanjem?”
16 And Judah said, What are we to say to my lord? how may we put ourselves right in his eyes? God has made clear the sin of your servants: now we are in your hands, we and the man in whose bag your cup was seen.
Nato Juda odgovori: “Što bismo mogli reći svome gospodaru? Što možemo kazati, čime li se opravdati? Bog je otkrio zlodjelo tvojih slugu. Evo nas za robove svome gospodaru - jednako nas kao i onog u koga se našao pehar.”
17 Then he said, Far be it from me to do so: but the man who had my cup will be my servant; and you may go back to your father in peace.
“Daleko od mene da učinim tako!” - odgovori. “Nego, onaj u koga se našao pehar bit će moj rob, a vi drugi pođite mirno k svome ocu!”
18 Then Judah came near him, and said, Let your servant say a word in my lord's ears, and let not your wrath be burning against your servant: for you are in the place of Pharaoh to us.
Onda mu se Juda primače i reče: “Gospodaru moj, molim te, dopusti sluzi svojem da rekne riječ ušima gospodara svojega i neka se tvoja srdžba ne razlijeva na tvog slugu. TÓa ti si ravan faraonu.
19 My lord said to his servants, Have you a father or a brother?
Pitao je moj gospodar svoje sluge: 'Imate li oca ili još kojega brata?'
20 And we said to my lord, We have an old father and a young child, whom he had when he was old; his brother is dead and he is the only son of his mother, and is very dear to his father.
Svome smo gospodaru odgovorili: 'Imamo stara oca; on još ima jednog sina, rođena u njegovoj staračkoj dobi. Taj je najmlađi. Njegov je pravi brat umro, tako da je on jedini ostao od svoje majke. Njegov ga otac osobito voli.'
21 And you said to your servants, Let him come down to me with you, so that I may see him.
Potom si rekao svojim slugama: 'Dovedite mi ga ovamo da ga vide moje oči?'
22 And we said to my lord, His father will not let him go; for if he went away his father would come to his death.
A mi smo odgovorili svome gospodaru: 'Dječak ne može ostaviti oca; kad bi ga ostavio, njegov bi otac umro.'
23 But you said to your servants, If your youngest brother does not come with you, you will not see my face again.
Nato si rekao svojim slugama: 'Ako vaš najmlađi brat s vama ne dođe ovamo, više ne smijete preda me.'
24 And when we went back to your servant, our father, we gave him an account of my lord's words.
Kad smo se vratili tvome sluzi, ocu mome, kazali smo mu riječi moga gospodara.
25 And our father said, Go again and get us a little food.
Naš nam je otac rekao: 'Idite opet i nabavite nam malo hrane!'
26 And we said, Only if our youngest brother goes with us will we go down; for we may not see the man's face again if our youngest brother is not with us.
Odgovorili smo: 'Ne možemo onamo. Samo ako s nama pođe naš najmlađi brat, sići ćemo, jer ne smijemo pred onoga čovjeka ako ne bude s nama naš najmlađi brat.'
27 And our father said to us, You have knowledge that my wife gave me two sons;
Tvoj sluga, otac moj, odvrati nam: 'Kako znate, žena mi je rodila dva sina.
28 The one went away from me, and I said, Truly he has come to a violent death; and from that time I have not seen him,
Jedan je nestao, te sam zaključio: sigurno je rastrgan! Odonda ga više nisam vidio.
29 If now you take this one from me, and some evil comes to him, you will make my grey head go down in sorrow to the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
Ako i ovoga od mene odvedete pa ga kakva nesreća snađe, moju ćete sijedu glavu s tugom strovaliti dolje u Šeol.' (Sheol h7585)
30 If then I go back to your servant, my father, without the boy, because his life and the boy's life are one,
Ako sad dođem k tvome sluzi, ocu svome, a mladić - čiji je život tako povezan s njegovim - ne bude s nama,
31 When he sees that the boy is not with us, he will come to his death, and our father's grey head will go down in sorrow to the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
on će svisnuti kad vidi da dječaka nema s nama; tako će tvoje sluge strovaliti u tuzi sijedu glavu tvoga sluge, oca našega, dolje u Šeol. (Sheol h7585)
32 For I made myself responsible for the boy to my father, saying, If I do not give him safely back to you, let mine be the sin for ever.
Jer tvoj je sluga zajamčio ocu svome za dječaka, rekavši: 'Ako ti ga ne vratim, bit ću kriv svome ocu svega vijeka.'
33 So now let me be my lord's servant here in place of the boy, and let him go back with his brothers.
Zato, molim te, neka tvoj sluga ostane kao rob mome gospodaru, a dječak neka ide natrag s braćom.
34 For how may I go back to my father without the boy, and see the evil which will come on my father?
Jer, kako mogu k svome ocu ako dječaka nema sa mnom! Ne bih mogao gledati jad što bi snašao moga oca.”
