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;
Oskrbniku svoje hiše je zapovedal, rekoč: »Vreče mož napolni s hrano, kolikor lahko nesejo in denar vsakega človeka položi v ustje njegove vreče.
2 And put my cup, my silver cup, in the youngest one's bag, with his money. So he did as Joseph said.
Mojo čašo pa, srebrno čašo, položi v ustje vreče najmlajšega in njegov žitni denar.« Ta je storil glede na besedo, ki jo je Jožef spregovoril.
3 And at dawn the men, with their asses, were sent away.
Takoj, ko je bila zjutraj svetloba, so bili možje odposlani, oni in njihovi osli.
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?
Ko so odšli ven iz mesta in še ne daleč proč, je Jožef rekel svojemu oskrbniku: »Vstani, sledi možem in ko jih boš dohitel, jim reci: ›Zakaj ste zlo nagradili 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.
Mar ni to tisto iz česar moj gospod pije in s čimer zares vedežuje? S takšnim dejanjem ste storili zlo.‹«
6 So he overtook them and said these words to them.
Ta jih je dohitel in jim spregovoril te iste besede.
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:
Rekli so mu: »Zakaj moj gospod govori te besede? Bog ne daj, da bi tvoji služabniki storili glede na to stvar.
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?
Glej, denar, ki smo ga našli v ustjih svojih vreč, smo iz kánaanske dežele ponovno prinesli k tebi, kako bi potem ukradli srebro ali zlato iz hiše tvojega gospodarja?
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.
Pri komerkoli izmed tvojih služabnikov bi bilo to najdeno, naj umre, mi pa bomo tudi sužnji mojemu gospodu.«
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.
Rekel je: » Naj bo sedaj tudi to glede na vaše besede. Ta, pri komer bo to najdeno, bo moj služabnik, vi pa boste brez krivde.«
11 Then every man quickly got his bag down and undid it.
Potem so naglo sneli vsak mož svojo vrečo k tlom in vsak mož je svojo vrečo odprl.
12 And he made a search, starting with the oldest and ending with the youngest; and the cup was in Benjamin's bag.
On pa je iskal in začel pri najstarejšem in nehal pri najmlajšem in čaša je bila najdena v Benjaminovi vreči.
13 Then in bitter grief they put the bags on the asses again and went back to the town.
Potem so raztrgali svoja oblačila in vsak človek je otovoril svojega osla in vrnili so se v mesto.
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.
Juda in njegovi bratje so prišli v Jožefovo hišo, kajti še je bil tam in padli so pred njim na tla.
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?
Jožef jim je rekel: »Kakšno dejanje je to, kar ste storili? Ali ne veste, da tak mož, kakor jaz, lahko zagotovo vedežuje?«
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.
Juda je rekel: »Kaj bomo rekli mojemu gospodu? Kaj naj govorimo? Ali kako se bomo očistili? Bog je odkril krivičnost svojih služabnikov. Glej, mi smo gospodovi služabniki, tako mi, kakor tudi ta, pri komer se je našla čaša.«
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.
Rekel je: »Bog ne daj, da bi tako storil. Temveč človek, v čigar roki je najdena čaša, bo moj služabnik. Kar pa se tiče vas, se v miru dvignite k svojemu očetu.«
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.
Potem se mu je približal Juda in rekel: »Oh, moj gospod, naj tvoj služabnik, prosim te, spregovori besedo v ušesa mojega gospoda in naj tvoja jeza ne gori zoper tvojega služabnika, kajti ti si celo kakor faraon.
19 My lord said to his servants, Have you a father or a brother?
Moj gospod je svoje služabnike vprašal, rekoč: ›Imate očeta ali 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.
In mi smo mojemu gospodu rekli: ›Imamo očeta, starca in otroka njegove visoke starosti, malčka. Njegov brat je mrtev in on je sam ostal od svoje matere in njegov oče ga ljubi.‹
21 And you said to your servants, Let him come down to me with you, so that I may see him.
Ti pa si rekel svojim služabnikom: ›Privedite ga dol k meni, da lahko svoje oči usmerim nanj.‹
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.
Mi pa smo mojemu gospodu rekli: ›Deček ne more zapustiti svojega očeta, kajti če bi zapustil svojega očeta, bi njegov oče umrl.‹
23 But you said to your servants, If your youngest brother does not come with you, you will not see my face again.
Svojim služabnikom si rekel: ›Razen če pride dol z vami vaš najmlajši brat, ne boste več videli mojega obraza.‹
24 And when we went back to your servant, our father, we gave him an account of my lord's words.
Pripetilo se je, ko smo prišli gor k tvojemu služabniku, mojemu očetu, da smo mu povedali besede mojega gospoda.
25 And our father said, Go again and get us a little food.
Naš oče je rekel: ›Pojdite ponovno in nam kupite 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.
Mi pa smo rekli: ›Ne moremo iti dol. Če bo z nami naš najmlajši brat, potem bomo šli dol, kajti ne smemo videti moževega obraza, razen če bo z nami naš najmlajši brat.‹
27 And our father said to us, You have knowledge that my wife gave me two sons;
Tvoj služabnik, moj oče, nam je rekel: ›Vi veste, da mi je žena rodila dva sinova.
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,
Eden je odšel od mene in rekel sem: ›Zagotovo je raztrgan na koščke‹ in od takrat ga nisem videl.
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)
Če tudi tega vzamete od mene in ga zadene nesreča, boste moje sive lase z bridkostjo privedli do groba.‹ (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,
Zdaj torej, ko pridem k tvojemu služabniku, svojemu očetu in dečka ne bo z nami, glede na to, da je njegovo življenje vezano na življenje dečka,
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)
se bo zgodilo, ko bo videl, da dečka ni z nami, da bo umrl. Tvoji služabniki bodo sive lase tvojega služabnika, našega očeta, z bridkostjo privedli do groba. (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.
Kajti tvoj služabnik je postal pôrok za dečka mojemu očetu, rekoč: ›Če ga ne privedem k tebi, potem bom na veke prinašal krivdo svojemu očetu.‹
33 So now let me be my lord's servant here in place of the boy, and let him go back with his brothers.
Zdaj torej, prosim te, naj tvoj služabnik ostane namesto dečka suženj mojemu gospodu, deček pa naj gre gor s svojimi brati.
34 For how may I go back to my father without the boy, and see the evil which will come on my father?
Kajti kako bom šel k svojemu očetu, dečka pa ne bo z menoj? Da ne bi morda videl zla, ki bi prišlo na mojega očeta.«
