Genesis 43
1 But the famine prevailed in the land.
Али глад беше врло велика у оној земљи.
2 And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again; buy us a little food.
Па кад поједоше жито које беху донели из Мисира, рече им отац: Идите опет, и купите нам мало хране.
3 And Judas spoke to him, saying, The man, the lord of the country, positively testified to us, saying, You shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.
А Јуда му проговори и рече: Тврдо нам се зарекао онај човек говорећи: Нећете видети лице моје, ако не буде с вама брат ваш.
4 If, then, you send our brother with us, we will go down, and buy you food;
Ако ћеш пустити с нама брата нашег, ићи ћемо и купићемо ти хране.
5 but if you send not our brother with us, we will not go: for the man spoke to us, saying, You shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.
Ако ли нећеш пустити, нећемо ићи, јер нам је рекао онај човек: Нећете видети лице моје, ако не буде с вама брат ваш.
6 And Israel said, Why did you harm me, inasmuch as you told the man that you had a brother?
А Израиљ рече: Што ми то зло учинисте и казасте човеку да имате још једног брата?
7 And they said, The man closely questioned us about our family also, saying, Does your father yet live, and have you a brother? and we answered him according to this question: did we know that he would say to us, Bring your brother?
А они рекоше: Човек је потанко распитивао за нас и за род наш говорећи: Је ли вам јоште жив отац? Имате ли још браће? А ми му одговорисмо како нас питаше. Јесмо ли могли како знати да ће казати: Доведите брата свог?
8 And Judas said to his father Israel, Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you, and our store.
И рече Јуда Израиљу оцу свом: Пусти дете са мном, па ћемо се подигнути и отићи, да останемо живи и не помремо и ми и ти и наша деца.
9 And I engage for him; at my hand do you require him; if I bring him not to you, and place him before you, I shall be guilty towards you for ever.
Ја ти се јамчим за њ, из моје га руке ишти; ако ти га не доведем натраг и преда те не ставим, да сам ти крив до века.
10 For if we had not tarried, we should now have returned twice.
Да нисмо толико оклевали, до сада бисмо се два пута вратили.
11 And Israel, their father, said to them, If it be so, do this; take of the fruits of the earth in your vessels, and carry down to the man presents of gum and honey, and frankincense, and stacte, and turpentine, and walnuts.
Онда рече Израиљ отац њихов: Кад је тако, учините ово: узмите шта најлепше има у овој земљи у своје вреће, и понесите човеку оном дар: мало тамјана и мало меда, мирисавог корења и смирне, урме и бадема.
12 And take double money in your hands, and the money that was returned in your sacks, carry back with you, lest perhaps it is a mistake.
А новаца понесите двојином, и узмите новце што беху озго у врећама вашим и однесите натраг, може бити да је погрешка.
13 And take your brother; and arise, go down to the man.
И узмите брата свог, па устаните и идите опет к оном човеку.
14 And my God give you favour in the sight of the man, and send away your other brother, and Benjamin, for I accordingly as I have been bereaved, am bereaved.
А Бог Свемогући да вам да да нађете милост у оног човека, да вам пусти брата вашег другог и Венијамина; ако ли останем без деце, нек останем без деце.
15 And the men having taken these presents, and the double money, took in their hands also Benjamin; and they rose up and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
Тада узевши даре и новаца двојином, узевши и Венијамина, подигоше се и отидоше у Мисир, и изађоше пред Јосифа.
16 And Joseph saw them and his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said to the steward of his household, Bring the men into the house, and kill beasts and make ready, for the men are to eat bread with me at noon.
А Јосиф кад виде с њима Венијамина, рече човеку који управљаше кућом његовом: Одведи ове људе у кућу, па накољи меса и зготови, јер ће у подне са мном јести ови људи.
17 And the man did as Joseph said; and he brought the men into the house of Joseph.
И учини човек како Јосиф рече, и уведе људе у кућу Јосифову.
18 And the men, when they perceived that they were brought into the house of Joseph, said, We are brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first; even in order to inform against us, and lay it to our charge; to take us for servants, and our asses.
А они се бојаху кад их човек вођаше у кућу Јосифову, и рекоше: За новце који пре беху метнути у вреће наше води нас, докле смисли како ће нас окривити, да нас зароби и узме наше магарце.
19 And having approached the man who was over the house of Joseph, they spoke to him in the porch of the house,
Па приступивши к човеку који управљаше кућом Јосифовом, проговорише му на вратима кућним,
20 saying, We pray [you], Sir; we came down at first to buy food.
И рекоше: Чуј, господару; дошли смо били и пре, и куписмо хране;
21 And it came to pass, when we came to unlade, and opened our sacks, [there was] also this money of each in his sack; we have now brought back our money by weight in our hands.
Па кад дођосмо у једну гостионицу и отворисмо вреће, а то новци сваког нас беху озго у врећи његовој, новци наши на меру; и ево смо их донели натраг;
22 And we have brought other money with us to buy food; we know not who put the money into our sacks.
А друге смо новце донели да купимо хране; не знамо ко нам метну новце наше у вреће.
23 And he said to them, [God deal] mercifully with you; be not afraid; your God, and the God of your fathers, has given you treasures in your sacks, and I have enough of your good money. And he brought Symeon out to them.
А он им рече: Будите мирни, не бојте се; Бог ваш и Бог оца вашег метнуо је благо у вреће ваше; новци су ваши били у мене. И изведе им Симеуна.
24 And he brought water to wash their feet; and gave provender to their asses.
И уведе их човек у кућу Јосифову, и донесе им воде те опраше ноге, и магарцима њиховим положи.
25 And they prepared their gifts, until Joseph came at noon, for they heard that he was going to dine there.
И приправише дар чекајући докле дође Јосиф у подне, јер чуше да ће они онде јести.
26 And Joseph entered into the house, and they brought him the gifts which they had in their hands, into the house; and they did him reverence with their face to the ground.
И кад Јосиф дође кући, изнесоше му дар који имаху код себе, и поклонише му се до земље.
27 And he asked them, How are you? and he said to them, Is your father, the old man of whom you spoke, well? Does he yet live?
А он их запита како су, и рече: Како је отац ваш стари, за кога ми говористе? Је ли јоште жив?
28 And they said, Your servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And he said, Blessed be that man by God; —and they bowed, and did him reverence.
А они рекоше: Добро је слуга твој, отац наш; још је жив. И поклонише му се.
29 And Joseph lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said, Is this your younger brother, whom you spoke of bringing to me? and he said, God have mercy on you, my son.
А он погледавши виде Венијамина брата свог, сина матере своје, и рече: Је ли вам то најмлађи брат ваш за ког ми говористе? И рече: Бог да ти буде милостив, синко!
30 And Joseph was troubled, for his bowels yearned over his brother, and he sought to weep; and he went into his chamber, and wept there.
А Јосифу гораше срце од љубави према брату свом, те брже потражи где ће плакати, и ушавши у једну собу плака онде.
31 And he washed his face and came out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
После умив се изађе, и устежући се рече: Дајте јело.
32 And they set on [bread] for him alone, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians feasting with him by themselves, for the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for it is an abomination to the Egyptians.
И донесоше њему најпосле и Мисирцима који обедоваху у њега, јер не могаху Мисирци јести с Јеврејима, јер је то нечисто Мисирцима.
33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his seniority, and the younger according to his youth; and the men looked with amazement every one at his brother.
А сеђаху пред њим старији по старештву свом а млађи по младости својој. И згледаху се од чуда.
34 And they took their portions from him to themselves; but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as the portions of [the others]. And they drank and were filled with drink with him.
И узимајући јела испред себе слаше њима, и Венијамину допаде пет пута више него другима. И пише и напише се с њим.
