< Genesis 43 >

1 And the famine was grievous in the land.
Un bads bija grūts tanī zemē.
2 And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again, buy us a little food.
Un kad tā labība, ko tie no Ēģiptes bija atveduši, jau bija izlietojuši, tad viņu tēvs uz tiem sacīja: noejat atkal un pērciet mums maizes kādu mazumu.
3 And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man did positively testify to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you.
Un Jūda uz to runāja un sacīja: tas vīrs mums stipri piekodinājis un sacījis: jūs manu vaigu neredzēsiet, ja jūsu brālis nav jums līdz.
4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food;
Ja tad tu mūsu brāli mums sūtīsi līdz, tad mēs gribam noiet un pirkt maizes priekš tevis.
5 but if thou do not send [him], we will not go down, for the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you.
Bet ja tu to nesūtīsi, tad mēs nenoiesim, jo tas vīrs mums ir sacījis: jums nebūs manu vaigu redzēt, ja jūsu jaunākais brālis jums nav līdz.
6 And Israel said, Why did ye deal [so] ill with me [as] to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
Tad Israēls sacīja: kāpēc jūs man tik ļauni esat darījuši, tam vīram sacīdami, ka jums vēl viens brālis esot?
7 And they said, The man asked very closely after us, and after our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye a brother? And we told him according to the tenor of these words. Could we at all know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
Un tie sacīja: tas vīrs jautāja jautādams pēc mums un pēc mūsu radiem un sacīja: vai jūsu tēvs vēl dzīvs? Vai jums vēl viens brālis? Tad mēs viņam atbildējām, kā viņš mums jautāja; kā tad mēs to varējām zināt, ka tas sacīs: vediet savu brāli šurp?
8 And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live, and not die, both we and thou and our little ones.
Tad Jūda sacīja uz Israēli, savu tēvu: sūti to zēnu man līdz, tad mēs celsimies un noiesim, lai dzīvojam un nemirstam, ne mēs, ne tu pats, ne mūsu bērniņi.
9 I will be surety for him: of my hand shalt thou require him; if I bring him not to thee, and set him before thy face, then shall I be guilty toward thee for ever.
Es galvoju par viņu, no manas rokas tev būs viņu prasīt; ja es to pie tevis nevedīšu atpakaļ un to nestādīšu priekš tavām acīm, tad es visu savu mūžu gribu noziedzīgs būt tavā priekšā.
10 For had we not lingered, we should now certainly have returned already twice.
Jo ja mēs nebūtu kavējušies, mēs tagad jau otru reizi būtu pārnākuši.
11 And their father Israel said to them, If it is then so, do this: take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a gift: a little balsam and a little honey, tragacanth and ladanum, pistacia-nuts and almonds.
Tad viņu tēvs Israēls uz tiem sacīja: ja tam nu tā būs būt, tad dariet tā: ņemiet no šās zemes visteicamiem augļiem savos traukos un nonesiet tam vīram dāvanu, balzama kādu mazumu un kādu mazumu medus, dārgas zāles un mirres, riekstus un mandeles.
12 And take other money in your hand, and the money that was returned to you in the mouth of your sacks, carry back in your hand: perhaps it is an oversight.
Ņemiet arīdzan otrtik naudas savā rokā, un to naudu, kas jūsu maisu virsgalā atlikta, nesiet atpakaļ savā rokā, tiem jau tur būs misējies.
13 And take your brother, and arise, go again to the man.
Ņemiet arī savu brāli un ceļaties un ejat atkal pie tā vīra.
14 And the Almighty God give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother and Benjamin! And I, if I be bereaved of children, am bereaved.
Bet tas visuvarenais Dievs lai jums dod žēlastību tā vīra priekšā, ka tas atlaiž jūsu otru brāli un Benjaminu. Bet es esmu tā kā kam bērni rautin atrauti.
15 And the men took that gift, and took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and came before Joseph.
Tad tie vīri ņēma to dāvanu, un ņēma otrtik naudas savā rokā un Benjaminu, un cēlās un nogāja uz Ēģiptes zemi un stājās Jāzepa priekšā.
16 And Joseph saw Benjamin with them, and said to the [man] who was over his house, Bring the men into the house, and slaughter cattle, and make ready; for the men shall eat with me at noon.
Kad nu Jāzeps Benjaminu pie tiem ieraudzīja, tad viņš sacīja tam, kas bija pār viņa namu: ieved tos vīrus namā un nokauj kādu kaujamu lopu un taisi ēdienu, jo tie vīri pie manis ēdīs pusdienu.
17 And the man did as Joseph had said; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
Un tas vīrs darīja, kā Jāzeps bija sacījis, un tas vīrs ieveda tos vīrus Jāzepa namā.
18 And the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house, and said, Because of the money that was returned to us in our sacks at the beginning are we brought in, that he may turn against us, and fall upon us and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
Tad tie vīri bijās, kad tos veda Jāzepa namā, un sacīja: tās naudas dēļ, ko viņu reiz' atdabūjām savos maisos, mēs esam ievesti, lai viņš mums var uzbrukt un mums uzmākties un mūs par vergiem ņemt un mūsu ēzeļus.
19 And they came up to the man that was over Joseph's house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,
Tad tie piegāja pie tā vīra, kas bija pār Jāzepa namu, un runāja ar to priekš nama durvīm
20 and said, Ah! my lord, we came indeed down at the first to buy food.
Un sacīja: ak mans kungs, mums viņu reiz' bija jānāk, labības pirkt.
21 And it came to pass when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and behold, [every] man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money according to its weight; and we have brought it again in our hand.
Un kad bijām nākuši mājas vietā un atraisījām savus maisus, redzi, tad ikvienam tā nauda bija viņa maisa virsgalā ar pilnu svaru, un mēs to esam atkal atnesuši savā rokā.
22 And other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.
Mēs arī esam atnesuši citu naudu savā rokā, maizes pirkt, mēs nezinām, kas mūsu naudu mūsu maisos ielicis.
23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; your money came to me. And he brought Simeon out to them.
Un tas sacīja: esiet ar mieru, nebīstaties! Jūsu Dievs un jūsu tēva Dievs jums devis jūsu maisos apslēptu mantu; jūsu nauda man rokā tikusi. Un viņš izveda Sīmeanu pie tiem ārā.
24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses food.
Pēc viņš tos vīrus ieveda Jāzepa namā un tiem deva ūdeni, un tie mazgāja savas kājas; un viņš deva viņu ēzeļiem ēdamo.
25 And they made ready the gift for Joseph's coming at noon; for they had heard that they should eat bread there.
Un tie sataisīja to dāvanu, tiekams Jāzeps nāca uz pusdienu; jo tie bija dzirdējuši, ka tiem tur bija maizi ēst.
26 When Joseph came home, they brought him the gift that was in their hand, into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
Kad nu Jāzeps nāca namā, tad tie viņam namā atnesa to dāvanu, kas bija viņu rokās, un metās viņa priekšā pie zemes.
27 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well — the old man of whom ye spoke? Is he yet alive?
Un viņš jautāja, kā tiem klājās, un sacīja: kā klājās jūsu vecajam tēvam, par ko jūs stāstījāt? Vai viņš vēl dzīvs?
28 And they said, Thy servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And they bowed, and made obeisance.
Un tie sacīja: tavam kalpam, mūsu tēvam, labi klājās, viņš vēl dzīvs; un tie noliecās un klanījās.
29 And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother of whom ye spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to thee, my son!
Un viņš pacēla savas acis un ieraudzīja savu brāli Benjaminu, savas mātes dēlu, un sacīja: vai šis ir jūsu jaunākais brālis, par ko man stāstījāt? Un viņš sacīja: Dievs lai tev žēlīgs, mans dēls!
30 And Joseph made haste, for his bowels burned for his brother; and he sought [a place] to weep, and he went into the chamber, and wept there.
Un Jāzeps steidzās, jo viņa sirds iesila uz savu brāli, un viņš meklēja, kur raudāt, un iegāja kambarī un tur raudāja.
31 And he washed his face, and came out, and controlled himself, and said, Set on bread.
Un viņš mazgāja savu vaigu un nāca ārā un savaldījās un sacīja: celiet maizi priekšā.
32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Un tie cēla priekšā viņam (at)sevišķi un viņiem (at)sevišķi, un tiem ēģiptiešiem (at)sevišķi, kas pie viņa ēda, jo ēģiptieši ar Ebrejiem nevar maizi ēst, jo ēģiptiešiem tā ir negantība.
33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth; and the men marvelled one at another.
Un tie sēdēja viņam pretī, tas pirmdzimtais pēc savas pirmdzimtības, un tas jaunākais pēc savas jaunības.
34 And he had portions carried to them from before him. And Benjamin's portion was five times greater than the portions of them all. And they drank, and made merry with him.
Par to tie vīri brīnījās savā starpā, un viņš cēla tiem priekšā goda daļas no sava galda, bet Benjamina daļu viņš pieckārtīgi vairoja pār visu citu daļām; un tie dzēra un padzērās ar viņu.
