Genesis 44
1 And he commanded him who was over his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry; and put every man's money in the mouth of his sack.
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, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain-money. And he did according to the word of Joseph which he had spoken.
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 In the morning, when it was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
Takoj, ko je bila zjutraj svetloba, so bili možje odposlani, oni in njihovi osli.
4 They were gone out of the city, [and] not [yet] far off, when Joseph said to him who was over his house, Up! follow after the men; and when thou overtakest them, thou shalt say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil 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 [it] in which my lord drinks, and in which indeed he divines? Ye have done evil [in] what ye have done.
Mar ni to tisto iz česar moj gospod pije in s čimer zares vedežuje? S takšnim dejanjem ste storili zlo.‹«
6 And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these words.
Ta jih je dohitel in jim spregovoril te iste besede.
7 And they said to him, Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from thy 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 Behold, the money that we found in our sacks' mouths we have brought again to thee from the land of Canaan; and how should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
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 With whomsoever of thy servants it is found, let him die; and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
Pri komerkoli izmed tvojih služabnikov bi bilo to najdeno, naj umre, mi pa bomo tudi sužnji mojemu gospodu.«
10 And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according to your words: let him with whom it is found be my bondman, but ye shall be blameless.
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 And they hasted and laid down every man his sack on the ground, and opened every man his sack.
Potem so naglo sneli vsak mož svojo vrečo k tlom in vsak mož je svojo vrečo odprl.
12 And he searched carefully: he began at the eldest, and ended at the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
On pa je iskal in začel pri najstarejšem in nehal pri najmlajšem in čaša je bila najdena v Benjaminovi vreči.
13 Then they rent their clothes, and loaded every man his ass, and they returned to the city.
Potem so raztrgali svoja oblačila in vsak človek je otovoril svojega osla in vrnili so se v mesto.
14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; and he was still there; and they fell down before him to the ground.
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 to them, What deed is this which ye have done? Did ye not know that such a man as I can certainly divine?
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 shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak, and how justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found.
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 And he said, Far be it from me to do so! The man in whose hand the cup has been found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.
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 to him, and said, Ah! my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant; for thou art even as Pharaoh.
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 asked his servants, saying, Have ye 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 aged father, and a child born to him in his old age, [yet] young; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.
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 thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set mine eye on 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, The youth cannot leave his father: if he should leave his father, [his father] would die.
Mi pa smo mojemu gospodu rekli: ›Deček ne more zapustiti svojega očeta, kajti če bi zapustil svojega očeta, bi njegov oče umrl.‹
23 And thou saidst to thy servants, Unless your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
Svojim služabnikom si rekel: ›Razen če pride dol z vami vaš najmlajši brat, ne boste več videli mojega obraza.‹
24 And it came to pass when we came up to thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
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, buy us a little food.
Naš oče je rekel: ›Pojdite ponovno in nam kupite malo hrane.‹
26 But we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is 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 thy servant my father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two [sons];
Tvoj služabnik, moj oče, nam je rekel: ›Vi veste, da mi je žena rodila dva sinova.
28 and the one went out from me, and I said, He must certainly have been torn in pieces; and I have not seen him [again] hitherto.
Eden je odšel od mene in rekel sem: ›Zagotovo je raztrgan na koščke‹ in od takrat ga nisem videl.
29 And if ye take this one also from me, and mischief should befall him, ye will bring down my grey hairs with misery to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Če tudi tega vzamete od mene in ga zadene nesreča, boste moje sive lase z bridkostjo privedli do groba.‹ (Sheol h7585)
30 And now, when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us, — seeing that his life is bound up with his life,
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 it will come to pass when he sees that the lad is not [there], that he will die; and thy servants will bring down the grey hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. (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 thy servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, then I shall be guilty toward my father all my days.
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 And now, let thy servant stay, I pray thee, instead of the lad a bondman to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brethren;
Zdaj torej, prosim te, naj tvoj služabnik ostane namesto dečka suženj mojemu gospodu, deček pa naj gre gor s svojimi brati.
34 for how should I go up to my father if the lad were not with me? — lest I see the evil that would 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.«
