Genesis 44
1 Joseph ordered his household supervisor, “Fill the men's sacks with as much grain as they can hold and put each man's money at the top of his sack.
И заповеди Јосиф човеку што управљаше кућом његовом говорећи: Наспи овим људима у вреће жита колико могу понети, и свакоме у врећу метни озго новце његове.
2 Then put my special silver cup at the top of the sack of the youngest, along with the money for his grain.” He did as Joseph told him.
И чашу моју, чашу сребрну, метни најмлађем у врећу одозго и новце за његово жито. И учини како му Јосиф рече.
3 At sunrise they were sent on their way with their donkeys.
А ујутру кад свану, отпустише људе с магарцима њиховим.
4 They had hardly left the city when Joseph told his household supervisor, “Go after those men, and when you catch up with them, ask them, ‘Why have you paid back good with evil by stealing my master's silver cup?
А кад изађоше из места и још не беху далеко, рече Јосиф човеку што управљаше кућом његовом: Устани, иди брже за оним људима, и кад их стигнеш реци им: Зашто враћате зло за добро?
5 This is the cup he personally drinks from, and which he uses for divination. What you've done is really evil!’”
Није ли то чаша из које пије мој господар? И неће ли по њој зацело познати какви сте? Зло сте радили што сте то учинили.
6 When he caught up with them, he told them what Joseph had said.
И он их стиже, и рече им тако.
7 “My lord, what are you saying?” they replied. “We your servants wouldn't do anything like that!
А они му рекоше: Зашто говориш, господару, такве речи? Сачувај Боже да слуге твоје учине такво шта!
8 Remember that we brought back the money we found at the top of our sacks when we returned from Canaan. Why would we steal silver or gold from your master's house?
Ено смо ти донели натраг из земље хананске новце које нађосмо озго у врећама својим, па како бисмо украли из куће господара твог сребро или злато?
9 If any one of us is found with it, he shall die, and all of us will become your slaves.”
У ког се између слуга твојих нађе, онај нека погине, и сврх тога ми ћемо бити робови господару мом.
10 “Whatever you say,” the man replied, “but only the one found with it will become my slave since the rest of you will be free of any blame.”
А он рече: Нека буде како рекосте; али у кога се нађе, онај да ми буде роб, а ви остали нећете бити криви.
11 They all unloaded their sacks and put them on the ground. They each opened their own sacks.
И брже поскидаше сви на земљу вреће своје, и разрешише сваки своју врећу.
12 The household supervisor searched the sacks, beginning with the oldest and working his way down to the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
А он стаде тражити почевши од најстаријег, и кад дође на најмлађег, нађе се чаша у врећи Венијаминовој.
13 The brothers tore their clothes in grief. Then they loaded their sacks back on their donkeys and headed back to the city.
Тада раздреше хаљине своје, и натоваривши сваки свој товар на свог магарца вратише се у град.
14 Joseph was still at home when Judah and his brothers arrived, and they fell to the ground before him.
И дође Јуда с браћом својом Јосифу у кућу, док он још беше код куће, и падоше пред њим на земљу.
15 “Why did you do this?” Joseph asked. “Don't you know a man like me can find out things through divination?”
А Јосиф им рече: Шта сте то учинили? Зар нисте знали да човек као што сам ја може зацело дознати?
16 “My lord, what can we say?” Judah replied. “How can we explain this to you? In what way can we prove our innocence? God has exposed the guilt of your servants. My lord, we are your slaves—all of us, including the one who was found with the cup.”
Тада рече Јуда: Шта да ти кажемо, господару? Шта да говоримо? Како ли да се правдамо? Бог је открио злочинство твојих слуга. Ево, ми смо сви робови твоји, господару, и ми и овај у кога се нашла чаша.
17 “I wouldn't do anything like that!” Joseph replied. “Only the man who was found with the cup will become my slave. The rest of you are free to return to your father.”
А Јосиф рече: Боже сачувај! Нећу ја то; у кога се нашла чаша он нека ми буде роб, а ви идите с миром оцу свом.
18 Judah came closer and said to him, “If you please, my lord, let your servant just say a word. Please don't become angry with your servant, even though you are as powerful as Pharaoh himself.
Али Јуда приступив к њему рече: Чуј ме, господару; допусти да проговори слуга твој господару свом, и нека се гнев твој не распали на слугу твог, јер си ти као сам Фараон.
19 My lord, previously you asked us, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’
Господар мој запита слуге своје говорећи: Имате ли оца или брата?
20 We told you, my lord, ‘We have an elderly father, and a younger brother, born when our father was already old. The boy's brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother's children left, and his father loves him dearly.’
А ми рекосмо господару свом: Имамо старог оца и брата најмлађег, који му се роди у старости; а његов је брат умро, и он оста сам од матере своје, и отац га пази.
21 Then you ordered us, ‘Bring him here to me so I can see him.’
А ти рече слугама својим: Доведите ми га да видим својим очима.
22 We told you, ‘The boy can't leave his father; if he did, his father would die.’
И рекосмо господару свом: Неће моћи дете оставити оца свог; да остави оца свог, одмах ће отац умрети.
23 But you told us, ‘If your youngest brother doesn't come with you, you won't see me again.’
А ти рече слугама својим: Ако не дође брат ваш најмлађи, нећете видети лице моје.
24 So when we went back to your servant, our father, we explained to him everything you had told us.
А кад се вратисмо к слузи твом а оцу мом, казасмо му речи господара мог.
25 However, later on, our father told us, ‘Go back and buy some more food.’
После рече нам отац: Идите опет, купите нам хране.
26 But we said, ‘There's no way we can go back unless Benjamin our youngest brother goes with us, because we won't be able to see the man if Benjamin isn't with us.’
А ми рекосмо: Не можемо ићи, осим ако буде брат наш најмлађи с нама, онда ћемо ићи, јер не можемо видети лица оног човека, ако не буде с нама брат наш најмлађи.
27 Then my father said to us, ‘You realize that my wife had two sons for me.
А слуга твој, отац мој, рече нам: Знате да ми је жена родила два сина.
28 One is no more, ripped to pieces no doubt, for I've never seen him since.
И један од њих отиде од мене, и рекох: Зацело га је раскинула зверка; и до сада га не видех.
29 If you take this one away from me too, and something bad happens to him, you'll send this old man to his grave in grief.’ (Sheol h7585)
Ако и овог одведете од мене и задеси га како зло, свалићете ме старог у гроб с тугом. (Sheol h7585)
30 So if the boy isn't with us when I go back to my father, whose life depends on the life of the boy,
Па сада да отидем к слузи твом, оцу свом, а ово дете да не буде с нама, како је душа оног везана за душу овог,
31 as soon as he sees the boy isn't there he'll die, and we will really send this old man, our father, to his grave in grief. (Sheol h7585)
Умреће кад види да нема детета, те ће слуге твоје свалити старог слугу твог, а оца свог, с тугом у гроб. (Sheol h7585)
32 In fact I gave myself as the guarantee for the boy to my father. I told him, ‘If I don't bring him back to you, then I will always carry the blame!’
А твој се слуга подјемчио за дете оцу свом рекавши: Ако ти га не доведем натраг, да сам крив оцу свом до века.
33 So please let me stay here as my lord's slave instead of the boy. Let him go back home with his brothers.
Зато нека слуга твој остане место детета, да буде роб господару мом, а дете нека иде с браћом својом.
34 For how could I ever go back to my father if the boy wasn't with me? I couldn't stand seeing the anguish that would cause my father.”
Јер како бих се вратио к оцу свом без детета, да гледам јаде који би ми оца задесили?
