Genesis 42
1 Then Iaakob saw that there was foode in Egypt, and Iaakob said vnto his sonnes, Why gaze ye one vpon an other?
Torej ko je Jakob videl, da je bilo v Egiptu žito, je Jakob rekel svojim sinovom: »Zakaj gledate drug drugega?«
2 And he said, Behold, I haue heard that there is foode in Egypt, Get you downe thither, and bie vs foode thence, that we may liue and not die.
Rekel je: »Glejte, slišal sem, da je v Egiptu žito, pojdite tja dol in ga kupite za nas od tod, da bomo lahko živeli in ne umrli.«
3 So went Iosephs ten brethren downe to bye corne of the Egyptians.
Jožefovih deset bratov je odšlo dol, da bi v Egiptu nakupili žita.
4 But Beniamin Iosephs brother woulde not Iaakob send with his brethren: for he saide, Least death should befall him.
Toda Jožefovega brata Benjamina Jakob ni poslal s svojimi brati, kajti rekel je: »Da ga ne bi morda doletela nesreča.«
5 And the sonnes of Israel came to bye foode among them that came: for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
Med temi, ki so prihajali, so prišli Izraelovi sinovi kupovat žito, kajti lakota je bila v kánaanski deželi.
6 Now Ioseph was gouerner of the land, who solde to all the people of the lande: then Iosephs brethren came, and bowed their face to the groud before him.
Jožef pa je bil guverner nad deželo in on je bil tisti, ki je prodajal vsemu ljudstvu dežele. In prišli so Jožefovi bratje in se priklonili pred njim s svojimi obrazi k zemlji.
7 And when Ioseph sawe his brethren, hee knewe them, and made himselfe straunge toward them, and spake to them roughly, and saide vnto them, Whence come yee? Who answered, Out of the land of Canaan, to bye vitaile.
Jožef je zagledal svoje brate in jih prepoznal, toda naredil se jim je tujca in jim surovo govoril in jim rekel: »Od kod prihajate?« Rekli so: »Iz kánaanske dežele, da kupimo hrano.«
8 (Now Ioseph knewe his brethren, but they knew not him.
Jožef je svoje brate prepoznal, oni pa ga niso prepoznali.
9 And Ioseph remembred the dreames, which he dreamed of them) and he sayde vnto them, Ye are spies, and are come to see the weaknesse of the land.
Jožef se je spomnil sanj, ki jih je sanjal o njih in jim rekel: »Ogleduhi ste. Prišli ste, da vidite nezavarovanost dežele.«
10 But they sayde vnto him, Nay, my lorde, but to bye vitayle thy seruants are come.
Rekli so mu: »Ne, moj gospod, temveč so tvoji služabniki prišli kupit hrano.
11 Wee are all one mans sonnes: wee meane truely, and thy seruants are no spies.
Vsi smo sinovi enega moža. Mi smo zvesti možje, tvoji služabniki niso ogleduhi.«
12 But he saide vnto them, Nay, but yee are come to see the weakenes of the land.
Rekel jim je: »Ne, temveč ste prišli, da vidite nezavarovanost dežele.«
13 And they said, We thy seruants are twelue brethren, the sonnes of one man in the lande of Canaan: and beholde, the yongest is this day with our father, and one is not.
Rekli so: »Tvojih služabnikov je dvanajst bratov, sinovi enega moža v kánaanski deželi in glej, najmlajši je ta dan z našim očetom in enega ni.«
14 Againe Ioseph sayde vnto them, This is it that I spake vnto you, saying, Ye are spies.
Jožef pa jim je rekel: »To je to, kar sem vam govoril, « rekoč: »Ogleduhi ste.
15 Hereby ye shall be proued: by the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not goe hence, except your yongest brother come hither.
S tem boste preizkušeni. Pri faraonovem življenju ne boste šli od tod, razen če ne pride sèm vaš najmlajši brat.
16 Send one of you which may fet your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proued, whether there bee trueth in you: or els by the life of Pharaoh ye are but spies.
Pošljite enega izmed vas in naj gre po vašega brata, vi pa boste zadržani v ječi, da se bodo vaše besede lahko dokazale, če je v vas kaj resnice, ali pa ste, pri faraonovem življenju, zagotovo ogleduhi.«
17 So he put them in warde three dayes.
Vse skupaj jih je za tri dni zaprl v ječo.
18 Then Ioseph said vnto them the third day, This do, and liue: for I feare God.
Jožef jim je tretji dan rekel: »Storite to in živite, kajti bojim se Boga.
19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bounde in your prison house, and goe ye, carie foode for the famine of your houses:
Če ste pravi možje, naj bo eden izmed vas zvezan v hiši vaše ječe, vi pa pojdite, nesite žito za lakoto svojih hiš,
20 But bring your yonger brother vnto me, that your wordes may be tried, and that ye dye not: and they did so.
toda svojega najmlajšega brata privedite k meni. Tako bodo vaše besede preverjene in ne boste umrli.« In storili so tako.
21 And they said one to another, We haue verily sinned against our brother, in that we sawe the anguish of his soule, when he besought vs, and we would not heare him: therefore is this trouble come vpon vs.
Rekli so drug drugemu: »Mi smo resnično krivi glede svojega brata v tem, [da] smo videli tesnobo njegove duše, ko nas je rotil, pa mu nismo prisluhnili. Zato je nad nas prišla ta tegoba.«
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Warned I not you, saying, Sinne not against the childe, and ye would not heare? and lo, his blood is now required.
Ruben jim je odgovoril, rekoč: »Mar vam nisem govoril, rekoč: ›Ne grešite zoper otroka, ‹ pa me niste hoteli poslušati? Zato, glejte, tudi njegova kri je zahtevana.«
23 (And they were not aware that Ioseph vnderstoode them: for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.)
Niso pa vedeli, da jih je Jožef razumel, kajti govoril jim je po tolmaču.
24 Then he turned from them, and wept, and turned to them againe, and communed with them, and tooke Simeon from among them, and bounde him before their eyes.
Obrnil se je okoli, proč od njih in zajokal. In ponovno se je vrnil k njim, se posvetoval z njimi in od njih vzel Simeona ter ga zvezal pred njihovimi očmi.
25 So Ioseph commanded that they should fill their sackes with wheate, and put euery mans money againe in his sacke, and giue them vitaile for the iourney: and thus did he vnto them.
Potem je Jožef zapovedal, da naj njihove vreče napolnijo z žitom in denar vsakega povrnejo v njegovo vrečo in jim dajo preskrbo z živežem za na pot. In tako so jim storili.
26 And they layed their vitaile vpon their asses, and departed thence.
Svoje osle so natovorili z žitom in odpotovali od tam.
27 And as one of them opened his sacke for to giue his asse prouender in the ynne, he espyed his money: for lo, it was in his sackes mouth.
Ko pa je eden izmed njih odprl svojo vrečo, da da svojemu oslu krmo v gostišču, je odkril svoj denar, kajti, glej, ta je bil v ustju njegove vreče.
28 Then he sayde vnto his brethren, My money is restored: for loe, it is euen in my sacke. And their heart fayled them, and they were astonished, and sayde one to another, What is this, that God hath done vnto vs?
Svojim bratom je rekel: »Moj denar je povrnjen in glejte, ta je celo v moji vreči.« Njihovo srce jim je omagalo in bili so prestrašeni, rekoč drug drugemu: »Kaj je to, kar nam je storil Bog?«
29 And they came vnto Iaakob their father vnto the lande of Canaan, and tolde him all that had befallen them, saying,
Prišli so k svojemu očetu Jakobu v kánaansko deželo in mu povedali vse, kar se jim je pripetilo, rekoč:
30 The man, who is Lord of the lande, spake roughly to vs, and put vs in prison as spyes of the countrey.
»Mož, ki je gospodar dežele, nam je surovo govoril in nas prijel za ogleduhe dežele.
31 And we sayd vnto him, We are true men, and are no spies.
Mi pa smo mu rekli: ›Mi smo pravični možje, mi nismo ogleduhi.
32 We be twelue brethren, sonnes of our father: one is not, and the yongest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
Nas je dvanajst bratov, sinov našega očeta. Enega ni, najmlajši pa je ta dan z našim očetom v kánaanski deželi.‹«
33 Then the Lord of the countrey sayde vnto vs, Hereby shall I knowe if ye be true men: Leaue one of your brethren with me, and take foode for the famine of your houses and depart,
Mož, gospodar dežele, pa nam je rekel: »S tem bom spoznal, da ste pravični možje. Enega izmed svojih bratov pustite tukaj z menoj in vzemite hrano za lakoto svojih družin in odidite.
34 And bring your yongest brother vnto me, that I may knowe that ye are no spies, but true men: so will I deliuer you your brother, and yee shall occupie in the land.
Svojega najmlajšega brata pa privedite k meni. Potem bom vedel, da niste ogleduhi, temveč, da ste pravični možje. Tako vam bom osvobodil vašega brata, vi pa boste preprodajali v deželi.«
35 And as they emptied their sacks, behold, euery mans bundel of money was in his sacke: and when they and their father sawe the bundels of their money, they were afrayde.
Pripetilo se je, ko so izpraznili svoje vreče, glej, da je bil sveženj denarja vsakega človeka v njegovi vreči. Ko so tako oni, kakor njihov oče, zagledali svežnje denarja, so bili prestrašeni.
36 Then Iaakob their father said to them, Ye haue robbed me of my children: Ioseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Beniamin: all these things are against me.
Njihov oče Jakob jim je rekel: »Oropali ste me mojih otrok. Jožefa ni in Simeona ni in proč hočete odvesti [še] Benjamina. Vse te stvari so zoper mene.«
37 Then Reuben answered his father, saying, Slay my two sonnes, if I bring him not to thee againe: deliuer him to mine hand, and I will bring him to thee againe.
Ruben je spregovoril svojemu očetu: »Moja dva sinova ubij, če ga ne privedem k tebi. Izroči ga v mojo roko, jaz pa ga bom ponovno privedel k tebi.«
38 But he said, My sonne shall not go downe with you: for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if death come vnto him by the way which ye goe, then ye shall bring my gray head with sorow vnto the graue. (Sheol h7585)
Rekel je: »Moj sin ne bo šel dol s teboj, kajti njegov brat je mrtev, on pa je ostal sam. Če ga po poti, na katero greste, zadene nesreča, potem boste moje sive lase z bridkostjo privedli do groba.« (Sheol h7585)
