Genesis 43
1 Now great famine was in the land.
Strašna glad pritisla zemlju.
2 And when they had eaten vp the vitaile, which they had brought from Egypt, their father sayd vnto them, Turne againe, and bye vs a little foode.
Kad su pojeli hranu koju bijahu donijeli iz Egipta, njihov im otac reče: “Idite opet i nabavite nam malo hrane.”
3 And Iudah answered him, saying, The man charged vs by an othe, saying, Neuer see my face, except your brother be with you.
Nato će mu Juda: “Onaj nam je čovjek jasno rekao: 'Ne smijete preda me ako vaš brat ne bude s vama.'
4 If thou wilt sende our brother with vs, we will goe downe, and bye thee foode:
Ako si, dakle, voljan s nama poslati našega brata, mi ćemo otići dolje i kupit ćemo ti žita.
5 But if thou wilt not send him, we wil not go downe: for the man said vnto vs, Looke me not in the face, except your brother be with you.
Ali ako njega ne pustiš s nama, onda mi tamo i ne idemo, jer nam je onaj zaprijetio: 'Ne smijete preda me ako vaš brat ne bude s vama.'”
6 And Israel sayd, Wherefore delt ye so euill with me, as to tell the man, whether ye had yet a brother or no?
“Zašto ste mi”, zapita Izrael, “nanijeli jad rekavši onom čovjeku da imate još jednoga brata?”
7 And they answered, The man asked straitly of our selues and of our kinred, saying, Is your father yet aliue? haue ye any brother? And wee tolde him according to these wordes: could we knowe certainely that he would say, Bring your brother downe?
Oni odgovore: “Čovjek nas je neprestano zapitkivao o nama i o našoj obitelji: 'Je li vam još živ otac? Imate li još kojega brata?' Mi smo mu odgovarali na pitanja. Kako smo mogli znati da će reći: 'Dovedite svoga brata!'”
8 Then sayde Iudah to Israel his father, Send the boy with mee, that we may rise and goe, and that we may liue and not dye, both we, and thou, and our children.
Potom Juda reče svome ocu Izraelu: “Pusti dječaka sa mnom pa da se dignemo i krenemo; tako ćemo preživjeti, a ne pomrijeti, i mi, i ti, i naša djeca.
9 I wil be suertie for him: of mine hand shalt thou require him. If I bring him not to thee, and set him before thee, then let me beare the blame for euer.
Ja za nj jamčim; mene drži odgovornim za nj. Ako ga tebi ne vratim i preda te ga ne dovedem, bit ću ti kriv svega vijeka.
10 For except we had made this tarying, doutlesse by this we had returned the second time.
TÓa da nismo toliko oklijevali, mogli smo se već i dvaput vratiti.”
11 Then their father Israel sayd vnto them, If it must needes be so now, do thus: take of the best fruites of the lande in your vessels, and bring the man a present, a little rosen, and a little hony, spices and myrrhe, nuttes, and almondes:
Njihov otac Izrael reče im: “Kad je tako, neka bude, ali učinite ovo: metnite u torbe najbiranijih proizvoda ove zemlje i ponesite na dar onom čovjeku: nešto balzama, nešto meda i mirodija, mirisne smole, pa lješnjaka i badema.
12 And take double money in your hande, and the money, that was brought againe in your sackes mouthes: cary it againe in your hand, lest it were some ouersight.
Sa sobom uzmite dvostruko novaca, jer treba vratiti novac koji ste našli u grlima svojih vreća. Možda je ono bila zabuna.
13 Take also your brother and arise, and go againe to the man.
Uzmite svoga brata pa se opet zaputite onom čovjeku.
14 And God almightie giue you mercie in the sight of the man, that hee may deliuer you your other brother, and Beniamin: but I shall be robbed of my childe, as I haue bene.
Neka Bog Svemogući, El Šadaj, potakne onog čovjeka na milosrđe prema nama te vam pusti i drugoga brata i Benjamina. A ja, moram li bez djece ostati, neka ostanem.”
15 Thus the men tooke this present, and tooke twise so much money in their hande with Beniamin, and rose vp, and went downe to Egypt and stoode before Ioseph.
Uzmu ljudi darove; uzmu sa sobom dvostruko novaca, povedu Benjamina te siđu u Egipat i stupe pred Josipa.
16 And whe Ioseph saw Beniamin with them, he sayde to his stewarde, Bring these men home and kill meate, and make ready: for the men shall eate with me at noone.
Kad Josip ugleda s njima Benjamina, reče upravitelju svoga kućanstva: “Odvedi ljude u kuću, zakolji jedno živinče i pripremi, jer će ovi ljudi blagovati sa mnom o podne!”
17 And the man did as Ioseph bad, and brought the men vnto Iosephs house.
Čovjek učini kako je Josip rekao i povede ljude u Josipov dom.
18 Nowe when the men were brought into Iosephs house, they were afrayd, and sayd, Because of the money, that came in our sackes mouthes at the first time, are we brought, that hee may picke a quarrell against vs, and lay some thing to our charge, and bring vs in bondage and our asses.
Ljudi se pobojaše kad su bili povedeni u dom Josipov te rekoše: “Zbog novca koji se našao u našim vrećama prvi put vode nas unutra tako da nas napadnu i zajedno s našom magaradi uzmu za robove.”
19 Therefore came they to Iosephs stewarde, and communed with him at the doore of ye house.
Stoga se primaknu upravitelju Josipova doma te mu, na ulazu u kuću, reknu:
20 And said, Oh syr, we came in deede down hither at the first time to bye foode,
“Oprosti, gospodaru! Mi smo i prije jednom dolazili da nabavimo hrane;
21 And as wee came to an ynne and opened our sackes, behold, euery mans money was in his sackes mouth, euen our money in full weight, but we haue brought it againe in our handes.
i kad smo stigli na prenoćište i otvorili svoje vreće, a to novac svakoga od nas ozgo u njegovoj vreći, naš novac, ista svota. Sad smo ga donijeli sa sobom.
22 Also other money haue we brought in our handes to bye foode, but we cannot tell, who put our money in our sackes.
A ponijeli smo i drugog novca da kupimo hrane. Mi ne znamo tko nam je stavio novac u naše vreće.”
23 And he said, Peace be vnto you, feare not: your God and the God of your father hath giuen you that treasure in your sackes, I had your money: and he brought forth Simeon to them.
“Budite mirni”, reče im on. “Ne bojte se! Bog vaš i Bog vašega oca stavio je blago u vaše vreće. Vaš je novac k meni stigao.” Potom im izvede Šimuna.
24 So the man led them into Iosephs house, and gaue them water to wash their feete, and gaue their asses prouender.
Čovjek zatim uvede ljude u Josipovu kuću; dade im vode da operu noge, a njihovoj magaradi baci p§iće.
25 And they made ready their present against Ioseph came at noone, (for they heard say, that they should eate bread there)
Potom priprave oni svoje darove za dolazak Josipov o podne, jer su čuli da će ondje ručati.
26 When Ioseph came home, they brought the present into the house to him, which was in their handes, and bowed downe to the grounde before him.
Kad je Josip došao u kuću, dadu mu darove koje su sa sobom donijeli i do zemlje mu se poklone.
27 And he asked them of their prosperitie, and sayd, Is your father the olde man, of whome ye tolde me, in good health? is he yet aliue?
Upita ih on za zdravlje te će dalje: “A je li dobro vaš stari otac o kome ste mi govorili? Je li još dobra zdravlja?”
28 Who answered, Thy seruant our father is in good health, he is yet aliue: and they bowed downe, and made obeysance.
“Sluga tvoj, otac naš, dobro je i još je dobra zdravlja”, odgovore i duboko se naklone iskazujući poštovanje.
29 And he lifting vp his eyes, beheld his brother Beniamin his mothers sonne, and sayde, Is this your yonger brother, of whome ye tolde me? And he said, God be merciful vnto thee, my sone.
Podigavši svoje oči, Josip opazi svoga brata Benjamina - sina svoje majke - te upita: “Je li ovo vaš najmlađi brat o kome ste mi govorili?” Onda nastavi: “Bog ti bio milostiv, sine moj!”
30 And Ioseph made haste (for his affection was inflamed towarde his brother, and sought where to weepe) and entred into his chamber, and wept there.
Josip se poslije toga požuri van jer mu se srce uzbudilo zbog brata; bilo mu je da zaplače. Uđe u jednu sobu i tu se isplaka.
31 Afterward he washed his face, and came out, and refrained himselfe, and sayd, Set on meate.
Onda opere lice, ponovo se javi i, svladavajući se, naredi: “Poslužite ručak!”
32 And they prepared for him by himselfe, and for them by themselues, and for the Egyptians, which did eate with him, by themselues, because the Egyptians might not eate bread with the Ebrewes: for that was an abomination vnto the Egyptians.
Staviše njemu napose, njima napose, a napose opet Egipćanima koji su s njim jeli. Egipćani ne bi mogli jesti s Hebrejima, jer bi to Egipćanima bilo odvratno.
33 So they sate before him: the eldest according vnto his age, and the yongest according vnto his youth. and the men marueiled among themselues.
I kad posjedaše pred njim, najstariji prema starosti svojoj, a najmlađi prema mladosti svojoj, samo se zgledahu.
34 And they tooke meases from before him, and sent to them: but Beniamins mease was fiue times so much as any of theirs: and they drunke, and had of the best drinke with him.
I naređivaše on da jela ispred njega nose njima, a obrok Benjaminov bijaše pet puta veći od svih ostalih. I pili su i gostili se s njim.
