Genesis 43
1 Now great famine was in the land.
Lakota v deželi pa je bila huda.
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.
Pripetilo se je, ko so pojedli žito, ki so ga prinesli iz Egipta, da jim je njihov oče rekel: »Ponovno pojdite, kupite 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.
Juda mu je spregovoril, rekoč: »Človek nam je slovesno izpričal, rekoč: ›Ne boste videli mojega obraza, razen če bo z vami vaš brat.‹
4 If thou wilt sende our brother with vs, we will goe downe, and bye thee foode:
Če hočeš z nami poslati našega brata, bomo šli dol in ti kupili hrano,
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.
toda če ga nočeš poslati, ne bomo šli dol, kajti človek nam je rekel: ›Ne boste videli mojega obraza, razen če bo z vami vaš brat.‹«
6 And Israel sayd, Wherefore delt ye so euill with me, as to tell the man, whether ye had yet a brother or no?
Izrael je rekel: »Zakaj postopate z menoj tako slabo, da ste možu povedali, da imate še 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?
Rekli so: »Mož nas je strogo povprašal o našem stanju in o našem sorodstvu, rekoč: › Ali vaš oče še živi? Imate še enega brata?‹ In povedali smo mu glede na pomen teh besed. Mar bi lahko zagotovo vedeli, da bo rekel: ›Svojega brata pripeljite dol?‹«
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.
Juda pa je svojemu očetu Izraelu rekel: »Pošlji dečka z menoj in bomo vstali ter šli, da bomo lahko živeli in ne umrli, tako mi, kakor ti in tudi naši malčki.
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.
Jaz bom poroštvo zanj. Iz moje roke ga boš zahteval. Če ti ga ne privedem in postavim predte, potem naj krivdo nosim na veke,
10 For except we had made this tarying, doutlesse by this we had returned the second time.
kajti razen, če se ne bi obotavljali, bi se zagotovo sedaj drugič vrnili.«
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 oče Izrael jim je rekel: »Če mora biti to sedaj tako, storite tole. Vzemite od najboljših sadov dežele v svoje posode in odnesite dol človeku darilo, malo balzama, malo meda, dišave, miro, oreščke in mandlje.
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.
V svoje roke vzemite dvojen denar. Denar, ki je bil priveden nazaj v ustjih vaših vreč, ga ponovno odnesite v svoji roki; morda je bila to pomota.
13 Take also your brother and arise, and go againe to the man.
Vzemite tudi svojega brata in vstanite, ponovno pojdite k človeku.
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.
Bog Vsemogočni pa naj vam da usmiljenje pred človekom, da lahko odpošlje proč vašega drugega brata in Benjamina. Če bom oropan svojih otrok, sem oropan.«
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.
Možje so vzeli to darilo in v svojo roko vzeli dvojen denar in Benjamina. Vstali so in odšli dol k Egiptu in obstali pred Jožefom.
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.
Ko je Jožef z njimi zagledal Benjamina je gospodarju svoje hiše rekel: »Privedi te može domov in zakolji in pripravi, kajti ti možje bodo opoldan kosili z menoj.«
17 And the man did as Ioseph bad, and brought the men vnto Iosephs house.
Človek je storil kakor je Jožef zaukazal in človek je može privedel v Jožefovo hišo.
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.
Možje pa so bili prestrašeni, ker so bili privedeni v Jožefovo hišo. Rekli so: »Zaradi denarja, ki je bil prvič vrnjen v naše vreče, smo bili privedeni noter; da lahko zoper nas iščejo priložnost in padejo na nas in vzamejo za sužnje nas in naše osle.«
19 Therefore came they to Iosephs stewarde, and communed with him at the doore of ye house.
Približali so se oskrbniku Jožefove hiše ter se z njim posvetovali pri hišnih vratih
20 And said, Oh syr, we came in deede down hither at the first time to bye foode,
in rekli: »Oh gospod, prvič smo zares prišli dol, da kupimo hrano
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.
in pripetilo se je, ko smo prišli v gostišče, da smo odprli svoje vreče in glej, denar vsakega človeka je bil v ustju njegove vreče, naš denar v polni teži in mi smo ga ponovno prinesli v svoji roki.
22 Also other money haue we brought in our handes to bye foode, but we cannot tell, who put our money in our sackes.
In še en denar smo prinesli dol v svojih rokah, da kupimo hrano. Ne moremo povedati, kdo je naš denar položil v naše vreče.«
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.
Rekel je: »Mir vam bodi, ne bojte se. Vaš Bog in Bog vašega očeta vam je v vaše vreče dal zaklad. Jaz sem imel vaš denar.« In k njim je privedel Simeona.
24 So the man led them into Iosephs house, and gaue them water to wash their feete, and gaue their asses prouender.
Človek je može privedel v Jožefovo hišo in jim dal vode in umili so si svoja stopala in njihovim oslom je dal krmo.
25 And they made ready their present against Ioseph came at noone, (for they heard say, that they should eate bread there)
In pripravili so darilo za Jožefa, ki je prišel opoldan, kajti slišali so, da bodo tam jedli kruh.
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.
Ko je Jožef prišel domov, so mu prinesli darilo, ki je bilo v njihovi roki, v hišo in se mu priklonili k zemlji.
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?
Vprašal jih je o njihovi blaginji in rekel: » Ali je vaš oče zdrav, starec, o katerem ste govorili? Ali še živi?«
28 Who answered, Thy seruant our father is in good health, he is yet aliue: and they bowed downe, and made obeysance.
Odgovorili so: »Tvoj služabnik, naš oče, je dobrega zdravja, on je še vedno živ.« In sklonili so svoje glave in se globoko priklonili.
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.
Povzdignil je svoje oči in zagledal svojega brata Benjamina, sina svoje matere ter rekel: » Ali je to vaš mlajši brat, o katerem ste mi govorili?« Rekel je: »Bog ti bodi milostljiv, moj sin.«
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.
Jožef se je podvizal, kajti njegova notranjost je hrepenela za njegovim bratom in iskal je kje bi se zjokal in vstopil v svojo sobo in se tam zjokal.
31 Afterward he washed his face, and came out, and refrained himselfe, and sayd, Set on meate.
Umil si je obraz, odšel ven in se zadrževal ter rekel: »Pripravite kruh.«
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.
Pripravili so posebej zanj in posebej zanje in posebej za Egipčane, ki so jedli z njim, ker Egipčani ne smejo jesti kruha s Hebrejci, kajti to je Egipčanom ogabnost.
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.
Sedeli so pred njim, prvorojenec glede na njegovo pravico prvorojenstva in najmlajši glede na svojo mladost in možje so se čudili drug drugemu.
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.
Vzel je in jim poslal jedi izpred sebe, toda Benjaminovih jedi je bilo petkrat več kakor od kateregakoli izmed njih. In pili so in bili veseli z njim.
