Genesis 44
1 And Joseph charged the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put the money of each in the mouth of his sack.
Onda Josip naredi upravitelju svoga kućanstva: “Napuni vreće ovih ljudi hranom koliko mogu ponijeti, a novac svakog stavi u grlo njegove vreće.
2 And put my silver cup into the sack of the youngest, and the price of his corn. And it was done according to the word of Joseph, as he said.
A moj pehar - onaj od srebra - stavi u grlo vreće najmlađega, zajedno s njegovim novcem za žito.” On učini kako mu je Josip naredio.
3 The morning dawned, and the men were sent away, they and their asses.
Kad je svanulo, otpreme ljude i njihove magarce.
4 And when they had gone out of the city, [and] were not far off, then Joseph said to his steward, Arise, and pursue after the men; and you shall overtake them, and say to them, Why have you returned evil for good?
Tek što su izišli iz grada - nisu bili odmakli daleko - kad Josip reče upravitelju svoga kućanstva: “Na noge! Pođi za onim ljudima! Kad ih stigneš, kaži im: 'Zašto uzvraćate zlo za dobro?
5 Why have you stolen my silver cup? is it not this out of which my lord drinks? and he divines augury with it; you have accomplished evil in that which you have done.
Zar iz onog pehara ne pije moj gospodar i ne čita iz njega proricanje? Zlo ste učinili!'”
6 And he found them, and spoke to them according to these words.
Stigavši ih, ponovi im te riječi.
7 And they said to him, Why does our lord speak according to these words? far be it from your servants to do according to this word.
Oni odgovore: “Zašto nam gospodar govori tako? Daleko bilo od slugu tvojih da učine takvo što!
8 If we brought back to you out of the land of Chanaan the money which we found in our sacks, how should we steal silver or gold out of the house of your lord?
Čak i novac koji smo našli u svojim vrećama donijeli smo ti natrag iz zemlje kanaanske. Kako bismo onda mogli ukrasti srebra ili zlata iz kuće tvoga gospodara!
9 With whoever of your servants you shall find the cup, let him die; and, moreover, we will be servants to our lord.
Onaj u koga se od tvojih slugu nađe, neka se usmrti, a mi drugi postat ćemo robovi tvome gospodaru.”
10 And he said, Now then it shall be as you say; with whoever the cup shall be found, he shall be my servant, and you shall be clear.
“Premda je ono što predlažeš pravo”, preuzme on, “ipak će samo onaj u koga se ukradeno pronađe biti moj rob, a ostali bit ćete slobodni.”
11 And they hasted, and took down every man his sack on the ground, and they opened every man his sack.
Brže spustiše vreće na zemlju i svaki svoju otvori.
12 And he searched, beginning from the oldest, until he came to the youngest; and he found the cup in Benjamin's sack.
On je pretraživao, počevši s najstarijim i završivši s najmlađim. Pehar se nađe u Benjaminovoj vreći.
13 And they tore their garments, and laid each man his sack on his ass, and returned to the city.
Nato oni razdru svoje haljine; svaki ponovo natovari svoga magarca i vrate se u grad.
14 And Judas and his brethren came in to Joseph, while he was yet there, and fell on the ground before him.
Kad su Juda i njegova braća ponovo stupili u Josipov dom, još je on bio ondje. Bace se preda nj na zemlju.
15 And Joseph said to them, What is this thing that you have done? know you not that a man such as I can surely divine?
Onda im Josip reče: “Kakvo je to djelo što ste ga učinili? Zar ne znate da se čovjek kao što sam ja bavi proricanjem?”
16 And Judas said, What shall we answer to our lord, or what shall we say, or wherein should we be justified? whereas God has discovered the unrighteousness of your servants; behold, we are slaves to our lord, both we and he with whom the cup has been found.
Nato Juda odgovori: “Što bismo mogli reći svome gospodaru? Što možemo kazati, čime li se opravdati? Bog je otkrio zlodjelo tvojih slugu. Evo nas za robove svome gospodaru - jednako nas kao i onog u koga se našao pehar.”
17 And Joseph said, Far be it from me to do this thing; the man with whom the cup has been found, he shall be my servant; but do you go up with safety to your father.
“Daleko od mene da učinim tako!” - odgovori. “Nego, onaj u koga se našao pehar bit će moj rob, a vi drugi pođite mirno k svome ocu!”
18 And Judas drew near him, and said, I pray, Sir, let your servant speak a word before you, and be not angry with your servant, for you are next to Pharao.
Onda mu se Juda primače i reče: “Gospodaru moj, molim te, dopusti sluzi svojem da rekne riječ ušima gospodara svojega i neka se tvoja srdžba ne razlijeva na tvog slugu. TÓa ti si ravan faraonu.
19 Sir, you asked your servants, saying, Have you a father or a brother?
Pitao je moj gospodar svoje sluge: 'Imate li oca ili još kojega brata?'
20 And we said to [my] lord, We have a father, an old man, and he has a son of his old age, a young one, and his brother is dead, and he alone has been left behind to his mother, and his father loves him.
Svome smo gospodaru odgovorili: 'Imamo stara oca; on još ima jednog sina, rođena u njegovoj staračkoj dobi. Taj je najmlađi. Njegov je pravi brat umro, tako da je on jedini ostao od svoje majke. Njegov ga otac osobito voli.'
21 And you said to they servants, Bring him down to me, and I will take care of him.
Potom si rekao svojim slugama: 'Dovedite mi ga ovamo da ga vide moje oči?'
22 And we said to [my] lord, The child will not be able to leave his father; but if he should leave his father, he will die.
A mi smo odgovorili svome gospodaru: 'Dječak ne može ostaviti oca; kad bi ga ostavio, njegov bi otac umro.'
23 But you said to they servants, Except your younger brother come down with you, you shall not see my face again.
Nato si rekao svojim slugama: 'Ako vaš najmlađi brat s vama ne dođe ovamo, više ne smijete preda me.'
24 And it came to pass, when we went up to your servant our father, we reported to him the words of our lord.
Kad smo se vratili tvome sluzi, ocu mome, kazali smo mu riječi moga gospodara.
25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
Naš nam je otac rekao: 'Idite opet i nabavite nam malo hrane!'
26 And we said, We shall not be able to go down; but if our younger brother go down with us, we will go down; for we shall not be able to see the man's face, our younger brother not being with us.
Odgovorili smo: 'Ne možemo onamo. Samo ako s nama pođe naš najmlađi brat, sići ćemo, jer ne smijemo pred onoga čovjeka ako ne bude s nama naš najmlađi brat.'
27 And your servant our father said to us, You know that my wife bore me two [sons];
Tvoj sluga, otac moj, odvrati nam: 'Kako znate, žena mi je rodila dva sina.
28 and one is departed from me; and you said that he was devoured of wild beasts, and I have not seen him until now.
Jedan je nestao, te sam zaključio: sigurno je rastrgan! Odonda ga više nisam vidio.
29 If then you take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall you bring down my old age with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Ako i ovoga od mene odvedete pa ga kakva nesreća snađe, moju ćete sijedu glavu s tugom strovaliti dolje u Šeol.' (Sheol h7585)
30 Now then, if I should go in to they servant, and our father, and the boy should not be with us, (and his life depends on this [lad's] life)
Ako sad dođem k tvome sluzi, ocu svome, a mladić - čiji je život tako povezan s njegovim - ne bude s nama,
31 —it shall even come to pass, when he sees the boy is not with us, [that] he will die, and your servants will bring down the old age of your servant, and our father, with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
on će svisnuti kad vidi da dječaka nema s nama; tako će tvoje sluge strovaliti u tuzi sijedu glavu tvoga sluge, oca našega, dolje u Šeol. (Sheol h7585)
32 For your servant has received the boy [in charge] from his father, saying, If I bring him not to you, and place him before you, I shall be guilty towards my father for ever.
Jer tvoj je sluga zajamčio ocu svome za dječaka, rekavši: 'Ako ti ga ne vratim, bit ću kriv svome ocu svega vijeka.'
33 Now then I will remain a servant with you instead of the lad, a domestic of my lord; but let the lad go up with his brethren.
Zato, molim te, neka tvoj sluga ostane kao rob mome gospodaru, a dječak neka ide natrag s braćom.
34 For how shall I go up to my father, the lad not being with us? lest I behold the evils which will befall my father.
Jer, kako mogu k svome ocu ako dječaka nema sa mnom! Ne bih mogao gledati jad što bi snašao moga oca.”
