Genesis 44
1 And he commanded the superintendent of his house, saying, Fill the sacks of these men with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money 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 my cup, the silver cup, thou shalt put in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and the money for his corn. And he did according to the word of Joseph which he had spoken.
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 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
Kad je svanulo, otpreme ljude i njihove magarce.
4 They were gone out of the city, not yet far off, when Joseph said unto the superintendent of his house, Up, follow after the men; and when thou hast overtaken them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye 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 Is not this out of which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
Zar iz onog pehara ne pije moj gospodar i ne čita iz njega proricanje? Zlo ste učinili!'”
6 And he overtook them, and he spoke unto them these same words.
Stigavši ih, ponovi im te riječi.
7 And they said unto him, Wherefore will my lord speak such words as these? God forbid that thy servants should do any thing like this.
Oni odgovore: “Zašto nam gospodar govori tako? Daleko bilo od slugu tvojih da učine takvo što!
8 Behold the money, which we found in the mouth of our sacks, we brought back unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
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 whomsoever of thy servants it be found, let him die; and we also will be bondmen unto thy 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 also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; but ye shall be blameless.
“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 made haste, and every one of them took down his sack to the ground, and every one opened his sack.
Brže spustiše vreće na zemlju i svaki svoju otvori.
12 And he searched, at the eldest he began, and at the youngest he left off; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
On je pretraživao, počevši s najstarijim i završivši s najmlađim. Pehar se nađe u Benjaminovoj vreći.
13 Then they rent their clothes, and every one loaded his ass, and they returned to the city.
Nato oni razdru svoje haljine; svaki ponovo natovari svoga magarca i vrate se u grad.
14 And Judah and his brothers came into Joseph's house, and he was yet there; and they fell down before him on the ground.
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 unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? knew ye not that such a man as I can certainly 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 Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we justify ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold we are servants unto my lord, both we, as also he in whose hand the cup was 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 he said, God forbid that I should do this: the man in whose hand the cup was found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, go you up in peace unto 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 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Pardon, my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thy anger burn against thy servant; for thou art even as Pharaoh.
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 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother.
Pitao je moj gospodar svoje sluge: 'Imate li oca ili još kojega brata?'
20 And we said unto my lord, We have an old father, and a little child born in his old age; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth 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 thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set my eye upon him.
Potom si rekao svojim slugama: 'Dovedite mi ga ovamo da ga vide moje oči?'
22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father; for if he should leave his father, he would die.
A mi smo odgovorili svome gospodaru: 'Dječak ne može ostaviti oca; kad bi ga ostavio, njegov bi otac umro.'
23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall not see my face any more.
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 came up unto thy servant my father, that we told him the words of my lord.
Kad smo se vratili tvome sluzi, ocu mome, kazali smo mu riječi moga gospodara.
25 And our father said, Go back and buy us a little food.
Naš nam je otac rekao: 'Idite opet i nabavite nam malo hrane!'
26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we cannot see the man's face, except our youngest brother be 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 thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bore me two sons;
Tvoj sluga, otac moj, odvrati nam: 'Kako znate, žena mi je rodila dva sina.
28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he hath been torn to pieces; and I have not seen him up to this time.
Jedan je nestao, te sam zaključio: sigurno je rastrgan! Odonda ga više nisam vidio.
29 And if ye take this one also from me, and mischief befall him, ye will bring down my gray hairs 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 And now, when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the 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 will come to pass, that when he seeth that the lad is not with us, he will die: and thy servants would thus bring down the gray hairs of thy servant 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 thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I have sinned against my father all the days.
Jer tvoj je sluga zajamčio ocu svome za dječaka, rekavši: 'Ako ti ga ne vratim, bit ću kriv svome ocu svega vijeka.'
33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad as bond-man to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brothers.
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, and the lad be not with me? I should perhaps be compelled to witness the evil which would come on my father.
Jer, kako mogu k svome ocu ako dječaka nema sa mnom! Ne bih mogao gledati jad što bi snašao moga oca.”
