Genesis 42
1 And Jacob sees that there is grain in Egypt, and Jacob says to his sons, “Why do you look at each other?”
Kad je Jakov čuo da u Egiptu ima žita, reče svojim sinovima: “Što tu zurite jedan u drugoga?
2 He also says, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt, go down there, and buy for us from there, and we live and do not die”;
Čujem da ima žita u Egiptu. Otiđite dolje te nam ga odande nabavite da ostanemo na životu i ne pomremo.”
3 and the ten brothers of Joseph go down to buy grain in Egypt,
Tako desetero Josipove braće siđe da nabavi žita iz Egipta.
4 and Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob has not sent with his brothers, for he said, “Lest harm meet him.”
Benjamina, Josipova pravog brata, Jakov ne posla s ostalima. “Da ga ne bi zadesila kakva nesreća”, govorio je.
5 And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine has been in the land of Canaan,
Među onima koji su išli nabavljati žito, jer u zemlji kanaanskoj vladaše glad, bijahu i sinovi Izraelovi.
6 and Joseph is the ruler over the land, he who is selling to all the people of the land, and Joseph’s brothers come and bow themselves to him—face to the earth.
Josip je bio namjesnik u zemlji; on je dijelio žito svemu svijetu. Dođu tako i Josipova braća i poklone mu se licem do zemlje.
7 And Joseph sees his brothers, and discerns them, and makes himself strange to them, and speaks sharp things with them, and says to them, “From where have you come?” And they say, “From the land of Canaan—to buy food.”
Josip prepozna braću čim ih ugleda, ali se prema njima vladao kao stranac i oštro im govorio. Zapita ih: “Odakle dolazite?” Odgovore: “Iz zemlje kanaanske došli smo da kupimo hrane.”
8 And Joseph discerns his brothers, but they have not discerned him,
Iako je Josip prepoznao svoju braću, oni njega nisu prepoznali.
9 and Joseph remembers the dreams which he dreamed of them and says to them, “You [are] spies; you have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
Josip se sjeti snova što ih je o njima sanjao. I reče im: “Vi ste uhode! Došli ste da izvidite slaba mjesta ove zemlje.”
10 And they say to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food;
Oni mu odgovore: “Ne, gospodaru! Tvoje su sluge došle da nabave hrane.
11 we [are] all of us sons of one man, we [are] right men; your servants have not been spies”;
Svi smo sinovi jednog oca; pošteni smo ljudi; sluge tvoje nikad nisu bile uhode.”
12 and he says to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land”;
On će im opet: “Ne, nego ste došli da izvidite slaba mjesta ove zemlje.”
13 and they say, “Your servants [are] twelve brothers; we [are] sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and behold, the young one [is] with our father today, and one is not.”
Nato oni uzvrate: “Nas, tvojih slugu, bijaše dvanaestero braće - sinovi jednog oca, u zemlji kanaanskoj; najmlađi je sad s ocem, a jednoga više nema.”
14 And Joseph says to them, “This [is] that which I have spoken to you, saying, You [are] spies,
No Josip im dobaci: “Onako kako sam vam već rekao: vi ste uhode!
15 by this you are proved: [as] Pharaoh lives, if you go out from this—except by your young brother coming here;
Ovako ću vas iskušati: odavde, tako mi faraona, nećete izići ako vaš najmlađi brat ne dođe ovamo!
16 send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and you, remain bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be with you: and if not, [as] Pharaoh lives, surely you [are] spies”;
Pošaljite jednoga između sebe da vam dovede brata, a vi ostali u zatvor! Tako ću iskušati vaše riječi i vidjeti je li u vas istina ili nije. Inače, tako mi faraona, vi ste uhode!”
17 and he gathers them into confinement [for] three days.
Potom ih baci u zatvor na tri dana.
18 And Joseph says to them on the third day, “Do this and live; I fear God!
Treći im dan reče Josip: “Izvršite to, i ostat ćete na životu, jer sam ja čovjek bogobojazan.
19 If you [are] right men, let one of your brothers be bound in the house of your confinement, and you, go, carry in grain [for] the famine of your houses,
Ako ste pošteni, neka jedan od vas ostane u zatvoru, a vi ostali idite i nosite žito svojim izgladnjelim domovima.
20 and you bring your young brother to me, and your words are established, and you do not die”; and they do so.
Poslije toga dovedite mi svoga najmlađeg brata, tako da se obistine vaše riječi te da ne izginete.” Oni pristanu.
21 And they say to one another, “Truly we [are] guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul, in his making supplication to us, and we did not listen: therefore this distress has come on us.”
Zatim je jedan drugom govorio: “Jao nama! Stiže nas kazna zbog našega brata; gledali smo njegovu muku dok nas je molio za milost, ali ga nismo uslišali. Stoga nas je ova nevolja snašla.”
22 And Reuben answers them, saying, “Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the boy? And you did not listen; and his blood also, behold, it is required.”
Ruben im odvrati: “Zar vam nisam govorio: Ne ogrešujte se o mladića! Ali vi niste slušali. Sad se traži račun za njegovu krv.”
23 And they have not known that Joseph understands, for the interpreter [is] between them;
Nisu znali da ih Josip razumije, jer su se s njim razgovarali preko tumača.
24 and he turns around from them, and weeps, and turns back to them, and speaks to them, and takes Simeon from them, and binds him before their eyes.
On se od njih udalji te zaplaka. Opet se vrati i razgovaraše s njima. Onda izdvoji Šimuna između njih i naredi da bude svezan na njihove oči.
25 And Joseph commands, and they fill their vessels [with] grain, also to put back the money of each of them into his sack, and to give to them provision for the way; and one does to them so.
Potom Josip zapovjedi da im vreće napune žitom; da svakome njegov novac metnu u vreću i da im daju poputninu. Tako im učine.
26 And they lift up their grain on their donkeys, and go from there,
Tada oni natovare žito na svoje magarce i krenu odande.
27 and the one opens his sack to give provender to his donkey at a lodging-place, and he sees his money, and behold, it [is] in the mouth of his bag,
Kad na prenoćištu jedan od njih otvori svoju vreću da nahrani magarca, opazi svoj novac ozgo u vreći.
28 and he says to his brothers, “My money has been put back, and also, behold, in my bag”: and their heart goes out, and they tremble, to one another saying, “What [is] this God has done to us!”
“Moj je novac vraćen!” - povika braći. - “Evo ga u mojoj vreći!” Zadrhta srce u njima. Zgledaše se, uplašeni, i rekoše: “Što nam ovo Bog uradi!”
29 And they come to their father Jacob, to the land of Canaan, and they declare to him all the things meeting them, saying,
Došavši k svome ocu Jakovu u zemlju kanaansku, kazaše mu sve što ih je snašlo.
30 “The man, the lord of the land, has spoken with us sharp things, and makes us as spies of the land;
“Čovjek koji je gospodar one zemlje”, rekoše, “oštro nam je govorio i optužio nas kao uhode.
31 and we say to him, We [are] right men, we have not been spies,
Pošteni smo ljudi, kazasmo mu, i nikad nismo bili uhode.
32 we [are] twelve brothers, sons of our father, one is not, and the young one [is] today with our father in the land of Canaan.
Bilo nas je dvanaestero braće, sinovi istog oca, ali jednoga više nema, dok se najmlađi sad nalazi s našim ocem u zemlji kanaanskoj.
33 And the man, the lord of the land, says to us, By this I know that you [are] right men—leave one of your brothers with me, and take [for] the famine of your houses and go,
Ali čovjek koji je gospodar one zemlje reče nam: 'Ovim ću doznati da ste pošteni ljudi: ostavite jednoga brata kod mene, a vi ostali uzmite što vam treba za izgladnjele domove, pa idite.
34 and bring your young brother to me, and I know that you [are] not spies, but you [are] right men; I give your brother to you, and you trade with the land.”
Onda mi dovedite svoga najmlađeg brata, tako da znam da niste uhode, nego pošteni ljudi. Poslije toga vratit ću vam vašeg brata, i vi ćete se moći slobodno kretati u ovoj zemlji.'”
35 And it comes to pass, they are emptying their sacks, and behold, the bundle of each man’s silver [is] in his sack, and they see their bundles of silver, they and their father, and are afraid;
Kako su praznili svoje vreće, svaki nađe u vreći svoju kesu. Opazivši to, zapadoše u strah - i oni i njihov otac.
36 and their father Jacob says to them, “You have bereaved me; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and Benjamin you take—all these [things] have been against me.”
“Mene vi ostavljate bez djece!” - reče im njihov otac. - “Josipa je nestalo, Šimuna nema, a sad biste odveli i Benjamina. Sve se to na me svaljuje!”
37 And Reuben speaks to his father, saying, “You put to death my two sons, if I do not bring him to you; give him into my hand, and I bring him back to you”;
Onda Ruben reče svome ocu: “Ubij moja dva sina ako ti ga ja natrag ne dovedem! Predaj ga u moje ruke, i ja ću ti ga vratiti!”
38 and he says, “My son does not go down with you, for his brother [is] dead, and he by himself is left; when harm has met him in the way in which you go, then you have brought down my grey hairs in sorrow to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
“Moj sin neće s vama!” - uzvrati on. - “Njegov je pravi brat već mrtav, a on je ostao sam. Ako bi ga na putu na koji ćete poći snašla nesreća, u tuzi biste otpravili moju sijedu glavu dolje u Šeol.” (Sheol h7585)
