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?”
Torej ko je Jakob videl, da je bilo v Egiptu žito, je Jakob rekel svojim sinovom: »Zakaj gledate drug drugega?«
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”;
Rekel je: »Glejte, slišal sem, da je v Egiptu žito, pojdite tja dol in ga kupite za nas od tod, da bomo lahko živeli in ne umrli.«
3 and the ten brothers of Joseph go down to buy grain in Egypt,
Jožefovih deset bratov je odšlo dol, da bi v Egiptu nakupili žita.
4 and Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob has not sent with his brothers, for he said, “Lest harm meet him.”
Toda Jožefovega brata Benjamina Jakob ni poslal s svojimi brati, kajti rekel je: »Da ga ne bi morda doletela nesreča.«
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,
Med temi, ki so prihajali, so prišli Izraelovi sinovi kupovat žito, kajti lakota je bila v kánaanski deželi.
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.
Jožef pa je bil guverner nad deželo in on je bil tisti, ki je prodajal vsemu ljudstvu dežele. In prišli so Jožefovi bratje in se priklonili pred njim s svojimi obrazi k zemlji.
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.”
Jožef je zagledal svoje brate in jih prepoznal, toda naredil se jim je tujca in jim surovo govoril in jim rekel: »Od kod prihajate?« Rekli so: »Iz kánaanske dežele, da kupimo hrano.«
8 And Joseph discerns his brothers, but they have not discerned him,
Jožef je svoje brate prepoznal, oni pa ga niso 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.”
Jožef se je spomnil sanj, ki jih je sanjal o njih in jim rekel: »Ogleduhi ste. Prišli ste, da vidite nezavarovanost dežele.«
10 And they say to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food;
Rekli so mu: »Ne, moj gospod, temveč so tvoji služabniki prišli kupit hrano.
11 we [are] all of us sons of one man, we [are] right men; your servants have not been spies”;
Vsi smo sinovi enega moža. Mi smo zvesti možje, tvoji služabniki niso ogleduhi.«
12 and he says to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land”;
Rekel jim je: »Ne, temveč ste prišli, da vidite nezavarovanost dežele.«
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.”
Rekli so: »Tvojih služabnikov je dvanajst bratov, sinovi enega moža v kánaanski deželi in glej, najmlajši je ta dan z našim očetom in enega ni.«
14 And Joseph says to them, “This [is] that which I have spoken to you, saying, You [are] spies,
Jožef pa jim je rekel: »To je to, kar sem vam govoril, « rekoč: »Ogleduhi ste.
15 by this you are proved: [as] Pharaoh lives, if you go out from this—except by your young brother coming here;
S tem boste preizkušeni. Pri faraonovem življenju ne boste šli od tod, razen če ne pride sèm vaš najmlajši brat.
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”;
Pošljite enega izmed vas in naj gre po vašega brata, vi pa boste zadržani v ječi, da se bodo vaše besede lahko dokazale, če je v vas kaj resnice, ali pa ste, pri faraonovem življenju, zagotovo ogleduhi.«
17 and he gathers them into confinement [for] three days.
Vse skupaj jih je za tri dni zaprl v ječo.
18 And Joseph says to them on the third day, “Do this and live; I fear God!
Jožef jim je tretji dan rekel: »Storite to in živite, kajti bojim se Boga.
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,
Če ste pravi možje, naj bo eden izmed vas zvezan v hiši vaše ječe, vi pa pojdite, nesite žito za lakoto svojih hiš,
20 and you bring your young brother to me, and your words are established, and you do not die”; and they do so.
toda svojega najmlajšega brata privedite k meni. Tako bodo vaše besede preverjene in ne boste umrli.« In storili so tako.
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.”
Rekli so drug drugemu: »Mi smo resnično krivi glede svojega brata v tem, [da] smo videli tesnobo njegove duše, ko nas je rotil, pa mu nismo prisluhnili. Zato je nad nas prišla ta tegoba.«
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 jim je odgovoril, rekoč: »Mar vam nisem govoril, rekoč: ›Ne grešite zoper otroka, ‹ pa me niste hoteli poslušati? Zato, glejte, tudi njegova kri je zahtevana.«
23 And they have not known that Joseph understands, for the interpreter [is] between them;
Niso pa vedeli, da jih je Jožef razumel, kajti govoril jim je po tolmaču.
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.
Obrnil se je okoli, proč od njih in zajokal. In ponovno se je vrnil k njim, se posvetoval z njimi in od njih vzel Simeona ter ga zvezal pred njihovimi očmi.
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.
Potem je Jožef zapovedal, da naj njihove vreče napolnijo z žitom in denar vsakega povrnejo v njegovo vrečo in jim dajo preskrbo z živežem za na pot. In tako so jim storili.
26 And they lift up their grain on their donkeys, and go from there,
Svoje osle so natovorili z žitom in odpotovali od tam.
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,
Ko pa je eden izmed njih odprl svojo vrečo, da da svojemu oslu krmo v gostišču, je odkril svoj denar, kajti, glej, ta je bil v ustju njegove vreče.
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!”
Svojim bratom je rekel: »Moj denar je povrnjen in glejte, ta je celo v moji vreči.« Njihovo srce jim je omagalo in bili so prestrašeni, rekoč drug drugemu: »Kaj je to, kar nam je storil Bog?«
29 And they come to their father Jacob, to the land of Canaan, and they declare to him all the things meeting them, saying,
Prišli so k svojemu očetu Jakobu v kánaansko deželo in mu povedali vse, kar se jim je pripetilo, rekoč:
30 “The man, the lord of the land, has spoken with us sharp things, and makes us as spies of the land;
»Mož, ki je gospodar dežele, nam je surovo govoril in nas prijel za ogleduhe dežele.
31 and we say to him, We [are] right men, we have not been spies,
Mi pa smo mu rekli: ›Mi smo pravični možje, mi nismo ogleduhi.
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.
Nas je dvanajst bratov, sinov našega očeta. Enega ni, najmlajši pa je ta dan z našim očetom v kánaanski deželi.‹«
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,
Mož, gospodar dežele, pa nam je rekel: »S tem bom spoznal, da ste pravični možje. Enega izmed svojih bratov pustite tukaj z menoj in vzemite hrano za lakoto svojih družin in odidite.
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.”
Svojega najmlajšega brata pa privedite k meni. Potem bom vedel, da niste ogleduhi, temveč, da ste pravični možje. Tako vam bom osvobodil vašega brata, vi pa boste preprodajali v deželi.«
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;
Pripetilo se je, ko so izpraznili svoje vreče, glej, da je bil sveženj denarja vsakega človeka v njegovi vreči. Ko so tako oni, kakor njihov oče, zagledali svežnje denarja, so bili prestrašeni.
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.”
Njihov oče Jakob jim je rekel: »Oropali ste me mojih otrok. Jožefa ni in Simeona ni in proč hočete odvesti [še] Benjamina. Vse te stvari so zoper mene.«
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”;
Ruben je spregovoril svojemu očetu: »Moja dva sinova ubij, če ga ne privedem k tebi. Izroči ga v mojo roko, jaz pa ga bom ponovno privedel k tebi.«
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)
Rekel je: »Moj sin ne bo šel dol s teboj, kajti njegov brat je mrtev, on pa je ostal sam. Če ga po poti, na katero greste, zadene nesreča, potem boste moje sive lase z bridkostjo privedli do groba.« (Sheol h7585)
