Genesis 43
1 And the famine [is] severe in the land;
Ali glad bješe vrlo velika u onoj zemlji.
2 and it comes to pass, when they have finished eating the grain which they brought from Egypt, that their father says to them, “Return, buy for us a little food.”
Pa kad pojedoše žito koje bijahu donijeli iz Misira, reèe im otac: idite opet, i kupite nam malo hrane.
3 And Judah speaks to him, saying, “The man protesting protested to us, saying, You do not see my face without your brother [being] with you;
A Juda mu progovori i reèe: tvrdo nam se zarekao onaj èovjek govoreæi: neæete vidjeti lica mojega, ako ne bude s vama brat vaš.
4 if you are sending our brother with us, we go down, and buy for you food,
Ako æeš pustiti s nama brata našega, iæi æemo i kupiæemo ti hrane.
5 and if you are not sending—we do not go down, for the man said to us, You do not see my face without your brother [being] with you.”
Ako li neæeš pustiti, neæemo iæi, jer nam je kazao onaj èovjek: neæete vidjeti lica mojega, ako ne bude s vama brat vaš.
6 And Israel says, “Why did you do evil to me, by declaring to the man that you had yet a brother?”
A Izrailj reèe: što mi to zlo uèiniste i kazaste èovjeku da imate još jednoga brata?
7 And they say, “The man asked diligently concerning us, and concerning our family, saying, Is your father yet alive? Have you a brother? And we declare to him according to the tenor of these things; do we certainly know that he will say, Bring down your brother?”
A oni rekoše: èovjek je potanko raspitivao za nas i za rod naš govoreæi: je li vam jošte živ otac? imate li još braæe? a mi mu odgovarasmo kako nas pitaše. Jesmo li mogli kako znati da æe kazati: dovedite brata svojega?
8 And Judah says to his father Israel, “Send the youth with me, and we arise, and go, and live, and do not die, both we, and you, and our infants.
I reèe Juda Izrailju ocu svojemu: pusti dijete sa mnom, pa æemo se podignuti i otiæi, da ostanemo živi i ne pomremo i mi i ti i naša djeca.
9 I am guarantor [for] him, from my hand you require him; if I have not brought him to you, and set him before you—then I have sinned against you all the days;
Ja ti se jamèim za nj, iz moje ga ruke išti; ako ti ga ne dovedem natrag i preda te ne stavim, da sam ti kriv dovijeka.
10 for if we had not lingered, surely now we had returned these two times.”
Da nijesmo toliko oklijevali, do sada bismo se dva puta vratili.
11 And their father Israel says to them, “If so, now, do this: take of the praised thing of the land in your vessels, and take down to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds;
Onda reèe Izrailj otac njihov: kad je tako, uèinite ovo: uzmite što najljepše ima u ovoj zemlji u svoje vreæe, i ponesite èovjeku onom dar: malo tamjana i malo meda, mirisava korijenja i smirne, urme i badema.
12 and double money take in your hand, even the money which is brought back in the mouth of your bags, you take back in your hand, it may be it [is] an oversight.
A novaca ponesite dvojinom, i uzmite novce što bijahu ozgo u vreæama vašim i odnesite natrag, može biti da je pogrješka.
13 And take your brother, and rise, return to the man;
I uzmite brata svojega, pa ustanite i idite opet k onom èovjeku.
14 and God Almighty give to you mercies before the man, so that he has sent to you your other brother and Benjamin; and I, when I am bereaved—I am bereaved.”
A Bog svemoguæi da vam da da naðete milost u onoga èovjeka, da vam pusti brata vašega drugoga i Venijamina; ako li ostanem bez djece, nek ostanem bez djece.
15 And the men take this present, double money also they have taken in their hand, and Benjamin; and they rise, and go down to Egypt, and stand before Joseph;
Tada uzevši dare i novaca dvojinom, uzevši i Venijamina, podigoše se i otidoše u Misir, i izaðoše pred Josifa.
16 and Joseph sees Benjamin with them and says to him who [is] over his house, “Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal, and make ready, for the men eat with me at noon.”
A Josif kad vidje s njima Venijamina, reèe èovjeku koji upravljaše kuæom njegovom: odvedi ove ljude u kuæu, pa nakolji mesa i zgotovi, jer æe u podne sa mnom jesti ovi ljudi.
17 And the man does as Joseph has said, and the man brings in the men into the house of Joseph,
I uèini èovjek kako Josif reèe, i uvede ljude u kuæu Josifovu.
18 and the men are afraid because they have been brought into the house of Joseph, and they say, “For the matter of the money which was put back in our bags at the commencement are we brought in—to roll himself on us, and to throw himself on us, and to take us for servants—our donkeys also.”
A oni se bojahu kad ih èovjek voðaše u kuæu Josifovu, i rekoše: za novce koji preðe bjehu metnuti u vreæe naše vodi nas, dokle smisli kako æe nas okriviti, da nas zarobi i uzme naše magarce.
19 And they come near to the man who [is] over the house of Joseph, and speak to him at the opening of the house,
Pa pristupivši k èovjeku koji upravljaše kuæom Josifovom, progovoriše mu na vratima kuænim,
20 and say, “O my lord, we really come down at the commencement to buy food;
I rekoše: èuj, gospodaru; došli smo bili i preðe, i kupismo hrane;
21 and it comes to pass, when we have come to the lodging-place, and open our bags, that behold, each one’s money [is] in the mouth of his bag, our money in its weight, and we bring it back in our hand;
Pa kad doðosmo u jednu gostionicu i otvorismo vreæe, a to novci svakoga nas bijahu ozgo u vreæi njegovoj, novci naši na mjeru; i evo smo ih donijeli natrag;
22 and other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food; we have not known who put our money in our bags.”
A druge smo novce donijeli da kupimo hrane; ne znamo ko nam metnu novce naše u vreæe.
23 And he says, “Peace to you, do not fear: your God and the God of your father has given to you hidden treasure in your bags, your money came to me”; and he brings out Simeon to them.
A on im reèe: budite mirni, ne bojte se; Bog vaš i Bog oca vašega metnuo je blago u vreæe vaše; novci su vaši bili u mene. I izvede im Simeuna.
24 And the man brings in the men into Joseph’s house, and gives water, and they wash their feet; and he gives provender for their donkeys,
I uvede ih èovjek u kuæu Josifovu, i donese im vode te opraše noge, i magarcima njihovijem položi.
25 and they prepare the present until the coming of Joseph at noon, for they have heard that there they eat bread.
I pripraviše dar èekajuæi dokle doðe Josif u podne, jer èuše da æe oni ondje objedovati.
26 And Joseph comes into the house, and they bring to him the present which [is] in their hand, into the house, and bow themselves to him, to the earth;
I kad Josif doðe kuæi, iznesoše mu dar koji imahu kod sebe, i pokloniše mu se do zemlje.
27 and he asks of them of peace and says, “Is your father well? The aged man of whom you have spoken, is he yet alive?”
A on ih zapita kako su, i reèe: kako je otac vaš stari, za koga mi govoriste? je li jošte živ?
28 And they say, “Your servant our father [is] well, he is yet alive”; and they bow, and pay respect.
A oni rekoše: dobro je sluga tvoj, otac naš; još je živ. I pokloniše mu se.
29 And he lifts up his eyes and sees his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and says, “Is this your young brother, of whom you have spoken to me?” And he says, “God favor you, my son.”
A on pogledav vidje Venijamina brata svojega, sina matere svoje, i reèe: je li vam to najmlaði brat vaš za kojega mi govoriste? I reèe: Bog da ti bude milostiv, sinko!
30 And Joseph hurries, for his bowels have been moved for his brother, and he seeks to weep, and enters the inner chamber, and weeps there;
A Josifu goraše srce od ljubavi prema bratu svojemu, te brže potraži gdje æe plakati, i ušav u jednu sobu plaka ondje.
31 and he washes his face, and goes out, and refrains himself, and says, “Place bread.”
Poslije umiv se izaðe, i ustežuæi se reèe: dajte objed.
32 And they place for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who are eating with him by themselves: for the Egyptians are unable to eat bread with the Hebrews, for it [is] an abomination to the Egyptians.
I donesoše njemu napose, i njima napose, i Misircima koji objedovahu u njega napose, jer ne mogahu Misirci jesti s Jevrejima, jer je to neèisto Misircima.
33 And they sit before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the young one according to his youth, and the men wonder one at another;
A sjeðahu pred njim stariji po starješinstvu svojem a mlaði po mladosti svojoj. I zgledahu se od èuda.
34 and he lifts up gifts from before him to them, and the gift of Benjamin is five hands more than the gifts of all of them; and they drink, indeed, they drink abundantly with him.
I uzimajuæi jela ispred sebe slaše njima, i Venijaminu dopade pet puta više nego drugima. I piše i napiše se s njim.
