Genesis 44
1 And he commands him who [is] over his house, saying, “Fill the bags of the men [with] food, as they are able to carry, and put the money of each in the mouth of his bag;
И заповеди Јосиф човеку што управљаше кућом његовом говорећи: Наспи овим људима у вреће жита колико могу понети, и свакоме у врећу метни озго новце његове.
2 and my cup, the silver cup, you put in the mouth of the bag of the young one, and his grain-money”; and he does according to the word of Joseph which he has spoken.
И чашу моју, чашу сребрну, метни најмлађем у врећу одозго и новце за његово жито. И учини како му Јосиф рече.
3 The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their donkeys—
А ујутру кад свану, отпустише људе с магарцима њиховим.
4 they have gone out of the city—they have not gone far off—and Joseph has said to him who [is] over his house, “Rise, pursue after the men; and you have overtaken them, and you have said to them: Why have you repaid evil for good?
А кад изађоше из места и још не беху далеко, рече Јосиф човеку што управљаше кућом његовом: Устани, иди брже за оним људима, и кад их стигнеш реци им: Зашто враћате зло за добро?
5 Is this not that with which my lord drinks? And he observes diligently with it; you have done evil [in] that which you have done.”
Није ли то чаша из које пије мој господар? И неће ли по њој зацело познати какви сте? Зло сте радили што сте то учинили.
6 And he overtakes them, and speaks to them these words,
И он их стиже, и рече им тако.
7 and they say to him, “Why does my lord speak according to these words? Far be it from your servants to do according to this word;
А они му рекоше: Зашто говориш, господару, такве речи? Сачувај Боже да слуге твоје учине такво шта!
8 behold, the money which we found in the mouth of our bags we brought back to you from the land of Canaan, and how do we steal from the house of your lord silver or gold?
Ено смо ти донели натраг из земље хананске новце које нађосмо озго у врећама својим, па како бисмо украли из куће господара твог сребро или злато?
9 With whomsoever of your servants it is found, he has died, and we also are to my lord for servants.”
У ког се између слуга твојих нађе, онај нека погине, и сврх тога ми ћемо бити робови господару мом.
10 And he says, “Now also, according to your words, so it [is]; he with whom it is found becomes my servant, and you are acquitted”;
А он рече: Нека буде како рекосте; али у кога се нађе, онај да ми буде роб, а ви остали нећете бити криви.
11 and they hurry and take down each his bag to the earth, and each opens his bag;
И брже поскидаше сви на земљу вреће своје, и разрешише сваки своју врећу.
12 and he searches—at the eldest he has begun, and at the youngest he has completed—and the cup is found in the bag of Benjamin;
А он стаде тражити почевши од најстаријег, и кад дође на најмлађег, нађе се чаша у врећи Венијаминовој.
13 and they tear their garments, and each loads his donkey, and they return to the city.
Тада раздреше хаљине своје, и натоваривши сваки свој товар на свог магарца вратише се у град.
14 And Judah and his brothers come to the house of Joseph, and he is yet there, and they fall to the earth before him;
И дође Јуда с браћом својом Јосифу у кућу, док он још беше код куће, и падоше пред њим на земљу.
15 and Joseph says to them, “What [is] this deed that you have done? Have you not known that a man like me diligently observes?”
А Јосиф им рече: Шта сте то учинили? Зар нисте знали да човек као што сам ја може зацело дознати?
16 And Judah says, “What do we say to my lord? What do we speak? And how do we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we [are] servants to my lord, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found”;
Тада рече Јуда: Шта да ти кажемо, господару? Шта да говоримо? Како ли да се правдамо? Бог је открио злочинство твојих слуга. Ево, ми смо сви робови твоји, господару, и ми и овај у кога се нашла чаша.
17 and he says, “Far be it from me to do this; the man in whose hand the cup has been found, he becomes my servant; and you, go up in peace to your father.”
А Јосиф рече: Боже сачувај! Нећу ја то; у кога се нашла чаша он нека ми буде роб, а ви идите с миром оцу свом.
18 And Judah comes near to him and says, “O my lord, please let your servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not let your anger burn against your servant—for you are as Pharaoh.
Али Јуда приступив к њему рече: Чуј ме, господару; допусти да проговори слуга твој господару свом, и нека се гнев твој не распали на слугу твог, јер си ти као сам Фараон.
19 My lord has asked his servants, saying, Do you have a father or brother?
Господар мој запита слуге своје говорећи: Имате ли оца или брата?
20 And we say to my lord, We have a father, an aged one, and a child of old age, a little one; and his brother died, and he is left alone of his mother, and his father has loved him.
А ми рекосмо господару свом: Имамо старог оца и брата најмлађег, који му се роди у старости; а његов је брат умро, и он оста сам од матере своје, и отац га пази.
21 And you say to your servants, Bring him down to me, and I set my eye on him;
А ти рече слугама својим: Доведите ми га да видим својим очима.
22 and we say to my lord, The youth is not able to leave his father, when he has left his father, then he has died;
И рекосмо господару свом: Неће моћи дете оставити оца свог; да остави оца свог, одмах ће отац умрети.
23 and you say to your servants, If your young brother does not come down with you, you do not add to see my face.
А ти рече слугама својим: Ако не дође брат ваш најмлађи, нећете видети лице моје.
24 And it comes to pass, that we have come up to your servant my father, that we declare to him the words of my lord;
А кад се вратисмо к слузи твом а оцу мом, казасмо му речи господара мог.
25 and our father says, Return, buy for us a little food,
После рече нам отац: Идите опет, купите нам хране.
26 and we say, We are not able to go down; if our young brother is with us, then we have gone down; for we are not able to see the man’s face, and our young brother not with us.
А ми рекосмо: Не можемо ићи, осим ако буде брат наш најмлађи с нама, онда ћемо ићи, јер не можемо видети лица оног човека, ако не буде с нама брат наш најмлађи.
27 And your servant my father says to us, You have known that my wife bore two to me,
А слуга твој, отац мој, рече нам: Знате да ми је жена родила два сина.
28 and one goes out from me, and I say, Surely he is torn—torn! And I have not seen him since;
И један од њих отиде од мене, и рекох: Зацело га је раскинула зверка; и до сада га не видех.
29 when you have taken also this from my presence, and harm has met him, then you have brought down my grey hairs with evil to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Ако и овог одведете од мене и задеси га како зло, свалићете ме старог у гроб с тугом. (Sheol h7585)
30 And now, at my coming to your servant my father, and the youth not with us (and his soul is bound up in his soul),
Па сада да отидем к слузи твом, оцу свом, а ово дете да не буде с нама, како је душа оног везана за душу овог,
31 then it has come to pass, when he sees that the youth is not, that he has died, and your servants have brought down the grey hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol; (Sheol h7585)
Умреће кад види да нема детета, те ће слуге твоје свалити старог слугу твог, а оца свог, с тугом у гроб. (Sheol h7585)
32 for your servant obtained the youth by guarantee to my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you—then I have sinned against my father all the days.
А твој се слуга подјемчио за дете оцу свом рекавши: Ако ти га не доведем натраг, да сам крив оцу свом до века.
33 And now, please let your servant abide instead of the youth [as] a servant to my lord, and the youth goes up with his brothers,
Зато нека слуга твој остане место детета, да буде роб господару мом, а дете нека иде с браћом својом.
34 for how do I go up to my father, and the youth not with me? Lest I look on the evil which finds my father.”
Јер како бих се вратио к оцу свом без детета, да гледам јаде који би ми оца задесили?
