Genesis 43
1 And the famine [was] heavy in the land.
Men Hungersnøden var haard i Landet;
2 And it was just when they finished to eat the grain which they had brought from Egypt and he said to them father their go back buy for us a little of food.
og da de havde fortæret det Korn, de havde hentet i Ægypten, sagde deres Fader til dem: »Køb os igen lidt Føde!«
3 And he said to him Judah saying certainly he warned us the man saying not you will see face my except brother your [is] with you.
Men Juda svarede ham: »Manden sagde os ganske afgjort: I bliver ikke stedt for mit Aasyn, medmindre eders Broder er med!
4 If there you [are] sending brother our with us we will go down and we will buy for you food.
Hvis du derfor vil sende vor Broder med os, vil vi rejse ned og købe dig Føde;
5 And if not you [are] sending [him] not we will go down for the man he said to us not you will see face my except brother your [is] with you.
men sender du ham ikke med, saa rejser vi ikke derned, thi Manden sagde til os: I bliver ikke stedt for mit Aasyn, medmindre eders Broder er med!«
6 And he said Israel why? did you do harm to me by telling to the man ¿ still [belong] to you [does] a brother.
Saa sagde Israel: »Hvorfor handlede I ilde imod mig og fortalte Manden, at I havde en Broder til?«
7 And they said carefully he asked the man of us and of kindred our saying ¿ still [is] father your living ¿ [does] there [belong] to you a brother and we told to him on [the] mouth of the words these ¿ really did we know that he will say bring down brother your.
De svarede: »Manden spurgte os nøje ud om os og vor Slægt og sagde: Lever eders Fader endnu? Har I en Broder til? Og vi svarede ham paa hans Spørgsmaal; kunde vi vide, at han vilde sige: Bring eders Broder herned!«
8 And he said Judah to Israel father his send! the young man with me so let us arise and we will go and we may live and not we will die both we as well as you as well as little one[s] our.
Men Juda sagde til sin Fader Israel: »Send dog Drengen med mig, saa vi kan komme af Sted og blive i Live og undgaa Døden, baade vi og du og vore Børn!
9 I I will stand surety for him from hand my you will require him if not I have brought him to you and I will set him before you and I will be culpable to you all the days.
Jeg svarer for ham, af min Haand maa du kræve ham: bringer jeg ham ikke til dig og stiller ham for dit Aasyn, vil jeg være din Skyldner for bestandig;
10 For if not we had delayed for now we have returned this two times.
havde vi nu ikke spildt Tiden, kunde vi have været tilbage to Gange!«
11 And he said to them Israel father their if so - then this do take some of [the] best products of the land in vessels your and take down to the man a gift a little of balm and a little of honey spice and myrrh pistachio nuts and almonds.
Saa sagde deres Fader Israel til dem: »Kan det ikke være anderledes, gør da i alt Fald saaledes: Tag noget af det bedste, Landet frembringer, med i eders Sække og bring Manden en Gave, lidt Mastiksbalsam, lidt Honning, Tragakantgummi, Cistusharpiks, Pistacienødder og Mandler;
12 And silver double take in hand your and the silver that was returned in [the] mouth of sacks your you will take back in hand your perhaps [was] a mistake it.
og tag dobbelt saa mange Penge med, saa I bringer de Penge tilbage, som var lagt oven i eders Sække; maaske var det en Fejltagelse;
13 And brother your take and arise go back to the man.
og tag saa eders Broder og drag atter til Manden!
14 And God Almighty may he give to you compassion before the man and he will let go to you brother your other and Benjamin and I just when I have been bereaved I have been bereaved.
Gud den Almægtige lade eder finde Barmhjertighed hos Manden, saa han lader eders anden Broder og Benjamin fare — men skal jeg være barnløs, saa lad mig da blive det!«
15 And they took the men the gift this and double money they took in hand their and Benjamin and they arose and they went down Egypt and they stood before Joseph.
Saa tog Mændene deres Gave og dobbelt saa mange Penge med; ogsaa Benjamin tog de med, brød op og drog ned til Ægypten, hvor de fremstillede sig for Josef.
16 And he saw Joseph with them Benjamin and he said to [the one] who [was] over household his bring the men the house towards and slaughter a slaughter and prepare [it] for with me they will eat the men at noon.
Da Josef saa Benjamin iblandt dem, sagde han til sin Hushovmester: »Bring de Mænd ind i mit Hus, lad slagte og lave til, thi de skal spise til Middag hos mig.«
17 And he did the man just as he said Joseph and he brought the man the men [the] house of towards Joseph.
Manden gjorde, som Josef bød, og førte Mændene ind i Josefs Hus.
18 And they were afraid the men that they were brought [the] house of Joseph and they said on [the] matter of the silver which returned in sacks our at the beginning we [are] being brought to roll himself on us and to throw himself on us and to take us to slaves and donkeys our.
Men Mændene blev bange, da de førtes ind i Josefs Hus, og sagde: »Det er for de Penges Skyld, der forrige Gang kom tilbage i vore Sække, at vi føres herind, for at de kan vælte sig ind paa os og kaste sig over os, gøre os til Trælle og tage vore Æsler.«
19 And they approached the man who [was] over [the] household of Joseph and they spoke to him [the] entrance of the house.
Derfor traadte de hen til Josefs Hushovmester ved Døren til Huset
20 And they said pardon us O lord my certainly we came down at the beginning to buy food.
og sagde: »Hør os, Herre! Vi drog en Gang før herned for at købe Føde,
21 And it was that we came to the lodging place and we opened! sacks our and there! [the] silver of each man [was] in [the] mouth of sack his silver our in weight its and we have brought back it in hand our.
og da vi kom til vort Natteherberge og aabnede vore Sække, se, da laa vore Penge oven i hver enkelts Sæk, vore Penge til sidste Hvid. Men nu har vi bragt dem med tilbage
22 And silver other we have brought down in hand our to buy food not we know who? did he put silver our in sacks our.
og desuden andre Penge for at købe Føde. Vi ved ikke, hvem der har lagt Pengene i vore Sække!«
23 And he said peace [be] to you may not you fear God your and [the] God of father your he gave to you treasure in sacks your silver your it came to me and he brought out to them Simeon.
Men han svarede: »Vær ved godt Mod, frygt ikke! Eders Gud og eders Faders Gud har lagt en Skat i eders Sække — eders Penge har jeg modtaget!« Og han førte Simeon ud til dem.
24 And he brought the man the men [the] house of towards Joseph and he gave water and they washed feet their and he gave fodder to donkeys their.
Saa førte Manden dem ind i Josefs Hus og gav dem Vand til at tvætte deres Fødder og Foder til Æslerne.
25 And they prepared the gift until came Joseph at noon for they had heard that there they will eat food.
Og de fremtog deres Gave, før Josef kom hjem ved Middagstid, thi de hørte, at de skulde spise der.
26 And he came Joseph the house towards and they brought to him the gift which [was] in hand their the house towards and they bowed down to him [the] ground towards.
Da Josef traadte ind i Huset, bragte de ham den Gave, de havde med, og kastede sig til Jorden for ham.
27 And he asked of them to welfare and he said ¿ health [is] father your old whom you spoke ¿ [is] still he alive.
Han hilste paa dem og spurgte: »Gaar det eders gamle Fader vel, ham, I talte om? Lever han endnu?«
28 And they said health [belongs] to servant your to father our still he [is] alive and they bowed low (and they bowed down. *Q(K)*)
De svarede: »Det gaar din Træl, vor Fader, vel; han lever endnu!« Og de bøjede sig og kastede sig til Jorden.
29 And he lifted up eyes his and he saw Benjamin brother his [the] son of mother his and he said ¿ [is] this brother your young whom you spoke to me and he said God may he show favor to you O son my.
Da han saa fik Øje paa sin kødelige Broder Benjamin, sagde han: »Er det saa eders yngste Broder, som I talte til mig om?« Og han sagde: »Gud være dig naadig, min Søn!«
30 And he hurried Joseph for they grew warm compassion his to brother his and he sought to weep and he went the inner room towards and he wept there.
Men Josef brød hurtigt af, thi Kærligheden til Broderen blussede op i ham, og han kæmpede med Graaden; derfor gik han ind i sit Kammer og græd der.
31 And he washed face his and he came out and he restrained himself and he said set food.
Men da han havde badet sit Ansigt, kom han ud, og han beherskede sig og sagde: »Sæt Maden frem!«
32 And they set for him to only him and to them to alone them and for the Egyptians who were eating with him to alone them for not they were able! the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews food for [is] an abomination it to Egypt.
Saa blev Maden sat frem særskilt for ham og for dem og for de Ægyptere, der spiste hos ham; thi Ægypterne kan ikke spise sammen med Hebræere, det er dem en Vederstyggelighed.
33 And they sat down before him the firstborn according to birthright his and the young [brother] according to youth his and they looked in astonishment the men each to neighbor his.
De blev bænket foran ham efter Alder, den førstefødte øverst og den yngste nederst, og Mændene undrede sig og saa paa hverandre;
34 And someone took portions from with face his to them and it was great [the] portion of Benjamin more than [the] portions of all of them five hands and they drank and they became drunk with him.
og han lod dem bringe Mad fra sit eget Bord, og Benjamin fik fem Gange saa meget som hver af de andre. Og de drak og blev lystige sammen med ham.
