Genesis 42
1 When someone told Jacob that there was grain in Egypt that people could buy, he said to his sons, “(Why do you just sit there looking at each other?/Do not just sit there looking at each other!) [RHQ] We need some grain!”
А като видя Яков, че в Египет се намира жито, Яков рече на синовете си: Защо се гледате един друг?
2 He said to them, “Someone told me that there is grain for sale in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, in order that we will not die!”
Рече още: Ето, чух, че в Египет се намира жито; слезте там та ни купете от там, за да живеем и да не измрем.
3 So Joseph’s ten [older] brothers went down to Egypt to buy some grain.
Тогава десетте Иосифови братя слязоха да купят жито от Египет.
4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s [younger] brother, to go with the others, because he was afraid/worried that something terrible might happen to him like what happened to Joseph.
А Яков не изпрати Вениамина, Иосифовия брат, заедно с братята му; защото думаше: Да не би да му се случи нещастие.
5 So Jacob’s other sons went down from Canaan to Egypt to buy grain, and others from there went too, because there was a famine in Canaan also.
И тъй, между ония, които идеха, дойдоха и синовете на Израиля да купят; защото имаше глад и в Ханаанската земя.
6 At that time Joseph was the governor of Egypt. He was the one who sold grain to people who came from all over Egypt and from many other countries [HYP] to buy grain. So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, [they were told that it was necessary for them to talk with Joseph. So they went to him and] prostrated themselves before him with their faces to the ground.
А понеже Иосиф беше управител на земята и той беше, който продаваше на всичките люде на оная земя, затова братята на Иосифа, като дойдоха, поклониха му се с лицата си до земята.
7 As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them. But he pretended that he did not know them. He spoke harshly to them, saying, “Where do you come from?” One of them replied, “We have come from Canaan, to buy some grain.”
А Иосиф, като видя братята си, позна ги, но се престори, като чужд на тях, говореше им грубо и им рече: От где идете? А те рекоха: От Ханаанската земя, за да купим храна.
8 Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.
(А при все, че Иосиф позна братята си, те не го познаха).
9 And then Joseph remembered what he had dreamed about them many years previously. [But he decided not to tell them yet that he was their younger brother]. He said to them, “You are spies! You have come to find out whether we will be able to defend ourselves [if you attack us]!”
Тогава Иосиф, като си спомни сънищата, които беше видял за тях, рече им: Вие сте шпиони; дошли сте да съглеждате голотата на тая земя.
10 One of them replied, “No, sir! We have come to buy grain.
А те му казаха: Не, господарю, слугите ти дойдоха да си купят храна.
11 We are all sons of one man. We are honest men, not spies.”
Ние всички сме синове на един човек, честни човеци сме, слугите ти не са шпиони.
12 He said to them, “[I do not believe you]. You have come just to see whether we would be able to defend ourselves if we were attacked!”
Но той им рече: Не, дошли сте да съглеждате голотата на земята.
13 But one of them replied, “No, that is not true! Originally there were twelve of us who were brothers, the sons of one man. Our younger brother is with our father. One [younger] brother has died. [EUP]”
А те казаха: Ние, твоите слуги, сме дванадесет братя, синове на един човек в Ханаанската земя; и, ето, най-младият е днес при баща ни, а единият го няма.
14 Joseph replied, “[You are lying! I think] it is just as I told you. You are spies!
А Иосиф им рече: Това е, което ви казах, когато рекох: Шпиони сте.
15 But this is how I will determine whether what you are saying is true. I think that as surely as the king lives, you are spies. And you will not leave this place until your youngest brother comes here!
Ето как ще бъдете опитани: В името на Фараона, няма да излезете от тука, ако не дойде и по-младият ви брат тука.
16 Send one of your group to go and get your younger brother and bring him here. I will put the rest of you in prison, in order that I may test what you have said to find out whether what you are telling me is true. If the one who goes does not bring your younger brother here, then, just as surely as the king lives, it will be clear that you are lying and that you are spies.”
Пратете един от вас да доведе брата ви; а вие ще останете затворени догде се проверят думите ви, дали говорите истина; и ако не, в името на Фараона, наистина вие сте шпиони.
17 Then Joseph put them all in prison for three days.
И ги постави под стража за три дена.
18 On the third day, Joseph went to the prison and said to them, “I am a man who fears that God [will punish me if I do not do what I promise]. So do what I tell you, and I will spare your lives.
А на третия ден Иосиф им рече: Това сторете и ще живеете, защото аз се боя от Бога:
19 If you are honest men, let one of your brothers stay here in prison, and the rest of you can take some grain back to your families who are very hungry because of the famine.
Ако сте честни, нека остане един от вашите братя в къщата, в която сте пазени; вие идете, закарайте жито за гладните си челяди,
20 But if you come back here again, you must bring your youngest brother to me, so that you can prove that what you told me is true, and as a result I will not have you executed.” So they agreed to do that.
па ми доведете най-младият си брат; така ще се докаже, че думите ви са истинни, и вие няма да умрете. И сториха така.
21 They said to each other, “It is surely because of what we did to our [younger] brother that (we are being punished/God is punishing us)! We saw that he [SYN] was very distressed when he pleaded with us not to harm him. But we did not pay any attention to him, and that is why we are having this trouble!”
И рекоха си един на друг: Наистина сме виновни за нашия брат, гдето видяхме мъката на душата му, когато ни се молеше и ние не го послушахме; затова ни постигна туй бедствие.
22 Reuben said to them, “I told you not to harm the boy [RHQ], but you did not pay attention to what I said! Now we are being (paid back/punished) for killing him [MTY]!”
А Рувим им отговори казвайки: Не ви ли говорих тия думи: Не съгрешавайте против детето, но вие не послушахте. Затова, вижте, кръвта му се изисква.
23 While they were talking with Joseph, they were speaking through (an interpreter/someone who knew their language and the Egyptian language), but when they said these things among themselves, they were speaking in their own language, and they did not know that Joseph could understand their language, and that he could understand what they were saying.
А те не знаеха, че Иосиф разбираше, защото говореха с него чрез преводач.
24 [Because of what they said, Joseph realized that they admitted that what they had done to him many years previously was wrong]. He could not keep from crying, [and he did not want them to see him crying], so he left them and went outside the room and began to cry. But then he returned to them and talked to them again. Then he took Simeon, and while they were watching, he told his servants to tie him up. He left Simeon in the prison and told the others that they could go.
И той се оттегли от тях и плака; после, като се върна при тях, говореше им; и взе измежду тях Симеона та го върза пред очите им.
25 Joseph told his servants to fill the men’s sacks with grain, but he also told them to put the money that each one had paid for the grain in the top of his sack. He also told them to give them food to eat along the way. After the servants did those things for Joseph’s older brothers,
Тогава Иосиф заповяда да напълнят съдовете им с жито, да върнат парите на всекиго в чувала му, и да им дадат храна за из пътя; и сториха им така.
26 his older brothers loaded the sacks of grain on their donkeys and left.
А те натовариха житото на ослите си и си тръгнаха от там.
27 At the place where they stopped to sleep that night, one of them opened his sack to get some grain for his donkey. He was amazed to see his money in the top of the sack.
Но когато един от тях развърза чувала си на мястото за пренощуване, за да даде храна на осела си, видя, че парите му бяха отгоре в чувала.
28 He exclaimed to his brothers, “Someone has returned my money! Here it is in my sack!” They started shaking with fear, and said to each other, “What is this that God has done to us?”
И рече на братята си: Парите ми са повърнати; наистина, вижте ги в чувала ми. Тогава сърцата им се ужасиха, и те се обръщаха с трепет един към друг и казваха: Що е това, което ни стори Бог?
29 When they returned to their father in Canaan land, they told him all that had happened to them. One of them said,
И като дойдоха при баща си Якова, в Ханаанската земя, разказаха му всичко, което им се бе случило.
30 “The man who governs the whole land of Egypt talked very harshly to us. He acted toward us as though we were spying on his country.
Рекоха: Човекът, който е господар на оная земя, ни говори грубо, и ни взе за човеци дошли да съгледат страната.
31 But we told him, ‘We are honest men! We are not spies.
Но ние му казахме: Честни човеци сме, не сме шпиони;
32 Originally there were twelve of us who were brothers, the sons of one father. One has died [EUP], and our youngest brother is with our father in Canaan.’
дванадесет братя сме, синове на един баща; единият се изгуби, а най-младият е днес при баща ни в Ханаанската земя.
33 The man who is the governor of the land [did not believe us], so he said to us, ‘This is how I will know if you are truly honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me. Then the rest of you can take some grain for your families that are starving from hunger and go.
И човекът, господарят на земята ни каза: Ето как ще позная дали сте честни: оставете един от вашите братя при мене и вземете жито за гладните си домочадия и си идете,
34 But when you return, bring your youngest brother to me, in order that I will know that you are not spies, but instead, that you are honest men. Then I will release your brother for you. And then you can buy whatever you want in this country.’”
па ми доведете най-младия си брат; тогава ще позная, че не сте шпиони, а сте честни, и ще пусна брата ви, и вие ще търгувате в тая земя.
35 As they were emptying their sacks, they were surprised that in each man’s sack was his pouch of money! When they and their father saw all the pouches of money, they were frightened.
А като изпразваха чувалите си, ето, на всеки възела с парите му беше в чувала му; и те и баща им се уплашиха като видяха възлите с парите си.
36 Their father Jacob said to them, “You have caused two of my children to be taken from me! Joseph is dead, and Simeon is gone! And now you want to take Benjamin from me! It is I who am suffering because of all these things that are happening!”
Тогава баща им Яков каза: Вие ме оставихте без чада; Иосифа няма, Симеона няма, а искате и Вениамина да заведете; върху мене падна всичко това!
37 Reuben said to his father, “I will be responsible for Benjamin. [I will take him to Egypt and] bring him back to you. Let me take care of him. If I do not bring Benjamin back to you, you may kill both of my sons.”
А Рувим, като говореше на баща си, рече: Убий двамата ми сина, ако не ти го доведа; предай го в моята ръка и аз пак ще ти го доведа.
38 But Jacob said, “No, I will not let my son go down there with you. His [older] brother is dead, and he is the only [one of my wife Rachel’s] sons who is left! If something harms him while you are traveling, you would cause me, a gray-haired old man, to die because of sorrow.” (Sheol h7585)
А Яков каза: Син ми няма да слезе с вас, защото брат му умря, и само той остана; ако му се случи нещастие по пътя, по който отивате, тогава ще свалите бялата ми коса със скръб в гроба. (Sheol h7585)
