< 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!”
Кынд а аузит Иаков кэ есте грыу ын Еӂипт, а зис фиилор сэй: „Пентру че стаць ши вэ уйтаць уний ла алций?”
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!”
Ши а зис: „Ятэ, ауд кэ есте грыу ын Еӂипт; коборыци-вэ ши кумпэраци-не грыу де аколо, ка сэ трэим ши сэ ну мурим.”
3 So Joseph’s ten [older] brothers went down to Egypt to buy some grain.
Зече фраць ай луй Иосиф с-ау коборыт ын Еӂипт ка сэ кумпере грыу.
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.
Иаков н-а тримис ку ей пе Бениамин, фрателе луй Иосиф, де тямэ сэ ну и се ынтымпле врео ненорочире.
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.
Фиий луй Исраел ау венит сэ кумпере ши ей грыу, ымпреунэ ку чей че веняу пентру ачелашь лукру, кэч ын Канаан ера фоамете.
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.
Иосиф ера май-маре ын царэ; ел виндя грыу ла тот попорул дин царэ. Фраций луй Иосиф ау венит ши с-ау арункат ку фаца ла пэмынт ынаинтя луй.
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.”
Иосиф, кум а вэзут пе фраций сэй, й-а куноскут, дар с-а фэкут кэ ле есте стрэин, ле-а ворбит аспру ши ле-а зис: „Де унде вениць?” Ей ау рэспунс: „Веним дин цара Канаан ка сэ кумпэрэм меринде.”
8 Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.
Иосиф а куноскут пе фраций сэй, дар ей ну л-ау куноскут.
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]!”
Иосиф шь-а адус аминте де виселе пе каре ле висасе ку привире ла ей ши ле-а зис: „Вой сунтець искоаде; аць венит нумай ка сэ черчетаць локуриле слабе але цэрий.”
10 One of them replied, “No, sir! We have come to buy grain.
Ей й-ау рэспунс: „Ну, домнул меу, робий тэй ау венит сэ кумпере хранэ.
11 We are all sons of one man. We are honest men, not spies.”
Ной тоць сунтем фиий ачелуяшь ом; сунтем оамень де трябэ, робий тэй ну сунт искоаде.”
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!”
Ел ле-а зис: „Ба ну, аць венит сэ черчетаць локуриле слабе але цэрий.”
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]”
Ей ау рэспунс: „Ной, робий тэй, сунтем дойспрезече фраць, фий ай ачелуяшь ом, дин цара Канаан; ши, ятэ, чел май тынэр есте азь ку татэл ностру, яр унул ну май есте ын вяцэ.”
14 Joseph replied, “[You are lying! I think] it is just as I told you. You are spies!
Иосиф ле-а зис: „В-ам спус кэ сунтець искоаде.
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!
Ятэ кум вець фи ынчеркаць. Пе вяца луй Фараон кэ ну вець еши де аич пынэ ну ва вени фрателе востру чел тынэр!
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.”
Тримитець пе унул дин вой сэ адукэ пе фрателе востру, яр вой рэмынець ла опрялэ. Кувинтеле воастре вор фи пусе астфел ла ынчеркаре ши вой шти дакэ адевэрул есте ку вой сау ну; алтфел, пе вяца луй Фараон кэ сунтець ниште искоаде.”
17 Then Joseph put them all in prison for three days.
Ши й-а арункат пе тоць трей зиле ын темницэ.
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 трея зи, Иосиф ле-а зис: „Фачець лукрул ачеста, ши вець трэи. Еу мэ тем де Думнезеу!
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.
Дакэ сунтець оамень де трябэ, сэ рэмынэ унул дин фраций воштри ынкис ын темница воастрэ, яр чейлалць плекаць, луаць грыу ка сэ вэ хрэниць фамилииле
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.
ши адучеци-мь пе фрателе востру чел тынэр, пентру ка ворбеле воастре сэ фие пусе астфел ла ынчеркаре ши сэ скэпаць де моарте.” Ши аша ау фэкут.
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!”
Ей ау зис атунч унул кэтре алтул: „Да, ам фост виноваць фацэ де фрателе ностру, кэч ам вэзут нелиништя суфлетулуй луй кынд не руга, ши ну л-ам аскултат! Пентру ачея вине песте ной неказул ачеста.”
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]!”
Рубен а луат кувынтул ши ле-а зис: „Ну вэ спуням еу сэ ну фачець о астфел де нелеӂюире фацэ де бэятул ачеста? Дар н-аць аскултат. Акум ятэ кэ ни се чере сокотялэ пентру сынӂеле луй.”
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.
Ей ну штияу кэ Иосиф ый ынцелеӂя, кэч ворбя ку ей принтр-ун тэлмачь.
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.
Иосиф а плекат ла о парте де ла ей ка сэ плынгэ. Ын урмэ с-а ынторс ши ле-а ворбит, апой а луат динтре ей пе Симеон ши а пус сэ-л леӂе ку ланцурь ын фаца лор.
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,
Иосиф а порунчит сэ ли се умпле сачий ку грыу, сэ пунэ арӂинтул фиекэруя ын сакул луй ши сэ ли се дя меринде пентру друм. Ши аша с-а фэкут.
26 his older brothers loaded the sacks of grain on their donkeys and left.
Ей шь-ау ынкэркат грыул пе мэгарь ши ау плекат.
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.
Унул динтре ей шь-а дескис сакул ка сэ дя нутрец мэгарулуй ын локул унде ау рэмас песте ноапте. А вэзут арӂинтул ла гура сакулуй
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?”
ши а зис фрацилор сэй: „Арӂинтул меу ми с-а дат ынапой ши ятэ-л ын сакул меу.” Атунч ли с-а тэят инима ши ау зис унул алтуя, тремурынд: „Че не-а фэкут Думнезеу?”
29 When they returned to their father in Canaan land, they told him all that had happened to them. One of them said,
С-ау ынторс ла татэл лор Иаков, ын цара Канаан, ши й-ау историсит тот че ли се ынтымпласе. Ей ау зис:
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.
„Омул ачела, каре есте домнул цэрий, не-а ворбит аспру ши не-а луат дрепт искоаде.
31 But we told him, ‘We are honest men! We are not spies.
Ной й-ам спус: ‘Сунтем оамень де трябэ, ну сунтем искоаде.
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.’
Сунтем дойспрезече фраць, фий ай татэлуй ностру; унул ну май есте, ши чел май тынэр есте азь ку татэл ностру ын цара Канаан.’
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.
Ши омул ачела, каре есте домнул цэрий, не-а зис: ‘Ятэ кум вой куноаште дакэ сунтець оамень де трябэ. Лэсаць ла мине пе унул дин фраций воштри, луаць меринде пентру фамилииле воастре, плекаць
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.’”
ши адучеци-мь пе фрателе востру чел тынэр. Вой шти астфел кэ ну сунтець искоаде, чи сунтець оамень де трябэ; апой вэ вой да ынапой пе фрателе востру ши вець путя сэ стрэбатець цара ын вое.’”
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.
Кынд шь-ау голит сачий, ятэ кэ легэтура ку арӂинтул фиекэруя ера ын сакул луй. Ей ши татэл лор ау вэзут легэтуриле ку арӂинтул ши с-ау темут.
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!”
Татэл лор Иаков ле-а зис: „Вой мэ липсиць де копий: Иосиф ну май есте, Симеон ну май есте ши воиць сэ луаць ши пе Бениамин. Тоате ачестя пе мине мэ ловеск!”
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.”
Рубен а зис татэлуй сэу: „Сэ-мь оморь пе амындой фиий мей дакэ ну-ць вой адуче ынапой пе Бениамин; дэ-л ын мына мя ши ци-л вой адуче ынапой.”
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)
Иаков а зис: „Фиул меу ну се поате коборы ымпреунэ ку вой; кэч фрателе луй а мурит ши ел а рэмас сингур; дакэ и с-ар ынтымпла врео ненорочире ын кэлэтория пе каре о фачець, ку дурере ымь вець коборы перий мей чей албь ын Локуинца морцилор.” (Sheol h7585)
