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!”
Yakup Mısır'da buğday olduğunu öğrenince, oğullarına, “Neden birbirinize bakıp duruyorsunuz?” dedi,
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!”
“Mısır'da buğday olduğunu duydum. Gidin, satın alın ki, yaşayalım, yoksa öleceğiz.”
3 So Joseph’s ten [older] brothers went down to Egypt to buy some grain.
Böylece Yusuf'un on kardeşi buğday almak için Mısır'a gittiler.
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.
Ancak Yakup Yusuf'un kardeşi Benyamin'i onlarla birlikte göndermedi, çünkü oğlunun başına bir şey gelmesinden korkuyordu.
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.
Buğday satın almaya gelenler arasında İsrail'in oğulları da vardı. Çünkü Kenan ülkesinde de kıtlık hüküm sürüyordu.
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.
Yusuf ülkenin yöneticisiydi, herkese o buğday satıyordu. Kardeşleri gelip onun önünde yere kapandılar.
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.”
Yusuf kardeşlerini görünce tanıdı. Ama onlara yabancı gibi davranarak sert konuştu: “Nereden geliyorsunuz?” “Kenan ülkesinden” diye yanıtladılar, “Yiyecek satın almaya geldik.”
8 Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.
Yusuf kardeşlerini tanıdıysa da kardeşleri onu tanımadılar.
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]!”
Yusuf onlarla ilgili düşlerini anımsayarak, “Siz casussunuz” dedi, “Ülkenin zayıf noktalarını öğrenmeye geldiniz.”
10 One of them replied, “No, sir! We have come to buy grain.
“Aman, efendim” diye karşılık verdiler, “Biz kulların yalnızca yiyecek satın almaya geldik.
11 We are all sons of one man. We are honest men, not spies.”
Hepimiz aynı babanın çocuklarıyız. Biz kulların dürüst insanlarız, casus değiliz.”
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!”
Yusuf, “Hayır!” dedi, “Siz ülkenin zayıf noktalarını öğrenmeye geldiniz.”
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]”
Kardeşleri, “Biz kulların on iki kardeşiz” dediler, “Hepimiz Kenan ülkesinde yaşayan aynı babanın çocuklarıyız. En küçüğümüz babamızın yanında kaldı, biri de kayboldu.”
14 Joseph replied, “[You are lying! I think] it is just as I told you. You are spies!
Yusuf, “Söylediğim gibi” dedi, “Casussunuz siz.
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!
Sizi sınayacağım. Firavunun başına ant içerim. Küçük kardeşiniz de gelmedikçe, buradan ayrılamazsınız.
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.”
Aranızdan birini gönderin, kardeşinizi getirsin. Geri kalanlarınız göz altına alınacak. Anlattıklarınız doğru mu, değil mi, sizi sınayacağız. Değilse, firavunun başına ant içerim ki casussunuz.”
17 Then Joseph put them all in prison for three days.
Üç gün onları göz altında tuttu.
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.
Üçüncü gün, “Bir koşulla canınızı bağışlarım” dedi, “Ben Tanrı'dan korkarım.
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.
Dürüst olduğunuzu kanıtlamak için, içinizden biri göz altında tutulduğunuz evde kalsın, ötekiler gidip aç kalan ailenize buğday götürsün.
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.
Sonra küçük kardeşinizi bana getirin. Böylece anlattıklarınızın doğru olup olmadığı ortaya çıkar, ölümden kurtulursunuz.” Kabul ettiler.
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!”
Birbirlerine, “Besbelli kardeşimize yaptığımızın cezasını çekiyoruz” dediler, “Bize yalvardığında nasıl sıkıntı çektiğini gördük, ama dinlemedik. Bu sıkıntı onun için başımıza geldi.”
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]!”
Ruben, “Çocuğa zarar vermeyin diye sizi uyarmadım mı?” dedi, “Ama dinlemediniz. İşte şimdi kanının hesabı soruluyor.”
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.
Yusuf'un konuştuklarını anladığını farketmediler, çünkü onunla çevirmen aracılığıyla konuşuyorlardı.
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.
Yusuf kardeşlerinden ayrılıp ağlamaya başladı. Sonra dönüp onlarla konuştu. Aralarından Şimon'u alarak ötekilerin gözleri önünde bağladı.
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,
Sonra torbalarına buğday doldurulmasını, paralarının torbalarına geri konulmasını, yol için kendilerine azık verilmesini buyurdu. Bunlar yapıldıktan sonra
26 his older brothers loaded the sacks of grain on their donkeys and left.
buğdayları eşeklerine yükleyip oradan ayrıldılar.
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.
Konakladıkları yerde içlerinden biri eşeğine yem vermek için torbasını açınca parasını gördü. Para torbanın ağzına konmuştu.
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?”
Kardeşlerine, “Paramı geri vermişler” diye seslendi, “İşte torbamda!” Yürekleri yerinden oynadı. Titreyerek birbirlerine, “Tanrı'nın bize bu yaptığı nedir?” dediler.
29 When they returned to their father in Canaan land, they told him all that had happened to them. One of them said,
Kenan ülkesine, babaları Yakup'un yanına varınca, başlarına gelenleri ona anlattılar:
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.
“Mısır'ın yöneticisi bizimle sert konuştu. Bize casusmuşuz gibi davrandı.
31 But we told him, ‘We are honest men! We are not spies.
Ona, ‘Biz dürüst insanlarız’ dedik, ‘Casus değiliz.
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.’
Hepimiz aynı babanın çocuklarıyız. On iki kardeşiz; biri kayboldu, en küçüğü de Kenan ülkesinde, babamızın yanında.’
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.
“Ülkenin yöneticisi, ‘Dürüst olduğunuzu şöyle anlayabilirim’ dedi, ‘Kardeşlerinizden birini yanımda bırakın, buğdayı alıp aç kalan ailelerinize götürün.
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.’”
Küçük kardeşinizi de bana getirin. O zaman casus olmadığınızı, dürüst insanlar olduğunuzu anlar, kardeşinizi size geri veririm. Ülkede ticaret yapabilirsiniz.’”
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.
Torbalarını boşaltınca, hepsi para kesesini torbasında buldu. Para keselerini görünce hem kendileri hem babaları korkuya kapıldı.
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!”
Yakup, “Beni çocuklarımdan yoksun bırakıyorsunuz” dedi, “Yusuf yok, Şimon yok. Şimdi de Benyamin'i götürmek istiyorsunuz. Sıkıntıyı çeken hep benim.”
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.”
Ruben babasına, “Benyamin'i geri getirmezsem, iki oğlumu öldür” dedi, “Onu bana teslim et, ben sana geri getireceğim.”
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)
Ama Yakup, “Oğlumu sizinle göndermeyeceğim” dedi, “Çünkü kardeşi öldü, yalnız o kaldı. Yolda ona bir zarar gelirse, bu acıyla ak saçlı başımı ölüler diyarına götürürsünüz.” (Sheol h7585)
