Genesis 43
1 The famine in Canaan got worse.
А гладът ставаше голям по земята.
2 Finally, when Jacob and his family had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, Jacob said to them, “Go back to Egypt and buy some more grain for us!”
И като изядоха житото, което донесоха от Египет, баща им рече: Идете пак, купете ни малко храна.
3 But Judah said to him, “The man who sold us the grain warned us sternly, ‘I will not let you see me [SYN] again if you come and your younger brother is not with you.’
А Юда, като му говореше, каза: Човекът строго ни заръча, казвайки: Няма да видите лицето ми, ако брат ви не бъде с вас.
4 So, if you will send our younger brother with us, we will go down to Egypt and buy some grain for you.
Ако изпратиш брата ни с нас, ще слезем и ще ти купим храна;
5 But if you will not send him, we will not go down there, because that man said to us, ‘I will not let you see me again if your younger brother is not with you.’”
но ако не го изпратиш, няма да слезем; защото човекът ни рече: Няма да видите лицето ми, ако брат ви не бъде с вас.
6 Jacob asked, “Why did you cause me to have this trouble by telling the man that you had a younger brother?”
А Израил рече: Защо ми сторихте това зло та казахте на човека, че имате и друг брат?
7 One of them replied, “The man asked about us and about our family. He said, ‘Is your father still living? Do you have another brother?’ We had to answer his questions. (We could not know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’/How could we know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’)” [RHQ]
А те рекоха: Човекът разпита подробно за нас и за рода ни, като ни каза: Баща ви жив ли е още? имате ли и друг брат? И ние му отговорихме според тия негови думи. От где да знаем ние, че щеше да каже: Доведете брата си.
8 Then Judah said to his father Jacob, “Send the boy with me, and we will go immediately, in order that we and you and our children may get grain and not die from hunger.
Тогава, Юда рече на баща си, Израиля: Изпрати детето с мене, и да станем да отидем, за да живеем и да не измрем - и ние, ти и чадата ни.
9 I myself will guarantee that he will return. You can require me to do what I am promising [IDM]. If I do not bring him back to you safely, you can say forever that (I am to blame/it was my fault [that he did not return to you)].
Аз отговарям за него; от моята ръка го искай; ако не ти го доведа и него представя пред тебе, тогава нека съм виновен пред тебе за винаги.
10 If we had not (wasted so much time/waited so long), by now we could have gone there and returned two times!”
Понеже, ако не бяхме се бавили, без друго до сега бихме се върнали втори път.
11 Then their father Jacob said to them, “If there is no other way, do this: Put in your sacks some of the best things that are grown in this land, and take them down to the man as a gift. Take some balm/perfume and honey and spices and myrrh/ointment, some pistachio nuts, and almonds.
Тогава, баща им Израил каза: Ако е тъй, това сторете: вземете в съдовете си от най-хубавите плодове на нашата земя - малко балсама и малко мед, аромати и смирна, фъстъци и бадеми - та ги занесете подарък на човека;
12 Take twice as much money as you took the previous time, because you must return the silver that someone put in the tops of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake that it was put in your sacks.
вземете двойно повече пари в ръцете си, върнатите в чувалите ви пари, повърнете с ръцете си: може да е станало грешка.
13 Take your younger brother and go back to that man.
Вземете и брата си та станете и идете при човека.
14 I will pray that God Almighty will cause that man to act mercifully toward you, so that he will let your other brother, as well as Benjamin, come back here with you. But as for me, if my sons are taken from me, then I will not have my sons!”
А Бог Всемогъщи да ви даде да придобиете благоволението на човека, та да пусне другия ви брат и Вениамина. А аз, ако е речено да остана без чада, нека остана без чада.
15 So the men took the gifts that Jacob said that they should take, and twice the amount of money that the grain would cost, and they also took Benjamin. They went down quickly to Egypt, and they stood in front of Joseph.
Тогава човеците, като взеха тоя подарък, взеха двойно повече пари в ръцете си и Вениамина; и станаха та слязоха в Египет и представиха се на Иосифа.
16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the man who (was in charge of/supervised) things in his house, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare a meal, because I want them to eat with me at noon.” [And he told him in what order they were to be seated].
А Иосиф, като видя Вениамина с тях, рече на домакина си: Заведи тия човеци у дома ми и заколи каквото трябва и приготви; защото човеците ще обядват с мене на пладне.
17 The man did as Joseph said. And he took them to Joseph’s house.
И човекът стори, каквото поръча Иосиф, и той въведе човеците в Иосифовия дом.
18 But they were afraid because he was taking them to Joseph’s house. They were thinking, “He is taking us here because of the silver that was put in our sacks the first time that we came here. While we are eating, he will have his servants attack us and seize us and cause us to become his slaves, and also take our donkeys.”
А човеците се уплашиха, загдето ги поведоха в Иосифовия дом, и рекоха: Поради парите, върнати в чувалите ни първия път, ни повеждат, за да намери повод против нас, да ни нападне и да зароби нас и ослите ни.
19 They went with the man who was in charge of things in Joseph’s house. When they arrived at the entrance of the house,
Затова те се приближиха при Иосифовия домакин и говориха му при вратата на дома, казвайки:
20 one of them said to him, “Please, sir, listen to me. We came down here previously and bought some grain.
Послушай, господарю, слязохме първия път да си купим храна;
21 But at the place where we stopped for the night as we were returning home, we opened our sacks. We were astonished to see that in the top of each of our sacks was the exact amount of silver that we had paid for the grain! So we have brought it back with us.
а на връщане, когато дойдохме до мястото за пренощуване и отворихме чувалите си, ето, на всеки парите бяха в чувала му, парите ни напълно: затова ги донесохме обратно в ръцете си.
22 We have also brought more silver with us to buy more grain. We do not know who put the silver in our sacks.”
Донесохме и други пари в ръцете си, за да купим храна; не знаем, кой тури парите ни в чувалите ни.
23 The man replied, [“Relax]! Do not worry about it! I received the silver that you brought. Your God, the God your father worships, must have put it in your sacks.” And then he brought Simeon to them from the prison.
А той каза: Бъдете спокойни, не бойте се; Бог ваш и Бог на баща ви, ви даде скритото в чувалите ви съкровище; аз получих парите ви. Тогава изведе при тях Симеона.
24 Then he took them into Joseph’s house. He gave them water to wash their feet and gave them food for the donkeys.
И домакинът въведе човеците в Иосифовия дом и им даде вода та си умиха нозете; даде и храна за ослите им.
25 He told them that they were going to eat with Joseph at noon. So the men prepared their gifts to give to Joseph when he arrived.
А те приготвиха подаръка за Иосифа преди да дойде на пладне; защото чуха, че там щели да ядат хляб.
26 When Joseph came home, they presented to him the gifts that they had brought into the house. Then they bowed down to the ground in front of him.
И когато дойде Иосиф у дома, поднесоха му в къщи подаръка, който беше в ръцете им; и му се поклониха до земята.
27 He asked them if they were (well/in good health), and then he asked, “How is the health of your old father, the one that you told me about? Is he still living?”
И след като ги разпита за здравето им, рече: Здрав ли е баща ви, старецът, за когото ми говорехте? Жив ли е още?
28 One of them replied, “Yes, our father, [who is willing to be] your servant, is still alive, and he is well.” Then again they bowed down in front of him.
А те казаха: Здрав е слугата ти, баща ни, жив е още. И наведоха се та се поклониха.
29 Then he saw his [younger] brother Benjamin, his own mother’s other son. He asked them, “Is this your youngest brother, the one whom you told me about?” After they said “Yes,” he said to Benjamin, “Young man, I pray that God will act kindly toward you.”
И като подигна очи видя едноутробния си брат Вениамин и каза: Тоя ли е най-младият ви брат, за когото ми говорихте? И рече: Бог да бъде милостив към тебе, чадо мое.
30 Joseph quickly left the room. He realized that he was about to cry because he (was full of emotion about his younger brother/loved his younger brother so much). He went into his private room and cried there.
И Иосиф бързо се оттегли, защото сърцето му се развълнува за брат му; и като искаше да плаче, влезе в стаята си и плака там
31 Then, after he washed the tears from his face, he came out, and controlling his emotions, he said to the servants, “Serve the food!”
После уми лицето си и излезе и задържайки се рече: Сложете хляб.
32 The people of Egypt considered that it was disgraceful for them to eat with Hebrews, so the servants served food to Joseph by himself, and served the other people of Egypt who ate with him by themselves, and they served Joseph’s older brothers and younger brother by themselves.
И сложиха отделно на него, отделно за тях и отделно за египтяните, които ядяха с него; защото не биваше египтяните да ядат хляб с евреите, понеже това е гнусота за египтяните.
33 His brothers were astonished to see that their seats were arranged according to their ages, from the oldest to the youngest!
И насядаха пред него, първородният според първородството му, и най-младият според младостта му; и човеците се чудеха помежду си.
34 And when their portions of food were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as anyone else’s portion! So they ate food and drank wine with Joseph and became very cheerful.
И Иосиф им пращаше от ястията си; а Вениаминовият дял беше пет пъти по-голям от дела на когото и да било от тях. И те пиха, пиха изобилно с него.
