Genesis 43
1 The famine in Canaan got worse.
Ali glad bješe vrlo velika u onoj zemlji.
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!”
Pa kad pojedoše žito koje bijahu donijeli iz Misira, reèe im otac: idite opet, i kupite nam malo hrane.
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.’
A Juda mu progovori i reèe: tvrdo nam se zarekao onaj èovjek govoreæi: neæete vidjeti lica mojega, ako ne bude s vama brat vaš.
4 So, if you will send our younger brother with us, we will go down to Egypt and buy some grain for you.
Ako æeš pustiti s nama brata našega, iæi æemo i kupiæemo ti hrane.
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.’”
Ako li neæeš pustiti, neæemo iæi, jer nam je kazao onaj èovjek: neæete vidjeti lica mojega, ako ne bude s vama brat vaš.
6 Jacob asked, “Why did you cause me to have this trouble by telling the man that you had a younger brother?”
A Izrailj reèe: što mi to zlo uèiniste i kazaste èovjeku da imate još jednoga brata?
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]
A oni rekoše: èovjek je potanko raspitivao za nas i za rod naš govoreæi: je li vam jošte živ otac? imate li još braæe? a mi mu odgovarasmo kako nas pitaše. Jesmo li mogli kako znati da æe kazati: dovedite brata svojega?
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.
I reèe Juda Izrailju ocu svojemu: pusti dijete sa mnom, pa æemo se podignuti i otiæi, da ostanemo živi i ne pomremo i mi i ti i naša djeca.
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)].
Ja ti se jamèim za nj, iz moje ga ruke išti; ako ti ga ne dovedem natrag i preda te ne stavim, da sam ti kriv dovijeka.
10 If we had not (wasted so much time/waited so long), by now we could have gone there and returned two times!”
Da nijesmo toliko oklijevali, do sada bismo se dva puta vratili.
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.
Onda reèe Izrailj otac njihov: kad je tako, uèinite ovo: uzmite što najljepše ima u ovoj zemlji u svoje vreæe, i ponesite èovjeku onom dar: malo tamjana i malo meda, mirisava korijenja i smirne, urme i badema.
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.
A novaca ponesite dvojinom, i uzmite novce što bijahu ozgo u vreæama vašim i odnesite natrag, može biti da je pogrješka.
13 Take your younger brother and go back to that man.
I uzmite brata svojega, pa ustanite i idite opet k onom èovjeku.
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!”
A Bog svemoguæi da vam da da naðete milost u onoga èovjeka, da vam pusti brata vašega drugoga i Venijamina; ako li ostanem bez djece, nek ostanem bez djece.
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.
Tada uzevši dare i novaca dvojinom, uzevši i Venijamina, podigoše se i otidoše u Misir, i izaðoše pred Josifa.
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].
A Josif kad vidje s njima Venijamina, reèe èovjeku koji upravljaše kuæom njegovom: odvedi ove ljude u kuæu, pa nakolji mesa i zgotovi, jer æe u podne sa mnom jesti ovi ljudi.
17 The man did as Joseph said. And he took them to Joseph’s house.
I uèini èovjek kako Josif reèe, i uvede ljude u kuæu Josifovu.
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.”
A oni se bojahu kad ih èovjek voðaše u kuæu Josifovu, i rekoše: za novce koji preðe bjehu metnuti u vreæe naše vodi nas, dokle smisli kako æe nas okriviti, da nas zarobi i uzme naše magarce.
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,
Pa pristupivši k èovjeku koji upravljaše kuæom Josifovom, progovoriše mu na vratima kuænim,
20 one of them said to him, “Please, sir, listen to me. We came down here previously and bought some grain.
I rekoše: èuj, gospodaru; došli smo bili i preðe, i kupismo hrane;
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.
Pa kad doðosmo u jednu gostionicu i otvorismo vreæe, a to novci svakoga nas bijahu ozgo u vreæi njegovoj, novci naši na mjeru; i evo smo ih donijeli natrag;
22 We have also brought more silver with us to buy more grain. We do not know who put the silver in our sacks.”
A druge smo novce donijeli da kupimo hrane; ne znamo ko nam metnu novce naše u vreæe.
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.
A on im reèe: budite mirni, ne bojte se; Bog vaš i Bog oca vašega metnuo je blago u vreæe vaše; novci su vaši bili u mene. I izvede im Simeuna.
24 Then he took them into Joseph’s house. He gave them water to wash their feet and gave them food for the donkeys.
I uvede ih èovjek u kuæu Josifovu, i donese im vode te opraše noge, i magarcima njihovijem položi.
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.
I pripraviše dar èekajuæi dokle doðe Josif u podne, jer èuše da æe oni ondje objedovati.
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.
I kad Josif doðe kuæi, iznesoše mu dar koji imahu kod sebe, i pokloniše mu se do zemlje.
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?”
A on ih zapita kako su, i reèe: kako je otac vaš stari, za koga mi govoriste? je li jošte živ?
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.
A oni rekoše: dobro je sluga tvoj, otac naš; još je živ. I pokloniše mu se.
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.”
A on pogledav vidje Venijamina brata svojega, sina matere svoje, i reèe: je li vam to najmlaði brat vaš za kojega mi govoriste? I reèe: Bog da ti bude milostiv, sinko!
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.
A Josifu goraše srce od ljubavi prema bratu svojemu, te brže potraži gdje æe plakati, i ušav u jednu sobu plaka ondje.
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!”
Poslije umiv se izaðe, i ustežuæi se reèe: dajte objed.
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.
I donesoše njemu napose, i njima napose, i Misircima koji objedovahu u njega napose, jer ne mogahu Misirci jesti s Jevrejima, jer je to neèisto Misircima.
33 His brothers were astonished to see that their seats were arranged according to their ages, from the oldest to the youngest!
A sjeðahu pred njim stariji po starješinstvu svojem a mlaði po mladosti svojoj. I zgledahu se od èuda.
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.
I uzimajuæi jela ispred sebe slaše njima, i Venijaminu dopade pet puta više nego drugima. I piše i napiše se s njim.
