Genesis 44
1 When his brothers were ready to return home, Joseph said to the man who was in charge of things in his house, “Fill the sacks of those men with as much grain as they can carry [on their donkeys]. And put in the top of each man’s sack the silver that he paid for the grain.
Un viņš pavēlēja tam, kas bija pār viņa namu, un sacīja: pildi to vīru maisus ar labību, cik tie var nest, un liec ikviena naudu viņa maisa virsgalā.
2 Then put my silver cup in the top of the youngest brother’s sack, along with the silver that he paid for the grain.” So the servant did what Joseph told him to do.
Un manu biķeri, to sudraba biķeri, liec tam jaunākam maisa virsgalā, arī viņa labības naudu. Un tas darīja pēc Jāzepa vārda, ko viņš bija sacījis.
3 The next morning at dawn the men started on the way home with their donkeys.
Rītā, gaismai austot, tie vīri tapa atlaisti līdz ar saviem ēzeļiem.
4 When they had not gone far from the city, Joseph said to the servant in charge of things in his house, “Pursue those men immediately. When you catch up to them, say to them, ‘We did good things for you! Why have you paid us back by doing something bad to us?
Bet tiem no pilsētas izejot un tāli vēl neesot, Jāzeps sacīja savam nama uzraugam: celies, dzenies tiem vīriem pakaļ, un tos panācis saki tiem: kādēļ esat atmaksājuši labu ar ļaunu?
5 [You have stolen the cup] that my master drinks from [RHQ]! It is the cup that he uses to find out things that nobody knows! What you did was very wicked!’”
Vai šis nav tas, no kā mans kungs dzer? Un no tā viņš mēdz padzert. Jūs esat ļaunu darījuši, to darīdami.
6 The servant [left immediately and] when he caught up with them, he told them what Joseph had told him to say.
Un tas viņus panāca un viņiem sacīja šos vārdus.
7 But one of them replied to him, “Sir, why do you say such things? We are your servants, and we would never do anything like that!
Tad viņi uz to sacīja: kāpēc mans kungs runā tādus vārdus? Ne mūžam tavi kalpi tādu darbu nedarīs.
8 We even brought back to you from Canaan land the silver that we found inside the tops of our sacks! So (we certainly would not steal silver or gold from your master’s house!/Why would we steal silver or gold from your master’s house?) [RHQ]
Redzi, to naudu, ko esam atraduši savu maisu virsgalā, mēs tev atkal esam atnesuši no Kanaāna zemes, - kā tad mēs zagsim no tava kunga nama sudrabu vai zeltu?
9 If you discover that any of us has that cup, you can execute him, and the rest of us will become your slaves.”
Pie kura no taviem kalpiem to atradīs, tas lai mirst, un mēs arī gribam būt par vergiem savam kungam.
10 The man replied, “Okay, I will do what you say. But the one who has the cup will not be executed. Instead, he will become my slave, and the rest of you may return home.”
Un viņš sacīja: lai nu arī notiek pēc jūsu vārdiem: pie kura to atradīs, tas būs mans vergs, bet jūs būsiet svabadi.
11 Each of the men quickly lowered his sack down from the donkey to the ground and opened it.
Un tie steidzās un nocēla ikviens savu maisu zemē, un ikviens atraisīja savu maisu.
12 Then the servant started to search for the cup in each sack. He started with the oldest brother’s sack and ended with the youngest one’s sack. And he found the cup in Benjamin’s sack and showed it to them.
Un viņš pārmeklēja no tā vecākā iesākdams un pie tā jaunākā beigdams, un tas biķeris tapa atrasts Benjamina maisā.
13 The brothers tore their clothes [because they were so dismayed]. They loaded the sacks on the donkeys again and returned to the city.
Tad tie saplēsa savas drēbes un apkrāva ikviens savu ēzeli un griezās atpakaļ uz pilsētu.
14 When Judah and his [older and younger] brothers entered Joseph’s house, Joseph was still there. The servant told Joseph what had happened. Then the brothers threw themselves down on the ground in front of Joseph.
Un Jūda ar saviem brāļiem nāca Jāzepa namā, jo šis tur vēl bija, un tie nometās priekš viņa vaiga pie zemes.
15 He said to them, “Why did you do this? Do you not know that a man like me can find out things that nobody knows?” [RHQ]
Un Jāzeps uz tiem sacīja: kas tas par darbu, ko jūs esat darījuši? Vai nezinājāt, ka tāds vīrs, kā es, tiešām to paredzēs?
16 Judah replied, “Sir, what can we say? How can we prove that we (are innocent/did not steal the cup)? God has (paid us back/punished us) for the sins [we committed many years ago]. So now we will become your slaves—both we and the one in whose sack the cup was found.”
Tad Jūda sacīja: ko lai sakām savam kungam, ko lai runājam un kā lai taisnojamies? Dievs tavu kalpu noziegumu ir atradis, redzi, mēs esam sava kunga vergi, - tā mēs, kā arī tas, pie kā tas biķeris atrasts.
17 But Joseph replied, “No, I could never do anything like that. Only the man in whose sack the cup was found will become my slave. The rest of you can return to your father peacefully.”
Tad viņš sacīja: nemūžam es to nedarīšu; tas vīrs, pie kā tas biķeris atrasts, tam būs man būt par vergu. Bet jūs ejat ar mieru pie sava tēva.
18 Then Judah came near to Joseph and said, “Sir, please let me say something to you. You are equal to the king himself, so you could command that I be executed; but do not be angry with me for speaking to you.
Tad Jūda pie tā piegāja un sacīja: ak mans kungs! Lūdzams, lai tavs kalps runā kādu vārdu priekš sava kunga ausīm, un neapskaities par savu kalpu, jo tu esi tik augsts kā Faraons.
19 You asked us, ‘Is your father still living, and do you have another brother?’
Mans kungs vaicāja savus kalpus un sacīja: vai jums ir tēvs vai brālis?
20 We answered, ‘Our father is alive, but he is an old man. He has a young son who was born after our father became an old man. That son had an [older] brother, who is now dead. So the youngest son is the only one of his mother’s sons who is still alive, and his father loves him very much.’
Tad mēs sacījām savam kungam: mums ir vecs tēvs un viens zēns, kas tam vecumā dzimis, tas jaunākais, un viņa brālis ir miris, un tas ir viens pats no savas mātes atlicis, un viņa tēvs viņu mīļo.
21 Then you said to us, ‘The next time you come here, bring your younger brother down to me, so that I can see him.’
Tad tu sacīji saviem kalpiem: atvediet to pie manis, lai manas acis viņu redz.
22 We said to you, ‘No, we cannot do that, because the boy cannot leave his father. If he leaves his father, his father will die from sorrow.’
Tad mēs sacījām uz savu kungu: tas zēns savu tēvu nevar atstāt; ja tas atstās savu tēvu, tad šis mirs.
23 But you told us, ‘If your youngest brother does not come back with you, I will not let you see me again!’
Tad tu saviem kalpiem sacīji: ja jūsu jaunākais brālis ar jums neatnāk, tad jūs manu vaigu vairs neredzēsiet.
24 When we returned to our father, we told him what you said.
Un kad mēs nācām pie tava kalpa, sava tēva, un viņam sacījām sava kunga vārdus,
25 [Months later] our father said, ‘Go back to Egypt and buy some more grain!’
Tad mūsu tēvs sacīja: noejat atkal, pērciet mums ēdama kādu mazumu.
26 But we said, ‘We cannot go back by ourselves. We will go only if our youngest brother is with us. We will not be able to see the man who sells grain if our youngest brother is not with us.’
Tad sacījām: mēs nevaram noiet: ja mūsu jaunākais brālis mums ir līdz, tad mēs noiesim. Jo mēs nevaram tā vīra vaigu redzēt, ja šis mūsu jaunākais brālis nav mums līdz.
27 Our father replied, ‘You know that my wife [Rachel] gave birth to two sons for me.
Tad tavs kalps, mans tēvs, mums sacīja: jūs zināt, ka mana sieva man divus dēlus dzemdējusi.
28 One of them disappeared, and I said, “A wild animal has surely torn him to pieces.” And I have not seen him since then.
Un tas viens ir no manis aizgājis, un es sacīju, tiešām tas ir saplosīts, un es to vairs neesmu redzējis.
29 I am an old gray-haired man. If you take this other one from me, too, and something harms him, you would cause me to die because of my sorrow.’ (Sheol h7585)
Ja tad jūs arī šo paņemsiet no manām acīm un tam kāda nelaime uzies, tad jūs manus sirmos matus ar sirdēstiem novedīsiet kapā. (Sheol h7585)
30 “So please listen. My father will remain alive only if his youngest son remains alive.
Tad nu, kad es nākšu pie tava kalpa, sava tēva, un tas zēns mums nebūs līdz, jo tā tēva dvēsele viņa dvēselei sietin piesieta,
31 If he sees that the boy is not with us when we return to him, he will die. We will cause our gray-haired father to die because of his sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Tad notiks, kad tas redzēs, ka tā zēna nav, tad tas mirs, un tavi kalpi novedīs tava kalpa, mana tēva, sirmos matus ar sirdēstiem kapā. (Sheol h7585)
32 I guaranteed/promised to my father that the boy would return safely. I told him, ‘You can require me to do what I am promising. If I do not bring him back to you, you can say forever that (I am to blame/it is my fault) [for not bringing him back to you].’
Jo tavs kalps ir galvojis par to zēnu pie sava tēva, un sacījis: ja es viņu tev atpakaļ neatvedīšu, tad visu savu mūžu es gribu būt noziedzīgs sava tēva priekšā.
33 “So, please let me remain here as your slave instead of my youngest brother, and let the boy return home with his other older brothers.
Un nu lai jel tavs kalps tā zēna vietā paliek par sava kunga vergu, un lai tas zēns aiziet ar saviem brāļiem.
34 (I cannot return to my father if the boy is not with me!/How can I return to my father if the boy is not with me?) [RHQ] I do not want to see how miserable/sad my father would become!”
Jo kā es varētu iet pie sava tēva, ja tas zēns man nebūtu līdz? - Man būtu jāredz tie sirdēsti, kas manam tēvam uzies.
