Genesis 44
1 Joseph commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's opening.
Onda Josip naredi upravitelju svoga kućanstva: “Napuni vreće ovih ljudi hranom koliko mogu ponijeti, a novac svakog stavi u grlo njegove vreće.
2 Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's opening of the youngest, and also his money for the grain.” The steward did as Joseph had said.
A moj pehar - onaj od srebra - stavi u grlo vreće najmlađega, zajedno s njegovim novcem za žito.” On učini kako mu je Josip naredio.
3 The morning dawned, and the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
Kad je svanulo, otpreme ljude i njihove magarce.
4 When they were out of the city but were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Get up, follow after the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, 'Why have you returned evil for good?
Tek što su izišli iz grada - nisu bili odmakli daleko - kad Josip reče upravitelju svoga kućanstva: “Na noge! Pođi za onim ljudima! Kad ih stigneš, kaži im: 'Zašto uzvraćate zlo za dobro?
5 Is this not the cup from which my master drinks, and the cup that he uses for divination? You have done evil, this thing that you have done.'”
Zar iz onog pehara ne pije moj gospodar i ne čita iz njega proricanje? Zlo ste učinili!'”
6 The steward overtook them and spoke these words to them.
Stigavši ih, ponovi im te riječi.
7 They said to him, “Why does my master speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they would do such a thing.
Oni odgovore: “Zašto nam gospodar govori tako? Daleko bilo od slugu tvojih da učine takvo što!
8 Look, the money that we found in our sacks' openings, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then could we steal out of your master's house silver or gold?
Čak i novac koji smo našli u svojim vrećama donijeli smo ti natrag iz zemlje kanaanske. Kako bismo onda mogli ukrasti srebra ili zlata iz kuće tvoga gospodara!
9 With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my master's slaves.”
Onaj u koga se od tvojih slugu nađe, neka se usmrti, a mi drugi postat ćemo robovi tvome gospodaru.”
10 The steward said, “Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom the cup is found will be my slave, and you others will be innocent.”
“Premda je ono što predlažeš pravo”, preuzme on, “ipak će samo onaj u koga se ukradeno pronađe biti moj rob, a ostali bit ćete slobodni.”
11 Then each man hurried and brought his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
Brže spustiše vreće na zemlju i svaki svoju otvori.
12 The steward searched. He began with the oldest and finished with the youngest, and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
On je pretraživao, počevši s najstarijim i završivši s najmlađim. Pehar se nađe u Benjaminovoj vreći.
13 Then they tore their clothes. Each man loaded his donkey and returned to the city.
Nato oni razdru svoje haljine; svaki ponovo natovari svoga magarca i vrate se u grad.
14 Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house. He was still there, and they bowed before him to the ground.
Kad su Juda i njegova braća ponovo stupili u Josipov dom, još je on bio ondje. Bace se preda nj na zemlju.
15 Joseph said to them, “What is this that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me practices divination?”
Onda im Josip reče: “Kakvo je to djelo što ste ga učinili? Zar ne znate da se čovjek kao što sam ja bavi proricanjem?”
16 Judah said, “What can we say to my master? What can we speak? Or how can we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Look, we are my master's slaves, both we and he also in whose hand the cup was found.”
Nato Juda odgovori: “Što bismo mogli reći svome gospodaru? Što možemo kazati, čime li se opravdati? Bog je otkrio zlodjelo tvojih slugu. Evo nas za robove svome gospodaru - jednako nas kao i onog u koga se našao pehar.”
17 Joseph said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup was found, that person will be my slave, but as for you others, go up in peace to your father.”
“Daleko od mene da učinim tako!” - odgovori. “Nego, onaj u koga se našao pehar bit će moj rob, a vi drugi pođite mirno k svome ocu!”
18 Then Judah came near to him and said, “My master, please let your servant speak a word in my master's ears, and do let your anger burn against your servant, for you are just like Pharaoh.
Onda mu se Juda primače i reče: “Gospodaru moj, molim te, dopusti sluzi svojem da rekne riječ ušima gospodara svojega i neka se tvoja srdžba ne razlijeva na tvog slugu. TÓa ti si ravan faraonu.
19 My master asked his servants, saying, 'Do you have a father or a brother?'
Pitao je moj gospodar svoje sluge: 'Imate li oca ili još kojega brata?'
20 We said to my master, 'We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one. But his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him.'
Svome smo gospodaru odgovorili: 'Imamo stara oca; on još ima jednog sina, rođena u njegovoj staračkoj dobi. Taj je najmlađi. Njegov je pravi brat umro, tako da je on jedini ostao od svoje majke. Njegov ga otac osobito voli.'
21 Then you said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me that I may see him.'
Potom si rekao svojim slugama: 'Dovedite mi ga ovamo da ga vide moje oči?'
22 After that, we said to my master, 'The boy cannot leave his father. For if he should leave his father his father would die.'
A mi smo odgovorili svome gospodaru: 'Dječak ne može ostaviti oca; kad bi ga ostavio, njegov bi otac umro.'
23 Then you said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.'
Nato si rekao svojim slugama: 'Ako vaš najmlađi brat s vama ne dođe ovamo, više ne smijete preda me.'
24 Then it came about when we went up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my master.
Kad smo se vratili tvome sluzi, ocu mome, kazali smo mu riječi moga gospodara.
25 Our father said, 'Go again, buy us some food.'
Naš nam je otac rekao: 'Idite opet i nabavite nam malo hrane!'
26 Then we said, 'We cannot go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then will we go down, for we will not be able to see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.'
Odgovorili smo: 'Ne možemo onamo. Samo ako s nama pođe naš najmlađi brat, sići ćemo, jer ne smijemo pred onoga čovjeka ako ne bude s nama naš najmlađi brat.'
27 Your servant my father said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons.
Tvoj sluga, otac moj, odvrati nam: 'Kako znate, žena mi je rodila dva sina.
28 One of them went out from me and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces, and I have not seen him since.”
Jedan je nestao, te sam zaključio: sigurno je rastrgan! Odonda ga više nisam vidio.
29 Now if you also take this one from me, and harm comes to him, you will bring down my gray hair with sorrow to Sheol.' (Sheol h7585)
Ako i ovoga od mene odvedete pa ga kakva nesreća snađe, moju ćete sijedu glavu s tugom strovaliti dolje u Šeol.' (Sheol h7585)
30 Now, therefore, when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us, since his life is bound up in the boy's life,
Ako sad dođem k tvome sluzi, ocu svome, a mladić - čiji je život tako povezan s njegovim - ne bude s nama,
31 it will come about, when he sees the boy is not with us, he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
on će svisnuti kad vidi da dječaka nema s nama; tako će tvoje sluge strovaliti u tuzi sijedu glavu tvoga sluge, oca našega, dolje u Šeol. (Sheol h7585)
32 For your servant became a guarantee for the boy to my father and said, 'If I do not bring him to you, then I will bear the guilt to my father forever.'
Jer tvoj je sluga zajamčio ocu svome za dječaka, rekavši: 'Ako ti ga ne vratim, bit ću kriv svome ocu svega vijeka.'
33 Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy as slave to my master, and let the boy go up with his brothers.
Zato, molim te, neka tvoj sluga ostane kao rob mome gospodaru, a dječak neka ide natrag s braćom.
34 For how can I go up to my father if the boy is not with me? I am afraid to see the evil that would come on my father.”
Jer, kako mogu k svome ocu ako dječaka nema sa mnom! Ne bih mogao gledati jad što bi snašao moga oca.”
