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.
Oskrbniku svoje hiše je zapovedal, rekoč: »Vreče mož napolni s hrano, kolikor lahko nesejo in denar vsakega človeka položi v ustje njegove vreče.
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.
Mojo čašo pa, srebrno čašo, položi v ustje vreče najmlajšega in njegov žitni denar.« Ta je storil glede na besedo, ki jo je Jožef spregovoril.
3 The morning dawned, and the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
Takoj, ko je bila zjutraj svetloba, so bili možje odposlani, oni in njihovi osli.
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?
Ko so odšli ven iz mesta in še ne daleč proč, je Jožef rekel svojemu oskrbniku: »Vstani, sledi možem in ko jih boš dohitel, jim reci: ›Zakaj ste zlo nagradili 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.'”
Mar ni to tisto iz česar moj gospod pije in s čimer zares vedežuje? S takšnim dejanjem ste storili zlo.‹«
6 The steward overtook them and spoke these words to them.
Ta jih je dohitel in jim spregovoril te iste besede.
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.
Rekli so mu: »Zakaj moj gospod govori te besede? Bog ne daj, da bi tvoji služabniki storili glede na to stvar.
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?
Glej, denar, ki smo ga našli v ustjih svojih vreč, smo iz kánaanske dežele ponovno prinesli k tebi, kako bi potem ukradli srebro ali zlato iz hiše tvojega gospodarja?
9 With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my master's slaves.”
Pri komerkoli izmed tvojih služabnikov bi bilo to najdeno, naj umre, mi pa bomo tudi sužnji mojemu gospodu.«
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.”
Rekel je: » Naj bo sedaj tudi to glede na vaše besede. Ta, pri komer bo to najdeno, bo moj služabnik, vi pa boste brez krivde.«
11 Then each man hurried and brought his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
Potem so naglo sneli vsak mož svojo vrečo k tlom in vsak mož je svojo vrečo odprl.
12 The steward searched. He began with the oldest and finished with the youngest, and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
On pa je iskal in začel pri najstarejšem in nehal pri najmlajšem in čaša je bila najdena v Benjaminovi vreči.
13 Then they tore their clothes. Each man loaded his donkey and returned to the city.
Potem so raztrgali svoja oblačila in vsak človek je otovoril svojega osla in vrnili so se v mesto.
14 Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house. He was still there, and they bowed before him to the ground.
Juda in njegovi bratje so prišli v Jožefovo hišo, kajti še je bil tam in padli so pred njim na tla.
15 Joseph said to them, “What is this that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me practices divination?”
Jožef jim je rekel: »Kakšno dejanje je to, kar ste storili? Ali ne veste, da tak mož, kakor jaz, lahko zagotovo vedežuje?«
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.”
Juda je rekel: »Kaj bomo rekli mojemu gospodu? Kaj naj govorimo? Ali kako se bomo očistili? Bog je odkril krivičnost svojih služabnikov. Glej, mi smo gospodovi služabniki, tako mi, kakor tudi ta, pri komer se je našla čaša.«
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.”
Rekel je: »Bog ne daj, da bi tako storil. Temveč človek, v čigar roki je najdena čaša, bo moj služabnik. Kar pa se tiče vas, se v miru dvignite k svojemu očetu.«
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.
Potem se mu je približal Juda in rekel: »Oh, moj gospod, naj tvoj služabnik, prosim te, spregovori besedo v ušesa mojega gospoda in naj tvoja jeza ne gori zoper tvojega služabnika, kajti ti si celo kakor faraon.
19 My master asked his servants, saying, 'Do you have a father or a brother?'
Moj gospod je svoje služabnike vprašal, rekoč: ›Imate očeta ali 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.'
In mi smo mojemu gospodu rekli: ›Imamo očeta, starca in otroka njegove visoke starosti, malčka. Njegov brat je mrtev in on je sam ostal od svoje matere in njegov oče ga ljubi.‹
21 Then you said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me that I may see him.'
Ti pa si rekel svojim služabnikom: ›Privedite ga dol k meni, da lahko svoje oči usmerim nanj.‹
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.'
Mi pa smo mojemu gospodu rekli: ›Deček ne more zapustiti svojega očeta, kajti če bi zapustil svojega očeta, bi njegov oče umrl.‹
23 Then you said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.'
Svojim služabnikom si rekel: ›Razen če pride dol z vami vaš najmlajši brat, ne boste več videli mojega obraza.‹
24 Then it came about when we went up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my master.
Pripetilo se je, ko smo prišli gor k tvojemu služabniku, mojemu očetu, da smo mu povedali besede mojega gospoda.
25 Our father said, 'Go again, buy us some food.'
Naš oče je rekel: ›Pojdite ponovno in nam kupite 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.'
Mi pa smo rekli: ›Ne moremo iti dol. Če bo z nami naš najmlajši brat, potem bomo šli dol, kajti ne smemo videti moževega obraza, razen če bo z nami naš najmlajši brat.‹
27 Your servant my father said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons.
Tvoj služabnik, moj oče, nam je rekel: ›Vi veste, da mi je žena rodila dva sinova.
28 One of them went out from me and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces, and I have not seen him since.”
Eden je odšel od mene in rekel sem: ›Zagotovo je raztrgan na koščke‹ in od takrat ga nisem videl.
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)
Če tudi tega vzamete od mene in ga zadene nesreča, boste moje sive lase z bridkostjo privedli do groba.‹ (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,
Zdaj torej, ko pridem k tvojemu služabniku, svojemu očetu in dečka ne bo z nami, glede na to, da je njegovo življenje vezano na življenje dečka,
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)
se bo zgodilo, ko bo videl, da dečka ni z nami, da bo umrl. Tvoji služabniki bodo sive lase tvojega služabnika, našega očeta, z bridkostjo privedli do groba. (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.'
Kajti tvoj služabnik je postal pôrok za dečka mojemu očetu, rekoč: ›Če ga ne privedem k tebi, potem bom na veke prinašal krivdo svojemu očetu.‹
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.
Zdaj torej, prosim te, naj tvoj služabnik ostane namesto dečka suženj mojemu gospodu, deček pa naj gre gor s svojimi brati.
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.”
Kajti kako bom šel k svojemu očetu, dečka pa ne bo z menoj? Da ne bi morda videl zla, ki bi prišlo na mojega očeta.«
