Genesis 42
1 And Jacob seeth that there is corn in Egypt, and Jacob saith to his sons, 'Why do you look at each other?'
Kad je Jakov čuo da u Egiptu ima žita, reče svojim sinovima: “Što tu zurite jedan u drugoga?
2 he saith also, 'Lo, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt, go down thither, and buy for us from thence, and we live and do not die;'
Čujem da ima žita u Egiptu. Otiđite dolje te nam ga odande nabavite da ostanemo na životu i ne pomremo.”
3 and the ten brethren of Joseph go down to buy corn in Egypt,
Tako desetero Josipove braće siđe da nabavi žita iz Egipta.
4 and Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob hath not sent with his brethren, for he said, 'Lest mischief meet him.'
Benjamina, Josipova pravog brata, Jakov ne posla s ostalima. “Da ga ne bi zadesila kakva nesreća”, govorio je.
5 And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine hath been in the land of Canaan,
Među onima koji su išli nabavljati žito, jer u zemlji kanaanskoj vladaše glad, bijahu i sinovi Izraelovi.
6 and Joseph is the ruler over the land, he who is selling to all the people of the land, and Joseph's brethren come and bow themselves to him — face to the earth.
Josip je bio namjesnik u zemlji; on je dijelio žito svemu svijetu. Dođu tako i Josipova braća i poklone mu se licem do zemlje.
7 And Joseph seeth his brethren, and discerneth them, and maketh himself strange unto them, and speaketh with them sharp things, and saith unto them, 'From whence have ye come?' and they say, 'From the land of Canaan — to buy food.'
Josip prepozna braću čim ih ugleda, ali se prema njima vladao kao stranac i oštro im govorio. Zapita ih: “Odakle dolazite?” Odgovore: “Iz zemlje kanaanske došli smo da kupimo hrane.”
8 And Joseph discerneth his brethren, but they have not discerned him,
Iako je Josip prepoznao svoju braću, oni njega nisu prepoznali.
9 and Joseph remembereth the dreams which he dreamed of them, and saith unto them, 'Ye [are] spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye have come.'
Josip se sjeti snova što ih je o njima sanjao. I reče im: “Vi ste uhode! Došli ste da izvidite slaba mjesta ove zemlje.”
10 And they say unto him, 'No, my lord, but thy servants have come to buy food;
Oni mu odgovore: “Ne, gospodaru! Tvoje su sluge došle da nabave hrane.
11 we [are] all of us sons of one man, we [are] right men; thy servants have not been spies;'
Svi smo sinovi jednog oca; pošteni smo ljudi; sluge tvoje nikad nisu bile uhode.”
12 and he saith unto them, 'No, but the nakedness of the land ye have come to see;'
On će im opet: “Ne, nego ste došli da izvidite slaba mjesta ove zemlje.”
13 and they say, 'Thy servants [are] twelve brethren; we [are] sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and lo, the young one [is] with our father to-day, and the one is not.'
Nato oni uzvrate: “Nas, tvojih slugu, bijaše dvanaestero braće - sinovi jednog oca, u zemlji kanaanskoj; najmlađi je sad s ocem, a jednoga više nema.”
14 And Joseph saith unto them, 'This [is] that which I have spoken unto you, saying, Ye [are] spies,
No Josip im dobaci: “Onako kako sam vam već rekao: vi ste uhode!
15 by this ye are proved: Pharaoh liveth! if ye go out from this — except by your young brother coming hither;
Ovako ću vas iskušati: odavde, tako mi faraona, nećete izići ako vaš najmlađi brat ne dođe ovamo!
16 send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and ye, remain ye bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be with you: and if not — Pharaoh liveth! surely ye [are] spies;'
Pošaljite jednoga između sebe da vam dovede brata, a vi ostali u zatvor! Tako ću iskušati vaše riječi i vidjeti je li u vas istina ili nije. Inače, tako mi faraona, vi ste uhode!”
17 and he removeth them unto charge three days.
Potom ih baci u zatvor na tri dana.
18 And Joseph saith unto them on the third day, 'This do and live; God I fear!
Treći im dan reče Josip: “Izvršite to, i ostat ćete na životu, jer sam ja čovjek bogobojazan.
19 if ye [are] right men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your ward, and ye, go, carry in corn [for] the famine of your houses,
Ako ste pošteni, neka jedan od vas ostane u zatvoru, a vi ostali idite i nosite žito svojim izgladnjelim domovima.
20 and your young brother ye bring unto me, and your words are established, and ye die not;' and they do so.
Poslije toga dovedite mi svoga najmlađeg brata, tako da se obistine vaše riječi te da ne izginete.” Oni pristanu.
21 And they say one unto another, 'Verily we [are] guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul, in his making supplication unto us, and we did not hearken: therefore hath this distress come upon us.'
Zatim je jedan drugom govorio: “Jao nama! Stiže nas kazna zbog našega brata; gledali smo njegovu muku dok nas je molio za milost, ali ga nismo uslišali. Stoga nas je ova nevolja snašla.”
22 And Reuben answereth them, saying, 'Spake I not unto you, saying, Sin not against the lad? and ye hearkened not; and his blood also, lo, it is required.'
Ruben im odvrati: “Zar vam nisam govorio: Ne ogrešujte se o mladića! Ali vi niste slušali. Sad se traži račun za njegovu krv.”
23 And they have not known that Joseph understandeth, for the interpreter [is] between them;
Nisu znali da ih Josip razumije, jer su se s njim razgovarali preko tumača.
24 and he turneth round from them, and weepeth, and turneth back unto them, and speaketh unto them, and taketh from them Simeon, and bindeth him before their eyes.
On se od njih udalji te zaplaka. Opet se vrati i razgovaraše s njima. Onda izdvoji Šimuna između njih i naredi da bude svezan na njihove oči.
25 And Joseph commandeth, and they fill their vessels [with] corn, also to put back the money of each unto his sack, and to give to them provision for the way; and one doth to them so.
Potom Josip zapovjedi da im vreće napune žitom; da svakome njegov novac metnu u vreću i da im daju poputninu. Tako im učine.
26 And they lift up their corn upon their asses, and go from thence,
Tada oni natovare žito na svoje magarce i krenu odande.
27 and the one openeth his sack to give provender to his ass at a lodging-place, and he seeth his money, and lo, it [is] in the mouth of his bag,
Kad na prenoćištu jedan od njih otvori svoju vreću da nahrani magarca, opazi svoj novac ozgo u vreći.
28 and he saith unto his brethren, 'My money hath been put back, and also, lo, in my bag:' and their heart goeth out, and they tremble, one to another saying, 'What [is] this God hath done to us!'
“Moj je novac vraćen!” - povika braći. - “Evo ga u mojoj vreći!” Zadrhta srce u njima. Zgledaše se, uplašeni, i rekoše: “Što nam ovo Bog uradi!”
29 And they come in unto Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and they declare to him all the things meeting them, saying,
Došavši k svome ocu Jakovu u zemlju kanaansku, kazaše mu sve što ih je snašlo.
30 'The man, the lord of the land, hath spoken with us sharp things, and maketh us as spies of the land;
“Čovjek koji je gospodar one zemlje”, rekoše, “oštro nam je govorio i optužio nas kao uhode.
31 and we say unto him, We [are] right men, we have not been spies,
Pošteni smo ljudi, kazasmo mu, i nikad nismo bili uhode.
32 we [are] twelve brethren, sons of our father, the one is not, and the young one [is] to-day with our father in the land of Canaan.
Bilo nas je dvanaestero braće, sinovi istog oca, ali jednoga više nema, dok se najmlađi sad nalazi s našim ocem u zemlji kanaanskoj.
33 'And the man, the lord of the land, saith unto us, By this I know that ye [are] right men — one of your brethren leave with me, and [for] the famine of your houses take ye and go,
Ali čovjek koji je gospodar one zemlje reče nam: 'Ovim ću doznati da ste pošteni ljudi: ostavite jednoga brata kod mene, a vi ostali uzmite što vam treba za izgladnjele domove, pa idite.
34 and bring your young brother unto me, and I know that ye [are] not spies, but ye [are] right men; your brother I give to you, and ye trade with the land.'
Onda mi dovedite svoga najmlađeg brata, tako da znam da niste uhode, nego pošteni ljudi. Poslije toga vratit ću vam vašeg brata, i vi ćete se moći slobodno kretati u ovoj zemlji.'”
35 And it cometh to pass, they are emptying their sacks, and lo, the bundle of each man's silver [is] in his sack, and they see their bundles of silver, they and their father, and are afraid;
Kako su praznili svoje vreće, svaki nađe u vreći svoju kesu. Opazivši to, zapadoše u strah - i oni i njihov otac.
36 and Jacob their father saith unto them, 'Me ye have bereaved; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and Benjamin ye take — against me have been all these.'
“Mene vi ostavljate bez djece!” - reče im njihov otac. - “Josipa je nestalo, Šimuna nema, a sad biste odveli i Benjamina. Sve se to na me svaljuje!”
37 And Reuben speaketh unto his father, saying, 'My two sons thou dost put to death, if I bring him not in unto thee; give him into my hand, and I — I bring him back unto thee;'
Onda Ruben reče svome ocu: “Ubij moja dva sina ako ti ga ja natrag ne dovedem! Predaj ga u moje ruke, i ja ću ti ga vratiti!”
38 and he saith, 'My son doth not go down with you, for his brother [is] dead, and he by himself is left; when mischief hath met him in the way in which ye go, then ye have brought down my grey hairs in sorrow to sheol.' (Sheol h7585)
“Moj sin neće s vama!” - uzvrati on. - “Njegov je pravi brat već mrtav, a on je ostao sam. Ako bi ga na putu na koji ćete poći snašla nesreća, u tuzi biste otpravili moju sijedu glavu dolje u Šeol.” (Sheol h7585)
