1 Mózes 42
1 Midőn látta Jákob, hogy van gabona Egyiptomban, mondta Jákob a fiainak: Miért nézitek egymást?
When someone told Jacob that there was grain in Egypt that people could buy, he said to his sons, “(Why do you just sit there looking at each other?/Do not just sit there looking at each other!) [RHQ] We need some grain!”
2 És mondta: Íme; hallottam, hogy van gabona Egyiptomban; menjetek le oda és vegyetek nekünk onnan gabonát, hogy éljünk és meg ne haljunk.
He said to them, “Someone told me that there is grain for sale in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, in order that we will not die!”
3 És lementek József testvérei tízen, hogy gabonát vegyenek Egyiptomból.
So Joseph’s ten [older] brothers went down to Egypt to buy some grain.
4 De Benjámint, József testvérét nem eresztette el Jákob a testvéreivel, mert azt mondta: Netalán baleset érné!
But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s [younger] brother, to go with the others, because he was afraid/worried that something terrible might happen to him like what happened to Joseph.
5 És eljöttek Izrael fiai, hogy gabonát vegyenek, az odajövők között, mert éhség volt Kánaán országában.
So Jacob’s other sons went down from Canaan to Egypt to buy grain, and others from there went too, because there was a famine in Canaan also.
6 József pedig, ő volt a kormányzó az ország, fölött, ő az, aki eladta a gabonát az ország egész népének; és eljöttek József testvérei és leborultak előtte arccal a földre.
At that time Joseph was the governor of Egypt. He was the one who sold grain to people who came from all over Egypt and from many other countries [HYP] to buy grain. So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, [they were told that it was necessary for them to talk with Joseph. So they went to him and] prostrated themselves before him with their faces to the ground.
7 Midőn meglátta József az ő testvéreit, fölismerte őket; de idegennek tetette magát velük szemben és keményen beszélt velük és mondta nekik: Honnan jöttök? Ők mondták: Kánaán országából, hogy eleséget vegyünk.
As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them. But he pretended that he did not know them. He spoke harshly to them, saying, “Where do you come from?” One of them replied, “We have come from Canaan, to buy some grain.”
8 József fölismerte testvéreit, de ők ne ismerték föl.
Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.
9 És megemlékezett József az álmokról, melyeket álmodott felőlük; és mondta nekik: Kémek vagytok ti, hogy megtekintsétek az ország meztelenségét, azért jöttetek.
And then Joseph remembered what he had dreamed about them many years previously. [But he decided not to tell them yet that he was their younger brother]. He said to them, “You are spies! You have come to find out whether we will be able to defend ourselves [if you attack us]!”
10 És ők mondták neki: Nem, uram; hanem szolgáid jöttek, hogy eleséget vegyenek.
One of them replied, “No, sir! We have come to buy grain.
11 Mindnyájan egy ember fiai vagyunk mi; becsületesek vagyunk mi, soha sem voltak a te szolgáid kémek.
We are all sons of one man. We are honest men, not spies.”
12 De ő mondta nekik: Nem, hanem az ország meztelenségét megtekinteni jöttetek.
He said to them, “[I do not believe you]. You have come just to see whether we would be able to defend ourselves if we were attacked!”
13 És ők mondták: Tizenketten vannak a te szolgáid, testvérek vagyunk mi, egy ember fiai Kánaán országában; és íme, a legkisebb atyánknál van ma, az egyik pedig nincs meg.
But one of them replied, “No, that is not true! Originally there were twelve of us who were brothers, the sons of one man. Our younger brother is with our father. One [younger] brother has died. [EUP]”
14 És mondta nekik József: Az az, amit szóltam hozzátok, mondván: Kémek vagytok ti.
Joseph replied, “[You are lying! I think] it is just as I told you. You are spies!
15 Ezáltal fogtok megpróbáltatni: Fáraó életére, nem mentek ki innen, hanem ha eljön legkisebb testvéretek ide.
But this is how I will determine whether what you are saying is true. I think that as surely as the king lives, you are spies. And you will not leave this place until your youngest brother comes here!
16 Küldjetek magatok közül egyet, hogy elhozza testvéreteket, ti pedig fogva maradtok, hogy megpróbáltassanak szavaitok, vajon igazság van-e veletek? Ha pedig nem, Fáraó életére, bizony kémek vagytok.
Send one of your group to go and get your younger brother and bring him here. I will put the rest of you in prison, in order that I may test what you have said to find out whether what you are telling me is true. If the one who goes does not bring your younger brother here, then, just as surely as the king lives, it will be clear that you are lying and that you are spies.”
17 És együtt tette őket őrizet alá három napra.
Then Joseph put them all in prison for three days.
18 És mondta nekik József a harmadik napon: Ezt tegyétek, hogy éljetek az Istent félem én.
On the third day, Joseph went to the prison and said to them, “I am a man who fears that God [will punish me if I do not do what I promise]. So do what I tell you, and I will spare your lives.
19 Ha becsületesek vagytok, egyik testvéretek maradjon fogva őrizetetek házában, ti pedig menjetek, vigyetek gabonát házaitok éhségére.
If you are honest men, let one of your brothers stay here in prison, and the rest of you can take some grain back to your families who are very hungry because of the famine.
20 Legkisebb testvéreteket hozzátok el hozzám, hogy igazoltassanak szavaitok és meg ne haljatok; és így tettek.
But if you come back here again, you must bring your youngest brother to me, so that you can prove that what you told me is true, and as a result I will not have you executed.” So they agreed to do that.
21 És mondták egymásnak: Bizony vétkesek vagyunk mi testvérünk miatt, mivelhogy láttuk lelke szorongását, midőn könyörgött nekünk, de mi nem hallgattunk rá; azért jött ránk ez a szorongatás.
They said to each other, “It is surely because of what we did to our [younger] brother that (we are being punished/God is punishing us)! We saw that he [SYN] was very distressed when he pleaded with us not to harm him. But we did not pay any attention to him, and that is why we are having this trouble!”
22 És felelt nekik Rúbén, mondván: Nem szóltam-e nektek, mondván: Ne vétkezzetek a gyermek ellen, de ti nem hallgattatok rám; és íme, vérét is számon kérik.
Reuben said to them, “I told you not to harm the boy [RHQ], but you did not pay attention to what I said! Now we are being (paid back/punished) for killing him [MTY]!”
23 Ők pedig nem tudták, hogy József érti, mert tolmács volt közöttük.
While they were talking with Joseph, they were speaking through (an interpreter/someone who knew their language and the Egyptian language), but when they said these things among themselves, they were speaking in their own language, and they did not know that Joseph could understand their language, and that he could understand what they were saying.
24 És ő elfordult tőlük és sírt; azután visszatért hozzájuk és beszélt velük, elvette tőlük Simont és bezárta őt szemük láttára.
[Because of what they said, Joseph realized that they admitted that what they had done to him many years previously was wrong]. He could not keep from crying, [and he did not want them to see him crying], so he left them and went outside the room and began to cry. But then he returned to them and talked to them again. Then he took Simeon, and while they were watching, he told his servants to tie him up. He left Simeon in the prison and told the others that they could go.
25 És megparancsolta József, hogy töltsék meg az edényeiket gabonával és hogy tegyék vissza pénzüket mindegyiknek a zsákjába, és hogy adjanak nekik élelmet az útra; és így tettek velük.
Joseph told his servants to fill the men’s sacks with grain, but he also told them to put the money that each one had paid for the grain in the top of his sack. He also told them to give them food to eat along the way. After the servants did those things for Joseph’s older brothers,
26 Ők föltették gabonájukat szamaraikra és elmentek onnan.
his older brothers loaded the sacks of grain on their donkeys and left.
27 Az egyik kibontotta zsákját, hogy abrakot adjon szamarának a szálláson; és meglátta pénzét, hogy íme a zsákja szájában van.
At the place where they stopped to sleep that night, one of them opened his sack to get some grain for his donkey. He was amazed to see his money in the top of the sack.
28 És mondta testvéreinek: Visszatették pénzemet és itt is van zsákomban; akkor elment bátorságuk és remegve fordultak egymáshoz, mondván: Mit is tett Isten velünk?
He exclaimed to his brothers, “Someone has returned my money! Here it is in my sack!” They started shaking with fear, and said to each other, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29 És elérkeztek Jákobhoz, az ő atyjukhoz Kánaán országába és tudtára adták neki mindazt, ami őket érte, mondván:
When they returned to their father in Canaan land, they told him all that had happened to them. One of them said,
30 Beszélt velünk a férfiú, az ország ura keményen olyanoknak tartott bennünket, mint akik kikémlelik az országot.
“The man who governs the whole land of Egypt talked very harshly to us. He acted toward us as though we were spying on his country.
31 Mi pedig mondtuk neki: Becsületesek vagyunk, nem voltunk soha kémek;
But we told him, ‘We are honest men! We are not spies.
32 tizenketten vagyunk mi testvérek, atyánk fiai; nincs meg, a legkisebb pedig atyánknál van Kánaán országában.
Originally there were twelve of us who were brothers, the sons of one father. One has died [EUP], and our youngest brother is with our father in Canaan.’
33 És mondta nekünk a férfiú, az ország ura; Erről tudom meg, hogy becsületesek vagytok, egyik testvéreteket hagyjátok nálam és a házaitok éhségére valót vegyétek és menjetek.
The man who is the governor of the land [did not believe us], so he said to us, ‘This is how I will know if you are truly honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me. Then the rest of you can take some grain for your families that are starving from hunger and go.
34 És hozzátok el legkisebb testvéreteket hozzám, hogy megtudjam, hogy nem vagytok kémek, hogy becsületesek vagytok; testvéreteket kiadom majd nektek az országot bejárhatjátok.
But when you return, bring your youngest brother to me, in order that I will know that you are not spies, but instead, that you are honest men. Then I will release your brother for you. And then you can buy whatever you want in this country.’”
35 És volt, ahogy ők kiürítették zsákjaikat, íme, mindegyiknek a pénzcsomagja a zsákjában; midőn meglátták pénzcsomagjaikat, ők és atyjuk, megfélemlettek.
As they were emptying their sacks, they were surprised that in each man’s sack was his pouch of money! When they and their father saw all the pouches of money, they were frightened.
36 És mondta nekik Jákob, az ő atyjuk: Engem megfosztotok ti gyermekeimtől: József nincs, Simon nincs és Benjámint elviszitek; engem ér mindez!
Their father Jacob said to them, “You have caused two of my children to be taken from me! Joseph is dead, and Simeon is gone! And now you want to take Benjamin from me! It is I who am suffering because of all these things that are happening!”
37 És szólt Rúbén az ő atyjához, mondván: Két fiamat öld meg, ha nem hozom el hozzád; add őt az én kezemre és én visszahozom neked.
Reuben said to his father, “I will be responsible for Benjamin. [I will take him to Egypt and] bring him back to you. Let me take care of him. If I do not bring Benjamin back to you, you may kill both of my sons.”
38 De ő mondta: Nem megy le fiam veletek, mert testvére meghalt és ő egyedül maradt meg; ha baleset érné az úton, melyen mentek, akkor leszállítjátok ősz fejemet búbánatban a sírba. (Sheol h7585)
But Jacob said, “No, I will not let my son go down there with you. His [older] brother is dead, and he is the only [one of my wife Rachel’s] sons who is left! If something harms him while you are traveling, you would cause me, a gray-haired old man, to die because of sorrow.” (Sheol h7585)
