Pirmā Mozus 43
1 Un bads bija grūts tanī zemē.
And the famine was sore in the land.
2 Un kad tā labība, ko tie no Ēģiptes bija atveduši, jau bija izlietojuši, tad viņu tēvs uz tiem sacīja: noejat atkal un pērciet mums maizes kādu mazumu.
And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said to them, Go again, buy us a little food.
3 Un Jūda uz to runāja un sacīja: tas vīrs mums stipri piekodinājis un sacījis: jūs manu vaigu neredzēsiet, ja jūsu brālis nav jums līdz.
And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man did solemnly protest to us, saying, You shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
4 Ja tad tu mūsu brāli mums sūtīsi līdz, tad mēs gribam noiet un pirkt maizes priekš tevis.
If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you food:
5 Bet ja tu to nesūtīsi, tad mēs nenoiesim, jo tas vīrs mums ir sacījis: jums nebūs manu vaigu redzēt, ja jūsu jaunākais brālis jums nav līdz.
But if you will not send him, we will not go down: for the man said to us, You shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
6 Tad Israēls sacīja: kāpēc jūs man tik ļauni esat darījuši, tam vīram sacīdami, ka jums vēl viens brālis esot?
And Israel said, Why dealt you so ill with me, as to tell the man whether you had yet a brother?
7 Un tie sacīja: tas vīrs jautāja jautādams pēc mums un pēc mūsu radiem un sacīja: vai jūsu tēvs vēl dzīvs? Vai jums vēl viens brālis? Tad mēs viņam atbildējām, kā viņš mums jautāja; kā tad mēs to varējām zināt, ka tas sacīs: vediet savu brāli šurp?
And they said, The man asked us straightly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have you another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
8 Tad Jūda sacīja uz Israēli, savu tēvu: sūti to zēnu man līdz, tad mēs celsimies un noiesim, lai dzīvojam un nemirstam, ne mēs, ne tu pats, ne mūsu bērniņi.
And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and you, and also our little ones.
9 Es galvoju par viņu, no manas rokas tev būs viņu prasīt; ja es to pie tevis nevedīšu atpakaļ un to nestādīšu priekš tavām acīm, tad es visu savu mūžu gribu noziedzīgs būt tavā priekšā.
I will be surety for him; of my hand shall you require him: if I bring him not to you, and set him before you, then let me bear the blame for ever:
10 Jo ja mēs nebūtu kavējušies, mēs tagad jau otru reizi būtu pārnākuši.
For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
11 Tad viņu tēvs Israēls uz tiem sacīja: ja tam nu tā būs būt, tad dariet tā: ņemiet no šās zemes visteicamiem augļiem savos traukos un nonesiet tam vīram dāvanu, balzama kādu mazumu un kādu mazumu medus, dārgas zāles un mirres, riekstus un mandeles.
And their father Israel said to them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
12 Ņemiet arīdzan otrtik naudas savā rokā, un to naudu, kas jūsu maisu virsgalā atlikta, nesiet atpakaļ savā rokā, tiem jau tur būs misējies.
And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:
13 Ņemiet arī savu brāli un ceļaties un ejat atkal pie tā vīra.
Take also your brother, and arise, go again to the man:
14 Bet tas visuvarenais Dievs lai jums dod žēlastību tā vīra priekšā, ka tas atlaiž jūsu otru brāli un Benjaminu. Bet es esmu tā kā kam bērni rautin atrauti.
And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
15 Tad tie vīri ņēma to dāvanu, un ņēma otrtik naudas savā rokā un Benjaminu, un cēlās un nogāja uz Ēģiptes zemi un stājās Jāzepa priekšā.
And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
16 Kad nu Jāzeps Benjaminu pie tiem ieraudzīja, tad viņš sacīja tam, kas bija pār viņa namu: ieved tos vīrus namā un nokauj kādu kaujamu lopu un taisi ēdienu, jo tie vīri pie manis ēdīs pusdienu.
And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.
17 Un tas vīrs darīja, kā Jāzeps bija sacījis, un tas vīrs ieveda tos vīrus Jāzepa namā.
And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph’s house.
18 Tad tie vīri bijās, kad tos veda Jāzepa namā, un sacīja: tās naudas dēļ, ko viņu reiz' atdabūjām savos maisos, mēs esam ievesti, lai viņš mums var uzbrukt un mums uzmākties un mūs par vergiem ņemt un mūsu ēzeļus.
And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph’s house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall on us, and take us for slaves, and our asses.
19 Tad tie piegāja pie tā vīra, kas bija pār Jāzepa namu, un runāja ar to priekš nama durvīm
And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
20 Un sacīja: ak mans kungs, mums viņu reiz' bija jānāk, labības pirkt.
And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
21 Un kad bijām nākuši mājas vietā un atraisījām savus maisus, redzi, tad ikvienam tā nauda bija viņa maisa virsgalā ar pilnu svaru, un mēs to esam atkal atnesuši savā rokā.
And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
22 Mēs arī esam atnesuši citu naudu savā rokā, maizes pirkt, mēs nezinām, kas mūsu naudu mūsu maisos ielicis.
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
23 Un tas sacīja: esiet ar mieru, nebīstaties! Jūsu Dievs un jūsu tēva Dievs jums devis jūsu maisos apslēptu mantu; jūsu nauda man rokā tikusi. Un viņš izveda Sīmeanu pie tiem ārā.
And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out to them.
24 Pēc viņš tos vīrus ieveda Jāzepa namā un tiem deva ūdeni, un tie mazgāja savas kājas; un viņš deva viņu ēzeļiem ēdamo.
And the man brought the men into Joseph’s house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
25 Un tie sataisīja to dāvanu, tiekams Jāzeps nāca uz pusdienu; jo tie bija dzirdējuši, ka tiem tur bija maizi ēst.
And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
26 Kad nu Jāzeps nāca namā, tad tie viņam namā atnesa to dāvanu, kas bija viņu rokās, un metās viņa priekšā pie zemes.
And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
27 Un viņš jautāja, kā tiem klājās, un sacīja: kā klājās jūsu vecajam tēvam, par ko jūs stāstījāt? Vai viņš vēl dzīvs?
And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he yet alive?
28 Un tie sacīja: tavam kalpam, mūsu tēvam, labi klājās, viņš vēl dzīvs; un tie noliecās un klanījās.
And they answered, Your servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
29 Un viņš pacēla savas acis un ieraudzīja savu brāli Benjaminu, savas mātes dēlu, un sacīja: vai šis ir jūsu jaunākais brālis, par ko man stāstījāt? Un viņš sacīja: Dievs lai tev žēlīgs, mans dēls!
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom you spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to you, my son.
30 Un Jāzeps steidzās, jo viņa sirds iesila uz savu brāli, un viņš meklēja, kur raudāt, un iegāja kambarī un tur raudāja.
And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn on his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
31 Un viņš mazgāja savu vaigu un nāca ārā un savaldījās un sacīja: celiet maizi priekšā.
And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
32 Un tie cēla priekšā viņam (at)sevišķi un viņiem (at)sevišķi, un tiem ēģiptiešiem (at)sevišķi, kas pie viņa ēda, jo ēģiptieši ar Ebrejiem nevar maizi ēst, jo ēģiptiešiem tā ir negantība.
And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
33 Un tie sēdēja viņam pretī, tas pirmdzimtais pēc savas pirmdzimtības, un tas jaunākais pēc savas jaunības.
And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marveled one at another.
34 Par to tie vīri brīnījās savā starpā, un viņš cēla tiem priekšā goda daļas no sava galda, bet Benjamina daļu viņš pieckārtīgi vairoja pār visu citu daļām; un tie dzēra un padzērās ar viņu.
And he took and sent messes to them from before him: but Benjamin’s mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
