Pirmā Mozus 43
1 Un bads bija grūts tanī zemē.
The famine in Canaan got worse.
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.
Finally, when Jacob and his family had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, Jacob said to them, “Go back to Egypt and buy some more grain for us!”
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.
But Judah said to him, “The man who sold us the grain warned us sternly, ‘I will not let you see me [SYN] again if you come and your younger brother is not with you.’
4 Ja tad tu mūsu brāli mums sūtīsi līdz, tad mēs gribam noiet un pirkt maizes priekš tevis.
So, if you will send our younger brother with us, we will go down to Egypt and buy some grain for you.
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 there, because that man said to us, ‘I will not let you see me again if your younger brother is not with you.’”
6 Tad Israēls sacīja: kāpēc jūs man tik ļauni esat darījuši, tam vīram sacīdami, ka jums vēl viens brālis esot?
Jacob asked, “Why did you cause me to have this trouble by telling the man that you had a younger 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?
One of them replied, “The man asked about us and about our family. He said, ‘Is your father still living? Do you have another brother?’ We had to answer his questions. (We could not know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’/How could we know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’)” [RHQ]
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.
Then Judah said to his father Jacob, “Send the boy with me, and we will go immediately, in order that we and you and our children may get grain and not die from hunger.
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 myself will guarantee that he will return. You can require me to do what I am promising [IDM]. If I do not bring him back to you safely, you can say forever that (I am to blame/it was my fault [that he did not return to you)].
10 Jo ja mēs nebūtu kavējušies, mēs tagad jau otru reizi būtu pārnākuši.
If we had not (wasted so much time/waited so long), by now we could have gone there and returned two times!”
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.
Then their father Jacob said to them, “If there is no other way, do this: Put in your sacks some of the best things that are grown in this land, and take them down to the man as a gift. Take some balm/perfume and honey and spices and myrrh/ointment, some pistachio 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.
Take twice as much money as you took the previous time, because you must return the silver that someone put in the tops of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake that it was put in your sacks.
13 Ņemiet arī savu brāli un ceļaties un ejat atkal pie tā vīra.
Take your younger brother and go back to that 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.
I will pray that God Almighty will cause that man to act mercifully toward you, so that he will let your other brother, as well as Benjamin, come back here with you. But as for me, if my sons are taken from me, then I will not have my sons!”
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.
So the men took the gifts that Jacob said that they should take, and twice the amount of money that the grain would cost, and they also took Benjamin. They went down quickly to Egypt, and they stood in front of 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.
When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the man who (was in charge of/supervised) things in his house, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare a meal, because I want them to eat with me at noon.” [And he told him in what order they were to be seated].
17 Un tas vīrs darīja, kā Jāzeps bija sacījis, un tas vīrs ieveda tos vīrus Jāzepa namā.
The man did as Joseph said. And he took them to 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.
But they were afraid because he was taking them to Joseph’s house. They were thinking, “He is taking us here because of the silver that was put in our sacks the first time that we came here. While we are eating, he will have his servants attack us and seize us and cause us to become his slaves, and also take our donkeys.”
19 Tad tie piegāja pie tā vīra, kas bija pār Jāzepa namu, un runāja ar to priekš nama durvīm
They went with the man who was in charge of things in Joseph’s house. When they arrived at the entrance of the house,
20 Un sacīja: ak mans kungs, mums viņu reiz' bija jānāk, labības pirkt.
one of them said to him, “Please, sir, listen to me. We came down here previously and bought some grain.
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.
But at the place where we stopped for the night as we were returning home, we opened our sacks. We were astonished to see that in the top of each of our sacks was the exact amount of silver that we had paid for the grain! So we have brought it back with us.
22 Mēs arī esam atnesuši citu naudu savā rokā, maizes pirkt, mēs nezinām, kas mūsu naudu mūsu maisos ielicis.
We have also brought more silver with us to buy more grain. We do not know who put the silver 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.
The man replied, [“Relax]! Do not worry about it! I received the silver that you brought. Your God, the God your father worships, must have put it in your sacks.” And then he brought Simeon to them from the prison.
24 Pēc viņš tos vīrus ieveda Jāzepa namā un tiem deva ūdeni, un tie mazgāja savas kājas; un viņš deva viņu ēzeļiem ēdamo.
Then he took them into Joseph’s house. He gave them water to wash their feet and gave them food for the donkeys.
25 Un tie sataisīja to dāvanu, tiekams Jāzeps nāca uz pusdienu; jo tie bija dzirdējuši, ka tiem tur bija maizi ēst.
He told them that they were going to eat with Joseph at noon. So the men prepared their gifts to give to Joseph when he arrived.
26 Kad nu Jāzeps nāca namā, tad tie viņam namā atnesa to dāvanu, kas bija viņu rokās, un metās viņa priekšā pie zemes.
When Joseph came home, they presented to him the gifts that they had brought into the house. Then they bowed down to the ground in front of him.
27 Un viņš jautāja, kā tiem klājās, un sacīja: kā klājās jūsu vecajam tēvam, par ko jūs stāstījāt? Vai viņš vēl dzīvs?
He asked them if they were (well/in good health), and then he asked, “How is the health of your old father, the one that you told me about? Is he still living?”
28 Un tie sacīja: tavam kalpam, mūsu tēvam, labi klājās, viņš vēl dzīvs; un tie noliecās un klanījās.
One of them replied, “Yes, our father, [who is willing to be] your servant, is still alive, and he is well.” Then again they bowed down in front of him.
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!
Then he saw his [younger] brother Benjamin, his own mother’s other son. He asked them, “Is this your youngest brother, the one whom you told me about?” After they said “Yes,” he said to Benjamin, “Young man, I pray that God will act kindly toward you.”
30 Un Jāzeps steidzās, jo viņa sirds iesila uz savu brāli, un viņš meklēja, kur raudāt, un iegāja kambarī un tur raudāja.
Joseph quickly left the room. He realized that he was about to cry because he (was full of emotion about his younger brother/loved his younger brother so much). He went into his private room and cried there.
31 Un viņš mazgāja savu vaigu un nāca ārā un savaldījās un sacīja: celiet maizi priekšā.
Then, after he washed the tears from his face, he came out, and controlling his emotions, he said to the servants, “Serve the food!”
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.
The people of Egypt considered that it was disgraceful for them to eat with Hebrews, so the servants served food to Joseph by himself, and served the other people of Egypt who ate with him by themselves, and they served Joseph’s older brothers and younger brother by themselves.
33 Un tie sēdēja viņam pretī, tas pirmdzimtais pēc savas pirmdzimtības, un tas jaunākais pēc savas jaunības.
His brothers were astonished to see that their seats were arranged according to their ages, from the oldest to the youngest!
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 when their portions of food were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as anyone else’s portion! So they ate food and drank wine with Joseph and became very cheerful.
