Postanak 42
1 A Jakov videæi da ima žita u Misiru, reèe sinovima svojim: šta gledate jedan na drugoga?
And Jacob having seen that there was a sale [of corn] in Egypt, said to his sons, Why are you indolent?
2 I reèe: eto èujem da u Misiru ima žita; idite onamo te nam kupite otuda, da ostanemo živi i ne pomremo.
Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt; go down there, and buy for us a little food, that we may live, and not die.
3 I desetorica braæe Josifove otidoše da kupe žita u Misiru.
And the ten brethren of Joseph went down to buy corn out of Egypt.
4 A Venijamina brata Josifova ne pusti otac s braæom govoreæi: da ga ne bi zadesilo kakvo zlo.
But [Jacob] sent not Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, with his brethren; for he said, Lest, haply, disease befall him.
5 I doðoše sinovi Izrailjevi da kupe žita s ostalima koji dolažahu; jer bješe glad u zemlji Hananskoj.
And the sons of Israel came to buy with those that came, for the famine was in the land of Chanaan.
6 A Josif upravljaše zemljom, i prodavaše žito svemu narodu po zemlji. I braæa Josifova došavši pokloniše mu se licem do zemlje.
And Joseph was ruler of the land; he sold to all the people of the land. And the brethren of Joseph, having come, did reverence to him, [bowing] with the face to the ground.
7 A Josif ugledav braæu svoju pozna ih; ali se uèini da ih ne poznaje, i oštro im progovori i reèe: odakle ste došli? A oni rekoše: iz zemlje Hananske, da kupimo hrane.
And when Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them, and estranged himself from them, and spoke hard words to them; and said to them, Whence are you come? And they said, Out of the land of Chanaan, to buy food.
8 Josif dakle pozna braæu svoju; ali oni njega ne poznaše.
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
9 I opomenu se Josif sanova koje je snio za njih; i reèe im: vi ste uhode; došli ste da vidite gdje je zemlja slaba.
And Joseph remembered his dream, which he saw; and he said to them, You are spies; to observe the marks of the land are you come.
10 A oni mu rekoše: nijesmo, gospodaru; nego sluge tvoje doðoše da kupe hrane.
But they said, Nay, Sir, we your servants are come to buy food;
11 Svi smo sinovi jednoga èovjeka, pošteni ljudi, nigda nijesu sluge tvoje bile uhode.
we are all sons of one man; we are peaceful, your servants are not spies.
12 A on im reèe: nije istina, nego ste došli da vidite gdje je zemlja slaba.
And he said to them, Nay, but you are come to observe the marks of the land.
13 A oni rekoše: nas je bilo dvanaest braæe, sluga tvojih, sinova jednoga èovjeka u zemlji Hananskoj; i eno, najmlaði je danas kod oca našega, a jednoga nema više.
And they said, We your servants are twelve brethren, in the land of Chanaan; and, behold, the youngest is with our father today, but the other one is not.
14 A Josif im reèe: kažem ja da ste vi uhode.
And Joseph said to them, This is it that I spoke to you, saying, you are spies;
15 Nego hoæu da se uvjerim ovako: tako živ bio Faraon, neæete izaæi odavde dokle ne doðe amo najmlaði brat vaš.
herein shall you be manifested; by the health of Pharao, you shall not depart hence, unless your younger brother come here.
16 Pošljite jednoga izmeðu sebe neka dovede brata vašega, a vi æete ostati ovdje u tamnici, pa æu vidjeti je li istina što govorite; inaèe ste uhode, tako živ bio Faraon!
Send one of you, and take your brother; and go you to prison, till your words be clear, whether you speak the truth or not; but, if not, by the health of Pharao, verily you are spies.
17 I zatvori ih u tamnicu na tri dana.
And he put them in prison three days.
18 A treæi dan reèe im Josif: ako ste radi životu, ovo uèinite, jer se ja Boga bojim:
And he said to them on the third day, This do, and you shall live, for I fear God.
19 Ako ste pošteni ljudi, jedan brat izmeðu vas neka ostane u tamnici, a vi idite i odnesite žita koliko treba porodicama vašim.
If you be peaceful, let one of your brethren be detained in prison; but go you, and carry back the corn you have purchased.
20 Pa onda dovedite k meni najmlaðega brata svojega da se posvjedoèe rijeèi vaše i da ne izginete. I oni uèiniše tako.
And bring your younger brother to me, and your words shall be believed; but, if not, you shall die. And they did so.
21 I rekoše jedan drugom: doista se ogriješismo o brata svojega, jer vidjesmo muku duše njegove kad nam se moljaše, pa ga se oglušismo; zato doðe na nas ova muka.
And each said to his brother, Yes, indeed, for we are in fault concerning our brother, when we disregarded the anguish of his soul, when he implored us, and we listened not to him; and therefore has this affliction come upon us.
22 A Ruvim odgovori im govoreæi: nijesam li vam govorio: nemojte se griješiti o dijete? ali me ne poslušaste; i zato se evo traži od nas krv njegova.
And Ruben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Hurt not the boy, and you heard me not? and, behold, his blood is required.
23 A oni ne znadijahu da ih Josif razumije, jer se s njim razgovarahu preko tumaèa.
But they knew not that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.
24 A Josif okrete se od njih, i zaplaka se. Potom se opet okrete k njima, i progovori s njima, i uzev izmeðu njih Simeuna veza ga pred njima.
And Joseph turned away from them, and wept; and again he came to them, and spoke to them; and he took Symeon from them, and bound him before their eyes.
25 I zapovjedi Josif da im naspu vreæe žita, pa i novce što je koji dao da metnu svakome u vreæu, i da im dadu brašnjenice na put. I tako bi uèinjeno.
And Joseph gave orders to fill their vessels with corn, and to return their money to each into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and it was so done to them.
26 I natovarivši žito svoje na magarce svoje otidoše.
And having put the corn on the asses, they departed thence.
27 A jedan od njih otvoriv svoju vreæu da nahrani magarca svojega u jednoj gostionici, vidje novce svoje ozgo u vreæi.
And one having opened his sack to give his asses fodder, at the place where they rested, saw also his bundle of money, for it was on the mouth of his sack.
28 I reèe braæi svojoj: ja dobih natrag novce svoje, evo ih u mojoj vreæi. I zadrhta srce u njima i uplašiše se govoreæi jedan drugome: što nam to uèini Bog?
And he said to his brethren, My money has been restored to me, and behold this is in my sack. And their heart was wonder-struck, and they were troubled, saying one to another, What is this that God has done to us?
29 I došavši k Jakovu ocu svojemu u zemlju Hanansku, pripovjediše mu sve što im se dogodi, govoreæi:
And they came to their father, Jacob, into the land of Chanaan, and reported to him all that had happened to them, saying,
30 Oštro govoraše s nama èovjek, koji zapovijeda u onoj zemlji, i doèeka nas kao uhode.
The man, the lord of the land, spoke harsh words to us, and put us in prison as spies of the land.
31 A kad mu rekosmo: mi smo pošteni ljudi, nigda nijesmo bili uhode;
And we said to him, We are men of peace, we are not spies.
32 Bilo nas je dvanaest braæe, sinova oca našega; jednoga veæ nema, a najmlaði je danas kod oca našega u zemlji Hananskoj;
We are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is with his father today in the land of Chanaan.
33 Reèe nam èovjek, koji zapovijeda u onoj zemlji: ovako æu doznati jeste li pošteni ljudi: brata jednoga izmeðu sebe ostavite kod mene, a što vam treba za porodice vaše gladi radi, uzmite i idite.
And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Herein shall I know that you are peaceful; leave one brother here with me, and having taken the corn you have purchased for your family, depart.
34 Poslije dovedite k meni brata svojega najmlaðega, da se uvjerim da nijeste uhode nego pošteni ljudi; brata æu vam vratiti, i moæi æete trgovati po ovoj zemlji.
And bring to me your younger brother; then I shall know that you are not spies, but that you are men of peace: and I will restore you your brother, and you shall trade in the land.
35 A kad izruèivahu vreæe svoje, gle, svakome u vreæi bjehu u zavežljaju novci njegovi; i vidjevši zavežljaje novaca svojih uplašiše se i oni i otac im.
And it came to pass as they were emptying their sacks, there was each man's bundle of money in his sack; and they and their father saw their bundles of money, and they were afraid.
36 I reèe im Jakov otac njihov: potrste mi djecu; Josifa nema, Simeuna nema, pa hoæete i Venijamina da uzmete; sve se skupilo na me.
And their father Jacob said to them, You have bereaved me. Joseph is not, Symeon is not, and will you take Benjamin? all these things have come upon me.
37 A Ruvim progovori i reèe ocu svojemu: dva sina moja ubij, ako ti ga ne dovedem natrag; daj ga u moje ruke, i ja æu ti ga opet dovesti.
And Ruben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to you; give him into my hand, and I will bring him back to you.
38 A on reèe: neæe iæi sin moj s vama, jer je brat njegov umro i on osta sam, pa ako bi ga zadesilo kako zlo na putu na koji æete iæi, svalili biste me stara s tugom u grob. (Sheol h7585)
But he said, My son shall not go down with you, because his brother is dead, and he only has been left; and [suppose] it shall come to pass that he is afflicted by the way by which you go, then you shall bring down my old age with sorrow to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
