Postanak 42
1 A Jakov videæi da ima žita u Misiru, reèe sinovima svojim: šta gledate jedan na drugoga?
And Jacob sees that there is grain in Egypt, and Jacob says to his sons, “Why do you look at each other?”
2 I reèe: eto èujem da u Misiru ima žita; idite onamo te nam kupite otuda, da ostanemo živi i ne pomremo.
He also says, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt, go down there, and buy for us from there, and we live and do not die”;
3 I desetorica braæe Josifove otidoše da kupe žita u Misiru.
and the ten brothers of Joseph go down to buy grain in Egypt,
4 A Venijamina brata Josifova ne pusti otac s braæom govoreæi: da ga ne bi zadesilo kakvo zlo.
and Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob has not sent with his brothers, for he said, “Lest harm meet him.”
5 I doðoše sinovi Izrailjevi da kupe žita s ostalima koji dolažahu; jer bješe glad u zemlji Hananskoj.
And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine has been in the land of Canaan,
6 A Josif upravljaše zemljom, i prodavaše žito svemu narodu po zemlji. I braæa Josifova došavši pokloniše mu se licem do zemlje.
and Joseph is the ruler over the land, he who is selling to all the people of the land, and Joseph’s brothers come and bow themselves to him—face to the earth.
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 Joseph sees his brothers, and discerns them, and makes himself strange to them, and speaks sharp things with them, and says to them, “From where have you come?” And they say, “From the land of Canaan—to buy food.”
8 Josif dakle pozna braæu svoju; ali oni njega ne poznaše.
And Joseph discerns his brothers, but they have not discerned 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 remembers the dreams which he dreamed of them and says to them, “You [are] spies; you have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
10 A oni mu rekoše: nijesmo, gospodaru; nego sluge tvoje doðoše da kupe hrane.
And they say to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food;
11 Svi smo sinovi jednoga èovjeka, pošteni ljudi, nigda nijesu sluge tvoje bile uhode.
we [are] all of us sons of one man, we [are] right men; your servants have not been spies”;
12 A on im reèe: nije istina, nego ste došli da vidite gdje je zemlja slaba.
and he says to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness 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 say, “Your servants [are] twelve brothers; we [are] sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and behold, the young one [is] with our father today, and one is not.”
14 A Josif im reèe: kažem ja da ste vi uhode.
And Joseph says to them, “This [is] that which I have spoken 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.
by this you are proved: [as] Pharaoh lives, if you go out from this—except by your young brother coming 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 let him bring your brother, and you, remain bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be with you: and if not, [as] Pharaoh lives, surely you [are] spies”;
17 I zatvori ih u tamnicu na tri dana.
and he gathers them into confinement [for] three days.
18 A treæi dan reèe im Josif: ako ste radi životu, ovo uèinite, jer se ja Boga bojim:
And Joseph says to them on the third day, “Do this and live; 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 [are] right men, let one of your brothers be bound in the house of your confinement, and you, go, carry in grain [for] the famine of your houses,
20 Pa onda dovedite k meni najmlaðega brata svojega da se posvjedoèe rijeèi vaše i da ne izginete. I oni uèiniše tako.
and you bring your young brother to me, and your words are established, and you do not die”; and they do 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 they say to one another, “Truly we [are] guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul, in his making supplication to us, and we did not listen: therefore this distress has come on 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 Reuben answers them, saying, “Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the boy? And you did not listen; and his blood also, behold, it is required.”
23 A oni ne znadijahu da ih Josif razumije, jer se s njim razgovarahu preko tumaèa.
And they have not known that Joseph understands, for the interpreter [is] 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 he turns around from them, and weeps, and turns back to them, and speaks to them, and takes Simeon from them, and binds 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 commands, and they fill their vessels [with] grain, also to put back the money of each of them into his sack, and to give to them provision for the way; and one does to them so.
26 I natovarivši žito svoje na magarce svoje otidoše.
And they lift up their grain on their donkeys, and go from there,
27 A jedan od njih otvoriv svoju vreæu da nahrani magarca svojega u jednoj gostionici, vidje novce svoje ozgo u vreæi.
and the one opens his sack to give provender to his donkey at a lodging-place, and he sees his money, and behold, it [is] in the mouth of his bag,
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 says to his brothers, “My money has been put back, and also, behold, in my bag”: and their heart goes out, and they tremble, to one another saying, “What [is] this 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 come to their father Jacob, to the land of Canaan, and they declare to him all the things meeting 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, has spoken with us sharp things, and makes us as spies of the land;
31 A kad mu rekosmo: mi smo pošteni ljudi, nigda nijesmo bili uhode;
and we say to him, We [are] right men, we have not been 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 brothers, sons of our father, one is not, and the young one [is] today with our father in the land of Canaan.
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, says to us, By this I know that you [are] right men—leave one of your brothers with me, and take [for] the famine of your houses and go,
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 your young brother to me, and I know that you [are] not spies, but you [are] right men; I give your brother to you, and you trade with 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 comes to pass, they are emptying their sacks, and behold, 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;
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 says to them, “You have bereaved me; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and Benjamin you take—all these [things] have been against 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 Reuben speaks to his father, saying, “You put to death my two sons, if I do not bring him to you; give him into my hand, and I 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)
and he says, “My son does not go down with you, for his brother [is] dead, and he by himself is left; when harm has met him in the way in which you go, then you have brought down my grey hairs in sorrow to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
