Postanak 42

1 A Jakov videæi da ima žita u Misiru, reèe sinovima svojim: šta gledate jedan na drugoga?

Then saw Jacob that there was corn in Egypt, —and Jacob said to his sons, Wherefore look ye one at another?

2 I reèe: eto èujem da u Misiru ima žita; idite onamo te nam kupite otuda, da ostanemo živi i ne pomremo.

And he said, Lo I have heard that there is corn in Egypt, —Go down thither and buy corn for us from thence, that we may live and not die.

3 I desetorica braæe Josifove otidoše da kupe žita u Misiru.

So Joseph’s ten brethren went down, —to buy corn from the Egyptians;

4 A Venijamina brata Josifova ne pusti otac s braæom govoreæi: da ga ne bi zadesilo kakvo zlo.

but, Benjamin, Joseph’s own brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren, —for he said, Lest there befall him any mischief.

5 I doðoše sinovi Izrailjevi da kupe žita s ostalima koji dolažahu; jer bješe glad u zemlji Hananskoj.

Thus came in the sons of Israel, to buy corn in the midst of them that came—for the famine was 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.

Now, Joseph—he, it was, that was in power over the land, he, it was that was selling corn to all the people of the land, —so Joseph’s brethren came in, and bowed themselves down to him, with their faces 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 beheld his brethren and recognised them, —and made himself a stranger unto them and spake with them harsh things and said unto them—Whence have ye come in? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food.

8 Josif dakle pozna braæu svoju; ali oni njega ne poznaše.

And Joseph recognised his brethren, —whereas they, recognised him not.

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 the dreams which he had dreamed regarding them, —so he said unto them—Spies, are, ye! to see the nakedness of the land, have ye come in!

10 A oni mu rekoše: nijesmo, gospodaru; nego sluge tvoje doðoše da kupe hrane.

And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, —but, thy servants, are come to buy food.

11 Svi smo sinovi jednoga èovjeka, pošteni ljudi, nigda nijesu sluge tvoje bile uhode.

All of us, are, sons of one man, —honest men, are we: thy servants are not, spies.

12 A on im reèe: nije istina, nego ste došli da vidite gdje je zemlja slaba.

And he said unto him, —Nay! but, the nakedness of the land, are ye come in to see.

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, thy twelve servants, are, brethren, sons of one man in the and of Canaan, —and lo! the youngest: is with our father this day, and, the one, is not!

14 A Josif im reèe: kažem ja da ste vi uhode.

And Joseph said unto them, —The very thing, that I spake unto you, saying—Spies, are, ye.

15 Nego hoæu da se uvjerim ovako: tako živ bio Faraon, neæete izaæi odavde dokle ne doðe amo najmlaði brat vaš.

Hereby, shall ye be proved, —By the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not go forth from hence, save only by the coming in of your youngest brother hither.

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—from among you—one that he may fetch your brother, but be, ye, held as prisoners, that your words may be proved whether, truth, is with you, —and, if not, by the life of Pharaoh, surely, spies, ye are.

17 I zatvori ih u tamnicu na tri dana.

So he drew them all together into ward, for three days.

18 A treæi dan reèe im Josif: ako ste radi životu, ovo uèinite, jer se ja Boga bojim:

And Joseph said unto them on the third day, This, do and live, —God himself, do, I, revere.

19 Ako ste pošteni ljudi, jedan brat izmeðu vas neka ostane u tamnici, a vi idite i odnesite žita koliko treba porodicama vašim.

If ye, are, honest men, one brother of you shall be kept as a prisoner in your house of ward, —but, ye, go, take in corn 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 your youngest brother, shall ye bring in unto me, that your words may be confirmed, and ye die not. 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 they said each man unto his brother—Verily guilty, we are, respecting our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul when he appealed unto us for favour and we hearkened not, —therefore, hath come in unto us this distress.

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 responded to them, saying—Spake I not unto you saying, Do not sin against the child! And ye hearkened not? His very blood, therefore lo! it is required.

23 A oni ne znadijahu da ih Josif razumije, jer se s njim razgovarahu preko tumaèa.

But, they, knew not that Joseph was hearkening, —for, the interpreter, was 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.

So he turned away from them, and wept, —then came back unto them and spake unto them, and took away from them Simeon, and bound him prisoner 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.

Then commanded Joseph that their bags should be filled with corn, and their silver be returned each man’s into his sack, and provision be given for the journey, —and it was done to them thus.

26 I natovarivši žito svoje na magarce svoje otidoše.

So they lifted up their corn on their asses, —and went their way, from thence.

27 A jedan od njih otvoriv svoju vreæu da nahrani magarca svojega u jednoj gostionici, vidje novce svoje ozgo u vreæi.

And the first opened his sack to give fodder to his ass at the inn, —and beheld his silver, yea there, it was in 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?

So he said unto his brethren My silver hath been returned, yea verily, there it is in my sack! Then went forth their heart and they turned trembling—each man unto his brother saying. What is this that God hath done to us?

29 I došavši k Jakovu ocu svojemu u zemlju Hanansku, pripovjediše mu sve što im se dogodi, govoreæi:

So they came in unto Jacob their father to the land of Canaan, —and told him all that had befallen them saying:

30 Oštro govoraše s nama èovjek, koji zapovijeda u onoj zemlji, i doèeka nas kao uhode.

The man that is lord of the land spake unto us harsh things, —and then delivered us up. as spies of the land.

31 A kad mu rekosmo: mi smo pošteni ljudi, nigda nijesmo bili uhode;

And we said unto him Honest men, are, we, —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;

Twelve brethren, are, we, sons of our father, —the one, is not, and the youngest is this day 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.

Then said the man the lord of the land unto us, Hereby, shall I get to know that honest men, ye are, —One brother of you, leave ye remaining with me, and corn for the famine of your houses, take ye and go your way;

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 ye in your youngest brother unto me, So must I get to know that ye are, not spies, but are honest men: Your brother, will I give up to you, and with the land, shall ye traffic.

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 when, they, were emptying their, sacks then lo! each man’s bundle of silver, was in his sack, —and when they beheld their bundles of silver—they and their father, 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 Jacob their father said unto them, Me, have ye bereaved, —Joseph, is not, and, Simeon, is not, and Benjamin, ye would take! Against me, have happened all these things.

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.

Then spake Reuben unto his father saying, My two sons, shalt thou put to death, if I bring him not unto thee, —Come give him up upon my hand, and I, will restore him unto thee.

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 said, My son shall not go down with you, —For, his brother, is dead and, he alone, is left, and as surely as there befall him any mischief by the way wherein ye go, so surely shall ye bring down my grey hairs with sorrow unto hades. (Sheol h7585)
