1 Mojzes 42
1 Torej ko je Jakob videl, da je bilo v Egiptu žito, je Jakob rekel svojim sinovom: »Zakaj gledate drug drugega?«
Now Jacob [Supplanter] saw that there was grain in Egypt [Abode of slavery], and Jacob [Supplanter] said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
2 Rekel je: »Glejte, slišal sem, da je v Egiptu žito, pojdite tja dol in ga kupite za nas od tod, da bomo lahko živeli in ne umrli.«
He said, “Behold, I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that there is grain in Egypt [Abode of slavery]. Go down there, and buy for us from there, so that we may live, and not die.”
3 Jožefovih deset bratov je odšlo dol, da bi v Egiptu nakupili žita.
Joseph [May he add]’s ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt [Abode of slavery].
4 Toda Jožefovega brata Benjamina Jakob ni poslal s svojimi brati, kajti rekel je: »Da ga ne bi morda doletela nesreča.«
But Jacob [Supplanter] didn’t send Benjamin [Son of right hand, Son of south], Joseph [May he add]’s brother, with his brothers; for he said, “Lest perhaps harm happen to him.”
5 Med temi, ki so prihajali, so prišli Izraelovi sinovi kupovat žito, kajti lakota je bila v kánaanski deželi.
The sons of Israel [God prevails] came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan [Humbled].
6 Jožef pa je bil guverner nad deželo in on je bil tisti, ki je prodajal vsemu ljudstvu dežele. In prišli so Jožefovi bratje in se priklonili pred njim s svojimi obrazi k zemlji.
Joseph [May he add] was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph [May he add]’s brothers came, and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the earth.
7 Jožef je zagledal svoje brate in jih prepoznal, toda naredil se jim je tujca in jim surovo govoril in jim rekel: »Od kod prihajate?« Rekli so: »Iz kánaanske dežele, da kupimo hrano.«
Joseph [May he add] saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but acted like a stranger to them, and spoke roughly with them. He said to them, “Where did you come from?” They said, “From the land of Canaan [Humbled] to buy food.”
8 Jožef je svoje brate prepoznal, oni pa ga niso prepoznali.
Joseph [May he add] recognized his brothers, but they didn’t recognize him.
9 Jožef se je spomnil sanj, ki jih je sanjal o njih in jim rekel: »Ogleduhi ste. Prišli ste, da vidite nezavarovanost dežele.«
Joseph [May he add] remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
10 Rekli so mu: »Ne, moj gospod, temveč so tvoji služabniki prišli kupit hrano.
They said to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.
11 Vsi smo sinovi enega moža. Mi smo zvesti možje, tvoji služabniki niso ogleduhi.«
We are all one man’s sons; we are honest men. Your servants are not spies.”
12 Rekel jim je: »Ne, temveč ste prišli, da vidite nezavarovanost dežele.«
He said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land!”
13 Rekli so: »Tvojih služabnikov je dvanajst bratov, sinovi enega moža v kánaanski deželi in glej, najmlajši je ta dan z našim očetom in enega ni.«
They said, “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan [Humbled]; and behold, the youngest is today with our father, and one is no more.”
14 Jožef pa jim je rekel: »To je to, kar sem vam govoril, « rekoč: »Ogleduhi ste.
Joseph [May he add] said to them, “It is like I told you, saying, ‘You are spies!’
15 S tem boste preizkušeni. Pri faraonovem življenju ne boste šli od tod, razen če ne pride sèm vaš najmlajši brat.
By this you shall be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go out from here, unless your youngest brother comes here.
16 Pošljite enega izmed vas in naj gre po vašega brata, vi pa boste zadržani v ječi, da se bodo vaše besede lahko dokazale, če je v vas kaj resnice, ali pa ste, pri faraonovem življenju, zagotovo ogleduhi.«
Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you shall be bound, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you, or else by the life of Pharaoh surely you are spies.”
17 Vse skupaj jih je za tri dni zaprl v ječo.
He put them all together into custody for three days.
18 Jožef jim je tretji dan rekel: »Storite to in živite, kajti bojim se Boga.
Joseph [May he add] said to them the third day, “Do this, and live, for I fear God.
19 Če ste pravi možje, naj bo eden izmed vas zvezan v hiši vaše ječe, vi pa pojdite, nesite žito za lakoto svojih hiš,
If you are honest men, then let one of your brothers be bound in your prison; but you go, carry grain for the famine of your houses.
20 toda svojega najmlajšega brata privedite k meni. Tako bodo vaše besede preverjene in ne boste umrli.« In storili so tako.
Bring your youngest brother to me; so will your words be verified, and you won’t die.” They did so.
21 Rekli so drug drugemu: »Mi smo resnično krivi glede svojega brata v tem, [da] smo videli tesnobo njegove duše, ko nas je rotil, pa mu nismo prisluhnili. Zato je nad nas prišla ta tegoba.«
They said to one another, “We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us, and we wouldn’t sh'ma ·hear obey·. Therefore this distress has come upon us.”
22 Ruben jim je odgovoril, rekoč: »Mar vam nisem govoril, rekoč: ›Ne grešite zoper otroka, ‹ pa me niste hoteli poslušati? Zato, glejte, tudi njegova kri je zahtevana.«
Reuben [See, a son!] answered them, saying, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘Don’t sin ·err (the standard goal)· against the child,’ and you wouldn’t sh'ma ·hear obey·? Therefore also, behold, his blood is required.”
23 Niso pa vedeli, da jih je Jožef razumel, kajti govoril jim je po tolmaču.
They didn’t know that Joseph [May he add] sh'ma ·hear understand obey· them; for there was an interpreter between them.
24 Obrnil se je okoli, proč od njih in zajokal. In ponovno se je vrnil k njim, se posvetoval z njimi in od njih vzel Simeona ter ga zvezal pred njihovimi očmi.
He turned himself away from them, and wept. Then he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon [Hearing] from among them, and bound him before their eyes.
25 Potem je Jožef zapovedal, da naj njihove vreče napolnijo z žitom in denar vsakega povrnejo v njegovo vrečo in jim dajo preskrbo z živežem za na pot. In tako so jim storili.
Then Joseph [May he add] gave an enjoinment to fill their bags with grain, and to restore each man’s money into his sack, and to give them food for the way. So it was done to them.
26 Svoje osle so natovorili z žitom in odpotovali od tam.
They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.
27 Ko pa je eden izmed njih odprl svojo vrečo, da da svojemu oslu krmo v gostišču, je odkril svoj denar, kajti, glej, ta je bil v ustju njegove vreče.
As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food in the lodging place, he saw his money. Behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
28 Svojim bratom je rekel: »Moj denar je povrnjen in glejte, ta je celo v moji vreči.« Njihovo srce jim je omagalo in bili so prestrašeni, rekoč drug drugemu: »Kaj je to, kar nam je storil Bog?«
He said to his brothers, “My money is restored! Behold, it is in my sack!” Their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29 Prišli so k svojemu očetu Jakobu v kánaansko deželo in mu povedali vse, kar se jim je pripetilo, rekoč:
They came to Jacob [Supplanter] their father, to the land of Canaan [Humbled], and told him all that had happened to them, saying,
30 »Mož, ki je gospodar dežele, nam je surovo govoril in nas prijel za ogleduhe dežele.
“The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country.
31 Mi pa smo mu rekli: ›Mi smo pravični možje, mi nismo ogleduhi.
We said to him, ‘We are honest men. We are no spies.
32 Nas je dvanajst bratov, sinov našega očeta. Enega ni, najmlajši pa je ta dan z našim očetom v kánaanski deželi.‹«
We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is today with our father in the land of Canaan [Humbled].’
33 Mož, gospodar dežele, pa nam je rekel: »S tem bom spoznal, da ste pravični možje. Enega izmed svojih bratov pustite tukaj z menoj in vzemite hrano za lakoto svojih družin in odidite.
The man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your houses, and go your way.
34 Svojega najmlajšega brata pa privedite k meni. Potem bom vedel, da niste ogleduhi, temveč, da ste pravični možje. Tako vam bom osvobodil vašega brata, vi pa boste preprodajali v deželi.«
Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and you shall trade in the land.’”
35 Pripetilo se je, ko so izpraznili svoje vreče, glej, da je bil sveženj denarja vsakega človeka v njegovi vreči. Ko so tako oni, kakor njihov oče, zagledali svežnje denarja, so bili prestrašeni.
As they emptied their sacks, behold, each man’s bundle of money was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid.
36 Njihov oče Jakob jim je rekel: »Oropali ste me mojih otrok. Jožefa ni in Simeona ni in proč hočete odvesti [še] Benjamina. Vse te stvari so zoper mene.«
Jacob [Supplanter], their father, said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children! Joseph [May he add] is no more, Simeon [Hearing] is no more, and you want to take Benjamin [Son of right hand, Son of south] away. All these things are against me.”
37 Ruben je spregovoril svojemu očetu: »Moja dva sinova ubij, če ga ne privedem k tebi. Izroči ga v mojo roko, jaz pa ga bom ponovno privedel k tebi.«
Reuben [See, a son!] spoke to his father, saying, “Kill my two sons, if I don’t bring him to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him to you again.”
38 Rekel je: »Moj sin ne bo šel dol s teboj, kajti njegov brat je mrtev, on pa je ostal sam. Če ga po poti, na katero greste, zadene nesreča, potem boste moje sive lase z bridkostjo privedli do groba.« (Sheol h7585)
He said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm happens to him along the way in which you go, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol ·Place of the dead·.” (Sheol h7585)
