Genesis 44
1 Then he instructed the manager of his house, saying, "Fill the men's sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each man's silver in the mouth of his sack.
И заповеди Јосиф човеку што управљаше кућом његовом говорећи: Наспи овим људима у вреће жита колико могу понети, и свакоме у врећу метни озго новце његове.
2 Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, along with the silver for his grain." So he did according to the word that Joseph had told him.
И чашу моју, чашу сребрну, метни најмлађем у врећу одозго и новце за његово жито. И учини како му Јосиф рече.
3 As soon as the morning dawned, the men were sent off along with their donkeys.
А ујутру кад свану, отпустише људе с магарцима њиховим.
4 When they were far from the city, Joseph said to his manager, "Up, go after the men, and when you overtake them, ask them, 'Why have you repaid evil for good?
А кад изађоше из места и још не беху далеко, рече Јосиф човеку што управљаше кућом његовом: Устани, иди брже за оним људима, и кад их стигнеш реци им: Зашто враћате зло за добро?
5 Why have you stolen my silver cup? Isn't it from this that my lord drinks and by which he indeed uses for divination? You have done evil in doing this.'"
Није ли то чаша из које пије мој господар? И неће ли по њој зацело познати какви сте? Зло сте радили што сте то учинили.
6 And he caught up with them and spoke these words to them.
И он их стиже, и рече им тако.
7 But they said to him, "Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing.
А они му рекоше: Зашто говориш, господару, такве речи? Сачувај Боже да слуге твоје учине такво шта!
8 Look, the money that we found in the mouths of our sacks we brought back to you from the land of Canaan. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord's house?
Ено смо ти донели натраг из земље хананске новце које нађосмо озго у врећама својим, па како бисмо украли из куће господара твог сребро или злато?
9 With whomever of your servants it is found, he must die, and we also will be my lord's slaves."
У ког се између слуга твојих нађе, онај нека погине, и сврх тога ми ћемо бити робови господару мом.
10 And he said, "Very well, then, it will be as you say. The one with whom it is found will be my slave, but you will be blameless."
А он рече: Нека буде како рекосте; али у кога се нађе, онај да ми буде роб, а ви остали нећете бити криви.
11 Then they hurried, and each man lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
И брже поскидаше сви на земљу вреће своје, и разрешише сваки своју врећу.
12 And he searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
А он стаде тражити почевши од најстаријег, и кад дође на најмлађег, нађе се чаша у врећи Венијаминовој.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey and returned to the city.
Тада раздреше хаљине своје, и натоваривши сваки свој товар на свог магарца вратише се у град.
14 So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, and he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.
И дође Јуда с браћом својом Јосифу у кућу, док он још беше код куће, и падоше пред њим на земљу.
15 And Joseph said to them, "What is this deed that you have done? Didn't you know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"
А Јосиф им рече: Шта сте то учинили? Зар нисте знали да човек као што сам ја може зацело дознати?
16 Then Judah said, "What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? And how can we clear ourselves? God has uncovered the guilt of your servants. Look, we are my lord's slaves, both we, and the one in whose possession the cup was found."
Тада рече Јуда: Шта да ти кажемо, господару? Шта да говоримо? Како ли да се правдамо? Бог је открио злочинство твојих слуга. Ево, ми смо сви робови твоји, господару, и ми и овај у кога се нашла чаша.
17 But he said, "Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose possession the cup was found, he will be my slave. But as for you, go up to your father in peace."
А Јосиф рече: Боже сачувај! Нећу ја то; у кога се нашла чаша он нека ми буде роб, а ви идите с миром оцу свом.
18 Then Judah approached him, and said, "My lord, please allow your servant to speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not become angry with your servant, for you are like Pharaoh himself.
Али Јуда приступив к њему рече: Чуј ме, господару; допусти да проговори слуга твој господару свом, и нека се гнев твој не распали на слугу твог, јер си ти као сам Фараон.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, 'Do you have a father or a brother?'
Господар мој запита слуге своје говорећи: Имате ли оца или брата?
20 And we said to my lord, 'We have a father, an old man, and a child born when he was old, a little one, and his brother is dead, and he is his mother's only child, and his father loves him.'
А ми рекосмо господару свом: Имамо старог оца и брата најмлађег, који му се роди у старости; а његов је брат умро, и он оста сам од матере своје, и отац га пази.
21 Then you said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me, so that I can see him myself.'
А ти рече слугама својим: Доведите ми га да видим својим очима.
22 And we said to my lord, 'The boy can't leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.'
И рекосмо господару свом: Неће моћи дете оставити оца свог; да остави оца свог, одмах ће отац умрети.
23 But you said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.'
А ти рече слугама својим: Ако не дође брат ваш најмлађи, нећете видети лице моје.
24 And it happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
А кад се вратисмо к слузи твом а оцу мом, казасмо му речи господара мог.
25 But our father said, 'Go again, buy us a little food.'
После рече нам отац: Идите опет, купите нам хране.
26 We said, 'We can't go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down, for we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.'
А ми рекосмо: Не можемо ићи, осим ако буде брат наш најмлађи с нама, онда ћемо ићи, јер не можемо видети лица оног човека, ако не буде с нама брат наш најмлађи.
27 Then your servant my father said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons.
А слуга твој, отац мој, рече нам: Знате да ми је жена родила два сина.
28 And the one disappeared from me, and I said, "Surely he is torn in pieces." And I haven't seen him since.
И један од њих отиде од мене, и рекох: Зацело га је раскинула зверка; и до сада га не видех.
29 If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Ако и овог одведете од мене и задеси га како зло, свалићете ме старог у гроб с тугом. (Sheol h7585)
30 So now, when I come to your servant my father and the boy is not with us, since his life is bound up in the boy's life,
Па сада да отидем к слузи твом, оцу свом, а ово дете да не буде с нама, како је душа оног везана за душу овог,
31 it will happen, when he sees that the boy is not with us, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Умреће кад види да нема детета, те ће слуге твоје свалити старог слугу твог, а оца свог, с тугом у гроб. (Sheol h7585)
32 For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, 'If I do not bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.'
А твој се слуга подјемчио за дете оцу свом рекавши: Ако ти га не доведем натраг, да сам крив оцу свом до века.
33 So now, please let your servant remain instead of the boy, a slave to my lord, and let the boy go up with his brothers.
Зато нека слуга твој остане место детета, да буде роб господару мом, а дете нека иде с браћом својом.
34 For how will I go up to my father if the boy isn't with me? I could not bear to see the misery that would come on my father."
Јер како бих се вратио к оцу свом без детета, да гледам јаде који би ми оца задесили?
