Genesis 44
1 He commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
I zapovjedi Josif èovjeku što upravljaše kuæom njegovom govoreæi: naspi ovijem ljudima u vreæe žita koliko mogu ponijeti, i svakome u vreæu metni ozgo novce njegove.
2 Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money.” He did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
I èašu moju, èašu srebrnu, metni najmlaðemu u vreæu ozgo i novce za njegovo žito. I uèini kako mu Josif reèe.
3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
A ujutru kad svanu, otpustiše ljude s magarcima njihovijem.
4 When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, ‘Why have you rewarded evil for good?
A kad izaðoše iz mjesta i još ne bijahu daleko, reèe Josif èovjeku što upravljaše kuæom njegovom: ustani, idi brže za onijem ljudima, i kad ih stigneš reci im: zašto vraæate zlo za dobro?
5 Isn’t this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.’”
Nije li to èaša iz koje pije moj gospodar? i neæe li po njoj zacijelo poznati kakvi ste? zlo ste radili što ste to uèinili.
6 He overtook them, and he spoke these words to them.
I on ih stiže, i reèe im tako.
7 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!
A oni mu rekoše: zašto govoriš, gospodaru, take rijeèi? Saèuvaj Bože da sluge tvoje uèine tako što!
8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house?
Eno smo ti donijeli natrag iz zemlje Hananske novce koje naðosmo ozgo u vreæama svojim, pa kako bismo ukrali iz kuæe gospodara tvojega srebro ili zlato?
9 With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.”
U kojega se izmeðu sluga tvojih naðe, onaj neka pogine, i svrh toga mi æemo biti robovi gospodaru mojemu.
10 He said, “Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom it is found will be my slave; and you will be blameless.”
A on reèe: neka bude kako rekoste; ali u koga se naðe, onaj da mi bude rob, a vi ostali neæete biti krivi.
11 Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
I brže poskidaše svi na zemlju vreæe svoje, i razdriješiše svaki svoju vreæu.
12 He searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
A on stade tražiti poèev od najstarijega, i kad doðe na najmlaðega, naðe se èaša u vreæi Venijaminovoj.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.
Tada razdriješe haljine svoje, i natovarivši svaki svoj tovar na svojega magarca vratiše se u grad.
14 Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.
I doðe Juda s braæom svojom Josifu u kuæu, dok on još bijaše kod kuæe, i padoše pred njim na zemlju.
15 Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed do divination?”
A Josif im reèe: šta ste to uèinili? zar nijeste znali da èovjek kao što sam ja može zacijelo doznati?
16 Judah said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? How will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we and he also in whose hand the cup is found.”
Tada reèe Juda: šta da ti reèemo, gospodaru? šta da govorimo? kako li da se pravdamo? Bog je otkrio zloèinstvo tvojih sluga. Evo, mi smo svi robovi tvoji, gospodaru, i mi i ovaj u koga se našla èaša.
17 He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”
A Josif reèe: Bože saèuvaj! neæu ja to; u koga se našla èaša on neka mi bude rob, a vi idite s mirom ocu svojemu.
18 Then Judah came near to him, and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.
Ali Juda pristupiv k njemu reèe: èuj me, gospodaru; dopusti da progovori sluga tvoj gospodaru svojemu, i neka se gnjev tvoj ne raspali na slugu tvojega, jer si ti kao sam Faraon.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father, or a brother?’
Gospodar moj zapita sluge svoje govoreæi: imate li oca ili brata?
20 We said to my lord, ‘We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.’
A mi rekosmo gospodaru svojemu: imamo stara oca i brata najmlaðega, koji mu se rodi u starosti; a njegov je brat umro, i on osta sam od matere svoje, i otac ga pazi.
21 You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’
A ti reèe slugama svojim: dovedite mi ga da ga vidim svojim oèima.
22 We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’
I rekosmo gospodaru svojemu: neæe moæi dijete ostaviti oca svojega; da ostavi oca svojega, odmah æe otac umrijeti.
23 You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’
A ti reèe slugama svojim: ako ne doðe s vama brat vaš najmlaði, neæete više vidjeti lica mojega.
24 When we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
A kad se vratismo k sluzi tvojemu a ocu mojemu, kazasmo mu rijeèi gospodara mojega.
25 Our father said, ‘Go again and buy us a little food.’
Poslije reèe nam otac: idite opet, kupite nam hrane.
26 We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’
A mi rekosmo: ne možemo iæi, osim ako bude brat naš najmlaði s nama, onda æemo iæi, jer ne možemo vidjeti lica onoga èovjeka, ako ne bude s nama brat naš najmlaði.
27 Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.
A sluga tvoj, otac moj, reèe nam: znate da mi je žena rodila dva sina.
28 One went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces;” and I haven’t seen him since.
I jedan od njih otide od mene, i rekoh: zacijelo ga je raskinula zvjerka; i do sada ga ne vidjeh.
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)
Ako i ovoga odvedete od mene i zadesi ga kakvo zlo, svaliæete me stara u grob s tugom. (Sheol h7585)
30 Now therefore 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;
Pa sada da otidem k sluzi tvojemu, ocu svojemu, a ovo dijete da ne bude s nama, kako je duša onoga vezana za dušu ovoga,
31 it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Umrijeæe kad vidi da nema djeteta, te æe sluge tvoje svaliti staroga slugu tvojega a oca svojega s tugom u grob. (Sheol h7585)
32 For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’
A tvoj se sluga podjemèio za dijete ocu svojemu rekav: ako ti ga ne dovedem natrag, da sam kriv ocu svojemu dovijeka.
33 Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, my lord’s slave; and let the boy go up with his brothers.
Zato neka sluga tvoj ostane mjesto djeteta da bude rob gospodaru mojemu a dijete neka ide s braæom svojom.
34 For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?—lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”
Jer kako bih se vratio k ocu svojemu bez djeteta, da gledam jade koji bi mi oca zadesili?
