Pirmā Mozus 43

1 Un bads bija grūts tanī zemē.

Now the famine was severe in the land.

2 Un kad tā labība, ko tie no Ēģiptes bija atveduši, jau bija izlietojuši, tad viņu tēvs uz tiem sacīja: noejat atkal un pērciet mums maizes kādu mazumu.

So it came about when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said to them, "Go again, buy us a little more food."

3 Un Jūda uz to runāja un sacīja: tas vīrs mums stipri piekodinājis un sacījis: jūs manu vaigu neredzēsiet, ja jūsu brālis nav jums līdz.

But Judah spoke to him, saying, "The man strictly warned us, saying, 'You may not see my face unless your brother is with you.'

4 Ja tad tu mūsu brāli mums sūtīsi līdz, tad mēs gribam noiet un pirkt maizes priekš tevis.

If you'll send our brother with us, we'll go down and buy you food,

5 Bet ja tu to nesūtīsi, tad mēs nenoiesim, jo tas vīrs mums ir sacījis: jums nebūs manu vaigu redzēt, ja jūsu jaunākais brālis jums nav līdz.

but if you will not send him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, 'You may not see my face unless your brother is with you.'"

6 Tad Israēls sacīja: kāpēc jūs man tik ļauni esat darījuši, tam vīram sacīdami, ka jums vēl viens brālis esot?

Then Israel said, "Why did you bring this trouble on me by telling the man that you had another brother?"

7 Un tie sacīja: tas vīrs jautāja jautādams pēc mums un pēc mūsu radiem un sacīja: vai jūsu tēvs vēl dzīvs? Vai jums vēl viens brālis? Tad mēs viņam atbildējām, kā viņš mums jautāja; kā tad mēs to varējām zināt, ka tas sacīs: vediet savu brāli šurp?

They said, "The man kept asking about ourselves, and concerning our relatives, saying, 'Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?' So we just answered his questions. How were we to know that he would say, 'Bring your brother down?'"

8 Tad Jūda sacīja uz Israēli, savu tēvu: sūti to zēnu man līdz, tad mēs celsimies un noiesim, lai dzīvojam un nemirstam, ne mēs, ne tu pats, ne mūsu bērniņi.

Then Judah said to his father Israel, "Send the boy with me and we'll get up and go, so that we may live and not die, both we and you, and also our little ones.

9 Es galvoju par viņu, no manas rokas tev būs viņu prasīt; ja es to pie tevis nevedīšu atpakaļ un to nestādīšu priekš tavām acīm, tad es visu savu mūžu gribu noziedzīgs būt tavā priekšā.

I will be collateral for him. You can hold me responsible for him. If I fail to bring him to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever,

10 Jo ja mēs nebūtu kavējušies, mēs tagad jau otru reizi būtu pārnākuši.

for if we hadn't delayed, surely we would have returned a second time by now."

11 Tad viņu tēvs Israēls uz tiem sacīja: ja tam nu tā būs būt, tad dariet tā: ņemiet no šās zemes visteicamiem augļiem savos traukos un nonesiet tam vīram dāvanu, balzama kādu mazumu un kādu mazumu medus, dārgas zāles un mirres, riekstus un mandeles.

Then their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best fruits of the land in your bags and bring a gift for the man, a little balm, a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.

12 Ņemiet arīdzan otrtik naudas savā rokā, un to naudu, kas jūsu maisu virsgalā atlikta, nesiet atpakaļ savā rokā, tiem jau tur būs misējies.

Take twice as much silver in your hand, and take back the silver that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was an oversight.

13 Ņemiet arī savu brāli un ceļaties un ejat atkal pie tā vīra.

Take your brother also, and get up, go back to the man.

14 Bet tas visuvarenais Dievs lai jums dod žēlastību tā vīra priekšā, ka tas atlaiž jūsu otru brāli un Benjaminu. Bet es esmu tā kā kam bērni rautin atrauti.

And may El Shaddai grant you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am deprived of my children, then I am deprived."

15 Tad tie vīri ņēma to dāvanu, un ņēma otrtik naudas savā rokā un Benjaminu, un cēlās un nogāja uz Ēģiptes zemi un stājās Jāzepa priekšā.

The men took this gift, and they took twice as much silver with them, and Benjamin. Then they got up and went down to Egypt, and presented themselves before Joseph.

16 Kad nu Jāzeps Benjaminu pie tiem ieraudzīja, tad viņš sacīja tam, kas bija pār viņa namu: ieved tos vīrus namā un nokauj kādu kaujamu lopu un taisi ēdienu, jo tie vīri pie manis ēdīs pusdienu.

When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the servant of his house, "Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal and prepare it; for the men will eat with me at noon."

17 Un tas vīrs darīja, kā Jāzeps bija sacījis, un tas vīrs ieveda tos vīrus Jāzepa namā.

The man did as Joseph had said, and the man brought the men to Joseph's house.

18 Tad tie vīri bijās, kad tos veda Jāzepa namā, un sacīja: tās naudas dēļ, ko viņu reiz' atdabūjām savos maisos, mēs esam ievesti, lai viņš mums var uzbrukt un mums uzmākties un mūs par vergiem ņemt un mūsu ēzeļus.

But the men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph's house, and they said, "It is because of the silver that was returned in our sacks the first time that we are brought here; so that he may capture us, and make us slaves, and take our donkeys."

19 Tad tie piegāja pie tā vīra, kas bija pār Jāzepa namu, un runāja ar to priekš nama durvīm

So they came near to the man of Joseph's house and they spoke to him at the entrance of the house,

20 Un sacīja: ak mans kungs, mums viņu reiz' bija jānāk, labības pirkt.

and said, "My lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food.

21 Un kad bijām nākuši mājas vietā un atraisījām savus maisus, redzi, tad ikvienam tā nauda bija viņa maisa virsgalā ar pilnu svaru, un mēs to esam atkal atnesuši savā rokā.

But when we came to the lodging place, we opened our sacks, and look, every man's silver was in the mouth of his sack, our silver in full weight. So we have brought it back in our hand.

22 Mēs arī esam atnesuši citu naudu savā rokā, maizes pirkt, mēs nezinām, kas mūsu naudu mūsu maisos ielicis.

We have brought down additional silver with us to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks."

23 Un tas sacīja: esiet ar mieru, nebīstaties! Jūsu Dievs un jūsu tēva Dievs jums devis jūsu maisos apslēptu mantu; jūsu nauda man rokā tikusi. Un viņš izveda Sīmeanu pie tiem ārā.

He said, "Peace to you. Do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks. I received your silver." Then he brought Simeon out to them.

24 Pēc viņš tos vīrus ieveda Jāzepa namā un tiem deva ūdeni, un tie mazgāja savas kājas; un viņš deva viņu ēzeļiem ēdamo.

The man brought the men into Joseph's house and gave them water, and they washed their feet. Then he gave their donkeys food.

25 Un tie sataisīja to dāvanu, tiekams Jāzeps nāca uz pusdienu; jo tie bija dzirdējuši, ka tiem tur bija maizi ēst.

They prepared the gift for Joseph's arrival at noon, for they heard that they would eat a meal there.

26 Kad nu Jāzeps nāca namā, tad tie viņam namā atnesa to dāvanu, kas bija viņu rokās, un metās viņa priekšā pie zemes.

When Joseph came home, they prepared the gift they had brought with them into the house, and bowed themselves down to him with their face to the ground.

27 Un viņš jautāja, kā tiem klājās, un sacīja: kā klājās jūsu vecajam tēvam, par ko jūs stāstījāt? Vai viņš vēl dzīvs?

Then he asked them of their welfare, and said, "Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?"

28 Un tie sacīja: tavam kalpam, mūsu tēvam, labi klājās, viņš vēl dzīvs; un tie noliecās un klanījās.

And they answered, "Your servant, our father, is well. He is still alive." Then he said, "Blessed be that man by God." And they bowed and prostrated themselves.

29 Un viņš pacēla savas acis un ieraudzīja savu brāli Benjaminu, savas mātes dēlu, un sacīja: vai šis ir jūsu jaunākais brālis, par ko man stāstījāt? Un viņš sacīja: Dievs lai tev žēlīgs, mans dēls!

And he looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you told me about?" Then he said, "God be gracious to you, my son."

30 Un Jāzeps steidzās, jo viņa sirds iesila uz savu brāli, un viņš meklēja, kur raudāt, un iegāja kambarī un tur raudāja.

Then Joseph hurried out, for he was overcome with emotion because of his brother, and he was at the point of tears. So he entered into his chamber and wept there.

31 Un viņš mazgāja savu vaigu un nāca ārā un savaldījās un sacīja: celiet maizi priekšā.

Then he washed his face and came out. And he controlled himself and said, "Serve the food."

32 Un tie cēla priekšā viņam (at)sevišķi un viņiem (at)sevišķi, un tiem ēģiptiešiem (at)sevišķi, kas pie viņa ēda, jo ēģiptieši ar Ebrejiem nevar maizi ēst, jo ēģiptiešiem tā ir negantība.

They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat food with the Hebrews, for that is disgraceful to the Egyptians.

33 Un tie sēdēja viņam pretī, tas pirmdzimtais pēc savas pirmdzimtības, un tas jaunākais pēc savas jaunības.

And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at each other with amazement.

34 Par to tie vīri brīnījās savā starpā, un viņš cēla tiem priekšā goda daļas no sava galda, bet Benjamina daļu viņš pieckārtīgi vairoja pār visu citu daļām; un tie dzēra un padzērās ar viņu.

Then he gave portions to them in front of him, but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank until they all became drunk.
