Genesis 42
1 When someone told Jacob that there was grain in Egypt that people could buy, he said to his sons, “(Why do you just sit there looking at each other?/Do not just sit there looking at each other!) [RHQ] We need some grain!”
Torej ko je Jakob videl, da je bilo v Egiptu žito, je Jakob rekel svojim sinovom: »Zakaj gledate drug drugega?«
2 He said to them, “Someone told me that there is grain for sale in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, in order that we will not die!”
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.«
3 So Joseph’s ten [older] brothers went down to Egypt to buy some grain.
Jožefovih deset bratov je odšlo dol, da bi v Egiptu nakupili žita.
4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s [younger] brother, to go with the others, because he was afraid/worried that something terrible might happen to him like what happened to Joseph.
Toda Jožefovega brata Benjamina Jakob ni poslal s svojimi brati, kajti rekel je: »Da ga ne bi morda doletela nesreča.«
5 So Jacob’s other sons went down from Canaan to Egypt to buy grain, and others from there went too, because there was a famine in Canaan also.
Med temi, ki so prihajali, so prišli Izraelovi sinovi kupovat žito, kajti lakota je bila v kánaanski deželi.
6 At that time Joseph was the governor of Egypt. He was the one who sold grain to people who came from all over Egypt and from many other countries [HYP] to buy grain. So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, [they were told that it was necessary for them to talk with Joseph. So they went to him and] prostrated themselves before him with their faces to the ground.
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.
7 As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them. But he pretended that he did not know them. He spoke harshly to them, saying, “Where do you come from?” One of them replied, “We have come from Canaan, to buy some grain.”
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.«
8 Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.
Jožef je svoje brate prepoznal, oni pa ga niso prepoznali.
9 And then Joseph remembered what he had dreamed about them many years previously. [But he decided not to tell them yet that he was their younger brother]. He said to them, “You are spies! You have come to find out whether we will be able to defend ourselves [if you attack us]!”
Jožef se je spomnil sanj, ki jih je sanjal o njih in jim rekel: »Ogleduhi ste. Prišli ste, da vidite nezavarovanost dežele.«
10 One of them replied, “No, sir! We have come to buy grain.
Rekli so mu: »Ne, moj gospod, temveč so tvoji služabniki prišli kupit hrano.
11 We are all sons of one man. We are honest men, not spies.”
Vsi smo sinovi enega moža. Mi smo zvesti možje, tvoji služabniki niso ogleduhi.«
12 He said to them, “[I do not believe you]. You have come just to see whether we would be able to defend ourselves if we were attacked!”
Rekel jim je: »Ne, temveč ste prišli, da vidite nezavarovanost dežele.«
13 But one of them replied, “No, that is not true! Originally there were twelve of us who were brothers, the sons of one man. Our younger brother is with our father. One [younger] brother has died. [EUP]”
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.«
14 Joseph replied, “[You are lying! I think] it is just as I told you. You are spies!
Jožef pa jim je rekel: »To je to, kar sem vam govoril, « rekoč: »Ogleduhi ste.
15 But this is how I will determine whether what you are saying is true. I think that as surely as the king lives, you are spies. And you will not leave this place until your youngest brother comes here!
S tem boste preizkušeni. Pri faraonovem življenju ne boste šli od tod, razen če ne pride sèm vaš najmlajši brat.
16 Send one of your group to go and get your younger brother and bring him here. I will put the rest of you in prison, in order that I may test what you have said to find out whether what you are telling me is true. If the one who goes does not bring your younger brother here, then, just as surely as the king lives, it will be clear that you are lying and that you are spies.”
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.«
17 Then Joseph put them all in prison for three days.
Vse skupaj jih je za tri dni zaprl v ječo.
18 On the third day, Joseph went to the prison and said to them, “I am a man who fears that God [will punish me if I do not do what I promise]. So do what I tell you, and I will spare your lives.
Jožef jim je tretji dan rekel: »Storite to in živite, kajti bojim se Boga.
19 If you are honest men, let one of your brothers stay here in prison, and the rest of you can take some grain back to your families who are very hungry because of the famine.
Če ste pravi možje, naj bo eden izmed vas zvezan v hiši vaše ječe, vi pa pojdite, nesite žito za lakoto svojih hiš,
20 But if you come back here again, you must bring your youngest brother to me, so that you can prove that what you told me is true, and as a result I will not have you executed.” So they agreed to do that.
toda svojega najmlajšega brata privedite k meni. Tako bodo vaše besede preverjene in ne boste umrli.« In storili so tako.
21 They said to each other, “It is surely because of what we did to our [younger] brother that (we are being punished/God is punishing us)! We saw that he [SYN] was very distressed when he pleaded with us not to harm him. But we did not pay any attention to him, and that is why we are having this trouble!”
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.«
22 Reuben said to them, “I told you not to harm the boy [RHQ], but you did not pay attention to what I said! Now we are being (paid back/punished) for killing him [MTY]!”
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.«
23 While they were talking with Joseph, they were speaking through (an interpreter/someone who knew their language and the Egyptian language), but when they said these things among themselves, they were speaking in their own language, and they did not know that Joseph could understand their language, and that he could understand what they were saying.
Niso pa vedeli, da jih je Jožef razumel, kajti govoril jim je po tolmaču.
24 [Because of what they said, Joseph realized that they admitted that what they had done to him many years previously was wrong]. He could not keep from crying, [and he did not want them to see him crying], so he left them and went outside the room and began to cry. But then he returned to them and talked to them again. Then he took Simeon, and while they were watching, he told his servants to tie him up. He left Simeon in the prison and told the others that they could go.
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.
25 Joseph told his servants to fill the men’s sacks with grain, but he also told them to put the money that each one had paid for the grain in the top of his sack. He also told them to give them food to eat along the way. After the servants did those things for Joseph’s older brothers,
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.
26 his older brothers loaded the sacks of grain on their donkeys and left.
Svoje osle so natovorili z žitom in odpotovali od tam.
27 At the place where they stopped to sleep that night, one of them opened his sack to get some grain for his donkey. He was amazed to see his money in the top of the sack.
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.
28 He exclaimed to his brothers, “Someone has returned my money! Here it is in my sack!” They started shaking with fear, and said to each other, “What is this that God has done to us?”
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?«
29 When they returned to their father in Canaan land, they told him all that had happened to them. One of them said,
Prišli so k svojemu očetu Jakobu v kánaansko deželo in mu povedali vse, kar se jim je pripetilo, rekoč:
30 “The man who governs the whole land of Egypt talked very harshly to us. He acted toward us as though we were spying on his country.
»Mož, ki je gospodar dežele, nam je surovo govoril in nas prijel za ogleduhe dežele.
31 But we told him, ‘We are honest men! We are not spies.
Mi pa smo mu rekli: ›Mi smo pravični možje, mi nismo ogleduhi.
32 Originally there were twelve of us who were brothers, the sons of one father. One has died [EUP], and our youngest brother is with our father in Canaan.’
Nas je dvanajst bratov, sinov našega očeta. Enega ni, najmlajši pa je ta dan z našim očetom v kánaanski deželi.‹«
33 The man who is the governor of the land [did not believe us], so he said to us, ‘This is how I will know if you are truly honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me. Then the rest of you can take some grain for your families that are starving from hunger and go.
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.
34 But when you return, bring your youngest brother to me, in order that I will know that you are not spies, but instead, that you are honest men. Then I will release your brother for you. And then you can buy whatever you want in this country.’”
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.«
35 As they were emptying their sacks, they were surprised that in each man’s sack was his pouch of money! When they and their father saw all the pouches of money, they were frightened.
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.
36 Their father Jacob said to them, “You have caused two of my children to be taken from me! Joseph is dead, and Simeon is gone! And now you want to take Benjamin from me! It is I who am suffering because of all these things that are happening!”
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.«
37 Reuben said to his father, “I will be responsible for Benjamin. [I will take him to Egypt and] bring him back to you. Let me take care of him. If I do not bring Benjamin back to you, you may kill both of my sons.”
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.«
38 But Jacob said, “No, I will not let my son go down there with you. His [older] brother is dead, and he is the only [one of my wife Rachel’s] sons who is left! If something harms him while you are traveling, you would cause me, a gray-haired old man, to die because of sorrow.” (Sheol h7585)
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)
