< Genesis 44 >

1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every 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 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his grain money. And 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 And when they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, Arise, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say to them, Why have ye 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 Is not this the cup in which my lord drinketh, and by which indeed he divineth? ye 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 And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these same words.
I on ih stiže, i reèe im tako.
7 And they said to him, Why saith my lord these words? Far be it from us that thy servants should do according to this 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 thee from the land of Canaan: how then should we steal from thy lord’s house silver or gold?
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 thy servants it shall be found, both 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 And he said, Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it shall be found shall be my servant; and ye shall 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 speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
I brže poskidaše svi na zemlju vreæe svoje, i razdriješiše svaki svoju vreæu.
12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and stopped at the youngest: and 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 loaded every man his donkey, and returned to the city.
Tada razdriješe haljine svoje, i natovarivši svaki svoj tovar na svojega magarca vratiše se u grad.
14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
I doðe Juda s braæom svojom Josifu u kuæu, dok on još bijaše kod kuæe, i padoše pred njim na zemlju.
15 And Joseph said to them, What deed is this that ye have done? knew ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
A Josif im reèe: šta ste to uèinili? zar nijeste znali da èovjek kao što sam ja može zacijelo doznati?
16 And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we, and he also with whom 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 And he said, Far be it from me that I should do so: the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, go 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, O my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thy anger burn against thy servant: for thou art 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 ye a father, or a brother?
Gospodar moj zapita sluge svoje govoreæi: imate li oca ili brata?
20 And 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 loveth 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 And thou saidst to thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes upon him.
A ti reèe slugama svojim: dovedite mi ga da ga vidim svojim oèima.
22 And we said to my lord, The lad cannot 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 And thou saidst to thy servants, Except your youngest brother shall come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
A ti reèe slugama svojim: ako ne doðe s vama brat vaš najmlaði, neæete više vidjeti lica mojega.
24 And it came to pass when we came to thy 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 And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food.
Poslije reèe nam otac: idite opet, kupite nam hrane.
26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother shall be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother shall be 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 And thy servant my father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two sons:
A sluga tvoj, otac moj, reèe nam: znate da mi je žena rodila dva sina.
28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him since:
I jedan od njih otide od mene, i rekoh: zacijelo ga je raskinula zvjerka; i do sada ga ne vidjeh.
29 And if ye take this also from me, and harm shall befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (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 thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’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 shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. (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 thy servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
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, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a slave to my lord; and let the lad return with his brethren.
Zato neka sluga tvoj ostane mjesto djeteta da bude rob gospodaru mojemu a dijete neka ide s braæom svojom.
34 For how shall I return to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest perhaps I see the evil that shall come on my father.
Jer kako bih se vratio k ocu svojemu bez djeteta, da gledam jade koji bi mi oca zadesili?
