Pirmā Mozus 42
1 Kad nu Jēkabs redzēja, ka labība bija Ēģiptes zemē, tad viņš saviem dēliem sacīja: ko jūs skatāties?
When Jacob found out grain was available in Egypt, he asked his sons, “Why do you keep on looking at each other to do something?
2 Un viņš sacīja: redzi, es esmu dzirdējis, labību esam Ēģiptes zemē, noejat turp un pērciet mums no turienes, lai dzīvojam un nemirstam.
I've heard there's grain in Egypt. Go there and buy some for us so we can stay alive—if not, we're going to die!”
3 Tad desmit Jāzepa brāļi nogāja, labības pirkt no Ēģiptes zemes.
So ten of Joseph's brothers went to Egypt to buy grain.
4 Bet Benjaminu, Jāzepa brāli, Jēkabs nesūtīja ar viņa brāļiem, jo tas sacīja: ka to kāda nelaime neaizņem.
But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his other brothers, for he said, “I'm afraid something bad might happen to him.”
5 Tā Israēla dēli nāca, labības pirkt līdz ar citiem, kas turp gāja, jo bads bija arī Kanaāna zemē.
So Israel's sons went to buy grain along with everyone else, because there was famine in Canaan too.
6 Un Jāzeps bija tas valdītājs pār zemi un pārdeva visiem tās zemes ļaudīm, un Jāzepa brāļi nāca un klanījās viņa priekšā ar vaigu pie zemes.
Joseph was the governor of the country and he sold grain to all the people there. So Joseph's brothers went to him, and bowed low before him with their faces to the ground.
7 Tad Jāzeps redzēja savus brāļus un tos pazina, bet viņš likās pret tiem svešs, un runāja ar tiem bargi un sacīja uz tiem: no kurienes jūs nākat? Un tie sacīja: no Kanaāna zemes, maizes pirkt.
Joseph recognized them as soon as he saw them, but he acted like a stranger towards them and spoke to them in a severe way, saying, “Where are you from?” “From the country of Canaan,” they replied. “We've come to buy food.”
8 Un Jāzeps pazina savus brāļus, bet tie viņu nepazina.
Even though Joseph recognized his brothers, they didn't recognize him.
9 Un Jāzeps pieminēja savus sapņus, ko viņš par tiem bija sapņojis, un viņš uz tiem sacīja: jūs esat izlūki, jūs esat nākuši raudzīt, kur zemei var piekļūt.
Joseph thought back to the dreams he'd had about them, and told them, “No! You're spies! You've come to discover our country's weaknesses!”
10 Un tie uz viņu sacīja: nē, mans kungs, tavi kalpi ir nākuši, maizes pirkt.
“That's not true, my lord!” they responded. “We, your servants, have just come to buy food.
11 Mēs visi esam viena vīra dēli, mēs esam taisni ļaudis, tavi kalpi nav izlūki.
We're all the sons of one man and we're honest. We're not spies!”
12 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: nē, bet jūs esat nākuši izlūkot, kur zemei var piekļūt.
“No! You've come to find our country's weaknesses!” he insisted.
13 Un tie sacīja: mēs tavi kalpi bijām divpadsmit brāļi, viena paša vīra dēli Kanaāna zemē, un redzi, tas jaunākais vēl šodien ir pie mūsu tēva, bet tā viena vairs nav.
“Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man living in the country of Canaan,” they explained. “The youngest is right now with our father, and one has passed away.”
14 Tad Jāzeps uz tiem sacīja: tā tas ir, kā es uz jums esmu runājis un sacījis: jūs esat izlūki.
“As I said before, you're spies!” Joseph declared.
15 Pie tam jūs tapsiet pārbaudīti; tik tiešām kā Faraons dzīvo, jūs no šejienes netiksiet projām, ja jūsu jaunākais brālis nenāk šurpu.
“This is how your story will be checked. I swear on Pharaoh's life that you'll never leave this country unless your younger brother comes here.
16 Sūtiet vienu no jums, kas atved jūsu brāli, bet jūs paliekat cietumā, tad jūsu vārdi taps pārbaudīti, vai pie jums ir patiesība, un ja ne, tik tiešām kā Faraons dzīvo, tad jūs esat izlūki.
One of you go back and bring your other brother here. The others of you will be kept here in prison until it's clear that you're telling the truth. If not, then I swear on Pharaoh's life it proves you're spies!”
17 Un viņš tos kopā lika trīs dienas cietumā.
So Joseph put all of them in prison for three days.
18 Un trešā dienā Jāzeps uz tiem sacīja: dariet tā, tad jūs dzīvosiet; es bīstos Dievu.
On the third day he told them, “Since I'm someone who respects God, do as I tell you and you'll live.
19 Ja jūs esat taisni ļaudis, tad lai viens no jūsu brāļiem paliek saistīts cietumā, un jūs ejat, pārvediet to labību, tādēļ ka bads jūsu mājās.
If you're truly honest, choose one of your brothers to stay here in prison. The rest of you can go back home with grain for your hungry families.
20 Un atvediet savu jaunāko brāli pie manis, tad jūsu vārdi taps atrasti taisni, un jūs nemirsiet; un tie tā darīja.
But you must bring your youngest brother here to me to prove what you're saying is true. If not, you will all die.” They agreed to do this.
21 Tad tie sacīja viens uz otru: patiesi, mēs esam noziegušies pret savu brāli, ka mēs viņa dvēseles bēdas redzējām, kad viņš no mums žēlastības lūdzās, un neklausījām; tādēļ šās bēdas nāk pār mums.
“Clearly we're being punished for what we did to our brother,” they said to each other. “We watched him in agony pleading with us for mercy, but we refused to listen to him. That's why we're in all this trouble.”
22 Un Rūbens tiem atbildēja un sacīja: vai es jums to neteicu sacīdams: neapgrēkojaties pret to bērnu, bet jūs neklausījāt? Un nu redzi, viņa asinis top meklētas.
Reuben said to them, “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't harm the boy!’ But you didn't listen to me. Now we're paying the price for what we did to him.”
23 Un tie nezināja, ka Jāzeps to saprata, jo tur bija tulks viņu starpā.
They didn't realize that Joseph understood what they were saying because they were talking to him through an interpreter.
24 Un viņš no tiem novērsās un raudāja, un atkal pie tiem atgriezās un ar tiem runāja, un ņēma no viņu vidus Sīmeanu un to saistīja priekš viņu acīm.
Joseph stepped away from them because he started crying. He came back when he was able to speak to them again. He chose Simeon and had him tied up as they watched.
25 Un Jāzeps pavēlēja viņu maisus pildīt ar labību un viņu naudu atlikt ikkatram savā maisā, un tiem dot ceļa barību uz ceļu; un tiem tā tapa darīts.
Joseph gave the order to fill up their sacks with grain, and also to return the money they had paid by placing it in the sacks as well. He also ordered that they should be provided with food for their journey home. All this was done.
26 Un tie uzkrāva savu labību uz saviem ēzeļiem un aizgāja no turienes.
The brothers loaded the grain onto their donkeys and then set off.
27 Kad nu viens no tiem savu maisu atraisīja, savu ēzeli barot mājas vietā, tad tas ieraudzīja savu naudu, un redzi, tā bija viņa maisa virsgalā.
On their way they stopped for the night, and one of them opened up his sack to give his donkey something to eat and saw his money there at the top of the sack.
28 Un tas sacīja uz saviem brāļiem: mana nauda man ir atlikta, un redzi, tā ir manā maisā. Tad tiem sirds iztrūkās un tie pārbijās viens uz otru sacīdami: kas tas ir, ko Dievs mums ir darījis?
He told his brothers, “My money's been returned to me. It's right here at the top of my sack!” They were horrified! Trembling with fear they asked each other, “What is this that God's done to us?”
29 Un tie nāca pie Jēkaba, sava tēva, uz Kanaāna zemi un teica tam visu, kas tiem bija noticis, un sacīja:
When they arrived home in Canaan, they told their father Jacob everything that had happened.
30 Tas vīrs, tas zemes kungs, runāja bargi ar mums un mūs turēja par zemes izlūkiem.
“The man who is the country's governor spoke to us in a severe way, and accused us of spying on the land,” they explained.
31 Tad mēs tam sacījām: mēs esam taisni ļaudis, mēs neesam izlūki bijuši.
“We told him, ‘We are honest men. We're not spies!
32 Mēs bijām divpadsmit brāļi, sava tēva dēli, viena vairs nav, un tas jaunākais vēl šodien ir pie mūsu tēva Kanaāna zemē.
We are twelve brothers, the sons of one father. One has passed away and the youngest is right now with our father in the country of Canaan.’
33 Un tas vīrs, tas zemes kungs, mums sacīja: pie tam es nomanīšu, jūs esam taisnus: pametiet vienu no saviem brāļiem pie manis un ņemiet, ko jums vajag, un noejat,
Then the man who is the country's governor said to us, ‘This is how I'll find out if you're telling the truth: you are to leave one of your brothers here with me while the rest take grain home for your hungry families.
34 Un atvediet savu jaunāko brāli pie manis, tad es manīšu, jūs neesam izlūkus, bet taisnus ļaudis. Jūsu brāli es jums atdošu un jums ļaušu šinī zemē pirkt un pārdot.
Then bring your youngest brother to me. That way I'll know you're not spies but you're telling the truth. I'll release your brother to you, and you can stay in the country and trade.’”
35 Un kad tie savus maisus izbēra, redzi, tad ikviens atrada savu naudas mučkuli(maisiņu) savā maisā, un tie ieraudzīja savus naudas mučkuļus, viņi un viņu tēvs, un tie izbijās.
As they emptied their sacks, each one's money bag was there in his sack! When they and their father saw the money bags, they were horrified.
36 Tad Jēkabs, viņu tēvs, uz tiem sacīja: jūs man paņemat manus bērnus: Jāzepa vairs nav un Sīmeana vairs nav, un Benjaminu jūs ņemsiet; viss tas nāk man virsū.
Jacob their father accused them, “You have taken Joseph from me—he's gone! Simeon is gone too! Now you want to take Benjamin away! I'm the one who's suffering from all of this!”
37 Tad Rūbens runāja ar savu tēvu un sacīja: ja es to pie tevis neatvedīšu atpakaļ, tad nokauj manus divus dēlus; dod viņu manā rokā, tad es viņu pie tevis atvedīšu atpakaļ.
“You can kill my two sons if I don't bring him back to you,” Reuben assured him. “Trust me with him, and I will bring him home to you myself.”
38 Bet viņš sacīja: manam dēlam nebūs noiet ar jums, jo viņa brālis ir miris, un tas ir viens pats atlicis. Ja tam kāda nelaime notiks uz ceļa, kur jūs iesiet, tad jūs manus sirmos matus ar sirdēstiem novedīsiet bedrē. (Sheol h7585)
“My son won't go there with you!” Jacob declared. “His brother is dead, and he's the only one I have left. If anything bad happens to him on the journey you're planning, you'll send this old man to his grave in grief.” (Sheol h7585)
