¹And the famine was sore in the land.

¹Aga maal oli kange nälg.

²And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.

²Ja kui nad olid ära söönud vilja, mis nad Egiptusest olid toonud, siis nende isa ütles neile: 'Minge ostke meile pisut leiba!'

³And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

³Ja Juuda vastas temale, öeldes: 'See mees kinnitas meile väga ja ütles: Te ei saa näha mu nägu, kui teie vend ei ole koos teiega.

⁴If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:

⁴Kui sa nüüd läkitad meie venna koos meiega, siis läheme ja ostame sulle leiba.

⁵But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

⁵Aga kui sa teda ei läkita, siis me ei lähe, sest see mees ütles meile: Te ei saa näha mu nägu, kui teie vend ei ole koos teiega.'

⁶And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?

⁶Ja Iisrael ütles: 'Miks te tegite mulle seda kurja ja andsite mehele teada, et teil on veel üks vend?'

⁷And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?

⁷Ja nad vastasid: 'See mees päris väga meie ja meie suguseltsi järele, küsides: Kas teie isa elab veel? On teil veel mõni vend? Ja me andsime temale teada, nagu asi on. Kas me võisime teada, et ta ütleb: Tooge oma vend siia?'

⁸And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.

⁸Ja Juuda ütles oma isale Iisraelile: 'Saada poiss minuga ja me võtame kätte ning läheme, et jääksime elama ega sureks, ei meie ega sina ega meie väetid lapsed.

⁹I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:

⁹Mina olen temale käemeheks, nõua teda minult. Kui ma ei too teda tagasi sinu juurde ega sea sinu palge ette, siis jään su ees alatiseks süüdlaseks.

¹⁰For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.

¹⁰Tõesti, kui me ei oleks viivitanud, oleksime nüüd juba teist korda tagasi tulnud.'

¹¹And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:

¹¹Siis ütles neile Iisrael, nende isa: 'Kui see nõnda on, siis tehke seda! Võtke maa parimast oma kottidesse ja viige sellele mehele meeleheaks pisut palsamit ja pisut mett, kalleid rohte ja mürri, pähkleid ja mandleid.

¹²And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:

¹²Ja võtke kaasa kahekordne raha; ka see raha, mis teie kottide suus tagasi tuli, võtke jälle kaasa - vahest oli see eksitus.

¹³Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:

¹³Võtke ka oma vend, asuge teele ja minge tagasi selle mehe juurde!

¹⁴And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.

¹⁴Kõigeväeline Jumal lasku teid leida halastust selle mehe ees, et ta teiega ära saadaks teie teise venna ja Benjamini! Aga kui jään lastest ilma, siis jään.'

¹⁵And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.

¹⁵Ja mehed võtsid selle kingituse, võtsid kaasa kahekordse raha ja Benjamini, asusid teele ja läksid alla Egiptusesse ning astusid Joosepi ette.

¹⁶And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.

¹⁶Kui Joosep nägi, et Benjamin oli nendega kaasas, siis ta ütles oma kojaülemale: 'Vii need mehed mu kotta ja tapa tapaveis ning valmista see, sest need mehed söövad minuga lõunat!'

¹⁷And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.

¹⁷Ja mees tegi, nagu Joosep oli öelnud; ja mees viis mehed Joosepi kotta.

¹⁸And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

¹⁸Aga mehed kartsid, kui neid Joosepi kotta viidi, ja ütlesid: 'Meid viiakse raha pärast, mis eelmisel korral meie kottides tagasi tuli, et veeretada meie peale süüd ja kippuda meile kallale ning võtta meid orjadeks ja omandada meie eeslid!'

¹⁹And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,

¹⁹Ja nad astusid mehe juurde, kes oli Joosepi kojaülem, ja rääkisid temaga koja ukse ees

²⁰And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:

²⁰ning ütlesid: 'Oh mu isand, me kord juba käisime siin leiba ostmas.

²¹And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.

²¹Aga kui me seejärel jõudsime öömajale ja tegime oma kotid lahti, vaata, siis oli igamehe raha ta koti suus, meie raha selle täiskaalus. Me tõime selle nüüd tagasi.

²²And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.

²²Ja me tõime ka teise raha leiva ostmiseks enestega kaasa. Me ei tea, kes oli pannud meie raha meie kottidesse.'

²³And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.

²³Aga tema ütles: 'Rahustuge, ärge kartke! Teie Jumal ja teie isa Jumal on pannud teile varanduse kottidesse. Teie raha ma olen saanud.' Ja ta tõi Siimeoni välja nende juurde.

²⁴And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.

²⁴Siis mees viis mehed Joosepi kotta ja andis neile vett ning nad pesid oma jalgu; ja ta andis toitu nende eeslitele.

²⁵And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.

²⁵Ja nad seadsid kingitused valmis, kuni Joosep tuli lõunale, sest nad olid kuulnud, et nad seal pidid leiba võtma.

²⁶And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.

²⁶Kui Joosep koju tuli, siis nad viisid temale kotta kingituse, mis neil kaasas oli, ja kummardasid maha tema ette.

²⁷And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?

²⁷Ja tema küsis neilt, kuidas nende käsi käib, ja ütles: 'Kas teie vana isa, kellest te rääkisite, käsi käib hästi? On ta veel elus?'

²⁸And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.

²⁸Ja nad vastasid: 'Sinu sulase, meie isa käsi käib hästi, ta elab veel.' Ja nad kummardasid ning heitsid maha.

²⁹And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.

²⁹Kui ta oma silmad üles tõstis ja nägi oma venda Benjamini, oma ema poega, siis ta küsis: 'On see teie noorim vend, kellest te mulle rääkisite?' Ja ta ütles: 'Jumal olgu sulle armuline, mu poeg!'

³⁰And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.

³⁰Aga Joosep vaikis äkki, sest ta oli südamest liigutatud oma venna pärast ja otsis võimalust nutmiseks. Ta läks ühte siseruumi ja nuttis seal.

³¹And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.

³¹Ja kui ta oma silmi oli pesnud, siis ta tuli välja, valitses enese üle ja ütles: 'Pange toit lauale!'

³²And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.

³²Ja temale pandi eraldi ja neile eraldi, ja egiptlastele, kes tema juures sõid, eraldi, sest egiptlased ei söö leiba üheskoos heebrealastega - see on egiptlastele jäledus.

³³And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marveled one at another.

³³Ja nad pandi istuma temaga vastamisi, esmasündinu esimesena ja noorim viimasena, ja mehed panid seda isekeskis imeks.

³⁴And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.

³⁴Ja ta laskis tõsta rooga enda eest nende ette, aga Benjamini osa oli viis korda suurem kui kõigi teiste osad. Ja nad jõid koos temaga ning jäid joobnuks.
