¹Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?

¹A keď videl Jakob, že je obilie v Egypte, riekol svojim synom: Prečo hľadíte jeden na druhého?

²And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.

²A riekol: Hľa, počul som, že je obilie v Egypte. Odídite ta dolu a kúpte nám odtiaľ obilia, a budeme žiť a nezomrieme.

³And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.

³A tak odišlo dolu desať bratov Jozefových, aby nakúpili obilia z Egypta.

⁴But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.

⁴Ale Benjamina, brata Jozefovho, neposlal Jakob s jeho bratmi, lebo riekol: Aby sa mu neprihodilo nejaké nešťastie.

⁵And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

⁵A synovia Izraelovi prišli kúpiť obilia spolu medzi inými, ktorí tiež prišli kupovať, pretože bol hlad v Kananejskej zemi.

⁶And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.

⁶A Jozef bol vladárom nad zemou; on predával obilie všetkému ľudu zeme. Keď tedy prišli bratia Jozefovi, poklonili sa mu tvárou k zemi.

⁷And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.

⁷A keď videl Jozef svojich bratov, poznal ich. Ale sa staväl ku nim cudzí a hovoril s nimi tvrde a riekol im: Odkiaľ ste prišli? A oni odpovedali: Prišli sme z Kananejskej zeme, aby sme nakúpili potravín.

⁸And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.

⁸Tedy Jozef poznal svojich bratov, ale oni jeho nepoznali.

⁹And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.

⁹Vtedy sa rozpamätal Jozef na sny, ktoré sa mu snívaly o nich. A riekol im: Vyzvedači ste; prišli ste prezrieť nahé miesta zeme.

¹⁰And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.

¹⁰A oni mu povedali: Nie tak, môj pane, ale tvoji služobníci prišli nakúpiť potravín.

¹¹We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.

¹¹My všetci sme synovia jedného muža; sme statoční ľudia; nikdy neboli tvoji služobníci vyzvedačmi.

¹²And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.

¹²A riekol im: Nie, ale nahé miesta zeme ste prišli vidieť.

¹³And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.

¹³A odpovedali: My dvanásti tvoji služobníci sme boli bratia, synovia jedného muža, v Kananejskej zemi. A hľa, najmladší je teraz s naším otcom, a jedného niet.

¹⁴And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:

¹⁴A Jozef im riekol: To je to, čo som vám hovoril, že ste vyzvedači.

¹⁵Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.

¹⁵Týmto budete zkúsení: Ako že žije faraon, nevyjdete odtiaľto, len ak sem prijde váš najmladší brat.

¹⁶Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.

¹⁶Pošlite jedného zpomedzi seba, aby pojal a doviedol vášho brata, a vy zostanete vo väzení, a tak budú zkúsené vaše slová, či je pri vás pravda. Jestli nie, ako že žije faraon, vyzvedači ste.

¹⁷And he put them all together into ward three days.

¹⁷A dal ich všetkých pod stráž, kde boli tri dni.

¹⁸And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:

¹⁸Potom na tretí deň im povedal Jozef: Toto robte a žite. Ja sa bojím Boha.

¹⁹If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:

¹⁹Ak ste vy statoční ľudia, jeden váš brat zostane uväznený v dome, v ktorom ste strážení, a vy iďte a odneste obilie na zapudenie hladu zo svojich domov.

²⁰But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.

²⁰A svojho najmladšieho brata dovediete ku mne, a vaše slová sa dokážu, že sú verné, a nezomriete. - A urobili tak.

²¹And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.

²¹Vtedy vraveli brat bratovi: Pykáme spravedlivo, lebo istá vec, že sme sa previnili proti svojmu bratovi. Lebo sme videli úzkosť jeho duše, keď nás úpenlivo prosil, a nepočúvali sme; preto prišlo na nás toto súženie.

²²And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.

²²A Rúben im odpovedal a riekol: Či som vám nehovoril: Nehrešte proti chlapcovi!? Ale neposlúchli ste. A hľa, vyhľadáva sa i jeho krv.

²³And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.

²³A oni nevedeli, že Jozef rozumie, lebo im hovoril skrze tlumoča.

²⁴And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.

²⁴A odvrátil sa od nich a plakal a zase sa obrátil k nim a hovoril s nimi. Potom vzal Simeona od nich a poviazal ho pred ich očami.

²⁵Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.

²⁵A Jozef rozkázal, aby naplnili ich vrecia obilím a aby vrátili každému jeho peniaze do jeho vreca, a tiež aby im dali potravy na cestu. A urobili im tak.

²⁶And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.

²⁶A oni poberúc svoje obilie na svojich oslov odišli odtiaľ.

²⁷And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth.

²⁷A keď rozviazal jeden svoje vrece, aby dal, v nocľažišti, svojmu oslovi obrok, uvidel svoje peniaze, ktoré hľa, boly na vrchu v jeho vreci.

²⁸And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?

²⁸A povedal svojim bratom: Moje peniaze sú mi vrátené. Aj tu hľa, sú v mojom vreci. Vtedy ich opustila všetka odvaha. A predesení hovorili druh druhovi: Čo nám to učinil Bôh?

²⁹And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,

²⁹A keď prišli k Jakobovi, svojmu otcovi, do Kananejskej zeme, rozprávali mu všetko, čo sa im prihodilo, a vraveli:

³⁰The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.

³⁰Človek, pán zeme, hovoril s nami tvrde a dal nás do väzenia ako vyzvedačov zeme.

³¹And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:

³¹A povedali sme mu: My sme statoční ľudia; nikdy sme neboli vyzvedačmi.

³²We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.

³²Bolo nás dvanásť bratov, synov našeho otca; jedného niet, a najmladší je s naším otcom v Kananejskej zemi.

³³And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:

³³A človek, pán zeme, nám povedal: Po tom poznám, že ste statoční ľudia: Jedného svojho brata ponecháte u mňa, a to, čo je na zapudenie hladu z vašich domov, vezmite a iďte.

³⁴And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the land.

³⁴A doveďte svojho najmladšieho brata ku mne, a tak zviem, že nie ste vyzvedači, ale že ste statoční ľudia, a vtedy vám vydám vášho brata, a potom obchodujte so zemou.

³⁵And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.

³⁵A stalo sa, keď vyprázdňovali svoje vrecia, že hľa, každý mal uzlík svojich peňazí vo svojom vreci. A keď videli uzly svojich peňazí, oni aj ich otec, báli sa.

³⁶And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.

³⁶A Jakob, ich otec, im povedal: Pripravili ste ma o deti. Jozefa niet, ani Simeona niet, a teraz vezmete Benjamina. Na mňa sa to všetko valí.

³⁷And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.

³⁷Vtedy povedal Rúben svojmu otcovi a riekol: Zabi oboch mojich synov, ak ho nedovediem zase k tebe. Oddaj ho do mojich rúk, a ja ho navrátim k tebe.

³⁸And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

³⁸A povedal: Nepôjde môj syn s vami dolu. Lebo jeho brat zomrel, a pozostal iba on sám. A keby sa mu prihodilo nejaké nešťastie na ceste, ktorou pôjdete, sprevadili by ste moje šediny v zármutku do hrobu. 43. KAPITOLA
