¹Aga maal oli kange nälg.

¹And the famine was grievous in the land.

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

²And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again, buy us a little food.

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.

³And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man did positively testify to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you.

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

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

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.'

⁵but if thou do not send [him], we will not go down, for the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you.

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

⁶And Israel said, Why did ye deal [so] ill with me [as] to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?

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?'

⁷And they said, The man asked very closely after us, and after our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye a brother? And we told him according to the tenor of these words. Could we at all know that he would say, Bring your brother down?

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.

⁸And Judah said to 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 our little ones.

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.

⁹I will be surety for him: of my hand shalt thou require him; if I bring him not to thee, and set him before thy face, then shall I be guilty toward thee for ever.

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

¹⁰For had we not lingered, we should now certainly have returned already twice.

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.

¹¹And their father Israel said to them, If it is then so, do this: take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a gift: a little balsam and a little honey, tragacanth and ladanum, pistacia-nuts and almonds.

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

¹²And take other money in your hand, and the money that was returned to you in the mouth of your sacks, carry back in your hand: perhaps it is an oversight.

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

¹³And take your brother, and arise, go again to the man.

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.'

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

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

¹⁵And the men took that gift, and took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and came before Joseph.

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!'

¹⁶And Joseph saw Benjamin with them, and said to the [man] who was over his house, Bring the men into the house, and slaughter cattle, and make ready; for the men shall eat with me at noon.

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

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

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!'

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

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

¹⁹And they came up to the man that was over Joseph's house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,

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

²⁰and said, Ah! my lord, we came indeed down at the first to buy food.

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.

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 according to its weight; and we have brought it again in our hand.

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

²²And other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.

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.

²³And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; your money came to me. And he brought Simeon out to them.

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

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

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

²⁵And they made ready the gift for Joseph's coming at noon; for they had heard that they should eat bread there.

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

²⁶When Joseph came home, they brought him the gift that was in their hand, into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.

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

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

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

²⁸And they said, Thy servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And they bowed, and made obeisance.

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!'

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 spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to thee, my son!

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

³⁰And Joseph made haste, for his bowels burned for his brother; and he sought [a place] to weep, and he went into the chamber, and wept there.

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

³¹And he washed his face, and came out, and controlled himself, and said, Set on bread.

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.

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

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

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

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.

³⁴And he had portions carried to them from before him. And Benjamin's portion was five times greater than the portions of them all. And they drank, and made merry with him.
