¹A rozkázal tomu, ktorý bol postavený nad jeho domom, a riekol: Naplň vrecia mužov potravou a daj im toľko, koľko vládzu uniesť, a vlož každému jeho peniaze na vrch do jeho vreca,

¹And he commandeth him who [is] over his house, saying, `Fill the bags of the men [with] food, as they are able to bear, and put the money of each in the mouth of his bag;

²a môj pohár, ten strieborný pohár, vlož na vrch do vreca najmladšieho i peniaze za jeho obilie. A učinil podľa slova Jozefovho, ktoré hovoril.

²and my cup, the silver cup, thou dost put in the mouth of the bag of the young one, and his corn-money;` and he doth according to the word of Joseph which he hath spoken.

³Ráno, keď bolo svetlo, boli mužovia prepustení, oni aj ich osli.

³The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their asses —

⁴No, keď tak asi vychádzali z mesta a ešte neboli ďaleko, riekol Jozef správcovi, ktorý bol postavený nad jeho domom: Vstaň a hoň tých mužov, a keď ich dostihneš, povieš im: Prečo ste sa odplatili zlým za dobré?

⁴they have gone out of the city — they have not gone far off — and Joseph hath said to him who [is] over his house, `Rise, pursue after the men; and thou hast overtaken them, and thou hast said unto them, Why have ye recompensed evil for good?

⁵Či nie je to ten pohár, z ktorého pije môj pán? A on ním aj veští! Zle ste urobili, čo ste urobili!

⁵Is not this that with which my lord drinketh? and he observeth diligently with it; ye have done evil [in] that which ye have done.`

⁶A dohoniac ich hovoril im tieto slová.

⁶And he overtaketh them, and speaketh unto them these words,

⁷A oni mu povedali: Prečo hovorí môj pán také slová? Kdeže by učinili tvoji služobníci takú vec?!

⁷and they say unto him, `Why doth my lord speak according to these words? far be it from thy servants to do according to this word;

⁸Hľa, striebro, ktoré sme našli na vrchu vo svojich vreciach, sme doniesli zpät k tebe z Kananejskej zeme a jako by sme tedy ukradli z domu tvojho pána striebro alebo zlato?!

⁸lo, the money which we found in the mouth of our bags we brought back unto thee from the land of Canaan, and how do we steal from the house of thy lord silver or gold?

⁹U ktorého z tvojich služobníkov by sa našiel, ten nech zomrie, a my tiež budeme služobníkmi môjho pána.

⁹with whomsoever of thy servants it is found, he hath died, and we also are to my lord for servants.`

¹⁰A riekol: Dobre, nech je i teraz podľa vašich slov: u ktorého sa najde, bude mi sluhom, a vy budete bez viny.

¹⁰And he saith, `Now, also, according to your words, so it [is]; he with whom it is found becometh my servant, and ye are acquitted;`

¹¹Vtedy složili rýchle každý svoje vrece na zem, a každý rozviazal svoje vrece.

¹¹and they hasten and take down each his bag to the earth, and each openeth his bag;

¹²A prehľadával; započal u najstaršieho a dokončil u najmladšieho, a pohár sa našiel - vo vreci Benjaminovom.

¹²and he searcheth — at the eldest he hath begun, and at the youngest he hath completed — and the cup is found in the bag of Benjamin;

¹³Vtedy roztrhli svoje rúcha, a každý naložil svoj náklad na svojho osla, a vrátili sa do mesta.

¹³and they rend their garments, and each ladeth his ass, and they turn back to the city.

¹⁴A tak prišiel Júda i jeho bratia do domu Jozefovho, ktorý bol ešte tam, a padli pred ním na zem.

¹⁴And Judah — his brethren also — cometh in unto the house of Joseph, and he is yet there, and they fall before him to the earth;

¹⁵A Jozef im riekol: Aký je to skutok, ktorý ste vykonali? Či neviete, že človek, ako som ja, istotne veští a zvie i také veci?

¹⁵and Joseph saith to them, `What [is] this deed that ye have done? have ye not known that a man like me doth diligently observe?`

¹⁶A Júda povedal: Čo povieme môjmu pánovi? Čo budeme hovoriť? A čím sa ospravedlníme? Bôh našiel neprávosť tvojich služobníkov. Hľa, sme služobníci môjho pána, i my i ten, v ktorého ruke sa našiel pohár.

¹⁶And Judah saith, `What do we say to my lord? what do we speak? and what — do we justify ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants; lo, we [are] servants to my lord, both we, and he in whose hand the cup hath been found;`

¹⁷A Jozef riekol: Kdeže by som to urobil! Muž, v ktorého ruke sa našiel pohár, ten mi bude sluhom, a vy iďte hore v pokoji ku svojmu otcovi.

¹⁷and he saith, `Far be it from me to do this; the man in whose hand the cup hath been found, he becometh my servant; and ye, go ye up in peace unto your father.`

¹⁸Vtedy pristúpil k nemu Júda a povedal: Počuj ma, prosím, môj pane! Nech smie prehovoriť tvoj služobník slovo v uši svojho pána, a nehnevaj sa na svojho služobníka, lebo ty si jako sám faraon.

¹⁸And Judah cometh nigh unto him, and saith, `O, my lord, let thy servant speak, I pray thee, a word in the ears of my lord, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant — for thou art as Pharaoh.

¹⁹Môj pán sa pýtal svojich služobníkov a riekol: Či máte otca alebo brata?

¹⁹My lord hath asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father or brother?

²⁰A my sme povedali môjmu pánovi: Máme otca, starého, a brata, dieťa to jeho starého veku, mladšieho, ktorého brat zomrel a zostal iba on sám svojej matke, a jeho otec ho miluje.

²⁰and we say unto my lord, We have a father, an aged one, and a child of old age, a little one; and his brother died, and he is left alone of his mother, and his father hath loved him.

²¹A ty si riekol svojim služobníkom: Doveďte ho sem dolu ku mne, aby som ho videl.

²¹`And thou sayest unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, and I set mine eye upon him;

²²Na to sme my povedali môjmu pánovi: Chlapec nebude môcť opustiť svojho otca; lebo ak opustí svojho otca, ten zomrie.

²²and we say unto my lord, The youth is not able to leave his father, when he hath left his father, then he hath died;

²³Ale ty si riekol svojim služobníkom: Ak neprijde s vami dolu váš najmladší brat, neuvidzte viacej mojej tvári!

²³and thou sayest unto thy servants, If your young brother come not down with you, ye add not to see my face.

²⁴A stalo sa, keď sme odišli hore k tvojmu služobníkovi, môjmu otcovi, a rozpovedali sme mu slová môjho pána,

²⁴`And it cometh to pass, that we have come up unto thy servant my father, that we declare to him the words of my lord;

²⁵a náš otec povedal: Iďte zase a nakúpte nám niečo potravy,

²⁵and our father saith, Turn back, buy for us a little food,

²⁶že sme povedali: Nemôžeme ísť ta dolu. Ale ak bude náš najmladší brat s nami, pojdeme. Lebo by sme nemohli vidieť tvár toho muža bez toho, že by náš najmladší brat bol s nami.

²⁶and we say, We are not able to go down; if our young brother is with us, then we have gone down; for we are not able to see the man`s face, and our young brother not with us.

²⁷A tvoj služobník, môj otec, nám povedal: Vy viete, že mi len dvoch porodila moja žena.

²⁷`And thy servant my father saith unto us, Ye — ye have known that two did my wife bare to me,

²⁸Ten jeden vyšiel odo mňa, a povedal som: Je isté, že ho roztrhala divá zver. A nevidel som ho doteraz.

²⁸and the one goeth out from me, and I say, Surely he is torn — torn! and I have not seen him since;

²⁹A keď vezmete i tohoto odo mňa, a prihodí sa mu nejaké nešťastie, sprevadíte moje šediny v trápení do hrobu.

²⁹when ye have taken also this from my presence, and mischief hath met him, then ye have brought down my grey hairs with evil to sheol.

³⁰A tak teraz, keď prijdem k tvojmu služobníkovi, svojmu otcovi, a chlapec nebude s nami, kým jeho duša je sviazaná s jeho dušou,

³⁰`And now, at my coming in unto thy servant my father, and the youth not with us (and his soul is bound up in his soul),

³¹nuž bude, keď uvidí, že nieto chlapca, že zomrie žiaľom, a tak sprevadia tvoji služobníci šediny tvojho služobníka, svojho otca, v zármutku do hrobu.

³¹then it hath come to pass when he seeth that the youth is not, that he hath died, and thy servants have brought down the grey hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to sheol;

³²Lebo tvoj služobník sa zaručil za chlapca, aby ho dostal od svojho otca, povediac: Ak ho nedovediem k tebe, budem hriešny svojmu otcovi po všetky dni.

³²for thy servant obtained the youth by surety from my father, saying, If I bring him not in unto thee — then I have sinned against my father all the days.

³³Preto, prosím, nech teraz zostane tvoj služobník miesto chlapca za sluhu svojmu pánovi, a chlapec nech ide hore so svojimi bratmi.

³³`And now, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the youth a servant to my lord, and the youth goeth up with his brethren,

³⁴Lebo jako by som odišiel hore k svojmu otcovi, keby nebolo chlapca so mnou? Nech nemusím hľadieť na zlé, ktoré by stihlo môjho otca!

³⁴for how do I go up unto my father, and the youth not with me? lest I look on the evil which doth find my father.`
