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

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

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

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

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

³And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy grain from Egypt.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

¹³And they said, We 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

¹⁹if ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in your prison-house; but go ye, carry grain for the famine of your houses:

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

²³And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.

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.

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

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.

²⁵Then Joseph commanded to fill their vessels with grain, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provisions for the way: and thus was it done unto them.

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

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

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

²⁷And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the lodging-place, he espied his money; and, behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.

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?

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 turned trembling one to another, saying, What is this that God hath done unto us?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

³³And the man, the lord of the land, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men: leave one of your brethren with me, and take [grain for] the famine of your houses, and go your way;

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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