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 commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.

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 put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his grain money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

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

³As soon as the morning was light, the men were 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?

⁴[And] when they were gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded 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 in which my lord drinketh, and whereby he indeed divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.

⁶A dohoniac ich hovoril im tieto slová.

⁶And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these words.

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

⁷And they said unto him, Wherefore speaketh my lord such words as these? Far be it from thy servants that they should do such a thing.

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?!

⁸Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house 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 be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.

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

¹⁰And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my bondman; and ye shall be blameless.

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

¹¹Then they hasted, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

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

¹²And he searched, [and] began at the eldest, and left off at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

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

¹³Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned 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 and his brethren came to Joseph's house; and he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.

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 said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? know ye not that such a man as I can indeed divine?

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 said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is 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 said, Far be it from me that I should do so: the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, get you 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.

¹⁸Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh, my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant; for thou art even as Pharaoh.

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

¹⁹My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a 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 said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loveth him.

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

²¹And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.

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

²²And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

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

²³And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.

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

²⁴And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

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

²⁵And our father said, Go again, buy 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 said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, expect our youngest brother be with us.

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

²⁷And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:

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

²⁸and the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; 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.

²⁹and if ye take this one also from me, and harm befall him, ye will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow 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,

³⁰Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;

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

³¹it will come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not [with us], that he will die: and thy servants will bring down the gray 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 became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I bear the blame to my father for ever.

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

³³Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go 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 shall I go up to my father, if the lad be not with me? lest I see the evil that shall come on my father.
