¹He commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in his sack’s mouth.

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,

²Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money.” He did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

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

³As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.

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

⁴When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, ‘Why have you rewarded evil for good?

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?

⁵Isn’t this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.’”

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

⁶He overtook them, and he spoke these words to them.

⁶A dohoniac ich hovoril im tieto slová.

⁷They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing!

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

⁸Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house?

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?!

⁹With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondservants.”

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

¹⁰He said, “Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found will be my bondservant; and you will be blameless.”

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

¹¹Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.

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

¹²He searched, beginning with the eldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

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

¹³Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.

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

¹⁴Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.

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

¹⁵Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed divine?”

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?

¹⁶Judah said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? Or how will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s bondservants, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.”

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.

¹⁷He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my bondservant; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”

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.

¹⁸Then Judah came near to him, and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.

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.

¹⁹My lord asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father, or a brother?’

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

²⁰We said to 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 loves him.’

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.

²¹You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’

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

²²We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’

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

²³You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’

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

²⁴It happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

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

²⁵Our father said, ‘Go again, buy us a little food.’

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

²⁶We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’

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.

²⁷Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons:

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

²⁸and the one went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces”; and I haven’t seen him since.

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

²⁹If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .’

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

³⁰Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;

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

³¹it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .

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

³²For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’

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.

³³Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, a bondservant to my lord; and let the boy go up with his brothers.

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

³⁴For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?—lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”

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