Kniha Genezis

1 (CPDV) Meanwhile, the famine pressed heavily on all the land.
1 (KAT) Ale hlad ťažko doliehal na krajinu.

2 (CPDV) And having consumed the provisions that they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Return and buy us a little food.”
2 (KAT) Keď už strovili všetko obilie, čo priniesli z Egypta, otec im povedal: „Choďte a kúpte nám zasa trochu potravy!“

3 (CPDV) Judah answered: “The man himself declared to us, under the attestation of an oath, saying: ‘You will not see my face, unless you bring your youngest brother with you.’
3 (KAT) Júda mu však odvetil: „Ten človek nám dôrazne prikázal: »Neukazujte sa predo mnou, iba ak bude váš brat s vami!«

4 (CPDV) If therefore you are willing to send him with us, we will travel together, and we will buy necessities for you.
4 (KAT) Ak pošleš s nami aj nášho brata, tak sa vyberieme nakúpiť pre teba živobytia.

5 (CPDV) But if you are not willing, we will not go. For the man, as we have often said, declared to us, saying: ‘You will not see my face without your youngest brother.’ ”
5 (KAT) Ak ho však s nami nepošleš, nepôjdeme dolu, lebo ten muž nám prikázal: »Neukazujte sa predo mnou, iba ak bude váš brat s vami!«“

6 (CPDV) Israel said to them, “You have done this for my misery, in that you revealed to him that you also had another brother.”
6 (KAT) Vtedy Izrael povedal: „Prečo ste len priviedli na mňa nešťastie a prezradili ste, že máte ešte brata?“

7 (CPDV) But they responded: “The man questioned us in order, concerning our family: whether our father lived, if we had a brother. And we answered him respectively, according to what he demanded. How could we know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother with you?’ ”
7 (KAT) Oni odvetili: „Ten muž sa veľmi zaujímal o nás a o našu rodinu. Vypytoval sa: »Žije ešte váš otec? Máte ešte brata?« My sme mu odpovedali na jeho otázky. Mohli sme my vedieť, že nám povie: »Priveďte svojho brata sem!«?“

8 (CPDV) Likewise, Judah said to his father: “Send the boy with me, so that we may set out and be able to live, lest we and our little ones should die.
8 (KAT) Tu povedal Júda svojmu otcovi Izraelovi: „Pošli chlapca so mnou! Tak sa vyberieme a pôjdeme, aby sme ostali nažive a aby sme nepomreli aj my, aj ty, aj naše deti.

9 (CPDV) I accept the boy; require him at my hand. Unless I lead him back and restore him to you, I will be guilty of a sin against you for all time.
9 (KAT) Ja sa zaň zaručujem. Odo mňa ho požaduj! Ak by som ti ho nepriviedol späť a nepostavím ti ho zasa pred oči, celý svoj život budem vinný pred tebou.

10 (CPDV) If a delay had not intervened, by now we would have returned here a second time.”
10 (KAT) Lebo keby sme neboli toľko otáľali, boli by sme sa už dva razy vrátili.“

11 (CPDV) Therefore, their father Israel said to them: “If it is necessary to do so, then do what you will. Take, in your vessels, from the best fruits of the land, and carry down gifts to the man: a little resin, and honey, and storax ointment, oil of myrrh, turpentine, and almonds.
11 (KAT) Vtedy im povedal otec Izrael: „Keď je to už raz tak, nuž urobte toto: Vezmite do vriec niečo z najlepších plodín krajiny a zaneste to ako dar tomu mužovi; niečo balzamu, medu, mastixovej živice a ladanumu, pistácie a mandlí!

12 (CPDV) Also, take with you double the money, and carry back what you found in your sacks, lest perhaps it was done in error.
12 (KAT) Vezmite so sebou tiež dvojnásobnú čiastku peňazí, lebo tie peniaze, čo ste našli na vrchu vo vašich vreciach, musíte zaniesť späť. Možno je to nejaký omyl.

13 (CPDV) But also take your brother, and go to the man.
13 (KAT) Zoberte so sebou aj svojho brata! A už choďte, vráťte sa k tomu mužovi!

14 (CPDV) Then may my Almighty God cause him to be pleased by you. And send your brother, whom he holds, back with you, along with this one, Benjamin. But as for me, without my children, I will be like one who is bereaved.”
14 (KAT) Všemohúci Boh nech vám dá milosrdenstvo u toho muža a nech dá odísť aj vášmu bratovi, čo zostal, aj Benjamínovi! A ja, ako som bol bez detí, tak bez detí aj ostanem!“

15 (CPDV) Therefore, the men took the gifts, and double the money, and Benjamin. And they went down into Egypt, and they stood in the presence of Joseph.
15 (KAT) Potom mužovia zobrali dary, vzali aj dvojnásobok peňazí a Benjamína, vydali sa na cestu do Egypta a dostavili sa pred Jozefa.

16 (CPDV) And when he had seen them and Benjamin together, he instructed the steward of his house, saying: “Lead the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast, because they will be eating with me at midday.”
16 (KAT) Keď Jozef videl s nimi Benjamína, povedal správcovi domu: „Zaveď týchto mužov do domu, daj zabiť nejaké dobytča a daj to pripraviť, lebo títo mužovia budú obedovať so mnou!“

17 (CPDV) He did what he had been ordered to do, and he brought the men into the house.
17 (KAT) Ten človek urobil, ako rozkázal Jozef, a mužov zaviedol do Jozefovho domu.

18 (CPDV) And there, being terrified, they said one to another: “Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we have been brought in, so that he may unleash a false accusation against us, and by violence subjugate both us and our donkeys into servitude.”
18 (KAT) Ale muži sa preľakli, keď ich voviedli do Jozefovho domu, a vraveli si: „To bude pre peniaze, čo sa minulý raz našli v našich vreciach, že nás vedú dnu, aby nás obžalovali a usvedčili a potom uvrhli nás i naše osly do otroctva.“

19 (CPDV) For this reason, approaching the steward of the house at his door,
19 (KAT) I pristúpili k správcovi Jozefovho domu, prihovorili sa mu pri vchode do domu

20 (CPDV) they said: “We beg you, lord, to hear us. We came down once before to buy food.
20 (KAT) a vraveli mu: „Prosíme, pane! My sme sem raz prišli nakúpiť potravy.

21 (CPDV) And having bought it, when we arrived at the inn, we opened our sacks and found the money in the mouths of the sacks, which we now have carried back in the same amount.
21 (KAT) Keď sme prišli do nocľahárne, otvorili sme svoje vrecia a v každom vreci navrchu ležali i každého jedného peniaze, naše peniaze, ako sme ich vyplatili! Teraz ich prinášame späť.

22 (CPDV) But we have also brought other silver, so that we may buy those things that are necessary for us. It is not on our conscience who had placed it in our bags.”
22 (KAT) Doniesli sme však aj iné peniaze, aby sme nakúpili potravín. My vôbec nevieme, kto nám naše peniaze vložil do našich vriec.“

23 (CPDV) But he responded: “Peace be with you. Do not be afraid. Your God, and the God of your father, has given you the treasure in your sacks. As for the money that you gave to me, I held it as a test.” And he led Simeon out to them.
23 (KAT) On im odvetil: „Uspokojte sa a nebojte sa. Váš Boh a Boh vášho otca vám tajne dal tie poklady do vašich vriec. Ja som vaše peniaze dostal.“ Potom k nim vyviedol Simeona.

24 (CPDV) And having led them into the house, he brought water, and they washed their feet, and he gave fodder to their donkeys.
24 (KAT) A tento človek zaviedol mužov do Jozefovho domu, dal im vody, aby si umyli nohy, a dal tiež krmu ich oslom.

25 (CPDV) But they also prepared the gifts, until Joseph entered at midday. For they had heard that they would eat bread there.
25 (KAT) Kým však neprišiel napoludnie Jozef, oni vykladali dary, lebo počuli, že tu budú jesť.

26 (CPDV) And so Joseph entered his house, and they offered him the gifts, holding them in their hands. And they reverenced prone on the ground.
26 (KAT) Keď Jozef vošiel do domu, odovzdali mu dary, ktoré mali so sebou v dome, a poklonili sa pred ním až po zem.

27 (CPDV) But he, gently greeting them again, questioned them, saying: “Is your father, the old man about whom you spoke to me, in good health? Is he still alive?”
27 (KAT) Jozef sa ich vypytoval, ako sa majú, a vravel: „Má sa dobre váš staručký otec, o ktorom ste mi rozprávali? Žije ešte?“

28 (CPDV) And they answered: “Your servant, our father, is safe; he is still alive.” And bowing, they reverenced him.
28 (KAT) Oni odpovedali: „Tvoj sluha, náš otec, ešte žije.“ Pritom sa mu hlboko poklonili.

29 (CPDV) Then Joseph, lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin, his brother of the same womb, and he said, “Is this your little brother, about whom you spoke to me?” And again, he said, “May God be compassionate to you, my son.”
29 (KAT) Keď zdvihol oči, zbadal svojho brata Benjamína, syna svojej matky, a povedal: „To je ten váš najmladší brat, o ktorom ste mi rozprávali?“ A riekol: „Nech sa nad tebou zmiluje Boh, syn môj!“

30 (CPDV) And he hurried out, because his heart had been moved over his brother, and tears gushed out. And going into his chamber, he wept.
30 (KAT) Nato sa Jozef rýchlo vytratil, lebo ho veľmi dojala prítomnosť jeho brata a žiadalo sa mu vyplakať. I vošiel do odľahlej komnaty a tam plakal.

31 (CPDV) And when he had washed his face, coming out again, he composed himself, and he said, “Set out bread.”
31 (KAT) Potom si umyl tvár a opäť vyšiel von a s premáhaním povedal: „Prineste jedlo!“

32 (CPDV) And when it was set out, separately for Joseph, and separately for his brothers, likewise separately for the Egyptians, who ate at the same time, (for it is unlawful for Egyptians to eat with Hebrews, and they consider feasting in this way to be profane)
32 (KAT) I doniesli jemu aj im osobitne a Egypťanom, čo s nimi jedli, tiež osobitne. Egypťania totiž nesmeli jesť spolu s Hebrejmi, lebo Egypťania to pokladali za ohavnosť.

33 (CPDV) they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his state of life. And they wondered exceedingly,
33 (KAT) Oni však sedeli naproti nemu, a od najstaršieho po najmladšieho, celkom podľa veku. Takže sa nad tým títo mužovia veľmi divili.

34 (CPDV) taking the portions that they received from him. And the greater portion went to Benjamin, so much so that it exceeded five parts. And they drank and became inebriated along with him.
34 (KAT) A on im dal nosiť z jedál, ktoré boli pred ním. Toho však, čo priniesli Benjamínovi, bolo päť ráz toľko ako toho, čo prinášali ostatným. A pili s ním, až mali dobrú náladu.
