Kniha Genezis

1 (CPDV) Then Joseph instructed the steward of his house, saying: “Fill their sacks with grain, as much as they are able to hold. And place each one’s money at the top of the sack.
1 (KAT) Hneď nato dal svojmu správcovi takýto rozkaz: „Naplň vrecia mužov potravinami, koľko len budú môcť uniesť, a každému do jeho vreca navrch polož jeho peniaze.

2 (CPDV) But place my silver bowl, and the price that he gave for the wheat, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest.” And so it was done.
2 (KAT) Môj pohár však, môj strieborný pohár, vlož najmladšiemu do vreca spolu s peniazmi za jeho obilie.“ A on urobil podľa rozkazu, ktorý dal Jozef.

3 (CPDV) And when morning arose, they were sent away with their donkeys.
3 (KAT) Ráno zavčasu potom mužov vypravili aj s ich oslami.

4 (CPDV) And now they had departed from the city and had set out a short distance. Then Joseph, sending for the steward of his house, said: “Rise up and pursue the men. And when you have overtaken them, say: ‘Why have you returned evil for good?
4 (KAT) No len čo vyšli z mesta, ešte neboli ďaleko, povedal Jozef správcovi svojho domu: „Vstaň a pusť sa za tými mužmi a keď ich dostihneš, povedz im: »Prečo ste sa odplatili zlým za dobré? Prečo ste mi ukradli strieborný pohár?

5 (CPDV) The cup that you have stolen, it is that from which my lord drinks, and in which he is accustomed to discern signs. You have done a very sinful thing.’ ”
5 (KAT) Vari to nie je ten, z ktorého pije môj pán a z ktorého veští? Veľmi zle ste konali, keď ste to urobili.«“

6 (CPDV) He did as he had been ordered. And having overtaken them, he spoke to them according to the order.
6 (KAT) Keď ich dostihol, dohováral im podľa tohto návodu.

7 (CPDV) And they responded: “Why does our lord speak in this way, as though your servants had committed such a shameful act?
7 (KAT) Oni mu odpovedali: „Prečo hovorí môj pán takou rečou? Je ďaleko od tvojich sluhov, žeby niečo také urobili.

8 (CPDV) The money, which we found at the top of our sacks, we carried back to you from the land of Canaan. So in what way does it follow that we would steal, from the house of your lord, gold or silver?
8 (KAT) Pozri, z krajiny Kanaán sme ti priniesli späť peniaze, čo sme našli navrchu vo svojich vreciach. Akože by sme teda mohli kradnúť z domu tvojho pána striebro alebo zlato?

9 (CPDV) Whichever of your servants will be found to have what you seek, may he die, and we shall be the servants of my lord.”
9 (KAT) U koho z tvojich sluhov sa nájde, ten nech zomrie a my ostatní budeme otrokmi môjho pána!“

10 (CPDV) And he said to them: “Let it be 27 according to your verdict. With whomever it will be found, let him be my servant, but you will be unharmed.”
10 (KAT) On im odpovedal: „Hoci by to malo byť podľa vašich slov, mojím otrokom však bude iba ten, u koho sa to nájde. Vy ostatní môžete voľne odísť.“

11 (CPDV) And so, they quickly placed their sacks down to the ground, and each one was opened.
11 (KAT) Tu každý rýchlo zložil na zem svoje vrece a každý svoje vrece otvoril.

12 (CPDV) And when he had searched, beginning with the oldest, all the way to the youngest, he found the cup in Benjamin’s sack.
12 (KAT) A on začal hľadať u najstaršieho a skončil pri najmladšom. Pohár sa našiel v Benjamínovom vreci.

13 (CPDV) But they, tearing their garments and burdening their donkeys again, returned to the town.
13 (KAT) Tu si oni roztrhli odev, každý opäť naložil náklad na svojho osla a vrátili sa do mesta.

14 (CPDV) And Judah, first among his brothers, entered to Joseph (for he had not yet departed from the place) and together they all fell down before him to the ground.
14 (KAT) Keď Júda a jeho bratia vošli opäť do Jozefovho domu - bol ešte stále tam -, padli pred ním na zem.

15 (CPDV) And he said to them: “Why would you choose to act in this way? Could you be ignorant that there is no one like me in the knowledge of discerning signs?”
15 (KAT) Jozef im však povedal: „Akého skutku ste sa to dopustili? Nezbadali ste, že muž ako ja sa vyzná aj v hádaní?“

16 (CPDV) And Judah said to him, “What could we answer to my lord? And what would we be able to say, or to justly claim? God has discovered the iniquity of your servants. See, we have all become servants to my lord, both we, and he with whom the cup was found.”
16 (KAT) Vtedy Júda povedal: „Čo my môžeme povedať môjmu pánovi? Čo hovoriť? Čím sa ospravedlniť? Boh navštevuje tvojich sluhov za previnenie! A teraz, pán môj, sme tvoji sluhovia, aj my, aj ten, u koho sa pohár našiel!“

17 (CPDV) Joseph responded: “Far be it from me that I should act in this way. He who stole the cup, he will be my servant. But you may go away free to your father.”
17 (KAT) Ale on odpovedal: „Nech je ďaleko odo mňa niečo také urobiť! Iba ten, u koho sa našiel pohár, bude mojím otrokom. Vy ostatní môžete v pokoji odísť k svojmu otcovi!“

18 (CPDV) Then Judah, approaching closer, said confidently: “I beg you, my lord, let your servant speak a word in your ears, and do not be angry with your servant. For you are next to Pharaoh.
18 (KAT) Tu pristúpil k nemu Júda a vravel: „Pán môj, dovoľ, aby ti tvoj sluha povedal pár slov! Nehnevaj sa preto na svojho sluhu! Veď ty si ako faraón!

19 (CPDV) My lord, you questioned your servants before: ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’
19 (KAT) Môj pán sa opýtal svojich sluhov: »Máte ešte otca alebo brata?«

20 (CPDV) And we answered you, my lord: ‘There is our father, an old man, and a young boy, who was born in his old age. His brother of the same womb has died, and he alone is left to his mother and father, who truly love him tenderly.’
20 (KAT) My sme vtedy odpovedali môjmu pánovi: »Máme ešte staručkého otca a tiež dosť neskoro narodeného malého brata. Jeho vlastný brat je už mŕtvy, a tak on ostal ako jediné dieťa po svojej matke; a preto je miláčkom svojho otca.«

21 (CPDV) And you said to your servants, ‘Bring him to me, and I will set my eyes on him.’
21 (KAT) Vtedy si rozkázal svojim sluhom: »Priveďte ho sem ku mne, aby som ho videl na vlastné oči!«

22 (CPDV) We suggested to my lord: ‘The boy is not able to leave his father. For if he sends him away, he will die.’
22 (KAT) My sme môjmu pánovi odpovedali: »Chlapec nemôže opustiť svojho otca. Ak opustí svojho otca, ten isto zomrie!«

23 (CPDV) And you said to your servants: ‘Unless your youngest brother arrives with you, you will not see my face any more.’
23 (KAT) Na to si ty odpovedal svojim sluhom: »Ak váš najmladší brat nepríde s vami, neukazujte sa mi viac na oči!«

24 (CPDV) Therefore, when we had gone up to your servant our father, we explained to him all that my lord had spoken.
24 (KAT) Keď sme potom došli k tvojmu sluhovi, môjmu otcovi, oznámili sme mu slová môjho pána.

25 (CPDV) And our father said: ‘Return and buy us a little wheat.’
25 (KAT) A keď potom náš otec vravel: »Nože choďte a kúpte nám trochu potravy!«,

26 (CPDV) And we said to him: ‘We cannot go. If our youngest brother descends with us, we will set out together. Otherwise, in his absence, we do not dare to see the face of the man.’
26 (KAT) my sme mu odvrávali: »My nemôžeme ísť. Pôjdeme len vtedy, keď bude s nami aj náš najmladší brat. Veď sa nesmieme ukázať tomu mužovi na oči, ak náš najmladší brat nebude s nami!«

27 (CPDV) To which he responded: ‘You know that my wife conceived twice by me.
27 (KAT) Vtedy nám povedal tvoj sluha, náš otec: »Vy viete, že moja žena mi porodila len dvoch.

28 (CPDV) One went out, and you said, “A beast devoured him.” And since then, he has not appeared.
28 (KAT) Jeden odo mňa odišiel tak, že som musel povedať: Istotne je roztrhaný, roztrhaný! - a dodnes som ho nevidel.

29 (CPDV) If you take this one also, and anything happens to him on the way, you will lead my grey hairs down with grief to the grave.’
29 (KAT) Ak vezmete spred mojej tváre aj tohto a ak sa mu prihodí nešťastie, tak od bôľu privediete moje šediny do podsvetia!«

30 (CPDV) Therefore, if I would have gone to your servant, our father, with the boy not present, (though his life depends upon the life of him)
30 (KAT) Keby som teraz prišiel k tvojmu sluhovi, môjmu otcovi, a chlapec, na ktorom on lipne celou dušou, by nebol s nami,

31 (CPDV) and if he were to see that he is not with us, he would die, and your servants will lead his grey hairs down with sorrow to the grave.
31 (KAT) on by zomrel, keby videl, že chlapec nie je s nami, a tvoji sluhovia by naozaj priviedli šediny tvojho sluhu, nášho otca, od bôľu do podsvetia!

32 (CPDV) Let me be your very own servant, for I accepted this one into my trust, and I promised, saying: ‘Unless I lead him back, I will be guilty of a sin against my father for all time.’
32 (KAT) A pretože sa tvoj sluha otcovi za chlapca zaručil slovami: »Ak ti ho neprivediem späť, celý svoj život budem vinný pred tebou,«

33 (CPDV) And so I, your servant, will remain in place of the boy, in ministry to my lord, and then let the boy go up with his brothers.
33 (KAT) tak teraz nech zostane namiesto chlapca tvoj sluha za otroka môjmu pánovi! Chlapec však nech odíde so svojimi bratmi!

34 (CPDV) For I cannot return to my father without the boy, lest I appear as a witness to the calamity that will oppress my father.”
34 (KAT) Veď akože by som mohol prísť k svojmu otcovi bez toho, že by bol chlapec so mnou? Nemohol by som sa pozerať na trápenie, čo zastihne môjho otca!“
