Kniha Genezis

1 (CPDV) Joseph was unable to restrain himself any longer, standing before so many. Therefore, he instructed that all should go outside, and that no stranger should be among them as they recognized one another.
1 (KAT) Tu sa už Jozef nemohol ovládať pred všetkými, čo ho obkľučovali, a zvolal: „Nech všetci vyjdú odtiaľto von!“ A tak nebol nik pri ňom, keď sa Jozef dal poznať svojim bratom.

2 (CPDV) And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians heard, along with the entire house of Pharaoh.
2 (KAT) Tu sa dal do hlasitého plaču až tak, že ho počuli Egypťania a zvedel o tom aj dom faraónov.

3 (CPDV) And he said to his brothers: “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” His brothers were unable to respond, being terrified by a very great fear.
3 (KAT) Potom Jozef povedal svojim bratom: „Ja som Jozef! Žije ešte môj otec?“ Jeho bratia sa tak naľakali, že nemohli odpovedať bratovi.

4 (CPDV) And he said to them mildly, “Approach toward me.” And when they had approached close by, he said: “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
4 (KAT) Jozef sa svojim bratom privrával: „No poďte ku mne!“ Keď pristúpili bližšie, povedal: „Ja som Jozef, váš brat, ktorého ste predali do Egypta.

5 (CPDV) Do not be afraid, and let it not seem to you to be a hardship that you sold me into these regions. For God sent me before you into Egypt for your salvation.
5 (KAT) A teraz sa netrápte a nesužujte, že ste ma sem predali, lebo Boh ma sem poslal pred vami, aby ste ostali nažive.

6 (CPDV) For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, in which there can be neither plowing, nor reaping.
6 (KAT) Lebo už dva roky je v krajine hlad a bude ešte päť rokov, čo nebude ani oračky, ani žatvy.

7 (CPDV) And God sent me ahead, so that you may be preserved upon the earth, and so that you would be able to have food in order to live.
7 (KAT) Preto ma Boh poslal pred vami, aby váš rod zachoval na zemi a aby ho mimoriadnym zásahom zachoval pri živote.

8 (CPDV) I was sent here, not by your counsel, but by the will of God. He has caused me to be like a father to Pharaoh, and to be the lord of his entire house, as well as governor throughout all the land of Egypt.
8 (KAT) A takto nie vy ste ma sem poslali, lež Boh. On ma urobil faraónovým poradcom, pánom nad celým jeho domom a vladárom nad celou egyptskou krajinou.

9 (CPDV) Hurry, and go up to my father, and say to him: ‘Your son Joseph commands this: God has caused me to be lord of the entire land of Egypt. Come down to me, do not delay,
9 (KAT) Poponáhľajte sa a choďte k môjmu otcovi a povedzte mu: »Toto odkazuje tvoj syn Jozef: Boh ma ustanovil za vládcu nad celým Egyptom, príď ku mne a neodkladaj!

10 (CPDV) and you will live in the land of Goshen. And you will be next to me, you and your sons and the sons of your sons, your sheep and your herds, and all that you possess.
10 (KAT) Budeš bývať v kraji Gesen a budeš mi nablízku ty i tvoje deti a tvoje detné deti spolu s tvojimi ovcami a dobytkom a s celým tvojím majetkom.

11 (CPDV) And there I will pasture you, (for there are still five years of famine remaining) lest both you and your house perish, along with all that you possess.’
11 (KAT) Ja sa tu budem starať o teba - lebo ešte päť rokov potrvá hlad -, aby si neschudobnel ty i tvoj dom a všetko, čo je tvoje.

12 (CPDV) Behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that it is my mouth speaking to you.
12 (KAT) Na vlastné oči vidíte, aj môj brat Benjamín vidí na svoje oči, že sú to moje ústa, čo s vami rozprávajú.«

13 (CPDV) You will report to my father about all my glory, and about all that you have seen in Egypt. Hurry, and bring him to me.”
13 (KAT) Zvestujte teda môjmu otcovi moju veľkú hodnosť, ktorú mám v Egypte, a všetko, čo ste videli! Nuž poponáhľajte sa a priveďte môjho otca sem!“

14 (CPDV) And then falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept. And likewise, Benjamin wept at the same time on his neck.
14 (KAT) Potom padol okolo krku svojmu bratovi Benjamínovi a plakal. Aj Benjamín plakal na jeho hrudi.

15 (CPDV) And Joseph kissed all his brothers, and he cried over each one. After this, they were emboldened to speak to him.
15 (KAT) Potom pobozkal všetkých svojich bratov a plakal na ich hrudi. Napokon sa rozprávali s ním aj jeho bratia.

16 (CPDV) And it was overheard, and the news spread by word throughout the king’s court. The brothers of Joseph had arrived, and Pharaoh was gladdened along with all his family.
16 (KAT) Aj do faraónovho paláca sa dostala zvesť: „Prišli Jozefovi bratia!“ A faraón sa tomu tešil aj so svojimi služobníkmi.

17 (CPDV) And he told Joseph that he should command his brothers, saying: “ ‘Burden your beasts, and go into the land of Canaan,
17 (KAT) A faraón vravel Jozefovi: „Povedz svojim bratom: Urobte toto: Naložte svoje zvieratá a choďte rýchlo do krajiny Kanaán

18 (CPDV) and take from there your father and kindred, and come to me. And I will give you all the good things of Egypt, so that you may eat from the marrow of the land.’ ”
18 (KAT) a zoberte svojho otca a svoje rodiny a príďte ku mne! Ja vám potom dám, čo dobré poskytuje egyptská zem. Budete jesť to najlepšie v krajine!

19 (CPDV) “And you may even instruct that they take wagons from the land of Egypt, in order to transport their little ones as well as their wives. And say: ‘Take your father, and come quickly, as soon as possible.
19 (KAT) A prikážeš im aj toto: Aj toto urobte: Vezmite si z egyptskej krajiny vozy pre svoje deti a ženy a naložte svojho otca a príďte sem!

20 (CPDV) You need not give up anything from your household, for all the riches of Egypt will be yours.’ ”
20 (KAT) Nech vám nie je ľúto vášho domáceho zariadenia, lebo čo je najlepšie v celej krajine, to bude vaše!“

21 (CPDV) And the sons of Israel did just as they were commanded. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and provisions for the journey.
21 (KAT) A Izraelovi synovia urobili tak. Jozef im dal na faraónov rozkaz vozy a dal im aj potraviny na cestu.

22 (CPDV) Likewise, he ordered two robes for each of them to be brought. Yet truly, to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver along with five of the best robes.
22 (KAT) A všetkým, každému osve, daroval sviatočný odev. Benjamínovi však daroval tristo strieborniakov a pätoro sviatočných šiat.

23 (CPDV) And he sent just as much money and clothing to his father, adding also ten male donkeys, with which to transport all the riches of Egypt, and as many female donkeys, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
23 (KAT) Svojmu otcovi poslal desať oslov obťažených najlepšími egyptskými plodinami a desať oslíc obťažených zrnom, chlebom a jedlom pre svojho otca na cestu.

24 (CPDV) Thus he sent away his brothers, and as they set out he said, “Do not become angry on the way.”
24 (KAT) Potom prepustil svojich bratov a oni šli. A ešte im pripomenul: „Cestou si nerobte výčitky!“

25 (CPDV) And they ascended out of Egypt, and they arrived in the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
25 (KAT) Tak odišli z Egypta a prišli k svojmu otcovi do krajiny Kanaán.

26 (CPDV) And they reported to him, saying: “Your son Joseph is alive, and he is ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. When Jacob heard this, 28 he was stirred up, as if from a deep sleep, yet he did not believe them.
26 (KAT) I oznámili mu: „Jozef ešte žije! Áno, on je vládcom nad celou egyptskou krajinou.“ No jeho srdce ostalo nevšímavé, lebo im neveril.

27 (CPDV) To the contrary, they explained the entire matter in order. And when he had seen the wagons, and all that he had sent, his spirit revived,
27 (KAT) Ale keď mu porozprávali všetko, čo im hovoril Jozef, a keď uvidel vozy, ktoré poslal Jozef, aby ho odviezli, tu sa vrátil život do ich otca Jakuba.

28 (CPDV) and he said: “It is enough for me, if my son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
28 (KAT) A Izrael zvolal: „Stačí mi, že môj syn Jozef ešte žije! Pôjdem, aby som ho uvidel, kým nezomriem!“
