Genesis 44

Studie

   

1 Juozapas įsakė savo namų prievaizdui: “Pripilk tų vyrų maišus, kiek tik jie pajėgia panešti, ir įdėk kiekvieno pinigus į jo maišą.

2 O mano sidabrinę taurę įdėk į jauniausiojo maišą kartu su pinigais už javus”. Jis padarė, kaip Juozapas buvo įsakęs.

3 ytui išaušus, išleido juos su jų asilais.

4 Vos tik jiems išėjus iš miesto, Juozapas tarė namų prievaizdui: “Vykis tuos vyrus ir, juos pasivijęs, sakyk: ‘Kodėl jūs atsilyginote piktu gera?

5 Kodėl pavogėte mano valdovo sidabrinę taurę? Ar ne iš jos geria mano valdovas ir ar ne su ja jis buria? Jūs blogai pasielgėte’ ”.

6 Prievaizdas, juos pasivijęs, kalbėjo tuos žodžius.

7 Jie atsakė jam: “Kodėl mūsų viešpats taip kalba? Gink Dieve, kad tavo tarnai taip pasielgtų!

8 Pinigus, kuriuos radome maišuose, atnešėme atgal iš Kanaano šalies. Kaip tad mes vogsime iš tavo valdovo namų sidabrą ar auksą?

9 Pas kurį iš mūsų ją rasi, tas temiršta, o mes visi tapsime tavo valdovo vergais”.

10 Jis atsakė: “Tebūna, kaip sakote! Pas kurį rasiu taurę, taps vergu, o visi kiti būsite nekalti”.

11 Tada kiekvienas jų skubiai pastatė savo maišą ant žemės ir atrišo jį.

12 Jis ėmė ieškoti, pradėjo nuo vyriausiojo ir baigė jauniausiuoju. Ir rado taurę Benjamino maiše.

13 Jie persiplėšė drabužius, uždėjo maišus ant savo asilų ir sugrįžo į miestą.

14 Judas ir jo broliai atėjo į Juozapo namus, nes jis dar buvo ten. Jie puolė prieš jį ant žemės.

15 Juozapas tarė jiems: “Ką padarėte! Argi nežinojote, kad toks vyras kaip aš tikrai moku burti?”

16 Judas atsakė: “Ką besakysime mūsų valdovui? Kaip bekalbėsime? Ir kuo pasiteisinsime? Dievas rado tavo tarnų kaltę. Mes esame mūsų valdovo vergai, taip pat ir tas, pas kurį rasta taurė”.

17 Juozapas atsakė: “Gink Dieve, kad taip padaryčiau! Tik tas vyras, pas kurį rasta taurė, bus mano vergas, o jūs laisvi keliaukite pas savo tėvą!”

18 Tada priartėjo prie jo Judas ir tarė: “Mano valdove, prašau, leisk savo tarnui pasiaiškinti ir nesupyk ant savo tarno, nes esi kaip faraonas.

19 Mano valdove, tu klausei savo tarnų: ‘Ar jūs turite tėvą ar brolį?’

20 Mes atsakėme: ‘Turime seną tėvą ir jauną brolį, gimusį jam senatvėje. Jo brolis yra miręs, ir jis yra vienintelis likęs iš savo motinos; tad tėvasmyli’.

21 Tada liepei: ‘Atveskite, kad jį pamatyčiau savo akimis!’

22 Mes atsakėme: ‘Berniukas negali palikti savo tėvo, nes tėvas mirs, jei paliks!’

23 Tada, valdove, pasakei savo tarnams: ‘Jei jūsų jauniausias brolis neateis su jumis, nepasirodykite mano akyse!’

24 Kai parėjome pas tavo tarną, mūsų tėvą, jam pranešėme tavo, valdove, žodžius.

25 Ir mūsų tėvas tarė: ‘Vėl nukeliavę nupirkite kiek maisto’.

26 Mes atsakėme: ‘Negalime keliauti! Tik jei leisi jauniausią brolį su mumis, keliausime. Mes negalime pasirodyti tam žmogui be mūsų jauniausiojo brolio’.

27 Tavo tarnas, mūsų tėvas, atsakė: ‘Jūs patys žinote, kad mano žmona man pagimdė du sūnus.

28 Vienas išėjo, ir aš pasakiau: ‘Jį sudraskė žvėris’. Ir aš jo daugiau nebemačiau.

29 Jei ir šitą paimsite iš manęs ir jam atsitiks nelaimė, nuvarysite mano žilus plaukus su sielvartu į kapus’.

30 Taigi, jei dabar pareisiu pas tavo tarną, mano tėvą, ir su mumis nebus berniuko, prie kurio tėvas labai prisirišęs,

31 jis numirs, matydamas, kad jo nėra su mumis. Ir tavo tarnai nuvarys tavo tarno, mūsų tėvo, žilus plaukus su sielvartu į kapus.

32 Tavo tarnas laidavo už berniuką savo tėvui, sakydamas: ‘Jei aš jo neparvesiu, būsiu nusikaltęs tau visą amžių’,

33 todėl prašau, valdove, palik mane berniuko vietoje tau vergauti, o berniukas tegrįžta su broliais!

34 Kaip galėčiau grįžti pas savo tėvą be jauniausiojo brolio ir matyti nelaimę, kuri ištiks mano tėvą”.

5772. Verses 13-17 And they rent their clothes; and each one loaded his ass, and they returned to the city. And Judah and his brothers entered Joseph's house, and he, he was still there; and they fell before him to the earth. And Joseph said to them, What deed is this that you have done? Did you not know that a man such as I certainly practises divination? And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord, what shall we speak? And how shall we be acquitted? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we are my lord's slaves, even ourselves, even he in whose hand the cup was found. And [Joseph] said, Far be it from me to do this; the man in whose hand the cup was found, he will be my slave, and you, go up in peace to your father.

'And they rent their clothes' means mourning. 'And each one loaded his ass, and they returned to the city' means that truths were brought back up from sensory impressions to known facts. 'And Judah and his brothers entered' means the good of the Church and the accompanying truths. 'Joseph's house' means a communication with the internal. 'And he, he was still there' means foresight. 'And they fell before him to the earth' means an expression of humility. 'And Joseph said to them' means their perception at this point. 'What deed is this that you have done?' means that to lay claim to what is not one's own is a gross evil. 'Did you not know that a man such as I certainly practises divination?' means that that evil cannot be hidden from him who sees things that are to come and lie concealed. 'And Judah said' means a perception imparted to the good of the Church in the natural. 'What shall we say to my lord, what shall we speak?' means a wavering. 'And how shall we be acquitted?' means that we are guilty. 'God has found out the iniquity of your servants' means a confession. 'Behold, we are my lord's slaves' means that they are to be deprived for ever of their own freedom. 'Even ourselves' means both the adjuncts . . . 'Even he in whose hand the cup was found' means, and also the one with whom interior truth from the Divine celestial exists. 'And [Joseph] said, Far be it from me to do this' means that this must on no account be done. 'The man in whose hand the cup was found' means the one with whom interior truth received from the Divine exists. 'He will be my slave' means that he will be in subjection forever. 'And you, go up in peace to your father' means that the adjuncts, among whom that interior truth does not exist, are to return to their previous state.

Genesis 44

Studie

   

1 And 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.

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

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

4 And when they were gone out of the city, and 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?

5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.

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

7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:

8 Behold, 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?

9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.

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

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

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

13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.

14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.

15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?

16 And 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 servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.

17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.

18 Then 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.

19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?

20 And 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.

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

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

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

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

25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.

26 And 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, except our youngest brother be with us.

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

28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:

29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

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

31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.

32 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.

33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.

34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
