Kniha Genezis

1 (KJV) And the famine was sore in the land.
1 (KAT) Ale hlad ťažko doliehal na krajinu.

2 (KJV) And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, 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 (KJV) And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be 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 (KJV) If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
4 (KAT) Ak pošleš s nami aj nášho brata, tak sa vyberieme nakúpiť pre teba živobytia.

5 (KJV) But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
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 (KJV) And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
6 (KAT) Vtedy Izrael povedal: „Prečo ste len priviedli na mňa nešťastie a prezradili ste, že máte ešte brata?“

7 (KJV) And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
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 (KJV) And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.
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 (KJV) I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
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 (KJV) For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
10 (KAT) Lebo keby sme neboli toľko otáľali, boli by sme sa už dva razy vrátili.“

11 (KJV) And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, 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 (KJV) And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:
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 (KJV) Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
13 (KAT) Zoberte so sebou aj svojho brata! A už choďte, vráťte sa k tomu mužovi!

14 (KJV) And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am 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 (KJV) And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before 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 (KJV) And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.
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 (KJV) And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
17 (KAT) Ten človek urobil, ako rozkázal Jozef, a mužov zaviedol do Jozefovho domu.

18 (KJV) And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
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 (KJV) And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
19 (KAT) I pristúpili k správcovi Jozefovho domu, prihovorili sa mu pri vchode do domu

20 (KJV) And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
20 (KAT) a vraveli mu: „Prosíme, pane! My sme sem raz prišli nakúpiť potravy.

21 (KJV) And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
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 (KJV) And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
22 (KAT) Doniesli sme však aj iné peniaze, aby sme nakúpili potravín. My vôbec nevieme, kto nám naše peniaze vložil do našich vriec.“

23 (KJV) And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto 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 (KJV) And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
24 (KAT) A tento človek zaviedol mužov do Jozefovho domu, dal im vody, aby si umyli nohy, a dal tiež krmu ich oslom.

25 (KJV) And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
25 (KAT) Kým však neprišiel napoludnie Jozef, oni vykladali dary, lebo počuli, že tu budú jesť.

26 (KJV) And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
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 (KJV) And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet 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 (KJV) And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
28 (KAT) Oni odpovedali: „Tvoj sluha, náš otec, ešte žije.“ Pritom sa mu hlboko poklonili.

29 (KJV) And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, 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 (KJV) And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
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 (KJV) And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
31 (KAT) Potom si umyl tvár a opäť vyšiel von a s premáhaním povedal: „Prineste jedlo!“

32 (KJV) And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
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 (KJV) And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.
33 (KAT) Oni však sedeli naproti nemu, a od najstaršieho po najmladšieho, celkom podľa veku. Takže sa nad tým títo mužovia veľmi divili.

34 (KJV) And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry 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.
