創世記 44
1 然後若瑟吩咐自己的管家說：「將糧食裝滿這些人的布袋，他們能帶多少，就裝多少；將每人的銀錢仍放在他的布袋口處，
And he commanded [the one] who [was] over household his saying fill [the] sacks of the men food just as they are able! to carry and put [the] silver of each man in [the] mouth of sack his.
2 再將我的銀杯和內最年幼購糧的銀錢，一併放在他的布袋口處。」管家就照若瑟吩咐的話做了。
And cup my [the] cup of silver you will put in [the] mouth of [the] sack of the young [brother] and [the] silver of grain his and he did according to [the] word of Joseph which he had spoken.
3 清早天一發亮，就遣送這些人帶著他們的驢走了。
The morning it was light and the men they were sent off they and donkeys their.
4 他們出了城，還不很遠，若瑟就對他的管家說：「你起身去追趕那些人，追上他們，就對他們說：你們為什麼以惡報善﹖
They they came out the city not they had gone far and Joseph he said to [the one] who [was] over household his arise pursue after the men and you will overtake them and you will say to them why? have you repaid evil for good.
5 為什麼偷去我的銀杯﹖這杯是我主人為飲酒占卜用的啊! 你們作的實在不對! 」
¿ Not [is] this [that] which he drinks master my in it and he indeed he practices divination by it you have done evil [that] which you have done.
6 管家追上他們，就對他們說了這些話。
And he overtook them and he spoke to them the words these.
7 他們回答說：「我主怎麼說些這樣的話﹖你的僕人們決不敢做這樣的事!
And they said to him why? does he speak master my according to the words these far be it to servants your from doing according to the manner this.
8 你看! 我們在布袋口所發現的銀錢，還從客納罕地帶回來給了你，我們怎能偷你主人家的金銀呢﹖
Here! silver which we found in [the] mouth of sacks our we brought back to you from [the] land of Canaan and how? will we steal from [the] house of master your silver or gold.
9 在你僕人中，不論在誰那裏搜出來，誰就該死，並且我們都該作我主的奴隸。」
[anyone] whom It is found with him of servants your and he will die and also we we will be[long] to lord my to slaves.
10 管家答說：「也好，就照你們的話做；只是在誰那裏搜出來，誰該作我的奴隸；你們其餘的人可自由離去。」
And he said also now according to words your [will be] so it [anyone] whom it is found with him he will be of me slave and you you will be innocent.
11 於是他們各人急忙將自己的布袋卸下，放在地上，各人打開自己的布袋。
And they hurried and they brought down each man sack his [the] ground towards and they opened each man sack his.
12 管家便一一搜查，從年長的開始，到年幼的為止；結果那杯在本雅明的布袋裏搜了出來。
And he searched with the old [brother] he began and with the young [brother] he finished and it was found the cup in [the] sack of Benjamin.
13 他們遂撕裂了自己的衣服，各人又使驢馱上重載，回城裏去了。
And they tore clothes their and he loaded each man on donkey his and they went back the city towards.
14 猶大和他的兄弟們進了若瑟的家，若瑟還在那裏，他們就在他面前俯伏在地。
And he came Judah and brothers his [the] house of towards Joseph and he still he [was] there and they fell before him [the] ground towards.
15 若瑟對他們說：「你們作的是什麼事﹖難道你們不知道像我這樣的人會占卜嗎﹖」
And he said to them Joseph what? [is] the deed this which you have done ¿ not do you know that indeed he practices divination a man who [is] like me.
16 猶大答說：「我們對我主還能說什麼﹖還有什麼話可說﹖我們如何能表白自己﹖天主已查出了你僕人們的罪惡。我們和在他手裏搜出杯來的，都應作我主的奴隸。」
And he said Judah what? will we say to lord my what? will we speak and what? will we justify ourselves God he has found [the] guilt of servants your here we [are] slaves of lord my both we as well as [the one] who it was found the cup in hand his.
17 若瑟答說：「我決不這樣做；在誰手裏搜出杯來，誰就該作我的奴隸；至於你們，都可平安上去，回到你們父親那裏。」
And he said far be it to me from doing this the man whom it was found the cup in hand his he he will be of me slave and you go up to peace to father your.
18 猶大近前對若瑟說：「我主，請原諒，容你僕人向我主進一言，請不要對你僕人動怒，因為你原與法郎無異。
And he drew near to him Judah and he said pardon me O lord my may he speak please servant your a word in [the] ears of lord my and may not it burn anger your on servant your for as you as Pharaoh.
19 我主以前曾問僕人們說：你們還有父親或兄弟嗎﹖
Lord my he asked servants his saying ¿ [does] there [belong] to you a father or a brother.
20 我們曾回答我主說：還有老父和他老年生的幼兒；他的哥哥死了，他母親只剩下了他一個；為此父親非常疼愛他。
And we said to lord my there [belongs] to us a father old and a child of old age young and brother his he died and he was left he to only him to mother his and father his he loves him.
21 你就對你僕人們說：將他帶到我這裏來，我要親眼看看他。
And you said to servants your bring down him to me so let me set eye my on him.
22 我們即對我主說：孩子是不能離開他父親的；如果離開了，他父親必會死去。
And we said to lord my not he will be able the young man to leave father his and he will leave father his and he will die.
23 你對你僕人們說：如果你們的小弟弟不同你們一起下來，你們休想再見我的面。
And you said to servants your if not he will come down brother your young with you not you will repeat! to see face my.
24 我們一上到你僕人，我父親那裏，就將我主的話告訴了他。
And it was that we went up to servant your father my and we told to him [the] words of lord my.
25 後來我們的父親說：你們再去給我們買點糧食來。
And he said father our go back buy for us a little of food.
26 我們答說：我們不能下去；除非我們的小弟弟同我們一起，我們才下去；因為我們的小弟弟不同我們在一起，我們不能見那人的面。
And we said not we are able to go down if there [is] brother our young with us and we will go down for not we will be able to see [the] face of the man and brother our young not he [is] with us.
27 你的僕人，我的父親就對我們說：你們知道，我的妻子給我只生了兩個兒子：
And he said servant your father my to us you you know that two [sons] she bore to me wife my.
28 其中一個離開我出去，我猜想，他是被猛獸撕裂了，到現在，再沒有見到他。
And he went out the one from with me and I said surely certainly he has been torn to pieces and not I have seen him until now.
And you will take also this [one] from with presence my and it will happen to him harm and you will cause to go down gray hair my in calamity Sheol towards. (Sheol h7585)
30 現在，如我回到你僕人，我父親那裏，孩童沒有與我們在一起，－－他原與這孩童相依為命，－－
And therefore when come I to servant your father my and the lad not [is] he with us and life his [is] bound up with life his.
And it will be when sees he that there not [is] the young man and he will die and they will bring down servants your [the] gray hair of servant your father our in sorrow Sheol towards. (Sheol h7585)
32 況且你的僕人曾在我父面前為孩童擔保說：如果我不將他帶回來交給你，我終生在我父前負罪。
For servant your he stood surety for the young man from with father my saying if not I will bring him to you and I will be culpable to father my all the days.
33 現在請讓你的僕人留下，代替孩童給我主為奴，讓孩童跟他哥哥們回去。
And therefore let him remain please servant your in place of the young man a slave of lord my and the lad let him go up with brothers his.
34 如果孩童不與我在一起，我怎能上去見我父親﹖我怕看見我父親遭到不幸! 」
For how? will I go up to father my and the lad not [is] he with me lest I should look on the calamity which it will find father my.
