Genesis 42
1 And Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
audiens autem Iacob quod alimenta venderentur in Aegypto dixit filiis suis quare neglegitis
2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down thither and buy [grain] for us from thence, in order that we may live, and not die.
audivi quod triticum venundetur in Aegypto descendite et emite nobis necessaria ut possimus vivere et non consumamur inopia
3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy [grain] out of Egypt.
descendentes igitur fratres Ioseph decem ut emerent frumenta in Aegypto
4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest mischief may befall him.
Beniamin domi retento ab Iacob qui dixerat fratribus eius ne forte in itinere quicquam patiatur mali
5 So the sons of Israel came to buy [grain] among those that came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
ingressi sunt terram Aegypti cum aliis qui pergebant ad emendum erat autem fames in terra Chanaan
6 And Joseph, he was the governor over the land — he it was that sold [the corn] to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brethren came and bowed down to him, the face to the earth.
et Ioseph princeps Aegypti atque ad illius nutum frumenta populis vendebantur cumque adorassent eum fratres sui
7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and knew them; but he made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to them, and said to them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food.
et agnovisset eos quasi ad alienos durius loquebatur interrogans eos unde venistis qui responderunt de terra Chanaan ut emamus victui necessaria
8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they did not know him.
et tamen fratres ipse cognoscens non est agnitus ab eis
9 And Joseph remembered the dreams that he had dreamt of them; and he said to them, Ye are spies: to see the exposed places of the land ye are come.
recordatusque somniorum quae aliquando viderat ait exploratores estis ut videatis infirmiora terrae venistis
10 And they said to him, No, my lord; but to buy food are thy servants come.
qui dixerunt non est ita domine sed servi tui venerunt ut emerent cibos
11 We are all one man's sons; we are honest: thy servants are not spies.
omnes filii unius viri sumus pacifici venimus nec quicquam famuli tui machinantur mali
12 And he said to them, No; but to see the exposed places of the land are ye come.
quibus ille respondit aliter est inmunita terrae huius considerare venistis
13 And they said, Thy servants were twelve brethren, sons of one man, in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
et illi duodecim inquiunt servi tui fratres sumus filii viri unius in terra Chanaan minimus cum patre nostro est alius non est super
14 And Joseph said to them, That is it that I have spoken to you, saying, Ye are spies.
hoc est ait quod locutus sum exploratores estis
15 By this ye shall be put to the proof: as Pharaoh lives, ye shall not go forth hence, unless your youngest brother come hither!
iam nunc experimentum vestri capiam per salutem Pharaonis non egrediemini hinc donec veniat frater vester minimus
16 Send one of you, that he may fetch your brother, but ye shall be imprisoned, and your words shall be put to the proof, whether the truth is in you; and if not, as Pharaoh lives, ye are spies.
mittite e vobis unum et adducat eum vos autem eritis in vinculis donec probentur quae dixistis utrum falsa an vera sint alioquin per salutem Pharaonis exploratores estis
17 And he put them in custody three days.
tradidit ergo eos custodiae tribus diebus
18 And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, that ye may live: I fear God.
die autem tertio eductis de carcere ait facite quod dixi et vivetis Deum enim timeo
19 If ye are honest, let one of your brethren remain bound in the house of your prison, but go ye, carry grain for the hunger of your households;
si pacifici estis frater vester unus ligetur in carcere vos autem abite et ferte frumenta quae emistis in domos vestras
20 and bring your youngest brother to me, in order that your words be verified, and that ye may not die. And they did so.
et fratrem vestrum minimum ad me adducite ut possim vestros probare sermones et non moriamini fecerunt ut dixerat
21 Then they said one to another, We are indeed guilty concerning our brother, whose anguish of soul we saw when he besought us, and we did not hearken; therefore this distress is come upon us.
et locuti sunt invicem merito haec patimur quia peccavimus in fratrem nostrum videntes angustiam animae illius cum deprecaretur nos et non audivimus idcirco venit super nos ista tribulatio
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the lad? But ye did not hearken; and now behold, his blood also is required.
e quibus unus Ruben ait numquid non dixi vobis nolite peccare in puerum et non audistis me en sanguis eius exquiritur
23 And they did not know that Joseph understood, for the interpreter was between them.
nesciebant autem quod intellegeret Ioseph eo quod per interpretem loquebatur ad eos
24 And he turned away from them, and wept. And he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes.
avertitque se parumper et flevit et reversus locutus est ad eos
25 And Joseph gave orders to fill their vessels with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way. And thus did they to them.
tollens Symeon et ligans illis praesentibus iussitque ministris ut implerent saccos eorum tritico et reponerent pecunias singulorum in sacculis suis datis supra cibariis in via qui fecerunt ita
26 And they loaded their asses with their grain, and departed thence.
at illi portantes frumenta in asinis profecti sunt
27 And one of them opened his sack to give his ass food in the inn, and saw his money, and behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
apertoque unus sacco ut daret iumento pabulum in diversorio contemplatus pecuniam in ore sacculi
28 And he said to his brethren, My money is returned [to me], and behold, it is even in my sack. And their heart failed [them], and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this [that] God has done to us?
dixit fratribus suis reddita est mihi pecunia en habetur in sacco et obstupefacti turbatique dixerunt mutuo quidnam est hoc quod fecit nobis Deus
29 And they came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father, and told him all that had befallen them, saying,
veneruntque ad Iacob patrem suum in terra Chanaan et narraverunt ei omnia quae accidissent sibi dicentes
30 The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and treated us as spies of the land.
locutus est nobis dominus terrae dure et putavit nos exploratores provinciae
31 And we said to him, We are honest; we are not spies:
cui respondimus pacifici sumus nec ullas molimur insidias
32 we are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
duodecim fratres uno patre geniti sumus unus non est super minimus cum patre versatur in terra Chanaan
33 And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Hereby shall I know that ye are honest: leave one of your brethren with me, and take [for] the hunger of your households, and go,
qui ait nobis sic probabo quod pacifici sitis fratrem vestrum unum dimittite apud me et cibaria domibus vestris necessaria sumite et abite
34 and bring your youngest brother to me, and I shall know that ye are not spies, but are honest. Your brother will I give up to you; and ye may trade in the land.
fratremque vestrum minimum adducite ad me ut sciam quod non sitis exploratores et istum qui tenetur in vinculis recipere possitis ac deinceps emendi quae vultis habeatis licentiam
35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that behold, every man had his bundle of money in his sack; and they saw their bundles of money, they and their father, and were afraid.
his dictis cum frumenta effunderent singuli reppererunt in ore saccorum ligatas pecunias exterritisque simul omnibus
36 And Jacob their father said to them, Ye have bereaved me of children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin! All these things are against me.
dixit pater Iacob absque liberis me esse fecistis Ioseph non est super Symeon tenetur in vinculis Beniamin auferetis in me haec mala omnia reciderunt
37 And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons if I bring him not back to thee: give him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
cui respondit Ruben duos filios meos interfice si non reduxero illum tibi trade in manu mea et ego eum restituam
38 But he said, My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left; and if mischief should befall him by the way in which ye go, then would ye bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
at ille non descendet inquit filius meus vobiscum frater eius mortuus est ipse solus remansit si quid ei adversi acciderit in terra ad quam pergitis deducetis canos meos cum dolore ad inferos (Sheol h7585)
