Genesis 44
1 And he commanded him who was over his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry; and put every man's money in the mouth of his sack.
| ثُمَّ أَمَرَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى بَيْتِهِ قَائِلًا: «ٱمْلَأْ عِدَالَ ٱلرِّجَالِ طَعَامًا حَسَبَ مَا يُطِيقُونَ حِمْلَهُ، وَضَعْ فِضَّةَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ فِي فَمِ عِدْلِهِ. | ١ |
2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain-money. And he did according to the word of Joseph which he had spoken.
| وَطَاسِي، طَاسَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، تَضَعُ فِي فَمِ عِدْلِ ٱلصَّغِيرِ، وَثَمَنَ قَمْحِهِ». فَفَعَلَ بِحَسَبِ كَلَامِ يُوسُفَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ. | ٢ |
3 In the morning, when it was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
| فَلَمَّا أَضَاءَ ٱلصُّبْحُ ٱنْصَرَفَ ٱلرِّجَالُ هُمْ وَحَمِيرُهُمْ. | ٣ |
4 They were gone out of the city, [and] not [yet] far off, when Joseph said to him who was over his house, Up! follow after the men; and when thou overtakest them, thou shalt say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good?
| وَلَمَّا كَانُوا قَدْ خَرَجُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَلَمْ يَبْتَعِدُوا، قَالَ يُوسُفُ لِلَّذِي عَلَى بَيْتِهِ: «قُمِ ٱسْعَ وَرَاءَ ٱلرِّجَالِ، وَمَتَى أَدْرَكْتَهُمْ فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: لِمَاذَا جَازَيْتُمْ شَرًّا عِوَضًا عَنْ خَيْرٍ؟ | ٤ |
5 Is not this [it] in which my lord drinks, and in which indeed he divines? Ye have done evil [in] what ye have done.
| أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَشْرَبُ سَيِّدِي فِيهِ؟ وَهُوَ يَتَفَاءَلُ بِهِ. أَسَأْتُمْ فِي مَا صَنَعْتُمْ». | ٥ |
6 And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these words.
| فَأَدْرَكَهُمْ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ. | ٦ |
7 And they said to him, Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from thy servants to do such a thing!
| فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لِمَاذَا يَتَكَلَّمُ سَيِّدِي مِثْلَ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ؟ حَاشَا لِعَبِيدِكَ أَنْ يَفْعَلُوا مِثْلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ! | ٧ |
8 Behold, the money that we found in our sacks' mouths we have brought again to thee from the land of Canaan; and how should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
| هُوَذَا ٱلْفِضَّةُ ٱلَّتِي وَجَدْنَا فِي أَفْوَاهِ عِدَالِنَا رَدَدْنَاهَا إِلَيْكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. فَكَيْفَ نَسْرِقُ مِنْ بَيْتِ سَيِّدِكَ فِضَّةً أَوْ ذَهَبًا؟ | ٨ |
9 With whomsoever of thy servants it is found, let him die; and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
| ٱلَّذِي يُوجَدُ مَعَهُ مِنْ عَبِيدِكَ يَمُوتُ، وَنَحْنُ أَيْضًا نَكُونُ عَبِيدًا لِسَيِّدِي». | ٩ |
10 And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according to your words: let him with whom it is found be my bondman, but ye shall be blameless.
| فَقَالَ: «نَعَمِ، ٱلْآنَ بِحَسَبِ كَلَامِكُمْ هَكَذَا يَكُونُ. ٱلَّذِي يُوجَدُ مَعَهُ يَكُونُ لِي عَبْدًا، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَتَكُونُونَ أَبْرِيَاءَ». | ١٠ |
11 And they hasted and laid down every man his sack on the ground, and opened every man his sack.
| فَٱسْتَعْجَلُوا وَأَنْزَلُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عِدْلَهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَفَتَحُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عِدْلَهُ. | ١١ |
12 And he searched carefully: he began at the eldest, and ended at the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
| فَفَتَّشَ مُبْتَدِئًا مِنَ ٱلْكَبِيرِ حَتَّى ٱنْتَهَى إِلَى ٱلصَّغِيرِ، فَوُجِدَ ٱلطَّاسُ فِي عِدْلِ بَنْيَامِينَ. | ١٢ |
13 Then they rent their clothes, and loaded every man his ass, and they returned to the city.
| فَمَزَّقُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَحَمَّلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حِمَارِهِ وَرَجَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٣ |
14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; and he was still there; and they fell down before him to the ground.
| فَدَخَلَ يَهُوذَا وَإِخْوَتُهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ يُوسُفَ وَهُوَ بَعْدُ هُنَاكَ، وَوَقَعُوا أَمَامَهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٤ |
15 And Joseph said to them, What deed is this which ye have done? Did ye not know that such a man as I can certainly divine?
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يُوسُفُ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلْفِعْلُ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلْتُمْ؟ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِثْلِي يَتَفَاءَلُ؟» | ١٥ |
16 And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak, and how justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found.
| فَقَالَ يَهُوذَا: «مَاذَا نَقُولُ لِسَيِّدِي؟ مَاذَا نَتَكَلَّمُ؟ وَبِمَاذَا نَتَبَرَّرُ؟ ٱللهُ قَدْ وَجَدَ إِثْمَ عَبِيدِكَ. هَا نَحْنُ عَبِيدٌ لِسَيِّدِي، نَحْنُ وَٱلَّذِي وُجِدَ ٱلطَّاسُ فِي يَدِهِ جَمِيعًا». | ١٦ |
17 And he said, Far be it from me to do so! The man in whose hand the cup has been found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.
| فَقَالَ: «حَاشَا لِي أَنْ أَفْعَلَ هَذَا! ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي وُجِدَ ٱلطَّاسُ فِي يَدِهِ هُوَ يَكُونُ لِي عَبْدًا، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَٱصْعَدُوا بِسَلَامٍ إِلَى أَبِيكُمْ». | ١٧ |
18 Then Judah came near to him, and said, Ah! 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.
| ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ يَهُوذَا وَقَالَ: «ٱسْتَمِعْ يَا سَيِّدِي. لِيَتَكَلَّمْ عَبْدُكَ كَلِمَةً فِي أُذُنَيْ سَيِّدِي وَلَا يَحْمَ غَضَبُكَ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ مِثْلُ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ١٨ |
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
| سَيِّدِي سَأَلَ عَبِيدَهُ قَائِلًا: هَلْ لَكُمْ أَبٌ أَوْ أَخٌ؟ | ١٩ |
20 And we said to my lord, We have an aged father, and a child born to him in his old age, [yet] young; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.
| فَقُلْنَا لِسَيِّدِي: لَنَا أَبٌ شَيْخٌ، وَٱبْنُ شَيْخُوخَةٍ صَغِيرٌ، مَاتَ أَخُوهُ وَبَقِيَ هُوَ وَحْدَهُ لِأُمِّهِ، وَأَبُوهُ يُحِبُّهُ. | ٢٠ |
21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set mine eye on him.
| فَقُلْتَ لِعَبِيدِكَ: ٱنْزِلُوا بِهِ إِلَيَّ فَأَجْعَلَ نَظَرِي عَلَيْهِ. | ٢١ |
22 And we said to my lord, The youth cannot leave his father: if he should leave his father, [his father] would die.
| فَقُلْنَا لِسَيِّدِي: لَا يَقْدِرُ ٱلْغُلَامُ أَنْ يَتْرُكَ أَبَاهُ، وَإِنْ تَرَكَ أَبَاهُ يَمُوتُ. | ٢٢ |
23 And thou saidst to thy servants, Unless your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
| فَقُلْتَ لِعَبِيدِكَ: إِنْ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ أَخُوكُمُ ٱلصَّغِيرُ مَعَكُمْ لَا تَعُودُوا تَنْظُرُونَ وَجْهِي. | ٢٣ |
24 And it came to pass when we came up to thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
| فَكَانَ لَمَّا صَعِدْنَا إِلَى عَبْدِكَ أَبِي أَنَّنَا أَخْبَرْنَاهُ بِكَلَامِ سَيِّدِي. | ٢٤ |
25 And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُونَا: ٱرْجِعُوا ٱشْتَرُوا لَنَا قَلِيلًا مِنَ ٱلطَّعَامِ. | ٢٥ |
26 But we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.
| فَقُلْنَا: لَا نَقْدِرُ أَنْ نَنْزِلَ، وَإِنَّمَا إِذَا كَانَ أَخُونَا ٱلصَّغِيرُ مَعَنَا نَنْزِلُ، لِأَنَّنَا لَا نَقْدِرُ أَنْ نَنْظُرَ وَجْهَ ٱلرَّجُلِ وَأَخُونَا ٱلصَّغِيرُ لَيْسَ مَعَنَا. | ٢٦ |
27 And thy servant my father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two [sons];
| فَقَالَ لَنَا عَبْدُكَ أَبِي: أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱمْرَأَتِي وَلَدَتْ لِي ٱثْنَيْنِ، | ٢٧ |
28 and the one went out from me, and I said, He must certainly have been torn in pieces; and I have not seen him [again] hitherto.
| فَخَرَجَ ٱلْوَاحِدُ مِنْ عِنْدِي، وَقُلْتُ: إِنَّمَا هُوَ قَدِ ٱفْتُرِسَ ٱفْتِرَاسًا، وَلَمْ أَنْظُرْهُ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ. | ٢٨ |
29 And if ye take this one also from me, and mischief should befall him, ye will bring down my grey hairs with misery to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
| فَإِذَا أَخَذْتُمْ هَذَا أَيْضًا مِنْ أَمَامِ وَجْهِي وَأَصَابَتْهُ أَذِيَّةٌ، تُنْزِلُونَ شَيْبَتِي بِشَرٍّ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. (Sheol h7585) | ٢٩ |
30 And now, when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us, — seeing that his life is bound up with his life,
| فَٱلْآنَ مَتَى جِئْتُ إِلَى عَبْدِكَ أَبِي، وَٱلْغُلَامُ لَيْسَ مَعَنَا، وَنَفْسُهُ مُرْتَبِطَةٌ بِنَفْسِهِ، | ٣٠ |
31 it will come to pass when he sees that the lad is not [there], that he will die; and thy servants will bring down the grey hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
| يَكُونُ مَتَى رَأَى أَنَّ ٱلْغُلَامَ مَفْقُودٌ، أَنَّهُ يَمُوتُ، فَيُنْزِلُ عَبِيدُكَ شَيْبَةَ عَبْدِكَ أَبِينَا بِحُزْنٍ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ، (Sheol h7585) | ٣١ |
32 For thy servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, then I shall be guilty toward my father all my days.
| لِأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ ضَمِنَ ٱلْغُلَامَ لِأَبِي قَائِلًا: إِنْ لَمْ أَجِئْ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ أَصِرْ مُذْنِبًا إِلَى أَبِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. | ٣٢ |
33 And now, let thy servant stay, I pray thee, instead of the lad a bondman to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brethren;
| فَٱلْآنَ لِيَمْكُثْ عَبْدُكَ عِوَضًا عَنِ ٱلْغُلَامِ، عَبْدًا لِسَيِّدِي، وَيَصْعَدِ ٱلْغُلَامُ مَعَ إِخْوَتِهِ. | ٣٣ |
34 for how should I go up to my father if the lad were not with me? — lest I see the evil that would come on my father.
| لِأَنِّي كَيْفَ أَصْعَدُ إِلَى أَبِي وَٱلْغُلَامُ لَيْسَ مَعِي؟ لِئَلَّا أَنْظُرَ ٱلشَّرَّ ٱلَّذِي يُصِيبُ أَبِي». | ٣٤ |
