Genesis 44

1 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.

And Joseph charged the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put the money of each in the mouth of his sack.

2 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.

And put my silver cup into the sack of the youngest, and the price of his corn. And it was done according to the word of Joseph, as he said.

3 The morning it was light and the men they were sent off they and donkeys their.

The morning dawned, and the men were sent away, they and their asses.

4 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.

And when they had gone out of the city, [and] were not far off, then Joseph said to his steward, Arise, and pursue after the men; and you shall overtake them, and say to them, Why have you returned evil for good?

5 ¿ 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.

Why have you stolen my silver cup? is it not this out of which my lord drinks? and he divines augury with it; you have accomplished evil in that which you have done.

6 And he overtook them and he spoke to them the words these.

And he found them, and spoke to them according to these words.

7 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.

And they said to him, Why does our lord speak according to these words? far be it from your servants to do according to this word.

8 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.

If we brought back to you out of the land of Chanaan the money which we found in our sacks, how should we steal silver or gold out of the house of your lord?

9 [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.

With whoever of your servants you shall find the cup, let him die; and, moreover, we will be servants to our lord.

10 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.

And he said, Now then it shall be as you say; with whoever the cup shall be found, he shall be my servant, and you shall be clear.

11 And they hurried and they brought down each man sack his [the] ground towards and they opened each man sack his.

And they hasted, and took down every man his sack on the ground, and they opened every man his sack.

12 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.

And he searched, beginning from the oldest, until he came to the youngest; and he found the cup in Benjamin's sack.

13 And they tore clothes their and he loaded each man on donkey his and they went back the city towards.

And they tore their garments, and laid each man his sack on his ass, and returned to the city.

14 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.

And Judas and his brethren came in to Joseph, while he was yet there, and fell on the ground before him.

15 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.

And Joseph said to them, What is this thing that you have done? know you not that a man such as I can surely divine?

16 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.

And Judas said, What shall we answer to our lord, or what shall we say, or wherein should we be justified? whereas God has discovered the unrighteousness of your servants; behold, we are slaves to our lord, both we and he with whom the cup has been found.

17 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.

And Joseph said, Far be it from me to do this thing; the man with whom the cup has been found, he shall be my servant; but do you go up with safety to your father.

18 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.

And Judas drew near him, and said, I pray, Sir, let your servant speak a word before you, and be not angry with your servant, for you are next to Pharao.

19 Lord my he asked servants his saying ¿ [does] there [belong] to you a father or a brother.

Sir, you asked your servants, saying, Have you a father or a brother?

20 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.

And we said to [my] lord, We have a father, an old man, and he has a son of his old age, a young one, and his brother is dead, and he alone has been left behind to his mother, and his father loves him.

21 And you said to servants your bring down him to me so let me set eye my on him.

And you said to they servants, Bring him down to me, and I will take care of him.

22 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.

And we said to [my] lord, The child will not be able to leave his father; but if he should leave his father, he will die.

23 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.

But you said to they servants, Except your younger brother come down with you, you shall not see my face again.

24 And it was that we went up to servant your father my and we told to him [the] words of lord my.

And it came to pass, when we went up to your servant our father, we reported to him the words of our lord.

25 And he said father our go back buy for us a little of food.

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

26 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.

And we said, We shall not be able to go down; but if our younger brother go down with us, we will go down; for we shall not be able to see the man's face, our younger brother not being with us.

27 And he said servant your father my to us you you know that two [sons] she bore to me wife my.

And your servant our father said to us, You know that my wife bore me two [sons];

28 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 one is departed from me; and you said that he was devoured of wild beasts, and I have not seen him until now.

29 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)

If then you take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall you bring down my old age with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)

30 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.

Now then, if I should go in to they servant, and our father, and the boy should not be with us, (and his life depends on this [lad's] life)

31 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)

—it shall even come to pass, when he sees the boy is not with us, [that] he will die, and your servants will bring down the old age of your servant, and our father, with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)

32 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.

For your servant has received the boy [in charge] from his father, saying, If I bring him not to you, and place him before you, I shall be guilty towards my father for ever.

33 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.

Now then I will remain a servant with you instead of the lad, a domestic of my lord; but let the lad go up with his brethren.

34 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.

For how shall I go up to my father, the lad not being with us? lest I behold the evils which will befall my father.
