Genesis 44

1 Præcepit autem Joseph dispensatori domus suæ, dicens: Imple saccos eorum frumento, quantum possunt capere: et pone pecuniam singulorum in summitate sacci.

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 Scyphum autem meum argenteum, et pretium quod dedit tritici, pone in ore sacci junioris. Factumque est ita.

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 Et orto mane, dimissi sunt cum asinis suis.

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

4 Jamque urbem exierant, et processerant paululum: tunc Joseph accersito dispensatore domus, Surge, inquit, et persequere viros: et apprehensis dicito: Quare reddidistis malum pro bono?

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 scyphus, quem furati estis, ipse est in quo bibit dominus meus, et in quo augurari solet: pessimam rem fecistis.

¿ 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 Fecit ille ut jusserat: et apprehensis per ordinem locutus est.

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

7 Qui responderunt: Quare sic loquitur dominus noster, ut servi tui tantum flagitii commiserint?

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 pecuniam, quam invenimus in summitate saccorum, reportavimus ad te de terra Chanaan: et quomodo consequens est ut furati simus de domo domini tui aurum vel argentum?

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 apud quemcumque fuerit inventum servorum tuorum quod quæris, moriatur, et nos erimus servi domini nostri.

[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 Qui dixit eis: Fiat juxta vestram sententiam: apud quemcumque fuerit inventus, ipse sit servus meus, vos autem eritis innoxii.

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 Itaque festinato deponentes in terram saccos, aperuerunt singuli.

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

12 Quos scrutatus, incipiens a majore usque ad minimum, invenit scyphum in sacco Benjamin.

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 At illi, scissis vestibus, oneratisque rursum asinis, reversi sunt in oppidum.

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

14 Primusque Judas cum fratribus ingressus est ad Joseph (necdum enim de loco abierat) omnesque ante eum pariter in terram corruerunt.

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 Quibus ille ait: Cur sic agere voluistis? an ignoratis quod non sit similis mei in augurandi scientia?

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 Cui Judas: Quid respondebimus, inquit, domino meo? vel quid loquemur, aut juste poterimus obtendere? Deus invenit iniquitatem servorum tuorum: en omnes servi sumus domini mei, et nos, et apud quem inventus est scyphus.

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 Respondit Joseph: Absit a me ut sic agam: qui furatus est scyphum, ipse sit servus meus: vos autem abite liberi ad patrem vestrum.

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 Accedens autem propius Judas, confidenter ait: Oro, domini mi, loquatur servus tuus verbum in auribus tuis, et ne irascaris famulo tuo: tu es enim post Pharaonem

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 dominus meus. Interrogasti prius servos tuos: Habetis patrem aut fratrem?

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

20 et nos respondimus tibi domino meo: Est nobis pater senex, et puer parvulus, qui in senectute illius natus est: cujus uterinus frater mortuus est: et ipsum solum habet mater sua, pater vero tenere diliget eum.

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 Dixistique servis tuis: Adducite eum ad me, et ponam oculos meos super illum.

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

22 Suggessimus domino meo: Non potest puer relinquere patrem suum: si enim illum dimiserit, morietur.

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 Et dixisti servis tuis: Nisi venerit frater vester minimus vobiscum, non videbitis amplius faciem meam.

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 Cum ergo ascendissemus ad famulum tuum patrem nostrum, narravimus ei omnia quæ locutus est dominus meus.

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

25 Et dixit pater noster: Revertimini, et emite nobis parum tritici.

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

26 Cui diximus: Ire non possumus: si frater noster minimus descenderit nobiscum, proficiscemur simul: alioquin illo absente, non audemus videre faciem viri.

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 Ad quæ ille respondit: Vos scitis quod duos genuerit mihi uxor mea.

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

28 Egressus est unus, et dixistis: Bestia devoravit eum: et hucusque non comparet.

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.

29 Si tuleritis et istum, et aliquid ei in via contigerit, deducetis canos meos cum mœrore ad inferos. (Sheol h7585)

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 Igitur si intravero ad servum tuum patrem nostrum, et puer defuerit (cum anima illius ex hujus anima pendeat),

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.

31 videritque eum non esse nobiscum, morietur, et deducent famuli tui canos ejus cum dolore ad inferos. (Sheol h7585)

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 Ego proprie servus tuus sim qui in meam hunc recepi fidem, et spopondi dicens: Nisi reduxero eum, peccati reus ero in patrem meum omni tempore.

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 Manebo itaque servus tuus pro puero in ministerio domini mei, et puer ascendat cum fratribus suis.

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 Non enim possum redire ad patrem meum, absente puero: ne calamitatis, quæ oppressura est patrem meum, testis assistam.

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.
