Genesis 44

1 praecepit autem Ioseph dispensatori domus suae 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 iunioris 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 iamque urbem exierant et processerant paululum tum Ioseph arcessito dispensatore domus surge inquit persequere viros et adprehensis 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 scyphum 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 iusserat et adprehensis 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 quaeris moriatur et nos servi erimus 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 fiat iuxta vestram sententiam apud quem fuerit inventum 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 maiore usque ad minimum invenit scyphum in sacco Beniamin

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 Iudas cum fratribus ingressus est ad Ioseph necdum enim de loco abierat omnesque ante eum in terra pariter 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 Iudas quid respondebimus inquit domino meo vel quid loquemur aut iusti 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 Ioseph 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 propius Iudas confidenter ait oro domine 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 senecta illius natus est cuius uterinus frater est mortuus et ipsum solum habet mater sua pater vero tenere diligit 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 quae 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 descendet 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 atque 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 conparet

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 maerore 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 huius 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 eius 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 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 ministerium 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 absente puero ne calamitatis quae oppressura est patrem meum testis adsistam

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.
