  44:1 ¶
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. |
|
44:1 ¶
And he commanded°°°
the steward°°
of his house,°
saying,°°
Fill°°°
the men's°°
sacks°
[with] food,°
as much as°
they can°°
carry,°°
and put°°
every man's°
money°
in his sack's°
mouth.° |
|
44:2
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. |
|
44:2
And put°°
my cup,°
the silver°
cup,°
in the sack's°
mouth°
of the youngest,°
and his corn°
money.°
And he did°°
according to the word°
that°
Joseph°
had spoken.°° |
|
44:3
The morning dawned, and the men were sent away, they and their asses. |
|
44:3
As soon as the morning°
was light,°°
the men°°
were sent away,°°
they°
and their asses.° |
|
44:4
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 thou shalt overtake them, and say to them, Why have ye returned evil for good? |
|
44:4
[And] when they°
were gone out°°
of°°
the city,°
[and] not°
[yet] far off,°°
Joseph°
said°°
unto his steward,°°°
Up,°°
follow°°
after°
the men;°°
and when thou dost overtake°°
them, say°°
unto°
them, Wherefore°
have ye rewarded°°
evil°
for°
good?° |
|
44:5
Why have ye stolen my silver cup? is it not this out of which my lord drinks? and he divines augury with it; ye have accomplished evil in that which ye have done. |
|
44:5
[Is] not°
this°
[it] in which°
my adon°
drinketh,°°
and whereby indeed°°
he divineth?°°°
ye have done evil°°
in so°
doing.°° |
|
44:6 ¶
And he found them, and spoke to them according to these words. |
|
44:6 ¶
And he overtook°°
them, and he spake°°
unto°
them°
these same°
words.° |
|
44:7
And they said to him, Why does our lord speak according to these words? far be it from thy servants to do according to this word. |
|
44:7
And they said°°
unto°
him, Wherefore°
saith°°
my adon°
these°
words?°
God forbid°
that thy servants°
should do°°°
according to this°
thing:° |
|
44:8
If we brought back to thee out of the land of Canaan{gr.Chanaan} the money which we found in our sacks, how should we steal silver or gold out of the house of thy lord? |
|
44:8
Behold,°
the money,°
which°
we found°°
in our sacks'°
mouths,°
we brought again°°
unto°
thee out of the land°°
of Canaan:°
how°
then should we steal°°
out of thy adon's°
house°°°
silver°
or°
gold?° |
|
44:9
With whomsoever of thy servants thou shalt find the cup, let him die; and, moreover, we will be servants to our lord. |
|
44:9
With°
whomsoever°
of thy servants°°
it be found,°°
both let him die,°°
and we°
also°
will be°
my adon's°
bondmen.° |
|
44:10
And he said, Now then it shall be as ye say; with whomsoever the cup shall be found, he shall be my servant, and ye shall be clear. |
|
44:10
And he said,°°
Now°
also°°
[let] it°
[be] according unto your words:°°
he with°
whom°
it is found°°
shall be°
my servant;°
and ye°
shall be°
blameless.° |
|
44:11
And they hasted, and took down every man his sack on the ground, and they opened every man his sack. |
|
44:11
Then they speedily°°
took down°°
every man°°
his sack°
to the ground,°
and opened°°
every man°
his sack.° |
|
44:12
And he searched, beginning from the eldest, until he came to the youngest; and he found the cup in Benjamin's sack. |
|
44:12
And he searched,°°
[and] began°°
at the eldest,°
and left°°
at the youngest:°
and the cup°
was found°°
in Benjamin's°
sack.° |
|
44:13
And they rent their garments, and laid each man his sack on his ass, and returned to the city. |
|
44:13
Then they rent°°
their clothes,°
and laded°°
every man°
his ass,°
and returned°°
to the city.° |
|
44:14 ¶
And Judah{gr.Judas} and his brethren came in to Joseph, while he was yet there, and fell on the ground before him. |
|
44:14 ¶
And Judah°
and his brethren°
came°°
to Joseph's°
house;°
for he°
[was] yet°
there:°
and they fell°°
before°
him°
on the ground.° |
|
44:15
And Joseph said to them, What is this thing that ye have done? know ye not that a man such as I can surely divine? |
|
44:15
And Joseph°
said°°
unto them, What°
deed°
[is] this°
that°
ye have done?°°
wot°
ye°°
not°
that°
such a man°
as I°
can certainly°°
divine?°° |
|
44:16
And Judah{gr.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 thy servants; behold, we are slaves to our lord, both we and he with whom the cup has been found. |
|
44:16
And Judah°
said,°°
What°
shall we say°°
unto my adon?°
what°
shall we speak?°°
or how°
shall we clear ourselves?°°
Elohim°
hath found out°°°
the iniquity°
of thy servants:°
behold,°
we [are] my adon's°
servants,°
both°
we,°
and [he] also°
with whom°°
the cup°
is found.°° |
|
44:17
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 ye go up with safety to your father. |
|
44:17
And he said,°°
God forbid°
that I should do°°°
so:°
[but] the man°
in whose°
hand°
the cup°
is found,°°
he°
shall be°
my servant;°
and as for you,°
get you up°°
in peace°
unto°
your father.° |
|
44:18 ¶
And Judah{gr.Judas} drew near him, and said, I pray, Sir, let thy servant speak a word before thee, and be not angry with thy servant, for thou art next to Pharaoh{gr.Pharao}. |
|
44:18 ¶
Then Judah°
came near°°
unto him,°
and said,°°
Oh°
my adon,°
let thy servant,°
I pray thee,°
speak°°
a word°
in my adon's°
ears,°
and let not°
thine anger°
burn°°
against thy servant:°
for°
thou [art] even as°
Pharaoh.° |
|
44:19
Sir, thou askedst thy servants, saying, Have ye a father or a brother? |
|
44:19
My adon°
asked°°°
his servants,°
saying,°°
Have°
ye a father,°
or°
a brother?° |
|
44:20
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. |
|
44:20
And we said°°
unto°
my adon,°
We have°
a father,°
an old man,°
and a child°
of his old age,°
a little one;°
and his brother°
is dead,°°
and he°
alone°
is left°°
of his mother,°
and his father°
loveth°°
him. |
|
44:21
And thou saidst to they servants, Bring him down to me, and I will take care of him. |
|
44:21
And thou saidst°°
unto°
thy servants,°
Bring him down°°
unto°
me, that I may set°°
mine eyes°
upon°
him. |
|
44:22
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. |
|
44:22
And we said°°
unto°
my adon,°
The lad°
cannot°°°
leave°°°
his father:°
for [if] he should leave°°°
his father,°
[his father] would die.°° |
|
44:23
But thou saidst to they servants, Except your younger brother come down with you, ye shall not see my face again. |
|
44:23
And thou saidst°°
unto°
thy servants,°
Except°°
your youngest°
brother°
come down°°
with°
you, ye shall see°°°
my face°
no°
more.°°°° |
|
44:24
And it came to pass, when we went up to thy servant our father, we reported to him the words of our lord. |
|
44:24
And it came to pass°
when°
we came up°°
unto°
thy servant°
my father,°
we told°°
him°
the words°
of my adon.° |
|
44:25
And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food. |
|
44:25
And our father°
said,°°
Go again,°°
[and] buy°°
us a little°
food.° |
|
44:26
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. |
|
44:26
And we said,°°
We cannot°°°
go down:°°
if°
our youngest°
brother°
be°
with°
us, then will we go down:°°
for°
we may°°
not°
see°°
the man's°
face,°
except°
our youngest°
brother°
[be] with°
us. |
|
44:27
And thy servant our father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two [sons]; |
|
44:27
And thy servant°
my father°
said°°
unto°
us, Ye°
know°°
that°
my wife°
bare°°
me two°
[sons]: |
|
44:28
and one is departed from me; and ye said that he was devoured of wild beasts, and I have not seen him until now. |
|
44:28
And the one°
went out°°
from°°
me, and I said,°°
Surely°°°
he is torn in pieces;°°
and I saw°
him°°
not°
since:°° |
|
44:29
If then ye take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall ye bring down my old age with sorrow to the grave. |
|
44:29
And if ye take°°°
this°
also°
from°°
me,°
and mischief°
befall°
him,°°
ye shall bring down°°°
my gray hairs°
with sorrow°
to the grave.° |
|
44:30
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) |
|
44:30
Now°
therefore when I come°°
to°
thy servant°
my father,°
and the lad°
[be] not°
with°
us; seeing that his life°
is bound up°°
in the lad's life;° |
|
44:31
-- it shall even come to pass, when he sees the boy is not with us, [that] he will die, and thy servants will bring down the old age of thy servant, and our father, with sorrow to the grave. |
|
44:31
It shall come to pass,°
when he seeth°°
that°
the lad°
[is] not°
[with us], that he will die:°°
and thy servants°
shall bring down°°°
the gray hairs°
of thy servant°
our father°
with sorrow°
to the grave.° |
|
44:32
For thy servant has received the boy [in charge] from his father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, and place him before thee, I shall be guilty towards my father for ever. |
|
44:32
For°
thy servant°
became surety°°
for°
the lad°
unto°°
my father,°
saying,°°
If°
I bring°°
him not°
unto°
thee, then I shall bear the blame°°
to my father°
for ever.°° |
|
44:33
Now then I will remain a servant with thee instead of the lad, a domestic of my lord; but let the lad go up with his brethren. |
|
44:33
Now°
therefore, I pray thee,°
let thy servant°
abide°°
instead of°
the lad°
a bondman°
to my adon;°
and let the lad°
go up°°
with°
his brethren.° |
|
44:34
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. |
|
44:34
For°
how°
shall I go up°°
to°
my father,°
and the lad°
[be] not°
with°
me? lest peradventure°
I see°°
the evil°
that°
shall come on°°°
my father.° |
