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 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.

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 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.

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

As soon as the morning was light, 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 were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when you do overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have all of you rewarded 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.

Is not this it in which my lord drinks, and whereby indeed he divines? all of you have done evil in so doing.

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

And he overtook them, and he spoke unto them these same 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 unto him, Wherefore says my lord these words? God forbid that your servants should do according to this thing:

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.

Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto you out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of your lord's house silver or gold?

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 whomsoever of your servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.

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 also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and all of you shall be blameless.

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

Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and 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, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found 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.

Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man 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 Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.

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 unto them, What deed is this that all of you have done? know all of you not that such a man as I can certainly 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 Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is 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 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.

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.

Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let your servant, I pray you, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not your anger burn against your servant: for you are even as Pharaoh.

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

My lord asked his servants, saying, Have all of 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 unto my lord, 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 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 unto your servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon 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 unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would 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.

And you said unto your servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, all of you shall see my face no more.

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 came up unto your servant my father, we told him the words of my 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 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.

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 my father said unto us, All of you know that my wife bare 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 the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:

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)

And if all of you take this also from me, and mischief befall him, all of you shall bring down my gray hairs 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 therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the 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 come to pass, when he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and your servants shall bring down the gray hairs of your servant 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 became guarantor for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto you, then I shall bear the blame to 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 therefore, I pray you, let your servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and 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, and the lad be not with me? lest possibly I see the evil that shall come on my father.
