|
44:1
|
约瑟吩咐家宰说：「把粮食装满这些人的口袋，尽着他们的驴所能驮的，又把各人的银子放在各人的口袋里，
|
|
|
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
|
并将我的银杯和那少年人籴粮的银子一同装在他的口袋里。」家宰就照约瑟所说的话行了；
|
|
|
And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack`s mouth of the youngest, and his grain money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
|
|
44:3
|
天一亮就打发那些人带着驴走了。
|
|
|
As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
|
|
44:4
|
他们出城走了不远，约瑟对家宰说：「起来，追那些人去，追上了就对他们说：『你们为什么以恶报善呢？
|
|
|
[And] when they were gone out of the city, and were 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
|
这不是我主人饮酒的杯吗？岂不是他占卜用的吗？你们这样行是作恶了。』」
|
|
|
Is not this that in which my lord drinketh, and whereby he indeed divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
|
|
44:6
|
家宰追上他们，将这些话对他们说了。
|
|
|
And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these words.
|
|
44:7
|
他们回答说：「我主为什么说这样的话呢？你仆人断不能做这样的事。
|
|
|
And they said unto him, Wherefore speaketh my lord such words as these? Far be it from thy servants that they should do such a thing.
|
|
44:8
|
你看，我们从前在口袋里所见的银子，尚且从迦南地带来还你，我们怎能从你主人家里偷窃金银呢？
|
|
|
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 lord`s house silver or gold?
|
|
44:9
|
你仆人中无论在谁那里搜出来，就叫他死，我们也作我主的奴仆。」
|
|
|
With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord`s bondmen.
|
|
44:10
|
家宰说：「现在就照你们的话行吧！在谁那里搜出来，谁就作我的奴仆；其余的都没有罪。」
|
|
|
And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my bondman; and ye shall be blameless.
|
|
44:11
|
于是他们各人急忙把口袋卸在地下，各人打开口袋。
|
|
|
Then they hasted, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
|
|
44:12
|
家宰就搜查，从年长的起到年幼的为止，那杯竟在便雅悯的口袋里搜出来。
|
|
|
And he searched, [and] began at the eldest, and left off at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin`s sack.
|
|
44:13
|
他们就撕裂衣服，各人把驮子抬在驴上，回城去了。
|
|
|
Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
|
|
44:14
|
犹大和他弟兄们来到约瑟的屋中，约瑟还在那里，他们就在他面前俯伏于地。
|
|
|
And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph`s house; and he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
|
|
44:15
|
约瑟对他们说：「你们做的是什么事呢？你们岂不知像我这样的人必能占卜吗？」
|
|
|
And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? know ye not that such a man as I can indeed divine?
|
|
44:16
|
犹大说：「我们对我主说什么呢？还有什么话可说呢？我们怎能自己表白出来呢？神已经查出仆人的罪孽了。我们与那在他手中搜出杯来的都是我主的奴仆。」
|
|
|
And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord`s bondmen, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.
|
|
44:17
|
约瑟说：「我断不能这样行！在谁的手中搜出杯来，谁就作我的奴仆；至于你们，可以平平安安的上你们父亲那里去。」
|
|
|
And he said, Far be it from me that I should do so: the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
|
|
44:18
|
犹大挨近他，说：「我主啊，求你容仆人说一句话给我主听，不要向仆人发烈怒，因为你如同法老一样。
|
|
|
Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh, my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord`s ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant; for thou art even as Pharaoh.
|
|
44:19
|
我主曾问仆人们说：『你们有父亲有兄弟没有？』
|
|
|
My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
|
|
44:20
|
我们对我主说：『我们有父亲，已经年老，还有他老年所生的一个小孩子。他哥哥死了，他母亲只撇下他一人，他父亲疼爱他。』
|
|
|
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 loveth him.
|
|
44:21
|
你对仆人说：『把他带到我这里来，叫我亲眼看看他。』
|
|
|
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
|
|
44:22
|
我们对我主说：『童子不能离开他父亲，若是离开，他父亲必死。』
|
|
|
And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
|
|
44:23
|
你对仆人说：『你们的小兄弟若不与你们一同下来，你们就不得再见我的面。』
|
|
|
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
|
|
44:24
|
我们上到你仆人我们父亲那里，就把我主的话告诉了他。
|
|
|
And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
|
|
44:25
|
我们的父亲说：『你们再去给我籴些粮来。』
|
|
|
And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food.
|
|
44:26
|
我们就说：『我们不能下去。我们的小兄弟若和我们同往，我们就可以下去。因为，小兄弟若不与我们同往，我们必不得见那人的面。』
|
|
|
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, expect our youngest brother be with us.
|
|
44:27
|
你仆人我父亲对我们说：『你们知道我的妻子给我生了两个儿子。
|
|
|
And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
|
|
44:28
|
一个离开我出去了；我说他必是被撕碎了，直到如今我也没有见他。
|
|
|
and the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him since:
|
|
44:29
|
现在你们又要把这个带去离开我，倘若他遭害，那便是你们使我白发苍苍、悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。』
|
|
|
and if ye take this one also from me, and harm befall him, ye will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.
|
|
44:30
|
我父亲的命与这童子的命相连。如今我回到你仆人我父亲那里，若没有童子与我们同在，
|
|
|
Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad`s life;
|
|
44:31
|
我们的父亲见没有童子，他就必死。这便是我们使你仆人我们的父亲白发苍苍、悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。
|
|
|
it will come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not [with us], that he will die: and thy servants will bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.
|
|
44:32
|
因为仆人曾向我父亲为这童子作保，说：『我若不带他回来交给父亲，我便在父亲面前永远担罪。』
|
|
|
For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I bear the blame to my father for ever.
|
|
44:33
|
现在求你容仆人住下，替这童子作我主的奴仆，叫童子和他哥哥们一同上去。
|
|
|
Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
|
|
44:34
|
若童子不和我同去，我怎能上去见我父亲呢？恐怕我看见灾祸临到我父亲身上。」
|
|
|
For how shall I go up to my father, if the lad be not with me? lest I see the evil that shall come on my father.
