¹And 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.

¹Siis ta käskis oma kojaülemat, öeldes: 'Täida meeste kotid viljaga, nii palju kui nad jaksavad kanda, ja pane igamehe raha ta koti suhu.

²And 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.

²Ja minu karikas, see hõbekarikas, pane noorima venna koti suhu koos ta viljarahaga!' Ja ta tegi, nagu Joosep käskis.

³As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

³Hommikul, kui läks valgeks, lasti minema mehed ja nende eeslid.

⁴And 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?

⁴Kui nad olid linnast lahkunud ega olnud veel kaugele jõudnud, ütles Joosep oma kojaülemale: 'Võta kätte, aja mehi taga, ja kui oled nad tabanud, siis ütle neile: Miks tasute head kurjaga?

⁵Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.

⁵Eks see ole see, millest mu isand joob ja millest ta endeid otsib? Olete käitunud halvasti, et tegite nõnda!'

⁶And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.

⁶Ja kui ta nad tabas, siis ta rääkis neile needsamad sõnad.

⁷And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:

⁷Aga nad vastasid temale: 'Miks räägib mu isand nõndaviisi? Su sulastele oleks teotuseks nõnda teha.

⁸Behold, 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?

⁸Vaata, raha, mis me leidsime oma kottide suust, tõime sulle tagasi Kaananimaalt. Kuidas võiksime siis varastada su isanda kojast hõbedat või kulda?

⁹With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.

⁹Kelle juurest su sulaste hulgast see leitakse, surgu, ja me teised jääme su isandale orjadeks!'

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰Siis ta ütles: 'Olgu see nüüd ka nõnda teie sõnade järgi! Kelle juurest see leitakse, jäägu mulle sulaseks, ja te teised olete süüta!'

¹¹Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

¹¹Ja nad tõttasid ning tõstsid igaüks oma koti maha ja iga mees tegi oma koti lahti.

¹²And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

¹²Ja ta otsis nad läbi, alates vanemast ja lõpetades nooremaga - ja karikas leiti Benjamini kotist.

¹³Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.

¹³Siis nad käristasid oma riided lõhki, iga mees pani oma eeslile koorma selga ja nad läksid tagasi linna.

¹⁴And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.

¹⁴Ja Juuda läks koos oma vendadega Joosepi kotta, kes oli alles seal, ja nad heitsid maha tema ette.

¹⁵And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?

¹⁵Ja Joosep ütles neile: 'Mis tegu see on, mis te olete teinud? Eks te tea, et niisugune mees nagu mina oskab endeid seletada?'

¹⁶And 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 servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.

¹⁶Siis vastas Juuda: 'Mida me oma isandale ütleme? Kuidas peame rääkima ja kuidas endid õigustama? Jumal on avastanud su sulaste süü. Vaata, me jääme oma isandale sulaseiks, niihästi meie kui see, kelle käest karikas leiti.'

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁷Aga ta ütles: 'Ei tule mulle mõttessegi seda teha! Mees, kelle käest karikas leiti, peab jääma mulle sulaseks, te teised aga minge rahuga oma isa juurde!'

¹⁸Then 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.

¹⁸Siis astus Juuda tema juurde ja ütles: 'Mu isand, luba ometi oma sulast rääkida üks sõna mu isanda kõrva ees ja su viha ärgu süttigu põlema oma sulase vastu, sest sina oled nagu vaarao ise!

¹⁹My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?

¹⁹Mu isand küsis oma sulaseilt, öeldes: On teil isa või mõni vend?

²⁰And 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.

²⁰Ja meie vastasime oma isandale: Meil on vana isa ja üks nooruk, ta vanas eas sündinud, alles noor; aga selle vend on surnud ja ta on üksi oma emast järele jäänud, ja ta isa armastab teda.

²¹And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.

²¹Ja sa ütlesid oma sulaseile: Tooge ta minu juurde, et ma näeksin teda oma silmaga!

²²And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

²²Ja me vastasime oma isandale: Nooruk ei või isast lahkuda. Kui ta lahkuks oma isast, siis see sureks.

²³And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.

²³Ja sa ütlesid oma sulaseile: Kui teie noorim vend ei tule koos teiega, siis te ei saa enam näha mu nägu.

²⁴And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

²⁴Ja kui me läksime su sulase, meie isa juurde ja andsime temale teada oma isanda sõnad,

²⁵And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.

²⁵siis ütles meie isa: Minge jälle tagasi, ostke meile pisut leiba!

²⁶And 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.

²⁶Aga me vastasime: Me ei või minna. Kui meie noorim vend on koos meiega, siis me läheme, sest me ei saa näha selle mehe nägu, kui meie noorim vend ei ole koos meiega.

²⁷And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:

²⁷Ja su sulane, minu isa, ütles meile: Te teate, et mu naine on mulle kaks poega ilmale toonud.

²⁸And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:

²⁸Aga üks läks mu juurest ära ja ma ütlesin: Ta on tõesti maha murtud! Ja ma pole teda tänini enam näinud.

²⁹And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

²⁹Kui te nüüd võtate ka selle mu silma alt ja temaga juhtub õnnetus, siis saadate mu hallid juuksed kurvastusega hauda.

³⁰Now 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;

³⁰Ja kui ma nüüd tuleksin su sulase, oma isa juurde ja koos meiega ei oleks poiss, kelle hingesse tema hing on kiindunud,

³¹It 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.

³¹ja kui ta siis näeb, et poissi ei ole, ta sureb ja su sulased on sinu sulase, meie isa hallid juuksed saatnud murega hauda,

³²For 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.

³²sest su sulane on poisile käemeheks mu isa juures, kuna ma olen öelnud: Kui ma ei too teda sinu juurde, siis ma jään oma isa ees alatiseks süüdlaseks.

³³Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.

³³Ja nüüd siis jäägu su sulane poisi asemel sulaseks mu isandale ja poiss mingu koos oma vendadega!

³⁴For 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.

³⁴Sest kuidas võiksin minna oma isa juurde, kui poiss ei oleks koos minuga? Et ma ei näeks seda õnnetust, mis juhtub mu isaga!'
