¹And he commandeth him who [is] over his house, saying, `Fill the bags of the men [with] food, as they are able to bear, and put the money of each in the mouth of his bag;

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

²and my cup, the silver cup, thou dost put in the mouth of the bag of the young one, and his corn-money;` and he doth according to the word of Joseph which he hath spoken.

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

³The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their asses —

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

⁴they have gone out of the city — they have not gone far off — and Joseph hath said to him who [is] over his house, `Rise, pursue after the men; and thou hast overtaken them, and thou hast said unto them, Why have ye recompensed 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 that with which my lord drinketh? and he observeth diligently with it; ye have done evil [in] that which ye have done.`

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

⁶And he overtaketh them, and speaketh unto them these words,

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

⁷and they say unto him, `Why doth my lord speak according to these words? far be it from thy servants to do according to this word;

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

⁸lo, the money which we found in the mouth of our bags we brought back unto thee from the land of Canaan, and how do we steal from the house of thy lord 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 is found, he hath died, and we also are to my lord for servants.`

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

¹⁰And he saith, `Now, also, according to your words, so it [is]; he with whom it is found becometh my servant, and ye are acquitted;`

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

¹¹and they hasten and take down each his bag to the earth, and each openeth his bag;

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

¹²and he searcheth — at the eldest he hath begun, and at the youngest he hath completed — and the cup is found in the bag of Benjamin;

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

¹³and they rend their garments, and each ladeth his ass, and they turn back to the city.

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

¹⁴And Judah — his brethren also — cometh in unto the house of Joseph, and he is yet there, and they fall before him to the earth;

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

¹⁵and Joseph saith to them, `What [is] this deed that ye have done? have ye not known that a man like me doth diligently observe?`

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 saith, `What do we say to my lord? what do we speak? and what — do we justify ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants; lo, we [are] servants to my lord, both we, and he in whose hand the cup hath been 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 saith, `Far be it from me to do this; the man in whose hand the cup hath been found, he becometh my servant; and ye, go ye 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!'

¹⁸And Judah cometh nigh unto him, and saith, `O, my lord, let thy servant speak, I pray thee, a word in the ears of my lord, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant — for thou art 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 hath asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father or brother?

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

²⁰and we say unto my lord, We have a father, an aged one, and a child of old age, a little one; and his brother died, and he is left alone of his mother, and his father hath loved 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.

²¹`And thou sayest unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, and I set mine eye upon him;

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

²²and we say unto my lord, The youth is not able to leave his father, when he hath left his father, then he hath died;

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

²³and thou sayest unto thy servants, If your young brother come not down with you, ye add not to see my face.

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

²⁴`And it cometh to pass, that we have come up unto thy servant my father, that we declare to 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 saith, Turn back, buy for us a little food,

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

²⁶and we say, We are not able to go down; if our young brother is with us, then we have gone down; for we are not able to see the man`s face, and our young brother not 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.

²⁷`And thy servant my father saith unto us, Ye — ye have known that two did my wife bare to me,

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

²⁸and the one goeth out from me, and I say, Surely he is torn — torn! and I have not seen him since;

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

²⁹when ye have taken also this from my presence, and mischief hath met him, then ye have brought down my grey hairs with evil to sheol.

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

³⁰`And now, at my coming in unto thy servant my father, and the youth not with us (and his soul is bound up in his soul),

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

³¹then it hath come to pass when he seeth that the youth is not, that he hath died, and thy servants have brought down the grey hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to sheol;

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 obtained the youth by surety from my father, saying, If I bring him not in unto thee — then I have sinned against my father all the days.

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.

³³`And now, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the youth a servant to my lord, and the youth goeth up with his brethren,

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

³⁴for how do I go up unto my father, and the youth not with me? lest I look on the evil which doth find 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!'
