¹ثم امر الذي على بيته قائلا املأ عدال الرجال طعاما حسب ما يطيقون حمله وضع فضة كل واحد في فم عدله.

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.

²وطاسي طاس الفضة تضع في فم عدل الصغير وثمن قمحه. ففعل بحسب كلام يوسف الذي تكلّم به.

²And 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.

³فلما اضاء الصبح انصرف الرجال هم وحميرهم.

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

⁴ولما كانوا قد خرجوا من المدينة ولم يبتعدوا قال يوسف للذي على بيته قم اسع وراء الرجال ومتى ادركتهم فقل لهم لماذا جازيتم شرا عوضا عن خير.

⁴[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?

⁵أليس هذا هو الذي يشرب سيدي فيه. وهو يتفاءل به. اسأتم في ما صنعتم

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

⁶فادركهم وقال لهم هذا الكلام.

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

⁷فقالوا له لماذا يتكلم سيدي مثل هذا الكلام. حاشا لعبيدك ان يفعلوا مثل هذا الامر.

⁷And 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.

⁸هوذا الفضة التي وجدنا في افواه عدالنا رددناها اليك من ارض كنعان. فكيف نسرق من بيت سيدك فضة او ذهبا.

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?

⁹الذي يوجد معه من عبيدك يموت. ونحن ايضا نكون عبيدا لسيدي.

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

¹⁰فقال نعم الآن بحسب كلامكم هكذا يكون. الذي يوجد معه يكون لي عبدا. واما انتم فتكونون ابرياء.

¹⁰And 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.

¹¹فاستعجلوا وانزلوا كل واحد عدله الى الارض وفتحوا كل واحد عدله.

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

¹²ففتش مبتدأ من الكبير حتى انتهى الى الصغير. فوجد الطاس في عدل بنيامين.

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

¹³فمزقوا ثيابهم وحمّل كل واحد على حماره ورجعوا الى المدينة

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

¹⁴فدخل يهوذا واخوته الى بيت يوسف وهو بعد هناك. ووقعوا امامه على الارض.

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

¹⁵فقال لهم يوسف ما هذا الفعل الذي فعلتم ألم تعلموا ان رجلا مثلي يتفاءل.

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

¹⁶فقال يهوذا ماذا نقول لسيدي. ماذا نتكلم وبماذا نتبرر. الله قد وجد اثم عبيدك. ها نحن عبيد لسيدي نحن والذي وجد الطاس في يده جميعا.

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 bondmen, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.

¹⁷فقال حاشا لي ان افعل هذا. الرجل الذي وجد الطاس في يده هو يكون لي عبدا. واما انتم فاصعدوا بسلام الى ابيكم

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁸ثم تقدم اليه يهوذا وقال استمع يا سيدي. ليتكلم عبدك كلمة في أذني سيدي. ولا يحم غضبك على عبدك. لانك مثل فرعون.

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.

¹⁹سيدي سأل عبيده قائلا هل لكم اب او اخ.

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

²⁰فقلنا لسيدي لنا اب شيخ وابن شيخوخة صغير مات اخوه وبقي هو وحده لامه وابوه يحبه.

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.

²¹فقلت لعبيدك انزلوا به اليّ فاجعل نظري عليه.

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

²²فقلنا لسيدي لا يقدر الغلام ان يترك اباه. وان ترك اباه يموت.

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

²³فقلت لعبيدك ان لم ينزل اخوكم الصغير معكم لا تعودوا تنظرون وجهي.

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

²⁴فكان لما صعدنا الى عبدك ابي اننا اخبرناه بكلام سيدي.

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

²⁵ثم قال ابونا ارجعوا اشتروا لنا قليلا من الطعام.

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

²⁶فقلنا لا نقدر ان ننزل. وانما اذا كان اخونا الصغير معنا ننزل. لاننا لا نقدر ان ننظر وجه الرجل واخونا الصغير ليس معنا.

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, expect our youngest brother be with us.

²⁷فقال لنا عبدك ابي انتم تعلمون ان امرأتي ولدت لي اثنين.

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

²⁸فخرج الواحد من عندي وقلت انما هو قد افترس افتراسا. ولم انظره الى الآن.

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

²⁹فاذا اخذتم هذا ايضا من امام وجهي واصابته اذيّة تنزلون شيبتي بشر الى الهاوية.

²⁹and if ye take this one also from me, and harm befall him, ye will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.

³⁰فالآن متى جئت الى عبدك ابي والغلام ليس معنا ونفسه مرتبطة بنفسه

³⁰Now 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;

³¹يكون متى رأى ان الغلام مفقود انه يموت. فينزل عبيدك شيبة عبدك ابينا بحزن الى الهاوية.

³¹it 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.

³²لان عبدك ضمن الغلام لابي قائلا ان لم اجئ به اليك أصر مذنبا الى ابي كل الايام.

³²For 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.

³³فالآن ليمكث عبدك عوضا عن الغلام عبدا لسيدي ويصعد الغلام مع اخوته.

³³Now 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.

³⁴لاني كيف اصعد الى ابي والغلام ليس معي. لئلا انظر الشر الذي يصيب ابي

³⁴For 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.
