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

¹And he commanded him who was over his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry; and put every man's money in the mouth of his sack.

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 mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain-money. And he did according to the word of Joseph which he had spoken.

³فلما اضاء الصبح انصرف الرجال هم وحميرهم.

³In the morning, when it 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.

⁴They were gone out of the city, [and] not [yet] far off, when Joseph said to him who was over his house, Up! follow after the men; and when thou overtakest them, thou shalt say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good?

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

⁵Is not this [it] in which my lord drinks, and in which indeed he divines? Ye have done evil [in] what ye have done.

⁶فادركهم وقال لهم هذا الكلام.

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

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

⁷And they said to him, Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from thy servants to 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 that we found in our sacks' mouths we have brought again to thee from the land of Canaan; and how 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 is 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 to your words: let him with whom it is found be my bondman, but ye shall be blameless.

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

¹¹And they hasted and laid down every man his sack on the ground, and opened every man his sack.

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

¹²And he searched carefully: he began at the eldest, and ended 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 loaded every man his ass, and they 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 still there; and they fell down before him to the ground.

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

¹⁵And Joseph said to them, What deed is this which ye have done? Did ye not know that such a man as I can certainly 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 to my lord? what shall we speak, and how justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been 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 to do so! The man in whose hand the cup has been found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, go up in peace to 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 to him, and said, Ah! 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 to my lord, We have an aged father, and a child born to him in his old age, [yet] young; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.

²¹فقلت لعبيدك انزلوا به اليّ فاجعل نظري عليه.

²¹And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set mine eye on him.

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

²²And we said to my lord, The youth cannot leave his father: 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 to thy servants, Unless 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 to 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.

²⁶But we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.

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

²⁷And thy servant my father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore 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, He must certainly have been torn in pieces; and I have not seen him [again] hitherto.

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

²⁹And if ye take this one also from me, and mischief should befall him, ye will bring down my grey hairs with misery to Sheol.

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

³⁰And now, when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us, -- seeing that his life is bound up with his life,

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

³¹it will come to pass when he sees that the lad is not [there], that he will die; and thy servants will bring down the grey 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 to my father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, then I shall be guilty toward my father all my days.

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

³³And now, let thy servant stay, I pray thee, 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 should I go up to my father if the lad were not with me? -- lest I see the evil that would come on my father.
