¹He commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each 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.

²Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money.” 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 donkeys.

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

⁴When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, ‘Why have you 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?

⁵Isn’t this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You 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!'

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

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

⁷They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a 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 to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house?

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

⁹With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondservants.”

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

¹⁰He said, “Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found will be my bondservant; and you will 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 hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.

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

¹²He searched, beginning with the eldest, and ending at the youngest. 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 tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.

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

¹⁴Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.

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

¹⁵Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed divine?”

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

¹⁶Judah said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? Or how will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s bondservants, both we, and he also in whose hand 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.'

¹⁷He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my bondservant; but as for you, go up in peace to 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 to him, and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are 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 you a father, or a brother?’

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

²⁰We said to 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 loves 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.

²¹You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’

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

²²We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t 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.

²³You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will 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.

²⁴It happened when we came up to your 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,

²⁵Our father said, ‘Go again, buy us a little food.’

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

²⁶We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is 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.

²⁷Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore 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 haven’t seen him since.

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

²⁹If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .’

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 your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’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 will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .

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 your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’

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, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, a bondservant to my lord; and let the boy go up with his brothers.

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

³⁴For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?—lest I see the evil that will 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!'
