Hebrew Names Version HNV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Now Ya`akov saw that there was grain in Mitzrayim, and Ya`akov said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?"
1
audiens autem Iacob quod alimenta venderentur in Aegypto dixit filiis suis quare neglegitis
2 He said, "Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Mitzrayim. Go down there, and buy for us from there, so that we may live, and not die."
2
audivi quod triticum venundetur in Aegypto descendite et emite nobis necessaria ut possimus vivere et non consumamur inopia
3 Yosef's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Mitzrayim.
3
descendentes igitur fratres Ioseph decem ut emerent frumenta in Aegypto
4 But Ya`akov didn't send Binyamin, Yosef's brother, with his brothers; for he said, "Lest perhaps harm befall him."
4
Beniamin domi retento ab Iacob qui dixerat fratribus eius ne forte in itinere quicquam patiatur mali
5 The sons of Yisra'el came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Kana`an.
5
ingressi sunt terram Aegypti cum aliis qui pergebant ad emendum erat autem fames in terra Chanaan
6 Yosef was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. Yosef's brothers came, and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the eretz.
6
et Ioseph princeps Aegypti atque ad illius nutum frumenta populis vendebantur cumque adorassent eum fratres sui
7 Yosef saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but acted like a stranger to them, and spoke roughly with them. He said to them, "Where did you come from?" They said, "From the land of Kana`an to buy food."
7
et agnovisset eos quasi ad alienos durius loquebatur interrogans eos unde venistis qui responderunt de terra Chanaan ut emamus victui necessaria
8 Yosef recognized his brothers, but they didn't recognize him.
8
et tamen fratres ipse cognoscens non est agnitus ab eis
9 Yosef remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land."
9
recordatusque somniorum quae aliquando viderat ait exploratores estis ut videatis infirmiora terrae venistis
10 They said to him, "No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.
10
qui dixerunt non est ita domine sed servi tui venerunt ut emerent cibos
11 We are all one man's sons; we are honest men. Your servants are not spies."
11
omnes filii unius viri sumus pacifici venimus nec quicquam famuli tui machinantur mali
12 He said to them, "No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land."
12
quibus ille respondit aliter est inmunita terrae huius considerare venistis
13 They said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Kana`an; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more."
13
et illi duodecim inquiunt servi tui fratres sumus filii viri unius in terra Chanaan minimus cum patre nostro est alius non est super
14 Yosef said to them, "It is like I told you, saying, 'You are spies.'
14
hoc est ait quod locutus sum exploratores estis
15 Hereby you shall be tested. By the life of Par`oh you shall not go forth from here, unless your youngest brother come here.
15
iam nunc experimentum vestri capiam per salutem Pharaonis non egrediemini hinc donec veniat frater vester minimus
16 Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you shall be bound, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you, or else by the life of Par`oh surely you are spies."
16
mittite e vobis unum et adducat eum vos autem eritis in vinculis donec probentur quae dixistis utrum falsa an vera sint alioquin per salutem Pharaonis exploratores estis
17 He put them all together into custody three days.
17
tradidit ergo eos custodiae tribus diebus
18 Yosef said to them the third day, "Do this, and live, for I fear God.
18
die autem tertio eductis de carcere ait facite quod dixi et vivetis Deum enim timeo
19 If you are honest men, then let one of your brothers be bound in your prison-house; but you go, carry grain for the famine of your houses.
19
si pacifici estis frater vester unus ligetur in carcere vos autem abite et ferte frumenta quae emistis in domos vestras
20 Bring your youngest brother to me; so will your words be verified, and you won't die." They did so.
20
et fratrem vestrum minimum ad me adducite ut possim vestros probare sermones et non moriamini fecerunt ut dixerat
21 They said one to another, "We are most assuredly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us, and we wouldn't listen. Therefore this distress has come on us."
21
et locuti sunt invicem merito haec patimur quia peccavimus in fratrem nostrum videntes angustiam animae illius cum deprecaretur nos et non audivimus idcirco venit super nos ista tribulatio
22 Re'uven answered them, saying, "Didn't I tell you, saying, 'Don't sin against the child,' and you wouldn't listen? Therefore also, behold, his blood is required."
22
e quibus unus Ruben ait numquid non dixi vobis nolite peccare in puerum et non audistis me en sanguis eius exquiritur
23 They didn't know that Yosef understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.
23
nesciebant autem quod intellegeret Ioseph eo quod per interpretem loquebatur ad eos
24 He turned himself about from them, and wept, and he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Shim`on from among them, and bound him before their eyes.
24
avertitque se parumper et flevit et reversus locutus est ad eos
25 Then Yosef commanded to fill their vessels with grain, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provisions for the way. Thus was it done to them.
25
tollens Symeon et ligans illis praesentibus iussitque ministris ut implerent saccos eorum tritico et reponerent pecunias singulorum in sacculis suis datis supra cibariis in via qui fecerunt ita
26 They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.
26
at illi portantes frumenta in asinis profecti sunt
27 As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food in the lodging-place, he saw his money. Behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
27
apertoque unus sacco ut daret iumento pabulum in diversorio contemplatus pecuniam in ore sacculi
28 He said to his brothers, "My money is restored! Behold, it is even in my sack." Their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling one to another, saying, "What is this that God has done to us?"
28
dixit fratribus suis reddita est mihi pecunia en habetur in sacco et obstupefacti turbatique dixerunt mutuo quidnam est hoc quod fecit nobis Deus
29 They came to Ya`akov their father to the land of Kana`an, and told him all that had befallen them, saying,
29
veneruntque ad Iacob patrem suum in terra Chanaan et narraverunt ei omnia quae accidissent sibi dicentes
30 "The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country.
30
locutus est nobis dominus terrae dure et putavit nos exploratores provinciae
31 We said to him, 'We are honest men. We are no spies.
31
cui respondimus pacifici sumus nec ullas molimur insidias
32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Kana`an.'
32
duodecim fratres uno patre geniti sumus unus non est super minimus cum patre versatur in terra Chanaan
33 The man, the lord of the land, said to us, 'Hereby will I know that you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your houses, and go your way.
33
qui ait nobis sic probabo quod pacifici sitis fratrem vestrum unum dimittite apud me et cibaria domibus vestris necessaria sumite et abite
34 Bring your youngest brother to me. Then will I know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So will I deliver you your brother, and you shall trade in the land.'"
34
fratremque vestrum minimum adducite ad me ut sciam quod non sitis exploratores et istum qui tenetur in vinculis recipere possitis ac deinceps emendi quae vultis habeatis licentiam
35 It happened as they emptied their sacks, that behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid.
35
his dictis cum frumenta effunderent singuli reppererunt in ore saccorum ligatas pecunias exterritisque simul omnibus
36 Ya`akov, their father, said to them, "You have bereaved me of my children! Yosef is no more, Shim`on is no more, and you want to take Binyamin away. All these things are against me."
36
dixit pater Iacob absque liberis me esse fecistis Ioseph non est super Symeon tenetur in vinculis Beniamin auferetis in me haec mala omnia reciderunt
37 Re'uven spoke to his father, saying, "Kill my two sons, if I don't bring him to you. Deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to you again."
37
cui respondit Ruben duos filios meos interfice si non reduxero illum tibi trade in manu mea et ego eum restituam
38 He said, "My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm befall him by the way in which you go, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to She'ol."
38
at ille non descendet inquit filius meus vobiscum frater eius mortuus est ipse solus remansit si quid ei adversi acciderit in terra ad quam pergitis deducetis canos meos cum dolore ad inferos
