10 And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words; he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and ye shall be blameless.

10 “Very well, then,” he said, “let it be as you say. Whoever is found to have it will become my slave; the rest of you will be free from blame.”

11 Then they made haste, and each one took his sack down to the ground, and each one opened his sack.

11 Each of them quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it.

12 And he searched and began at the eldest and finished at the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

12 Then the steward proceeded to search, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

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

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

14 Joseph was still in the house when Judah and his brothers came in, and they threw themselves to the ground before him.

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

15 Joseph said to them, “What is this you have done? Don’t you know that a man like me can find things out by divination?”

16 Then Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? What shall we speak or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of thy slaves; behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we and he also with whom the cup is found.

16 “What can we say to my lord?” Judah replied. “What can we say? How can we prove our innocence? God has uncovered your servants’ guilt. We are now my lord’s slaves—we ourselves and the one who was found to have the cup.”

17 And he said, in no wise should I do so; but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my slave; and as for you, go up in peace unto your father.

17 But Joseph said, “Far be it from me to do such a thing! Only the man who was found to have the cup will become my slave. The rest of you, go back to your father in peace.”

18 Then Judah came near unto him and said, Oh my lord, let thy slave, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy slave; for thou art even as Pharaoh.

18 Then Judah went up to him and said: “Pardon your servant, my lord, let me speak a word to my lord. Do not be angry with your servant, though you are equal to Pharaoh himself.

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

19 My lord asked his servants, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’

20 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a young man of his old age, yet a lad; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him.

20 And we answered, ‘We have an aged father, and there is a young son born to him in his old age. His brother is dead, and he is the only one of his mother’s sons left, and his father loves him.’
