Genesis 44:27-34

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

27 Then thy slave my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bore me two <em>sons</em>;

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

29 and if ye take this one also from me and <em>some</em> disaster should befall him, ye shall bring my gray hairs with sorrow down to Sheol.

30 Now therefore when I come to thy slave my father, and the lad <em>is</em> not with us, seeing that his soul is bound up in the lad’s soul,

31 it shall come to pass when he sees that the lad <em>is</em> not <em>with us</em>, that he will die: and thy slaves shall bring the gray hairs of thy slave our father down with sorrow to Sheol.

32 For thy slave became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the sin before my father for ever.

33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy slave remain instead of the lad as a <em>bond</em> slave to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brethren.

34 For how shall I go up to my father and the lad not <em>be</em> with me? I cannot <em>go</em> lest I see the evil that shall come on my father.

New International Version NIV

27 “Your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.

28 One of them went away from me, and I said, “He has surely been torn to pieces.” And I have not seen him since.

29 If you take this one from me too and harm comes to him, you will bring my gray head down to the grave in misery.’

30 “So now, if the boy is not with us when I go back to your servant my father, and if my father, whose life is closely bound up with the boy’s life,

31 sees that the boy isn’t there, he will die. Your servants will bring the gray head of our father down to the grave in sorrow.

32 Your servant guaranteed the boy’s safety to my father. I said, ‘If I do not bring him back to you, I will bear the blame before you, my father, all my life!’

33 “Now then, please let your servant remain here as my lord’s slave in place of the boy, and let the boy return with his brothers.

34 How can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? No! Do not let me see the misery that would come on my father.”
