Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1And Joseph commanded the steward of his house, saying: Fill their sacks with corn, as much as they can hold: and put the money of every one in the top of his sack.
1约瑟 吩咐家宰说：「把粮食装满这些人的口袋，尽着他们的驴所能驮的，又把各人的银子放在各人的口袋里，
2And in the mouth of the younger’s sack put my silver cup, and the price which he gave for the wheat. And it was so done.
2并将我的银杯和那少年人籴粮的银子一同装在他的口袋里。」家宰就照 约瑟 所说的话行了；
3And when the morning arose, they were sent away with their asses.
3天一亮就打发那些人带着驴走了。
4And when they were now departed out of the city, and had gone forward a little way; Joseph sending for the steward of his house, said: Arise, and pursue after the men: and when thou hast overtaken them, say to them: Why have you returned evil for good?
4他们出城走了不远， 约瑟 对家宰说：「起来，追那些人去，追上了就对他们说：『你们为什么以恶报善呢？
5The cup which you have stolen is that in which my lord drinketh, and in which he is wont to divine: you have done a very evil thing.
5这不是我主人饮酒的杯吗？岂不是他占卜用的吗？你们这样行是作恶了。』」
6He did as he had commanded him. And having overtaken them, he spoke to them the same words.
6家宰追上他们，将这些话对他们说了。
7And they answered: Why doth our lord speak so, as though thy servants had committed so heinous a fact?
7他们回答说：「我主为什么说这样的话呢？你仆人断不能做这样的事。
8The money, that we found in the top of our sacks, we brought back to thee from the land of Chanaan: how then should it be that we should steal out of thy lord’s house, gold or silver?
8你看，我们从前在口袋里所见的银子，尚且从 迦南 地带来还你，我们怎能从你主人家里偷窃金银呢？
9With whomsoever of thy servants shall be found that which thou seekest, let him die, and we will be the bondmen of my lord.
9你仆人中无论在谁那里搜出来，就叫他死，我们也作我主的奴仆。」
10And he said to them: Let it be according to your sentence: with whomsoever it shall be found, let him be my servant, and you shall be blameless.
10家宰说：「现在就照你们的话行吧！在谁那里搜出来，谁就作我的奴仆；其余的都没有罪。」
11Then they speedily took down their sacks to the ground, and every man opened his sack.
11于是他们各人急忙把口袋卸在地上，各人打开口袋。
12Which when he had searched, beginning at the eldest and ending at the youngest, he found the cup in Benjamin’s sack.
12家宰就搜查，从年长的起到年幼的为止，那杯竟在 便雅悯 的口袋里搜出来。
13Then they rent their garments, and loading their asses again, returned into the town.
13他们就撕裂衣服，各人把驮子抬在驴上，回城去了。
14And Juda at the head of his brethren went in to Joseph, (for he was not yet gone out of the place), and they altogether fell down before him on the ground.
14犹大 和他弟兄们来到 约瑟 的屋中， 约瑟 还在那里，他们就在他面前俯伏于地。
15And he said to them: Why would you do so? know you not that there is no one like me in the science of divining.
15约瑟 对他们说：「你们做的是什么事呢？你们岂不知像我这样的人必能占卜吗？」
16And Juda said to him: What shall we answer my lord? or what shall we say, or be able justly to allege? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are all bondmen to my lord, both we, and he with whom the cup was found.
16犹大 说：「我们对我主说什么呢？还有什么话可说呢？我们怎能自己表白出来呢？ 神已经查出仆人的罪孽了。我们与那在他手中搜出杯来的都是我主的奴仆。」
17Joseph answered: God forbid that I should do so: he that stole the cup, he shall be my bondman: and go you away free to your father.
17约瑟 说：「我断不能这样行！在谁的手中搜出杯来，谁就作我的奴仆；至于你们，可以平平安安地上你们父亲那里去。」
18Then Juda coming nearer, said boldly: I beseech thee, my lord, let thy servant speak a word in thy ears, and be not angry with thy servant: for after Pharao thou art,
18犹大 挨近他，说：「我主啊，求你容仆人说一句话给我主听，不要向仆人发烈怒，因为你如同法老一样。
19My lord. Thou didst ask thy servants the first time: Have you a father or a brother?
19我主曾问仆人们说：『你们有父亲有兄弟没有？』
20And we answered thee, my lord: We have a father an old man, and a young boy, that was born in his old age; whose brother by the mother is dead: and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him tenderly.
20我们对我主说：『我们有父亲，已经年老，还有他老年所生的一个小孩子。他哥哥死了，他母亲只撇下他一人，他父亲疼爱他。』
21And thou saidst to thy servants: Bring him hither to me, and I will set my eyes on him.
21你对仆人说：『把他带到我这里来，叫我亲眼看看他。』
22We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die.
22我们对我主说：『童子不能离开他父亲，若是离开，他父亲必死。』
23And thou saidst to thy servants: Except your youngest brother come with you, you shall see my face no more.
23你对仆人说：『你们的小兄弟若不与你们一同下来，你们就不得再见我的面。』
24Therefore when we were gone up to thy servant our father, we told him all that my lord had said.
24我们上到你仆人—我们父亲那里，就把我主的话告诉了他。
25And our father said: Go again, and buy us a little wheat.
25我们的父亲说：『你们再去给我籴些粮来。』
26And we said to him: We cannot go: if our youngest brother go down with us, we will set out together: otherwise, without him we dare not see the man’s face.
26我们就说：『我们不能下去。我们的小兄弟若和我们同往，我们就可以下去。因为，小兄弟若不与我们同往，我们必不得见那人的面。』
27Whereunto he answered: You know that my wife bore me two.
27你仆人—我父亲对我们说：『你们知道我的妻子给我生了两个儿子。
28One went out, and you said: A beast devoured him: and hitherto he appeareth not.
28一个离开我出去了；我说他必是被撕碎了，直到如今我也没有见他。
29If you take this also, and any thing befall him in the way you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow unto hell.
29现在你们又要把这个带去离开我，倘若他遭害，那便是你们使我白发苍苍、悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。』
30Therefore if I shall go to thy servant our father, and the boy be wanting, (whereas his life dependeth upon the life of him,)
30我父亲的命与这童子的命相连。如今我回到你仆人—我父亲那里，若没有童子与我们同在，
31And he shall see that he is not with us, he will die, and thy servants shall bring down his gray hairs with sorrow unto hell.
31我们的父亲见没有童子，他就必死。这便是我们使你仆人—我们的父亲白发苍苍、悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。
32Let me be thy proper servant, who took him into my trust, and promised, saying: If I bring him not again, I will be guilty of sin against my father for ever.
32因为仆人曾向我父亲为这童子作保，说：『我若不带他回来交给父亲，我便在父亲面前永远担罪。』
33Therefore I thy servant will stay instead of the boy in the service of my lord, and let the boy go up with his brethren.
33现在求你容仆人住下，替这童子作我主的奴仆，叫童子和他哥哥们一同上去。
34For I cannot return to my father without the boy, lest I be a witness of the calamity that will oppress my father.
34若童子不和我同去，我怎能上去见我父亲呢？恐怕我看见灾祸临到我父亲身上。」
