King James Version with Apocrypha
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
1雅各 見 埃及 有糧，就對兒子們說：「你們為甚麼彼此觀望呢？
2And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
2我聽見 埃及 有糧，你們可以下去，從那裏為我們糴些來，使我們可以存活，不至於死。」
3¶ And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
3於是， 約瑟 的十個哥哥都下 埃及 糴糧去了。
4But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
4但 約瑟 的兄弟 便雅憫 ， 雅各 沒有打發他和哥哥們同去，因為 雅各 說：「恐怕他遭害。」
5And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
5來糴糧的人中有 以色列 的兒子們，因為 迦南 地也有饑荒。
6And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
6當時治理 埃及 地的是 約瑟 ；糶糧給那地眾民的就是他。 約瑟 的哥哥們來了，臉伏於地，向他下拜。
7And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
7約瑟 看見他哥哥們，就認得他們，卻裝作生人，向他們說些嚴厲話，問他們說：「你們從哪裏來？」他們說：「我們從 迦南 地來糴糧。」
8And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
8約瑟 認得他哥哥們，他們卻不認得他。
9And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
9約瑟 想起從前所做的那兩個夢，就對他們說：「你們是奸細，來窺探這地的虛實。」
10And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
10他們對他說：「我主啊，不是的。僕人們是糴糧來的。
11We are all one man’s sons; we are true men , thy servants are no spies.
11我們都是一個人的兒子，是誠實人；僕人們並不是奸細。」
12And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
12約瑟 說：「不然，你們必是窺探這地的虛實來的。」
13And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
13他們說：「僕人們本是弟兄十二人，是 迦南 地一個人的兒子，頂小的現今在我們的父親那裏，有一個沒有了。」
14And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
14約瑟 說：「我才說你們是奸細，這話實在不錯。
15Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
15我指着法老的性命起誓，若是你們的小兄弟不到這裏來，你們就不得出這地方，從此就可以把你們證驗出來了。
16Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
16須要打發你們中間一個人去，把你們的兄弟帶來。至於你們，都要囚在這裏，好證驗你們的話真不真，若不真，我指着法老的性命起誓，你們一定是奸細。」
17And he put them all together into ward three days.
17於是 約瑟 把他們都下在監裏三天。
18And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
18到第三天， 約瑟 對他們說：「我是敬畏上帝的；你們照我的話行就可以存活。
19If ye be true men , let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
19你們如果是誠實人，可以留你們中間的一個人囚在監裏，但你們可以帶着糧食回去，救你們家裏的饑荒。
20But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
20把你們的小兄弟帶到我這裏來，如此，你們的話便有證據，你們也不至於死。」他們就照樣而行。
21¶ And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
21他們彼此說：「我們在兄弟身上實在有罪。他哀求我們的時候，我們見他心裏的愁苦，卻不肯聽，所以這場苦難臨到我們身上。」
22And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
22呂便 說：「我豈不是對你們說過，不可傷害那孩子嗎？只是你們不肯聽，所以流他血的罪向我們追討。」
23And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
23他們不知道 約瑟 聽得出來，因為在他們中間用通事傳話。
24And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
24約瑟 轉身退去，哭了一場，又回來對他們說話，就從他們中間挑出 西緬 來，在他們眼前把他捆綁。
25¶ Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
25約瑟 吩咐人把糧食裝滿他們的器具，把各人的銀子歸還在各人的口袋裏，又給他們路上用的食物，人就照他的話辦了。
26And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
26他們就把糧食馱在驢上，離開那裏去了。
27And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack’s mouth.
27到了住宿的地方，他們中間有一個人打開口袋，要拿料餵驢，才看見自己的銀子仍在口袋裏，
28And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them , and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
28就對弟兄們說：「我的銀子歸還了，看哪，仍在我口袋裏！」他們就提心吊膽，戰戰兢兢地彼此說：「這是上帝向我們做甚麼呢？」
29¶ And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
29他們來到 迦南 地、他們的父親 雅各 那裏，將所遭遇的事都告訴他，說：
30The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
30「那地的主對我們說嚴厲的話，把我們當作窺探那地的奸細。
31And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
31我們對他說：『我們是誠實人，並不是奸細。
32We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
32我們本是弟兄十二人，都是一個父親的兒子，有一個沒有了，頂小的如今同我們的父親在 迦南 地。』
33And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
33那地的主對我們說：『若要我知道你們是誠實人，可以留下你們中間的一個人在我這裏，你們可以帶着 糧食 回去，救你們家裏的饑荒。
34And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.
34把你們的小兄弟帶到我這裏來，我便知道你們不是奸細，乃是誠實人。這樣，我就把你們的弟兄交給你們，你們也可以在這地做買賣。』」
35¶ And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
35後來他們倒口袋，不料，各人的銀包都在口袋裏；他們和父親看見銀包就都害怕。
36And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
36他們的父親 雅各 對他們說：「你們使我喪失我的兒子： 約瑟 沒有了， 西緬 也沒有了，你們又要將 便雅憫 帶去；這些事都歸到我身上了。」
37And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
37呂便 對他父親說：「我若不帶他回來交給你，你可以殺我的兩個兒子。只管把他交在我手裏，我必帶他回來交給你。」
38And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
38雅各 說：「我的兒子不可與你們一同下去；他哥哥死了，只剩下他，他若在你們所行的路上遭害，那便是你們使我白髮蒼蒼、悲悲慘慘地下陰間去了。」
