King James Version with Apocrypha
1Καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ Ἰωσὴφ τῷ ὄντι ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ, λέγων, πλήσατε τοὺς μαρσίππους τῶν ἀνθρώπων βρωμάτων, ὅσα ἐὰν δύνωνται ἆραι· καὶ ἐμβάλετε ἑκάστου τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ μαρσίππου.
1And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
2Καὶ τὸ κόνδυ μου τὸ ἀργυροῦν ἐμβάλετε εἰς τὸν μάρσιππον τοῦ νεωτέρου, καὶ τὴν τιμὴν τοῦ σίτου αὐτοῦ· ἐγενήθη δὲ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Ἰωσὴφ, καθὼς εἶπε.
2And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
3Τὸ πρωῒ διέφαυσε· καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι ἀπεστάλησαν, αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ ὄνοι αὐτῶν.
3As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
4Ἐξελθόντων δὲ αὐτῶν τὴν πόλιν, οὐκ ἀπέσχον μακράν· καὶ Ἰωσὴφ εἶπε τῷ ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ, ἀναστὰς ἐπιδίωξον ὀπίσω τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ καταλήμψῃ αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς τί ὅτι ἀνταπεδώκατε πονηρὰ ἀντὶ καλῶν;
4And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
5Ἱνατί ἐκλέψατέ μου τὸ κόνδυ τὸ ἀργυροῦν; οὐ τοῦτό ἐστιν, ἐν ᾧ πίνει ὁ κύριός μου; αὐτὸς δὲ οἰωνισμῷ οἰωνίζεται ἐν αὐτῷ. πονηρὰ συντετελέκατε ἃ πεποιήκατε.
5Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
6Εὑρὼν δὲ αὐτοὺς, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα.
6¶ And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
7Οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, ἱνατί λαλεῖ ὁ κύριος κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα; μὴ γένοιτο τοῖς παισίν σου ποιῆσαι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο.
7And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
8Εἰ τὸ μὲν ἀργύριον, ὃ εὕρομεν ἐν τοῖς μαρσίπποις ἡμῶν, ἀπεστρέψαμεν πρὸς σὲ ἐκ γῆς Χαναὰν, πῶς ἂν κλέψαιμεν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ κυρίου σου ἀργύριον ἢ χρυσίον;
8Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?
9Παρʼ ᾧ ἂν εὕρῃς τὸ κόνδυ τῶν παιδων σου, ἀποθνησκέτω· καὶ ἡμεῖς δὲ ἐσόμεθα παῖδες τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.
9With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen.
10Ὁ δὲ εἶπε, καὶ νῦν, ὡς λέγετε, οὕτως ἔσται· παρʼ ᾧ ἂν εὑρεθῇ τὸ κόνδυ, ἔσται μου παῖς ὑμεῖς δὲ ἔσεσθε καθαροί.
10And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
11Καὶ ἔσπευσαν, καὶ καθεῖλαν ἕκαστος τὸν μάρσιππον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν· καὶ ἤνοιξαν ἕκαστος τὸν μάρσιππον αὐτοῦ.
11Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
12Ἠρεύνησε δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου ἀρξάμενος, ἕως ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν νεώτερον. καὶ εὗρε τὸ κόνδυ ἐν τῷ μαρσίππῳ τοῦ Βενιαμίν.
12And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
13Καὶ διέῤῥηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἕκαστος τὸν μαρσίππον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ὄνον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν.
13Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
14Εἰσῆλθε δὲ Ἰούδας καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ πρὸς Ἰωσὴφ ἔτι αὐτοῦ ὄντος ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἔπεσον ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
14¶ And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
15Εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἰωσὴφ, τί τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτο ἐποιήσατε; οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι οἰωνισμῷ οἰωνιεῖται ὁ ἄνθρωπος, οἷος ἐγώ;
15And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
16Εἶπε δὲ Ἰούδας, τί ἀντεροῦμεν τῷ κυρίῳ, ἢ τί λαλήσομεν, ἢ τί δικαιωθῶμεν; ὁ Θεὸς δὲ εὗρε τὴν ἀδικίαν τῶν παίδων σου· ἰδού ἐσμεν οἰκέται τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν, καὶ ἡμεῖς, καὶ παρʼ ᾧ εὑρέθη τὸ κόνδυ.
16And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
17Εἶπε δὲ Ἰωσὴφ, μή μοι γένοιτο ποιῆσαι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο· ὁ ἄνθρωπος παρʼ ᾧ εὑρέθη τὸ κόνδυ, αὐτὸς ἔσται μου παῖς· ὑμεῖς δὲ ἀνάβητε μετὰ σωτηρίας πρὸς τὸν πατέρα ὑμῶν.
17And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
18Ἐγγίσας δὲ αὐτῷ Ἰούδας εἶπε, δέομαι, κύριε· λαλησάτω ὁ παῖς σου ῥῆμα ἐναντίον σου, καὶ μὴ θυμωθῇς τῷ παιδί σου, ὅτι σὺ εἶ μετὰ Φαραώ.
18¶ Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
19Κύριε, σὺ ἠρώτησας τοὺς παῖδάς σου, λέγων, εἰ ἔχετε πατέρα ἢ ἀδελφόν.
19My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
20Καὶ εἴπαμεν τῷ κυρίῳ, ἔστιν ἡμῖν πατὴρ πρεσβύτερος, καὶ παιδίον γήρως νεώτερον αὐτῷ, καὶ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἀπέθανεν, αὐτὸς δὲ μόνος ὑπελείφθη τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ, ὁ δὲ πατὴρ αὐτὸν ἠγάπησεν·
20And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
21Εἶπας δὲ τοῖς παισί σου, καταγάγετε αὐτὸν πρὸς μέ, καὶ ἐπιμελοῦμαι αὐτοῦ.
21And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
22Καὶ εἴπαμεν τῷ κυρίῳ, οὐ δυνήσεται τὸ παιδίον καταλιπεῖν τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ· ἐὰν δὲ καταλείπῃ τὸν πατέρα, ἀποθανεῖται.
22And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
23Σὺ δὲ εἶπας τοῖς παισί σου, ἐὰν μὴ καταβῇ ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν ὁ νεώτερος μεθʼ ὑμῶν, οὐ προσθήσεσθε ἰδεῖν τὸ πρόσωπόν μου.
23And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
24Ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἀνέβημεν πρὸς τὸν παῖδά σου πατέρα ἡμῶν, ἀπηγγείλαμεν αὐτῷ τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν.
24And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25Εἶπε δὲ ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν, βαδίσατε πάλιν καὶ ἀγοράσατε ἡμῖν μικρὰ βρώματα.
25And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
26Ἡμεῖς δὲ εἴπομεν, οὐ δυνησόμεθα καταβῆναι· ἀλλʼ εἰ μὲν ὁ ἀδελφὸς ἡμῶν ὁ νεώτερος καταβαίνει μεθʼ ἡμῶν, καταβησόμεθα· οὐ γὰρ δυνησόμεθα ἰδεῖν τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ ἡμῶν τοῦ νεωτέρου μὴ ὄντος μεθʼ ἡμῶν.
26And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother be with us.
27Εἶπε δὲ ὁ παῖς σου πατὴρ ἡμῶν πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ὑμεῖς γινώσκετε ὅτι δύο ἔτεκέ μοι ἡ γυνὴ,
27And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
28καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ εἷς ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ· καὶ εἴπατε ὅτι θηριόβρωτος γέγονεν, καὶ οὐκ ἴδον αὐτὸν ἄχρι νῦν.
28And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
29Ἐὰν οὖν λάβητε καὶ τοῦτον ἐκ τοῦ προσώπου μου, καὶ συμβῇ αὐτῷ μαλακία ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ κατάξετέ μου τὸ γῆρας μετὰ λύπης εἰς ᾅδου.
29And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
30Νῦν οὖν ἐὰν εἰσπορεύωμαι πρὸς τὸν παῖδά σου, πατέρα δὲ ἡμῶν, καὶ τὸ παιδίον μὴ ᾖ μεθʼ ἡμῶν, ἡ δὲ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐκκρέμαται ἐκ τῆς τούτου ψυχῆς,
30Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;
31καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν μὴ ὂν τὸ παιδίον μεθʼ ἡμῶν, τελευτήσει, καὶ κατάξουσιν οἱ παῖδές σου τὸ γῆρας τοῦ παιδός σου, πατρὸς δὲ ἡμῶν, μετὰ λύπης εἰς ᾅδου.
31It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us , that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
32Ὁ γὰρ παῖς σου παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἐκδέδεκται τὸ παιδίον, λέγων, ἐὰν μὴ ἀγάγω αὐτὸν πρὸς σὲ, καὶ στήσω αὐτὸν ἐνώπιόν σου, ἡμαρτηκὼς ἔσομαι εἰς τὸν πατέρα πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.
32For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
33Νῦν οὖν παραμενῶ σοι παῖς ἀντὶ τοῦ παιδίου, οἰκέτης τοῦ κυρίου· τὸ δὲ παιδίον ἀναβήτω μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ.
33Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
34Πῶς γὰρ ἀναβήσομαι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα, τοῦ παιδίου μὴ ὄντος μεθʼ ἡμῶν; ἵνα μὴ ἴδω τὰ κακὰ, ἃ εὑρήσει τὸν πατέρα μου.
34For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
