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 e upon us。
42：22流便说，我岂不是对你们说过，不可伤害那孩子吗。只是你们不肯听，所以流他血的罪向我们追讨。
And 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。
42：23他们不知道约瑟听得出来，因为在他们中间用通事传话。
And they knew not that Joseph understood them； for he spake unto them by an interpreter。
42：24约瑟转身退去，哭了一场，又回来对他们说话，就从他们中间挑出西缅来，在他们眼前把他捆绑。
And he turned himself about from them； and wept； and returned to them again； and muned with them； and took from them Simeon； and bound him before their eyes。
42：25约瑟吩咐人把粮食装满他们的器具，把各人的银子归还在各人的口袋里，又给他们路上用的食物，人就照他的话办了。
Then Joseph manded 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。
42：26他们就把粮食驮在驴上，离开那里去了。
And they laded their asses with the corn； and departed thence。
42：27到了住宿的地方，他们中间有一个人打开口袋，要拿料喂驴，才看见自己的银子仍在口袋里，
And 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。
42：28就对弟兄们说，我的银子归还了，看阿，仍在我口袋里。他们就提心吊胆，战战兢兢地彼此说，这是神向我们作什么呢，
And 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？
42：29他们来到迦南地，他们的父亲雅各那里，将所遭遇的事都告诉他，说，
And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan； and told him all that befell unto them； saying；
42：30那地的主对我们说严厉的话，把我们当作窥探那地的奸细。
The man； who is the lord of the land； spake roughly to us； and took us for spies of the country。
42：31我们对他说，我们是诚实人，并不是奸细。
And we said unto him； We are true men； we are no spies：
42：32我们本是弟兄十二人，都是一个父亲的儿子，有一个没有了，顶小的如今同我们的父亲在迦南地。
We be twelve brethren； sons of our father； one is not； and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan。
42：33那地的主对我们说，若要我知道你们是诚实人，可以留下你们中间的一个人在我这里，你们可以带着粮食回去，救你们家里的饥荒。
And 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：
42：34把你们的小兄弟带到我这里来，我便知道你们不是奸细，乃是诚实人。这样，我就把你们的弟兄交给你们，你们也可以在这地作买卖。
And 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。
42：35后来他们倒口袋，不料，各人的银包都在口袋里。他们和父亲看见银包就都害怕。
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。
42：36他们的父亲雅各对他们说，你们使我丧失我的儿子，约瑟没有了，西缅也没有了，你们又要将便雅悯带去。这些事都归到我身上了。
And 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。
42：37流便对他父亲说，我若不带他回来交给你，你可以杀我的两个儿子。只管把他交在我手里，我必带他回来交给你。
And 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。
42：38雅各说，我的儿子不可与你们一同下去。他哥哥死了，只剩下他，他若在你们所行的路上遭害，那便是你们使我白发苍苍，悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。
And 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。
旧约 创世记（Genesis） 第 43 章 （ 本篇共有 50 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
43：1那地的饥荒甚大。
And the famine was sore in the land。
43：2他们从埃及带来的粮食吃尽了，他们的父亲就对他们说，你们再去给我籴些粮来。
And it came to pass； when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt； their father said unto them； Go again； buy us a little food。
43：3犹大对他说，那人谆谆地告诫我们说，你们的兄弟若不与你们同来，你们就不得见我的面。
And Judah spake unto him； saying； The man did solemnly protest unto us； saying； Ye shall not see my face； except your brother be with you。
43：4你若打发我们的兄弟与我们同去，我们就下去给你籴粮。
If thou wilt send our brother with us； we will go down and buy thee food：
43：5你若不打发他去，我们就不下去，因为那人对我们说，你们的兄弟若不与你们同来，你们就不得见我的面。
But if thou wilt not send him； we will not go down： for the man said unto us； Ye shall not see my face； except your brother be with you。
43：6以色列说，你们为什么这样害我，告诉那人你们还有兄弟呢，
And Israel said； Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me； as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother？
43：7他们回答说，那人详细问到我们和我们的亲属，说，你们的父亲还在吗。你们还有兄弟吗。我们就按着他所问的告诉他，焉能知道他要说，必须把你们的兄弟带下来呢。
And they said； The man asked us straitly of our state； and of our kindred； saying； Is your father yet alive？ have ye another brother？ and we told him according to the tenor of these words： could we certainly know that he would say； Bring your brother down？
43：8犹大又对他父亲以色列说，你打发童子与我同去，我们就起身下去，好叫我们和你，并我们的妇人孩子，都得存活，不至于死。
And Judah said unto Israel his father； Send the lad with me； and we will arise and go； that we may live； and not die； both we； and thou； and also our little ones。
43：9我为他作保。你可以从我手中追讨，我若不带他回来交在你面前，我情愿永远担罪。
I will be surety for him； of my hand shalt thou require him： if I bring him not unto thee； and set him before thee； then let me bear the blame for ever：
43：10我们若没有耽搁，如今第二次都回来了。
For except we had lingered； surely now we had returned this second time。
43：11他们的父亲以色列说，若必须如此，你们就当这样行，可以将这地土产中最好的乳香，蜂蜜，香料，没药，榧子，杏仁都取一点，收在器具里，带下去送给那人作礼物，
And their father Israel said unto them； If it must be so now； do this； take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels； and carry down the man a present； a little balm； and a little honey； spices； and myrrh； nuts； and almonds：
43：12又要手里加倍地带银子，并将归还在你们口袋内的银子仍带在手里。那或者是错了。
And take double money in your hand； and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks； carry it again in your hand； peradventure it was an oversight：
43：13也带着你们的兄弟，起身去见那人。
Take also your brother； and arise； go again unto the man：
43：14但愿全能的神使你们在那人面前蒙怜悯，释放你们的那弟兄和便雅悯回来。我若丧了儿子，就丧了吧。
And God Almighty give you mercy before the man； that he may send away your other brother； and Benjamin。 If I be bereaved of my children； I am bereaved。
43：15于是，他们拿着那礼物，又手里加倍地带银子，并且带着便雅悯，起身下到埃及，站在约瑟面前。
And the men took that present； and they took double money in their hand； and Benjamin； and rose up； and went down to Egypt； and stood before Joseph。
43：16约瑟见便雅悯和他们同来，就对家宰说，将这些人领到屋里。要宰杀牲畜，预备筵席，因为晌午这些人同我吃饭。
And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them； he said to the ruler of his house； Bring these men home； and slay； and make ready； for these men shall dine with me at noon。
43：17家宰就遵着约瑟的命去行，领他们进约瑟的屋里。
And the man did as Joseph bade； and the man brought the men into Joseph's house。
43：18他们因为被领到约瑟的屋里，就害怕，说，领我们到这里来，必是因为头次归还在我们口袋里的银子，找我们的错缝，下手害我们，强取我们为奴仆，抢夺我们的驴。
And the men were afraid； because they were brought into Joseph's house； and they said； Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in； that he may seek occasion against us； and fall upon us； and take us for bondmen； and our asses。
43：19他们就挨进约瑟的家宰，在屋门口和他说话，
And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house； and they muned with him at the door of the house；
43：20说，我主阿，我们头次下来实在是要籴粮。
And said； O sir； we came indeed down at the first time to buy food：
43：21后来到了住宿的地方，我们打开口袋，不料，各人的银子，分量足数，仍在各人的口袋内，现在我们手里又带回来了。
And it came to pass； when we came to the inn； that we opened our sacks； and； behold； every man's money was in the mouth of his sack； our money in full weight： and we have brought it again in our hand。
43：22另外又带下银子来籴粮。不知道先前谁把银子放在我们的口袋里。
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food： we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks。
43：23家宰说，你们可以放心，不要害怕，是你们的神和你们父亲的神赐给你们财宝在你们的口袋里。你们的�
