Genesis



The first book of Moses, called Genesis, chapter 44, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 44

Vulgate


   1 Praecepit autem Ioseph dispensatori domus suae dicens: "Imple saccos eorum frumento, quantum possunt capere, et pone pecuniam singulorum in summitate sacci.
   2 Scyphum autem meum argenteum et pretium, quod dedit tritici, pone in ore sacci iunioris" Factumque est ita.
   3 Et, orto mane, dimissi sunt cum asinis suis.
   4 Iamque urbem exierant et processerant paululum, tunc Ioseph, arcessito dispensatore domus: "Surge, inquit, et persequere viros; et apprehensis dicito: "Quare reddidistis malum pro bono? Cur furati estis mihi scyphum argenteum?
   5 Nonne ipse est, in quo bibit dominus meus et in quo augurari solet? Pessimam rem fecistis!""
   6 Fecit ille, ut iusserat, et apprehensis per ordinem locutus est.
   7 Qui responderunt: "Quare sic loquitur dominus noster? Absit a servis tuis, ut tantum flagitii commiserimus.
   8 Pecuniam, quam invenimus in summitate saccorum, reportavimus ad te de terra Chanaan; et quomodo consequens est, ut furati simus de domo domini tui aurum vel argentum?
   9 Apud quemcumque fuerit inventum servorum tuorum, quod quaeris, moriatur; et nos erimus servi domini nostri"
   10 Qui dixit eis: "Fiat iuxta vestram sententiam: apud quemcumque fuerit inventum, ipse sit servus meus; vos autem eritis innoxii"
   11 Itaque festinato deponentes in terram saccos aperuerunt singuli.
   12 Quos scrutatus incipiens a maiore usque ad minimum invenit scyphum in sacco Beniamin.
   13 At illi, scissis vestibus, oneratisque rursum asinis, reversi sunt in oppidum.
   14 Et Iudas cum fratribus ingressus est ad Ioseph necdum enim de loco abierat omnesque ante eum pariter in terram corruerunt.
   15 Quibus ille ait: "Cur sic agere voluistis? An ignoratis quod non sit similis mei in augurandi scientia?"
   16 Cui Iudas: "Quid respondebimus, inquit, domino meo? Vel quid loquemur aut iuste poterimus obtendere? Deus invenit iniquitatem servorum tuorum; en omnes servi sumus domini mei, et nos et apud quem inventus est scyphus"
   17 Respondit Ioseph: "Absit a me, ut sic agam! Qui furatus est scyphum, ipse sit servus meus; vos autem abite liberi ad patrem vestrum"
   18 Accedens autem propius Iudas confidenter ait: "Oro, domine mi, loquatur servus tuus verbum in auribus tuis, et ne irascaris famulo tuo; tu es enim sicut pharao!
   19 Dominus meus interrogavit prius servos suos: "Habetis patrem aut fratrem?".
   20 Et nos respondimus domino meo: "Est nobis pater senex et puer parvulus, qui in senectute illius natus est, cuius uterinus frater mortuus est; et ipse solus superest a matre sua, pater vero tenere diligit eum""
   21 Dixistique servis tuis: "Adducite eum ad me, et ponam oculos meos super illum".
   22 Suggessimus domino meo: "Non potest puer relinquere patrem suum; si enim illum dimiserit, morietur".
   23 Et dixisti servis tuis: "Nisi venerit frater vester minimus vobiscum, non videbitis amplius faciem meam".
   24 Cum ergo ascendissemus ad famulum tuum patrem nostrum, narravimus ei omnia, quae locutus est dominus meus,
   25 et dixit pater noster: "Revertimini et emite nobis parum tritici".
   26 Cui diximus: "Ire non possumus. Si frater noster minimus descenderit nobiscum, proficiscemur simul; alioquin, illo absente, non poterimus videre faciem viri".
   27 Ad quae servus tuus pater meus respondit: "Vos scitis quod duos genuerit mihi uxor mea.
   28 Egressus est unus a me, et dixi: Bestia devoravit eum! Et hucusque non comparet.
   29 Si tuleritis et istum a facie mea, et aliquid ei in via contigerit, deducetis canos meos cum maerore ad inferos".
   30 Igitur, si intravero ad servum tuum patrem meum, et puer defuerit cum anima illius ex huius anima pendeat
   31 videritque eum non esse nobiscum, morietur; et deducent famuli tui canos eius cum dolore ad inferos.
   32 Servus tuus pro puero patri meo spopondit: Nisi reduxero eum, peccati reus ero in patrem meum omni tempore.
   33 Manebo itaque servus tuus pro puero in ministerio domini mei, et puer ascendat cum fratribus suis.
   34 Non enim possum redire ad patrem meum, absente puero, ne calamitatis, quae oppressura est patrem meum, testis assistam"

King James Version


   1 And 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.
   2 And 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.
   3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
   4 And 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?
   5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
   6 ¶ And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
   7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
   8 Behold, 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?
   9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
   10 And 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.
   11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
   12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
   13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
   14 ¶ And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
   15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
   16 And 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.
   17 And 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.
   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.
   19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
   20 And 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.
   21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
   22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
   23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
   24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
   25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
   26 And 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.
   27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
   28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
   29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
   30 Now 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;
   31 It 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.
   32 For 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.
   33 Now 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.
   34 For 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.
