Genesis 44

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 And 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 και ενετειλατο ιωσηφ τω οντι επι της οικιας αυτου λεγων πλησατε τους μαρσιππους των ανθρωπων βρωματων οσα εαν δυνωνται αραι και εμβαλατε εκαστου το αργυριον επι του στοματος του μαρσιππου
2 And 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 και το κονδυ μου το αργυρουν εμβαλατε εις τον μαρσιππον του νεωτερου και την τιμην του σιτου αυτου εγενηθη δε κατα το ρημα ιωσηφ καθως ειπεν
3 And when the morning arose, they were sent away with their asses.	3 το πρωι διεφαυσεν και οι ανθρωποι απεσταλησαν αυτοι και οι ονοι αυτων
4 And when they were now departed out of the city, and had gone forward a little way; Joseph sendingfor 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 εξελθοντων δε αυτων την πολιν ουκ απεσχον μακραν και ιωσηφ ειπεν τω επι της οικιας αυτου αναστας επιδιωξον οπισω των ανθρωπων και καταλημψη αυτους και ερεις αυτοις τι οτι ανταπεδωκατε πονηρα αντι καλων
5 The 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 ινα τι εκλεψατε μου το κονδυ το αργυρουν ου τουτο εστιν εν ω πινει ο κυριος μου αυτος δε οιωνισμω οιωνιζεται εν αυτω πονηρα συντετελεσθε α πεποιηκατε
6 He did as he had commanded him. And having overtaken them, he spoke to them the same words.	6 ευρων δε αυτους ειπεν αυτοις κατα τα ρηματα ταυτα
7 And they answered: Why doth our lord speak so, as though thy servants had committed so heinous a fact?	7 οι δε ειπον αυτω ινα τι λαλει ο κυριος κατα τα ρηματα ταυτα μη γενοιτο τοις παισιν σου ποιησαι κατα το ρημα τουτο
8 The 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 ει το μεν αργυριον ο ευρομεν εν τοις μαρσιπποις ημων απεστρεψαμεν προς σε εκ γης χανααν πως αν κλεψαιμεν εκ του οικου του κυριου σου αργυριον η χρυσιον
9 With whomsoever of thy servants shall be found that which thou seekest, let him die, and we will be the bondmen of my lord.	9 παρ' ω αν ευρεθη το κονδυ των παιδων σου αποθνησκετω και ημεις δε εσομεθα παιδες τω κυριω ημων
10 And 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 ο δε ειπεν και νυν ως λεγετε ουτως εσται ο ανθρωπος παρ' ω αν ευρεθη το κονδυ αυτος εσται μου παις υμεις δε εσεσθε καθαροι
11 Them they speedily took down their sacks to the ground, and every man opened his sack.	11 και εσπευσαν και καθειλαν εκαστος τον μαρσιππον αυτου επι την γην και ηνοιξαν εκαστος τον μαρσιππον αυτου
12 Which when he had searched, beginning at the eldest and ending at the youngest, he found the cup in Benjamin's sack.	12 ηρευνα δε απο του πρεσβυτερου αρξαμενος εως ηλθεν επι τον νεωτερον και ευρεν το κονδυ εν τω μαρσιππω τω βενιαμιν
13 Then they rent their garments, and loading their asses again, returned into the town.	13 και διερρηξαν τα ιματια αυτων και επεθηκαν εκαστος τον μαρσιππον αυτου επι τον ονον αυτου και επεστρεψαν εις την πολιν
14 And 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 εισηλθεν δε ιουδας και οι αδελφοι αυτου προς ιωσηφ ετι αυτου οντος εκει και επεσον εναντιον αυτου επι την γην
15 And 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 ειπεν δε αυτοις ιωσηφ τι το πραγμα τουτο ο εποιησατε ουκ οιδατε οτι οιωνισμω οιωνιειται ανθρωπος οιος εγω
16 And 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 ειπεν δε ιουδας τι αντερουμεν τω κυριω η τι λαλησωμεν η τι δικαιωθωμεν ο δε θεος ευρεν την αδικιαν των παιδων σου ιδου εσμεν οικεται τω κυριω ημων και ημεις και παρ' ω ευρεθη το κονδυ
17 Joseph answered: God forbid that should do so: he that stole the cup, he shall be my bondman: and go you away free to your father.	17 ειπεν δε ιωσηφ μη μοι γενοιτο ποιησαι το ρημα τουτο ο ανθρωπος παρ' ω ευρεθη το κονδυ αυτος εσται μου παις υμεις δε αναβητε μετα σωτηριας προς τον πατερα υμων
18 Then Juda coming hearer, 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 εγγισας δε αυτω ιουδας ειπεν δεομαι κυριε λαλησατω ο παις σου ρημα εναντιον σου και μη θυμωθης τω παιδι σου οτι συ ει μετα φαραω
19 My lord. Thou didst ask thy servants the first time: Have you a father or a brother?	19 κυριε συ ηρωτησας τους παιδας σου λεγων ει εχετε πατερα η αδελφον
20 And 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 και ειπαμεν τω κυριω εστιν ημιν πατηρ πρεσβυτερος και παιδιον γηρως νεωτερον αυτω και ο αδελφος αυτου απεθανεν αυτος δε μονος υπελειφθη τη μητρι αυτου ο δε πατηρ αυτον ηγαπησεν
21 And thou saidst to thy servants: Bring him hither to me, and I will set my eyes on him.	21 ειπας δε τοις παισιν σου καταγαγετε αυτον προς με και επιμελουμαι αυτου
22 We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die.	22 και ειπαμεν τω κυριω ου δυνησεται το παιδιον καταλιπειν τον πατερα εαν δε καταλιπη τον πατερα αποθανειται
23 And thou saidst to thy servants: Except your youngest brother come with you, you shall see my face no more.	23 συ δε ειπας τοις παισιν σου εαν μη καταβη ο αδελφος υμων ο νεωτερος μεθ' υμων ου προσθησεσθε ετι ιδειν το προσωπον μου
24 Therefore when we were gone up to thy servant our father, we told him all that my lord had said.	24 εγενετο δε ηνικα ανεβημεν προς τον παιδα σου πατερα δε ημων απηγγειλαμεν αυτω τα ρηματα του κυριου
25 And our father said: Go again, and buy us a little wheat.	25 ειπεν δε ημιν ο πατηρ ημων βαδισατε παλιν αγορασατε ημιν μικρα βρωματα
26 And 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 ημεις δε ειπαμεν ου δυνησομεθα καταβηναι αλλ' ει μεν ο αδελφος ημων ο νεωτερος καταβαινει μεθ' ημων καταβησομεθα ου γαρ δυνησομεθα ιδειν το προσωπον του ανθρωπου του αδελφου του νεωτερου μη οντος μεθ' ημων
27 Whereunto he answered: You know that my wife bore two.	27 ειπεν δε ο παις σου ο πατηρ ημων προς ημας υμεις γινωσκετε οτι δυο ετεκεν μοι η γυνη
28 One went out, and you said: A beast devoured him: and hitherto he appeareth not.	28 και εξηλθεν ο εις απ' εμου και ειπατε οτι θηριοβρωτος γεγονεν και ουκ ειδον αυτον ετι και νυν
29 If you take this also, and any thing befall him in the way you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow unto hell.	29 εαν ουν λαβητε και τουτον εκ προσωπου μου και συμβη αυτω μαλακια εν τη οδω και καταξετε μου το γηρας μετα λυπης εις αδου
30 Therefore if I shall go to thy servant our father, and the boy be wanting, (whereas his life dependeth upon the life of him,)	30 νυν ουν εαν εισπορευωμαι προς τον παιδα σου πατερα δε ημων και το παιδαριον μη η μεθ' ημων η δε ψυχη αυτου εκκρεμαται εκ της τουτου ψυχης
31 And 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 και εσται εν τω ιδειν αυτον μη ον το παιδαριον μεθ' ημων τελευτησει και καταξουσιν οι παιδες σου το γηρας του παιδος σου πατρος δε ημων μετ' οδυνης εις αδου
32 Let me be tht 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 ο γαρ παις σου εκδεδεκται το παιδιον παρα του πατρος λεγων εαν μη αγαγω αυτον προς σε και στησω αυτον εναντιον σου ημαρτηκως εσομαι προς τον πατερα πασας τας ημερας
33 Therefore 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 νυν ουν παραμενω σοι παις αντι του παιδιου οικετης του κυριου το δε παιδιον αναβητω μετα των αδελφων
34 For I cannot return to my father without the boy, lest I be a witness of the calamity that will oppress my father.	34 πως γαρ αναβησομαι προς τον πατερα του παιδιου μη οντος μεθ' ημων ινα μη ιδω τα κακα α ευρησει τον πατερα μου
