LXXKING JAMES BIBLE
1 ο δε λιμος ενισχυσεν επι της γης1 And the famine was sore in the land.
2 εγενετο δε ηνικα συνετελεσαν καταφαγειν τον σιτον ον ηνεγκαν εξ αιγυπτου και ειπεν αυτοις ο πατηρ αυτων παλιν πορευθεντες πριασθε ημιν μικρα βρωματα2 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.
3 ειπεν δε αυτω ιουδας λεγων διαμαρτυρια διαμεμαρτυρηται ημιν ο ανθρωπος λεγων ουκ οψεσθε το προσωπον μου εαν μη ο αδελφος υμων ο νεωτερος μεθ' υμων η3 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.
4 ει μεν ουν αποστελλεις τον αδελφον ημων μεθ' ημων καταβησομεθα και αγορασωμεν σοι βρωματα4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
5 ει δε μη αποστελλεις τον αδελφον ημων μεθ' ημων ου πορευσομεθα ο γαρ ανθρωπος ειπεν ημιν λεγων ουκ οψεσθε μου το προσωπον εαν μη ο αδελφος υμων ο νεωτερος μεθ' υμων η5 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.
6 ειπεν δε ισραηλ τι εκακοποιησατε με αναγγειλαντες τω ανθρωπω ει εστιν υμιν αδελφος6 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
7 οι δε ειπαν ερωτων επηρωτησεν ημας ο ανθρωπος και την γενεαν ημων λεγων ει ετι ο πατηρ υμων ζη ει εστιν υμιν αδελφος και απηγγειλαμεν αυτω κατα την επερωτησιν ταυτην μη ηδειμεν ει ερει ημιν αγαγετε τον αδελφον υμων7 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?
8 ειπεν δε ιουδας προς ισραηλ τον πατερα αυτου αποστειλον το παιδαριον μετ' εμου και ανασταντες πορευσομεθα ινα ζωμεν και μη αποθανωμεν και ημεις και συ και η αποσκευη ημων8 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.
9 εγω δε εκδεχομαι αυτον εκ χειρος μου ζητησον αυτον εαν μη αγαγω αυτον προς σε και στησω αυτον εναντιον σου ημαρτηκως εσομαι προς σε πασας τας ημερας9 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:
10 ει μη γαρ εβραδυναμεν ηδη αν υπεστρεψαμεν δις10 For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
11 ειπεν δε αυτοις ισραηλ ο πατηρ αυτων ει ουτως εστιν τουτο ποιησατε λαβετε απο των καρπων της γης εν τοις αγγειοις υμων και καταγαγετε τω ανθρωπω δωρα της ρητινης και του μελιτος θυμιαμα και στακτην και τερεμινθον και καρυα11 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:
12 και το αργυριον δισσον λαβετε εν ταις χερσιν υμων το αργυριον το αποστραφεν εν τοις μαρσιπποις υμων αποστρεψατε μεθ' υμων μηποτε αγνοημα εστιν12 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:
13 και τον αδελφον υμων λαβετε και ανασταντες καταβητε προς τον ανθρωπον13 Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
14 ο δε θεος μου δωη υμιν χαριν εναντιον του ανθρωπου και αποστειλαι τον αδελφον υμων τον ενα και τον βενιαμιν εγω μεν γαρ καθα ητεκνωμαι ητεκνωμαι14 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.
15 λαβοντες δε οι ανδρες τα δωρα ταυτα και το αργυριον διπλουν ελαβον εν ταις χερσιν αυτων και τον βενιαμιν και ανασταντες κατεβησαν εις αιγυπτον και εστησαν εναντιον ιωσηφ15 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.
16 ειδεν δε ιωσηφ αυτους και τον βενιαμιν τον αδελφον αυτου τον ομομητριον και ειπεν τω επι της οικιας αυτου εισαγαγε τους ανθρωπους εις την οικιαν και σφαξον θυματα και ετοιμασον μετ' εμου γαρ φαγονται οι ανθρωποι αρτους την μεσημβριαν16 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.
17 εποιησεν δε ο ανθρωπος καθα ειπεν ιωσηφ και εισηγαγεν τους ανθρωπους εις τον οικον ιωσηφ17 And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
18 ιδοντες δε οι ανθρωποι οτι εισηχθησαν εις τον οικον ιωσηφ ειπαν δια το αργυριον το αποστραφεν εν τοις μαρσιπποις ημων την αρχην ημεις εισαγομεθα του συκοφαντησαι ημας και επιθεσθαι ημιν του λαβειν ημας εις παιδας και τους ονους ημων18 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.
19 προσελθοντες δε προς τον ανθρωπον τον επι του οικου ιωσηφ ελαλησαν αυτω εν τω πυλωνι του οικου19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
20 λεγοντες δεομεθα κυριε κατεβημεν την αρχην πριασθαι βρωματα20 And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
21 εγενετο δε ηνικα ηλθομεν εις το καταλυσαι και ηνοιξαμεν τους μαρσιππους ημων και τοδε το αργυριον εκαστου εν τω μαρσιππω αυτου το αργυριον ημων εν σταθμω απεστρεψαμεν νυν εν ταις χερσιν ημων21 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.
22 και αργυριον ετερον ηνεγκαμεν μεθ' εαυτων αγορασαι βρωματα ουκ οιδαμεν τις ενεβαλεν το αργυριον εις τους μαρσιππους ημων22 And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
23 ειπεν δε αυτοις ιλεως υμιν μη φοβεισθε ο θεος υμων και ο θεος των πατερων υμων εδωκεν υμιν θησαυρους εν τοις μαρσιπποις υμων το δε αργυριον υμων ευδοκιμουν απεχω και εξηγαγεν προς αυτους τον συμεων23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
24 και ηνεγκεν υδωρ νιψαι τους ποδας αυτων και εδωκεν χορτασματα τοις ονοις αυτων24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
25 ητοιμασαν δε τα δωρα εως του ελθειν ιωσηφ μεσημβριας ηκουσαν γαρ οτι εκει μελλει αρισταν25 And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
26 εισηλθεν δε ιωσηφ εις την οικιαν και προσηνεγκαν αυτω τα δωρα α ειχον εν ταις χερσιν αυτων εις τον οικον και προσεκυνησαν αυτω επι προσωπον επι την γην26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
27 ηρωτησεν δε αυτους πως εχετε και ειπεν αυτοις ει υγιαινει ο πατηρ υμων ο πρεσβυτερος ον ειπατε ετι ζη27 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
28 οι δε ειπαν υγιαινει ο παις σου ο πατηρ ημων ετι ζη και ειπεν ευλογητος ο ανθρωπος εκεινος τω θεω και κυψαντες προσεκυνησαν αυτω28 And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
29 αναβλεψας δε τοις οφθαλμοις ιωσηφ ειδεν βενιαμιν τον αδελφον αυτου τον ομομητριον και ειπεν ουτος ο αδελφος υμων ο νεωτερος ον ειπατε προς με αγαγειν και ειπεν ο θεος ελεησαι σε τεκνον29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.
30 εταραχθη δε ιωσηφ συνεστρεφετο γαρ τα εντερα αυτου επι τω αδελφω αυτου και εζητει κλαυσαι εισελθων δε εις το ταμιειον εκλαυσεν εκει30 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
31 και νιψαμενος το προσωπον εξελθων ενεκρατευσατο και ειπεν παραθετε αρτους31 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
32 και παρεθηκαν αυτω μονω και αυτοις καθ' εαυτους και τοις αιγυπτιοις τοις συνδειπνουσιν μετ' αυτου καθ' εαυτους ου γαρ εδυναντο οι αιγυπτιοι συνεσθιειν μετα των εβραιων αρτους βδελυγμα γαρ εστιν τοις αιγυπτιοις32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
33 εκαθισαν δε εναντιον αυτου ο πρωτοτοκος κατα τα πρεσβεια αυτου και ο νεωτερος κατα την νεοτητα αυτου εξισταντο δε οι ανθρωποι εκαστος προς τον αδελφον αυτου33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.
34 ηραν δε μεριδας παρ' αυτου προς αυτους εμεγαλυνθη δε η μερις βενιαμιν παρα τας μεριδας παντων πενταπλασιως προς τας εκεινων επιον δε και εμεθυσθησαν μετ' αυτου34 And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
