Genesis 42

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And Jacob hearing that food was sold in Egypt, said to his sons: Why are ye careless?	1 Και ειδεν ο Ιακωβ οτι ευρισκετο σιτος εν Αιγυπτω? και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ προς τους υιους αυτου, Τι βλεπετε ο εις τον αλλον;
2 I have heard that wheat is sold in Egypt: go ye down, and buy us necessaries, that we may live, and not be consumed with want.	2 Και ειπεν, Ιδου, ηκουσα οτι ευρισκεται σιτος εν Αιγυπτω? καταβητε εκει και αγορασατε δι' ημας εκειθεν, δια να ζησωμεν και να μη αποθανωμεν.
3 So the ten brethren of Joseph went down, to buy corn in Egypt:	3 Και κατεβησαν οι δεκα αδελφοι του Ιωσηφ δια να αγορασωσι σιτον εξ Αιγυπτου.
4 Whilst Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brethren: Lest perhaps he take any harm in the journey.	4 τον Βενιαμιν ομως, τον αδελφον του Ιωσηφ, δεν απεστειλεν ο Ιακωβ μετα των αδελφων αυτου? διοτι ειπε, Μηπως συμβη εις αυτον συμφορα.
5 And they entered into the land of Egypt with others that went to buy. For the famine was in the land of Chanaan.	5 Και ηλθον οι υιοι του Ισραηλ δια να αγορασωσι σιτον μεταξυ των εκει ερχομενων? διοτι η πεινα ητο εν τη γη Χανααν.
6 And Joseph was governor in the land of Egypt, and corn was sold by his direction to the people. And when his brethren had bowed down to him,	6 Ο Ιωσηφ δε ητο ο διοικητης του τοπου? αυτος επωλει εις παντα τον λαον του τοπου? ηλθον λοιπον οι αδελφοι του Ιωσηφ και προσεκυνησαν αυτον επι προσωπον εως εδαφους.
7 And he knew them, he spoke as it were to strangers somewhat roughly, asking them: Whence came you? They answered: From the land of Chanaan, to buy necessaries of life.	7 Ιδων δε ο Ιωσηφ τους αδελφους αυτου, εγνωρισεν αυτους? προσεποιηθη ομως τον ξενον προς αυτους και ελαλει προς αυτους σκληρα? και ειπε προς αυτους, Ποθεν ερχεσθε; οι δε ειπον, Εκ της γης Χανααν, δια να αγορασωμεν τροφας.
8 And though he knew his brethren, he was not known by them.	8 Και ο μεν Ιωσηφ εγνωρισε τους αδελφους αυτου? εκεινοι ομως δεν εγνωρισαν αυτον.
9 And remembering the dreams, which formerly he had dreamed, he said to them: You are spies. You are come to view the weaker parts of the land.	9 Και ενεθυμηθη ο Ιωσηφ τα ενυπνια, τα οποια ενυπνιασθη περι αυτων? και ειπε προς αυτους, Κατασκοποι εισθε? ηλθετε να παρατηρησητε τα γυμνα του τοπου.
10 But they said: It is not so, my lord, but thy servants are come to buy food.	10 Οι δε ειπον προς αυτον, Ουχι, κυριε μου? αλλ' ηλθομεν οι δουλοι σου δια να αγορασωμεν τροφας?
11 We are all the sons of one man: we are come as peaceable men, neither do thy servants go about any evil.	11 ημεις παντες ειμεθα υιοι ενος ανθρωπου? καλοι ανθρωποι ειμεθα? οι δουλοι σου δεν ειναι κατασκοποι.
12 And he answered them: It is otherwise: you are come to consider the unfenced parts of this land.	12 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουχι, αλλα τα γυμνα του τοπου ηλθετε δια να παρατηρησητε.
13 But they said: We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Chanaan: the youngest is with our father, the other is not living.	13 Οι δε ειπον, Οι δουλοι σου ειμεθα δωδεκα αδελφοι, υιοι ενος ανθρωπου εν τη γη Χανααν? και ιδου, ο νεωτερος ευρισκεται σημερον μετα του πατρος ημων, ο δε αλλος δεν υπαρχει.
14 He saith: This is it that I said: You are spies.	14 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιωσηφ, τουτο ειναι το οποιον σας ειπα λεγων, Κατασκοποι εισθε.
15 I shall now presently try what you are: by the health of Pharao you shall not depart hence, until your youngest brother come.	15 Με τουτο θελετε δοκιμασθη? Μα την ζωην του Φαραω δεν θελετε εξελθει εντευθεν, εαν δεν ελθη εδω ο αδελφος σας ο νεωτερος?
16 Send one of you to fetch him: and you shall be in prison, till what you have said be proved, whether it be true or false: or else by the health of Pharao you are spies.	16 αποστειλατε ενα απο σας και ας φερη τον αδελφον σας? σεις δε θελετε μενει δεσμιοι, εωσου αποδειχθωσιν οι λογοι σας, αν λεγητε την αληθειαν? ει δε μη, μα την ζωην του Φαραω, κατασκοποι βεβαιως εισθε.
17 So he put them in prison three days.	17 Και εθεσεν αυτους υπο φυλαξιν τρεις ημερας.
18 And the third day he brought them out of prison, and said: Do as I have said, and you shall live: for I fear God.	18 Και την τριτην ημεραν ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιωσηφ, τουτο καμετε και θελετε ζησει διοτι εγω φοβουμαι τον Θεον?
19 If you be peaceable men, let one of your brethren be bound in prison: and go ye your ways and carry the corn that you have bought, unto your houses.	19 Εαν ησθε καλοι, εις εκ των αδελφων σας ας μεινη δεσμιος εν τη φυλακη, οπου εισθε? σεις δε υπαγετε, λαβετε σιτον δια την πειναν των οικιων σας?
20 And bring your youngest brother to me, that I may find your words to be true, and you may not die. They did as he had said.	20 φερετε ομως προς εμε τον αδελφον σας τον νεωτερον? ουτω θελουσιν αληθευσει οι λογοι σας και δεν θελετε αποθανει. Και εκαμον ουτω.
21 And they talked one to another: We deserve to suffer these things, because we have sinned against our brother, seeing the anguished of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear: therefore is this affliction come upon us.	21 Και ειπεν ο εις προς τον αλλον, Αληθως ενοχοι ειμεθα δια τον αδελφον ημων, καθοτι ειδομεν την θλιψιν της ψυχης αυτου, οτε παρεκαλει ημας και δεν εισηκουσαμεν αυτου? δια τουτο επηλθεν εφ' ημας η θλιψις αυτη.
22 And Ruben one of them, said: Did not I say to you: Do not sin against the boy: and you would not hear me? Behold his blood is required.	22 Απεκριθη δε ο Ρουβην προς αυτους λεγων, Δεν ειπον προς εσας λεγων, Μη αμαρτησητε κατα του παιδιου, και δεν εισηκουσατε; δια τουτο, ιδου, και το αιμα αυτου εκζητειται.
23 And they knew not that Joseph understood, because he spoke to them by an interpreter.	23 Και αυτοι δεν ηξευρον οτι ενοει ο Ιωσηφ? διοτι συνωμιλουν δι' ερμηνεως.
24 And he turned himself away a little while, and wept: and returning he spoke to them.	24 Και συρθεις απο πλησιον αυτων εκλαυσε? και παλιν επεστρεψε προς αυτους και ελαλει εις αυτους? και ελαβεν εξ αυτων τον Συμεων και εδεσεν αυτον ενωπιον αυτων.
25 And taking Simeon, and binking him in their presence, he commanded his servants to fill their sacks with wheat, and to put every man's money again in their sacks, and to give them besides provisions for the way: and they did so.	25 Τοτε προσεταξεν ο Ιωσηφ να γεμισωσι τα αγγεια αυτων σιτον και να επιστρεψωσι το αργυριον εκαστου εν τω σακκιω αυτου και να δωσωσιν εις αυτους ζωοτροφιαν δια την οδον? και εγεινεν εις αυτους ουτω.
26 But they having loaded their asses with the corn, went their way.	26 Και φορτωσαντες τον σιτον αυτων επι τους ονους αυτων, ανεχωρησαν εκειθεν.
27 And one of them opening his sack, to give his beast provender in the inn, saw the money in the sack's mouth;	27 Οτε δε εις εξ αυτων ελυσε το σακκιον αυτου, δια να δωση εις τον ονον αυτου τροφην εν τω καταλυματι, ειδε το αργυριον αυτου, και ιδου, ητο εν τω στοματι του σακκιου αυτου.
28 And said to his brethren: My money is given me again, hehold it is in the sack. And thye were astonished, and troubled, and said to one another: What is this that God hath done unto us?	28 Και ειπε προς τους αδελφους αυτου, το αργυριον μου μοι εδοθη οπισω και μαλιστα ιδου, ειναι εν τω σακκιω μου? και εξεπλαγη η καρδια αυτων και συνεταραχθησαν, λεγοντες προς αλληλους, Τι ειναι τουτο, το οποιον μας εκαμεν ο Θεος;
29 And they came to Jacob their father in the land of Chanaan, and they told him all things that had befallen them, saying:	29 Ηλθον δε προς Ιακωβ τον πατερα αυτων εις την γην Χανααν και απηγγειλαν προς αυτον παντα τα συμβαντα εις αυτους, λεγοντες,
30 The lord of the land spoke roughly to us, and took us to be spies of the country.	30 Ο ανθρωπος, ο κυριος του τοπου, ελαλησε προς ημας σκληρα και εξελαβεν ημας ως κατασκοπους του τοπου.
31 And we answered him: We are peaceable men, and we mean no plot.	31 Και ειπομεν εις αυτον, Ειμεθα καλοι ανθρωποι δεν ειμεθα κατασκοποι?
32 We are twelve brethren born of one father: one is not living, the youngest is with our father in the land of Chanaan.	32 δωδεκα αδελφοι ειμεθα, υιοι του πατρος ημων? ο εις δεν υπαρχει ο δε νεωτερος ειναι την σημερον μετα του πατρος ημων εν τη γη Χανααν.
33 And he said to us: Hereby shall I know that you are peaceable men: Leave one of your brethren with me, and take ye necessary provision for your houses, and go your ways.	33 Ειπε δε προς ημας ο ανθρωπος, ο κυριος του τοπου, Με τουτο θελω γνωρισει οτι εισθε καλοι ανθρωποι? ενα εκ των αδελφων σας αφησατε μετ' εμου, και λαβοντες σιτον δια την πειναν των οικιων σας απελθετε?
34 And bring your youngest brother to me, that I may know you are not spies: and you may receive this man again, that is kept in prison: and afterwards may have leave to buy what you will.	34 και φερετε προς εμε τον αδελφον σας τον νεωτερον? τοτε θελω γνωρισει οτι δεν εισθε κατασκοποι, αλλ' εισθε καλοι? και θελω σας αποδωσει τον αδελφον σας και θελετε εμπορευεσθαι εν τω τοπω.
35 When they had told this, they poured out their corn and every man found his money tied in the mouth of his sack: and all being astonished together,	35 Και οτε εκενουν τα σακκια αυτων, ιδου, εκαστου το κομβοδεμα του αργυριου ητο εν τω σακκιω αυτου? και ιδοντες αυτοι και ο πατηρ αυτων τα κομβοδεματα του αργυριου αυτων, εφοβηθησαν.
36 Their father Jacob said: You have made me to be without children: Joseph is not living, Simeon is kept in bonds, and Benjamin you will take away: all these evils are fallen upon me.	36 Και ειπε προς αυτους Ιακωβ ο πατηρ αυτων, Σεις με ητεκνωσατε? ο Ιωσηφ δεν υπαρχει και ο Συμεων δεν υπαρχει, και τον Βενιαμιν θελετε λαβει επ' εμε ηλθον παντα ταυτα.
37 And Ruben answered him: Kill my two sons if I bring him not again to thee: deliver him unto my hand, and I will restore him to thee.	37 Ειπε δε ο Ρουβην προς τον πατερα αυτου λεγων, τους δυο υιους μου θανατωσον, εαν δεν φερω αυτον προς σε? παραδος αυτον εις την χειρα μου και εγω θελω επαναφερει αυτον προς σε.
38 But he said: My son shall not go down with you: his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if any mischief befall him in the land to which you go, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to hell.	38 Ο δε ειπε, δεν θελει καταβη ο υιος μου μεθ' υμων? διοτι ο αδελφος αυτου απεθανε και αυτος μονος εμεινε? και εαν συμβη εις αυτον συμφορα εν τη οδω, οπου υπαγετε, τοτε θελετε καταβιβασει την πολιαν μου μετα λυπης εις τον ταφον.
