LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ιδων δε ιακωβ οτι εστιν πρασις εν αιγυπτω ειπεν τοις υιοις αυτου ινα τι ραθυμειτε	1 And Jacob hearing that food was sold in Egypt, said to his sons: Why are ye careless?
2 ιδου ακηκοα οτι εστιν σιτος εν αιγυπτω καταβητε εκει και πριασθε ημιν μικρα βρωματα ινα ζωμεν και μη αποθανωμεν	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.
3 κατεβησαν δε οι αδελφοι ιωσηφ οι δεκα πριασθαι σιτον εξ αιγυπτου	3 So the ten brethren of Joseph went down, to buy corn in Egypt:
4 τον δε βενιαμιν τον αδελφον ιωσηφ ουκ απεστειλεν μετα των αδελφων αυτου ειπεν γαρ μηποτε συμβη αυτω μαλακια	4 Whilst Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brethren: Lest perhaps he take any harm in the journey.
5 ηλθον δε οι υιοι ισραηλ αγοραζειν μετα των ερχομενων ην γαρ ο λιμος εν γη χανααν	5 And they entered into the land of Egypt with others that went to buy. For the famine was in the land of Chanaan.
6 ιωσηφ δε ην αρχων της γης ουτος επωλει παντι τω λαω της γης ελθοντες δε οι αδελφοι ιωσηφ προσεκυνησαν αυτω επι προσωπον επι την γην	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,
7 ιδων δε ιωσηφ τους αδελφους αυτου επεγνω και ηλλοτριουτο απ' αυτων και ελαλησεν αυτοις σκληρα και ειπεν αυτοις ποθεν ηκατε οι δε ειπαν εκ γης χανααν αγορασαι βρωματα	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.
8 επεγνω δε ιωσηφ τους αδελφους αυτου αυτοι δε ουκ επεγνωσαν αυτον	8 And though he knew his brethren, he was not known by them.
9 και εμνησθη ιωσηφ των ενυπνιων ων ειδεν αυτος και ειπεν αυτοις κατασκοποι εστε κατανοησαι τα ιχνη της χωρας ηκατε	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.
10 οι δε ειπαν ουχι κυριε οι παιδες σου ηλθομεν πριασθαι βρωματα	10 But they said: It is not so, my lord, but thy servants are come to buy food.
11 παντες εσμεν υιοι ενος ανθρωπου ειρηνικοι εσμεν ουκ εισιν οι παιδες σου κατασκοποι	11 We are all the sons of one man: we are come as peaceable men, neither do thy servants go about any evil.
12 ειπεν δε αυτοις ουχι αλλα τα ιχνη της γης ηλθατε ιδειν	12 And he answered them: It is otherwise: you are come to consider the unfenced parts of this land.
13 οι δε ειπαν δωδεκα εσμεν οι παιδες σου αδελφοι εν γη χανααν και ιδου ο νεωτερος μετα του πατρος ημων σημερον ο δε ετερος ουχ υπαρχει	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.
14 ειπεν δε αυτοις ιωσηφ τουτο εστιν ο ειρηκα υμιν λεγων οτι κατασκοποι εστε	14 He saith: This is it that I said: You are spies.
15 εν τουτω φανεισθε νη την υγιειαν φαραω ου μη εξελθητε εντευθεν εαν μη ο αδελφος υμων ο νεωτερος ελθη ωδε	15 I shall now presently try what you are: by the health of Pharao you shall not depart hence, until your youngest brother come.
16 αποστειλατε εξ υμων ενα και λαβετε τον αδελφον υμων υμεις δε απαχθητε εως του φανερα γενεσθαι τα ρηματα υμων ει αληθευετε η ου ει δε μη νη την υγιειαν φαραω η μην κατασκοποι εστε	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.
17 και εθετο αυτους εν φυλακη ημερας τρεις	17 So he put them in prison three days.
18 ειπεν δε αυτοις τη ημερα τη τριτη τουτο ποιησατε και ζησεσθε τον θεον γαρ εγω φοβουμαι	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.
19 ει ειρηνικοι εστε αδελφος υμων εις κατασχεθητω εν τη φυλακη αυτοι δε βαδισατε και απαγαγετε τον αγορασμον της σιτοδοσιας υμων	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.
20 και τον αδελφον υμων τον νεωτερον αγαγετε προς με και πιστευθησονται τα ρηματα υμων ει δε μη αποθανεισθε εποιησαν δε ουτως	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.
21 και ειπεν εκαστος προς τον αδελφον αυτου ναι εν αμαρτια γαρ εσμεν περι του αδελφου ημων οτι υπερειδομεν την θλιψιν της ψυχης αυτου οτε κατεδεετο ημων και ουκ εισηκουσαμεν αυτου ενεκεν τουτου επηλθεν εφ' ημας η θλιψις αυτη	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.
22 αποκριθεις δε ρουβην ειπεν αυτοις ουκ ελαλησα υμιν λεγων μη αδικησητε το παιδαριον και ουκ εισηκουσατε μου και ιδου το αιμα αυτου εκζητειται	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.
23 αυτοι δε ουκ ηδεισαν οτι ακουει ιωσηφ ο γαρ ερμηνευτης ανα μεσον αυτων ην	23 And they knew not that Joseph understood, because he spoke to them by an interpreter.
24 αποστραφεις δε απ' αυτων εκλαυσεν ιωσηφ και παλιν προσηλθεν προς αυτους και ειπεν αυτοις και ελαβεν τον συμεων απ' αυτων και εδησεν αυτον εναντιον αυτων	24 And he turned himself away a little while, and wept: and returning he spoke to them.
25 ενετειλατο δε ιωσηφ εμπλησαι τα αγγεια αυτων σιτου και αποδουναι το αργυριον εκαστου εις τον σακκον αυτου και δουναι αυτοις επισιτισμον εις την οδον και εγενηθη αυτοις ουτως	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.
26 και επιθεντες τον σιτον επι τους ονους αυτων απηλθον εκειθεν	26 But they having loaded their asses with the corn, went their way.
27 λυσας δε εις τον μαρσιππον αυτου δουναι χορτασματα τοις ονοις αυτου ου κατελυσαν ειδεν τον δεσμον του αργυριου αυτου και ην επανω του στοματος του μαρσιππου	27 And one of them opening his sack, to give his beast provender in the inn, saw the money in the sack's mouth;
28 και ειπεν τοις αδελφοις αυτου απεδοθη μοι το αργυριον και ιδου τουτο εν τω μαρσιππω μου και εξεστη η καρδια αυτων και εταραχθησαν προς αλληλους λεγοντες τι τουτο εποιησεν ο θεος ημιν	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?
29 ηλθον δε προς ιακωβ τον πατερα αυτων εις γην χανααν και απηγγειλαν αυτω παντα τα συμβαντα αυτοις λεγοντες	29 And they came to Jacob their father in the land of Chanaan, and they told him all things that had befallen them, saying:
30 λελαληκεν ο ανθρωπος ο κυριος της γης προς ημας σκληρα και εθετο ημας εν φυλακη ως κατασκοπευοντας την γην	30 The lord of the land spoke roughly to us, and took us to be spies of the country.
31 ειπαμεν δε αυτω ειρηνικοι εσμεν ουκ εσμεν κατασκοποι	31 And we answered him: We are peaceable men, and we mean no plot.
32 δωδεκα αδελφοι εσμεν υιοι του πατρος ημων ο εις ουχ υπαρχει ο δε μικροτερος μετα του πατρος ημων σημερον εν γη χανααν	32 We are twelve brethren born of one father: one is not living, the youngest is with our father in the land of Chanaan.
33 ειπεν δε ημιν ο ανθρωπος ο κυριος της γης εν τουτω γνωσομαι οτι ειρηνικοι εστε αδελφον ενα αφετε ωδε μετ' εμου τον δε αγορασμον της σιτοδοσιας του οικου υμων λαβοντες απελθατε	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.
34 και αγαγετε προς με τον αδελφον υμων τον νεωτερον και γνωσομαι οτι ου κατασκοποι εστε αλλ' οτι ειρηνικοι εστε και τον αδελφον υμων αποδωσω υμιν και τη γη εμπορευεσθε	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.
35 εγενετο δε εν τω κατακενουν αυτους τους σακκους αυτων και ην εκαστου ο δεσμος του αργυριου εν τω σακκω αυτων και ειδον τους δεσμους του αργυριου αυτων αυτοι και ο πατηρ αυτων και εφοβηθησαν	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,
36 ειπεν δε αυτοις ιακωβ ο πατηρ αυτων εμε ητεκνωσατε ιωσηφ ουκ εστιν συμεων ουκ εστιν και τον βενιαμιν λημψεσθε επ' εμε εγενετο παντα ταυτα	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.
37 ειπεν δε ρουβην τω πατρι αυτου λεγων τους δυο υιους μου αποκτεινον εαν μη αγαγω αυτον προς σε δος αυτον εις την χειρα μου καγω αναξω αυτον προς σε	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.
38 ο δε ειπεν ου καταβησεται ο υιος μου μεθ' υμων οτι ο αδελφος αυτου απεθανεν και αυτος μονος καταλελειπται και συμβησεται αυτον μαλακισθηναι εν τη οδω η αν πορευησθε και καταξετε μου το γηρας μετα λυπης εις αδου	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.
