雅各再差遣眾子往埃及買糧
43 那地的饑荒十分嚴重。 2 他們把從埃及帶回來的糧食都吃完了。他們的父親就對他們說：“你們再去替我們買些糧食回來吧。” 3 猶大對他說：“那人認真地警告我們說：‘如果你們的弟弟不與你們一起來，你們就不得見我的面。’ 4 如果你讓我們的弟弟與我們同去，我們就下去替你買糧食。 5 如果你不讓他去，我們也不下去，因為那人對我們說：‘如果你們的弟弟不與你們一起來，你們就不得見我的面。’” 6 以色列說：“你們為甚麼這樣害我，告訴那人你們還有個弟弟呢？” 7 他們回答：“那人確實查問有關我們和我們親屬的事，說：‘你們的父親還活著嗎？你們還有其他的兄弟嗎？’我們就照著這些話回答他。我們怎麼知道他會說：‘你們必要把你們的弟弟帶下來’呢？” 8 猶大對他父親以色列說：“你若打發那孩子與我同去，我們就立刻起程，好叫我們和你，以及我們的孩子都可以存活，不至餓死。 9 我願意親自擔保他的安全，你可以從我手裡追回他。如果我不把他帶回來給你，交在你面前，我願終生承擔這罪。 10 要不是我們耽延，現在第二次也回來了。”
11 他們的父親以色列對他們說：“如果必須如此，你們就這樣作：你們把本地最好的出產放在袋裡，帶下去給那人作禮物，就是一點乳香、一點蜂蜜、香料、沒藥、粟子和杏仁。 12 你們手裡要多帶一倍銀子，因為你們要把那放回在你們袋口裡的銀子帶回去，那可能是弄錯了的。 13 你們帶著你們的弟弟，起程再到那人那裡去吧。 14 願全能的 神使那人憐憫你們，給你們釋放你們那個兄弟和便雅憫。至於我，如果要喪失兒子，就喪失了吧。” 15 於是，他們帶著這些禮物，手裡拿著多一倍的銀子，並且帶著便雅憫，起程下到埃及去，站在約瑟面前。
約瑟為兄弟擺設筵席
16 約瑟見便雅憫與他們同來，就對管家說：“把這些人帶到我家裡，要宰殺牲畜，預備筵席，因為在正午的時候，這些人要與我一起吃飯。” 17 管家就照著約瑟所吩咐的去作，把這些人帶到約瑟的家裡。 18 他們因為被領到約瑟的家裡，就害怕起來，說：“我們被領到這裡來，必定是為了頭一次放回在我們袋裡的銀子，現在他們想攻擊我們，制伏我們，逼我們作奴僕，又奪去我們的驢。” 19 他們於是走近約瑟的管家，在屋門口與他說話。 20 他們說：“先生啊，我們頭一次下來，實在是要買糧食的。 21 後來我們來到住宿的地方，打開布袋的時候，不料各人的銀子仍然在各人的袋口裡，分文不少；現在我們手裡又帶回來了。 22 我們手裡又另外帶來銀子，是買糧食用的。我們不知道頭一次誰把我們的銀子放在我們的布袋裡。” 23 管家說：“你們可以放心，不要害怕，是你們的 神，你們父親的 神，把財寶賜給你們，放在你們的布袋裡。你們的銀子我早已收到了。”接著他把西緬帶出來交給他們。 24 管家把他們領到約瑟的家裡，給他們水洗腳，又給他們飼料餵驢。 25 於是，他們預備好了禮物，等候約瑟中午到來，因為他們聽說他們要在那裡吃飯。
26 約瑟回到家裡，他們就把手中的禮物帶進屋裡送給他，又俯伏在地向他下拜。 27 約瑟先向他們問安，然後又問：“你們的父親，就是你們所說的那老人家平安嗎？他還在嗎？” 28 他們回答：“你僕人我們的父親平安，他還在。”於是他們低頭下拜。 29 約瑟舉目觀看，看見自己同母所生的弟弟便雅憫，就問：“這就是你們向我提過那最小的弟弟嗎？”又說：“我兒啊，願 神賜恩給你。” 30 約瑟愛弟弟之情激動起來，就急忙去找個可哭的地方。於是他進了自己的內室，在那裡哭了一陣。 31 他洗了面，然後出來，抑制著自己的感情，吩咐人說：“開飯吧。” 32 他們就給約瑟單獨擺了一席，給那些人另外擺了一席，又給那些與約瑟一同吃飯的埃及人擺了一席，因為埃及人不能與希伯來人一同吃飯，這是埃及人所厭惡的。 33 約瑟使眾兄弟在他面前排列坐下，都是照著他們長幼的次序。眾兄弟就彼此對望，驚奇不已。 34 約瑟拿起自己面前的食物，分給他們，但是便雅憫分得的食物，比別人多五倍。他們就與約瑟一同喝酒宴樂。

Decision to Return to Egypt
43 Now the famine in the land was severe.(A) 2 When they had used up the grain they had brought back from Egypt, their father said to them, “Go back and buy us some food.”
3 But Judah said to him, “The man specifically warned us: ‘You will not see me again unless your brother is with you.’ 4 If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy food for you. 5 But if you will not send him, we will not go, for the man said to us, ‘You will not see me again unless your brother is with you.’”(B)
6 “Why did you cause me so much trouble?” Israel asked. “Why did you tell the man that you had another brother?”
7 They answered, “The man kept asking about us and our family: ‘Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?’ And we answered him accordingly. How could we know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother here’?”
8 Then Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy with me. We will be on our way so that we may live and not die—neither we, nor you, nor our children. 9 I will be responsible for him. You can hold me personally accountable![a] If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, I will be guilty before you forever.(C) 10 If we had not wasted time, we could have come back twice by now.”
11 Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your packs and take them down to the man as a gift—some balsam and some honey, aromatic gum and resin, pistachios and almonds.(D) 12 Take twice as much money with you. Return the money that was returned to you in the top of your bags. Perhaps it was a mistake. 13 Take your brother also, and go back at once to the man. 14 May God Almighty cause the man to be merciful to you so that he will release your other brother and Benjamin to you. As for me, if I am deprived of my sons, then I am deprived.”(E)
The Return to Egypt
15 The men took this gift, double the amount of money, and Benjamin. They made their way down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.
16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to his steward,[b] “Take the men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare it, for they will eat with me at noon.” 17 The man did as Joseph had said and brought them to Joseph’s house.
18 But the men were afraid because they were taken to Joseph’s house. They said, “We have been brought here because of the money that was returned in our bags the first time. They intend to overpower us, seize us, make us slaves, and take our donkeys.” 19 So they approached Joseph’s steward[c] and spoke to him at the doorway of the house.
20 They said, “Sir, we really did come down here the first time only to buy food. 21 When we came to the place where we lodged for the night and opened our bags of grain, each one’s money was at the top of his bag!(F) It was the full amount of our money, and we have brought it back with us. 22 We have brought additional money with us to buy food. We don’t know who put our money in the bags.”
23 Then the steward said, “May you be well. Don’t be afraid. Your God and the God of your father must have put treasure in your bags. I received your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them. 24 The steward brought the men into Joseph’s house, gave them water to wash their feet,(G) and got feed for their donkeys. 25 Since the men had heard that they were going to eat a meal there, they prepared their gift for Joseph’s arrival at noon. 26 When Joseph came home, they brought him the gift they had carried into the house, and they bowed to the ground before him.
27 He asked if they were well, and he said, “How is your elderly father that you told me about? Is he still alive?”
28 They answered, “Your servant our father is well. He is still alive.” And they bowed down to honor him.
29 When he looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, he asked, “Is this your youngest brother that you told me about?” Then he said, “May God be gracious to you, my son.” 30 Joseph hurried out because he was overcome with emotion for his brother, and he was about to weep. He went into an inner room to weep. 31 Then he washed his face and came out. Regaining his composure,(H) he said, “Serve the meal.”
32 They served him by himself, his brothers by themselves, and the Egyptians who were eating with him by themselves, because Egyptians could not eat with Hebrews, since that is abhorrent to them.(I) 33 They were seated before him in order by age, from the firstborn to the youngest. The men looked at each other in astonishment. 34 Portions were served to them from Joseph’s table, and Benjamin’s portion was five times larger than any of theirs.(J) They drank, and they got intoxicated with Joseph.

Cuộc Hành Trình Thứ Nhì Xuống Ai-cập
43 Nạn đói vẫn còn tàn khốc. 2 Khi đã ăn hết lúa từ Ai-cập đem về, cha họ lại bảo: “Các con hãy trở xuống và mua một ít lương thực cho chúng ta.” 3 Nhưng Giu-đa thưa với cha: “Người ấy đã nghiêm cấm chúng con: ‘Nếu em các ngươi không đi theo các ngươi thì các ngươi sẽ chẳng bao giờ gặp mặt ta nữa.’ 4 Nếu cha cho em cùng đi với chúng con, chúng con sẽ xuống mua lương thực cho cha và gia đình. 5 Nhưng nếu cha không cho em đi thì chúng con sẽ không xuống đó đâu vì ông ấy đã bảo chúng con: ‘Nếu em các ngươi không xuống đây với các ngươi thì các ngươi sẽ không bao giờ thấy mặt ta nữa.’ ”
6 Y-sơ-ra-ên hỏi: “Tại sao các con khai còn một đứa em nữa để gây rắc rối cho cha?”
7 Họ đáp: “Ông ấy tra hỏi chúng con thật kỹ về chúng con và về gia đình ta: Cha các ngươi còn sống không? Các ngươi còn anh em nào nữa không? Chúng con chỉ trả lời câu hỏi của ông ấy. Chúng con đâu có biết ông ấy lại bảo: ‘Hãy đem em xuống đây.’ ”
8 Giu-đa thưa cùng Y-sơ-ra-ên cha mình: “Xin cha cho em đi với con thì chúng con sẽ ra đi tức khắc, hầu cho chúng ta tức là cha và con cái chúng con đều được sống và khỏi chết. 9 Chính con xin bảo đảm an toàn cho em; bản thân con xin chịu trách nhiệm về em trước mặt cha. Nếu con không đem em nó về cho cha và đặt nó tại đây trước mặt cha thì con xin hứng chịu sự quở trách của cha suốt đời. 10 Thật ra nếu chúng ta không lần lữa thì đã đi và về được hai chuyến rồi.”
11 Lúc ấy Y-sơ-ra-ên, cha họ mới bảo: “Nếu việc chẳng đừng được thì các con hãy làm điều này. Hãy mang theo trong bao các phẩm vật cho người ấy: một ít nhũ hương và mật ong, hương liệu và nhựa thơm, hạt dẻ và hạnh nhân. 12 Cũng hãy đem theo số bạc gấp đôi số lần trước vì các con phải trả lại bạc người ta để trong miệng bao của các con. Có lẽ đó là một sự lầm lẫn. 13 Hãy dẫn em các con theo và trở xuống gặp người ấy ngay. 14 Cầu xin Đức Chúa Trời toàn năng cho các con được ơn thương xót trước mặt người ấy để tha đứa con kia và cho Bên-gia-min về với các con. Còn phần cha, nếu phải mất đứa con thì đành chấp nhận vậy!”
Bên-gia-min Gặp Giô-sép
15 Vậy, các anh em đem theo tặng phẩm và số bạc gấp đôi cùng với Bên-gia-min lên đường xuống Ai-cập và yết kiến Giô-sép. 16 Vừa khi thấy Bên-gia-min xuống với anh em, Giô-sép bảo quản gia: “Hãy đưa những người này vào nhà ta, bắt một con vật làm thịt và dọn bữa ăn vì trưa nay họ sẽ ăn với ta.”
17 Quản gia làm theo mọi điều Giô-sép đã dặn và đưa các anh em vào nhà Giô-sép. 18 Thấy mình bị đưa vào nhà Giô-sép, các anh em hoảng sợ thầm nghĩ: “Chúng ta bị giải vào đây vì số bạc đã để lại trong bao chúng ta lần thứ nhất. Ông ấy muốn tấn công chúng ta, đàn áp chúng ta, bắt chúng ta làm nô lệ và cướp lừa của chúng ta.”
19 Vậy họ đến gần quản gia của Giô-sép và thưa với ông tại ngoài cửa: 20 “Thưa chúa, chúng tôi đã đến đây lần thứ nhất để mua lương thực. 21 Nhưng khi đến quán trọ, chúng tôi dỡ các bao ra thì đều thấy số bạc để nơi miệng bao mình cân nặng đúng y như cũ. Đây chúng tôi có mang theo số bạc đó. 22 Chúng tôi cũng mang thêm số bạc để mua lương thực nữa, không biết ai để bạc đó trong bao chúng tôi.”
23 Quản gia đáp: “Mọi việc đều tốt cả. Đừng sợ chi! Đức Chúa Trời của các anh và Đức Chúa Trời của thân phụ các anh đã để bảo vật trong bao các anh. Còn bạc các anh tôi đã nhận đủ.” Rồi quản gia đưa Si-mê-ôn đến cùng anh em.
24 Quản gia đưa các anh em vào nhà Giô-sép, đem nước cho họ rửa chân và đem cỏ cho lừa ăn. 25 Các anh em sắp xếp tặng phẩm, chờ đợi trưa Giô-sép về vì nghe rằng sẽ phải ăn trưa tại đây.
26 Khi Giô-sép về đến nhà, anh em dâng cho ông các tặng phẩm họ đã đem đến rồi sấp mình xuống đất trước mặt ông. 27 Giô-sép chào hỏi họ và tiếp: “Vị cha già các ngươi từng nói đến có mạnh giỏi không? Cụ còn sống không?”
28 Họ đáp: “Kẻ tôi tớ chúa là cha chúng tôi vẫn còn sống và mạnh khỏe.” Họ lại cúi đầu sấp mình xuống đất.
29 Ngước mắt nhìn, Giô-sép thấy Bên-gia-min em ruột mình, con của mẹ mình, liền hỏi: “Đó có phải là người em út mà các ngươi đã nói không?” Ông tiếp: “Con ơi, cầu xin Đức Chúa Trời ban ơn cho con!” 30 Khi thấy em mình, Giô-sép rất cảm động nên vội vã bước ra ngoài tìm chỗ để khóc. Ông vào phòng riêng để khóc.
31 Sau khi rửa mặt, Giô-sép bước ra tự chủ được và ra lệnh: “Dọn ăn đi.”
32 Người ta dọn cho Giô-sép ăn riêng, còn các anh em cũng ăn riêng và người Ai-cập thường ăn với Giô-sép cũng ăn riêng nữa, vì người Ai-cập ghê tởm người Do Thái nên không thể nào ăn chung được. 33 Các anh em được xếp ngồi trước mặt Giô-sép theo thứ tự tuổi tác từ anh cả đến em út. Họ ngạc nhiên nhìn nhau. 34 Khi dọn các món ăn cho các anh em trước mặt mình, Giô-sép cho Bên-gia-min nhiều gấp năm phần của các người khác. Vậy, họ ăn uống tiệc tùng vui vẻ với Giô-sép.

The Second Journey to Egypt
43 Now the famine was still severe in the land.(A) 2 So when they had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt,(B) their father said to them, “Go back and buy us a little more food.”(C)
3 But Judah(D) said to him, “The man warned us solemnly, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’(E) 4 If you will send our brother along with us, we will go down and buy food for you.(F) 5 But if you will not send him, we will not go down, because the man said to us, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.(G)’”
6 Israel(H) asked, “Why did you bring this trouble(I) on me by telling the man you had another brother?”
7 They replied, “The man questioned us closely about ourselves and our family. ‘Is your father still living?’(J) he asked us. ‘Do you have another brother?’(K) We simply answered his questions. How were we to know he would say, ‘Bring your brother down here’?”(L)
8 Then Judah(M) said to Israel(N) his father, “Send the boy along with me and we will go at once, so that we and you and our children may live and not die.(O) 9 I myself will guarantee his safety; you can hold me personally responsible for him.(P) If I do not bring him back to you and set him here before you, I will bear the blame(Q) before you all my life.(R) 10 As it is, if we had not delayed,(S) we could have gone and returned twice.”
11 Then their father Israel(T) said to them, “If it must be, then do this: Put some of the best products(U) of the land in your bags and take them down to the man as a gift(V)—a little balm(W) and a little honey, some spices(X) and myrrh,(Y) some pistachio nuts and almonds. 12 Take double the amount(Z) of silver with you, for you must return the silver that was put back into the mouths of your sacks.(AA) Perhaps it was a mistake. 13 Take your brother also and go back to the man at once.(AB) 14 And may God Almighty[a](AC) grant you mercy(AD) before the man so that he will let your other brother and Benjamin come back with you.(AE) As for me, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”(AF)
15 So the men took the gifts and double the amount of silver,(AG) and Benjamin also. They hurried(AH) down to Egypt and presented themselves(AI) to Joseph. 16 When Joseph saw Benjamin(AJ) with them, he said to the steward of his house,(AK) “Take these men to my house, slaughter an animal and prepare a meal;(AL) they are to eat with me at noon.”
17 The man did as Joseph told him and took the men to Joseph’s house.(AM) 18 Now the men were frightened(AN) when they were taken to his house.(AO) They thought, “We were brought here because of the silver that was put back into our sacks(AP) the first time. He wants to attack us(AQ) and overpower us and seize us as slaves(AR) and take our donkeys.(AS)”
19 So they went up to Joseph’s steward(AT) and spoke to him at the entrance to the house. 20 “We beg your pardon, our lord,” they said, “we came down here the first time to buy food.(AU) 21 But at the place where we stopped for the night we opened our sacks and each of us found his silver—the exact weight—in the mouth of his sack. So we have brought it back with us.(AV) 22 We have also brought additional silver with us to buy food. We don’t know who put our silver in our sacks.”
23 “It’s all right,” he said. “Don’t be afraid. Your God, the God of your father,(AW) has given you treasure in your sacks;(AX) I received your silver.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.(AY)
24 The steward took the men into Joseph’s house,(AZ) gave them water to wash their feet(BA) and provided fodder for their donkeys. 25 They prepared their gifts(BB) for Joseph’s arrival at noon,(BC) because they had heard that they were to eat there.
26 When Joseph came home,(BD) they presented to him the gifts(BE) they had brought into the house, and they bowed down before him to the ground.(BF) 27 He asked them how they were, and then he said, “How is your aged father(BG) you told me about? Is he still living?”(BH)
28 They replied, “Your servant our father(BI) is still alive and well.” And they bowed down,(BJ) prostrating themselves before him.(BK)
29 As he looked about and saw his brother Benjamin, his own mother’s son,(BL) he asked, “Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?”(BM) And he said, “God be gracious to you,(BN) my son.” 30 Deeply moved(BO) at the sight of his brother, Joseph hurried out and looked for a place to weep. He went into his private room and wept(BP) there.
31 After he had washed his face, he came out and, controlling himself,(BQ) said, “Serve the food.”(BR)
32 They served him by himself, the brothers by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because Egyptians could not eat with Hebrews,(BS) for that is detestable to Egyptians.(BT) 33 The men had been seated before him in the order of their ages, from the firstborn(BU) to the youngest;(BV) and they looked at each other in astonishment. 34 When portions were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as anyone else’s.(BW) So they feasted(BX) and drank freely with him.
