De eerste reis van Jozefs broers naar Egypte
42 Jakob hoorde dat er in Egypte graan was. Hij zei tegen zijn zonen: "Waarom zitten jullie elkaar aan te kijken? 2 Ik heb gehoord dat er in Egypte graan is. Ga daar graan voor ons kopen, dan blijven we in leven. Maar anders sterven we van de honger." 3 Toen reisden tien van Jozefs broers naar Egypte om graan te kopen. 4 Maar Jakob liet Benjamin, Jozefs broer, niet met de anderen meegaan. Want hij dacht: "Stel dat hem iets overkomt." 5 Zo kwamen ook de zonen van Israël graan kopen. Want er was ook hongersnood in Kanaän.
6 Jozef was de heerser van het land. Hij verkocht zelf het graan aan de mensen. Toen zijn broers aangekomen waren, bogen ze zich diep voor hem. 7 Zodra Jozef zijn broers zag, herkende hij hen. Maar hij deed alsof hij hen niet kende en zei kortaf tegen hen: "Waar komen jullie vandaan?" Ze antwoordden: "Uit Kanaän. We komen eten kopen." 8 Jozef herkende zijn broers wel, maar zij herkenden hem niet. 9 Toen herinnerde Jozef zich wat hij over hen gedroomd had. Hij zei tegen hen: "Jullie zijn spionnen. Jullie zijn gekomen om te kijken waar jullie gemakkelijk het land kunnen binnendringen." 10 Maar ze zeiden tegen hem: "Nee heer, we zijn gekomen om eten te kopen. 11 We zijn allemaal zonen van één man. We zijn eerlijke mensen. We zijn geen spionnen." 12 Maar hij zei tegen hen: "Nee, jullie zijn gekomen om te kijken waar jullie gemakkelijk het land kunnen binnendringen." 13 Toen zeiden ze: "Vroeger waren we met z'n twaalven. Twaalf zonen van één man in Kanaän. Onze jongste broer is nog bij onze vader, en één broer leeft niet meer." 14 Maar Jozef zei tegen hen: "Het is zoals ik jullie heb gezegd: jullie zijn spionnen. 15 Ik zweer bij de farao dat ik zal uitzoeken of jullie de waarheid spreken. Jullie mogen hier pas vertrekken als jullie jongste broer hier is gekomen. 16 Stuur dus één van jullie naar huis om jullie broer te halen. De anderen zullen hier gevangen blijven. Zo zal ik te weten komen of jullie de waarheid hebben gesproken. Maar als jullie broer niet komt, zijn jullie spionnen, dat zweer ik bij de farao." 17 En hij sloot hen allemaal drie dagen op in de gevangenis.
18 Na drie dagen zei Jozef tegen hen: "Doe wat ik zeg als jullie in leven willen blijven. Ik heb ontzag voor God. 19 Als jullie eerlijke mensen zijn, laat dan één van jullie in de gevangenis achterblijven. De anderen mogen naar huis gaan en graan meenemen. Dan hoeven jullie gezinnen geen honger te hebben. 20 Maar daarna moeten jullie je jongste broer meebrengen. Dan zal ik kunnen zien of jullie de waarheid hebben gesproken. Doen jullie dat niet, dan zal ik jullie laten doden." 21 Ze beloofden het hem. En ze zeiden tegen elkaar: "Luister, nu worden we gestraft voor wat we onze broer hebben aangedaan. Want we zagen hoe bang hij was. Hij smeekte ons om medelijden. Maar we hebben niet naar hem geluisterd." 22 Ruben zei: "Ik had jullie toch gezegd dat jullie de jongen geen kwaad moesten doen? Maar jullie wilden niet naar me luisteren. Nu is dit onze straf." 23 Ze wisten niet dat Jozef hen verstond, want hij gebruikte een tolk als hij met hen sprak. 24 Toen hij dat hoorde, liep Jozef bij hen weg en huilde. Daarna kwam hij weer terug en sprak met hen. Hij koos Simeon uit en liet hem voor de ogen van zijn broers vastbinden.
De broers gaan met graan naar huis
25 Jozef gaf bevel de zakken van zijn broers met graan te vullen. Ook zei hij dat het geld waarmee ze hadden betaald, er bovenop gelegd moest worden. Verder liet hij eten voor onderweg meegeven. 26 De broers laadden het graan op de ezels en vertrokken. 27 's Avonds gingen ze een herberg in om de nacht door te brengen. Eén van hen maakte zijn zak open om zijn ezel te eten te geven. Toen zag hij bovenop het graan het geld liggen. 28 Hij zei tegen zijn broers: "Kijk eens, daar is mijn geld! Het ligt bovenin de zak!" Toen werden ze vreselijk bang. Ze keken elkaar bevend aan. Ze zeiden tegen elkaar: "Wat heeft God ons nu aangedaan?"
29 Ze reisden terug naar hun vader Jakob in Kanaän. Ze vertelden hem wat er allemaal was gebeurd. 30 Ze zeiden: "Die man, de heer van het land, was heel kortaf tegen ons. Hij zei dat we spionnen waren. 31 Toen zeiden we tegen hem: 'Wij zijn eerlijke mensen. We zijn geen spionnen. 32 We waren met z'n twaalven. Twaalf zonen van één vader. Eén broer leeft niet meer, en de jongste is nog bij onze vader in Kanaän.' 33 Toen zei die man tegen ons: 'Jullie moeten bewijzen dat jullie eerlijke mensen zijn. Daarom blijft één van jullie hier. Jullie mogen graan meenemen voor jullie gezinnen en naar huis gaan. 34 Daarna brengen jullie je jongste broer bij mij. Dan weet ik dat jullie geen spionnen zijn, maar eerlijke mensen. Dan geef ik jullie je broer terug en mogen jullie vrij door het land reizen.' "
35 Toen maakten ze hun zakken leeg. En ze ontdekten dat bovenin elke zak, op het graan, de geldzak met hun geld lag. Ze werden bang. 36 Hun vader Jakob zei tegen hen: "Jullie beroven mij van mijn kinderen! Jozef is er niet meer. Simeon is in Egypte. Benjamin willen jullie meenemen. Mij overkomt ook alleen maar ellende!" 37 Toen zei Ruben tegen zijn vader: "Als ik Benjamin niet mee terugbreng, mag u mijn twee zonen doden. Vertrouw me. Ik zal ervoor zorgen dat hij bij u terugkomt." 38 Maar Jakob zei: "Nee, mijn zoon gaat niet met jullie mee. Zijn broer is al dood en nu is hij als enige overgebleven.[a] Als hem op reis iets overkomt, zal ik sterven van verdriet. En dat zal dan jullie schuld zijn!"

Bumili ng pagkain ang mga anak ni Jacob.
42 Nabalitaan nga ni (A)Jacob na may trigo sa Egipto, at sinabi ni Jacob sa kaniyang mga anak, Bakit kayo nangagtitinginan?
2 At kaniyang sinabi, Narito, aking narinig na may trigo sa Egipto: bumaba kayo roon, at bumili kayo roon ng sa (B)ganang atin, upang tayo'y mabuhay at huwag mamatay.
3 At ang sangpung kapatid ni Jose ay bumaba, na bumili ng trigo sa Egipto.
4 Datapuwa't si Benjamin na (C)kapatid ni Jose, ay hindi sinugo ni Jacob na kasama ng kaniyang mga kapatid; sapagka't aniya'y, (D)Baka sakaling may mangyari sa kaniyang anomang kapahamakan.
5 At ang mga anak ni Israel ay nagsiparoong bumili, na kasalamuha ng nagsisiparoon: sapagka't nagkakagutom sa lupain ng Canaan.
6 (E)At si Jose ang tagapamahala sa lupain; siya ang nagbibili ng trigo sa lahat ng mga tao sa lupain: at nagsidating ang mga kapatid ni Jose (F)at nangagpatirapa sa kaniya, na ang kanilang mga mukha ay pasubasob.
7 At nakita ni Jose ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at kaniyang nangakilala, datapuwa't siya'y nagkunwaring iba sa kanila, at sila'y kinausap niya ng magilas; at sinabi sa kanila, Saan kayo nagsipanggaling? At sinabi nila, Sa lupain ng Canaan, upang bumili ng pagkain.
8 At nakilala ni Jose ang kaniyang mga kapatid, datapuwa't hindi nila siya nakilala.
9 (G)At naalaala ni Jose ang mga panaginip na kaniyang napanaginip, tungkol sa kanila, at sa kanila'y sinabi, Kayo'y mga tiktik; upang tingnan ninyo ang kahubaran ng lupain kaya kayo naparito.
10 At kanilang sinabi sa kaniya, Hindi panginoon ko, kundi ang iyong mga lingkod ay nagsiparito upang bumili ng pagkain.
11 Kaming lahat ay anak ng isa lamang lalake; kami ay mga taong tapat, ang iyong mga lingkod ay hindi mga tiktik.
12 At kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Hindi, kungdi upang tingnan ang kahubaran ng lupain kaya kayo naparito.
13 At kanilang sinabi, Kaming iyong mga lingkod ay labing dalawang magkakapatid, na mga anak ng isa lamang lalake sa lupain ng Canaan; at, narito, ang bunso ay nasa aming ama ngayon, (H)at ang isa'y wala na.
14 At sinabi sa kanila ni Jose, Iyan ang sinasalita ko sa inyo, na aking sinasabi, Kayo'y mga tiktik;
15 Dito ko kayo susubukin: alangalang sa buhay ni Faraon ay hindi kayo aalis dito, malibang pumarito ang inyong kapatid na bunso.
16 Suguin ninyo ang isa sa inyo, na dalhin dito ang inyong kapatid, at kayo'y mangabibilanggo; upang masubok ang inyong mga salita, kung may katotohanan sa inyo: o kung hindi alangalang sa buhay ni Faraon, ay tunay na mga tiktik kayo.
17 At kaniyang inilagay silang lahat na magkakasama sa bilangguan na tatlong araw.
18 At sinabi ni Jose sa kanila sa ikatlong araw, Gawin ninyo ito at mangabuhay kayo; sapagka't natatakot (I)ako sa Dios:
19 Kung kayo'y mga taong tapat, ay matira ang isa sa inyong magkakapatid na bilanggo sa bahay na pinagbilangguan sa inyo; datapuwa't kayo'y yumaon, magdala kayo ng trigo dahil sa kagutom sa inyong mga bahay:
20 (J)At dalhin ninyo sa akin ang inyong kapatid na bunso; sa ganito'y matototohanan ang inyong mga salita, at hindi kayo mangamamatay. At kanilang ginawang gayon.
21 At sila'y nagsabisabihan, (K)Katotohanang tayo'y salarin tungkol sa ating kapatid, sapagka't nakita natin ang kahapisan ng kaniyang kaluluwa, nang namamanhik sa atin, at hindi natin siya dininig; kaya't dumarating sa atin ang kahapisang ito.
22 At si Ruben ay sumagot sa kanila, na nagsasabi, Di ba nagsalita ako sa inyo, na aking sinasabi, (L)Huwag kayong magkasala laban sa bata; at ayaw kayong makinig? kaya naman, narito, ang kaniyang dugo ay (M)nagsasakdal.
23 At hindi nila nalalaman na sila'y pinakikinggan ni Jose; sapagka't may tagapagpaliwanag sa kanila.
Tinalian si Simeon.
24 At siya'y humiwalay sa kanila, at umiyak; at siya'y bumalik sa kanila, at sila'y kinausap at kinuha sa kanila si Simeon, at siya'y tinalian sa harap ng kanilang mga mata.
25 Nang magkagayo'y ipinagutos ni Jose na punuin ang kanilang mga bayong ng trigo, at ibalik ang salapi ng bawa't isa sa kanikaniyang bayong, at sila'y bigyan ng mababaon sa daan: at ginawa sa kanilang gayon.
Ang iba ay nagbalik.
26 At kanilang pinasanan ng trigo ang kanilang mga asno, at sila'y yumaon mula roon.
27 (N)At pagbubukas ng isa ng kaniyang bayong upang bigyan ng pagkain ang kaniyang asno sa tuluyan, ay nakita niya ang kaniyang salapi; at, narito, nasa labi ng kaniyang bayong.
28 At sinabi niya sa kaniyang mga kapatid, Ang salapi ko ay nasauli; at, narito, nasa aking bayong: at kumutob ang kanilang puso; at nangagtinginan na nanganginginig, na nagsasabihan, Ano itong ginawa ng Dios sa atin?
29 At sila'y dumating kay Jacob na kanilang ama sa lupain ng Canaan, at isinaysay nila sa kaniya ang lahat na nangyari sa kanila; na sinasabi:
30 Ang lalaking panginoon sa lupaing yaon ay kinausap (O)kami na magilas, at inari kaming mga tiktik sa lupain.
31 At aming sinabi sa kaniya, Kami ay mga taong tapat; hindi kami mga tiktik:
32 Kami ay labing dalawang magkakapatid, na mga anak ng aming ama; (P)ang isa'y wala na, at ang bunso ay nasa aming ama ngayon sa lupain ng Canaan.
33 At sinabi sa amin ng lalaking yaon, ng panginoon sa lupain, (Q)Dito ko makikilala na kayo'y mga taong tapat: magiwan kayo sa akin ng isa sa inyong magkakapatid, at magsipagdala kayo ng trigo dahil sa kagutom sa inyong mga bahay, at kayo'y yumaon.
34 At dalhin ninyo rito sa akin ang inyong kapatid na bunso: kung gayo'y makikilala ko, na kayo'y hindi mga tiktik, kundi kayo'y mga taong tapat: sa ganito'y isasauli ko sa inyo ang inyong kapatid (R)at kayo'y mangangalakal sa lupain.
Nakita ang salapi sa kanilang sisidlan.
35 At nangyari na pagaalis ng laman ng kanilang mga bayong, na, (S)narito, sa bayong ng bawa't isa ay nakalagay ang balot ng kanikaniyang salapi: at nang makita nila at ng kanilang ama ang kanilang mga balot ng salapi, ay nangatakot.
36 At sinabi sa kanila ng kanilang amang si Jacob, (T)Inalis na ninyo sa akin ang aking mga anak: si Jose ay wala, at si Simeon ay wala, at aalisin pa ninyo si Benjamin: lahat ng bagay na ito ay laban sa akin.
37 At nagsalita, si Ruben sa kaniyang ama, na sinasabi, Ipapatay mo ang aking dalawang anak kung siya'y hindi ko dalhin sa iyo; ibigay mo sa aking kamay, at siya'y aking ibabalik sa iyo.
38 At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi yayaon ang aking anak na kasama ninyo; (U)sapagka't ang kaniyang kapatid ay patay na, at siya lamang ang natitira; (V)kung mangyari sa kaniya ang anomang kapahamakan sa daan na inyong paroroonan, ay (W)pabababain nga ninyo ang aking mga uban sa Sheol na may kapanglawan.

Joseph’s Brothers Go to Egypt
42 When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt,(A) he said to his sons, “Why do you just keep looking at each other?” 2 He continued, “I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us,(B) so that we may live and not die.”(C)
3 Then ten of Joseph’s brothers went down to buy grain(D) from Egypt. 4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin,(E) Joseph’s brother, with the others, because he was afraid that harm might come to him.(F) 5 So Israel’s sons were among those who went to buy grain,(G) for there was famine in the land of Canaan(H) also.(I)
6 Now Joseph was the governor of the land,(J) the person who sold grain to all its people.(K) So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.(L) 7 As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger and spoke harshly to them.(M) “Where do you come from?”(N) he asked.
“From the land of Canaan,” they replied, “to buy food.”
8 Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.(O) 9 Then he remembered his dreams(P) about them and said to them, “You are spies!(Q) You have come to see where our land is unprotected.”(R)
10 “No, my lord,(S)” they answered. “Your servants have come to buy food.(T) 11 We are all the sons of one man. Your servants(U) are honest men,(V) not spies.(W)”
12 “No!” he said to them. “You have come to see where our land is unprotected.”(X)
13 But they replied, “Your servants(Y) were twelve brothers, the sons of one man, who lives in the land of Canaan.(Z) The youngest is now with our father, and one is no more.”(AA)
14 Joseph said to them, “It is just as I told you: You are spies!(AB) 15 And this is how you will be tested: As surely as Pharaoh lives,(AC) you will not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.(AD) 16 Send one of your number to get your brother;(AE) the rest of you will be kept in prison,(AF) so that your words may be tested to see if you are telling the truth.(AG) If you are not, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!(AH)” 17 And he put them all in custody(AI) for three days.
18 On the third day, Joseph said to them, “Do this and you will live, for I fear God:(AJ) 19 If you are honest men,(AK) let one of your brothers stay here in prison,(AL) while the rest of you go and take grain back for your starving households.(AM) 20 But you must bring your youngest brother to me,(AN) so that your words may be verified and that you may not die.” This they proceeded to do.
21 They said to one another, “Surely we are being punished because of our brother.(AO) We saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us for his life, but we would not listen; that’s why this distress(AP) has come on us.”
22 Reuben replied, “Didn’t I tell you not to sin against the boy?(AQ) But you wouldn’t listen! Now we must give an accounting(AR) for his blood.”(AS) 23 They did not realize(AT) that Joseph could understand them,(AU) since he was using an interpreter.
24 He turned away from them and began to weep,(AV) but then came back and spoke to them again. He had Simeon taken from them and bound before their eyes.(AW)
25 Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain,(AX) to put each man’s silver back in his sack,(AY) and to give them provisions(AZ) for their journey.(BA) After this was done for them, 26 they loaded their grain on their donkeys(BB) and left.
27 At the place where they stopped for the night one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey,(BC) and he saw his silver in the mouth of his sack.(BD) 28 “My silver has been returned,” he said to his brothers. “Here it is in my sack.”
Their hearts sank(BE) and they turned to each other trembling(BF) and said, “What is this that God has done to us?”(BG)
29 When they came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan,(BH) they told him all that had happened to them.(BI) They said, 30 “The man who is lord over the land spoke harshly to us(BJ) and treated us as though we were spying on the land.(BK) 31 But we said to him, ‘We are honest men; we are not spies.(BL) 32 We were twelve brothers, sons of one father. One is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in Canaan.’(BM)
33 “Then the man who is lord over the land said to us, ‘This is how I will know whether you are honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me, and take food for your starving households and go.(BN) 34 But bring your youngest brother to me so I will know that you are not spies but honest men.(BO) Then I will give your brother back to you,(BP) and you can trade[a] in the land.(BQ)’”
35 As they were emptying their sacks, there in each man’s sack was his pouch of silver!(BR) When they and their father saw the money pouches, they were frightened.(BS) 36 Their father Jacob said to them, “You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more and Simeon is no more,(BT) and now you want to take Benjamin.(BU) Everything is against me!(BV)”
37 Then Reuben said to his father, “You may put both of my sons to death if I do not bring him back to you. Entrust him to my care,(BW) and I will bring him back.”(BX)
38 But Jacob said, “My son will not go down there with you; his brother is dead(BY) and he is the only one left. If harm comes to him(BZ) on the journey you are taking, you will bring my gray head down to the grave(CA) in sorrow.(CB)”
