创世记 43
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
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。

Benjamin reser till Josef
43 Men svälten var fruktansvärd i landet. 2 När säden som de hade fört med sig från Egypten var slut, sa fadern till dem: ”Res dit igen och köp lite mat åt oss!”
3 Men Juda[a] sa till honom: ”Mannen menade allvar när han sa: ’Kom inte tillbaka till mig igen utan er bror!’ 4 Låter du vår bror följa med oss, så reser vi för att köpa säd åt dig. 5 Men om du inte låter honom följa med, kan vi inte resa. Mannen sa ju till oss att vi inte fick komma tillbaka till honom utan vår bror.”
6 ”Varför gjorde ni detta mot mig att ni berättade att ni hade en bror till?” sa Israel. 7 ”Mannen frågade noga om vår familj”, svarade de. ”Han ville veta om vår far fortfarande levde, och han frågade om vi hade ytterligare någon bror, och därför berättade vi det för honom. Hur kunde vi veta att han skulle säga: ’För hit er bror?’ ”
8 Juda sa till sin far: ”Skicka pojken med mig, så att vi kan ge oss av och så får överleva, annars kommer vi att dö av svält allihop, både vi och våra barn. 9 Jag garanterar hans trygghet. Du får hålla mig personligen ansvarig för honom. Om jag inte för honom tillbaka, så bär jag skulden inför dig resten av livet. 10 Hade vi inte dröjt så här, skulle vi redan ha hunnit tillbaka för andra gången.”
11 Till slut sa deras far Israel till dem: ”Om det inte går att undvika så gör så här: ta landets bästa produkter i era säckar som gåva åt den där mannen, lite balsam, lite honung, dragantgummi, myrra, pistagenötter och mandlar. [b] 12 Ta med er dubbelt så mycket pengar, så att ni kan betala tillbaka det som fanns i säckarna, eftersom det förmodligen berodde på ett misstag, 13 och ta er bror och res iväg. 14 Måtte Gud den Väldige låta mannen visa barmhärtighet mot er, så att han låter er andre bror och Benjamin följa med er tillbaka! Men om jag måste förlora mina barn, så får det bli som det blir.”
15 Då tog de med sig gåvorna och dubbelt så mycket pengar som förra gången och även sin bror Benjamin. De skyndade sig att komma fram till Egypten, där de fick träda fram inför Josef.
16 När Josef såg att Benjamin var med dem, sa han till sin närmaste man: ”Ta med dessa män hem till mig, slakta djur och laga maten, för de ska äta middag tillsammans med mig.” 17 Mannen gjorde som han blev tillsagd och tog dem med sig till Josefs hus.
18 Bröderna blev rädda när de fördes dit. ”Det är för att pengarna låg i säckarna förra gången som vi nu förs hit”, tänkte de. ”Nu kommer han att anfalla oss och övermanna oss. Sedan kommer han att göra oss till slavar och ta våra åsnor.”
19 De gick fram till Josefs närmaste man vid ingången till Josefs hus och talade till honom: 20 ”Hör på oss, herre. När vi hade varit här första gången för att köpa mat, 21 stannade vi över natten på vägen och öppnade våra säckar. Då fann vi att alla pengarna som vi betalt för säden låg överst i säckarna. Här är de. Vi har tagit dem med oss tillbaka, 22 tillsammans med ytterligare pengar för att köpa säd. Vi vet inte vem som kan ha lagt pengarna i säckarna.” 23 ”Oroa er inte för det”, sa Josefs närmaste man till dem. ”Ni behöver inte vara rädda. Er Gud, er fars Gud har gett er en skatt i era säckar. Jag fick betalt för säden.”
Sedan förde mannen ut Simon till dem. 24 Mannen visade dem in i huset, och de fick vatten att tvätta fötterna med, och deras åsnor fick foder. 25 De tog sedan fram sina gåvor till Josef som skulle komma vid middagstiden, för de hade fått veta att de skulle äta där. 26 När Josef kom hem, gav de honom gåvorna som de fört med sig till huset och bugade sig djupt inför honom.
27 Han frågade hur de hade haft det och tillade: ”Och hur mår er gamle far, som ni berättade om? Lever han fortfarande?” 28 ”Ja”, svarade de. ”Vår far, din tjänare, lever och mår bra.” Sedan bugade de sig djupt inför honom igen.
29 Josef såg på sin bror, sin mors son Benjamin och frågade: ”Är det här er yngste bror, som ni berättade om? Måtte Gud vara nådig mot dig, min son!” 30 Sedan gick Josef snabbt ut därifrån, för han överväldigades av kärlek till sin bror och blev tvungen att hitta ett ställe där han kunde gråta. Han gick till sitt privata rum och grät där. 31 Sedan tvättade han ansiktet och kom ut och försökte behärska sig och befallde att maten skulle serveras.
32 Josef åt för sig själv, hans bröder serverades vid ett annat bord och egypterna vid ännu ett annat. Egypterna kunde nämligen inte äta tillsammans med hebréer, för det skulle ha varit avskyvärt för dem. 33 Bröderna satt mitt emot Josef i åldersordning, från den äldste till den yngste. De såg förvånade på varandra.
34 Maten serverades åt dem från hans eget bord. Han gav den största portionen till Benjamin – fem gånger så mycket som till någon av de andra. De åt och drack glatt tillsammans.

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.

Genesis 43
King James Version
43 And the famine was sore in the land.
2 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 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 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
5 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 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
7 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 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 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 For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
11 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 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 Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
14 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 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 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 And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
18 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 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
20 And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
21 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 And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
23 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 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 And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
26 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 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 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 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 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 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
32 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 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 And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of their's. And they drank, and were merry with him.
