30 “Now therefore, when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us, since (A)his life is bound up in the lad’s life, 31 it will happen, when he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die.

30 So now, when I come to your servant, my father, and the boy is not with us—since [a](A)our father’s life is so attached to the boy’s life— 31 when he sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. So your servants will (B)bring the gray hair of your servant, our father, down to Sheol in sorrow. 32 For your servant (C)accepted responsibility for the boy from my father, saying, ‘If I do not bring him back to you, then [b]my father can let me take the blame forever.’

30 Ahora pues, cuando yo vuelva a mi padre, tu siervo, y el muchacho no esté con nosotros, como su vida[a] está ligada a la vida del muchacho[b](A), 31 sucederá que cuando él vea que el muchacho no está con nosotros, morirá. Así pues, tus siervos harán descender las canas de nuestro padre, tu siervo, con dolor al Seol(B). 32 Porque yo, tu siervo, me hice responsable[c] del muchacho con mi padre, diciendo: «Si no te lo traigo, que lleve yo la culpa[d] delante de mi padre para siempre[e](C)».
