LSV Literal Standard Version

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And he commands him who [is] over his house, saying, “Fill the bags of the men [with] food, as they are able to carry, and put the money of each in the mouth of his bag;

1 Y MANDÓ José al mayordomo de su casa, diciendo: Hinche los costales de aquestos varones de alimentos, cuanto pudieren llevar, y pon el dinero de cada uno en la boca de su costal:

2 and my cup, the silver cup, you put in the mouth of the bag of the young one, and his grain-money”; and he does according to the word of Joseph which he has spoken.

2 Y pondrás mi copa, la copa de plata, en la boca del costal del menor, con el dinero de su trigo. Y él hizo como dijo José.

3 The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their donkeys—

3 Venida la mañana, los hombres fueron despedidos con sus asnos.

4 they have gone out of the city—they have not gone far off—and Joseph has said to him who [is] over his house, “Rise, pursue after the men; and you have overtaken them, and you have said to them: Why have you repaid evil for good?

4 Habiendo ellos salido de la ciudad, [de la] que aun no se habían alejado, dijo José á su mayordomo: Levántate, y sigue á esos hombres; y cuando los alcanzares, diles: ¿Por qué habéis vuelto mal por bien?

5 Is this not that with which my lord drinks? And he observes diligently with it; you have done evil [in] that which you have done.”

5 ¿No es ésta en la que bebe mi señor, y por la que suele adivinar? habéis hecho mal en lo que hicisteis.

6 And he overtakes them, and speaks to them these words,

6 Y como él los alcanzó, díjoles estas palabras.

7 and they say to him, “Why does my lord speak according to these words? Far be it from your servants to do according to this word;

7 Y ellos le respondieron: ¿Por qué dice mi señor tales cosas? Nunca tal hagan tus siervos.

8 behold, the money which we found in the mouth of our bags we brought back to you from the land of Canaan, and how do we steal from the house of your lord silver or gold?

8 He aquí, el dinero que hallamos en la boca de nuestros costales, te lo volvimos á traer desde la tierra de Canaán; ¿cómo, pues, habíamos de hurtar de casa de tu señor plata ni oro?

9 With whomsoever of your servants it is found, he has died, and we also are to my lord for servants.”

9 Aquel de tus siervos en quien fuere hallada [la copa], que muera, y aun nosotros seremos siervos de mi señor.

10 And he says, “Now also, according to your words, so it [is]; he with whom it is found becomes my servant, and you are acquitted”;

10 Y él dijo: También ahora sea conforme á vuestras palabras; aquél en quien se hallare, será mi siervo, y vosotros seréis sin culpa.

11 and they hurry and take down each his bag to the earth, and each opens his bag;

11 Ellos entonces se dieron prisa, y derribando cada uno su costal en tierra, abrió cada cual el costal suyo.

12 and he searches—at the eldest he has begun, and at the youngest he has completed—and the cup is found in the bag of Benjamin;

12 Y buscó; desde el mayor comenzó, y acabó en el menor; y la copa fué hallada en el costal de Benjamín.

13 and they tear their garments, and each loads his donkey, and they return to the city.

13 Entonces ellos rasgaron sus vestidos, y cargó cada uno su asno, y volvieron á la ciudad.

14 And Judah and his brothers come to the house of Joseph, and he is yet there, and they fall to the earth before him;

14 Y llegó Judá con sus hermanos á casa de José, que aun estaba allí, y postráronse delante de él en tierra.

15 and Joseph says to them, “What [is] this deed that you have done? Have you not known that a man like me diligently observes?”

15 Y díjoles José: ¿Qué obra es esta que habéis hecho? ¿no sabéis que un hombre como yo sabe adivinar?

16 And Judah says, “What do we say to my lord? What do we speak? And how do we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we [are] servants to my lord, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found”;

16 Entonces dijo Judá: ¿Qué diremos á mi señor? ¿qué hablaremos? ¿ó con qué nos justificaremos? Dios ha hallado la maldad de tus siervos: he aquí, nosotros somos siervos de mi señor, nosotros, y también aquél en cuyo poder fué hallada la copa.

17 and he says, “Far be it from me to do this; the man in whose hand the cup has been found, he becomes my servant; and you, go up in peace to your father.”

17 Y él respondió: Nunca yo tal haga: el varón en cuyo poder fué hallada la copa, él será mi siervo; vosotros id en paz á vuestro padre.

18 And Judah comes near to him and says, “O my lord, please let your servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not let your anger burn against your servant—for you are as Pharaoh.

18 Entonces Judá se llegó á él, y dijo: Ay señor mío, ruégote que hable tu siervo una palabra en oídos de mi señor, y no se encienda tu enojo contra tu siervo, pues que tú eres como Faraón.

19 My lord has asked his servants, saying, Do you have a father or brother?

19 Mi señor preguntó á sus siervos, diciendo: ¿Tenéis padre ó hermano?

20 And we say to my lord, We have a father, an aged one, and a child of old age, a little one; and his brother died, and he is left alone of his mother, and his father has loved him.

20 Y nosotros respondimos á mi señor: Tenemos un padre anciano, y un mozo que le nació en su vejez, pequeño [aún]; y un hermano suyo murió, y él quedó solo de su madre, y su padre lo ama.

21 And you say to your servants, Bring him down to me, and I set my eye on him;

21 Y tú dijiste á tus siervos: Traédmelo, y pondré mis ojos sobre él.

22 and we say to my lord, The youth is not able to leave his father, when he has left his father, then he has died;

22 Y nosotros dijimos á mi señor: El mozo no puede dejar á su padre, porque si le dejare, su padre morirá.

23 and you say to your servants, If your young brother does not come down with you, you do not add to see my face.

23 Y dijiste á tus siervos: Si vuestro hermano menor no descendiere con vosotros, no veáis más mi rostro.

24 And it comes to pass, that we have come up to your servant my father, that we declare to him the words of my lord;

24 Aconteció pues, que como llegamos á mi padre tu siervo, contámosle las palabras de mi señor.

25 and our father says, Return, buy for us a little food,

25 Y dijo nuestro padre: Volved á comprarnos un poco de alimento.

26 and we say, We are not able to go down; if our young brother is with us, then we have gone down; for we are not able to see the man’s face, and our young brother not with us.

26 Y nosotros respondimos: No podemos ir: si nuestro hermano fuere con nosotros, iremos; porque no podemos ver el rostro del varón, no estando con nosotros nuestro hermano el menor.

27 And your servant my father says to us, You have known that my wife bore two to me,

27 Entonces tu siervo mi padre nos dijo: Vosotros sabéis que dos me parió mi mujer;

28 and one goes out from me, and I say, Surely he is torn—torn! And I have not seen him since;

28 Y el uno salió de conmigo, y pienso de cierto que fué despedazado, y hasta ahora no le he visto;

29 when you have taken also this from my presence, and harm has met him, then you have brought down my grey hairs with evil to Sheol.

29 Y si tomareis también éste de delante de mí, y le aconteciere [algún] desastre, haréis descender mis canas con dolor á la sepultura.

30 And now, at my coming to your servant my father, and the youth not with us (and his soul is bound up in his soul),

30 Ahora, pues, cuando llegare yo á tu siervo mi padre, y el mozo no fuere conmigo, como su alma está ligada al alma de él,

31 then it has come to pass, when he sees that the youth is not, that he has died, and your servants have brought down the grey hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol;

31 Sucederá que cuando no vea al mozo, morirá: y tus siervos harán descender las canas de tu siervo nuestro padre con dolor á la sepultura.

32 for your servant obtained the youth by guarantee to my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you—then I have sinned against my father all the days.

32 Como tu siervo salió por fiador del mozo con mi padre, diciendo: Si no te lo volviere, entonces yo seré culpable para mi padre todos los días;

33 And now, please let your servant abide instead of the youth [as] a servant to my lord, and the youth goes up with his brothers,

33 Ruégote por tanto que quede ahora tu siervo por el mozo por siervo de mi señor, y que el mozo vaya con sus hermanos.

34 for how do I go up to my father, and the youth not with me? Lest I look on the evil which finds my father.”

34 Porque ¿cómo iré yo á mi padre sin el mozo? No podré, por no ver el mal que sobrevendrá á mi padre.
