1 And Jacob hearing that food was sold in Egypt, said to his sons: Why are ye careless?
1 Y VIENDO Jacob que en Egipto había alimentos, dijo á sus hijos: ¿Por qué os estáis mirando?
1 Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
2 I have heard that wheat is sold in Egypt: go ye down, and buy us necessaries, that we may live, and not be consumed with want.
2 Y dijo: He aquí, yo he oído que hay víveres en Egipto; descended allá, y comprad de allí para nosotros, para que podamos vivir, y no nos muramos.
2 He said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there, and buy for us from there, so that we may live, and not die.”
3 So the ten brethren of Joseph went down, to buy corn in Egypt:
3 Y descendieron los diez hermanos de José á comprar trigo á Egipto.
3 Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
4 Whilst Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brethren: Lest perhaps he take any harm in the journey.
4 Mas Jacob no envió á Benjamín hermano de José con sus hermanos; porque dijo: No sea acaso que le acontezca algún desastre.
4 But Jacob didn’t send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brothers; for he said, “Lest perhaps harm happen to him.”
5 And they entered into the land of Egypt with others that went to buy. For the famine was in the land of Chanaan.
5 Y vinieron los hijos de Israel á comprar entre los que venían: porque había hambre en la tierra de Canaán.
5 The sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6 And Joseph was governor in the land of Egypt, and corn was sold by his direction to the people. And when his brethren had bowed down to him,
6 Y José era el señor de la tierra, que vendía á todo el pueblo de la tierra: y llegaron los hermanos de José, é inclináronse á él rostro por tierra.
6 Joseph was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph’s brothers came, and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the earth.
7 And he knew them, he spoke as it were to strangers somewhat roughly, asking them: Whence came you? They answered: From the land of Chanaan, to buy necessaries of life.
7 Y José como vió á sus hermanos, conociólos; mas hizo que no los conocía, y hablóles ásperamente, y les dijo: ¿De dónde habéis venido? Ellos respondieron: De la tierra de Canaán á comprar alimentos.
7 Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but acted like a stranger to them, and spoke roughly with them. He said to them, “Where did you come from?” They said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.”
8 And though he knew his brethren, he was not known by them.
8 José, pues, conoció á sus hermanos; pero ellos no le conocieron.
8 Joseph recognized his brothers, but they didn’t recognize him.
9 And remembering the dreams, which formerly he had dreamed, he said to them: You are spies. You are come to view the weaker parts of the land.
9 Entonces se acordó José de los sueños que había tenido de ellos, y díjoles: Espías sois; por ver lo descubierto del país habéis venido.
9 Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
10 But they said: It is not so, my lord, but thy servants are come to buy food.
10 Y ellos le respondieron: No, señor mío: mas tus siervos han venido á comprar alimentos.
10 They said to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.
11 We are all the sons of one man: we are come as peaceable men, neither do thy servants go about any evil.
11 Todos nosotros somos hijos de un varón: somos hombres de verdad: tus siervos nunca fueron espías.
11 We are all one man’s sons; we are honest men. Your servants are not spies.”
12 And he answered them: It is otherwise: you are come to consider the unfenced parts of this land.
12 Y él les dijo: No; á ver lo descubierto del país habéis venido.
12 He said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land!”
13 But they said: We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Chanaan: the youngest is with our father, the other is not living.
13 Y ellos respondieron: Tus siervos somos doce hermanos, hijos de un varón en la tierra de Canaán; y he aquí el menor está hoy con nuestro padre, y otro no parece.
13 They said, “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is today with our father, and one is no more.”
14 He saith: This is it that I said: You are spies.
14 Y José les dijo: Eso es lo que os he dicho, afirmando que sois espías:
14 Joseph said to them, “It is like I told you, saying, ‘You are spies!’
15 I shall now presently try what you are: by the health of Pharao you shall not depart hence, until your youngest brother come.
15 En esto seréis probados: Vive Faraón que no saldréis de aquí, sino cuando vuestro hermano menor aquí viniere.
15 By this you shall be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go out from here, unless your youngest brother comes here.
16 Send one of you to fetch him: and you shall be in prison, till what you have said be proved, whether it be true or false: or else by the health of Pharao you are spies.
16 Enviad uno de vosotros, y traiga á vuestro hermano; y vosotros quedad presos, y vuestras palabras serán probadas, si hay verdad con vosotros: y si no, vive Faraón, que sois espías.
16 Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you shall be bound, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you, or else by the life of Pharaoh surely you are spies.”
17 So he put them in prison three days.
17 Y juntólos en la cárcel por tres días.
17 He put them all together into custody for three days.
18 And the third day he brought them out of prison, and said: Do as I have said, and you shall live: for I fear God.
18 Y al tercer día díjoles José: Haced esto, y vivid: Yo temo á Dios:
18 Joseph said to them the third day, “Do this, and live, for I fear God.
19 If you be peaceable men, let one of your brethren be bound in prison: and go ye your ways and carry the corn that you have bought, unto your houses.
19 Si sois hombres de verdad, quede preso en la casa de vuestra cárcel uno de vuestros hermanos; y vosotros id, llevad el alimento para el hambre de vuestra casa:
19 If you are honest men, then let one of your brothers be bound in your prison; but you go, carry grain for the famine of your houses.
20 And bring your youngest brother to me, that I may find your words to be true, and you may not die. They did as he had said.
20 Pero habéis de traerme á vuestro hermano menor, y serán verificadas vuestras palabras, y no moriréis. Y ellos lo hicieron así.
20 Bring your youngest brother to me; so will your words be verified, and you won’t die.” They did so.
21 And they talked one to another: We deserve to suffer these things, because we have sinned against our brother, seeing the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear: therefore is this affliction come upon us.
21 Y decían el uno al otro: Verdaderamente hemos pecado contra nuestro hermano, que vimos la angustia de su alma cuando nos rogaba, y no le oímos: por eso ha venido sobre nosotros esta angustia.
21 They said to one another, “We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us, and we wouldn’t listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us.”
22 And Ruben one of them, said: Did not I say to you: Do not sin against the boy: and you would not hear me? Behold his blood is required.
22 Entonces Rubén les respondió, diciendo: ¿No os hablé yo y dije: No pequéis contra el mozo; y no escuchasteis? He aquí también su sangre es requerida.
22 Reuben answered them, saying, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘Don’t sin against the child,’ and you wouldn’t listen? Therefore also, behold, his blood is required.”
23 And they knew not that Joseph understood, because he spoke to them by an interpreter.
23 Y ellos no sabían que los entendía José, porque había intérprete entre ellos.
23 They didn’t know that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.
24 And he turned himself away a little while, and wept: and returning he spoke to them.
24 Y apartóse él de ellos, y lloró: después volvió á ellos, y les habló, y tomó de entre ellos á Simeón, y aprisionóle á vista de ellos.
24 He turned himself away from them, and wept. Then he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes.
25 And taking Simeon, and binding him in their presence, he commanded his servants to fill their sacks with wheat, and to put every man’s money again in their sacks, and to give them besides provisions for the way: and they did so.
25 Y mandó José que llenaran sus sacos de trigo, y devolviesen el dinero de cada uno de ellos, poniéndolo en su saco, y les diesen comida para el camino: é hízose así con ellos.
25 Then Joseph gave a command to fill their bags with grain, and to restore each man’s money into his sack, and to give them food for the way. So it was done to them.
26 But they having loaded their asses with the corn, went their way.
26 Y ellos pusieron su trigo sobre sus asnos, y fuéronse de allí.
26 They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.
27 And one of them opening his sack, to give his beast provender in the inn, saw the money in the sack’s mouth;
27 Y abriendo uno de ellos su saco para dar de comer á su asno en el mesón, vió su dinero que estaba en la boca de su costal.
27 As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food in the lodging place, he saw his money. Behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
28 And said to his brethren: My money is given me again, behold it is in the sack. And they were astonished, and troubled, and said to one another: What is this that God hath done unto us?
28 Y dijo á sus hermanos: Mi dinero se me ha devuelto, y aun helo aquí en mi saco. Sobresaltóseles entonces el corazón, y espantados dijeron el uno al otro: ¿Qué es esto que nos ha hecho Dios?
28 He said to his brothers, “My money is restored! Behold, it is in my sack!” Their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29 And they came to Jacob their father in the land of Chanaan, and they told him all things that had befallen them, saying:
29 Y venidos á Jacob su padre en tierra de Canaán, contáronle todo lo que les había acaecido, diciendo:
29 They came to Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened to them, saying,
30 The lord of the land spoke roughly to us, and took us to be spies of the country.
30 Aquel varón, señor de la tierra, nos habló ásperamente, y nos trató como á espías de la tierra:
30 “The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country.
31 And we answered him: We are peaceable men, and we mean no plot.
31 Y nosotros le dijimos: Somos hombres de verdad, nunca fuimos espías:
31 We said to him, ‘We are honest men. We are no spies.
32 We are twelve brethren born of one father: one is not living, the youngest is with our father in the land of Chanaan.
32 Somos doce hermanos, hijos de nuestro padre; uno no parece, y el menor está hoy con nuestro padre en la tierra de Canaán.
32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is today with our father in the land of Canaan.’
33 And he said to us: Hereby shall I know that you are peaceable men: Leave one of your brethren with me, and take ye necessary provision for your houses, and go your ways.
33 Y aquel varón, señor de la tierra, nos dijo: En esto conoceré que sois hombres de verdad; dejad conmigo uno de vuestros hermanos, y tomad para el hambre de vuestras casas, y andad,
33 The man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your houses, and go your way.
34 And bring your youngest brother to me, that I may know you are not spies: and you may receive this man again, that is kept in prison: and afterwards may have leave to buy what you will.
34 Y traedme á vuestro hermano el menor, para que yo sepa que no sois espías, sino hombres de verdad: [así] os daré á vuestro hermano, y negociaréis en la tierra.
34 Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and you shall trade in the land.’”
35 When they had told this, they poured out their corn and every man found his money tied in the mouth of his sack: and all being astonished together,
35 Y aconteció que vaciando ellos sus sacos, he aquí que en el saco de cada uno estaba el atado de su dinero: y viendo ellos y su padre los atados de su dinero, tuvieron temor.
35 As they emptied their sacks, behold, each man’s bundle of money was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid.
36 Their father Jacob said: You have made me to be without children: Joseph is not living, Simeon is kept in bonds, and Benjamin you will take away: all these evils are fallen upon me.
36 Entonces su padre Jacob les dijo: Habéisme privado de mis hijos; José no parece, ni Simeón tampoco, y á Benjamín le llevaréis: contra mí son todas estas cosas.
36 Jacob, their father, said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children! Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.”
37 And Ruben answered him: Kill my two sons if I bring him not again to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will restore him to thee.
37 Y Rubén habló á su padre, diciendo: Harás morir á mis dos hijos, si no te lo volviere; entrégalo en mi mano, que yo lo volveré á ti.
37 Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “Kill my two sons, if I don’t bring him to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him to you again.”
38 But he said: My son shall not go down with you: his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if any mischief befall him in the land to which you go, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to hell.
38 Y él dijo: No descenderá mi hijo con vosotros; que su hermano es muerto, y él solo ha quedado: y si le aconteciere [algún] desastre en el camino por donde vais, haréis descender mis canas con dolor á la sepultura.
38 He said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm happens to him along the way in which you go, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.”
