42 Por Jakobi, pasi mësoi se në Egjipt kishte grurë, u tha bijve të tij: Pse shikoni njëri-tjetrin??".
2 Pastaj tha: "Ja, dëgjova se në Egjipt ka grurë; shkoni atje poshtë për të blerë grurë për ne, që të mundim të jetojmë dhe të mos vdesim".
3 Kështu dhjetë vëllezërit e Jozefit zbritën në Egjipt për të blerë grurë.
4 Por Jakobi nuk e dërgoi Beniaminin, vëllanë e Jozefit, me vëllezërit e tij, sepse thoshte: "Të mos i ngjasë ndonjë fatkeqësi".
5 Bijtë e Izraelit arritën aty, pra, për të blerë grurë, në mes të të ardhurve të tjerë, sepse në vendin e Kanaanëve mbretëronte zija.
6 Jozefi ishte qeveritari i vendit; ai u shiste grurë tërë njerëzve të vendit; dhe vëllezërit e Jozefit erdhën dhe u përulën para tij me fytyrën për tokë.
7 Jozefi pa vëllezërit e tij dhe i njohu, por u suall me ta si një i huaj dhe përdori fjalë të ashpra me ta, duke u thënë: "Nga vini?". Ata u përgjigjën: "Nga vendi i Kanaanit për të blerë ushqime".
8 Kështu Jozefi njohu vëllezërit e tij, por ata nuk e njohën atë.
9 Atëherë Jozefit iu kujtuan ëndrrat që kishte parë rreth tyre dhe tha: Ju jeni spiunë! Keni ardhur këtu për të parë pikat e pambrojtura tëë vendit!".
10 Ata iu përgjegjën: "Jo, zotëria im; shërbëtorët e tu kanë ardhur për të blerë ushqime.
11 Jemi të gjithë bijtë e të njejtit njeri, jemi njerëz të ndershëm; shërbëtorët e tu nuk janë spiunë".
12 Por ai u tha atyre: "Jo, ju keni ardhur për të parë pikat e pambrojtura të vendit!".
13 Atëherë ata thanë: "Ne, shërbëtorët e tu, jemi dymbëdhjetë vëllezër, bij të të njëjtit njeri nga vendi i Kanaanit. Dhe ja, pra, më i riu është sot me atin tonë, dhe njeri prej tyre nuk është më".
14 Por Jozefi u tha atyre: "Çështja qëndron ashtu siç ju thashë: ju jeni spiunë!
15 Ja si do të viheni në provë: ashtu siç është e vërteta që Faraoni jeton, nuk do të dilni këtej para se vëllai juaj më i vogël të vijë këtu.
16 Dërgoni njerin prej jush të marrë vëllanë tuaj; dhe ju do të qëndroni këtu në burg, që fjalët tuaja të provohen dhe të shihet nëse thoni të vërtetën; për ndryshe, ashtu siç është e vërtetë që Faraoni jeton, ju jeni spiunë!".
17 Kështu i futi bashkë në burg për tri ditë.
18 Ditën e tretë, Jozefi u tha atyre: "Bëni këtë dhe do të jetoni; unë kam frikë nga Perëndia!
19 Në rast se jeni njerëz të ndershëm, njeri nga ju vëllezërit të rrijë i lidhur me zinxhir në burgun tonë, dhe ju shkoni t’u çoni grurë familjeve tuaja që vdesin urie;
20 pastaj më sillni vëllanë tuaj më të vogël; kështu do të vërtetohen fjalët tuaja dhe ju nuk keni për të vdekur". Dhe ata vepruan kështu.
21 Atëherë i thonin njëri-tjetrit: "Ne jemi me të vërtetë fajtorë ndaj vëllait tonë, sepse e pamë ankthin e shpirtit të tij kur ai na lutej, por nuk ia vumë veshin! Ja pse na ra kjo fatkeqësi".
22 Rubeni iu përgjegj atyre duke thënë: "A nuk ju thoja unë: "Mos kryeni këtë mëkat kundër fëmijës!"? Por ju nuk më dëgjuat. Prandaj tani na kërkohet llogari për gjakun e tij".
23 Ata nuk e dinin që Jozefi i kuptonte, sepse midis tij dhe atyre kishte një përkthyes.
24 Atëherë ai u largua nga ata dhe qau. Pastaj u kthye pranë tyre dhe u foli; mori Simeonin dhe vuri ta lidhnin me zinxhir para syve të tyre.
25 Pastaj Jozefi urdhëroi të mbushnin me grurë thasët e tyre, të vendosnin paratë e secilit në trastën e tij dhe t’u jepnin ushqime për udhëtimin. Dhe kështu u bë.
26 Ata ngarkuan, pra, grurin mbi gomarët e tyre dhe u larguan.
27 Tani, në vendin ku po kalonin natën, njëri prej tyre hapi trastën e vet për t’i dhënë ushqim gomarit të tij dhe pa aty brenda paratë e veta, që ishin në grykë të trastës;
28 kështu iu drejtua vëllezërve të tij: "Paratë e mia m’u rikthyen; ja ku janë në trastën time". Atëherë, zemërvrarë dhe të trembur, i thonin njëri-tjetrit: "Ç’është vallë kjo që na bëri Perëndia?".
29 Kështu arritën te Jakobi, ati i tyre, në vendin e Kanaanit dhe i treguan të gjitha ato që kishin ndodhur, duke thënë:
30 "Njeriu, që është zot i vendit, na foli ashpër dhe na trajtoi si spiunë të vendit.
31 Dhe ne i thamë: "Jemi njerëz të ndershëm, nuk jemi spiunë;
32 jemi dymbëdhjetë vëllezër, bij të atit tonë; njëri nuk është më dhe më i riu ndodhet sot me atin tonë në vendin e Kanaanit".
33 Por ai njeri, zoti i vendit, na tha: "Nga kjo do të provoj nëse jeni njerëz të ndershëm: lini pranë meje një prej vëllezërve tuaj, merrni me vete ushqime për familjen tuaj që po vdes nga uria dhe shkoni;
34 pastaj më sillni vëllanë tuaj më të vogël. Kështu do të provoj që nuk jeni spiunë, por njerëz të ndershëm; unë do t’ju kthej vëllanë tuaj dhe ju do të keni mundësi të bëni tregëti këtu"".
35 Ndërsa ata po zbraznin trastat e tyre, ja që pakot e parave të secilit ishin në trastën e secilit; kështu ata dhe ati i tyre i panë pakot e parave të tyre dhe i zuri frika.
36 Atëherë Jakobi, ati i tyre, tha: "Ju më keni lënë pa bijtë e mi! Jozefi nuk është më, Simeoni nuk është më, dhe doni të më hiqni edhe Beniaminin! E tërë kjo rëndon mbi mua!".
37 Rubeni i tha të atit: "Po nuk ta ktheva, urdhëro të vriten dy bijtë e mi. Besoma mua, unë do të ta kthej".
38 Por Jakobi u përgjigj: "Biri im nuk ka për të zbritur me ju, sepse vëllai i tij vdiq dhe mbeti vetëm ky: po t’i ndodhte ndonjë fatkeqësi gjatë udhëtimit, do të kallnit në varr pleqërinë time të dhembshme".

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)”

42 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
11 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
17 And he put them all together into ward three days.
18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
21 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth.
28 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
30 The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
31 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
32 We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
33 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
34 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.
35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
37 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
38 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
