| 1 | Joseph donna cet ordre à l'intendant de sa maison : Remplis de vivres les sacs de ces gens, autant qu'ils en pourront porter, et mets l'argent de chacun à l'entrée de son sac. | And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth. | And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men`s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man`s money in his sack`s mouth. |
| 2 | Tu mettras aussi ma coupe, la coupe d'argent, à l'entrée du sac du plus jeune, avec l'argent de son blé. L'intendant fit ce que Joseph lui avait ordonné. | And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. | And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack`s mouth of the youngest, and his grain money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. |
| 3 | Le matin, dès qu'il fit jour, on renvoya ces gens avec leur ânes. | As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses. | As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses. |
| 4 | Ils étaient sortis de la ville, et ils n'en étaient guère éloignés, lorsque Joseph dit à son intendant : Lève-toi, poursuis ces gens ; et, quand tu les auras atteints, tu leur diras : Pourquoi avez-vous rendu le mal pour le bien ? | And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good? | [And] when they were gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good? |
| 5 | N'avez-vous pas la coupe dans laquelle boit mon seigneur, et dont il se sert pour deviner ? Vous avez mal fait d'agir ainsi. | Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing. | Is not this that in which my lord drinketh, and whereby he indeed divineth? ye have done evil in so doing. |
| 6 | L'intendant les atteignit, et leur dit ces mêmes paroles. | And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words. | And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these words. |
| 7 | Ils lui répondirent : Pourquoi mon seigneur parle-t-il de la sorte ? Dieu préserve tes serviteurs d'avoir commis une telle action ! | And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing: | And they said unto him, Wherefore speaketh my lord such words as these? Far be it from thy servants that they should do such a thing. |
| 8 | Voici, nous t'avons rapporté du pays de Canaan l'argent que nous avons trouvé à l'entrée de nos sacs ; comment aurions-nous dérobé de l'argent ou de l'or dans la maison de ton seigneur ? | Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold? | Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks` mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord`s house silver or gold? |
| 9 | Que celui de tes serviteurs sur qui se trouvera la coupe meure, et que nous soyons nous-mêmes esclaves de mon seigneur ! | With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen. | With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord`s bondmen. |
| 10 | Il dit : Qu'il en soit donc selon vos paroles ! Celui sur qui se trouvera la coupe sera mon esclave ; et vous, vous serez innocents. | And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless. | And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my bondman; and ye shall be blameless. |
| 11 | Aussitôt, chacun descendit son sac à terre, et chacun ouvrit son sac. | Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack. | Then they hasted, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack. |
| 12 | L'intendant les fouilla, commençant par le plus âgé et finissant par le plus jeune ; et la coupe fut trouvée dans le sac de Benjamin. | And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack. | And he searched, [and] began at the eldest, and left off at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin`s sack. |
| 13 | Ils déchirèrent leurs vêtements, chacun rechargea son âne, et ils retournèrent à la ville. | Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city. | Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city. |
| 14 | Juda et ses frères arrivèrent à la maison de Joseph, où il était encore, et ils se prosternèrent en terre devant lui. | And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground. | And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph`s house; and he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground. |
| 15 | Joseph leur dit : Quelle action avez-vous faite ? Ne savez-vous pas qu'un homme comme moi a le pouvoir de deviner ? | And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine? | And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? know ye not that such a man as I can indeed divine? |
| 16 | Juda répondit : Que dirons-nous à mon seigneur ? comment parlerons-nous ? comment nous justifierons-nous ? Dieu a trouvé l'iniquité de tes serviteurs. Nous voici esclaves de mon seigneur, nous, et celui sur qui s'est trouvée la coupe. | And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found. | And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord`s bondmen, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found. |
| 17 | Et Joseph dit : Dieu me garde de faire cela ! L'homme sur qui la coupe a été trouvée sera mon esclave ; mais vous, remontez en paix vers votre père. | And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father. | And he said, Far be it from me that I should do so: the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, get you up in peace unto your father. |
| 18 | Alors Juda s'approcha de Joseph, et dit : De grâce, mon seigneur, que ton serviteur puisse faire entendre une parole à mon seigneur, et que sa colère ne s'enflamme point contre ton serviteur ! car tu es comme Pharaon. | Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh. | Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh, my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord`s ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant; for thou art even as Pharaoh. |
| 19 | Mon seigneur a interrogé ses serviteurs, en disant : Avez-vous un père, ou un frère ? | My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother? | My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother? |
| 20 | Nous avons répondu : Nous avons un vieux père, et un jeune frère, enfant de sa vieillesse ; cet enfant avait un frère qui est mort, et qui était de la même mère ; il reste seul, et son père l'aime. | And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him. | And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loveth him. |
| 21 | Tu as dit à tes serviteurs : Faites-le descendre vers moi, et que je le voie de mes propres yeux. | And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. | And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. |
| 22 | Nous avons répondu à mon seigneur : L'enfant ne peut pas quitter son père ; s'il le quitte, son père mourra. | And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die. | And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die. |
| 23 | Tu as dit à tes serviteurs : Si votre jeune frère ne descend pas avec vous, vous ne reverrez pas ma face. | And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more. | And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more. |
| 24 | Lorsque nous sommes remontés auprès de ton serviteur, mon père, nous lui avons rapporté les paroles de mon seigneur. | And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. | And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. |
| 25 | Notre père a dit : Retournez, achetez-nous un peu de vivres. | And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food. | And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food. |
| 26 | Nous avons répondu : Nous ne pouvons pas descendre ; mais, si notre jeune frère est avec nous, nous descendrons, car nous ne pouvons pas voir la face de cet homme, à moins que notre jeune frère ne soit avec nous. | And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us. | And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man`s face, expect our youngest brother be with us. |
| 27 | Ton serviteur, notre père, nous a dit : Vous savez que ma femme m'a enfanté deux fils. | And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons: | And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons: |
| 28 | L'un étant sorti de chez moi, je pense qu'il a été sans doute déchiré, car je ne l'ai pas revu jusqu'à présent. | And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since: | and the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him since: |
| 29 | Si vous me prenez encore celui-ci, et qu'il lui arrive un malheur, vous ferez descendre mes cheveux blancs avec douleur dans le séjour des morts. | And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. | and if ye take this one also from me, and harm befall him, ye will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol. |
| 30 | Maintenant, si je retourne auprès de ton serviteur, mon père, sans avoir avec nous l'enfant à l'âme duquel son âme est attachée, | Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life; | Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad`s life; |
| 31 | il mourra, en voyant que l'enfant n'y est pas ; et tes serviteurs feront descendre avec douleur dans le séjour des morts les cheveux blancs de ton serviteur, notre père. | It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. | it will come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not [with us], that he will die: and thy servants will bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. |
| 32 | Car ton serviteur a répondu pour l'enfant, en disant à mon père : Si je ne le ramène pas auprès de toi, je serai pour toujours coupable envers mon père. | For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever. | For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I bear the blame to my father for ever. |
| 33 | Permets donc, je te prie, à ton serviteur de rester à la place de l'enfant, comme esclave de mon seigneur ; et que l'enfant remonte avec ses frères. | Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren. | Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren. |
| 34 | Comment pourrai-je remonter vers mon père, si l'enfant n'est pas avec moi ? Ah ! que je ne voie point l'affliction de mon père ! | For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father. | For how shall I go up to my father, if the lad be not with me? lest I see the evil that shall come on my father. |
