Gn 44 (King James)

¹ 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 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.
³ As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
⁴ 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?
⁵ Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
⁶ And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
⁷ And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
⁸ 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 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
¹⁰ 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.
¹¹ Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
¹² And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
¹³ Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
¹⁴ And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
¹⁵ 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?
¹⁶ 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.
¹⁷ 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.
¹⁸ 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 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
²⁰ 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 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
²² And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
²³ And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
²⁴ And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
²⁵ And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
²⁶ 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.
²⁷ And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
²⁸ And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
²⁹ And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
³⁰ 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;
³¹ 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.
³² 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.
³³ 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.
³⁴ 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.

Gn 44 (Vulgate)

¹ Præcepit autem Joseph dispensatori domus suæ, dicens : Imple saccos eorum frumento, quantum possunt capere : et pone pecuniam singulorum in summitate sacci.
² Scyphum autem meum argenteum, et pretium quod dedit tritici, pone in ore sacci junioris. Factumque est ita.
³ Et orto mane, dimissi sunt cum asinis suis.
⁴ Jamque urbem exierant, et processerant paululum : tunc Joseph accersito dispensatore domus, Surge, inquit, et persequere viros : et apprehensis dicito : Quare reddidistis malum pro bono ?
⁵ scyphus, quem furati estis, ipse est in quo bibit dominus meus, et in quo augurari solet : pessimam rem fecistis.
⁶ Fecit ille ut jusserat : et apprehensis per ordinem locutus est.
⁷ Qui responderunt : Quare sic loquitur dominus noster, ut servi tui tantum flagitii commiserint ?
⁸ pecuniam, quam invenimus in summitate saccorum, reportavimus ad te de terra Chanaan : et quomodo consequens est ut furati simus de domo domini tui aurum vel argentum ?
⁹ apud quemcumque fuerit inventum servorum tuorum quod quæris, moriatur, et nos erimus servi domini nostri.
¹⁰ Qui dixit eis : Fiat juxta vestram sententiam : apud quemcumque fuerit inventum, ipse sit servus meus, vos autem eritis innoxii.
¹¹ Itaque festinato deponentes in terram saccos, aperuerunt singuli.
¹² Quos scrutatus, incipiens a majore usque ad minimum, invenit scyphum in sacco Benjamin.
¹³ At illi, scissis vestibus, oneratisque rursum asinis, reversi sunt in oppidum.
¹⁴ Primusque Judas cum fratribus ingressus est ad Joseph (necdum enim de loco abierat) omnesque ante eum pariter in terram corruerunt.
¹⁵ Quibus ille ait : Cur sic agere voluistis ? an ignoratis quod non sit similis mei in augurandi scientia ?
¹⁶ Cui Judas : Quid respondebimus, inquit, domino meo ? vel quid loquemur, aut juste poterimus obtendere ? Deus invenit iniquitatem servorum tuorum : en omnes servi sumus domini mei, et nos, et apud quem inventus est scyphus.
¹⁷ Respondit Joseph : Absit a me ut sic agam : qui furatus est scyphum, ipse sit servus meus : vos autem abite liberi ad patrem vestrum.
¹⁸ Accedens autem propius Judas, confidenter ait : Oro, domine mi, loquatur servus tuus verbum in auribus tuis, et ne irascaris famulo tuo : tu es enim post Pharaonem
¹⁹ dominus meus. Interrogasti prius servos tuos : Habetis patrem aut fratrem ?
²⁰ et nos respondimus tibi domino meo : Est nobis pater senex, et puer parvulus, qui in senectute illius natus est : cujus uterinus frater mortuus est : et ipsum solum habet mater sua, pater vero tenere diligit eum.
²¹ Dixistique servis tuis : Adducite eum ad me, et ponam oculos meos super illum.
²² Suggessimus domino meo : Non potest puer relinquere patrem suum : si enim illum dimiserit, morietur.
²³ Et dixisti servis tuis : Nisi venerit frater vester minimus vobiscum, non videbitis amplius faciem meam.
²⁴ Cum ergo ascendissemus ad famulum tuum patrem nostrum, narravimus ei omnia quæ locutus est dominus meus.
²⁵ Et dixit pater noster : Revertimini, et emite nobis parum tritici.
²⁶ Cui diximus : Ire non possumus : si frater noster minimus descenderit nobiscum, proficiscemur simul : alioquin illo absente, non audemus videre faciem viri.
²⁷ Ad quæ ille respondit : Vos scitis quod duos genuerit mihi uxor mea.
²⁸ Egressus est unus, et dixistis : Bestia devoravit eum : et hucusque non comparet.
²⁹ Si tuleritis et istum, et aliquid ei in via contigerit, deducetis canos meos cum mœrore ad inferos.
³⁰ Igitur si intravero ad servum tuum patrem nostrum, et puer defuerit (cum anima illius ex hujus anima pendeat),
³¹ videritque eum non esse nobiscum, morietur, et deducent famuli tui canos ejus cum dolore ad inferos.
³² Ego proprie servus tuus sim qui in meam hunc recepi fidem, et spopondi dicens : Nisi reduxero eum, peccati reus ero in patrem meum omni tempore.
³³ Manebo itaque servus tuus pro puero in ministerio domini mei, et puer ascendat cum fratribus suis.
³⁴ Non enim possum redire ad patrem meum, absente puero : ne calamitatis, quæ oppressura est patrem meum, testis assistam.
