절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
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	The Missing Cup Later, Joseph told the servant in charge of his house, “Fill the men's grain sacks with as much as they can hold and put their money in the sacks. Also put my silver cup in the sack of the youngest brother.” The servant did as he was told.	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	Early the next morning, the men were sent on their way with their donkeys.	As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
4	But they had not gone far from the city when Joseph told the servant, “Go after those men! When you catch them, say, ‘My master has been good to you. So why have you stolen his silver cup?	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	Not only does he drink from his cup, but he also uses it to learn about the future. You have done a terrible thing.’ ”	Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
6	When the servant caught up with them, he said exactly what Joseph had told him to say.	And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
7	But they replied, “Sir, why do you say such things? We would never do anything like that!	And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
8	We even returned the money we found in our grain sacks when we got back to Canaan. So why would we want to steal any silver or gold from your master's house?	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	If you find that one of us has the cup, then kill him, and the rest of us will become your slaves.”	With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen.
10	“Good!” the man replied, “I'll do what you have said. But only the one who has the cup will become my slave. The rest of you can go free.”	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	Each of the brothers quickly put his sack on the ground and opened it.	Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
12	Joseph's servant started searching the sacks, beginning with the one that belonged to the oldest brother. When he came to Benjamin's sack, he found the cup.	And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
13	This upset the brothers so much that they began tearing their clothes in sorrow. Then they loaded their donkeys and returned to the city.	Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
14	When Judah and his brothers got there, Joseph was still at home. So they bowed down to Joseph,	And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
15	who asked them, “What have you done? Didn't you know I could find out?”	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	“Sir, what can we say?” Judah replied. “How can we say we are innocent, when God has shown we are guilty? And now all of us are your slaves, especially the one who had the cup.”	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	Joseph told them, “I would never punish all of you. Only the one who was caught with the cup will become my slave. The rest of you are free to go home to your father.”	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	Judah Pleads for Benjamin Judah went over to Joseph and said: Sir, you have as much power as the king himself, and I am only your slave. Please don't get angry if I speak.	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	You asked us if our father was still alive and if we had any more brothers.	My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
20	So we told you, “Our father is a very old man. In fact, he was already old when Benjamin was born. Benjamin's brother is dead. Now Benjamin is the only one of the two brothers who is still alive, and our father loves him very much.”	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	You ordered us to bring him here, so you could see him for yourself.	And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
22	We told you that our father would die if Benjamin left him.	And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
23	But you warned us that we could never see you again, unless our youngest brother came with us.	And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
24	So we returned to our father and reported what you had said.	And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25	Later our father sent us back here to buy more grain.	And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
26	But we told him, “We can't go back to Egypt without our youngest brother. We will never be let in to see the governor, unless he is 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, except our youngest brother be with us.
27	Sir, our father then reminded us that his favorite wife had given birth to two sons.	And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
28	One of them was already missing and had not been seen for a long time. My father thinks the boy was torn to pieces by some wild animal,	And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
29	and he said, “I am an old man. If you take Benjamin from me, and something happens to him, I will die of a broken heart.”	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	That's why Benjamin must be with us when I go back to my father. He loves him so much	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	that he will die if Benjamin doesn't come back with me.	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	I promised my father that I would bring him safely home. If I don't, I told my father he could blame me the rest of my life.	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	Sir, I am your slave. Please let me stay here in place of Benjamin and let him return home with his brothers.	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	How can I face my father if Benjamin isn't with me? I couldn't bear to see my father in such sorrow.	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.
