| 18 | Then Judah went up to him and said, 'Please listen, my lord. Let me say a word to your lordship, I beg. Do not be angry with me, for you are as great as Pharaoh. | Judah pleads for Benjamin. Gn.44.18-34 | וַיִּגַּשׁ אֵלָיו יְהוּדָה וַיֹּאמֶר בִּי אֲדֹנִי יְדַבֶּר־נָא עַבְדְּךָ דָבָר בְּאָזְנֵי אֲדֹנִי וְאַל־יִחַר אַפְּךָ בְּעַבְדֶּךָ כִּי כָמֹוךָ כְּפַרְעֹה׃ |
|
| 19 | You, my lord, asked us whether we had a father or a brother. | | אֲדֹנִי שָׁאַל אֶת־עֲבָדָיו לֵאמֹר הֲיֵשׁ־לָכֶם אָב אֹו־אָח׃ |
|
| 20 | We answered, "We have an aged father, and he has a young son born in his old age; this boy's full brother is dead and he alone is left of his mother's children, he alone, and his father loves him." | | וַנֹּאמֶר אֶל־אֲדֹנִי יֶשׁ־לָנוּ אָב זָקֵן וְיֶלֶד זְקֻנִים קָטָן וְאָחִיו מֵת וַיִּוָּתֵר הוּא לְבַדֹּו לְאִמֹּו וְאָבִיו אֲהֵבֹו׃ |
|
| 21 | Your lordship answered, "Bring him down to me so that I may set eyes on him." | | וַתֹּאמֶר אֶל־עֲבָדֶיךָ הֹורִדֻהוּ אֵלָי וְאָשִׂימָה עֵינִי עָלָיו׃ |
|
| 22 | We told you, my lord, that the boy could not leave his father, and that his father would die if he left him. | | וַנֹּאמֶר אֶל־אֲדֹנִי לֹא־יוּכַל הַנַּעַר לַעֲזֹב אֶת־אָבִיו וְעָזַב אֶת־אָבִיו וָמֵת׃ |
|
| 23 | But you answered, "Unless your youngest brother comes here with you, you shall not enter my presence again." | | וַתֹּאמֶר אֶל־עֲבָדֶיךָ אִם־לֹא יֵרֵד אֲחִיכֶם הַקָּטֹן אִתְּכֶם לֹא תֹסִפוּן לִרְאֹות פָּנָי׃ |
|
| 24 | We went back to your servant our father, and told him what your lordship had said. | | וַיְהִי כִּי עָלִינוּ אֶל־עַבְדְּךָ אָבִי וַנַּגֶּד־לֹו אֵת דִּבְרֵי אֲדֹנִי׃ |
|
| 25 | When our father told us to go and buy food, | | וַיֹּאמֶר אָבִינוּ שֻׁבוּ שִׁבְרוּ־לָנוּ מְעַט־אֹכֶל׃ |
|
| 26 | we answered, "We cannot go down; for without our youngest brother we cannot enter the man's presence; but if our brother is with us, we will go." | | וַנֹּאמֶר לֹא נוּכַל לָרֶדֶת אִם־יֵשׁ אָחִינוּ הַקָּטֹן אִתָּנוּ וְיָרַדְנוּ כִּי־לֹא נוּכַל לִרְאֹות פְּנֵי הָאִישׁ וְאָחִינוּ הַקָּטֹן אֵינֶנּוּ אִתָּנוּ׃ |
|
| 27 | Our father, my lord, then said to us, "You know that my wife bore me two sons. | | וַיֹּאמֶר עַבְדְּךָ אָבִי אֵלֵינוּ אַתֶּם יְדַעְתֶּם כִּי שְׁנַיִם יָלְדָה־לִּי אִשְׁתִּי׃ |
|
| 28 | One left me, and I said, 'He must have been torn to pieces.' I have not seen him to this day. | | וַיֵּצֵא הָאֶחָד מֵאִתִּי וָאֹמַר אַךְ טָרֹף טֹרָף וְלֹא רְאִיתִיו עַד־הֵנָּה׃ |
|
| 29 | If you take this one from me as well, and he comes to any harm, then you will bring down my grey hairs in trouble to the grave." | | וּלְקַחְתֶּם גַּם־אֶת־זֶה מֵעִם פָּנַי וְקָרָהוּ אָסֹון וְהֹורַדְתֶּם אֶת־שֵׂיבָתִי בְּרָעָה שְׁאֹלָה׃ |
|
| 30 | Now, my lord, when I return to my father without the boy—and remember, his life is bound up with the boy's—what will happen is this: | | וְעַתָּה כְּבֹאִי אֶל־עַבְדְּךָ אָבִי וְהַנַּעַר אֵינֶנּוּ אִתָּנוּ וְנַפְשֹׁו קְשׁוּרָה בְנַפְשֹׁו׃ |
|
| 31 | he will see that the boy is not with us and will die, and your servants will have brought down our father's grey hairs in sorrow to the grave. | | וְהָיָה כִּרְאֹותֹו כִּי־אֵין הַנַּעַר וָמֵת וְהֹורִידוּ עֲבָדֶיךָ אֶת־שֵׂיבַת עַבְדְּךָ אָבִינוּ בְּיָגֹון שְׁאֹלָה׃ |
|
| 32 | Indeed, my lord, it was I who went surety for the boy to my father. I said, "If I do not bring him back to you, then you shall hold me guilty all my life." | | כִּי עַבְדְּךָ עָרַב אֶת־הַנַּעַר מֵעִם אָבִי לֵאמֹר אִם־לֹא אֲבִיאֶנּוּ אֵלֶיךָ וְחָטָאתִי לְאָבִי כָּל־הַיָּמִים׃ |
|
| 33 | Now, my lord, let me remain in place of the boy as your lordship's slave, and let him go with his brothers. | | וְעַתָּה יֵשֶׁב־נָא עַבְדְּךָ תַּחַת הַנַּעַר עֶבֶד לַאדֹנִי וְהַנַּעַר יַעַל עִם־אֶחָיו׃ |
|
| 34 | How can I return to my father without the boy? I could not bear to see the misery which my father would suffer.' | | כִּי־אֵיךְ אֶעֱלֶה אֶל־אָבִי וְהַנַּעַר אֵינֶנּוּ אִתִּי פֶּן אֶרְאֶה בָרָע אֲשֶׁר יִמְצָא אֶת־אָבִי׃ |
