创世记第44章

《圣经》创世记-第44章

创44:1 约瑟吩咐家宰说：“把粮食装满这些人的口袋，尽着他们的驴所能驮的，又把各人的银子放在各人的口袋里， (串)创43:16,19本章4|创42:25

†[吕]约瑟吩咐管家的说：“把粮食装满这些人的布袋，尽他们所能带的；又把各人的银子放在各人的布袋口；

†[思]然后若瑟吩咐自己的管家说：“将粮食装满这些人的布袋，他们能带多少，就装多少；将每人的银钱仍放在他的布袋口处，

†[当代]约瑟吩咐管家把粮食尽量装进他们的布袋里，然后把各人的银子放回袋中。

†[新译]约瑟吩咐管家说：“把粮食装满这些人的布袋，要尽他们所能携带的，又把各人的银子放在他们的袋口；

†[Wlb]约瑟命家宰曰、以粮充其人之囊、依所能负、反金于中、

†[Xdv]约瑟命令管家说：“你要按照他们所能负载的，把粮食装满各人的袋子，并且把各人的钱放回袋子里。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, "Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man's money in the mouth of his sack.

†[BBE]Then he gave orders to the servant who was over his house, saying, Put as much food into the men's bags as will go into them, and put every man's money in the mouth of his bag;

†[GNT] Joseph commanded the servant in charge of his house, "Fill the men's sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each man's money in the top of his sack.

†[NIV]Now Joseph gave these instructions to the steward of his house: "Fill the men's sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each man's silver in the mouth of his sack.

创44:2 并将我的银杯和那少年人籴粮的银子一同装在他的口袋里。”家宰就照约瑟所说的话行了；

†[吕]并将我的酒杯、那只银杯、放在那顶小的布袋口，也将他买粮食的银子放进去。”管家的就照约瑟所说的话去作。

†[思]再将我的银杯和内最年幼购粮的银钱，一并放在他的布袋口处。”管家就照若瑟吩咐的话做了。

†[当代]约瑟又吩咐管家去把自己的银杯跟买粮的银子一起放在便雅悯的布袋里。

†[新译]把我的银杯，放在最小的袋口，连同他买粮食的银子放进去。”管家就照着约瑟吩咐的话去作。

†[Wlb]以我银爵、与季者之籴金、置于季者囊、家宰如命而行、

†[Xdv]至于那个最年轻的，你要把我的银酒杯和他的钱都放在他的袋子里。”管家就遵命做了。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]Also put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain money." So he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

†[BBE]And put my cup, my silver cup, in the youngest one's bag, with his money. So he did as Joseph said.

†[GNT] Put my silver cup in the top of the youngest brother's sack, together with the money for his grain." He did as he was told.

†[NIV]Then put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one's sack, along with the silver for his grain." And he did as Joseph said.

本会注释　　这是约瑟向其兄弟表明身份之前最后的和决定性的考验，目的在于造成一种局面，使他能依法将便雅悯扣留在埃及。这样，他的哥哥们就有理由不带他们父亲最喜爱的儿子返回迦南了。他也就借此了解他们现在是怎样的人了。他们或者服从约瑟将便雅悯扣留在埃及的决定，而将令人心碎的信息带给他们的父亲，让他接受失去他所爱之拉结唯一幸存之子的事实，或者他们将尽全力来阻止这一不幸的发生。

创44:3 天一亮就打发那些人带着驴走了。

†[吕]早晨天一亮，他们那些人、人和驴、就蒙送行走了。

†[思]清早天一发亮，就遣送这些人带着他们的驴走了。

†[当代]第二天清早，他们就带著驴，驮著粮食离开了。

†[新译]早晨天一亮，那些人和他们的驴子都被打发走了。

†[Wlb]黎明、人与驴、俱遣之去、

†[Xdv]第二天一早，这些兄弟和他们的驴都被打发走了。

†[Kjv]As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

†[Nkjv]As soon as the morning dawned, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.

†[BBE]And at dawn the men, with their asses, were sent away.

†[GNT] Early in the morning the brothers were sent on their way with their donkeys.

†[NIV]As morning dawned, the men were sent on their way with their donkeys.

创44:4 他们出城走了不远，约瑟对家宰说：“起来，追那些人去，追上了就对他们说：‘你们为什么以恶报善呢？ (串)本章1

†[吕]他们出城，走了不远，约瑟就对管家的说：“起来，追赶那些人；赶上了，就对他们说：‘你们为什么以恶报善呢？

†[思]他们出了城，还不很远，若瑟就对他的管家说：“你起身去追赶那些人，追上他们，就对他们说：你们为什么以恶报善？

†[当代]他们出城不久，约瑟就对管家说：“你快去追赶他们，追上了就质问他们为什么要这样的以怨报德？

†[新译]他们出了城，走了不远，约瑟就对管家说：“起来，追赶那些人；追上了，就对他们说：‘你为什么以恶报善呢？

†[Wlb]距邑未远、约瑟谓家宰曰、起追其人、及之、则曰、曷以恶报善耶、

†[Xdv]他们离城还不远，约瑟就对管家说：“你赶快去追那些人，追上的时候，要问他们：‘你们为什么以恶报善呢？

†[Kjv]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?

†[Nkjv]When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, "Get up, follow the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, "Why have you repaid evil for good?

†[BBE]And when they had gone only a little way out of the town, Joseph said to the servant who was over his house, Go after them; and when you overtake them, say to them, Why have you done evil in reward for good?

†[GNT] When they had gone only a short distance from the city, Joseph said to the servant in charge of his house, "Hurry after those men. When you catch up with them, ask them, "Why have you paid back evil for good?

†[NIV]They had not gone far from the city when Joseph said to his steward, "Go after those men at once, and when you catch up with them, say to them, 'Why have you repaid good with evil?

创44:5 这不是我主人饮酒的杯吗？岂不是他占卜用的吗？你们这样行是作恶了。’” (串)本章15

†[吕]这不是我主人喝酒用的么？又不是他观兆头用的么？你们这样作、简直是行了坏事了。’”

†[思]为什么偷去我的银杯？这杯是我主人为饮酒为占卜用的啊！你们作的实在不对！”

†[当代]为什么要偷去我用来喝酒和占卜的银杯，告诉他们，说他们实在是做错了！”

†[新译]这不是我主人喝酒和占卜用的杯吗？你们所作的，实在不对。’”

†[Wlb]此器非吾主所用以饮、而藉以卜者乎、尔行此事、是不良也、

†[Xdv]为什么偷走我主人的银酒杯呢）？那酒杯是他喝酒用的，也是占卜用的；你们犯严重的罪了！’”

†[Kjv]Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.

†[Nkjv]Is not this the one from which my lord drinks, and with which he indeed practices divination? You have done evil in so doing."'

†[BBE]Is not this the cup from which my lord takes wine and by which he gets knowledge of the future? Truly, you have done evil.

†[GNT] Why did you steal my master's silver cup? It is the one he drinks from, the one he uses for divination. You have committed a serious crime!' "

†[NIV]Isn't this the cup my master drinks from and also uses for divination? This is a wicked thing you have done.' "

本会注释　　这个酒杯是个贵重的物品。它不仅用来饮酒，而且据认为可以查出任何有毒物质。这种杯子还可用来行法术。“占卜”的意思是“耳语”、“喃喃而语”、“说预言”。古典作家说到东方人将水倒入酒杯，然后通过观察预测未来的事（任布利库，《魔法》第三章第14节）。古人所描述的另一种习俗是将水倒入酒杯中，将一块块的金银或宝石投进去，然后观察并解释水中的形像（普林尼《自然历史》第三十七章第73节；斯特拉波，《地理学》第十六卷第2章第39节）。约瑟吩咐家宰向兄弟们提及行法术的事，并不意味着约瑟真的接受了这种迷信的做法。就象先前一样（创43:33），他愿意让他们相信他能读懂他们的思想，从而使他们放弃伪装吐露真情。
　　埃及人很可能因为约瑟的大智大慧而认定他能行法术。他难道没有准确地预言了丰年和荒年，并关照埃及为灾荒做准备吗？他确实比他们最佳的“术士”还要出色（创41:8），因此一定拥有更高明的法术（见出8:19）。他作为一个智士的声誉可能已经广为流传，甚至传到了外国，以至约瑟后来质问涉嫌盗窃酒杯的人是否了解这一事实（创44:15）。

创44:6 家宰追上他们，将这些话对他们说了。

†[吕]管家的赶上他们，将这些话对他们说了。

†[思]管家追上他们，就对他们说了这些话。

†[当代]于是，管家就追上了他们，把约瑟的话转告他们。

†[新译]管家追上了他们，就对他们说了这些话。

†[Wlb]追既及、如言以告、

†[Xdv]管家追上他们的时候，就对他们说这些话。

†[Kjv]And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.

†[Nkjv]So he overtook them, and he spoke to them these same words.

†[BBE]So he overtook them and said these words to them.

†[GNT] When the servant caught up with them, he repeated these words.

†[NIV]When he caught up with them, he repeated these words to them.

创44:7 他们回答说：“我主为什么说这样的话呢？你仆人断不能做这样的事。

†[吕]他们对他说：“我主为什么说这样的话呢？你仆人绝不能作这样事的。

†[思]他们回答说：“我主怎么说些这样的话？你的仆人们决不敢做这样的事！

†[当代]他们惊慌地回答说：“先生，我们实在不明白你在说什么啊！我们是不会干这种事的。

†[新译]他们对管家说：“我主为什么说这样的话呢？你的仆人绝不会作这样的事。

†[Wlb]曰、吾主、何出此言、斯事仆断不为、

†[Xdv]他们回答：“先生，你这话到底指什么呢？我们发誓，我们没有做这种事。

†[Kjv]And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:

†[Nkjv]And they said to him, "Why does my lord say these words? Far be it from us that your servants should do such a thing.

†[BBE]And they said to him, Why does my lord say such words as these? far be it from your servants to do such a thing:

†[GNT] They answered him, "What do you mean, sir, by talking like this? We swear that we have done no such thing.

†[NIV]But they said to him, "Why does my lord say such things? Far be it from your servants to do anything like that!

创44:8 你看，我们从前在口袋里所见的银子，尚且从迦南地带来还你，我们怎能从你主人家里偷窃金银呢？ (串)创43:21

†[吕]你看，我们从前在布袋口所见着的银子，我们尚且从迦南地带来还你，我们怎能从你主人家里偷窃银子或金子呢？

†[思]你看！我们在布袋口所发现的银钱，还从客纳罕地带回来给了你，我们怎能偷你主人家的金银呢？

†[当代]你看，我们不是把上次留在布袋里的钱都带回来吗？我们又怎么会偷你主人的金银呢？

†[新译]你看，我们从前在袋口发现的银子，尚且从迦南地带来还给你，我们又怎会从你主人的家里偷取金银呢？

†[Wlb]昔得金于囊、我自迦南来、携以反尔、则我岂窃金银于尔主之室乎、

†[Xdv]你知道，我们上次在袋子里发现的那些钱，也从迦南带来奉还。我们怎么会偷走你主人家里的金银呢？

†[Kjv]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?

†[Nkjv]Look, we brought back to you from the land of Canaan the money which we found in the mouth of our sacks. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord's house?

†[BBE]See, the money which was in the mouth of our bags we gave back to you when we came again from Canaan: how then might we take silver or gold from your lord's house?

†[GNT] You know that we brought back to you from the land of Canaan the money we found in the top of our sacks. Why then should we steal silver or gold from your master's house?

†[NIV]We even brought back to you from the land of Canaan the silver we found inside the mouths of our sacks. So why would we steal silver or gold from your master's house?

创44:9 你仆人中无论在谁那里搜出来，就叫他死，我们也作我主的奴仆。” (串)创31:32|本章16

†[吕]你仆人中、无论在谁那里找着了，谁就该死，我们呢，也该做我主的奴仆。”

†[思]在你仆人中，不论在谁那搜出来，谁就该死，并且我们都该作我主的奴隶。”

†[当代]“好吧！倘若你在我们哪一个人身上搜到他的银杯，你们就把他处死吧！我们也愿意永远作你主人的奴仆。”

†[新译]在你仆人当中，无论在谁那里搜出来，谁就要死，我们也要作我主的奴仆。”

†[Wlb]可索仆中、获之于谁、即致之死、我众为尔奴、

†[Xdv]先生，如果你在仆人当中，无论在谁的袋子里找到酒杯，谁就该死；其余的也愿意作你的奴隶。”

†[Kjv]With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.

†[Nkjv]With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's slaves."

†[BBE]If it comes to light that any of your servants has done this, let him be put to death, and we will be your lord's servants.

†[GNT] Sir, if any one of us is found to have it, he will be put to death, and the rest of us will become your slaves."

†[NIV]If any of your servants is found to have it, he will die; and the rest of us will become my lord's slaves."

本会注释　　兄弟们认为自己完全无辜，就毫不迟疑地声明：如果所丢失的物品在他们当中找到，他们甘愿受最严厉的处罚。他们卤莽的话语似乎有欠考虑，特别是经历过口袋里神秘地出现银钱之后。他们本来容易受人怀疑，所以应该更为谨慎。但他们在第二次前往埃及时，受到首长本人及其下属这么真诚友善的款待，以致打消了对约瑟动机之诚意的一切怀疑。

创44:10 家宰说：“现在就照你们的话行吧！在谁那里搜出来，谁就作我的奴仆；其余的都没有罪。”

†[吕]管家的说：“现在就照你们的话这样行吧：在谁那里找着了，谁就该做我的奴仆，你们呢、都没有罪。”

†[思]管家答说：“也好，就照你们的话做；只是在谁那搜出来，谁该作我的奴隶；你们其馀的人可自由离去。”

†[当代]管家说：“好，我们就这样决定吧！银杯在谁那里搜出来，谁就作我主人的奴仆，其他的人都没有罪。”

†[新译]管家说：“现在就照你们的话作吧，只是在谁那里搜出来，谁就要作我的奴仆，其余的人都没有罪。”

†[Wlb]曰、如尔言、获之于谁、当为我奴、余皆无辜、

†[Xdv]管家说：“我同意你们这话。但是我只要那偷走酒杯的人留下作我的奴隶，其余的可以自由回去。”

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]And he said, "Now also let it be according to your words; he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and you shall be blameless."

†[BBE]And he said, Let it be as you say: he in whose bag it is seen will become my servant; and you will not be responsible.

†[GNT] He said, "I agree; but only the one who has taken the cup will become my slave, and the rest of you can go free."

†[NIV]Very well, then," he said, "let it be as you say. Whoever is found to have it will become my slave; the rest of you will be free from blame."

本会注释　　家宰以冠冕堂皇的语气，拒绝了将无辜者与罪犯一同受罚的想法，或象他们所建议的那样严厉地处罚罪犯。别人如果信口开河，我们绝不要乘人之危。我们自己可能有时也会作一些的欠考虑的承诺，要不是他人的寛容，可能会给我们带来伤害。

创44:11 于是他们各人急忙把口袋卸在地下，各人打开口袋。

†[吕]于是他们各人急忙把布袋卸下在地上，各人打开布袋。

†[思]于是他们各人急忙将自己的布袋卸下，放在地上，各人打开自己的布袋。

†[当代]于是，他们就急忙把布袋取下来，放在地上打开来查看。

†[新译]于是，他们急忙把自己的布袋卸在地上，各人打开自己的布袋。

†[Wlb]各急下囊启之、

†[Xdv]于是大家很快地把袋子卸在地上，各人打开自己的袋子。

†[Kjv]Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

†[Nkjv]Then each man speedily let down his sack to the ground, and each opened his sack.

†[BBE]Then every man quickly got his bag down and undid it.

†[GNT] So they quickly lowered their sacks to the ground, and each man opened his sack.

†[NIV]Each of them quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it.

创44:12 家宰就搜查，从年长的起到年幼的为止，那杯竟在便雅悯的口袋里搜出来。

†[吕]管家的就搜查，从大的起、到小的为止；那杯竟在便雅悯的布袋里找着了。

†[思]管家便一一搜查，从年长的开始，到年幼的为止；结果那杯在本雅明的布袋搜了出来。

†[当代]管家就从最年长的开始搜查，结果在便雅悯的布袋那里搜出了约瑟的银杯！

†[新译]管家就搜查，从最大的开始，查到最小的。那杯竟在便雅悯的布袋里搜出来了。

†[Wlb]家宰索焉、自长迄幼、得爵于便雅悯囊、

†[Xdv]管家仔细搜查，先从老大的袋子开始，查到最小的。结果，酒杯在便雅悯的袋子里找到了。

†[Kjv]And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

†[Nkjv]So he searched. He began with the oldest and left off with the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

†[BBE]And he made a search, starting with the oldest and ending with the youngest; and the cup was in Benjamin's bag.

†[GNT] Joseph's servant searched carefully, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest, and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

†[NIV]Then the steward proceeded to search, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

本会注释　　家宰有条不紊的搜查，一定使他们想起一天前发现他们自己按照年龄就座时所产生的诧异。他们一定感到非常紧张，因为丢失的物品直到最后一刻才被找到。他们一个接一个得到洗刷。随着他们无辜的证据越来越明显，他们可能以面部的表情，甚至口中的话来表达自己的清白。但最后丢失的物品却在便雅悯的口袋里发现了。面对这场新的灾难，他们悲痛惊恐地撕裂了他们的衣服（见@创37:34@注释），重新让驴驮上货物，返回城中。

创44:13 他们就撕裂衣服，各人把驮子抬在驴上，回城去了。 (串)创37:29

†[吕]他们就撕裂衣裳，各人把驮子抬在驴上，回城去了。

†[思]他们遂撕裂了自己的衣服，各人又使驴驮上重载，回城去了。

†[当代]他们就非常难过，撕裂了衣服，重新收拾一切，回到城里去。

†[新译]他们就撕裂自己的衣服，各人又把担子驮在驴上，回城去了。

†[Wlb]众则裂衣、使驴负载、而返于邑、

†[Xdv]兄弟们都悲伤地撕裂衣服，把行李再驮在驴背上，回城里去了。

†[Kjv]Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.

†[Nkjv]Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey and returned to the city.

†[BBE]Then in bitter grief they put the bags on the asses again and went back to the town.

†[GNT] The brothers tore their clothes in sorrow, loaded their donkeys, and returned to the city.

†[NIV]At this, they tore their clothes. Then they all loaded their donkeys and returned to the city.

本会注释　　现在可以看出在他们的内心深处，是如何看待他们父亲最疼爱的儿子的了，就是那位受埃及的首长如此看重的便雅悯。他们会不会象他们当初对待约瑟那样地放弃他，使他们年迈的父亲满怀悲伤地死去呢，还是愿意舍弃自己的自由和生命，以使他能够平安地回到父亲身边？

创44:14 犹大和他弟兄们来到约瑟的屋中，约瑟还在那里，他们就在他面前俯伏于地。 (串)创37:10;42:6;43:26

†[吕]犹大和他弟兄们来到约瑟屋里，约瑟还在那里；他们就在他面前俯伏在地上。

†[思]犹大和他的兄弟们进了若瑟的家，若瑟还在那，他们就在他面前俯伏在地。

†[当代]犹大和其他兄弟回到约瑟家里，见到了约瑟就俯伏在他面前。

†[新译]犹大和他的兄弟来到约瑟的家里，那时约瑟还在那里；他们就在他面前俯伏在地。

†[Wlb]犹大与昆弟至、约瑟尚在室、遂俯伏其前焉、

†[Xdv]犹大和其余的兄弟到约瑟家时，约瑟还在那里；他们就向他跪拜。

†[Kjv]And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.

†[Nkjv]So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, and he was still there; and they fell before him on the ground.

†[BBE]So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house; and he was still there: and they went down on their faces before him.

†[GNT] When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there. They bowed down before him,

†[NIV]Joseph was still in the house when Judah and his brothers came in, and they threw themselves to the ground before him.

本会注释　　这些人在犹大的带领下回到了约瑟的屋。他们都在他面前俯伏于地请求怜悯。古埃及的浮雕保存了许多类似情景的画面。其中有一幅展示公元前十四世纪迦南的请愿人在哈仁姆哈伯将军面前的景象。他们中有的平伏在地上，伸出手臂抬起头向高官恳求。其他的人在他面前跪下或鞠躬。所有的人都举起胳膊，让将军知道他们要求的迫切性。那些伏在哈仁姆哈伯面前的人，请求准许在埃及定居，因为他们被赶出了自己的家园。

创44:15 约瑟对他们说：“你们做的是什么事呢？你们岂不知象我这样的人必能占卜吗？” (串)本章5

†[吕]约瑟对他们说：“你们干的这事是怎么回事呢？岂不知像我这样的人必能观兆头么？”

†[思]若瑟对他们说：“你们作的是什么事？难道你们不知道像我这样的人会占卜吗？”

†[当代]约瑟假意斥责他们说：“你们干的是什么事呢？难道你们不知道像我这样的人是懂得占卜的吗？”

†[新译]约瑟对他们说：“你们所作的是什么事呢？你们不知道像我这样的人必能占卜吗？”

†[Wlb]约瑟曰、尔所行者何耶、我之为人、信能占卜、尔不知乎、

†[Xdv]约瑟说：“你们干的是什么呢？你们不晓得我这种地位的人能占卜出你们的行动吗？”

†[Kjv]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?

†[Nkjv]And Joseph said to them, "What deed is this you have done? Did you not know that such a man as I can certainly practice divination?"

†[BBE]And Joseph said, What is this thing which you have done? had you no thought that such a man as I would have power to see what is secret?

†[GNT] and Joseph said, "What have you done? Didn't you know that a man in my position could find you out by practicing divination?"

†[NIV]Joseph said to them, "What is this you have done? Don't you know that a man like me can find things out by divination?"

本会注释　　约瑟严厉的话语一定使他们想起第一次来埃及时所受到的待遇。关于约瑟没有行法术，见第5节注释。

创44:16 犹大说：“我们对我主说什么呢？还有什么话可说呢？我们怎能自己表白出来呢？上帝已经查出仆人的罪孽了。我们与那在他手中搜出杯来的都是我主的奴仆。” (串)民32:23创37:18-28|本章9

†[吕]犹大说：“我们对我主还说什么呢？还有什么话可说呢？我们怎能自表为正直呢？上帝已经查出仆人的罪孽了。看哪，我们都是我主的奴仆了：不但那杯在他手中找着的那人而已，我们也都是。”

†[思]犹大答说：“我们对我主还能说什么？还有什么话可说？我们如何能表白自己？天主已查出了你仆人们的罪恶。我们和在他手搜出杯来的，都应作我主的奴隶。”

†[当代]犹大说：“唉，我们还有什么话可说的呢？我们又怎样可以洗脱罪名呢？上帝既然要惩罚我们，那就让我们跟那个被搜出藏有银杯的弟弟一起作你的奴仆吧！”

†[新译]犹大说：“我们对我主可以说什么呢？我们还有什么可说的呢？我们怎能证明自己是清白的呢？　神已经查出你仆人们的罪孽了。看哪，我们和那在他手里搜出杯来的，都是我主的奴仆了。”

†[Wlb]犹大曰、我侪于主、夫复何言、尚有何辞、焉能自解、上帝摘仆之咎、获爵于其手者、与我侪咸为主之奴、

†[Xdv]犹大回答：“我主啊，我们还有什么可说的呢？还能叫枉或辩屈吗？上帝已经揭开我们的罪！现在，不只是那个被找到有酒杯的，连我们也都得作你的奴隶！”

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]Then Judah said, "What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? Or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; here we are, my lord's slaves, both we and he also with whom the cup was found."

†[BBE]And Judah said, What are we to say to my lord? how may we put ourselves right in his eyes? God has made clear the sin of your servants: now we are in your hands, we and the man in whose bag your cup was seen.

†[GNT] "What can we say to you, sir?" Judah answered. "How can we argue? How can we clear ourselves? God has uncovered our guilt. All of us are now your slaves and not just the one with whom the cup was found."

†[NIV]What can we say to my lord?" Judah replied. "What can we say? How can we prove our innocence? God has uncovered your servants' guilt. We are now my lord's slaves-we ourselves and the one who was found to have the cup."

本会注释　　第二次来埃及的领队犹大（创43:8）作为代表走上前来。他并未试图替自己和他的兄弟们辩护，洗刷他们的嫌疑，而是坦然承认自己有罪。他无疑是指对他们的兄弟约瑟所犯的罪行，这个一直在折磨他们良心的罪（创42:21,22）。对于在旁的埃及人，特别是家宰，犹大这番认罪的话无疑使他们感到诧异，因为他们知道这些人实际上是无辜的。约瑟一定感受到他们心灵的痛苦，觉得那即将宣布的处罚是他们罪有应得的。犹大提出，他们都留在他们曾一度出卖他们兄弟为奴之地埃及为奴隶，约瑟答复说，他的裁决将是公正合理的。只留下有罪的人作他的奴隶；其他的人都可以平平安安地回到他们父亲那里去。

创44:17 约瑟说：“我断不能这样行！在谁的手中搜出杯来，谁就作我的奴仆；至于你们，可以平平安安的上你们父亲那里去。” (串)本章9

†[吕]约瑟说：“我绝不能这样作：那杯在谁手中找着了，谁就做我的奴仆，至于你们呢，尽管安安然然上你们父亲那里去好啦。”

†[思]若瑟答说：“我决不这样做；在谁手搜出杯来，谁就该作我的奴隶；至于你们，都可平安上去，回到你们父亲那。”

†[当代]约瑟回答说：“不！谁偷了我的杯，谁就作我的奴仆好了，其他的人可以回家去了。”

†[新译]约瑟说：“我绝不能这样作。在谁的手里搜出杯来，谁就要作我的奴仆；你们其余的人，可以平平安安地上你们父亲那里去。”

†[Wlb]约瑟曰、我断不为此、获爵于其手者、当为我奴、尔众安然以归、见父可也、

†[Xdv]约瑟说：“不！我绝不做这样的事。只有那个拿走酒杯的该作我的奴隶；其余的人可以平平安安回你们父亲那里去。”

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]But he said, "Far be it from me that I should do so; the man in whose hand the cup was found, he shall be my slave. And as for you, go up in peace to your father."

†[BBE]Then he said, Far be it from me to do so: but the man who had my cup will be my servant; and you may go back to your father in peace.

†[GNT] Joseph said, "Oh, no! I would never do that! Only the one who had the cup will be my slave. The rest of you may go back safe and sound to your father."

†[NIV]But Joseph said, "Far be it from me to do such a thing! Only the man who was found to have the cup will become my slave. The rest of you, go back to your father in peace."

创44:18 犹大挨近他，说：“我主啊，求你容仆人说一句话给我主听，不要向仆人发烈怒，因为你如同法老一样。 (串)创43:19|出32:22

†[吕]犹大走上前去挨近约瑟说：“对不住，我主，请容仆人说一句话给我主听，不要向仆人发烈怒，因为您正如法老一样。

†[思]犹大近前对若瑟说：“我主，请原谅，容你仆人向我主进一言，请不要对你仆人动怒，因为你原与法郎无异。

†[当代]犹大听见约瑟要打发他们回去，就靠前来对他说：“大人啊，你的权位可以媲美法老的地位，但也求你让我说一句话，也求你千万不要发怒。

†[新译]犹大走近约瑟身边，说：“我主啊，求你容许仆人说一句话给我主听，请不要向仆人发烈怒，因为你好像法老一样。

†[Wlb]犹大前曰、吾主欤、尔与法老一体、容仆进一言于主耳、请毋怒、

†[Xdv]犹大走上前，对约瑟说：“我主啊，恳求你准我直率地向你陈情。你跟王同等，求你别对你仆人发怒。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]Then Judah came near to him and said: "O my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord's hearing, and do not let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even like Pharaoh.

†[BBE]Then Judah came near him, and said, Let your servant say a word in my lord's ears, and let not your wrath be burning against your servant: for you are in the place of Pharaoh to us.

†[GNT] Judah went up to Joseph and said, "Please, sir, allow me to speak with you freely. Don't be angry with me; you are like the king himself.

†[NIV]Then Judah went up to him and said: "Please, my lord, let your servant speak a word to my lord. Do not be angry with your servant, though you are equal to Pharaoh himself.

本会注释　　本章剩下的17节经文记录了犹大替他兄弟便雅悯求情的话。这段话堪称希伯来文学的杰作之一，也是世界上最具本色的优秀演讲之一。
　　犹大首先恳请约瑟开恩倾听。他是在和一位与法老同等的，具有定罪和赦罪大权的人说话。在埃及，国王被视为神，是一切完美之物的典范、拥有人间的最高尊荣。

创44:19 我主曾问仆人们说：‘你们有父亲有兄弟没有？’

†[吕]我主曾问仆人们说：‘你们有父亲有兄弟没有？’

†[思]我主以前曾问仆人们说：你们还有父亲或兄弟吗？

†[当代]大人曾经问仆人是否有父亲、有兄弟；

†[新译]我主曾经问仆人们说：‘你们还有父亲或其他兄弟没有？’

†[Wlb]昔主问仆云、父尚在否、有兄弟否、

†[Xdv]我主啊，你问过我们：‘你们有父亲或其它兄弟没有？’

†[Kjv]My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?

†[Nkjv]My lord asked his servants, saying, "Have you a father or a brother?'

†[BBE]My lord said to his servants, Have you a father or a brother?

†[GNT] Sir, you asked us, "Do you have a father or another brother?'

†[NIV]My lord asked his servants, 'Do you have a father or a brother?'

本会注释　　首先，犹大讲述了便雅悯被卷入困境的缘由。约瑟曾询问他们的家事，他们则以实相告，说他们最小的兄弟还在家中。约瑟坚持说他们若不带他们的兄弟来，借以证明他的存在，以及他们话语的真实性，就不该贸然返回埃及。犹大的话要比创42章的简短记录详细些，但犹大一定是在准确地复述当初的对话，避免虚构或夸张。

创44:20 我们对我主说：‘我们有父亲，已经年老，还有他老年所生的一个小孩子。他哥哥死了，他母亲只撇下他一人，他父亲疼爱他。’ (串)创37:3

†[吕]我们对我主说：‘我们有父亲，已经年老，还有他老年生的孩子，一个顶小的；他哥哥死了，属他母亲的只剩下他一人，他父亲又疼爱他。’

†[思]我们曾回答我主说：还有老父和他老年生的幼儿；他的哥哥死了，他母亲只剩下了他一个；为此父亲非常疼爱他。

†[当代]仆人就回答大人说：‘我们的父亲已经年纪老迈，他在晚年得了一个儿子，就是我们最年幼的弟弟，他的亲生哥哥已经死了，他母亲就只剩下他一个儿子，所以，他父亲非常疼爱他。’

†[新译]我们曾经回答我主：‘我们还有年老的父亲和最小的弟弟，是他年老时所生的。他的哥哥死了，他母亲只剩下他一个孩子，他父亲非常爱他。’

†[Wlb]我告吾主曰、老父尚在、暮年生季子、其同母之兄亡矣、厥母惟遗此子、父爱之、

†[Xdv]我们回答：‘我们有一位年老的父亲，还有一个小弟弟，是父亲年老的时候生的。这弟弟的亲哥哥死了；他是他们生母留下来惟一的孩子，所以父亲很疼爱他。’

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]And we said to my lord, "We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, who is young; his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother's children, and his father loves him.'

†[BBE]And we said to my lord, We have an old father and a young child, whom he had when he was old; his brother is dead and he is the only son of his mother, and is very dear to his father.

†[GNT] We answered, "We have a father who is old and a younger brother, born to him in his old age. The boy's brother is dead, and he is the only one of his mother's children still alive; his father loves him very much.'

†[NIV]And we answered, 'We have an aged father, and there is a young son born to him in his old age. His brother is dead, and he is the only one of his mother's sons left, and his father loves him.'

创44:21 你对仆人说：‘把他带到我这里来，叫我亲眼看看他。’ (串)创42:15,20;43:3,5

†[吕]你对仆人说：‘将他带下来到我这里，让我亲眼瞪着他。’

†[思]你就对你仆人们说：将他带到我这来，我要亲眼看看他。

†[当代]大人吩咐仆人把我弟弟带来让大人看看，

†[新译]你就对仆人们说：‘把他带下来到我这里，我要亲眼看看他。’

†[Wlb]主语仆曰、携之来、使我目睹之、

†[Xdv]我主啊，你吩咐我们带他来，让你亲眼看看，

†[Kjv]And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.

†[Nkjv]Then you said to your servants, "Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.'

†[BBE]And you said to your servants, Let him come down to me with you, so that I may see him.

†[GNT] Sir, you told us to bring him here, so that you could see him,

†[NIV]Then you said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me so I can see him for myself.'

创44:22 我们对我主说：‘童子不能离开他父亲，若是离开，他父亲必死。’ (串)本章31

†[吕]我们对我主说：‘那儿童不能离开他父亲；若离开他父亲，他父亲就一定死。’

†[思]我们即对我主说：孩子是不能离开他父亲的；如果离开了，他父亲必会死去。

†[当代]仆人就回答大人说他不能离开他父亲，因为要是他父亲见不到他，就会死。

†[新译]我们对我主说：‘那孩子是不能离开他父亲的；如果离开了，他父亲必定死。’

†[Wlb]仆告主曰、孺子不能离父、离之则父死、

†[Xdv]但是我们说过，这孩子不可离开他父亲；要是离开，他父亲一定会死。

†[Kjv]And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

†[Nkjv]And we said to my lord, "The lad cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.'

†[BBE]And we said to my lord, His father will not let him go; for if he went away his father would come to his death.

†[GNT] and we answered that the boy could not leave his father; if he did, his father would die.

†[NIV]And we said to my lord, 'The boy cannot leave his father; if he leaves him, his father will die.'

创44:23 你对仆人说：‘你们的小兄弟若不与你们一同下来，你们就不得再见我的面。’ (串)创43:3

†[吕]你对仆人说：‘你们顶小的弟弟若不和你们一同下来，你们就不能再见我的面。’

†[思]你对你仆人们说：如果你们的小弟弟不同你们一起下来，你们休想再见我的面。

†[当代]可是，大人却对仆人表示：如果仆人不把我弟弟带来，大人就不要再见仆人。

†[新译]你对仆人们说：‘如果你们最小的弟弟不与你们一同下来，你们就不得见我的面。’

†[Wlb]主曰、季弟不偕至、尔曹不复觌吾面、

†[Xdv]可是我主说：‘除非你们把小弟弟一起带来，不准你们再来见我。’

†[Kjv]And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.

†[Nkjv]But you said to your servants, "Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall see my face no more.'

†[BBE]But you said to your servants, If your youngest brother does not come with you, you will not see my face again.

†[GNT] Then you said, "You will not be admitted to my presence again unless your youngest brother comes with you.'

†[NIV]But you told your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.'

创44:24 我们上到你仆人我们父亲那里，就把我主的话告诉了他。

†[吕]我们上到你仆人我父亲那里，将我主的话告诉了他。

†[思]我们一上到你仆人，我父亲那，就将我主的话告诉了他。

†[当代]我们回去以后，就把大人的话告诉我父亲。

†[新译]于是，我们上到你仆人我们的父亲那里，就把我主的话告诉了他。

†[Wlb]仆归、见主之仆我父、以主言告之、

†[Xdv]“我们回到父亲那里，把我主的话告诉他。

†[Kjv]And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

†[Nkjv]"So it was, when we went up to your servant my father, that we told him the words of my lord.

†[BBE]And when we went back to your servant, our father, we gave him an account of my lord's words.

†[GNT] "When we went back to our father, we told him what you had said.

†[NIV]When we went back to your servant my father, we told him what my lord had said.

创44:25 我们的父亲说：‘你们再去给我籴些粮来。’ (串)创43:2

†[吕]我们的父亲说：‘你们再去给我们买些粮食来。’

†[思]后来我们的父亲说：你们再去给我们买点粮食来。

†[当代]后来，他又吩咐仆人来这边买粮，

†[新译]后来我们的父亲说：‘你们再去替我们买些粮食回来吧。’

†[Wlb]父曰、复往、少为乞籴、

†[Xdv]后来，他要我们再来买粮。

†[Kjv]And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.

†[Nkjv]And our father said, "Go back and buy us a little food.'

†[BBE]And our father said, Go again and get us a little food.

†[GNT] Then he told us to return and buy a little food.

†[NIV]Then our father said, 'Go back and buy a little more food.'

本会注释　　犹大以有礼貌而又确切的话语提醒约瑟：是他的要求导致了便雅悯来埃及。他接着以既感人又形象的语言描述了他们年迈之父对其晚年所生之子的疼爱，以及当他们告诉他没有便雅悯他们就不能返回埃及时，他心中的悲伤。他说他们的父亲在经过一番剧烈的挣扎之后最终允许他同去时所怀有的强烈忧虑。他强调他们若不带回这年轻人的话，就会使他们的父亲白发苍苍、悲悲惨惨的下到阴间去了（见创37:35）。

创44:26 我们就说：‘我们不能下去。我们的小兄弟若和我们同往，我们就可以下去。因为，小兄弟若不与我们同往，我们必不得见那人的面。’

†[吕]我们就说：‘我们不能下去；若有我们顶的小弟弟和我们一同去，我们就可以下去；因为若没有我们顶小的弟弟和我们一同去，我们就不能见那人的面。’

†[思]我们答说：我们不能下去；除非我们的小弟弟同我们一起，我们才下去；因为我们的小弟弟不同我们在一起，我们不能见那人的面。

†[当代]仆人就告诉他我们不能就这样去买粮，除非他答应让弟弟同去，我们才可以再见大人。

†[新译]我们就说：‘我们不能下去，如果有我们最小的弟弟与我们同去，我们就下去；因为我们最小的弟弟不与我们同去，我们就不得见那人的面。’

†[Wlb]仆曰、不可往也、若季弟偕往则可、盖季弟不同行、不得见其人之面、

†[Xdv]我们对他说：‘我们不能去，除非最小的弟弟跟我们同行，我们不能再见那人；除非我们的小弟弟跟我们一道去，我们是不能去的。’

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]But we said, "We cannot go down; if our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down; for we may not see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.'

†[BBE]And we said, Only if our youngest brother goes with us will we go down; for we may not see the man's face again if our youngest brother is not with us.

†[GNT] We answered, "We cannot go; we will not be admitted to the man's presence unless our youngest brother is with us. We can go only if our youngest brother goes also.'

†[NIV]But we said, 'We cannot go down. Only if our youngest brother is with us will we go. We cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.'

创44:27 你仆人我父亲对我们说：‘你们知道我的妻子给我生了两个儿子。 (串)创46:19

†[吕]你仆人我父亲对我们说：‘你们知道我的妻子给我生了两个孩子。

†[思]你的仆人，我的父亲就对我们说：你们知道，我的妻子给我只生了两个儿子：

†[当代]我父亲就对我们说：‘你们应该知道，我妻子给我生了两个儿子。

†[新译]你仆人我的父亲对我们说：‘你们知道我的妻子只给我生了两个儿子。

†[Wlb]主之仆我父曰、尔知我妻惟生二子、

†[Xdv]父亲对我们说：‘你们知道，我的妻子拉结只给我生了两个儿子，

†[Kjv]And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:

†[Nkjv]Then your servant my father said to us, "You know that my wife bore me two sons;

†[BBE]And our father said to us, You have knowledge that my wife gave me two sons;

†[GNT] Our father said to us, "You know that my wife Rachel bore me only two sons.

†[NIV]Your servant my father said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons.

本会注释　　第一次用这样的说法，表明雅各对拉结的感情，超过利亚、辟拉、和悉帕（见创46:19）。她一直是他心中所爱。

创44:28 一个离开我出去了；我说他必是被撕碎了，直到如今我也没有见他。 (串)创37:33

†[吕]一个离开我出去了；我说，他必是被撕碎了，直到如今、我也没有见着他。

†[思]其中一个离开我出去，我猜想，他是被猛兽撕裂了，到现在，再没有见到他。

†[当代]其中一个离开了我，以后我就再没有看见他了，他一定是被野兽撕碎了。

†[新译]一个已经离开我去了，我想他必定是被野兽撕碎了；直到现在，我也没有见过他。

†[Wlb]一出不归、我曰必破裂矣、至今未见、

†[Xdv]其中的一个已经离开我去了。自从他离开以后，我没有再见过他；他一定被野兽撕碎了。

†[Kjv]And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:

†[Nkjv]and the one went out from me, and I said, "Surely he is torn to pieces"; and I have not seen him since.

†[BBE]The one went away from me, and I said, Truly he has come to a violent death; and from that time I have not seen him,

†[GNT] One of them has already left me. He must have been torn to pieces by wild animals, because I have not seen him since he left.

†[NIV]One of them went away from me, and I said, "He has surely been torn to pieces." And I have not seen him since.

本会注释　　雅各的意思是如果约瑟还活着，肯定会回来或捎信回来。自从约瑟离开希伯仑的那个不幸的日子起，雅各就再也没见过他。他只能得出结论：他的担心被完全证实了。

创44:29 现在你们又要把这个带去离开我，倘若他遭害，那便是你们使我白发苍苍、悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。’ (串)创42:4,38|创37:35

†[吕]现在你们又要把这个从我面前带走。他若遭害，那便是你们使我白发苍苍，凄凄惨惨地下阴间去了。’

†[思]如今你们连这一个也要由我面前带走；倘若他遇到什么不幸，你们就要使我这白发老人在悲痛中下到阴府了！

†[当代]要是你们把他的弟弟也带走了，而他又遇上什么意外的话，我这白发苍苍的老人就要含恨而终了。’

†[新译]现在你们又要把这个从我面前带去，如果他遇到不幸，你们就使我这个白发老人，悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。’

†[Wlb]若亦携此而去、设其遘害、则尔使我皓首惨然下阴府矣、

†[Xdv]现在你们要带这最小的离开我。要是他在路上遇到意外，你们就使我白发苍苍、悲悲惨惨地进坟墓了！’”

†[Kjv]And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

†[Nkjv]But if you take this one also from me, and calamity befalls him, you shall bring down my gray hair with sorrow to the grave.'

†[BBE]If now you take this one from me, and some evil comes to him, you will make my grey head go down in sorrow to the underworld.

†[GNT] If you take this one from me now and something happens to him, the sorrow you would cause me would kill me, as old as I am.'

†[NIV]If you take this one from me too and harm comes to him, you will bring my gray head down to the grave in misery.'

创44:30 我父亲的命与这童子的命相连。如今我回到你仆人我父亲那里，若没有童子与我们同在，

†[吕]我父亲的命和这儿童的命，简直是连在一起。如今我回到你仆人我父亲那里，若没有儿童和我们一同去，

†[思]现在，如我回到你仆人，我父亲那，孩童没有与我们在一起，－－他原与这孩童相依为命，－－

†[当代]大人，倘若我们没有把弟弟带在身边，就这样回去，我们父亲的性命本是系在他身上的，

†[新译]我父亲的命与这孩子的命，是相连在一起的。现在我回到你仆人我的父亲那里，如果没有孩子与我们在一起，

†[Wlb]父子二人、相依为命、我归见主之仆我父、而孺子不与我偕、

†[Xdv]犹大继续说：“因此，我主啊，我父亲的生命跟这孩子的命运连在一起。要是我们不带这孩子回去，

†[Kjv]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;

†[Nkjv]"Now therefore, when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us, since his life is bound up in the lad's life,

†[BBE]If then I go back to your servant, my father, without the boy, because his life and the boy's life are one,

†[GNT] "And now, sir," Judah continued, "if I go back to my father without the boy, as soon as he sees that the boy is not with me, he will die. His life is wrapped up with the life of the boy, and he is so old that the sorrow we would cause him would kill him.

†[NIV]So now, if the boy is not with us when I go back to your servant my father and if my father, whose life is closely bound up with the boy's life,

创44:31 我们的父亲见没有童子，他就必死。这便是我们使你仆人我们的父亲白发苍苍、悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。

†[吕]他见没有儿童一同回去，他是一定死的。这便是我们使你仆人我们的父亲白发苍苍，凄凄惨惨地下阴间去了。

†[思]他一见孩童没有与我们在一起，就必死无疑；那你的仆人们就要使你的仆人，我们的父亲带着白发在忧苦中下入阴府了。

†[当代]倘若他知道儿子不在，就必定会伤心死了，仆人这身为人家儿女的，难道就这样送他老人家凄凄凉凉地到阴间去吗？

†[新译]他一见没有孩子，就必定死；这样，你仆人们就使你仆人我们的父亲，这个白发老人，愁愁苦苦地下阴间去了。

†[Wlb]父不见孺子必死、是仆使主之仆我父、皓首惨然下阴府也、

†[Xdv]他见不到这孩子，一定没命；我们岂不使他白发苍苍、悲悲惨惨地进了坟墓？

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]it will happen, when he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die. So your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father with sorrow to the grave.

†[BBE]When he sees that the boy is not with us, he will come to his death, and our father's grey head will go down in sorrow to the underworld.

†[GNT] －

†[NIV]sees that the boy isn't there, he will die. Your servants will bring the gray head of our father down to the grave in sorrow.

创44:32 因为仆人曾向我父亲为这童子作保，说：‘我若不带他回来交给父亲，我便在父亲面前永远担罪。’ (串)创43:9

†[吕]因为仆人曾向我父亲为这儿童担保，说：‘我若不带他来给你，我就永远是我父亲的罪人了。’

†[思]况且你的仆人曾在我父面前为孩童担保说：如果我不将他带回来交给你，我终生在我父前负罪。

†[当代]仆人曾经向我父亲保证说一定会好好地照顾弟弟。仆人曾经对他许下诺言：要是我不能把弟弟带回来，仆人就愿意永远承担这罪名。

†[新译]因为仆人曾经向父亲担保这孩子的安全，说：‘如果我不把他带回来交还给你，我就在父亲面前终生承担这罪。’

†[Wlb]且仆曾保孺子于父曰、如不携归以见、我毕生负咎于父前、

†[Xdv]不但这样，我亲自向父亲担保，告诉他，要是我不把孩子带回给他，我愿意终生担受罪责。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]For your servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, "If I do not bring him back to you, then I shall bear the blame before my father forever.'

†[BBE]For I made myself responsible for the boy to my father, saying, If I do not give him safely back to you, let mine be the sin for ever.

†[GNT] What is more, I pledged my life to my father for the boy. I told him that if I did not bring the boy back to him, I would bear the blame all my life.

†[NIV]Your servant guaranteed the boy's safety to my father. I said, 'If I do not bring him back to you, I will bear the blame before you, my father, all my life!'

创44:33 现在求你容仆人住下，替这童子作我主的奴仆，叫童子和他哥哥们一同上去。

†[吕]如今请容你仆人住下，替这儿童做我主的奴仆，叫儿童和他哥哥们一同上去。

†[思]现在请让你的仆人留下，代替孩童给我主为奴，让孩童跟他哥哥们回去。

†[当代]现在仆人恳求大人准许仆人代替我弟弟作大人的奴仆，请大人释放他，让他跟他的哥哥回去吧！

†[新译]现在求你容许仆人留下，代替这孩子作我主的奴仆，让这孩子与他的哥哥们一同上去。

†[Wlb]今求准仆代孺子居此、为吾主之奴、容其偕兄归、

†[Xdv]因此，我主啊，我愿意留在这里，替这孩子作你的奴隶。请让他跟他哥哥们回去。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]Now therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the lad as a slave to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brothers.

†[BBE]So now let me be my lord's servant here in place of the boy, and let him go back with his brothers.

†[GNT] And now, sir, I will stay here as your slave in place of the boy; let him go back with his brothers.

†[NIV]Now then, please let your servant remain here as my lord's slave in place of the boy, and let the boy return with his brothers.

本会注释　　犹大的舍己确实是值得称赞的。为了不使年迈的父亲悲伤和痛苦，他甘愿代替更受父亲眷爱的兄弟为奴，这种精神是极为可贵的。犹大的忘我境界，很少有人达到，从未有人超过。犹大在这里表显为一个真心悔改了的人，配得上担任所应许之后裔的祖先，把他的名字赋予上帝的选民。
　　约瑟再也不怀疑他哥哥们的彻底悔改了，特别是当初怂恿把约瑟卖掉的犹大。约瑟的策略取得了完全的成功。他现在已经知道了兄弟的态度，并且满意他们的真心悔改。没有必要进一步考验他们了。他打算亮明自己的身份。

创44:34 若童子不和我同去，我怎能上去见我父亲呢？恐怕我看见灾祸临到我父亲身上。”
