MLV(i)
18 Then Judah came near to him and said, Oh, my lord, I beseech you, let your servant speak a word in my lord's ears and do not let your anger burn against your servant, because you are even as Pharaoh.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have you* a father, or a brother? 20 And we said to 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 loves him.
21 And you said to your servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes upon him. 22 And we said to my lord, The young man cannot leave his father, if he should leave his father, his father would die. 23 And you said to your servants, Unless your* youngest brother come down with you*, you* will see my face no more.
24 And it happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. 25 And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food. 26 And we said, We cannot go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then will we go down, because we may not see the man's face unless our youngest brother be with us.
27 And your servant my father said to us, You* know that my wife bore me two sons. 28 And the one went out from me and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces and I have not seen him since. 29 And if you* take this one also from me and harm befall him, you* will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.
30 Now therefore when I come to your servant my father and the young man is not with us, since his life is bound up in the young man's life, 31 it will happen, when he sees that the young man is not with us, that he will die. And your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. 32 For your servant became a surety for the young man to my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.
33 Now therefore, I beseech you, let your servant abide a bondman to my lord instead of the young man and let the young man go up with his brothers. 34 For how shall I go up to my father, if the young man is not with me? Lest I see the evil that will come on my father.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have you* a father, or a brother? 20 And we said to 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 loves him.
21 And you said to your servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes upon him. 22 And we said to my lord, The young man cannot leave his father, if he should leave his father, his father would die. 23 And you said to your servants, Unless your* youngest brother come down with you*, you* will see my face no more.
24 And it happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. 25 And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food. 26 And we said, We cannot go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then will we go down, because we may not see the man's face unless our youngest brother be with us.
27 And your servant my father said to us, You* know that my wife bore me two sons. 28 And the one went out from me and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces and I have not seen him since. 29 And if you* take this one also from me and harm befall him, you* will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.
30 Now therefore when I come to your servant my father and the young man is not with us, since his life is bound up in the young man's life, 31 it will happen, when he sees that the young man is not with us, that he will die. And your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. 32 For your servant became a surety for the young man to my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.
33 Now therefore, I beseech you, let your servant abide a bondman to my lord instead of the young man and let the young man go up with his brothers. 34 For how shall I go up to my father, if the young man is not with me? Lest I see the evil that will come on my father.
