創44:1（UCV）【約瑟用計策留弟弟以試諸兄】約瑟吩咐家宰說：「把糧食裝滿這些人的口袋，儘著他們的驢所能馱的，又把各人的銀子放在各人的口袋裡，

創44:1（NCV）【銀杯藏在便雅憫的布袋裡】約瑟吩咐管家說：「把糧食裝滿這些人的布袋，要盡他們所能攜帶的，又把各人的銀子放在他們的袋口；

創44:1（CLV）約瑟吩咐管家把糧食盡量裝進他們的布袋裡，然後把各人的銀子放回袋中。

Genesis 44:1（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.

Genesis 44:1（NIV）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.

創44:2（UCV）並將我的銀杯，和那少年人糴糧的銀子，一同裝在他的口袋裡。」家宰就照約瑟所說的話行了；

創44:2（NCV）把我的銀杯，放在最小的袋口，連同他買糧食的銀子放進去。」管家就照著約瑟吩咐的話去作。

創44:2（CLV）約瑟又吩咐管家去把自己的銀杯跟買糧的銀子一起放在便雅憫的布袋裡。

Genesis 44:2（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.

Genesis 44:2（NIV）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.

創44:3（UCV）天一亮就打發那些人帶著驢走了。

創44:3（NCV）早晨天一亮，那些人和他們的驢子，都被打發走了。

創44:3（CLV）第二天清早，他們就帶著驢，馱著糧食離開了。

Genesis 44:3（KJV）As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

Genesis 44:3（NIV）As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

創44:4（UCV）他們出城走了不遠，約瑟對家宰說：「起來！追那些人去，追上了就對他們說：『你們為甚麼以惡報善呢？

創44:4（NCV）他們出了城，走了不遠，約瑟就對管家說：「起來，追趕那些人；追上了，就對他們說：『你為甚麼以惡報善呢﹖

創44:4（CLV）他們出城不久，約瑟就對管家說：「你快去追趕他們，追上了就質問他們為甚麼要這樣的以怨報德？

Genesis 44:4（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?

Genesis 44:4（NIV）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?

創44:5（UCV）這不是我主人飲酒的杯嗎？豈不是他占卜用的嗎？你們這樣行是作惡了。』」

創44:5（NCV）這不是我主人喝酒，和占卜用的杯嗎﹖你們所作的，實在不對。』」

創44:5（CLV）為甚麼要偷去我用來喝酒和占卜的銀杯，告訴他們，說他們實在是做錯了！」

Genesis 44:5（KJV）Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.

Genesis 44:5（NIV）Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.

創44:6（UCV）家宰追上他們，將這些話對他們說了。

創44:6（NCV）管家追上了他們，就對他們說了這些話。

創44:6（CLV）於是，管家就追上了他們，把約瑟的話轉告他們。

Genesis 44:6（KJV）And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.

Genesis 44:6（NIV）And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.

創44:7（UCV）他們回答說：「我主為甚麼說這樣的話呢？你僕人斷不能作這樣的事。

創44:7（NCV）他們對管家說：「我主為甚麼說這樣的話呢﹖你的僕人絕不會作這樣的事。

創44:7（CLV）他們驚慌地回答說：「先生，我們實在不明白你在說甚麼啊！我們是不會幹這種事的。

Genesis 44:7（KJV）And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:

Genesis 44:7（NIV）And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:

創44:8（UCV）你看，我們從前在口袋裡所見的銀子，尚且從迦南地帶來還你，我們怎能從你主人家裡偷竊金銀呢？

創44:8（NCV）你看，我們從前在袋口發現的銀子，尚且從迦南地帶來還給你，我們又怎會從你主人的家裡偷取金銀呢﹖

創44:8（CLV）你看，我們不是把上次留在布袋裡的錢都帶回來嗎？我們又怎麼會偷你主人的金銀呢？

Genesis 44:8（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?

Genesis 44:8（NIV）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?

創44:9（UCV）你僕人中，無論在誰那裡搜出來，就叫他死，我們也作我主的奴僕。」

創44:9（NCV）在你僕人當中，無論在誰那裡搜出來，誰就要死，我們也要作我主的奴僕。」

創44:9（CLV）好吧！倘若你在我們哪一個人身上搜到他的銀杯，你們就把他處死吧！我們也願意永遠作你主人的奴僕。」

Genesis 44:9（KJV）With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.

Genesis 44:9（NIV）With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.

創44:10（UCV）家宰說：「現在就照你們的話行吧！在誰那裡搜出來，誰就作我的奴僕；其餘的都沒有罪。」

創44:10（NCV）管家說：「現在就照你們的話作吧，只是在誰那裡搜出來，誰就要作我的奴僕，其餘的人都沒有罪。」

創44:10（CLV）管家說：「好，我們就這樣決定吧！銀杯在誰那裡搜出來，誰就作我主人的奴僕，其他的人都沒有罪。」

Genesis 44:10（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.

Genesis 44:10（NIV）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.

創44:11（UCV）於是他們各人急忙把口袋卸在地下，各人打開口袋。

創44:11（NCV）於是，他們急忙把自己的布袋卸在地上，各人打開自己的布袋。

創44:11（CLV）於是，他們就急忙把布袋取下來，放在地上打開來查看。

Genesis 44:11（KJV）Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

Genesis 44:11（NIV）Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

創44:12（UCV）家宰就搜查，從年長的起，到年幼的為止，那杯竟在便雅憫的口袋裡搜出來。

創44:12（NCV）家宰就搜查，從最大的開始，查到最小的。那杯竟在便雅憫的布袋裡搜出來了。

創44:12（CLV）管家就從最年長的開始搜查，結果在便雅憫的布袋那裡搜出了約瑟的銀杯！

Genesis 44:12（KJV）And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

Genesis 44:12（NIV）And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

創44:13（UCV）他們就撕裂衣服，各人把馱子抬在驢上，回城去了。

創44:13（NCV）他們就撕裂自己的衣服，各人又把擔子馱在驢上，回城去了。

創44:13（CLV）他們就非常難過，撕裂了衣服，重新收拾一切，回到城裡去。

Genesis 44:13（KJV）Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.

Genesis 44:13（NIV）Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.

創44:14（UCV）猶大和他弟兄們來到約瑟的屋中，約瑟還在那裡，他們就在他面前俯伏於地。

創44:14（NCV）猶大和他的兄弟來到約瑟的家裡，那時約瑟還在那裡；他們就在他面前俯伏在地。

創44:14（CLV）猶大和其他兄弟回到約瑟家裡，見到了約瑟就俯伏在他面前。

Genesis 44:14（KJV）And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.

Genesis 44:14（NIV）And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.

創44:15（UCV）約瑟對他們說：「你們作的是甚麼事呢？你們豈不知像我這樣的人必能占卜嗎？」

創44:15（NCV）約瑟對他們說：「你們所作的是甚麼事呢﹖你們不知道像我這樣的人必能占卜嗎﹖」

創44:15（CLV）約瑟假意斥責他們說：「你們幹的是甚麼事呢？難道你們不知道像我這樣的人是懂得占卜的嗎？」

Genesis 44:15（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?

Genesis 44:15（NIV）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?

創44:16（UCV）猶大說：「我們對我主說甚麼呢？還有甚麼話可說呢？我們怎能自己表白出來呢？　神已經查出僕人的罪孽了，我們與那在他手中搜出杯來的都是我主的奴僕。」

創44:16（NCV）猶大說：「我們對我主可以說甚麼呢﹖我們還有甚麼可說的呢﹖我們怎能證明自己是清白的呢﹖　神已經查出你僕人們的罪孽了。看哪！我們和那在他手裡搜出杯來的，都是我主的奴僕了。」

創44:16（CLV）猶大說：「唉，我們還有甚麼話可說的呢？我們又怎樣可以洗脫罪名呢？上帝既然要懲罰我們，那就讓我們跟那個被搜出藏有銀杯的弟弟一起作你的奴僕吧！」

Genesis 44:16（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.

Genesis 44:16（NIV）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.

創44:17（UCV）約瑟說：「我斷不能這樣行！在誰的手中搜出杯來，誰就作我的奴僕；至於你們，可以平平安安地上你們父親那裡去。」

創44:17（NCV）約瑟說：「我絕不能這樣作。在誰的手裡搜出杯來，誰就要作我的奴僕；你們其餘的人，可以平平安安地上你們父親那裡去。」

創44:17（CLV）約瑟回答說：「不！誰偷了我的杯，誰就作我的奴僕好了，其他的人可以回家去了。」

Genesis 44:17（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.

Genesis 44:17（NIV）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.

創44:18（UCV）猶大挨近他說：「我主啊！求你容僕人說一句話給我主聽，不要向僕人發烈怒，因為你如同法老一樣。

創44:18（NCV）【猶大替便雅憫求情】猶大走近約瑟身邊，說：「我主啊！求你容許僕人說一句話給我主聽，請不要向僕人發烈怒，因為你好像法老一樣。

創44:18（CLV）猶大聽見約瑟要打發他們回去，就靠前來對他說：「大人啊，你的權位可以媲美法老的地位，但也求你讓我說一句話，也求你千萬不要發怒。

Genesis 44:18（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.

Genesis 44:18（NIV）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.

創44:19（UCV）我主曾問僕人們說：『你們有父親、有兄弟沒有？』

創44:19（NCV）我主曾經問僕人們說：『你們還有父親或其他兄弟沒有﹖』

創44:19（CLV）大人曾經問僕人是否有父親、有兄弟；

Genesis 44:19（KJV）My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?

Genesis 44:19（NIV）My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?

創44:20（UCV）我們對我主說：『我們有父親，已經年老，還有他老年所生的一個小孩子。他哥哥死了，他母親只撇下他一人，他父親疼愛他。』

創44:20（NCV）我們曾經回答我主：『我們還有年老的父親，和最小的弟弟，是他年老時所生的。他的哥哥死了，他母親只剩下他一個孩子，他父親非常愛他。』

創44:20（CLV）僕人就回答大人說：『我們的父親已經年紀老邁，他在晚年得了一個兒子，就是我們最年幼的弟弟，他的親生哥哥已經死了，他母親就只剩下他一個兒子，所以，他父親非常疼愛他。』

Genesis 44:20（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.

Genesis 44:20（NIV）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.

創44:21（UCV）你對僕人說：『把他帶到我這裡來，叫我親眼看看他。』

創44:21（NCV）你就對僕人們說：『把他帶下來到我這裡，我要親眼看看他。』

創44:21（CLV）大人吩咐僕人把我弟弟帶來讓大人看看，

Genesis 44:21（KJV）And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.

Genesis 44:21（NIV）And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.

創44:22（UCV）我們對我主說：『童子不能離開他父親，若是離開，他父親必死。』

創44:22（NCV）我們對我主說：『那孩子是不能離開他父親的，如果離開了，他父親必定死。』

創44:22（CLV）僕人就回答大人說他不能離開他父親，因為要是他父親見不到他，就會死。

Genesis 44:22（KJV）And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

Genesis 44:22（NIV）And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

創44:23（UCV）你對僕人說：『你們的小兄弟若不與你們一同下來，你們就不得再見我的面。』

創44:23（NCV）你對僕人們說：『如果你們最小的弟弟不與你們一同下來，你們就不得見我的面。』

創44:23（CLV）可是，大人卻對僕人表示：如果僕人不把我弟弟帶來，大人就不要再見僕人。

Genesis 44:23（KJV）And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.

Genesis 44:23（NIV）And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.

創44:24（UCV）我們上到你僕人我們父親那裡，就把我主的話告訴了他。

創44:24（NCV）於是，我們上到你僕人我們父的親那裡，就把我主的話告訴了他。

創44:24（CLV）我們回去以後，就把大人的話告訴我父親。

Genesis 44:24（KJV）And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

Genesis 44:24（NIV）And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

創44:25（UCV）我們的父親說：『你們再去給我糴些糧來。』

創44:25（NCV）後來我們的父親說：『你們再去替我們買些糧食回來吧。』

創44:25（CLV）後來，他又吩咐僕人來這邊買糧，

Genesis 44:25（KJV）And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.

Genesis 44:25（NIV）And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.

創44:26（UCV）我們就說：『我們不能下去，我們的小兄弟若和我們同往，我們就可以下去，因為小兄弟若不與我們同往，我們必不得見那人的面。』

創44:26（NCV）我們就說：『我們不能下去，如果有我們最小的弟弟與我們同去，我們就下去；因為我們最小的弟弟不與我們同去，我們就不得見那人的面。』

創44:26（CLV）僕人就告訴他我們不能就這樣去買糧，除非他答應讓弟弟同去，我們才可以再見大人。

Genesis 44:26（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.

Genesis 44:26（NIV）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.

創44:27（UCV）你僕人我父親對我們說：『你們知道我的妻子給我生了兩個兒子，

創44:27（NCV）你僕人我的父親對我們說：『你們知道我的妻子只給我生了兩個兒子。

創44:27（CLV）我父親就對我們說：『你們應該知道，我妻子給我生了兩個兒子。

Genesis 44:27（KJV）And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:

Genesis 44:27（NIV）And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:

創44:28（UCV）一個離開我出去了；我說：他必是被撕碎了，直到如今我也沒有見他。

創44:28（NCV）一個已經離開我去了，我想他必定是被野獸撕碎了；直到現在，我也沒有見過他。

創44:28（CLV）其中一個離開了我，以後我就再沒有看見他了，他一定是被野獸撕碎了。

Genesis 44:28（KJV）And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:

Genesis 44:28（NIV）And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:

創44:29（UCV）現在你們又要把這個帶去離開我，倘若他遭害，那便是你們使我白髮蒼蒼、悲悲慘慘地下陰間去了。』

創44:29（NCV）現在你們又要把這個從我面前帶去，如果他遇到不幸，你們就使我這個白髮老人，悲悲慘慘地下陰間去了。』

創44:29（CLV）要是你們把他的弟弟也帶走了，而他又遇上甚麼意外的話，我這白髮蒼蒼的老人就要含恨而終了。』

Genesis 44:29（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.

Genesis 44:29（NIV）And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

創44:30（UCV）我父親的命與這童子的命相連，如今我回到你僕人我父親那裡，若沒有童子與我們同在，

創44:30（NCV）我父親的命與這孩子的命，是相連在一起的，現在我回到你僕人我的父親那裡，如果沒有孩子與我們在一起，

創44:30（CLV）大人，倘若我們沒有把弟弟帶在身邊，就這樣回去，我們父親的性命本是繫在他身上的，

Genesis 44:30（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;

Genesis 44:30（NIV）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;

創44:31（UCV）我們的父親見沒有童子，他就必死。這便是我們使你僕人我們的父親，白髮蒼蒼、悲悲慘慘地下陰間去了。

創44:31（NCV）他一見沒有孩子，就必定死；這樣，你僕人們就使你僕人我們的父親，這個白髮老人，愁愁苦苦地下陰間去了。

創44:31（CLV）倘若他知道兒子不在，就必定會傷心死了，僕人這身為人家兒女的，難道就這樣送他老人家淒淒涼涼地到陰間去嗎？

Genesis 44:31（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.

Genesis 44:31（NIV）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.

創44:32（UCV）因為僕人曾向我父親為這童子作保說：『我若不帶他回來交給父親，我便在父親面前永遠擔罪。』

創44:32（NCV）因為僕人曾經向父親擔保這孩子的安全，說：『如果我不把他帶回來交還給你，我就在父親面前終身承擔這罪。』

創44:32（CLV）僕人曾經向我父親保證說一定會好好地照顧弟弟。僕人曾經對他許下諾言：要是我不能把弟弟帶回來，僕人就願意永遠承擔這罪名。

Genesis 44:32（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.

Genesis 44:32（NIV）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.

創44:33（UCV）現在求你容僕人住下，替這童子作我主的奴僕，叫童子，和他哥哥們一同上去。

創44:33（NCV）現在求你容許僕人留下，代替這孩子作我主的奴僕，讓這孩子與他的哥哥們一同上去。

創44:33（CLV）現在僕人懇求大人准許僕人代替我弟弟作大人的奴僕，請大人釋放他，讓他跟他的哥哥回去吧！

Genesis 44:33（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.

Genesis 44:33（NIV）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.

創44:34（UCV）若童子不和我同去，我怎能上去見我父親呢？恐怕我看見災禍臨到我父親身上。」

創44:34（NCV）因為如果孩子沒有與我同去，我怎能上去見我的父親呢﹖恐怕我會看見災禍臨到我父親身上。」

創44:34（CLV）僕人沒有弟弟同行，真不知怎樣向父親交待了！僕人又怎能忍心看著父親含恨而終呢？」

Genesis 44:34（KJV）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.

Genesis 44:34（NIV）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.
