KJV 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.

VULC ¹ Præcepit autem Joseph dispensatori domus suæ, dicens : Imple saccos eorum frumento, quantum possunt capere : et pone pecuniam singulorum in summitate sacci.

KJV ² 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.

VULC ² Scyphum autem meum argenteum, et pretium quod dedit tritici, pone in ore sacci junioris. Factumque est ita.

KJV ³ As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

VULC ³ Et orto mane, dimissi sunt cum asinis suis.

KJV ⁴ 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?

VULC ⁴ Jamque urbem exierant, et processerant paululum : tunc Joseph accersito dispensatore domus, Surge, inquit, et persequere viros : et apprehensis dicito : Quare reddidistis malum pro bono ?

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

VULC ⁵ scyphus, quem furati estis, ipse est in quo bibit dominus meus, et in quo augurari solet : pessimam rem fecistis.

KJV ⁶ And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.

VULC ⁶ Fecit ille ut jusserat : et apprehensis per ordinem locutus est.

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

VULC ⁷ Qui responderunt : Quare sic loquitur dominus noster, ut servi tui tantum flagitii commiserint ?

KJV ⁸ 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?

VULC ⁸ pecuniam, quam invenimus in summitate saccorum, reportavimus ad te de terra Chanaan : et quomodo consequens est ut furati simus de domo domini tui aurum vel argentum ?

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

VULC ⁹ apud quemcumque fuerit inventum servorum tuorum quod quæris, moriatur, et nos erimus servi domini nostri.

KJV ¹⁰ 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.

VULC ¹⁰ Qui dixit eis : Fiat juxta vestram sententiam : apud quemcumque fuerit inventum, ipse sit servus meus, vos autem eritis innoxii.

KJV ¹¹ Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

VULC ¹¹ Itaque festinato deponentes in terram saccos, aperuerunt singuli.

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

VULC ¹² Quos scrutatus, incipiens a majore usque ad minimum, invenit scyphum in sacco Benjamin.

KJV ¹³ Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.

VULC ¹³ At illi, scissis vestibus, oneratisque rursum asinis, reversi sunt in oppidum.

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

VULC ¹⁴ Primusque Judas cum fratribus ingressus est ad Joseph (necdum enim de loco abierat) omnesque ante eum pariter in terram corruerunt.

KJV ¹⁵ 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?

VULC ¹⁵ Quibus ille ait : Cur sic agere voluistis ? an ignoratis quod non sit similis mei in augurandi scientia ?

KJV ¹⁶ 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.

VULC ¹⁶ Cui Judas : Quid respondebimus, inquit, domino meo ? vel quid loquemur, aut juste poterimus obtendere ? Deus invenit iniquitatem servorum tuorum : en omnes servi sumus domini mei, et nos, et apud quem inventus est scyphus.

KJV ¹⁷ 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.

VULC ¹⁷ Respondit Joseph : Absit a me ut sic agam : qui furatus est scyphum, ipse sit servus meus : vos autem abite liberi ad patrem vestrum.
