19my lord. Thou didst ask thy servants the first time: Have you a father or a brother?my lord. Thou didest aske thy seruantes the first time: Haue you a father or a brother?dominus meus. Interrogasti prius servos tuos : Habetis patrem aut fratrem ?
20and we answered thee my lord: We have a father an old man, and a little boy, that was born in his old age; whose brother by the mother is dead: and his mother hath him only, and his father loveth him tenderly.and we answered thee my lord: We haue a father an old man, and a litle boy, that was borne in his old age; whose brother by the mother is dead: and his mother hath him only, and his father loueth him tenderly.et nos respondimus tibi domino meo : Est nobis pater senex, et puer parvulus, qui in senectute illius natus est : cujus uterinus frater mortuus est : et ipsum solum habet mater sua, pater vero tenere diligit eum.
21And thou saidst to thy servants: Bring him hither to me, and I will set mine eyes on him.And thou saidst to thy seruants: Bring him hither to me, and I wil set myn eyes on him.Dixistique servis tuis : Adducite eum ad me, et ponam oculos meos super illum.
22We suggested to my lord: The boy can not leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die.We suggested to my lord: The boy can not leaue his father: for if he leaue him, he wil die.Suggessimus domino meo : Non potest puer relinquere patrem suum : si enim illum dimiserit, morietur.
23And thou saidst to thy servants: Unless your youngest brother come with you, you shall no more see my face.And thou saidest to thy seruants: Vnlesse your youngest brother come with you, you shal no more see my face.Et dixisti servis tuis : Nisi venerit frater vester minimus vobiscum, non videbitis amplius faciem meam.
24Therefore when we were gone up to thy servant our father, we told him all things that my lord did speak.Therfore when we were gone vp to thy seruant our father, we told him al thinges that my lord did speake.Cum ergo ascendissemus ad famulum tuum patrem nostrum, narravimus ei omnia quæ locutus est dominus meus.
25And our father said: Go again, and buy us a little wheat.And our father said: Goe againe, and bye vs a litle wheate.Et dixit pater noster : Revertimini, et emite nobis parum tritici.
26To whom we said: We can not go: if our youngest brother shall go down with us, we will set forward together: otherwise he being absent, we dare not see the man's face.To whom we said: We can not goe: if our youngest brother shal goe downe with vs, we wil set forward together: otherwise he being absent, we dare not see the mans face.Cui diximus : Ire non possumus : si frater noster minimus descenderit nobiscum, proficiscemur simul : alioquin illo absente, non audemus videre faciem viri.

29If you take this also, and ought befall him in the way, you shall bring down my hoar grey hairs, my aged head · Vulgate: canos with sorrow unto the place of the dead below, the limbo of the Fathers: see the Genesis 42:38 annotation · Vulgate: inferos.If you take this also, and ought befal him in the way, you shal bring downe my hoare hayres with sorow vnto hel.Si tuleritis et istum, et aliquid ei in via contigerit, deducetis canos meos cum mœrore ad inferos.
30Therefore if I shall enter to thy servant our father, and the boy be lacking, not there · Vulgate: defuerit (whereas his life dependeth upon the life of him)Therfore if I shal enter to thy seruant our father, and the boy be wanting (wheras his life dependeth vpon the life of him)Igitur si intravero ad servum tuum patrem nostrum, et puer defuerit (cum anima illius ex hujus anima pendeat),
31and he shall see that he is not with us, he will die, and thy servants shall bring down his hoar hairs with sorrow unto hell.and he shal see that he is not with vs, he wil dye, & thy seruants shal bring downe his hoare hayres with sorow vnto hel.videritque eum non esse nobiscum, morietur, et deducent famuli tui canos ejus cum dolore ad inferos.
32Let me be thy very own · Vulgate: proprie servant, that did take him into my protection and promised saying: Unless I bring him again I will be guilty of sin against my father for ever.Let me be thy proper seruant, that did take him into my protection and promised saying: Vnlesse I bring him againe I wil be guilty of sinne against my father for euer.Ego proprie servus tuus sim qui in meam hunc recepi fidem, et spopondi dicens : Nisi reduxero eum, peccati reus ero in patrem meum omni tempore.
33I therefore thy servant will tarry instead of the child in the service of my lord, and let the child go up with his brethren.I therfore thy seruant wil tary in steed of the childe in the seruice of my lord, and let the childe goe vp with his brethren.Manebo itaque servus tuus pro puero in ministerio domini mei, et puer ascendat cum fratribus suis.
34For I can not return to my father, the child being absent; lest I stand by a witness of the calamity, that shall oppress my father.For I can not returne to my father, the childe being absent; lest I stand by a witnes of the calamitie, that shal oppresse my father.Non enim possum redire ad patrem meum, absente puero : ne calamitatis, quæ oppressura est patrem meum, testis assistam.
