And Judah said,“ What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? Or how can we clear ourselves? God has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we and he also in whose hand the cup has been found.”

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？神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。”

犹大说：“我们对我主能说什么呢？还有什么话可说呢？我们还能为自己表白吗？上帝已经查出你仆人的罪孽了。看哪，我们与那在他手中找到杯子的人都是我主的奴隶。”

犹大说：“我们对我主能说什么呢？还有什么话可说呢？我们还能为自己表白吗？神已经查出你仆人的罪孽了。看哪，我们与那在他手中找到杯子的人都是我主的奴隶。”

犹大说：“我们能对我主说什么呢？我们还有什么话可说呢？我们如何洗脱罪名呢？上帝既然查出你仆人们的罪，我们跟那个被发现有银杯的弟弟一起做我主的奴仆吧！”

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。”

犹大说：“我们能对我主说什么呢？我们还能说什么呢？我们怎能证明自己无辜呢？神找出了你仆人们的罪孽。看哪，无论是我们还是从他手中找到杯子的那个人，现在都是我主的奴仆了！”

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。」

猶大說：「我們對我主能說甚麼呢？還有甚麼話可說呢？我們還能為自己表白嗎？上帝已經查出你僕人的罪孽了。看哪，我們與那在他手中找到杯子的人都是我主的奴隸。」

猶大說：「我們對我主能說甚麼呢？還有甚麼話可說呢？我們還能為自己表白嗎？神已經查出你僕人的罪孽了。看哪，我們與那在他手中找到杯子的人都是我主的奴隸。」

猶大說：「我們能對我主說什麼呢？我們還有什麼話可說呢？我們如何洗脫罪名呢？上帝既然查出你僕人們的罪，我們跟那個被發現有銀杯的弟弟一起做我主的奴僕吧！」

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。”

猶大說：『我們對我主還說甚麼呢？還有甚麼話可說呢？我們怎能自表為正直呢？上帝已經查出僕人的罪孽了。看哪，我們都是我主的奴僕了：不但那杯在他手中找着的那人而已，我們也都是。』

猶大說：「我們能對我主說什麼呢？我們還能說什麼呢？我們怎能證明自己無辜呢？神找出了你僕人們的罪孽。看哪，無論是我們還是從他手中找到杯子的那個人，現在都是我主的奴僕了！」

猶大曰、我儕於主、夫復何言、尚有何辭、焉能自解、上帝摘僕之咎、獲爵於其手者、與我儕咸為主之奴、

猶大曰、我儕告主、豈尚有言辭、焉能自伸、上帝摘僕之咎。遇有爵於其手者、與我儕咸為主之奴。

猶大曰、天主察僕等之罪、我儕於我主前尚有何言、尚有何辯、尚能自明無罪乎、獲爵於其手者、則彼與我儕咸為我主之奴、

“ 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.”

“ What can we say to you?” Judah replied.“ What can we say? How can we prove we haven’t done anything wrong? God has shown you that we are guilty. We are now your slaves. All of us are, including the one found to have the cup.”

Judah answered,“ Oh, my lord, what can we say to you? How can we explain this? How can we prove our innocence? God is punishing us for our sins. My lord, we have all returned to be your slaves— all of us, not just our brother who had your cup in his sack.”

“ What can we say to my lord?” Judah replied.“ How can we plead? How can we justify ourselves? God has exposed your servants’ iniquity. We are now my lord’s slaves— both we and the one in whose possession the cup was found.”

So Judah said,“ What can we say to my lord? What words can we speak? And how can we justify ourselves? God has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we and the one in whose possession the cup has been found.”

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.”

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 bondmen, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.

“ What can we say to my lord?” Judah replied.“ How can we plead? How can we justify ourselves? God has exposed your servants’ iniquity. We are now my lord’s slaves— both we and the one in whose possession the cup was found.”

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.

Judah replied,“ What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? How can we clear ourselves? God has exposed the sin of your servants! We are now my lord’s slaves, we and the one in whose possession the cup was found.”

Judah said,“ What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? How will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we and he also in whose hand the cup is found.”

Whichever of your servants is found with it shall die, and we also will be my lord’s servants.”

To you, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, those who are near and those who are far away, in all the lands to which you have driven them, because of the treachery that they have committed against you.

But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord, and be sure your sin will find you out.

Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

For your servant became a pledge of safety for the boy to my father, saying,‘ If I do not bring him back to you, then I shall bear the blame before my father all my life.’

He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord.

Therefore by this the guilt of Jacob will be atoned for, and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin: when he makes all the stones of the altars like chalk stones crushed to pieces, no Asherim or incense altars will remain standing.

For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.

Then they said to one another,“ In truth we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us and we did not listen. That is why this distress has come upon us.”And Reuben answered them,“ Did I not tell you not to sin against the boy? But you did not listen. So now there comes a reckoning for his blood.”

Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said,“ Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”

“ Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.

But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things, for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. And the anger of the Lord burned against the people of Israel.

O Lord, the God of Israel, you are just, for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is today. Behold, we are before you in our guilt, for none can stand before you because of this.”

They saw him from afar, and before he came near to them they conspired against him to kill him.They said to one another,“ Here comes this dreamer.Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits. Then we will say that a fierce animal has devoured him, and we will see what will become of his dreams.”But when Reuben heard it, he rescued him out of their hands, saying,“ Let us not take his life.”And Reuben said to them,“ Shed no blood; throw him into this pit here in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him”— that he might rescue him out of their hand to restore him to his father.So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, the robe of many colors that he wore.And they took him and threw him into a pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it.Then they sat down to eat. And looking up they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing gum, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry it down to Egypt.Then Judah said to his brothers,“ What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him.Then Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.

If one is burdened with the blood of another, he will be a fugitive until death; let no one help him.

Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.”

“ If there is a dispute between men and they come into court and the judges decide between them, acquitting the innocent and condemning the guilty,

Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles,“ Brothers, what shall we do?”

And Adoni-bezek said,“ Seventy kings with their thumbs and their big toes cut off used to pick up scraps under my table. As I have done, so God has repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

And he brought near his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

And Judah said to Israel his father,“ Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones.I will be a pledge of his safety. From my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.

“ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments,

And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard.
