《圣经》（新旧约全书）

小北

我听见埃及有粮，你们可以下去，从那里为我们籴些来，使我们可以存活，不至于死。
And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die

小北

于是，约瑟的十个哥哥都下埃及籴粮去了。
And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt

小北

但约瑟的兄弟便雅悯，雅各没有打发他和哥哥们同去，因为雅各说，恐怕他遭害。
But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him

小北

来籴粮的人中有以色列的儿子们，因为迦南地也有饥荒。
And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan

小北

当时治理埃及地的是约瑟。粜粮给那地众民的就是他。约瑟的哥哥们来了，脸伏于地，向他下拜。
And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth

小北

约瑟看见他哥哥们，就认得他们，却装作生人，向他们说些严厉话，问他们说，你们从哪里来。他们说，我们从迦南地来籴粮。
And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food

小北

约瑟认得他哥哥们，他们却不认得他。
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him

小北

约瑟想起从前所作的那两个梦，就对他们说，你们是奸细，来窥探这地的虚实。
And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come

小北

他们对他说，我主阿，不是的。仆人们是籴粮来的。
And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come

小北

我们都是一个人的儿子，是诚实人。仆人们并不是奸细。
We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies
