《圣经》（新旧约全书）

小北

你若打发我们的兄弟与我们同去，我们就下去给你籴粮。
If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food

小北

你若不打发他去，我们就不下去，因为那人对我们说，你们的兄弟若不与你们同来，你们就不得见我的面。
But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you

小北

以色列说，你们为什么这样害我，告诉那人你们还有兄弟呢，
And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?

小北

他们回答说，那人详细问到我们和我们的亲属，说，你们的父亲还在吗。你们还有兄弟吗。我们就按着他所问的告诉他，焉能知道他要说，必须把你们的兄弟带下来呢。
And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?

小北

犹大又对他父亲以色列说，你打发童子与我同去，我们就起身下去，好叫我们和你，并我们的妇人孩子，都得存活，不至于死。
And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones

小北

我为他作保。你可以从我手中追讨，我若不带他回来交在你面前，我情愿永远担罪。
I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever

小北

我们若没有耽搁，如今第二次都回来了。
For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time

小北

他们的父亲以色列说，若必须如此，你们就当这样行，可以将这地土产中最好的乳香，蜂蜜，香料，没药，榧子，杏仁都取一点，收在器具里，带下去送给那人作礼物，
And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds

小北

又要手里加倍地带银子，并将归还在你们口袋内的银子仍带在手里。那或者是错了。
And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight

小北

也带着你们的兄弟，起身去见那人。
Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man
