（可拉后裔的训诲诗，交与伶长）神阿，你在古时，我们列祖的日子，所行的事，我们亲耳听见了，我们的列祖，也给我们述说过。
We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
我们定要成就我们口中所出的一切话，向天后烧香，浇奠祭，按着我们与我们列祖，君王，首领在犹大的城邑中和耶路撒冷的街市上素常所行的一样。因为那时我们吃饱饭，享福乐，并不见灾祸。
But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
并将我的银杯和那少年人籴粮的银子一同装在他的口袋里。家宰就照约瑟所说的话行了。
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.
天一亮就打发那些人带着驴走了。
As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
他们出城走了不远，约瑟对家宰说，起来，追那些人去，追上了就对他们说，你们为什么以恶报善呢。
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?
这不是我主人饮酒的杯吗。岂不是他占卜用的吗。你们这样行是作恶了。
Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
家宰追上他们，将这些话对他们说了。
And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
你仆人中无论在谁那里搜出来，就叫他死，我们也作我主的奴仆。
With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
家宰说，现在就照你们的话行吧。在谁那里搜出来，谁就作我的奴仆。其馀的都没有罪。
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.
于是他们各人急忙把口袋卸在地下，各人打开口袋。
Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
