现在你们又要把这个带去离开我,倘若他遭害,那便是你们使我白发苍苍,悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。
And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
我父亲的命与这童子的命相连。如今我回到你仆人我父亲那里,若没有童子与我们同在,
Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;
我们的父亲见没有童子,他就必死。这便是我们使你仆人我们的父亲白发苍苍,悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。
It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
因为仆人曾向我父亲为这童子作保,说,我若不带他回来交给父亲,我便在父亲面前永远担罪。
For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
惟你救了我们脱离敌人,使恨我们的人羞愧。
But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
你使我们当作快要被吃的羊,把我们分散在列邦中。
Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.
我的凌辱,终日在我面前。我脸上的羞愧,将我遮蔽。
My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
都因那辱骂毁谤人的声音,又因仇敌和报仇人的缘故。
For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
这都临到我们身上。我们却没有忘记你。也没有违背你的约。
All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
神岂不鉴察这事吗。因为他晓得人心里的隐秘。
Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
