JOHN CALVIN
11. We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no
11. Omnes nos filii ejusdem viri sumus: veraces sumus, non sunt servi tui exploratores. spies.
12. And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
12. Et dixit illis, Nequaquam: sed nuditatem terrae venistis ad videndum.
13. And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one
13. Et dixerunt, Duodecim servi tui fratres, sumus, filii viri ejusdem in terra Chenaan: et ecce, minimum est cum patre nostro hodie, et unus non est. man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
14. And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
14. Tune dixit ad eos Joseph, Hoc est quod locutus sum ad vos, dicendo, Exploratores estis.
15. Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
15. In hoc probabimini: per vitam Pharaonis, si egressi fueritis hinc, nisi quum venerit frater vester minimus hue.
16. Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
16. Mittie ex vobis unum, et accipiat fratrem vestrum, vos autem vincti eritis, et probabuntur verba vestra, anveritas sit pennes vos: sin minus, per vitam Pharaonis certe exploratores estis.
17. And he put them all together into ward three days.
17. Et congregavit eos in custodiam tribus diebus.
18. And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
18. Dixit autem eis Joseph die tertio, Hoc facite, et vivetis: Deum ego timeo.
