Commentary on Genesis John Calvin (continued)
JOHN CALVIN
18. Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
18. Et accessit ad eum Jehudah, et dixit, Quaeso, domine mi: loquatur quaeso servus tuus verbum in auribus domini mei, et ne irascatur furor tuus in servum tuum: quia tu sicut Pharao.
19. My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
19. Dominus meus interrogavit servos suos, dicendo, Numquid est vobis pater vel frater?
20. And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
20. Et diximus domino meo, Est nobis pater senex, et puer senectutum parvus, frater autem ejus mortuus est: et remansit ipse tantum matri suae, itaque pater ejus diligit eum.
21. And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
21. Et dixisti servis tuis, Descendere facite eum ad me, et ponam oculum meum super eum.
22. And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
22. Respondimus vero domino meo, Non potest puer relinquere patrem suum, et si reliquerit patrem suum, morietur.
23. And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
23. Tu autem dixisti servis tuis, Nisi descendat frater vester minimus vobiscum, ne addatis ut videatis faciem meam.
24. And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
24. Fuit igitur, quando ascendimus ad servum tuum patrem meum, et narravimus ei verba domini mei.
