NASB
""But we said to my lord, 'The lad cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.'"
— Genesis 44:22, NASB
“And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.”
“And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die. ”
“We said to my lord, 'The boy can't leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.'”
“We said to my lord,‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he leaves his father, his father will die.’”
“We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die.”
“And we said to my lord, His father will not let him go; for if he went away his father would come to his death.”
“And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.”
"My lord asked his servants, saying, 'Have you a father or a brother?'
"We said to my lord, 'We have an old father and a little child of his old age. Now his brother is dead, so he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him.'
"Then you said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me that I may set my eyes on him.'
"But we said to my lord, 'The lad cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.'
"You said to your servants, however, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.'
"Thus it came about when we went up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
"Our father said, 'Go back, buy us a little food.'
