Vayigash elav Yehudah vayomer bi adoni yedaber-na avdecha davar be'ozney adoni ve'al-yichar apcha be'avdecha ki chamocha keFar'oh.

וַיִּגַּ֨שׁ אֵלָ֜יו יְהוּדָ֗ה וַיֹּאמֶר֮ בִּ֣י אֲדֹנִי֒ יְדַבֶּר־נָ֨א עַבְדְּךָ֤ דָבָר֙ בְּאָזְנֵ֣י אֲדֹנִ֔י וְאַל־יִ֥חַר אַפְּךָ֖ בְּעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ כִּ֥י כָמ֖וֹךָ כְּפַרְעֹֽה׃

When he sees that the lad is not there, he will die! I will have brought your servant our father's white head down to the grave in misery.

Vehayah kir'oto ki-eyn hana'ar vamet vehoridu avadeycha et-seyvat avdecha avinu beyagon she'olah.

וְהָיָ֗ה כִּרְאוֹת֛וֹ כִּי־אֵ֥ין הַנַּ֖עַר וָמֵ֑ת וְהוֹרִ֨ידוּ עֲבָדֶ֜יךָ אֶת־שֵׂיבַ֨ת עַבְדְּךָ֥ אָבִ֛ינוּ בְּיָג֖וֹן שְׁאֹֽלָה׃

when he sees that the boy is not with us, he will die, and your servants will send the white head of your servant our father down to Sheol in grief.

45:6 There has been a famine in the area for two years, and for another five years there will be no plowing or harvest.

Ki-zeh shnatayim hara'av bekerev ha'arets ve'od chamesh shanim asher eyn-charish vekatsir.

כִּי־זֶ֛ה שְׁנָתַ֥יִם הָרָעָ֖ב בְּקֶ֣רֶב הָאָ֑רֶץ וְעוֹד֙ חָמֵ֣שׁ שָׁנִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֵין־חָרִ֖ישׁ וְקָצִּֽיר׃

It is now two years that there has been famine in the land, and there are still five years to come in which there shall be no yield from tilling.
