Genesis 44:34

For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.

KJV

Non enim possum redire ad patrem meum, absente puero : ne calamitatis, quæ oppressura est patrem meum, testis assistam.

Vulgate

πῶς γὰρ ἀναβήσομαι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα, τοῦ παιδίου μὴ ὄντος μεθ’ ἡμῶν; ἵνα μὴ ἴδω τὰ κακὰ ἃ εὑρήσει τὸν πατέρα μου.

LXX

For how shall I go up to my father, if the lad be not with me? lest I see the evil that shall come on my father.
