וַֽיְהִ֞י
and=he/it_was
This phrase introduces an important event and helps create suspense so that readers will wonder what the outcome will be. Many translations omit it happened because it is not natural in their language. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “But it so happened that”
כִּי בָ֣אנוּ אֶל הַמָּל֗וֹן וַֽנִּפְתְּחָה֙ אֶת אַמְתְּחֹתֵ֔ינוּ
that/for/because/then/when came to/towards the,lodging_place and,opened, DOM sacks,our
See how you translated the lodging place in Gen 42:27. Alternate translation: “when we arrived at the place where we stayed for the night, we opened our sacks”

וְהִנֵּ֤ה כֶֽסֶף אִישׁ֙ בְּפִ֣י אַמְתַּחְתּ֔וֹ
and=see/lo/see! money (a)_man in/on/at/with,mouth sack,his
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Also, see how you translated “in the mouth of … sacks” in verse 12. Alternate translation: “and we were surprised to see that our bags of money were in the top of each of our sacks!” or “There in the opening of each of our sacks was the silver we had given to you for the grain!”

כַּסְפֵּ֖נוּ בְּמִשְׁקָל֑וֹ
money,our in/on/at/with,weight,its
The silver was weighed in shekels (Gen 20:16; 23:15-16; 37:28) to determine how much to pay for something. See how you translated silver in Gen 42:25, 27, 35. Alternate translation: “The full weight of money was there!” or “The silver was all there!”

and,brought_~_back DOM=him/it
Alternate translation: “But we brought it all back” or “So we brought all that money back”

Alternate translation: “with us to return to you.”
43:19-22 The brothers, completely vulnerable and feeling the weight of God’s judgment on their consciences, approached the manager in desperation.
