Genesis 44
1 He commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
Josef nomiyo jarit ode chik niya, “Ket cham mathoth e gunde jogo ma ginyalo tingʼo, kendo itwe pesa e dho ogund ngʼato ka ngʼato.
2 Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money.” He did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
Bangʼe to iso kikombena mar mula ei ogund wuowi matin kaachiel gi pesa mar rundo.” Kendo jarit od Josef notimo kaka Josef nowachone.
3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
Kinyne kogwen, jogo nokawo pundegi kendo negiwuok.
4 When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, ‘Why have you rewarded evil for good?
Kane pok gidhi mabor gi dala Josef nowacho ne jatichne niya, ring ilaw joka piyo, kendo ka imakogi, wachnegi niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo uchulo rach kar ber?
5 Isn’t this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.’”
Donge ma e okombe ma ruodha metho godo kendo otiyogo kuom koro wach? Gima utimoni en gima rach.”
6 He overtook them, and he spoke these words to them.
E kinde manochopo irgi, nonuoyonegi wechegi.
7 They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing!
To negiwachone niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ruodha wacho gigo? Jotichgi bor gi tim ma kamano!
8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house?
Donge ne waduogonu kata mana pesa mane wayudo e ogundewa kane waa e piny Kanaan. Koro ere gima dimi wakwal fedha kata dhahabu e od ruodhi?
9 With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.”
Ka diyude kuom jatichni moro amora, to obiro tho; kendo joma odongʼ biro bedo wasumb ruodha.”
10 He said, “Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom it is found will be my slave; and you will be blameless.”
Nowacho niya, “Mano ber, obed mana kaka uwachono. Ngʼato angʼata manoyud kode nobed misumbana, to joma odongʼ nobed thuolo.”
11 Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
Ngʼato ka ngʼato noyieyo ogunde piny e ngʼe pundegi kendo ogonyo.
12 He searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
Eka ne jarit ochako menyo kochako gi wuowi maduongʼ kendo otieko gi wuowi matin kendo kikombe noyudi ei ogund Benjamin.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.
Kane gineno mano ne giyiecho lepgi, eka ne giyieyo pundegi kendo gidok dala Josef.
14 Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.
Josef pod ne ni e ot kane Juda kod owetene odonjo, kendo negipodho auma e nyime.
15 Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed do divination?”
Josef nowachonegi niya, “Ma en angʼo ma usetimoni? Donge ungʼeyo ni ngʼato kaka an nyalo fwenyo gimoro gi yor koro?”
16 Judah said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? How will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we and he also in whose hand the cup is found.”
Juda nodwoke niya, “Dwa wach angʼo ne ruodha? Dwa wach angʼo? Ere kaka wanyalo nyiso jatichwa? Nyasaye oseelo richo jatichni. Koro wan wasumbi ruodha; wan wawegi kod ngʼatno moseyud kikombeni kuome.”
17 He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”
To Josef nowacho niya, “Abor gi timo gima kamano! Mana ngʼatno mane oyudi gi kikombena ema biro bet misumbana. Ji modongʼ duto doguru ir wuonu gi kwe.”
18 Then Judah came near to him, and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.
Eka Juda nodhi ire kendo owachone niya, “Yaye ruodha, yie mondo jatichni owuo kodi. Kik ikech gi jatichni kata obedo ni tekoni mar loch romre gi mar Farao owuon.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father, or a brother?’
Ruodha nopenjo jotichne ni, ‘Bende un gi wuonu kata owadu?’
20 We said to 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 loves him.’
Kendo ne wadwoke ni, ‘Wan kod wuonwa to oti, kendo nitie wuowi matin mane onywolo ka oti. Owadgi wuowino ne osetho kendo en e wuod min-gi kende modongʼ, kendo wuon-gi ohere.’
21 You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’
“To ne iwacho ni jotichni ni, ‘Keleuru ka mondo anene an awuon.’
22 We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’
Kendo ne wawachone ruodha ni, ‘Rawerano ok nyal weyo wuon-gi! Ka oweye to wuon-gi biro tho.’
23 You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’
To ne iwachone jotichni ni, ‘Ka ok ubiro gi owadu matin, to ok unuchak une wangʼa kendo.’
24 When we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Kane wadok ir wuonwa ma jatichni, ne wanyise gima ruodha osewacho.
25 Our father said, ‘Go again and buy us a little food.’
“Eka wuonwa nowacho ni, ‘Doguru mondo udhi ungʼiew chiemo moko kendo.’
26 We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’
To ne wawachone ni, ‘Ok wanyal dhi. Wanyalo mana dhi ka owadwa matin dhi kodwa. Ok wanyal neno wangʼ ngʼatno makmana ka owadwa matin ni kodwa.’
27 Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.
“Jatichni ma wuonwa nowachonwa ni, ‘Ungʼeyo ni chiega nonywolona yawuowi ariyo.
28 One went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces;” and I haven’t seen him since.
Achiel ne olal, kendo ne awacho niya, “Adier osekidhe matindo tindo.” Kendo pok achak anene.
29 If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.’ (Sheol h7585)
Ka ukawo owadgi bende ma gimoro dhi ohinye, to di umi chunya chandruok ma atho ka an gi kuyo to aseti.’ (Sheol h7585)
30 Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;
“Koro ka wadok ir wuonwa ma misumbani ka wuowini mangimane omakore kode onge to obiro tho,
31 it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
kendo dimi jotichni mi wuon-gi chuny lit ma otho ka en gi kuyo to oseti. (Sheol h7585)
32 For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’
Jatichni nosingore ne wuon-gi ni nodwok wuowino kangima. Ne awacho ni, ‘Ne akwongʼora ni ka ok aduogo wuowini iri kangima to anabed jaketho e nyimi ndalo duto mag ngimana!’
33 Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, my lord’s slave; and let the boy go up with his brothers.
“Koro asayi, we jatichni odongʼ ka kaka misumba ruoth kar wuowini kendo iwe wuowini odogi gowetene.
34 For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?—lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”
Ere kaka dadog ir wuora ka wuowini ok ni koda? Ooyo! Kik iwe ane chandruok ma dimak wuora.”
