Genesis 44
1 And he commanded him who was over his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry; and put every man's money in the mouth of his sack.
Inatasan ni Jose ang katiwala ng kanyang bahay, sinabing, “Punuin mo ang sako ng mga lalaki ng pagkain, hangga't sa makakaya nilang buhatin, at ilagay ang bawat pera ng lalaki sa ibabaw ng kanyang sako.
2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain-money. And he did according to the word of Joseph which he had spoken.
Ilagay ang aking baso, ang pilak na baso, sa ibabaw ng sako ng bunso, at ganoon din ang kanyang pera para sa butil.” Ginawa ng katiwala ang sinabi ni Jose.
3 In the morning, when it was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
Nang nagbubukang-liwayway na, at ang mga lalaki ay pinaalis na, sila at ang kanilang mga asno.
4 They were gone out of the city, [and] not [yet] far off, when Joseph said to him who was over his house, Up! follow after the men; and when thou overtakest them, thou shalt say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good?
Nang sila ay nakalabas sa lungsod subalit hindi pa nakakalayo, sinabi ni Jose sa kanyang katiwala, “Tumayo ka, sundan mo ang mga lalaki, at kung maabutan mo sila, sabihin mo sa kanila, 'Bakit ninyo sinuklian ng kasamaan ang kabutihan?
5 Is not this [it] in which my lord drinks, and in which indeed he divines? Ye have done evil [in] what ye have done.
Hindi ba ito ang baso mula sa iniinuman ng aking amo, at ang baso na ginagamit niya para sa kanyang panghuhula? Gumawa kayo ng masama, ang bagay na ito na inyong ginawa.”'
6 And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these words.
Naabutan sila ng katiwala at sinabi ang mga salitang ito sa kanila.
7 And they said to him, Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from thy servants to do such a thing!
Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Bakit po sinasabi ng aking amo ang ganitong mga salita? Malayong gawin ng inyong mga lingkod ang bagay na iyan.
8 Behold, the money that we found in our sacks' mouths we have brought again to thee from the land of Canaan; and how should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
Tingnan ninyo, ang pera na nakita sa aming mga sako, ay muli naming dinala sa inyo sa labas ng lupain ng Canaan. Paano naman namin nanakawin mula sa tahanan ng inyong amo ang pilak o ginto?
9 With whomsoever of thy servants it is found, let him die; and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
Kung sinuman sa inyong lingkod ang makitaan, hayaan mo siyang mamatay, at kami rin ay magiging mga alipin ng aming amo.”
10 And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according to your words: let him with whom it is found be my bondman, but ye shall be blameless.
Sinabi ng katiwala, “Ngayon rin hayaang magkaganoon ayon sa iyong mga salita. Siya na mahanapan ng baso ay magiging alipin ko, at ang iyong mga kapatid ay mapapawalangsala.”
11 And they hasted and laid down every man his sack on the ground, and opened every man his sack.
At nagmamadali ang bawat lalaki at dinala ang kanilang sako pababa sa lupa, at binuksan ng bawat lalaki ang kanilang mga sako.
12 And he searched carefully: he began at the eldest, and ended at the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Naghanap ang katiwala. Nagsimula siya sa pinaka-panganay at natapos sa bunso, at nahanap ang baso sa sako ni Benjamin.
13 Then they rent their clothes, and loaded every man his ass, and they returned to the city.
Pagkatapos pinunit nila ang kanilang mga damit. Nilagay ng bawat lalaki ang kanilang asno at bumalik sa lungsod.
14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; and he was still there; and they fell down before him to the ground.
Si Juda at ang kanyang mga kapatid ay pumunta sa tahanan ni Jose. Siya ay nanatili pa roon, at sila'y yumuko sa lupa sa harapan nito.
15 And Joseph said to them, What deed is this which ye have done? Did ye not know that such a man as I can certainly divine?
Sinabi ni Jose sa kanila, “Ano itong ginagawa ninyo? Hindi ba ninyo alam na ang lalaking tulad ko ay bihasa sa panghuhula?”
16 And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak, and how justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found.
Sinabi ni Juda, “Ano ang maari naming sabihin sa inyo aming amo? O kaya, paano namin maipagtatanggol ang aming sarili? Nalaman ng Diyos ang kasalanan ng iyong mga lingkod. Tingnan ninyo, kami ay alipin na ng aming amo, kami at siyang nahanapan ng baso.”
17 And he said, Far be it from me to do so! The man in whose hand the cup has been found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.
Sinabi ni Jose, “Malayong gawin ko iyan. Ang lalaking nahanapan ng baso sa kanyang kamay, ang lalaking iyon rin ang magiging alipin ko, subalit ang mga iba ay makakauwi na ng mapayapa sa inyong ama.”
18 Then Judah came near to him, and said, Ah! my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant; for thou art even as Pharaoh.
Pagkatapos lumapit si Juda sa kanya at sinabing, “Aking amo pakiusap, pahintulutan po ninyo akong makapagsalita sa pandinig ng aking amo, at huwag hayaang umapoy sa galit laban sa iyong alipin, sapagkat katulad ka ni Paraon.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
Ang aking amo ay nagtanong sa kanyang mga lingkod, sinasabing, 'Mayroon pa ba kayong ama o kapatid?
20 And we said to my lord, We have an aged father, and a child born to him in his old age, [yet] young; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.
At sinabi namin sa aming amo, 'Mayroon kaming matandang ama, at anak niya sa kanyang katandaan, isang bunso. At patay na ang kanyang kuya, at siya ay nag-iisa na lamang na naiwan mula sa kanyang ina, at mahal na mahal siya ng kanyang ama.'
21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set mine eye on him.
At sinabi mo sa iyong mga lingkod, 'Dalhin ninyo siya rito sa akin para makita ko siya.'
22 And we said to my lord, The youth cannot leave his father: if he should leave his father, [his father] would die.
At sinabi namin sa aming amo, 'Hindi kayang iwan ng bata ang kanyang ama. Sapagkat kung iiwan niya ang kaniyang ama ikamamatay ito ng kanyang ama.'
23 And thou saidst to thy servants, Unless your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
At sinabi mo sa iyong mga lingkod, 'Kung hindi ninyo kasama pababa ang bunso ninyong kapatid, hindi na ninyo muli makikita ang aking mukha.'
24 And it came to pass when we came up to thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
At nangyari nga nang kami ay nakabalik sa aking ama na iyong mga lingkod, isinalaysay namin sa kanya ang mga salita ng aming amo.
25 And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food.
At sinabi ng aming ama, 'Umalis kayo muli, bumili kayo ng ilang makakain.'
26 But we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.
At sinabi namin, 'Hindi na kami makabababa. Kung kasama namin ang aming nakababatang kapatid, kami ay makakaalis pababa, sapagkat hindi na kami hahayaan na makita pa muli ang mukha ng lalaki kung hindi namin kasama ang bunso naming kapatid.'
27 And thy servant my father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two [sons];
Sinabi ng aking ama na iyong lingkod, 'Alam ninyong dalawa lamang ang ipinanganak ng aking asawa.
28 and the one went out from me, and I said, He must certainly have been torn in pieces; and I have not seen him [again] hitherto.
At ang isa ay nawala mula sa akin at sinabi ko. “Talaga ngang siya ay nagkapira-piraso, at hindi ko na siya nakita mula noon.”
29 And if ye take this one also from me, and mischief should befall him, ye will bring down my grey hairs with misery to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
At kung kukunin rin ninyo itong isa sa akin at muling mapahamak, dadalhin ninyo ako sa katandaan na puno ng dalamhati sa kamatayan.' (Sheol h7585)
30 And now, when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us, — seeing that his life is bound up with his life,
Kaya ngayon, kung pupunta ako sa aking ama na inyong alipin, at hindi ko kasama ang bata, sapagkat ang kanyang buhay ay karugtong na ng buhay ng batang lalaki,
31 it will come to pass when he sees that the lad is not [there], that he will die; and thy servants will bring down the grey hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
kapag ito ay nangyari, na hindi niya makita na kasama namin ang bata siguradong ikamamatay niya ito. At ang iyong alipin ay magiging dahilan ng pagdurusa ng ama ng iyong alipin sa kamatayan. (Sheol h7585)
32 For thy servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, then I shall be guilty toward my father all my days.
Sapagkat ang iyong alipin ang katiyakan sa bata para sa aking ama at sinabi kong, 'Kung hindi ko madadala ang bata sa iyo, papasanin ko ang kasalanan magpakailanman sa aking ama.
33 And now, let thy servant stay, I pray thee, instead of the lad a bondman to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brethren;
Kaya ngayon, ako po ay nagmamakaawa hayaang manatili ang iyong lingkod sa halip na ang bata ang maging alipin ng aking amo, at hayaang makabalik ang bata kasama ng kanyang mga kapatid.
34 for how should I go up to my father if the lad were not with me? — lest I see the evil that would come on my father.
Sapagkat paano ako makakabalik sa aking ama kung hindi ko kasama ang bata? Natatakot akong makita ang masamang mangyayari sa aking ama.”
