Genesis 44
1 Then he instructed the manager of his house, saying, "Fill the men's sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each man's silver in the mouth of his sack.
Ary Josefa nanome teny ny mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony ka nanao hoe: Fenoy hanina ny lasakan’ ireo lehilahy ireo, araka izay zakany ho entina, ary ataovy eo am-bavan’ ny lasakany avy ny volan’ ny isan-dahy;
2 Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, along with the silver for his grain." So he did according to the word that Joseph had told him.
ary ny kapoakako, dia ilay kapoaka volafotsy, ataovy eo am-bavan’ ny lasakan’ ilay faralahy mbamin’ ny vola hamidiny vary. Dia nataony araka ny teny izay nolazain’ i Josefa.
3 As soon as the morning dawned, the men were sent off along with their donkeys.
Ary raha vao nazava ny andro, dia nampandehanina ireo lehilahy ireo, dia izy sy ny borikiny.
4 When they were far from the city, Joseph said to his manager, "Up, go after the men, and when you overtake them, ask them, 'Why have you repaid evil for good?
Ary rehefa tafavoaka ny tanàna izy ka tsy mbola lasan-davitra, dia hoy Josefa tamin’ ny mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony: Andeha araho ireny lehilahy ireny; ary rehefa tratrao izy, dia ataovy aminy hoe: Nahoana ianareo namaly ratsy ny soa?
5 Why have you stolen my silver cup? Isn't it from this that my lord drinks and by which he indeed uses for divination? You have done evil in doing this.'"
Tsy iny va no fisotroan’ ny tompoko sy famantarany zavatra? ratsy izao nataonareo izao.
6 And he caught up with them and spoke these words to them.
Dia nahatratra azy ralehilahy ka nilaza izany teny izany taminy.
7 But 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.
Ary hoy izy ireo taminy: Nahoana itompokolahy no dia miteny toy izany? Sanatria amin’ ny mpanomponao ny hanao zavatra toy izany.
8 Look, the money that we found in the mouths of our sacks we brought back to you from the land of Canaan. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord's house?
Indro fa ny vola izay hitanay teo am-bavan’ ny lasakanay aza naverinay indray tatỳ aminao avy tany amin’ ny tany Kanana; ka hataonay ahoana no fangalatra volafotsy na volamena ao amin’ ny tranon’ ny tomponao?
9 With whomever of your servants it is found, he must die, and we also will be my lord's slaves."
Izay anankiray amin’ ny mpanomponao hahitana izany, dia aoka hovonoina izy, ary izahay kosa dia ho andevon’ itompokolahy.
10 And he said, "Very well, then, it will be as you say. The one with whom it is found will be my slave, but you will be blameless."
Dia hoy izy: Aoka ary hatao araka ny teninareo: izay hahitana izany dia ho andevoko; fa ianareo tsy hanan-tsiny.
11 Then they hurried, and each man lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
Ary samy nampidina faingana ny lasakany tamin’ ny tany izy, ka samy nanokatra ny lasakany avy.
12 And he searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Dia nikaroka fatratra ralehilahy, ka tamin’ ny lahimatoa no nanombohany, ary tamin’ ny faralahy no niafarany, ka tao amin’ ny lasakan’ i Benjamina no nahitana ilay kapoaka.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey and returned to the city.
Ary samy nandriatra ny fitafiany izy, dia nanaingina ny entany tamin’ ny borikiny avy ka niverina ho any an-tanàna.
14 So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, and he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.
Ary Joda sy ny rahalahiny niditra tao an-tranon’ i Josefa (fa mbola tao izy), dia nidaboka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehany.
15 And Joseph said to them, "What is this deed that you have done? Didn't you know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"
Ary hoy Josefa taminy: Ahoana izao zavatra nataonareo izao? tsy fantatrareo va fa izay lehilahy tahaka ahy dia mahay mamantatra zavatra tokoa?
16 Then Judah said, "What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? And how can we clear ourselves? God has uncovered the guilt of your servants. Look, we are my lord's slaves, both we, and the one in whose possession the cup was found."
Ary hoy Joda: Inona no teny hataonay amin’ itompokolahy? inona intsony no holazainay? ary hataonay ahoana no fiala tsiny? Andriamanitra efa nahita ny heloky ny mpanomponao; koa, indreto, samy ho andevon’ itompokolahy, na izahay, na ilay nahitana ny kapoaka tao aminy.
17 But he said, "Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose possession the cup was found, he will be my slave. But as for you, go up to your father in peace."
Nefa hoy Josefa: Sanatria ahy ny hanao izany! izay lehilahy nahitana ny kapoaka tao aminy ihany no ho andevoko; fa ianareo kosa dia miakara soa aman-tsara ho any amin’ ny rainareo.
18 Then Judah approached him, and said, "My lord, please allow your servant to speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not become angry with your servant, for you are like Pharaoh himself.
Dia nanatona azy Joda ka nanao hoe: Mba henoy kely aho, tompokolahy, aoka ny mpanomponao handaha-teny kely eto anatrehan’ itompokolahy, ary aoka tsy mba hirehitra amin’ ny mpanomponao ny fahatezeranao; fa tahaka an’ i Farao ianao.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, 'Do you have a father or a brother?'
Itompokolahy nanontany ny mpanompony hoe: Manan-dray na rahalahy koa va ianareo?
20 And we said to my lord, 'We have a father, an old man, and a child born when he was old, a little one, and his brother is dead, and he is his mother's only child, and his father loves him.'
Ary hoy izahay tamin’ itompokolahy: Manan-dray lahy antitra izahay sy zandry faralahy, zanaky ny fahanterany; ary maty ny rahalahiny, fa izy irery ihany no zana-dreniny sisa, ary tian’ ny rainy izy.
21 Then you said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me, so that I can see him myself.'
Ary ianao nanao tamin’ ny mpanomponao hoe: Ento mankaty amiko izy mba ho hitan’ ny masoko.
22 And we said to my lord, 'The boy can't leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.'
Ary hoy izahay tamin’ itompokolahy: Ny zazalahy tsy mahazo misaraka amin-drainy; fa raha misaraka amin-drainy izy, dia ho faty rainy.
23 But you said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.'
Ary hoy ianao tamin’ ny mpanomponao: Raha tsy hiara-midìna aminareo ny zandrinareo faralahy, dia tsy hahita ny tavako intsony ianareo.
24 And it happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Ary rehefa tafakatra tany amin’ ny mpanomponao raiko izahay, dia nambaranay azy ny tenin’ itompokolahy.
25 But our father said, 'Go again, buy us a little food.'
Dia hoy ny rainay: Mandehana indray, mividia hanina kely ho antsika.
26 We said, 'We can't go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down, for we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.'
Ary hoy izahay: Tsy sahy hidina izahay; nefa raha hiaraka aminay ny zandrinay faralahy, dia hidina ihany izahay; fa tsy mahazo mahita ny tavan-dralehilahy izahay raha tsy miaraka aminay ny zandrinay faralahy.
27 Then your servant my father said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons.
Dia hoy ny mpanomponao raiko taminay: Fantatrareo fa ny vadiko efa niteraka roa lahy tamiko;
28 And the one disappeared from me, and I said, "Surely he is torn in pieces." And I haven't seen him since.
fa lasa niala tamiko ny anankiray, ka hoy izaho: Voaviraviram-biby tokoa izy; ary tsy mbola hitako mandraka ankehitriny izy;
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)
ary raha halainareo hiala eto anoloako koa ity, ka hisy loza hanjo azy koa, dia hampidininareo any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita amim-pahoriana ny volo fotsiko. (Sheol h7585)
30 So now, 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,
Koa ankehitriny, raha tonga any amin’ ny mpanomponao raiko aho, ka tsy tafaraka aminay ny zaza (fa ny ainy mifamatotra amin’ ny ain’ ny zaza),
31 it will happen, when he sees that the boy is not with us, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
koa raha hitany fa tsy eo ny zaza, dia ho faty izy; ary ny mpanomponao hampidina ny volo fotsin’ ny mpanomponao rainay ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita amin’ alahelo. (Sheol h7585)
32 For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, 'If I do not bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.'
Fa ny mpanomponao efa niantoka ny zaza tamin’ ny raiko ka nanao hoe: Raha tsy ho entiko atỳ aminao izy, dia ho meloka amin’ ny raiko amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainako aho.
33 So now, please let your servant remain instead of the boy, a slave to my lord, and let the boy go up with his brothers.
Koa ankehitriny, trarantitra ianao, aoka ny mpanomponao hitoetra ho andevon’ itompokolahy hisolo ny zaza; fa aoka ny zaza hiara-miakatra amin’ ny rahalahiny.
34 For how will I go up to my father if the boy isn't with me? I could not bear to see the misery that would come on my father."
Fa hataoko ahoana no fiakatra any amin’ ny raiko, raha tsy hiaraka amiko ny zaza? fandrao hahita izay loza hanjo ny raiko aho.
