Genesis 44
1 Then commanded he him who was over his house saying—Fill the sacks of the men, with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s silver in the mouth of his sack;
Apre sa, Jozèf bay chèf domestik la lòd sa a: -Plen sak mesye yo manje mezi yo ka pote. Mete lajan chak moun nan bouch sak yo.
2 and my cup—the cup of silver, shalt thou put in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, with his corn-silver. So he did, according to the word of Joseph, which he had spoken.
W'a pran gwo gode m' lan, gode an ajan an, w'a mete l' nan bouch sak pi piti a ansanm ak tout lajan l' lan. Chèf domestik la fè sa Jozèf te di l' fè a.
3 By the time, the morning, was light, the men, had been sent away, they, and their asses.
Nan denmen maten, byen bonè, yo voye mesye yo al fè wout yo ak tout bourik yo.
4 They themselves, had gone out of the city—they had not gone far, when Joseph said to him who was over his house, Rise chase after the men, —so shalt thou overtake them and shalt say unto them, Wherefore have ye requited evil for good?
Yo te fin kite lavil la dèyè, men yo pa t' pi lwen pase sa, lè Jozèf di domestik li a: -Leve, kouri dèyè mesye yo. Lè w'a trape yo, w'a di yo: Poukisa nou aji mal konsa ak moun ki fè nou byen?
5 Is not this that in which my lord drinketh, and whereby, he himself, doth divine? Ye have done evil in what ye have done.
Poukisa nou pran gwo gode mèt mwen an? Se ladan l' li bwè, se ak li li sèvi pou l' konnen sa ki pral pase. Sa nou fè a pa bon menm.
6 So he overtook them, —and spake unto them these words.
Lè domestik la trape yo, li repete tout sa mèt li a te di l'.
7 And they said unto him, Wherefore should my lord speak such words as these? Far be thy servants, from doing such a thing as this!
Men yo reponn: -Men msye, nou pa konprann sa w'ap di la a. pou n' ta fè bagay konsa? Mande Bondye padon!
8 Lo! the silver that we found in the mouth of our sacks, we brought back unto thee out of the land of Canaan, —how then could we steal out of the house of thy lord, silver or gold?
Gade, lajan nou te jwenn premye fwa a nan bouch sak nou yo, nou pote l' tounen ba ou soti peyi Kanaran. Ki jan ou vle wè pou nou ta vòlò ajan osinon lò kay mèt la?
9 With whomsoever of thy servants it can be found, he shall die, —and, we also, will become my lord’s servants.
Si ou jwenn gwo gode a nan men yonn nan nou, se pou moun sa a mouri. Nou menm lòt yo, se pou yo fè nou tounen esklav.
10 And he said, Yea, now, according to your words, so, let it be, —he with whom it is found, shall be my servant, Ye, however, shall be clear.
Domestik la di: -Dakò. Men, si yo jwenn gode a nan men yonn nan nou, se moun sa a m'ap pran pou sèvi m' esklav. Lòt yo lib, yo mèt ale.
11 So they hastened and took down each man his sack to the ground, —and opened each man his sack.
La menm, yo prese mete sak yo atè, chak moun louvri sak yo.
12 Then made he thorough search, with the eldest, he began, and with the youngest, he ended, —and the cup was found in the sack of Benjamin!
Chèf domestik Jozèf la pran fouye sak yo yonn apre lòt. Li konmanse ak sak pi gran an pou l' fini ak sak pi piti a. Yo jwenn gode a nan sak Benjamen an.
13 And they rent their mantles, —and laded each man his ass, and returned to the city.
Sa ou tande a, yon sèl lapenn pran mesye yo, yo chire rad sou yo. Chak moun chaje bourik yo ankò, yo tounen lavil.
14 And Judah and his brethren came into the house of Joseph, he, yet being there, —and fell down before him to the earth.
Lè Jida ak frè l' yo rive lakay Jozèf, Jozèf te la toujou. Yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan li.
15 And Joseph said to them, What is this deed which ye have done? Know ye not that such a man as I, can even divine?
Jozèf di yo: -Kisa nou fè konsa? Eske nou pa konnen yon nonm tankou mwen gen pouvwa pou m' wè tout sa ki pral rive?
16 Then said Judah—What shall we say to my lord, how shall we speak and how shall we justify ourselves, —when, God himself, hath found out the iniquity of thy servants? Behold us! my lord’s servants, both we, and he in whose hand the cup hath been found.
Jida reponn li: -Mèt, nou pa konn sa pou nou di. Nou pa ka pale. Pa gen savon pou lave nou devan ou. Se Bondye menm ki fè ou dekouvri nou. Mèt, se poutèt sa se pa sèlman moun ki te gen gode a nan men l' lan ki esklav ou, se nou tout ki esklav ou.
17 And he said, Far be it from me to do this thing! The man in whose hand the cup hath been found, he, shall be my servant, but as for you, go ye up in peace unto your father.
Men Jozèf di: -Mande Bondye padon! Mwen pa ka fè sa. Moun ki te gen gode a, se li menm sèlman k'ap rete pou sèvi m' esklav. Lòt yo mèt tounen lakay papa yo ak kè poze jan yo te vini an.
18 Then Judah drew near unto him, and said—Pardon my lord! Pray let thy servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not let thine anger be kindled against thy servant, —for, thus, art, thou as Pharaoh!
Lè sa a, Jida pwoche bò kote Jozèf, li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, mèt. Kite m' di ou yon ti pawòl. Ou pa bezwen fache sou mwen. Mwen konnen ki di ou menm di farawon an.
19 It was, my lord, who asked his servants, saying, —Have ye a father, or a brother?
Mèt, ou te mande nou èske papa nou la, èske nou gen lòt frè.
20 So we said unto my lord, We have an aged father, and the child of his old age a youth, —his brother, being dead, he alone, is left of his mother and, his father, loveth him.
Nou te reponn ou: Wi, nou gen yon papa ki fin vye granmoun ak yon ti frè, pitit papa nou te fè nan vyeyès li. Ti bway la te gen yon lòt frè menm manman avè l'. Men, li mouri. Nan de pitit manman l' yo, se li menm ase ki rete. Lèfini papa nou renmen l' anpil.
21 So then thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, —that I may set mine eyes upon him.
Ou te mande nou pou nou mennen l' isit la pou ou te ka wè l'.
22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father, —as surely as he leaveth his father, so surely will he, die.
Nou te reponn ou, mèt, ti bway la pa t' ka kite papa l'. Si li kite l', chagren va touye papa a.
23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother do come down with you, ye shall not again behold my face.
Men, ou te kenbe pawòl ou pi rèd, ou te di nou si ti frè nou an pa vini ak nou, nou pa bezwen parèt devan ou.
24 So it came to pass when we had gone up unto thy servant, my father, that we told him the words of my lord.
Lè nou tounen kay papa nou, nou rakonte l' tout sa ou te di nou.
25 Then said our father, —Go again buy us a little food,
Apre sa, papa di nou: Tounen al achte manje pou mwen.
26 And we said, We cannot go down, —If our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down, for we cannot see the face of the man if, our youngest brother, is not with us.
Nou di l': Non, papa. Nou pa ka desann paske si ti frè nou an pa ale ak nou, nou p'ap ka parèt devan chèf la. Men, si ou dakò pou ti frè nou an ale ak nou, n'a desann.
27 Then said thy servant my father, unto us, —Ye yourselves, know, that, two, did my wife bear to me,
Lè sa a, papa nou di: Nou konnen madanm mwen te fè de sèl pitit gason pou mwen.
28 and the one went forth from me, and I said—Certainly he hath been, torn in pieces, —And I have never seen him since.
Gen yonn ki pati kite m'. Mwen kwè se bèt nan bwa ki dwe devore l', paske mwen pa janm wè l' jouk koulye a.
29 As surely as ye take, this one also, away from before my face and there befall him any mischief, so surely shall ye bring down my grey hairs, with misfortune to hades. (Sheol h7585)
Jòdi a, si nou pran sa a nan men m', si yon malè rive l', avèk tout laj sa ki sou tèt mwen an, mwen p'ap ka sipòte lapenn sa a, chagren va touye m'. (Sheol h7585)
30 Now, therefore, as surely as I go in unto thy servant my father, and, the lad, is not with us, —seeing that his soul is bound up with the lad’s soul,
Koulye a atò, mèt, si mwen tounen al jwenn papa m' san pitit gason l' sa a, ki de je nan tèt li,
31 so surely shall it come to pass that when he seeth that the lad is not with us, then will he die. So shall thy servants bring down the grey hairs of thy servant our father, with sorrow to hades. (Sheol h7585)
kou la gade li wè pitit li a pa la, l'ap mouri. Se nou menm ki va lakòz lapenn sa a k'ap twòp pou granmoun lan. Papa nou va mouri sou kont nou. (Sheol h7585)
32 For thy servant, became surety for the lad, while away from my father saying, —If I bring him not unto thee, then will I count myself a sinner against my father all the days.
Wi, se mwen menm ki te bay papa m' garanti m'ap tounen ak pitit la. Mwen te di l': Si m' pa mennen l' tounen ba li, se mwen menm k'ap pote fòt la devan l' jouk jou mwen mouri.
33 Now, therefore, I pray thee let thy servant remain instead of the lad, as servant to my lord, —but as for the lad, let him go up with his brethren.
Se poutèt sa, mèt, tanpri, kite ti bway la ale avèk frè l' yo, kite m' pran plas li. Gade m' pou esklav ou.
34 For how can I go up unto my father, should the lad, not be with me? lest I look on the calamity, that shall find out my father,
Mwen pa konnen ki pye pou m' ta mete devan pou m' tounen kay papa m' san ti gason an pa avèk nou. Mwen pa ta vle wè lapenn sa a tonbe sou papa m'.
