Genesisy 44
1 Linili’e amy zao i mpamandro’ i anjomba’eiy ami’ty hoe, Atsefo mahakama o goni’ ondatio, ze leo’e logologoeñe, le songa apoho am-bava’ ty goni’e ao i drala’ indaty reiy;
Then he gave orders to the servant who was over his house, saying, Put as much food into the men's bags as will go into them, and put every man's money in the mouth of his bag;
2 le apoho amy goni’ i Beniamine ao i fitoviko volafotiy rekets’ ty drala’ i tsako’ey. Aa le nanoe’e i sinaontsi’ Iosefey.
And put my cup, my silver cup, in the youngest one's bag, with his money. So he did as Joseph said.
3 Ie nazava amy loak’ àndroy le nampionjonem-b’eo i lahilahy rey rekets’ o borìke’eo.
And at dawn the men, with their asses, were sent away.
4 Aa ie vaho nienga i rovay, mb’e tsy nañavelo lavitse, le hoe t’Iosefe amy mpamandro’ i anjomba’eiy, Miongaha, horidaño ondatio, le ie ifanampea’o, ano ty hoe, Akore ty namalea’ areo raty ty soa?
And when they had gone only a little way out of the town, Joseph said to the servant who was over his house, Go after them; and when you overtake them, say to them, Why have you done evil in reward for good?
5 Tsy atoy hao ty finoma’ i talèkoy, toe i fisikilia’ey? Ie nanao hakelohañe amy nanoe’areoy.
Is not this the cup from which my lord takes wine and by which he gets knowledge of the future? Truly, you have done evil.
6 Ie nitra’e iereo, le tinaro’e am’iereo i entañe zay.
So he overtook them and said these words to them.
7 Le vinale’ iareo ty hoe: Ino ty isaontsian-talèko o entañe zao? Tsy marine’ o mpitoro’oo ty manao i tsaraeñey.
And they said to him, Why does my lord say such words as these? far be it from your servants to do such a thing:
8 Heheke te nahere’ay ama’o boak’ an-tane Kanàne añe o drala nizoe’ay am-po’o goni’aio; inoñe arè ty hikizoa’ay volafoty ndra volamena añ’anjomba’ i talè’oy?
See, the money which was in the mouth of our bags we gave back to you when we came again from Canaan: how then might we take silver or gold from your lord's house?
9 Ie zoeñe ami’ty raik’ amo mpitoro’o retoy i raha zay le ie ty hikenkañe, vaho ho ondevo’ i talè’aiy ka zahay.
If it comes to light that any of your servants has done this, let him be put to death, and we will be your lord's servants.
10 Hoe re, Ie zay, amy fivola’ areoy, fe ze anjoàñe i rahay ro hondevoko vaho hidada nahareo.
And he said, Let it be as you say: he in whose bag it is seen will become my servant; and you will not be responsible.
11 Aa le nalisa iareo songa nanjotso ty goni’e an-tane, vaho sindre nanokake i goni’ey.
Then every man quickly got his bag down and undid it.
12 Kinodebe’e, nifototse aman-joke’e pak’an-tsitso’e; le nioniñe an-goni’ i Beniamine ao i fitoviy.
And he made a search, starting with the oldest and ending with the youngest; and the cup was in Benjamin's bag.
13 Songa nandria-tsaroñe amy zao, sambe nampijiny ty borìke’e indraike vaho nimpoly mb’an-drova mb’eo.
Then in bitter grief they put the bags on the asses again and went back to the town.
14 Pok’ añ’anjomba’ Iosefe t’Iehodà naho o rahalahi’eo ie mbe tao, le nibaboke an-tane añatrefa’e.
So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house; and he was still there: and they went down on their faces before him.
15 Hoe t’Iosefe am’iereo, Ino o nanoe’ areo zao? Amoea’ areo te toe mpisikily ondaty manahak’ ahikoo?
And Joseph said, What is this thing which you have done? had you no thought that such a man as I would have power to see what is secret?
16 Le hoe t’Iehodà, Ino ty ho volañe’ay aman-talè’ay? Ino ty ho talilie’ay? Akore ty hiveroha’ay? Fa naboan’ Añahare ty hamengoha’ o mpitoro’oo; intoy arè zahay ondevo’ ty talè’ay, Izahay mitraok’ amy nanjoàñe i fitoviy.
And Judah said, What are we to say to my lord? how may we put ourselves right in his eyes? God has made clear the sin of your servants: now we are in your hands, we and the man in whose bag your cup was seen.
17 Fa hoe re, Tsy marine’ ahy ty hanao zay. I nahaisahañe i fitoviy, ie ty hondevoko; f’inahareo ka, mañaveloa am-panintsiñañe mb’ aman-drae’areo añe.
Then he said, Far be it from me to do so: but the man who had my cup will be my servant; and you may go back to your father in peace.
18 Nitotok’ aze t’Iehodà nanao ty hoe, O talèko, angao hivolañe kede an-dravembian-talèko ao ty mpitoro’o, le ehe tsy hiforoforo ty haviñera’o amo mpitoro’oo kanao mira amy Parò rehe.
Then Judah came near him, and said, Let your servant say a word in my lord's ears, and let not your wrath be burning against your servant: for you are in the place of Pharaoh to us.
19 Nañontanea’ ty talè’ay o mpitoro’eo ty hoe, Aman-drae ndra rahalahy hao nahareo?
My lord said to his servants, Have you a father or a brother?
20 Le hoe zahay amy talè’aiy, Manan-drae zahay, androanavy bey, vaho ty rahalahy tora’ i haantera’ey. Nivetrake i rahalahi’ey, le ie ty honka’e amo anan-drene’eo vaho ikokoan-drae’e.
And we said to my lord, We have an old father and a young child, whom he had when he was old; his brother is dead and he is the only son of his mother, and is very dear to his father.
21 Le nanoe’o ty hoe o mpitoro’oo, Ampizotsò mb’etoan-dre ho trea’ o masokoo.
And you said to your servants, Let him come down to me with you, so that I may see him.
22 Le hoe zahay amy talèkoy, Tsy mete mienga an-drae’e i ajalahiy, tsy mone hihomake t’i rae’e.
And we said to my lord, His father will not let him go; for if he went away his father would come to his death.
23 Le nanoe’o ty hoe o mpitoro’oo, Naho tsy mindre mizotso ama’ areo mb’etoa i tsitson-drahalahi’ areoy le tsy ho oni’ areo ka ty tareheko.
But you said to your servants, If your youngest brother does not come with you, you will not see my face again.
24 Ie nimpoly aman-drae’ay mpitoro’oy añe vaho natalili’ay i saontsin-talèkoy,
And when we went back to your servant, our father, we gave him an account of my lord's words.
25 le nanao ty hoe ty rae’ay, Mibaliha, ikalò mahakama tsy ampeampe tika.
And our father said, Go again and get us a little food.
26 Aa hoe zahay, Tsy mete ty hizotsoa’ay; f’ie ama’ay i zai’aiy, le hizotso mb’eo. Fa tsy hahaoniñe ty lahara’ indatiy zahay naho tsy rekets’ama’ay i tsitso’aiy.
And we said, Only if our youngest brother goes with us will we go down; for we may not see the man's face again if our youngest brother is not with us.
27 Le hoe ty rae’ay mpitoro’o ama’ay, Fohi’ areo te nahatoly ana-dahy roe ho ahiko i valikoy;
And our father said to us, You have knowledge that my wife gave me two sons;
28 nieng’ ahy ty raike, le hoe raho, Toe nirimitem-biby, vaho tsy treako ka.
The one went away from me, and I said, Truly he has come to a violent death; and from that time I have not seen him,
29 Aa naho endese’ areo añe boak’ amako ka itoy, vaho manjo-voiñe le hampidrodrète’ areo an-kòntoke mb’an-tsikeokeok’ ao o volo-fotikoo. (Sheol h7585)
If now you take this one from me, and some evil comes to him, you will make my grey head go down in sorrow to the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
30 Aa naho himpoly mb’aman-draeko mpitoro’o mb’eo raho tsy reketse i tsitso’ey, kanao mifandrohy ami’ty havelo’ i ajalahiy ty arofo’e,
If then I go back to your servant, my father, without the boy, because his life and the boy's life are one,
31 ie mahaoniñe te tsy ama’ay i ajalahiy vaho hihomake; le hampidrodrète’ o mpitoro’oo mb’an-tsikeokeok’ ao o maròy fotin-drae’ay mpitoro’oo, (Sheol h7585)
When he sees that the boy is not with us, he will come to his death, and our father's grey head will go down in sorrow to the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
32 fa nitsoake i ajalahiy aman-drae’e o mpitoro’oo, ie nanoako ty hoe, Naho tsy hampoliko ama’o i ajalahiy—le zaho ty hivave i hakeo zay añatrefan-draeko kitro katroke.
For I made myself responsible for the boy to my father, saying, If I do not give him safely back to you, let mine be the sin for ever.
33 Ie amy zao, ehe meteo ho ondevo’ i talèko raho hisolo i ajalahiy; vaho angao hionjomb’eo mindre amo rahalahi’eo i ajalahiy.
So now let me be my lord's servant here in place of the boy, and let him go back with his brothers.
34 Fa aia ty himpoliako aman-draeko añe naho tsy mindre amako i ajalahiy? Irevendreveñako ty hahatrea o haloviloviañe hifetsak’ aman-draekoo.
For how may I go back to my father without the boy, and see the evil which will come on my father?
