1 Yousefe da ea hawa: hamosu hina dunuma amane sia: i, “Di da amo dunu ilia esa, ilia gasa gaguli masunu defele, nabama. Amola, dunu hisu hisu ilia muni i, amo bu ilia esa ganodini salima.
Joseph ordered his household supervisor, “Fill the men's sacks with as much grain as they can hold and put each man's money at the top of his sack.
2 Na silifa faigelei amo ufi mano amo ea esa ganodini ea muni amola salima.” Hawa: hamosu dunu da Yousefe ea sia: defele hamoi.
Then put my special silver cup at the top of the sack of the youngest, along with the money for his grain.” He did as Joseph told him.
3 Hahabedafa, ilia da amo olalali amola ilia dougi, ilia soge buhagimusa: asunasi.
At sunrise they were sent on their way with their donkeys.
4 Ilia da fonobahadi logoga asili, Yousefe da ea diasu hawa: hamosu hina dunuma amane sia: i, “Hedolo! Ilima fa: no bobogema! Ilima doaga: sea, amane adole ba: ma, “Dilia da abuli hou ida: iwane amoga dabe agoane wadela: i hou hamosala: ?
They had hardly left the city when Joseph told his household supervisor, “Go after those men, and when you catch up with them, ask them, ‘Why have you paid back good with evil by stealing my master's silver cup?
5 Dilia da abuli na hina ea silifa faigelei amo wamolabala? E da amoga waini naha amola amoga ba: la: lusu hou hamosa. Dilia da wadela: i bagade hamoi dagoi.”
This is the cup he personally drinks from, and which he uses for divination. What you've done is really evil!’”
6 Yousefe ea hawa: hamosu dunu da yolalali ilima fa: no bobogele, madelala heda: i. E da Yousefe ea sia: ilima bu sia: i.
When he caught up with them, he told them what Joseph had said.
7 Ilia da ema bu adole i, “Ada! Adi baiga di da ninima agoane sia: sala: ? Ninia agoane hou da hamedafa hamosa.
“My lord, what are you saying?” they replied. “We your servants wouldn't do anything like that!
8 Di dawa: Muni amo ninia esa ganodini dialebe ba: i, amo ninia Ga: ina: ne sogega bu gaguli misi. Ninia da dia hina diasuga silifa amola gouli, abuli wamolama: bela: ?
Remember that we brought back the money we found at the top of our sacks when we returned from Canaan. Why would we steal silver or gold from your master's house?
9 Ada! Ninia dunu afae da amo faigelei wamolai ba: sea, amo medole legema. Amai ba: sea, ninia eno huluane da dia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalumu.”
If any one of us is found with it, he shall die, and all of us will become your slaves.”
10 E bu adole i, “Defea! Be faigelei wamolasu dunu, hi fawane da udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalumu. Dilia eno huluane da ahoanumu.”
“Whatever you say,” the man replied, “but only the one found with it will become my slave since the rest of you will be free of any blame.”
11 Amaiba: le, ilia da esa huluane osoboga ligisili, ilia huluane da esa hisu hisu doalegele, esa lafi ifalesisi.
They all unloaded their sacks and put them on the ground. They each opened their own sacks.
12 Yousefe hawa: hamosu dunu da esa huluane hogoi helei. E da degabo magobo mano ea esa hogole, asili huluane hogole, ufi mano Bediamini ema doaga: i. Ilia da Bediamini ea esa ganodini silifa faigelei dialebe ba: i.
The household supervisor searched the sacks, beginning with the oldest and working his way down to the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
13 Olalali da se nababeba: le, ilia abula gadelale, ilia liligi amo dougi baligiga ligisili, Yousefe ea diasuga buhagi.
The brothers tore their clothes in grief. Then they loaded their sacks back on their donkeys and headed back to the city.
14 Amoga doaga: loba, Yousefe esalebe ba: i. Ilia da ema begudui.
Joseph was still at home when Judah and his brothers arrived, and they fell to the ground before him.
15 Yousefe da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da adi hamobela: ? Na da ba: la: lusu hou hamobeba: le, amo hou hedolo dawa: i. Amo dilia hame dawa: bela: ?”
“Why did you do this?” Joseph asked. “Don't you know a man like me can find out things through divination?”
16 Yuda da bu adole i, “Ada! Ninia da adi sia: ma: bela: ? Ninia hou dodofemu da hamedei. Gode da ninia wadela: i hou dedeboi amo hadigiga gaguli misi. Afae amo faigelei ea esa ganodini ba: i amo fawane hame, be ninia huluane da dia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalumu.”
“My lord, what can we say?” Judah replied. “How can we explain this to you? In what way can we prove our innocence? God has exposed the guilt of your servants. My lord, we are your slaves—all of us, including the one who was found with the cup.”
17 Be Yousefe da amane sia: i, “Hame mabu! Na da agoane hamedafa hamomu. Faigelei gagui hi fawane da na udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalumu. Dilia eno huluane da hahawane dilia eda ea diasuga bu masunu.”
“I wouldn't do anything like that!” Joseph replied. “Only the man who was found with the cup will become my slave. The rest of you are free to return to your father.”
18 Yuda da Yousefema misini, amane sia: i, “Ada! Na da dima sia: sa: imu galebe! Nama mae ougima! Na da di Idibidi hina bagade amo defele ba: sa.
Judah came closer and said to him, “If you please, my lord, let your servant just say a word. Please don't become angry with your servant, even though you are as powerful as Pharaoh himself.
19 Di da ninima adole ba: i, ‘Dilia da ada o olalali eno esalabala?’
My lord, previously you asked us, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’
20 Ninia da bu adole i, ‘Ninia da ada da: i hamoi esala amola eya amo da ada ea da: i hamoi esoga lalelegei, e amola da esala. Amo goi ea ola da bogoi amola wali hi fawane da ea ame ea mano afadafa esala. Ea ada da ema bagade asigisa.’
We told you, my lord, ‘We have an elderly father, and a younger brother, born when our father was already old. The boy's brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother's children left, and his father loves him dearly.’
21 Ada! Di da amo goi nini guiguda: di ba: ma: ne, oule misa: ne sia: i.
Then you ordered us, ‘Bring him here to me so I can see him.’
22 Amola ninia da amo goi da ea ada yolesimu da hamedei sia: i. Amai ganiaba, ea ada da bogola: loba.
We told you, ‘The boy can't leave his father; if he did, his father would die.’
23 Amalalu di da amane sia: i, ‘Dilia eyadafa da dilia amola sigi hame masea, dilia da na odagi hame ba: mu.’
But you told us, ‘If your youngest brother doesn't come with you, you won't see me again.’
24 Nini da ninia adama bu asili, dia sia: ema adoi.
So when we went back to your servant, our father, we explained to him everything you had told us.
25 Amanoba, e da ninima ha: i manu fonobahadi bidi lamusa: bu masa: ne sia: i.
However, later on, our father told us, ‘Go back and buy some more food.’
26 Ninia da ema bu adole i, ‘Ninia bu masunu da hamedei. Ninia eyadafa amo hame oule ahoasea, amo dunu ea odagi hame ba: mu. Ninia eya sigi ahoasea fawane masunu gala.’
But we said, ‘There's no way we can go back unless Benjamin our youngest brother goes with us, because we won't be able to see the man if Benjamin isn't with us.’
27 Ninia ada ninima amane sia: i, ‘Dilia dawa: Na uda La: isele da nama dunu mano aduna fawane lai.
Then my father said to us, ‘You realize that my wife had two sons for me.
28 Afadafa da fisi dagoi. E da gasonasu ohe fi amoga medole legebela: ? E da asi amola amo na da bu hame ba: i.
One is no more, ripped to pieces no doubt, for I've never seen him since.
29 Na da ufi mano afae fawane esala. Be amo dilia oule ahoasea, e da se nabasea, na da: i hamoiba: le, se bagade dili nama i amo nababeba: le, bogomu.’ (Sheol h7585)
If you take this one away from me too, and something bad happens to him, you'll send this old man to his grave in grief.’ (Sheol h7585)
30 Amaiba: le, ada! Na amo goi fisili adama bu asili, e da goi hame oule misi amo ba: sea, bogomu. Ea esalusu amola amo goi ea esalusu da gilisili lala: gi agoane diala. E da: idafa hamoiba: le, ninia da amo se nabasu ema iasea, e da bogomu. (Sheol h7585)
So if the boy isn't with us when I go back to my father, whose life depends on the life of the boy,
as soon as he sees the boy isn't there he'll die, and we will really send this old man, our father, to his grave in grief. (Sheol h7585)
32 Na amola da na esalusu fisima: ne, dafawanedafa amo goi bu oule misa: ne sia: i. Na amo goi hame oule masea, eso huluane ni fawane da wadela: le hamoi, amo e da sia: mu da defea, ema adoi dagoi.
In fact I gave myself as the guarantee for the boy to my father. I told him, ‘If I don't bring him back to you, then I will always carry the blame!’
33 Wali ada! Na da amo goi ea sogebi lale, ni fawane da dia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalumu. E amola ea olalali, ilia buhagimu da defea.
So please let me stay here as my lord's slave instead of the boy. Let him go back home with his brothers.
34 Na amola amo goi ani mae asili, nisu na adama masunu da hamedei. Na ada da amo se nabimu, na da hamedafa ba: mu!” Yuda e amane sia: i.
For how could I ever go back to my father if the boy wasn't with me? I couldn't stand seeing the anguish that would cause my father.”
