Chakruok 44
1 Josef nomiyo jarit ode chik niya, “Ket cham mathoth e gunde jogo ma ginyalo tingʼo, kendo itwe pesa e dho ogund ngʼato ka ngʼato.
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 Bangʼe to iso kikombena mar mula ei ogund wuowi matin kaachiel gi pesa mar rundo.” Kendo jarit od Josef notimo kaka Josef nowachone.
And put my cup, my silver cup, in the youngest one's bag, with his money. So he did as Joseph said.
3 Kinyne kogwen, jogo nokawo pundegi kendo negiwuok.
And at dawn the men, with their asses, were sent away.
4 Kane pok gidhi mabor gi dala Josef nowacho ne jatichne niya, ring ilaw joka piyo, kendo ka imakogi, wachnegi niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo uchulo rach kar ber?
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 Donge ma e okombe ma ruodha metho godo kendo otiyogo kuom koro wach? Gima utimoni en gima rach.”
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 E kinde manochopo irgi, nonuoyonegi wechegi.
So he overtook them and said these words to them.
7 To negiwachone niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ruodha wacho gigo? Jotichgi bor gi tim ma kamano!
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 Donge ne waduogonu kata mana pesa mane wayudo e ogundewa kane waa e piny Kanaan. Koro ere gima dimi wakwal fedha kata dhahabu e od ruodhi?
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 Ka diyude kuom jatichni moro amora, to obiro tho; kendo joma odongʼ biro bedo wasumb ruodha.”
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 Nowacho niya, “Mano ber, obed mana kaka uwachono. Ngʼato angʼata manoyud kode nobed misumbana, to joma odongʼ nobed thuolo.”
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 Ngʼato ka ngʼato noyieyo ogunde piny e ngʼe pundegi kendo ogonyo.
Then every man quickly got his bag down and undid it.
12 Eka ne jarit ochako menyo kochako gi wuowi maduongʼ kendo otieko gi wuowi matin kendo kikombe noyudi ei ogund Benjamin.
And he made a search, starting with the oldest and ending with the youngest; and the cup was in Benjamin's bag.
13 Kane gineno mano ne giyiecho lepgi, eka ne giyieyo pundegi kendo gidok dala Josef.
Then in bitter grief they put the bags on the asses again and went back to the town.
14 Josef pod ne ni e ot kane Juda kod owetene odonjo, kendo negipodho auma e nyime.
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 Josef nowachonegi niya, “Ma en angʼo ma usetimoni? Donge ungʼeyo ni ngʼato kaka an nyalo fwenyo gimoro gi yor koro?”
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 Juda nodwoke niya, “Dwa wach angʼo ne ruodha? Dwa wach angʼo? Ere kaka wanyalo nyiso jatichwa? Nyasaye oseelo richo jatichni. Koro wan wasumbi ruodha; wan wawegi kod ngʼatno moseyud kikombeni kuome.”
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 To Josef nowacho niya, “Abor gi timo gima kamano! Mana ngʼatno mane oyudi gi kikombena ema biro bet misumbana. Ji modongʼ duto doguru ir wuonu gi kwe.”
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 Eka Juda nodhi ire kendo owachone niya, “Yaye ruodha, yie mondo jatichni owuo kodi. Kik ikech gi jatichni kata obedo ni tekoni mar loch romre gi mar Farao owuon.
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 Ruodha nopenjo jotichne ni, ‘Bende un gi wuonu kata owadu?’
My lord said to his servants, Have you a father or a brother?
20 Kendo ne wadwoke ni, ‘Wan kod wuonwa to oti, kendo nitie wuowi matin mane onywolo ka oti. Owadgi wuowino ne osetho kendo en e wuod min-gi kende modongʼ, kendo wuon-gi ohere.’
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 “To ne iwacho ni jotichni ni, ‘Keleuru ka mondo anene an awuon.’
And you said to your servants, Let him come down to me with you, so that I may see him.
22 Kendo ne wawachone ruodha ni, ‘Rawerano ok nyal weyo wuon-gi! Ka oweye to wuon-gi biro tho.’
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 To ne iwachone jotichni ni, ‘Ka ok ubiro gi owadu matin, to ok unuchak une wangʼa kendo.’
But you said to your servants, If your youngest brother does not come with you, you will not see my face again.
24 Kane wadok ir wuonwa ma jatichni, ne wanyise gima ruodha osewacho.
And when we went back to your servant, our father, we gave him an account of my lord's words.
25 “Eka wuonwa nowacho ni, ‘Doguru mondo udhi ungʼiew chiemo moko kendo.’
And our father said, Go again and get us a little food.
26 To ne wawachone ni, ‘Ok wanyal dhi. Wanyalo mana dhi ka owadwa matin dhi kodwa. Ok wanyal neno wangʼ ngʼatno makmana ka owadwa matin ni kodwa.’
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 “Jatichni ma wuonwa nowachonwa ni, ‘Ungʼeyo ni chiega nonywolona yawuowi ariyo.
And our father said to us, You have knowledge that my wife gave me two sons;
28 Achiel ne olal, kendo ne awacho niya, “Adier osekidhe matindo tindo.” Kendo pok achak anene.
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 Ka ukawo owadgi bende ma gimoro dhi ohinye, to di umi chunya chandruok ma atho ka an gi kuyo to aseti.’ (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 “Koro ka wadok ir wuonwa ma misumbani ka wuowini mangimane omakore kode onge to obiro tho,
If then I go back to your servant, my father, without the boy, because his life and the boy's life are one,
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 Jatichni nosingore ne wuon-gi ni nodwok wuowino kangima. Ne awacho ni, ‘Ne akwongʼora ni ka ok aduogo wuowini iri kangima to anabed jaketho e nyimi ndalo duto mag ngimana!’
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 “Koro asayi, we jatichni odongʼ ka kaka misumba ruoth kar wuowini kendo iwe wuowini odogi gowetene.
So now let me be my lord's servant here in place of the boy, and let him go back with his brothers.
34 Ere kaka dadog ir wuora ka wuowini ok ni koda? Ooyo! Kik iwe ane chandruok ma dimak wuora.”
For how may I go back to my father without the boy, and see the evil which will come on my father?
