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.
And he commanded him who was over his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry; and put every man's money in the mouth of his sack.
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, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain-money. And he did according to the word of Joseph which he had spoken.
3 Kinyne kogwen, jogo nokawo pundegi kendo negiwuok.
In the morning, when it was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
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?
They were gone out of the city, [and] not [yet] far off, when Joseph said to him who was over his house, Up! follow after the men; and when thou overtakest them, thou shalt say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good?
5 Donge ma e okombe ma ruodha metho godo kendo otiyogo kuom koro wach? Gima utimoni en gima rach.”
Is not this [it] in which my lord drinks, and in which indeed he divines? Ye have done evil [in] what ye have done.
6 E kinde manochopo irgi, nonuoyonegi wechegi.
And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these words.
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 speak such words as these? Far be it from thy 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?
Behold, the money that we found in our sacks' mouths we have brought again to thee from the land of Canaan; and how should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
9 Ka diyude kuom jatichni moro amora, to obiro tho; kendo joma odongʼ biro bedo wasumb ruodha.”
With whomsoever of thy servants it is found, let him die; and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
10 Nowacho niya, “Mano ber, obed mana kaka uwachono. Ngʼato angʼata manoyud kode nobed misumbana, to joma odongʼ nobed thuolo.”
And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according to your words: let him with whom it is found be my bondman, but ye shall be blameless.
11 Ngʼato ka ngʼato noyieyo ogunde piny e ngʼe pundegi kendo ogonyo.
And they hasted and laid down every man his sack on the ground, and opened every man his sack.
12 Eka ne jarit ochako menyo kochako gi wuowi maduongʼ kendo otieko gi wuowi matin kendo kikombe noyudi ei ogund Benjamin.
And he searched carefully: he began at the eldest, and ended at the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
13 Kane gineno mano ne giyiecho lepgi, eka ne giyieyo pundegi kendo gidok dala Josef.
Then they rent their clothes, and loaded every man his ass, and they returned to the city.
14 Josef pod ne ni e ot kane Juda kod owetene odonjo, kendo negipodho auma e nyime.
And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; and he was still there; and they fell down before him to the ground.
15 Josef nowachonegi niya, “Ma en angʼo ma usetimoni? Donge ungʼeyo ni ngʼato kaka an nyalo fwenyo gimoro gi yor koro?”
And Joseph said to them, What deed is this which ye have done? Did ye not know that such a man as I can certainly divine?
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 shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak, and how justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found.
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.”
And he said, Far be it from me to do so! The man in whose hand the cup has been found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.
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 to him, and said, Ah! my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant; for thou art even as Pharaoh.
19 Ruodha nopenjo jotichne ni, ‘Bende un gi wuonu kata owadu?’
My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye 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 aged father, and a child born to him in his old age, [yet] young; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.
21 “To ne iwacho ni jotichni ni, ‘Keleuru ka mondo anene an awuon.’
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set mine eye on 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, The youth cannot leave his father: if he should leave his father, [his father] would die.
23 To ne iwachone jotichni ni, ‘Ka ok ubiro gi owadu matin, to ok unuchak une wangʼa kendo.’
And thou saidst to thy servants, Unless your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
24 Kane wadok ir wuonwa ma jatichni, ne wanyise gima ruodha osewacho.
And it came to pass when we came up to thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25 “Eka wuonwa nowacho ni, ‘Doguru mondo udhi ungʼiew chiemo moko kendo.’
And our father said, Go again, buy 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.’
But we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.
27 “Jatichni ma wuonwa nowachonwa ni, ‘Ungʼeyo ni chiega nonywolona yawuowi ariyo.
And thy servant my father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two [sons];
28 Achiel ne olal, kendo ne awacho niya, “Adier osekidhe matindo tindo.” Kendo pok achak anene.
and the one went out from me, and I said, He must certainly have been torn in pieces; and I have not seen him [again] hitherto.
29 Ka ukawo owadgi bende ma gimoro dhi ohinye, to di umi chunya chandruok ma atho ka an gi kuyo to aseti.’ (Sheol h7585)
And if ye take this one also from me, and mischief should befall him, ye will bring down my grey hairs with misery to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
30 “Koro ka wadok ir wuonwa ma misumbani ka wuowini mangimane omakore kode onge to obiro tho,
And now, when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us, — seeing that his life is bound up with his life,
it will come to pass when he sees that the lad is not [there], that he will die; and thy servants will bring down the grey hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. (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 thy servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, then I shall be guilty toward my father all my days.
33 “Koro asayi, we jatichni odongʼ ka kaka misumba ruoth kar wuowini kendo iwe wuowini odogi gowetene.
And now, let thy servant stay, I pray thee, instead of the lad a bondman to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brethren;
34 Ere kaka dadog ir wuora ka wuowini ok ni koda? Ooyo! Kik iwe ane chandruok ma dimak wuora.”
for how should I go up to my father if the lad were not with me? — lest I see the evil that would come on my father.
