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 the superintendent of his house, saying, Fill the sacks of these men 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 my cup, the silver cup, thou shalt put in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and the money for his corn. And he did according to the word of Joseph which he had spoken.
3 Kinyne kogwen, jogo nokawo pundegi kendo negiwuok.
As soon as the morning 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, not yet far off, when Joseph said unto the superintendent of his house, Up, follow after the men; and when thou hast overtaken them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye returned 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 out of which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
6 E kinde manochopo irgi, nonuoyonegi wechegi.
And he overtook them, and he spoke unto them these same words.
7 To negiwachone niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ruodha wacho gigo? Jotichgi bor gi tim ma kamano!
And they said unto him, Wherefore will my lord speak such words as these? God forbid that thy servants should do any thing like this.
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, which we found in the mouth of our sacks, we brought back unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then 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 be found, let him die; and we also will be bondmen unto thy lord.
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: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; but ye shall be blameless.
11 Ngʼato ka ngʼato noyieyo ogunde piny e ngʼe pundegi kendo ogonyo.
And they made haste, and every one of them took down his sack to the ground, and every one opened 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, at the eldest he began, and at the youngest he left off; 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 every one loaded 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 brothers came into Joseph's house, and he was yet there; and they fell down before him on 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 unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? knew ye not 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 unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we justify ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold we are servants unto my lord, both we, as also he in whose hand the cup was 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, God forbid that I should do this: the man in whose hand the cup was found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, go you up in peace unto 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 unto him, and said, Pardon, my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thy 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 unto my lord, We have an old father, and a little child born in his old age; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
21 “To ne iwacho ni jotichni ni, ‘Keleuru ka mondo anene an awuon.’
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set my eye upon him.
22 Kendo ne wawachone ruodha ni, ‘Rawerano ok nyal weyo wuon-gi! Ka oweye to wuon-gi biro tho.’
And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father; for if he should leave his father, he would die.
23 To ne iwachone jotichni ni, ‘Ka ok ubiro gi owadu matin, to ok unuchak une wangʼa kendo.’
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall not see my face any more.
24 Kane wadok ir wuonwa ma jatichni, ne wanyise gima ruodha osewacho.
And it came to pass, when we came up unto thy servant my father, that 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 back and 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.’
And 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, except our youngest brother be with us.
27 “Jatichni ma wuonwa nowachonwa ni, ‘Ungʼeyo ni chiega nonywolona yawuowi ariyo.
And thy servant my father said unto 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, Surely he hath been torn to pieces; and I have not seen him up to this time.
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 befall him, ye will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (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 be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;
It will come to pass, that when he seeth that the lad is not with us, he will die: and thy servants would thus bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. (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 unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I have sinned against my father all the days.
33 “Koro asayi, we jatichni odongʼ ka kaka misumba ruoth kar wuowini kendo iwe wuowini odogi gowetene.
Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad as bond-man to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brothers.
34 Ere kaka dadog ir wuora ka wuowini ok ni koda? Ooyo! Kik iwe ane chandruok ma dimak wuora.”
For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? I should perhaps be compelled to witness the evil which would come on my father.
