Genesis 44
1 And Joseph charged the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put the money of each in the mouth of his sack.
Sementara itu Yusuf memerintahkan kepada kepala rumah tangganya, "Isilah karung orang-orang itu dengan gandum, sebanyak yang dapat mereka bawa, dan masukkan uang masing-masing ke dalam karungnya, di atas gandum itu.
2 And put my silver cup into the sack of the youngest, and the price of his corn. And it was done according to the word of Joseph, as he said.
Masukkan juga piala perakku ke dalam karung adik mereka yang bungsu, bersama-sama dengan uang pembayaran gandumnya." Pelayan itu melaksanakan perintah itu.
3 The morning dawned, and the men were sent away, they and their asses.
Keesokan harinya, pagi-pagi sekali, Yusuf berpisah dengan saudara-saudaranya, lalu mereka berangkat dengan keledai mereka.
4 And when they had gone out of the city, [and] were not far off, then Joseph said to his steward, Arise, and pursue after the men; and thou shalt overtake them, and say to them, Why have ye returned evil for good?
Mereka belum jauh dari kota itu, waktu Yusuf berkata kepada kepala rumah tangganya, "Cepatlah kejar orang-orang itu. Jika sudah tersusul, katakan kepada mereka, 'Mengapa kamu membalas kebaikan dengan kejahatan?
5 Why have ye stolen my silver cup? is it not this out of which my lord drinks? and he divines augury with it; ye have accomplished evil in that which ye have done.
Mengapa kamu mencuri piala perak tuanku? Piala itu dipakainya untuk minum dan sebagai alat menujum. Kamu telah melakukan kejahatan besar!'"
6 And he found them, and spoke to them according to these words.
Ketika pelayan itu sampai kepada saudara-saudara Yusuf, dikatakannya apa yang diperintahkan Yusuf.
7 And they said to him, Why does our lord speak according to these words? far be it from thy servants to do according to this word.
Jawab mereka kepadanya, "Apa maksud Tuan? Kami bersumpah bahwa kami tidak berbuat begitu!
8 If we brought back to thee out of the land of Chanaan the money which we found in our sacks, how should we steal silver or gold out of the house of thy lord?
Tuan sendiri tahu bahwa uang yang kami temukan di dalam karung-karung kami di atas gandum itu, telah kami kembalikan kepada Tuan. Jadi, tak mungkin kami mencuri perak atau emas dari rumah gubernur!
9 With whomsoever of thy servants thou shalt find the cup, let him die; and, moreover, we will be servants to our lord.
Tuan, andaikata benda itu kedapatan pada salah seorang dari kami, biarlah dia dihukum mati, dan kami menjadi hamba Tuan."
10 And he said, Now then it shall be as ye say; with whomsoever the cup shall be found, he shall be my servant, and ye shall be clear.
Pelayan itu berkata, "Baiklah; tetapi hanya dia pada siapa piala itu kedapatan, dialah yang akan menjadi hambaku; yang lain boleh pergi."
11 And they hasted, and took down every man his sack on the ground, and they opened every man his sack.
Lalu dengan cepat mereka masing-masing menurunkan dan membuka karungnya.
12 And he searched, beginning from the eldest, until he came to the youngest; and he found the cup in Benjamin's sack.
Pelayan Yusuf itu memeriksa karung-karung itu dengan teliti, mulai dari karung kepunyaan yang sulung sampai kepada karung kepunyaan yang bungsu, dan piala itu ditemukan di dalam karung Benyamin.
13 And they rent their garments, and laid each man his sack on his ass, and returned to the city.
Abang-abangnya sangat sedih sehingga mengoyak-ngoyakkan pakaian mereka. Mereka membebani keledai mereka dan kembali ke kota.
14 And Judas and his brethren came in to Joseph, while he was yet there, and fell on the ground before him.
Ketika Yehuda dan saudara-saudaranya sampai di rumah Yusuf, ia masih ada di situ, dan mereka sujud di hadapannya.
15 And Joseph said to them, What is this thing that ye have done? know ye not that a man such as I can surely divine?
Maka berkatalah Yusuf, "Apa yang kamu lakukan itu? Tak tahukah kamu bahwa orang yang seperti aku ini dapat mengetahui perbuatanmu yang jahat dengan ilmu gaib?"
16 And Judas said, What shall we answer to our lord, or what shall we say, or wherein should we be justified? whereas God has discovered the unrighteousness of thy servants; behold, we are slaves to our lord, both we and he with whom the cup has been found.
"Apa yang dapat kami katakan, Tuanku?" jawab Yehuda. "Bagaimana kami dapat membantah dan membenarkan diri kami? Allah telah menyingkapkan kesalahan kami. Sekarang kami semua hamba Tuan, bukan hanya dia pada siapa kedapatan piala itu."
17 And Joseph said, Far be it from me to do this thing; the man with whom the cup has been found, he shall be my servant; but do ye go up with safety to your father.
Kata Yusuf, "Tidak! Aku tidak mau berbuat begitu! Hanya dia pada siapa kedapatan piala itu akan menjadi hambaku. Yang lain boleh pulang dengan bebas kepada ayahmu."
18 And Judas drew near him, and said, I pray, Sir, let thy servant speak a word before thee, and be not angry with thy servant, for thou art next to Pharao.
Yehuda maju mendekati Yusuf dan berkata, "Maaf, Tuanku, izinkanlah hamba berbicara lagi dengan Tuanku. Jangan marah kepada hamba; Tuanku seperti raja Mesir sendiri.
19 Sir, thou askedst thy servants, saying, Have ye a father or a brother?
Tuanku telah bertanya kepada kami ini, 'Apakah kamu masih mempunyai ayah atau saudara yang lain?'
20 And we said to [my] lord, We have a father, an old man, and he has a son of his old age, a young one, and his brother is dead, and he alone has been left behind to his mother, and his father loves him.
Kami menjawab, 'Ayah kami sudah tua dan adik kami lahir ketika ayah sudah lanjut usia. Abang seibu dari adik kami itu sudah meninggal, jadi sekarang hanya dia sendirilah yang masih hidup dari mereka berdua, dan ayah sangat sayang kepadanya.'
21 And thou saidst to they servants, Bring him down to me, and I will take care of him.
Tuanku menyuruh kami membawa dia kemari, supaya Tuanku dapat melihatnya,
22 And we said to [my] lord, The child will not be able to leave his father; but if he should leave his father, he will die.
lalu kami menjawab bahwa anak itu tidak dapat berpisah dari ayahnya; jika ia berpisah dari ayahnya, ayah akan meninggal.
23 But thou saidst to they servants, Except your younger brother come down with you, ye shall not see my face again.
Kemudian Tuanku berkata, 'Kamu tidak boleh menghadap aku lagi jika tidak membawa adikmu itu.'
24 And it came to pass, when we went up to thy servant our father, we reported to him the words of our lord.
Ketika kami kembali kepada ayah kami, kami sampaikan kepadanya perkataan Tuanku itu.
25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
Kemudian ayah kami menyuruh kami datang lagi kemari untuk membeli makanan.
26 And we said, We shall not be able to go down; but if our younger brother go down with us, we will go down; for we shall not be able to see the man's face, our younger brother not being with us.
Kami menjawab, 'Kami tidak dapat pergi ke sana, sebab kami tak boleh menghadap gubernur jika adik kami yang bungsu tidak ikut. Kami hanya dapat pergi ke sana kalau dia pergi juga.'
27 And thy servant our father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two [sons];
Kemudian ayah kami berkata, 'Kalian tahu bahwa Rahel, istriku hanya punya dua anak.
28 and one is departed from me; and ye said that he was devoured of wild beasts, and I have not seen him until now.
Yang pertama telah meninggalkan aku. Dia pasti sudah diterkam binatang buas, karena sampai sekarang aku tidak melihatnya lagi.
29 If then ye take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall ye bring down my old age with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Jika kalian mengambil anak yang bungsu ini daripadaku, dan terjadi apa-apa dengan dia, kesedihan yang kalian datangkan kepadaku itu akan mengakibatkan kematianku, karena aku ini sudah tua.'" (Sheol h7585)
30 Now then, if I should go in to they servant, and our father, and the boy should not be with us, (and his life depends on this [lad's] life)
"Karena itu, Tuanku," kata Yehuda kepada Yusuf, "jika hamba kembali kepada ayah kami tanpa adik kami itu,
31 —it shall even come to pass, when he sees the boy is not with us, [that] he will die, and thy servants will bring down the old age of thy servant, and our father, with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
pasti ayah kami akan meninggal. Nyawanya bergantung kepada anak itu, dan ia sudah begitu tua sehingga kesedihan yang kami datangkan kepadanya itu akan mengakibatkan kematiannya. (Sheol h7585)
32 For thy servant has received the boy [in charge] from his father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, and place him before thee, I shall be guilty towards my father for ever.
Lagipula, hamba telah berjanji kepada ayah hamba bahwa hamba menjadi jaminan anak itu. Hamba berkata kepadanya, bahwa jika hamba tidak membawa anak itu kembali kepadanya, hambalah yang akan menanggung hukuman seumur hidup.
33 Now then I will remain a servant with thee instead of the lad, a domestic of my lord; but let the lad go up with his brethren.
Jadi, hamba mohon, Tuanku, izinkanlah hamba tinggal di sini menjadi hamba Tuanku menggantikan adik kami ini; biarlah ia pulang bersama-sama dengan abang-abangnya.
34 For how shall I go up to my father, the lad not being with us? lest I behold the evils which will befall my father.
Bagaimana hamba dapat kembali kepada ayah kami jika anak itu tidak ikut? Hamba tidak tahan nanti melihat musibah yang akan menimpa ayah kami itu."
