Genesis 44
1 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.
Jozefi apesaki mitindo epai ya moto oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya ndako na ye: « Tondisa biloko ya kolia na basaki ya bato oyo kolanda kilo oyo bakoki komema mpe tia mbongo ya moko na moko na moto ya saki na ye.
2 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.
Okotia kopo na ngai oyo ya palata na moto ya saki ya leki na bango ya suka elongo na mbongo na ye ya ble. » Moto yango asalaki ndenge kaka Jozefi alobaki na ye.
3 In the morning, when it was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
Na tongo-tongo, batikaki bandeko ya Jozefi kozonga elongo na ba-ane na bango.
4 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?
Wana babimaki na engumba, bamikomelaki nanu mosika te, Jozefi alobaki na moto oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya ndako na ye: « Telema, landa bato wana! Mpe tango okokanga bango, tuna bango: mpo na nini bozongisi mabe na malamu?
5 Is not this [it] in which my lord drinks, and in which indeed he divines? Ye have done evil [in] what ye have done.
Mpo na nini boyibi kopo oyo nkolo na ngai amelelaka mayi mpe asalelaka mpo na koyeba makambo oyo ekoya? Likambo oyo bosali ezali penza mabe. »
6 And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these words.
Mokambi ya ndako ya Jozefi akangaki bango mpe alobelaki bango lolenge nkolo na ye atindaki ye.
7 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!
Kasi bazongiselaki ye: — Mpo na nini nkolo na biso alobi makambo ya boye? Basali na yo bakoki kosala makambo ya boye te.
8 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?
Tomemelaki yo mbongo oyo tomonaki tango tofungolaki basaki na biso wuta na mokili ya Kanana. Ndenge nini tokoki lisusu koyiba wolo to palata kati na ndako ya nkolo na yo?
9 With whomsoever of thy servants it is found, let him die; and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
Soki moko kati na basali na yo amonani ete azali na yango, akokufa; mpe biso bamosusu oyo totikali, tokokoma bawumbu ya nkolo na biso.
10 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.
Moto oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya ndako ya Jozefi alobaki: — Malamu mingi! Tika ete ezala ndenge bolobi! Moto oyo akomonana ete azali na yango, akokoma mowumbu na ngai. Bino ba-oyo botikali, bokozala na likambo te.
11 And they hasted and laid down every man his sack on the ground, and opened every man his sack.
Moko na moko akitisaki saki na ye na lombangu na mabele mpe afungolaki yango.
12 And he searched carefully: he began at the eldest, and ended at the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Moto oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya Jozefi abandaki koluka kobanda na kulutu kino na leki. Mpe kopo emonanaki na saki ya Benjame.
13 Then they rent their clothes, and loaded every man his ass, and they returned to the city.
Tango bamonaki bongo, bapasolaki bilamba na bango; bazongisaki biloko na ba-ane na bango mpe bazongaki bango nyonso na engumba.
14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; and he was still there; and they fell down before him to the ground.
Jozefi azalaki kaka na ndako. Tango Yuda na bandeko na ye ya mibali bakotaki na ndako, bagumbamaki kino na se liboso na ye.
15 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?
Jozefi alobaki na bango: — Likambo nini oyo bosali? Boyebi te ete moto lokola ngai nazali na makoki ya komona makambo na bosoloka?
16 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.
Yuda azongisaki: — Likambo nini tokoki koloba na nkolo na ngai? Tokoloba lisusu nini? Ndenge nini tokoki kotalisa ete toyebi likambo te? Nzambe alakisi polele mbeba ya basali na yo. Tokomi sik’oyo bawumbu ya nkolo na ngai, biso nyonso elongo na ye oyo amonani ete azalaki na kopo kati na saki na ye.
17 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.
Kasi Jozefi alobaki: — Nakoki kosala likambo ya boye te! Kaka moto oyo amonani ete azalaki na kopo kati na saki na ye nde akozala mowumbu na ngai. Bino ba-oyo botikali, bozonga na kimia epai ya tata na bino.
18 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.
Yuda apusanaki pembeni na ye mpe alobaki: — Nabondeli yo, nkolo na ngai! Tika ete mosali na yo aloba liloba moko epai ya nkolo na ngai. Kosilikela mosali na yo te, pamba te ndenge Faraon azali, ndenge wana mpe yo ozali.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
Nkolo na ngai atunaki basali na ye: « Bozali na tata to na ndeko mosusu ya mobali? »
20 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.
Tozongiselaki nkolo na ngai: « Tozali na tata oyo akomi mobange mpe ndeko mobali ya leki oyo babotelaki tata na biso na kimobange. Ndeko na ye ya mobali akufa mpe atikala kaka ye moko mwana mobali na libumu ya mama na ye, mpe tata na ye alingaka ye mingi. »
21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set mine eye on him.
Bongo olobaki na basali na yo: « Bomemela ngai ye mpo ete nakoka komona ye na miso na ngai. »
22 And we said to my lord, The youth cannot leave his father: if he should leave his father, [his father] would die.
Tozongiselaki nkolo na ngai: « Elenge mobali akoki kotika tata na ye te; soki atiki ye, tata na ye akokufa. »
23 And thou saidst to thy servants, Unless your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
Kasi olobaki na basali na yo: « Soki leki na bino ya mobali ayei elongo na bino te, bokomona lisusu elongi na ngai te. »
24 And it came to pass when we came up to thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Tango tozongaki epai ya mosali na yo, tata na ngai, toyebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo nkolo na ngai alobaki.
25 And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food.
Bongo tata na biso alobaki: « Bozonga mpe bosomba ndambo ya biloko ya kolia. »
26 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.
Kasi tozongisaki: « Tokoki kokende te. Tokokende kaka soki leki na biso ya mobali azali elongo na biso. Tokoki komona elongi ya moto wana te soki leki na biso ya mobali azali elongo na biso te. »
27 And thy servant my father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two [sons];
Mosali na yo, tata na biso, alobaki na biso: « Boyebi ete mwasi na ngai, Rasheli, abotelaki ngai bana mibale ya mibali.
28 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.
Moko na bango akenda mosika na ngai. Nakanisi ete ezali ya solo, nyama moko ya mabe esila kolia ye. Banda tango wana, natikala komona ye lisusu te.
29 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)
Soki bozwi ngai lisusu mwana oyo mpe soki likama ekweyeli ye, bokoboma ngai na pasi, na kimobange na ngai. » (Sheol h7585)
30 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,
Sik’oyo, soki elenge mobali azali elongo na biso te tango nakozonga epai ya tata na ngai, mosali na yo, mpe soki tata na ngai, oyo motema na ye ekangama makasi na motema ya elenge mobali oyo,
31 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)
amoni ete elenge mobali azali elongo na biso te, wana akokufa. Basali na yo bakoboma tata na biso na pasi na kimobange na ye. (Sheol h7585)
32 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.
Pamba te ngai mosali na yo, nandimaki, na miso ya tata na ngai, kobatela elenge mobali oyo. Nalobaki: « Soki nazongiseli yo ye te, nakozala na ngambo liboso na yo tata na ngai, bomoi na ngai mobimba. »
33 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;
Yango wana sik’oyo, nabondeli yo, tika ete mosali na yo akoma mowumbu ya nkolo na ngai na esika ya elenge mobali oyo mpe tika ete elenge mobali azonga elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali.
34 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.
Ndenge nini nakoki kozonga epai ya tata na ngai soki elenge mobali azali elongo na ngai te? Kotika te ete namona pasi oyo ekokomela tata na ngai!
