< Genesis 44 >
1 And Joseph commanded the steward of his house, saying: Fill their sacks with corn, as much as they can hold: and put the money of every one in the top of his sack.
Ara raa basa ma, Yusuf naꞌauꞌutuꞌ malangga mana tao ues na nae, “We! Muu ombo are neu atahori ia ra karon nara losa sofe se. Ma tao baliꞌ doi nara nisiꞌ esa-esaꞌ karon na rala.
2 And in the mouth of the younger’s sack put my silver cup, and the price which he gave for the wheat. And it was so done.
Boe ma haꞌi mala au mok lilo fula ngga, fo tao nisiꞌ ana muriꞌ a karon na.” De ana neu tao tungga Yusuf parenda na.
3 And when the morning arose, they were sent away with their asses.
Mbila fefetu ana na, Yusuf mboꞌi se lao baliꞌ rendi nanaat no keledei nara.
4 And when they were now departed out of the city, and had gone forward a little way; Joseph sending for the steward of his house, said: Arise, and pursue after the men: and when thou hast overtaken them, say to them: Why have you returned evil for good?
Ara nda feꞌe raꞌadooꞌ kamboꞌ sa ma, Yusuf nafadꞌe malangga mana tao ues na nae, “Muu tungga atahori naa ra lai-lai. Mete ma hambu se, naa, mufadꞌe maꞌo ia: ‘Taꞌo bee de rala mara deꞌulakaꞌ mbali toulasiꞌ a? Losa hei balas malole na mo deꞌulakaꞌ taꞌo ia.
5 The cup which you have stolen is that in which my lord drinketh, and in which he is wont to divine: you have done a very evil thing.
Taꞌo bee de loi mendi malangga mok lilo fula na? Hei nda bubꞌuluꞌ sa, do? Naa nda akaꞌ a mok nininuꞌ sa. Ana o sangga atahori uanale nara nendiꞌ mok naa. Naa mok mahineꞌ! Hei tatao mara ia, deꞌulaka na seli ma!’”
6 He did as he had commanded him. And having overtaken them, he spoke to them the same words.
Basa de, malangga mana tao ues neu tungga de hambu se. Ana nafadꞌe se, tungga Yusuf oꞌola na.
7 And they answered: Why doth our lord speak so, as though thy servants had committed so heinous a fact?
Ara rataa rae, “Amaꞌ masud na taꞌo bee ia? Hai sumba. Hai nda tao deꞌulakaꞌ taꞌo naa sa.
8 The money, that we found in the top of our sacks, we brought back to thee from the land of Chanaan: how then should it be that we should steal out of thy lord’s house, gold or silver?
Amaꞌ bubꞌuluꞌ, to? Doi-doiꞌ mana mia karon rala faiꞌ naa, hai fee baliꞌ neu amaꞌ, to? De taꞌo bee de hai loi malangga lilo fula na mia umen fai. Hokoꞌ o!
9 With whomsoever of thy servants shall be found that which thou seekest, let him die, and we will be the bondmen of my lord.
Amaꞌ paresaꞌ neuꞌ ena. Hambu sia seka karon na, naa hukun misa e leo. Ma hai ruma dadꞌi ate ma.”
10 And he said to them: Let it be according to your sentence: with whomsoever it shall be found, let him be my servant, and you shall be blameless.
Malangga mana tao ues a nae, “Hokoꞌ! Taꞌo ia. Mete ma hambu mok sia seka, naa, ana dadꞌi au ate ngga. Ruma baliꞌ.”
11 Then they speedily took down their sacks to the ground, and every man opened his sack.
Boe ma ara raꞌondaꞌ karon naa ra lai-lai, de sefi se.
12 Which when he had searched, beginning at the eldest and ending at the youngest, he found the cup in Benjamin’s sack.
Malangga mana tao ues a paresaꞌ lutu-leloꞌ karon naa ra esa-esaꞌ, mia aꞌa ka karon na, losa odꞌiꞌ a ena na. De ana hambu mok lilo fulaꞌ mia Benyamin karon na.
13 Then they rent their garments, and loading their asses again, returned into the town.
Boe ma Benyamin aꞌa nara rala nara rambalulutu. De ara fua baliꞌ karon naa ra keledei ata reu, ma baliꞌ kambo reu.
14 And Juda at the head of his brethren went in to Joseph, (for he was not yet gone out of the place), and they altogether fell down before him on the ground.
Losa Yusuf ume na boe, ana feꞌe sia naa. De ara sendeꞌ lululangga nara neu mata na.
15 And he said to them: Why would you do so? know you not that there is no one like me in the science of divining.
Yusuf bua se nae, “He! Taꞌo bee de hei tao onaꞌ ia neu au. Hei nda mihine mae atahori monaen onaꞌ au ia, sangga atahori rahasia na endiꞌ mahineꞌ naa sa, do?”
16 And Juda said to him: What shall we answer my lord? or what shall we say, or be able justly to allege? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are all bondmen to my lord, both we, and he with whom the cup was found.
Yahuda nataa nae, “Awi! Lamatualain natudꞌu hai sala mara ena. Hai mae saa fai, amaꞌ? Hai mae misilaꞌe ao ma, onaꞌ bee fai. Mete ma amaꞌ nae hela hai odꞌi muri ma ia, naa, malole lenaꞌ amaꞌ hela basa hai. Haꞌi mala basa hai dadꞌi ate ma.”
17 Joseph answered: God forbid that I should do so: he that stole the cup, he shall be my bondman: and go you away free to your father.
Yusuf nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ! Hambu mok a sia seka e, na eni mana dadꞌi au ate ngga. Hei ruma, nenemboꞌit. Baliꞌ misiꞌ ama ma leo!”
18 Then Juda coming nearer, said boldly: I beseech thee, my lord, let thy servant speak a word in thy ears, and be not angry with thy servant: for after Pharao thou art,
Yahuda neu deka-deka no Yusuf, de olaꞌ nae, “Ama fetor! Au bubꞌuluꞌ amaꞌ koasa na onaꞌ maneꞌ a boe. Huu naa, de afiꞌ mumunasa au dei. Au oꞌe ola-olaꞌ mbei o amaꞌ.
19 My lord. Thou didst ask thy servants the first time: Have you a father or a brother?
Maꞌahulu na amaꞌ natane hai mae, ‘Hai ama ma no odꞌi ma esa feꞌe sia, do?’
20 And we answered thee, my lord: We have a father an old man, and a young boy, that was born in his old age; whose brother by the mother is dead: and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him tenderly.
Hai mitaa mae, ‘Hai ama ma lasiꞌ ena. Boe ma odꞌi muri ma, esa. Leleꞌ bꞌonggi e, hai ama ma lasiꞌ ena. Aꞌa bꞌonggi na esaꞌ a, te ana nese ena. Ruꞌa se ina na mate ena. De ia naa, helaꞌ a mesaꞌ ne. Naa de, hai ama ma sue nala e seli.’
21 And thou saidst to thy servants: Bring him hither to me, and I will set my eyes on him.
Basa de, amaꞌ denu hai mo e, fo mita e.
22 We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die.
Te hai mitaa mae, anaꞌ naa nda lao hela ama na sa. Mete ma ana lao hela e, naa, hai ama ma mate, neuꞌ ena.
23 And thou saidst to thy servants: Except your youngest brother come with you, you shall see my face no more.
Boe ma amaꞌ nataa nae, ‘Mete ma hei nda mendi odꞌi ma sa, naa, hei nda bisa mita mata ngga sa ena.’
24 Therefore when we were gone up to thy servant our father, we told him all that my lord had said.
Basa de hai baliꞌ. Mifadꞌe basa amaꞌ oꞌola na neu hai ama ma.
25 And our father said: Go again, and buy us a little wheat.
Dꞌoo-dꞌoo ma, hai nanaa mara basa boe. De hai ama ma denu ima hasa seluꞌ nanaat fai.
26 And we said to him: We cannot go: if our youngest brother go down with us, we will set out together: otherwise, without him we dare not see the man’s face.
Hai mitaa seluꞌ mae, ‘Amaꞌ e! Hai nda mi sia naa sa. Te fetor a, nafadꞌe ena, mete ma hai nda mo odꞌi muriꞌ a sa, naa, hai sudꞌi mindaa mo e. Dadꞌi hai odꞌi muri ma musi tungga, dei fo hai feꞌe lao naa.’
27 Whereunto he answered: You know that my wife bore me two.
Hai ama ma olaꞌ fai nae, ‘Hei bubꞌuluꞌ, to? Au sao ngga Rahel, ana na akaꞌ ruaꞌ a.
28 One went out, and you said: A beast devoured him: and hitherto he appeareth not.
Ana uluꞌ a nese ena. Banda fui ra raa hendi ena. Naa de, losa faiꞌ ia au nda undaa o e sa.
29 If you take this also, and any thing befall him in the way you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow unto hell. (Sheol )
Mete ma hei haꞌi mala ana muriꞌ ia mia au fai, boe ma ana taꞌo esa naa, hei boe tao miꞌisususaꞌ au lasiꞌ ia, de au mate neuꞌ ena.’ (Sheol )
30 Therefore if I shall go to thy servant our father, and the boy be wanting, (whereas his life dependeth upon the life of him, )
31 And he shall see that he is not with us, he will die, and thy servants shall bring down his gray hairs with sorrow unto hell. (Sheol )
De onaꞌ naa, ama fetor. Mete ma au baliꞌ isiꞌ ama ngga, nda o baliꞌ odꞌi muriꞌ ia sa, naa, hai ama ma mate neuꞌ ena, huu rala na esa no anaꞌ naa. Ana namalasi seli ena, naa de mete ma hai boe tao miꞌisususaꞌ e, naa, ana mate neuꞌ ena. (Sheol )
32 Let me be thy proper servant, who took him into my trust, and promised, saying: If I bring him not again, I will be guilty of sin against my father for ever.
Boe ma au o helu ama ngga, au mana o baliꞌ anaꞌ naa. Au helu ae, mete ma nda o baliꞌ anaꞌ ia sa, naa au tanggon salaꞌ losa mate.
33 Therefore I thy servant will stay instead of the boy in the service of my lord, and let the boy go up with his brethren.
Dadꞌi au oꞌe taꞌo ia, amaꞌ: Au leo uhatiꞌ a ia nggati e, fo dadꞌi amaꞌ ate na. Hela e baliꞌ no aꞌa nara.
34 For I cannot return to my father without the boy, lest I be a witness of the calamity that will oppress my father.
Mete ma anaꞌ naa nda tungga sa, naa, au o nda baliꞌ saa boe. Au nda nau ita ama ngga doidꞌoso losa mate sa.”
