Genesis 44
1 Afterward he commanded his steward, saying, Fill the mens sackes with foode, as much as they can carry, and put euery mans money in his sackes mouth.
Apre sa, Jozèf bay chèf domestik la lòd sa a: -Plen sak mesye yo manje mezi yo ka pote. Mete lajan chak moun nan bouch sak yo.
2 And put my cup, I meane the siluer cup, in the sackes mouth of the yongest, and his corne money. And he did according to the commandement that Ioseph gaue him.
W'a pran gwo gode m' lan, gode an ajan an, w'a mete l' nan bouch sak pi piti a ansanm ak tout lajan l' lan. Chèf domestik la fè sa Jozèf te di l' fè a.
3 And in the morning the men were sent away, they, and their asses.
Nan denmen maten, byen bonè, yo voye mesye yo al fè wout yo ak tout bourik yo.
4 And when they went out of the citie not farre off, Ioseph sayd to his stewarde, Vp, follow after the men: and when thou doest ouertake them, say vnto them, Wherefore haue ye rewarded euill for good?
Yo te fin kite lavil la dèyè, men yo pa t' pi lwen pase sa, lè Jozèf di domestik li a: -Leve, kouri dèyè mesye yo. Lè w'a trape yo, w'a di yo: Poukisa nou aji mal konsa ak moun ki fè nou byen?
5 Is that not the cuppe, wherein my Lord drinketh? and in the which he doeth deuine and prophecie? ye haue done euill in so doing.
Poukisa nou pran gwo gode mèt mwen an? Se ladan l' li bwè, se ak li li sèvi pou l' konnen sa ki pral pase. Sa nou fè a pa bon menm.
6 And when he ouertooke them, he sayde those wordes vnto them.
Lè domestik la trape yo, li repete tout sa mèt li a te di l'.
7 And they answered him, Wherefore sayeth my lorde such wordes? God forbid that thy seruants should do such a thing.
Men yo reponn: -Men msye, nou pa konprann sa w'ap di la a. pou n' ta fè bagay konsa? Mande Bondye padon!
8 Behold, the money which we found in our sackes mouthes, wee brought againe to thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steale out of thy lordes house siluer or golde?
Gade, lajan nou te jwenn premye fwa a nan bouch sak nou yo, nou pote l' tounen ba ou soti peyi Kanaran. Ki jan ou vle wè pou nou ta vòlò ajan osinon lò kay mèt la?
9 With whomesoeuer of thy seruants it bee found, let him dye, and we also will be my lordes bondmen.
Si ou jwenn gwo gode a nan men yonn nan nou, se pou moun sa a mouri. Nou menm lòt yo, se pou yo fè nou tounen esklav.
10 And he said, Now then let it be according vnto your wordes: he with whome it is found, shall be my seruant, and ye shalbe blamelesse.
Domestik la di: -Dakò. Men, si yo jwenn gode a nan men yonn nan nou, se moun sa a m'ap pran pou sèvi m' esklav. Lòt yo lib, yo mèt ale.
11 Then at once euery man tooke downe his sacke to the grounde, and euery one opened his sacke.
La menm, yo prese mete sak yo atè, chak moun louvri sak yo.
12 And he searched, and began at the eldest and left at the yongest: and the cuppe was found in Beniamins sacke.
Chèf domestik Jozèf la pran fouye sak yo yonn apre lòt. Li konmanse ak sak pi gran an pou l' fini ak sak pi piti a. Yo jwenn gode a nan sak Benjamen an.
13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded euery man his asse, and went againe into the citie.
Sa ou tande a, yon sèl lapenn pran mesye yo, yo chire rad sou yo. Chak moun chaje bourik yo ankò, yo tounen lavil.
14 So Iudah and his brethren came to Iosephs house (for he was yet there) and they fel before him on the ground.
Lè Jida ak frè l' yo rive lakay Jozèf, Jozèf te la toujou. Yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan li.
15 Then Ioseph sayd vnto them, What acte is this, which ye haue done? know ye not that such a man as I, can deuine and prophecie?
Jozèf di yo: -Kisa nou fè konsa? Eske nou pa konnen yon nonm tankou mwen gen pouvwa pou m' wè tout sa ki pral rive?
16 Then sayd Iudah, What shall we say vnto my lord? what shall we speake? and howe can we iustifie our selues? God hath found out the wickednesse of thy seruants: beholde, we are seruants to my Lord, both wee, and he, with whome the cuppe is founde.
Jida reponn li: -Mèt, nou pa konn sa pou nou di. Nou pa ka pale. Pa gen savon pou lave nou devan ou. Se Bondye menm ki fè ou dekouvri nou. Mèt, se poutèt sa se pa sèlman moun ki te gen gode a nan men l' lan ki esklav ou, se nou tout ki esklav ou.
17 But he answered, God forbid, that I should doe so, but the man, with whome the cuppe is founde, he shalbe my seruant, and go ye in peace vnto your father.
Men Jozèf di: -Mande Bondye padon! Mwen pa ka fè sa. Moun ki te gen gode a, se li menm sèlman k'ap rete pou sèvi m' esklav. Lòt yo mèt tounen lakay papa yo ak kè poze jan yo te vini an.
18 Then Iudah drewe neere vnto him, and sayde, O my Lord, let thy seruant nowe speake a worde in my lordes eares, and let not thy wrath be kindled against thy seruant: for thou art euen as Pharaoh.
Lè sa a, Jida pwoche bò kote Jozèf, li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, mèt. Kite m' di ou yon ti pawòl. Ou pa bezwen fache sou mwen. Mwen konnen ki di ou menm di farawon an.
19 My Lord asked his seruants, saying, Haue ye a father, or a brother?
Mèt, ou te mande nou èske papa nou la, èske nou gen lòt frè.
20 And we answered my Lord, We haue a father that is olde, and a young childe, which he begate in his age: and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loueth him.
Nou te reponn ou: Wi, nou gen yon papa ki fin vye granmoun ak yon ti frè, pitit papa nou te fè nan vyeyès li. Ti bway la te gen yon lòt frè menm manman avè l'. Men, li mouri. Nan de pitit manman l' yo, se li menm ase ki rete. Lèfini papa nou renmen l' anpil.
21 Now thou saidest vnto thy seruants, Bring him vnto me, that I may set mine eye vpon him.
Ou te mande nou pou nou mennen l' isit la pou ou te ka wè l'.
22 And we answered my lord, The childe can not depart from his father: for if he leaue his father, his father would die.
Nou te reponn ou, mèt, ti bway la pa t' ka kite papa l'. Si li kite l', chagren va touye papa a.
23 Then saydest thou vnto thy seruants, Except your yonger brother come downe with you, looke in my face no more.
Men, ou te kenbe pawòl ou pi rèd, ou te di nou si ti frè nou an pa vini ak nou, nou pa bezwen parèt devan ou.
24 So when we came vnto thy seruant our father, and shewed him what my lord had sayd,
Lè nou tounen kay papa nou, nou rakonte l' tout sa ou te di nou.
25 And our father sayde vnto vs, Goe againe, bye vs a litle foode,
Apre sa, papa di nou: Tounen al achte manje pou mwen.
26 Then we answered, We can not go downe: but if our yongest brother go with vs, then will we go downe: for we may not see the mans face, except our yongest brother be with vs.
Nou di l': Non, papa. Nou pa ka desann paske si ti frè nou an pa ale ak nou, nou p'ap ka parèt devan chèf la. Men, si ou dakò pou ti frè nou an ale ak nou, n'a desann.
27 Then thy seruant my father sayde vnto vs, Ye knowe that my wife bare me two sonnes,
Lè sa a, papa nou di: Nou konnen madanm mwen te fè de sèl pitit gason pou mwen.
28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Of a suretie he is torne in pieces, and I sawe him not since.
Gen yonn ki pati kite m'. Mwen kwè se bèt nan bwa ki dwe devore l', paske mwen pa janm wè l' jouk koulye a.
29 Nowe yee take this also away from me: if death take him, then yee shall bring my graye head in sorowe to the graue. (Sheol h7585)
Jòdi a, si nou pran sa a nan men m', si yon malè rive l', avèk tout laj sa ki sou tèt mwen an, mwen p'ap ka sipòte lapenn sa a, chagren va touye m'. (Sheol h7585)
30 Nowe therefore, when I come to thy seruant my father, and the childe be not with vs (seeing that his life dependeth on the childes life)
Koulye a atò, mèt, si mwen tounen al jwenn papa m' san pitit gason l' sa a, ki de je nan tèt li,
31 Then when hee shall see that the childe is not come, he will die: so shall thy seruants bring the graye head of thy seruant our father with sorowe to the graue. (Sheol h7585)
kou la gade li wè pitit li a pa la, l'ap mouri. Se nou menm ki va lakòz lapenn sa a k'ap twòp pou granmoun lan. Papa nou va mouri sou kont nou. (Sheol h7585)
32 Doubtlesse thy seruant became suertie for the childe to my father, and said, If I bring him not vnto thee againe, then I will beare the blame vnto my father for euer.
Wi, se mwen menm ki te bay papa m' garanti m'ap tounen ak pitit la. Mwen te di l': Si m' pa mennen l' tounen ba li, se mwen menm k'ap pote fòt la devan l' jouk jou mwen mouri.
33 Nowe therefore, I pray thee, let me thy seruant bide for the childe, as a seruant to my Lord, and let the childe go vp with his brethren.
Se poutèt sa, mèt, tanpri, kite ti bway la ale avèk frè l' yo, kite m' pran plas li. Gade m' pou esklav ou.
34 For how can I go vp to my father, if the childe be not with me, vnlesse I woulde see the euil that shall come on my father?
Mwen pa konnen ki pye pou m' ta mete devan pou m' tounen kay papa m' san ti gason an pa avèk nou. Mwen pa ta vle wè lapenn sa a tonbe sou papa m'.
