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.
Alò, li te pase lòd a chèf domestik la e te di: “Ranpli sak yo avèk manje, tout sa ke yo kapab pote, e mete kòb a chak moun nan bouch sak li.
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.
Plase tas mwen an, tas fèt an ajan an nan bouch sak pi jenn nan, ansanm ak kòb li pou sereyal la.” Epi sa te fèt jan Joseph te mande a.
3 And in the morning the men were sent away, they, and their asses.
Depi li te fè klè, mesye yo te voye ale, yo menm avèk 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 fenk kite vil la, e yo pa t byen lwen lè Joseph te di a chèf domestik li a: “Leve, swiv mesye sa yo. Lè nou rive sou yo, di yo konsa: ‘Poukisa nou rekonpanse mal pou 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.
Èske tas sa a se pa sila ke mèt mwen an bwè ladann, e sèvi pou divinasyon an? Nou te fè mal lè nou te fè sa.’”
6 And when he ouertooke them, he sayde those wordes vnto them.
Alò, li te rive sou yo, e li te pale pawòl sa ak yo.
7 And they answered him, Wherefore sayeth my lorde such wordes? God forbid that thy seruants should do such a thing.
Yo te di li: “Poukisa mèt mwen an pale kalite pawòl sila yo? Sa lwen mwen pou m ta fè yon bagay konsa.
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 byen, lajan ke nou te twouve nan bouch sak nou yo, nou te pote yo bannou soti nan peyi Canaan. Alò, kijan nou ta ka vòlè lò, oswa lajan lakay mèt la?
9 With whomesoeuer of thy seruants it bee found, let him dye, and we also will be my lordes bondmen.
Avèk nenpòt kilès nan sèvitè nou yo ke nou ta twouve l, ke li mouri, e nou osi, nou va devni esklav a mèt nou.”
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.
Alò, li te di: “Konsa kite sa fèt tankou pawòl ou; sila avèk kilès li twouve l la, li va devni esklav mwen, e tout rès nan nou va rete inosan.”
11 Then at once euery man tooke downe his sacke to the grounde, and euery one opened his sacke.
Alò, byen prese, chak moun te desann sak li atè, pou te ouvri sak li.
12 And he searched, and began at the eldest and left at the yongest: and the cuppe was found in Beniamins sacke.
Li te fè ankèt, kòmanse avèk pi gran, fini avèk pi jenn nan, e tas la te twouve nan sak Benjamin an.
13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded euery man his asse, and went againe into the citie.
Konsa, yo te chire rad yo, e lè chak moun te fin chaje bèt li, yo te retounen nan vil la.
14 So Iudah and his brethren came to Iosephs house (for he was yet there) and they fel before him on the ground.
Lè Juda avèk frè li yo te vini lakay Joseph, li te toujou la, e yo te tonbe 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?
Joseph te di yo: “Ki zak sa ke nou te fè la a? Èske nou pa konnen ke yon nonm tankou mwen kapab vrèman pratike divinasyon?”
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.
Konsa, Juda te di: “Kisa nou kapab di a mèt nou? Kisa nou kapab pale? Kijan nou kapab jistifye pwòp tèt nou? Bondye te twouve inikite nan sèvitè ou yo. Gade byen, nou se esklav a mèt nou, ni nou, men osi sila ki te posede tas nou te twouve a.”
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 li te di yo: “Kite sa byen lwen pou m fè sa. Mesye sou sila nou te twouve tas la, li va esklav mwen. Men pou nou, ale anpè vè papa nou.”
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.
Alò, Juda te pwoche li. Li te di: “O mèt mwen, silvouplè, èske sèvitè ou kapab pale yon mo nan zòrèy a mèt la, e li p ap vin fache avèk sèvitè ou a; paske ou menm jan avèk Farawon.
19 My Lord asked his seruants, saying, Haue ye a father, or a brother?
Mèt mwen an te mande sèvitè li yo, e te di: ‘Èske nou genyen yon papa, oswa yon 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 di a mèt mwen: ‘Nou gen yon papa ki granmoun, ak yon timoun li te fè nan vyeyès li. Alò, frè li a gen tan mouri, li sèl ki rete kòm pitit a manman l, e papa li renmen li.’
21 Now thou saidest vnto thy seruants, Bring him vnto me, that I may set mine eye vpon him.
“Konsa, ou te di sèvitè ou yo: ‘Mennen fè l desann pou m kapab fikse zye m sou li.’
22 And we answered my lord, The childe can not depart from his father: for if he leaue his father, his father would die.
“Men nou te di a mèt nou: ‘Jènjan an pa kapab kite papa l; papa l ta mouri.’
23 Then saydest thou vnto thy seruants, Except your yonger brother come downe with you, looke in my face no more.
“Malgre sa, ou te di a sèvitè ou yo: ‘Amwens ke pi jenn nan vin desann avèk nou, nou p ap wè figi m ankò.’
24 So when we came vnto thy seruant our father, and shewed him what my lord had sayd,
“Se te konsa li te rive ke lè nou te monte vè sèvitè ou, papa m, ke nou te pale li pawòl a mèt nou an.
25 And our father sayde vnto vs, Goe againe, bye vs a litle foode,
Papa nou te di nou: ‘Retounen achte yon ti manje.’
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.
Men nou te di: ‘Nou pa kapab desann. Si pi jenn frè nou an avèk nou, nou va desann. Paske nou pa kapab wè figi a nonm nan ankò, sof ke pi jenn frè nou an avèk nou.’
27 Then thy seruant my father sayde vnto vs, Ye knowe that my wife bare me two sonnes,
“Sèvitè ou, papa m, te di nou: ‘Ou konnen ke madanm mwen te fè de fis 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.
Youn nan yo te sòti kite mwen, e mwen te di: “Asireman li te chire an mòso”, e mwen pa wè li depi lè sa.
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)
Si ou pran sila a osi de mwen, e si malè rive li, nou va mennen cheve tèt blanch sa a anba nan sejou mò yo avèk tristès.’ (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)
“Alò, pou sa, lè mwen rive vè sèvitè ou, papa m, e pou jènjan an pa la avèk nou, paske lavi li mare ansanm avèk lavi jènjan an,
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)
lè li wè ke jènjan an pa avèk nou, l ap mouri. Konsa sèvitè ou yo va mennen cheve blanch a sèvitè ou, papa nou anba nan sejou mò yo avèk tristès. (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.
Paske sèvitè ou te devni yon sekirite pou jènjan a papa m nan, e mwen te di: ‘Si mwen pa fè l retounen a ou menm, alò, kite m pote koupabilite sa a devan papa m pou tout tan.’
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.
“Alò, pou sa, kite sèvitè ou a rete, olye ke jènjan an, kòm yon esklav a mèt mwen. E kite jènjan an monte avèk frè li yo.
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?
Paske kijan mwen kapab monte vè papa m si jènjan an pa avè m?—paske mwen pè pou m ta wè malè ki vin pran papa m.”
