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.
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, 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.
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 And in the morning the men were sent away, they, and their asses.
Na tongo-tongo, batikaki bandeko ya Jozefi kozonga elongo na ba-ane na bango.
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?
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 that not the cuppe, wherein my Lord drinketh? and in the which he doeth deuine and prophecie? ye haue done euill in so doing.
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 when he ouertooke them, he sayde those wordes vnto them.
Mokambi ya ndako ya Jozefi akangaki bango mpe alobelaki bango lolenge nkolo na ye atindaki ye.
7 And they answered him, Wherefore sayeth my lorde such wordes? God forbid that thy seruants should 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 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?
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 whomesoeuer of thy seruants it bee found, let him dye, and we also will be my lordes 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 then let it be according vnto your wordes: he with whome it is found, shall be my seruant, and ye shalbe blamelesse.
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 Then at once euery man tooke downe his sacke to the grounde, and euery one opened his sacke.
Moko na moko akitisaki saki na ye na lombangu na mabele mpe afungolaki yango.
12 And he searched, and began at the eldest and left at the yongest: and the cuppe was found in Beniamins sacke.
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 laded euery man his asse, and went againe into the citie.
Tango bamonaki bongo, bapasolaki bilamba na bango; bazongisaki biloko na ba-ane na bango mpe bazongaki bango nyonso na engumba.
14 So Iudah and his brethren came to Iosephs house (for he was yet there) and they fel before him on 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 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?
Jozefi alobaki na bango: — Likambo nini oyo bosali? Boyebi te ete moto lokola ngai nazali na makoki ya komona makambo na bosoloka?
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 seruants, saying, Haue 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 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.
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 Now thou saidest vnto thy seruants, Bring him vnto me, that I may set mine eye vpon him.
Bongo olobaki na basali na yo: « Bomemela ngai ye mpo ete nakoka komona ye na miso na ngai. »
22 And we answered my lord, The childe can not depart from his father: for if he leaue 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 Then saydest thou vnto thy seruants, Except your yonger brother come downe with you, looke in 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 So when we came vnto thy seruant our father, and shewed him what my lord had sayd,
Tango tozongaki epai ya mosali na yo, tata na ngai, toyebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo nkolo na ngai alobaki.
25 And our father sayde vnto vs, Goe againe, bye vs a litle foode,
Bongo tata na biso alobaki: « Bozonga mpe bosomba ndambo ya biloko ya kolia. »
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.
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 Then thy seruant my father sayde vnto vs, Ye knowe that my wife bare me two sonnes,
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, Of a suretie he is torne in pieces, and I sawe him not since.
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 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)
Soki bozwi ngai lisusu mwana oyo mpe soki likama ekweyeli ye, bokoboma ngai na pasi, na kimobange na ngai. » (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)
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 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)
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 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.
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 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.
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 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?
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!
