Genesis 44
1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying: 'Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's 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 goblet, the silver goblet, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money.' And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
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 As soon as the morning was light, 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 were gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward: 'Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them: Wherefore have ye rewarded evil 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 not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby he indeed divineth? ye have done evil 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 he overtook them, and he spoke unto them these words.
Alò, li te rive sou yo, e li te pale pawòl sa ak yo.
7 And they said unto him: 'Wherefore speaketh my lord such words as these? Far be it from thy servants that they 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 sacks' mouths, we brought back unto thee out of the land of Canaan; how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
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 whomsoever of thy servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's 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 also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my bondman; and ye shall be blameless.'
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 they hastened, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
Alò, byen prese, chak moun te desann sak li atè, pou te ouvri sak li.
12 And he searched, beginning at the eldest, and leaving off at the youngest; and the goblet was found in Benjamin's sack.
Li te fè ankèt, kòmanse avèk pi gran, fini avèk pi jenn nan, e tas la te twouve nan sak Benjamin an.
13 And they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
Konsa, yo te chire rad yo, e lè chak moun te fin chaje bèt li, yo te retounen nan vil la.
14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house, and he was yet there; and they fell 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 And Joseph said unto them: 'What deed is this that ye have done? know ye not that such a man as I will indeed divine?'
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 And Judah said: 'What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.'
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 And he said: 'Far be it from me that I should do so; the man in whose hand the goblet is found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, get you up in peace unto 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 Judah came near unto him, and said: 'Oh 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.
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 servants, saying: Have 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 said unto my lord: We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth 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 And thou saidst unto thy servants: Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
“Konsa, ou te di sèvitè ou yo: ‘Mennen fè l desann pou m kapab fikse zye m sou li.’
22 And we said unto my lord: The lad cannot leave his father; for if he should leave 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 And thou saidst unto thy servants: Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see 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 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
“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 said: Go again, buy us a little food.
Papa nou te di nou: ‘Retounen achte yon ti manje.’
26 And we said: We cannot go down; if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.
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 And thy servant my father said unto us: Ye know that my wife bore me two sons;
“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: Surely he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him 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 and if ye take this one also from me, and harm befall him, ye will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (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 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his soul is bound up with the lad's soul;
“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 it will come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die; and thy servants will bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. (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 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying: If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I bear the blame to my father for ever.
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 Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up 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 shall I go up to my father, if the lad be not with me? lest I look upon the evil 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.”
