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.
Linili’e amy zao i mpamandro’ i anjomba’eiy ami’ty hoe, Atsefo mahakama o goni’ ondatio, ze leo’e logologoeñe, le songa apoho am-bava’ ty goni’e ao i drala’ indaty reiy;
2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
le apoho amy goni’ i Beniamine ao i fitoviko volafotiy rekets’ ty drala’ i tsako’ey. Aa le nanoe’e i sinaontsi’ Iosefey.
3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
Ie nazava amy loak’ àndroy le nampionjonem-b’eo i lahilahy rey rekets’ o borìke’eo.
4 And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when you do overtake them, say to them, Why have you rewarded evil for good?
Aa ie vaho nienga i rovay, mb’e tsy nañavelo lavitse, le hoe t’Iosefe amy mpamandro’ i anjomba’eiy, Miongaha, horidaño ondatio, le ie ifanampea’o, ano ty hoe, Akore ty namalea’ areo raty ty soa?
5 Is not this it in which my lord drinks, and whereby indeed he divines? you have done evil in so doing.
Tsy atoy hao ty finoma’ i talèkoy, toe i fisikilia’ey? Ie nanao hakelohañe amy nanoe’areoy.
6 And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these same words.
Ie nitra’e iereo, le tinaro’e am’iereo i entañe zay.
7 And they said to him, Why says my lord these words? God forbid that your servants should do according to this thing:
Le vinale’ iareo ty hoe: Ino ty isaontsian-talèko o entañe zao? Tsy marine’ o mpitoro’oo ty manao i tsaraeñey.
8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of your lord’s house silver or gold?
Heheke te nahere’ay ama’o boak’ an-tane Kanàne añe o drala nizoe’ay am-po’o goni’aio; inoñe arè ty hikizoa’ay volafoty ndra volamena añ’anjomba’ i talè’oy?
9 With whomsoever of your servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.
Ie zoeñe ami’ty raik’ amo mpitoro’o retoy i raha zay le ie ty hikenkañe, vaho ho ondevo’ i talè’aiy ka zahay.
10 And he said, Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and you shall be blameless.
Hoe re, Ie izay, amy fivola’ areoy, fe ze anjoàñe i rahay ro hondevoko vaho hidada nahareo.
11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
Aa le nalisa iareo songa nanjotso ty goni’e an-tane, vaho sindre nanokake i goni’ey.
12 And he searched, and began at the oldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
Kinodebe’e, nifototse aman-joke’e pak’an-tsitso’e; le nioniñe an-goni’ i Beniamine ao i fitoviy.
13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
Songa nandria-tsaroñe amy zao, sambe nampijiny ty borìke’e indraike vaho nimpoly mb’an-drova mb’eo.
14 And Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
Pok’ añ’anjomba’ Iosefe t’Iehodà naho o rahalahi’eo ie mbe tao, le nibaboke an-tane añatrefa’e.
15 And Joseph said to them, What deed is this that you have done? know you not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
Hoe t’Iosefe am’iereo, Ino o nanoe’ areo zao? Amoea’ areo te toe mpisikily ondaty manahak’ ahikoo?
16 And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants: behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
Le hoe t’Iehodà, Ino ty ho volañe’ay aman-talè’ay? Ino ty ho talilie’ay? Akore ty hiveroha’ay? Fa naboan’ Añahare ty hamengoha’ o mpitoro’oo; intoy arè zahay ondevo’ ty talè’ay, Izahay mitraok’ amy nanjoàñe i fitoviy.
17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace to your father.
Fa hoe re, Tsy marine’ ahy ty hanao izay. I nahaisahañe i fitoviy, ie ty hondevoko; f’inahareo ka, mañaveloa am-panintsiñañe mb’ aman-drae’areo añe.
18 Then Judah came near to him, and said, Oh my lord, let your servant, I pray you, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not your anger burn against your servant: for you are even as Pharaoh.
Nitotok’ aze t’Iehodà nanao ty hoe, O talèko, angao hivolañe kede an-dravembian-talèko ao ty mpitoro’o, le ehe tsy hiforoforo ty haviñera’o amo mpitoro’oo kanao mira amy Parò irehe.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have you a father, or a brother?
Nañontanea’ ty talè’ay o mpitoro’eo ty hoe, Aman-drae ndra rahalahy hao nahareo?
20 And we said to 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 loves him.
Le hoe zahay amy talè’aiy, Manan-drae zahay, androanavy bey, vaho ty rahalahy tora’ i haantera’ey. Nivetrake i rahalahi’ey, le ie ty honka’e amo anan-drene’eo vaho ikokoan-drae’e.
21 And you said to your servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.
Le nanoe’o ty hoe o mpitoro’oo, Ampizotsò mb’etoan-dre ho trea’ o masokoo.
22 And we said to my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
Le hoe zahay amy talèkoy, Tsy mete mienga an-drae’e i ajalahiy, tsy mone hihomake t’i rae’e.
23 And you said to your servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, you shall see my face no more.
Le nanoe’o ty hoe o mpitoro’oo, Naho tsy mindre mizotso ama’ areo mb’etoa i tsitson-drahalahi’ areoy le tsy ho oni’ areo ka ty tareheko.
24 And it came to pass when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Ie nimpoly aman-drae’ay mpitoro’oy añe vaho natalili’ay i saontsin-talèkoy,
25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
le nanao ty hoe ty rae’ay, Mibaliha, ikalò mahakama tsy ampeampe tika.
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.
Aa hoe zahay, Tsy mete ty hizotsoa’ay; f’ie ama’ay i zai’aiy, le hizotso mb’eo. Fa tsy hahaoniñe ty lahara’ indatiy zahay naho tsy rekets’ama’ay i tsitso’aiy.
27 And your servant my father said to us, You know that my wife bore me two sons:
Le hoe ty rae’ay mpitoro’o ama’ay, Fohi’ areo te nahatoly ana-dahy roe ho ahiko i valikoy;
28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
nieng’ ahy ty raike, le hoe iraho, Toe nirimitem-biby, vaho tsy treako ka.
29 And if you take this also from me, and mischief befall him, you shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Aa naho endese’ areo añe boak’ amako ka itoy, vaho manjo-voiñe le hampidrodrète’ areo an-kòntoke mb’an-tsikeokeok’ ao o volo-fotikoo. (Sheol h7585)
30 Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;
Aa naho himpoly mb’aman-draeko mpitoro’o mb’eo iraho tsy reketse i tsitso’ey, kanao mifandrohy ami’ty havelo’ i ajalahiy ty arofo’e,
31 It shall come to pass, when he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and your servants shall bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
ie mahaoniñe te tsy ama’ay i ajalahiy vaho hihomake; le hampidrodrète’ o mpitoro’oo mb’an-tsikeokeok’ ao o maròy fotin-drae’ay mpitoro’oo, (Sheol h7585)
32 For your servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I bring him not to you, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
fa nitsoake i ajalahiy aman-drae’e o mpitoro’oo, ie nanoako ty hoe, Naho tsy hampoliko ama’o i ajalahiy—le izaho ty hivave i hakeo zay añatrefan-draeko kitro katroke.
33 Now therefore, I pray you, let your servant abide instead of the lad a slave to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brothers.
Ie amy zao, ehe meteo ho ondevo’ i talèko iraho hisolo i ajalahiy; vaho angao hionjomb’eo mindre amo rahalahi’eo i ajalahiy.
34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
Fa aia ty himpoliako aman-draeko añe naho tsy mindre amako i ajalahiy? Irevendreveñako ty hahatrea o haloviloviañe hifetsak’ aman-draekoo.
