Genesis 44
1 And he commands him who [is] over his house, saying, “Fill the bags of the men [with] food, as they are able to carry, and put the money of each in the mouth of his bag;
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 my cup, the silver cup, you put in the mouth of the bag of the young one, and his grain-money”; and he does according to the word of Joseph which he has spoken.
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 The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their donkeys—
Na tongo-tongo, batikaki bandeko ya Jozefi kozonga elongo na ba-ane na bango.
4 they have gone out of the city—they have not gone far off—and Joseph has said to him who [is] over his house, “Rise, pursue after the men; and you have overtaken them, and you have said to them: Why have you repaid evil 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 this not that with which my lord drinks? And he observes diligently with it; you have done evil [in] that which you have done.”
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 he overtakes them, and speaks to them these words,
Mokambi ya ndako ya Jozefi akangaki bango mpe alobelaki bango lolenge nkolo na ye atindaki ye.
7 and they say to him, “Why does my lord speak according to these words? Far be it from your servants to do according to this word;
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 the mouth of our bags we brought back to you from the land of Canaan, and how do we steal from the house of your lord silver or gold?
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 whomsoever of your servants it is found, he has died, and we also are to my lord for servants.”
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 says, “Now also, according to your words, so it [is]; he with whom it is found becomes my servant, and you are acquitted”;
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 and they hurry and take down each his bag to the earth, and each opens his bag;
Moko na moko akitisaki saki na ye na lombangu na mabele mpe afungolaki yango.
12 and he searches—at the eldest he has begun, and at the youngest he has completed—and the cup is found in the bag of Benjamin;
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 and they tear their garments, and each loads his donkey, and they return to the city.
Tango bamonaki bongo, bapasolaki bilamba na bango; bazongisaki biloko na ba-ane na bango mpe bazongaki bango nyonso na engumba.
14 And Judah and his brothers come to the house of Joseph, and he is yet there, and they fall to the earth before him;
Jozefi azalaki kaka na ndako. Tango Yuda na bandeko na ye ya mibali bakotaki na ndako, bagumbamaki kino na se liboso na ye.
15 and Joseph says to them, “What [is] this deed that you have done? Have you not known that a man like me diligently observes?”
Jozefi alobaki na bango: — Likambo nini oyo bosali? Boyebi te ete moto lokola ngai nazali na makoki ya komona makambo na bosoloka?
16 And Judah says, “What do we say to my lord? What do we speak? And how do we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we [are] servants to my lord, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found”;
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 and he says, “Far be it from me to do this; the man in whose hand the cup has been found, he becomes my servant; and you, go up in peace to 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 And Judah comes near to him and says, “O my lord, please let your servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not let your anger burn against your servant—for you are 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 has asked his servants, saying, Do you have a father or brother?
Nkolo na ngai atunaki basali na ye: « Bozali na tata to na ndeko mosusu ya mobali? »
20 And we say to my lord, We have a father, an aged one, and a child of old age, a little one; and his brother died, and he is left alone of his mother, and his father has loved 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 And you say to your servants, Bring him down to me, and I set my eye on him;
Bongo olobaki na basali na yo: « Bomemela ngai ye mpo ete nakoka komona ye na miso na ngai. »
22 and we say to my lord, The youth is not able to leave his father, when he has left his father, then he has died;
Tozongiselaki nkolo na ngai: « Elenge mobali akoki kotika tata na ye te; soki atiki ye, tata na ye akokufa. »
23 and you say to your servants, If your young brother does not come down with you, you do not add to see my face.
Kasi olobaki na basali na yo: « Soki leki na bino ya mobali ayei elongo na bino te, bokomona lisusu elongi na ngai te. »
24 And it comes to pass, that we have come up to your servant my father, that we declare to him the words of my lord;
Tango tozongaki epai ya mosali na yo, tata na ngai, toyebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo nkolo na ngai alobaki.
25 and our father says, Return, buy for us a little food,
Bongo tata na biso alobaki: « Bozonga mpe bosomba ndambo ya biloko ya kolia. »
26 and we say, We are not able to go down; if our young brother is with us, then we have gone down; for we are not able to see the man’s face, and our young brother not with us.
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 And your servant my father says to us, You have known that my wife bore two to me,
Mosali na yo, tata na biso, alobaki na biso: « Boyebi ete mwasi na ngai, Rasheli, abotelaki ngai bana mibale ya mibali.
28 and one goes out from me, and I say, Surely he is torn—torn! And I have not seen him 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 when you have taken also this from my presence, and harm has met him, then you have brought down my grey hairs with evil to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Soki bozwi ngai lisusu mwana oyo mpe soki likama ekweyeli ye, bokoboma ngai na pasi, na kimobange na ngai. » (Sheol h7585)
30 And now, at my coming to your servant my father, and the youth not with us (and his soul is bound up in his soul),
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 it has come to pass, when he sees that the youth is not, that he has died, and your servants have brought down the grey hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol; (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 for your servant obtained the youth by guarantee to my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you—then I have sinned against my father all the days.
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 And now, please let your servant abide instead of the youth [as] a servant to my lord, and the youth goes up with his brothers,
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 do I go up to my father, and the youth not with me? Lest I look on the evil which finds 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!
