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;
Ary Josefa nanome teny ny mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony ka nanao hoe: Fenoy hanina ny lasakan’ ireo lehilahy ireo, araka izay zakany ho entina, ary ataovy eo am-bavan’ ny lasakany avy ny volan’ ny isan-dahy;
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.
ary ny kapoakako, dia ilay kapoaka volafotsy, ataovy eo am-bavan’ ny lasakan’ ilay faralahy mbamin’ ny vola hamidiny vary. Dia nataony araka ny teny izay nolazain’ i Josefa.
3 The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their donkeys—
Ary raha vao nazava ny andro, dia nampandehanina ireo lehilahy ireo, dia izy sy ny borikiny.
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?
Ary rehefa tafavoaka ny tanàna izy ka tsy mbola lasan-davitra, dia hoy Josefa tamin’ ny mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony: Andeha araho ireny lehilahy ireny; ary rehefa tratrao izy, dia ataovy aminy hoe: Nahoana ianareo namaly ratsy ny soa?
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.”
Tsy iny va no fisotroan’ ny tompoko sy famantarany zavatra? ratsy izao nataonareo izao.
6 And he overtakes them, and speaks to them these words,
Dia nahatratra azy ralehilahy ka nilaza izany teny izany taminy.
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;
Ary hoy izy ireo taminy: Nahoana itompokolahy no dia miteny toy izany? Sanatria amin’ ny mpanomponao ny hanao zavatra toy izany.
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?
Indro fa ny vola izay hitanay teo am-bavan’ ny lasakanay aza naverinay indray tatỳ aminao avy tany amin’ ny tany Kanana; ka hataonay ahoana no fangalatra volafotsy na volamena ao amin’ ny tranon’ ny tomponao?
9 With whomsoever of your servants it is found, he has died, and we also are to my lord for servants.”
Izay anankiray amin’ ny mpanomponao hahitana izany, dia aoka hovonoina izy, ary izahay kosa dia ho andevon’ itompokolahy.
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”;
Dia hoy izy: Aoka ary hatao araka ny teninareo: izay hahitana izany dia ho andevoko; fa ianareo tsy hanan-tsiny.
11 and they hurry and take down each his bag to the earth, and each opens his bag;
Ary samy nampidina faingana ny lasakany tamin’ ny tany izy, ka samy nanokatra ny lasakany avy.
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;
Dia nikaroka fatratra ralehilahy, ka tamin’ ny lahimatoa no nanombohany, ary tamin’ ny faralahy no niafarany, ka tao amin’ ny lasakan’ i Benjamina no nahitana ilay kapoaka.
13 and they tear their garments, and each loads his donkey, and they return to the city.
Ary samy nandriatra ny fitafiany izy, dia nanaingina ny entany tamin’ ny borikiny avy ka niverina ho any an-tanàna.
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;
Ary Joda sy ny rahalahiny niditra tao an-tranon’ i Josefa (fa mbola tao izy), dia nidaboka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehany.
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?”
Ary hoy Josefa taminy: Ahoana izao zavatra nataonareo izao? tsy fantatrareo va fa izay lehilahy tahaka ahy dia mahay mamantatra zavatra tokoa?
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”;
Ary hoy Joda: Inona no teny hataonay amin’ itompokolahy? inona intsony no holazainay? ary hataonay ahoana no fiala tsiny? Andriamanitra efa nahita ny heloky ny mpanomponao; koa, indreto, samy ho andevon’ itompokolahy, na izahay, na ilay nahitana ny kapoaka tao aminy.
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.”
Nefa hoy Josefa: Sanatria ahy ny hanao izany! izay lehilahy nahitana ny kapoaka tao aminy ihany no ho andevoko; fa ianareo kosa dia miakara soa aman-tsara ho any amin’ ny rainareo.
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.
Dia nanatona azy Joda ka nanao hoe: Mba henoy kely aho, tompokolahy, aoka ny mpanomponao handaha-teny kely eto anatrehan’ itompokolahy, ary aoka tsy mba hirehitra amin’ ny mpanomponao ny fahatezeranao; fa tahaka an’ i Farao ianao.
19 My lord has asked his servants, saying, Do you have a father or brother?
Itompokolahy nanontany ny mpanompony hoe: Manan-dray na rahalahy koa va ianareo?
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.
Ary hoy izahay tamin’ itompokolahy: Manan-dray lahy antitra izahay sy zandry faralahy, zanaky ny fahanterany; ary maty ny rahalahiny, fa izy irery ihany no zana-dreniny sisa, ary tian’ ny rainy izy.
21 And you say to your servants, Bring him down to me, and I set my eye on him;
Ary ianao nanao tamin’ ny mpanomponao hoe: Ento mankaty amiko izy mba ho hitan’ ny masoko.
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;
Ary hoy izahay tamin’ itompokolahy: Ny zazalahy tsy mahazo misaraka amin-drainy; fa raha misaraka amin-drainy izy, dia ho faty rainy.
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.
Ary hoy ianao tamin’ ny mpanomponao: Raha tsy hiara-midìna aminareo ny zandrinareo faralahy, dia tsy hahita ny tavako intsony ianareo.
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;
Ary rehefa tafakatra tany amin’ ny mpanomponao raiko izahay, dia nambaranay azy ny tenin’ itompokolahy.
25 and our father says, Return, buy for us a little food,
Dia hoy ny rainay: Mandehana indray, mividia hanina kely ho antsika.
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.
Ary hoy izahay: Tsy sahy hidina izahay; nefa raha hiaraka aminay ny zandrinay faralahy, dia hidina ihany izahay; fa tsy mahazo mahita ny tavan-dralehilahy izahay raha tsy miaraka aminay ny zandrinay faralahy.
27 And your servant my father says to us, You have known that my wife bore two to me,
Dia hoy ny mpanomponao raiko taminay: Fantatrareo fa ny vadiko efa niteraka roa lahy tamiko;
28 and one goes out from me, and I say, Surely he is torn—torn! And I have not seen him since;
fa lasa niala tamiko ny anankiray, ka hoy izaho: Voaviraviram-biby tokoa izy; ary tsy mbola hitako mandraka ankehitriny izy;
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)
ary raha halainareo hiala eto anoloako koa ity, ka hisy loza hanjo azy koa, dia hampidininareo any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita amim-pahoriana ny volo fotsiko. (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),
Koa ankehitriny, raha tonga any amin’ ny mpanomponao raiko aho, ka tsy tafaraka aminay ny zaza (fa ny ainy mifamatotra amin’ ny ain’ ny zaza),
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)
koa raha hitany fa tsy eo ny zaza, dia ho faty izy; ary ny mpanomponao hampidina ny volo fotsin’ ny mpanomponao rainay ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita amin’ alahelo. (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.
Fa ny mpanomponao efa niantoka ny zaza tamin’ ny raiko ka nanao hoe: Raha tsy ho entiko atỳ aminao izy, dia ho meloka amin’ ny raiko amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainako aho.
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,
Koa ankehitriny, trarantitra ianao, aoka ny mpanomponao hitoetra ho andevon’ itompokolahy hisolo ny zaza; fa aoka ny zaza hiara-miakatra amin’ ny rahalahiny.
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.”
Fa hataoko ahoana no fiakatra any amin’ ny raiko, raha tsy hiaraka amiko ny zaza? fandrao hahita izay loza hanjo ny raiko aho.
