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;
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 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.
le apoho amy goni’ i Beniamine ao i fitoviko volafotiy rekets’ ty drala’ i tsako’ey. Aa le nanoe’e i sinaontsi’ Iosefey.
3 The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their donkeys—
Ie nazava amy loak’ àndroy le nampionjonem-b’eo i lahilahy rey rekets’ o borìke’eo.
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?
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 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 atoy hao ty finoma’ i talèkoy, toe i fisikilia’ey? Ie nanao hakelohañe amy nanoe’areoy.
6 And he overtakes them, and speaks to them these words,
Ie nitra’e iereo, le tinaro’e am’iereo i entañe zay.
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;
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 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?
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 is found, he has died, and we also are to my lord for servants.”
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 says, “Now also, according to your words, so it [is]; he with whom it is found becomes my servant, and you are acquitted”;
Hoe re, Ie izay, amy fivola’ areoy, fe ze anjoàñe i rahay ro hondevoko vaho hidada nahareo.
11 and they hurry and take down each his bag to the earth, and each opens his bag;
Aa le nalisa iareo songa nanjotso ty goni’e an-tane, vaho sindre nanokake i goni’ey.
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;
Kinodebe’e, nifototse aman-joke’e pak’an-tsitso’e; le nioniñe an-goni’ i Beniamine ao i fitoviy.
13 and they tear their garments, and each loads his donkey, and they return 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 come to the house of Joseph, and he is yet there, and they fall to the earth before him;
Pok’ añ’anjomba’ Iosefe t’Iehodà naho o rahalahi’eo ie mbe tao, le nibaboke an-tane añatrefa’e.
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?”
Hoe t’Iosefe am’iereo, Ino o nanoe’ areo zao? Amoea’ areo te toe mpisikily ondaty manahak’ ahikoo?
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”;
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 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.”
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 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.
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 has asked his servants, saying, Do you have a father or brother?
Nañontanea’ ty talè’ay o mpitoro’eo ty hoe, Aman-drae ndra rahalahy hao nahareo?
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.
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 say to your servants, Bring him down to me, and I set my eye on him;
Le nanoe’o ty hoe o mpitoro’oo, Ampizotsò mb’etoan-dre ho trea’ o masokoo.
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;
Le hoe zahay amy talèkoy, Tsy mete mienga an-drae’e i ajalahiy, tsy mone hihomake t’i rae’e.
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.
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 comes to pass, that we have come up to your servant my father, that we declare to him the words of my lord;
Ie nimpoly aman-drae’ay mpitoro’oy añe vaho natalili’ay i saontsin-talèkoy,
25 and our father says, Return, buy for us a little food,
le nanao ty hoe ty rae’ay, Mibaliha, ikalò mahakama tsy ampeampe tika.
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.
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 says to us, You have known that my wife bore two to me,
Le hoe ty rae’ay mpitoro’o ama’ay, Fohi’ areo te nahatoly ana-dahy roe ho ahiko i valikoy;
28 and one goes out from me, and I say, Surely he is torn—torn! And I have not seen him since;
nieng’ ahy ty raike, le hoe iraho, Toe nirimitem-biby, vaho tsy treako ka.
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)
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 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),
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 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)
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 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 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 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,
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 do I go up to my father, and the youth not with me? Lest I look on the evil which finds my father.”
Fa aia ty himpoliako aman-draeko añe naho tsy mindre amako i ajalahiy? Irevendreveñako ty hahatrea o haloviloviañe hifetsak’ aman-draekoo.
