< 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;
Ara raa basa ma, Yusuf naꞌauꞌutuꞌ malangga mana tao ues na nae, “We! Muu ombo are neu atahori ia ra karon nara losa sofe se. Ma tao baliꞌ doi nara nisiꞌ esa-esaꞌ karon na rala.
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.
Boe ma haꞌi mala au mok lilo fula ngga, fo tao nisiꞌ ana muriꞌ a karon na.” De ana neu tao tungga Yusuf parenda na.
3 The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their donkeys—
Mbila fefetu ana na, Yusuf mboꞌi se lao baliꞌ rendi nanaat no keledei nara.
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?
Ara nda feꞌe raꞌadooꞌ kamboꞌ sa ma, Yusuf nafadꞌe malangga mana tao ues na nae, “Muu tungga atahori naa ra lai-lai. Mete ma hambu se, naa, mufadꞌe maꞌo ia: ‘Taꞌo bee de rala mara deꞌulakaꞌ mbali toulasiꞌ a? Losa hei balas malole na mo deꞌulakaꞌ taꞌo ia.
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.”
Taꞌo bee de loi mendi malangga mok lilo fula na? Hei nda bubꞌuluꞌ sa, do? Naa nda akaꞌ a mok nininuꞌ sa. Ana o sangga atahori uanale nara nendiꞌ mok naa. Naa mok mahineꞌ! Hei tatao mara ia, deꞌulaka na seli ma!’”
6 And he overtakes them, and speaks to them these words,
Basa de, malangga mana tao ues neu tungga de hambu se. Ana nafadꞌe se, tungga Yusuf oꞌola na.
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;
Ara rataa rae, “Amaꞌ masud na taꞌo bee ia? Hai sumba. Hai nda tao deꞌulakaꞌ taꞌo naa sa.
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?
Amaꞌ bubꞌuluꞌ, to? Doi-doiꞌ mana mia karon rala faiꞌ naa, hai fee baliꞌ neu amaꞌ, to? De taꞌo bee de hai loi malangga lilo fula na mia umen fai. Hokoꞌ o!
9 With whomsoever of your servants it is found, he has died, and we also are to my lord for servants.”
Amaꞌ paresaꞌ neuꞌ ena. Hambu sia seka karon na, naa hukun misa e leo. Ma hai ruma dadꞌi ate ma.”
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”;
Malangga mana tao ues a nae, “Hokoꞌ! Taꞌo ia. Mete ma hambu mok sia seka, naa, ana dadꞌi au ate ngga. Ruma baliꞌ.”
11 and they hurry and take down each his bag to the earth, and each opens his bag;
Boe ma ara raꞌondaꞌ karon naa ra lai-lai, de sefi se.
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;
Malangga mana tao ues a paresaꞌ lutu-leloꞌ karon naa ra esa-esaꞌ, mia aꞌa ka karon na, losa odꞌiꞌ a ena na. De ana hambu mok lilo fulaꞌ mia Benyamin karon na.
13 and they tear their garments, and each loads his donkey, and they return to the city.
Boe ma Benyamin aꞌa nara rala nara rambalulutu. De ara fua baliꞌ karon naa ra keledei ata reu, ma baliꞌ kambo reu.
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;
Losa Yusuf ume na boe, ana feꞌe sia naa. De ara sendeꞌ lululangga nara neu mata na.
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?”
Yusuf bua se nae, “He! Taꞌo bee de hei tao onaꞌ ia neu au. Hei nda mihine mae atahori monaen onaꞌ au ia, sangga atahori rahasia na endiꞌ mahineꞌ naa sa, do?”
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”;
Yahuda nataa nae, “Awi! Lamatualain natudꞌu hai sala mara ena. Hai mae saa fai, amaꞌ? Hai mae misilaꞌe ao ma, onaꞌ bee fai. Mete ma amaꞌ nae hela hai odꞌi muri ma ia, naa, malole lenaꞌ amaꞌ hela basa hai. Haꞌi mala basa hai dadꞌi ate ma.”
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.”
Yusuf nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ! Hambu mok a sia seka e, na eni mana dadꞌi au ate ngga. Hei ruma, nenemboꞌit. Baliꞌ misiꞌ ama ma leo!”
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.
Yahuda neu deka-deka no Yusuf, de olaꞌ nae, “Ama fetor! Au bubꞌuluꞌ amaꞌ koasa na onaꞌ maneꞌ a boe. Huu naa, de afiꞌ mumunasa au dei. Au oꞌe ola-olaꞌ mbei o amaꞌ.
19 My lord has asked his servants, saying, Do you have a father or brother?
Maꞌahulu na amaꞌ natane hai mae, ‘Hai ama ma no odꞌi ma esa feꞌe sia, do?’
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.
Hai mitaa mae, ‘Hai ama ma lasiꞌ ena. Boe ma odꞌi muri ma, esa. Leleꞌ bꞌonggi e, hai ama ma lasiꞌ ena. Aꞌa bꞌonggi na esaꞌ a, te ana nese ena. Ruꞌa se ina na mate ena. De ia naa, helaꞌ a mesaꞌ ne. Naa de, hai ama ma sue nala e seli.’
21 And you say to your servants, Bring him down to me, and I set my eye on him;
Basa de, amaꞌ denu hai mo e, fo mita e.
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;
Te hai mitaa mae, anaꞌ naa nda lao hela ama na sa. Mete ma ana lao hela e, naa, hai ama ma mate, neuꞌ ena.
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.
Boe ma amaꞌ nataa nae, ‘Mete ma hei nda mendi odꞌi ma sa, naa, hei nda bisa mita mata ngga sa ena.’
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;
Basa de hai baliꞌ. Mifadꞌe basa amaꞌ oꞌola na neu hai ama ma.
25 and our father says, Return, buy for us a little food,
Dꞌoo-dꞌoo ma, hai nanaa mara basa boe. De hai ama ma denu ima hasa seluꞌ nanaat fai.
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.
Hai mitaa seluꞌ mae, ‘Amaꞌ e! Hai nda mi sia naa sa. Te fetor a, nafadꞌe ena, mete ma hai nda mo odꞌi muriꞌ a sa, naa, hai sudꞌi mindaa mo e. Dadꞌi hai odꞌi muri ma musi tungga, dei fo hai feꞌe lao naa.’
27 And your servant my father says to us, You have known that my wife bore two to me,
Hai ama ma olaꞌ fai nae, ‘Hei bubꞌuluꞌ, to? Au sao ngga Rahel, ana na akaꞌ ruaꞌ a.
28 and one goes out from me, and I say, Surely he is torn—torn! And I have not seen him since;
Ana uluꞌ a nese ena. Banda fui ra raa hendi ena. Naa de, losa faiꞌ ia au nda undaa o e sa.
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)
Mete ma hei haꞌi mala ana muriꞌ ia mia au fai, boe ma ana taꞌo esa naa, hei boe tao miꞌisususaꞌ au lasiꞌ ia, de au mate neuꞌ ena.’ (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),
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)
De onaꞌ naa, ama fetor. Mete ma au baliꞌ isiꞌ ama ngga, nda o baliꞌ odꞌi muriꞌ ia sa, naa, hai ama ma mate neuꞌ ena, huu rala na esa no anaꞌ naa. Ana namalasi seli ena, naa de mete ma hai boe tao miꞌisususaꞌ e, naa, ana mate neuꞌ ena. (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.
Boe ma au o helu ama ngga, au mana o baliꞌ anaꞌ naa. Au helu ae, mete ma nda o baliꞌ anaꞌ ia sa, naa au tanggon salaꞌ losa mate.
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,
Dadꞌi au oꞌe taꞌo ia, amaꞌ: Au leo uhatiꞌ a ia nggati e, fo dadꞌi amaꞌ ate na. Hela e baliꞌ no aꞌa nara.
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.”
Mete ma anaꞌ naa nda tungga sa, naa, au o nda baliꞌ saa boe. Au nda nau ita ama ngga doidꞌoso losa mate sa.”
