Genesis 44
1 Then he instructed the manager of his house, saying, "Fill the men's sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each man's silver in the mouth of his sack.
Nígbà náà ni Josẹfu pàṣẹ fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Di oúnjẹ kún inú àpò àwọn ọkùnrin náà tó ìwọ̀n èyí tí wọ́n le rù, kí o sì mú owó olúkúlùkù àwọn ọkùnrin náà padà sí ẹnu àpò rẹ̀.
2 Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, along with the silver for his grain." So he did according to the word that Joseph had told him.
Nígbà náà ni kí o mú kọ́ọ̀bù idẹ mi sí ẹnu àpò èyí tí ó jẹ́ àbíkẹ́yìn nínú wọn pẹ̀lú owó tí ó fi ra ọkà,” ó sì ṣe bí Josẹfu ti sọ.
3 As soon as the morning dawned, the men were sent off along with their donkeys.
Bí ilẹ̀ ti ń mọ́, wọ́n bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìrìnàjò wọn padà lọ pẹ̀lú kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ wọn.
4 When they were far from the city, Joseph said to his manager, "Up, go after the men, and when you overtake them, ask them, 'Why have you repaid evil for good?
Wọn kò tí ì rìn jìnnà sí ìlú náà tí Josẹfu fi wí fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Lépa àwọn ọkùnrin náà, nígbà tí o bá sì bá wọn, kí o wí pé, ‘Èéṣe ti ẹ fi búburú san rere?
5 Why have you stolen my silver cup? Isn't it from this that my lord drinks and by which he indeed uses for divination? You have done evil in doing this.'"
Èyí ha kọ́ ni kọ́ọ̀bù tí olúwa mi ń lò fún ohun mímu tí ó sì tún ń fi í ṣe àyẹ̀wò? Ohun tí ẹ ṣe yìí burú púpọ̀.’”
6 And he caught up with them and spoke these words to them.
Nígbà tí ó sì bá wọn, o sọ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún wọn.
7 But they said to him, "Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n dá a lóhùn pé, “Kí ló dé tí olúwa mi sọ irú nǹkan wọ̀nyí? Ká má rí i! Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kò le ṣe irú nǹkan bẹ́ẹ̀!
8 Look, the money that we found in the mouths of our sacks we brought back to you from the land of Canaan. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord's house?
A tilẹ̀ mú owó tí a rí lẹ́nu àpò wa padà tọ̀ ọ́ wá láti ilẹ̀ Kenaani. Nítorí náà èéṣe tí àwa yóò fi jí wúrà tàbí idẹ ní ilé olúwa à rẹ?
9 With whomever of your servants it is found, he must die, and we also will be my lord's slaves."
Bí a bá rí i lọ́wọ́ èyíkéyìí nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, kíkú ni yóò kú, àwọn tí ó kù yóò sì di ẹrú fún olúwa à rẹ.”
10 And he said, "Very well, then, it will be as you say. The one with whom it is found will be my slave, but you will be blameless."
Ó wí pé, “Ó dára, kí ó rí bí ẹ ti ṣe sọ. Ẹnikẹ́ni tí mo bá rí i lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ yóò di ẹrú mi. Ẹ̀yin tí ó kù yóò sì wà láìlẹ́bi.”
11 Then they hurried, and each man lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
Olúkúlùkù wọn yára sọ àpò rẹ̀ kalẹ̀, wọ́n sì tú u.
12 And he searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Nígbà náà ni ìránṣẹ́ náà bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní í wá a, bẹ̀rẹ̀ láti orí ẹ̀gbọ́n títí lọ sórí àbúrò pátápátá. Ó sì rí kọ́ọ̀bù náà nínú àpò ti Benjamini.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey and returned to the city.
Nígbà tí wọ́n rí èyí, wọ́n fa aṣọ wọn ya, wọ́n sì banújẹ́ gidigidi, wọn tún ẹrù wọn dì sórí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, wọ́n sì padà sí inú ìlú.
14 So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, and he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.
Josẹfu sì wà nínú ilé nígbà tí Juda àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ wọlé wá. Gbogbo wọn sì wólẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀.
15 And Joseph said to them, "What is this deed that you have done? Didn't you know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"
Josẹfu wí fún wọn pé, “Èwo ni èyí tí ẹ ṣe yìí? Ṣe ẹ kò mọ pé, ènìyàn bí èmi le è rí ìdí nǹkan nípa ṣíṣe àyẹ̀wò?”
16 Then Judah said, "What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? And how can we clear ourselves? God has uncovered the guilt of your servants. Look, we are my lord's slaves, both we, and the one in whose possession the cup was found."
Juda dáhùn pé, “Kí ni à bá sọ fún olúwa mi? Báwo ni a ṣe lè wẹ ara wa mọ́? Ọlọ́run ti tú àṣírí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, a ti di ẹrú olúwa à mi báyìí àwa fúnra wa àti ẹni náà tí a rí kọ́ọ̀bù lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.”
17 But he said, "Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose possession the cup was found, he will be my slave. But as for you, go up to your father in peace."
Ṣùgbọ́n Josẹfu dáhùn pé, “Ká má rí i pé mo ṣe irú nǹkan bẹ́ẹ̀! Ẹni tí a bá kọ́ọ̀bù mi lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ nìkan ni yóò di ẹrú mi, ẹ̀yin tí ó kù, ẹ máa lọ sọ́dọ̀ baba yín ní àlàáfíà.”
18 Then Judah approached him, and said, "My lord, please allow your servant to speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not become angry with your servant, for you are like Pharaoh himself.
Nígbà náà ni Juda súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ olúwa mi, jẹ́ kí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kí ó sọ ọ̀rọ̀ kan fún olúwa mi, má ṣe bínú sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ wí pé ìwọ pẹ̀lú láṣẹ bí i ti Farao.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, 'Do you have a father or a brother?'
Olúwa mi béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ǹjẹ́ ó ní baba tàbí arákùnrin?’
20 And we said to my lord, 'We have a father, an old man, and a child born when he was old, a little one, and his brother is dead, and he is his mother's only child, and his father loves him.'
Àwa sì wí fún olúwa mi pé, ‘A ni baba tí ó ti darúgbó, ọmọkùnrin kan sì wà pẹ̀lú tí a bí fún un ní ọjọ́ ogbó rẹ̀. Ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀ ti kú, òun nìkan sì ni ó kù nínú àwọn ọmọ ìyá rẹ̀, baba rẹ̀ sì fẹ́ràn án rẹ̀.’
21 Then you said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me, so that I can see him myself.'
“Nígbà náà ni ó sọ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ẹ mu un tọ̀ mí wá kí n le fojú ara mi rí i.’
22 And we said to my lord, 'The boy can't leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.'
A sì sọ fún olúwa à mi pé, ‘Ọmọkùnrin náà kò le è fi baba rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, bí ó bá dán an wò baba rẹ̀ yóò kú.’
23 But you said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.'
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ wí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ẹ má ṣe padà tọ̀ mí wá àyàfi bí àbíkẹ́yìn yín bá bá yín wá.’
24 And it happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Nígbà tí a padà lọ sọ́dọ̀ baba wa, tí í ṣe ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, a sọ ohun tí olúwa à mi wí fún un.
25 But our father said, 'Go again, buy us a little food.'
“Nígbà náà ni baba wa wí pé, ‘Ẹ padà lọ láti lọ ra oúnjẹ díẹ̀ wá.’
26 We said, 'We can't go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down, for we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.'
Ṣùgbọ́n a wí pe, ‘Àwa kò le è padà lọ, àyàfi bí àbúrò wa pátápátá yóò bá bá wa lọ. A kò le è rí ojú ọkùnrin náà àyàfi tí àbúrò wa bá lọ pẹ̀lú wa.’
27 Then your servant my father said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons.
“Baba mi, ìránṣẹ́ rẹ wí fún wa pé, ‘Ẹ mọ̀ pé ìyàwó mi bí ọmọkùnrin méjì fún mi.
28 And the one disappeared from me, and I said, "Surely he is torn in pieces." And I haven't seen him since.
Ọ̀kan nínú wọn lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, mo sì wí pé, “Dájúdájú a ti fà á ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ.” N kò sì tí ì ri láti ọjọ́ náà.
29 If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Tí ẹ bá tún mú èyí lọ, kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, tí ohunkóhun bá ṣe é, ìbànújẹ́ ni ẹ ó fi mú ewú orí mi lọ sí ipò òkú.’ (Sheol h7585)
30 So now, when I come to your servant my father and the boy is not with us, since his life is bound up in the boy's life,
“Nítorí náà, bí a bá padà tọ baba wa lọ láìsí ọmọ náà pẹ̀lú wa nígbà tí a mọ̀ pé, ọmọ náà ni ẹ̀mí baba wa.
31 it will happen, when he sees that the boy is not with us, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Tí ó bá ri pé ọmọkùnrin náà kò wá pẹ̀lú wa, yóò kùú. Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò wá mú baba wa tòun ti ewú orí lọ sí ipò òkú ní ìbànújẹ́. (Sheol h7585)
32 For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, 'If I do not bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.'
Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ló ṣe onídùúró fún ààbò ọmọ náà lọ́dọ̀ baba mi. Mo wí pé, ‘Bí n kò bá mú un padà tọ̀ ọ́ wá, baba mi, èmi ó ru ẹ̀bi rẹ̀ ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé mi!’
33 So now, please let your servant remain instead of the boy, a slave to my lord, and let the boy go up with his brothers.
“Nítorí náà, jẹ́ kí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kí ó dúró ní ìhín lọ́dọ̀ olúwa à mi bí ẹrú dípò ọmọ náà. Kí ọmọ náà bá àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ padà.
34 For how will I go up to my father if the boy isn't with me? I could not bear to see the misery that would come on my father."
Báwo ni mo ṣe lè padà tọ baba mi lọ láì bá ṣe pé ọmọ náà wà pẹ̀lú mi? Rárá, èmi kò fẹ́ kí n rí ìbànújẹ́ tí yóò dé bá baba mi.”
