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.
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 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.
le apoho amy goni’ i Beniamine ao i fitoviko volafotiy rekets’ ty drala’ i tsako’ey. Aa le nanoe’e i sinaontsi’ Iosefey.
3 As soon as the morning dawned, the men were sent off along with their donkeys.
Ie nazava amy loak’ àndroy le nampionjonem-b’eo i lahilahy rey rekets’ o borìke’eo.
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?
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 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.'"
Tsy atoy hao ty finoma’ i talèkoy, toe i fisikilia’ey? Ie nanao hakelohañe amy nanoe’areoy.
6 And he caught up with them and spoke these words to them.
Ie nitra’e iereo, le tinaro’e am’iereo i entañe zay.
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.
Le vinale’ iareo ty hoe: Ino ty isaontsian-talèko o entañe zao? Tsy marine’ o mpitoro’oo ty manao i tsaraeñey.
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?
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 whomever of your servants it is found, he must die, and we also will be my lord's slaves."
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 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."
Hoe re, Ie izay, amy fivola’ areoy, fe ze anjoàñe i rahay ro hondevoko vaho hidada nahareo.
11 Then they hurried, and each man lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
Aa le nalisa iareo songa nanjotso ty goni’e an-tane, vaho sindre nanokake i goni’ey.
12 And he searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Kinodebe’e, nifototse aman-joke’e pak’an-tsitso’e; le nioniñe an-goni’ i Beniamine ao i fitoviy.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey and returned to the city.
Songa nandria-tsaroñe amy zao, sambe nampijiny ty borìke’e indraike vaho nimpoly mb’an-drova mb’eo.
14 So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, and he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.
Pok’ añ’anjomba’ Iosefe t’Iehodà naho o rahalahi’eo ie mbe tao, le nibaboke an-tane añatrefa’e.
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?"
Hoe t’Iosefe am’iereo, Ino o nanoe’ areo zao? Amoea’ areo te toe mpisikily ondaty manahak’ ahikoo?
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."
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 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."
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 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.
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 asked his servants, saying, 'Do you have a father or a brother?'
Nañontanea’ ty talè’ay o mpitoro’eo ty hoe, Aman-drae ndra rahalahy hao nahareo?
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.'
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 Then you said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me, so that I can see him myself.'
Le nanoe’o ty hoe o mpitoro’oo, Ampizotsò mb’etoan-dre ho trea’ o masokoo.
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.'
Le hoe zahay amy talèkoy, Tsy mete mienga an-drae’e i ajalahiy, tsy mone hihomake t’i rae’e.
23 But you said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.'
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 happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Ie nimpoly aman-drae’ay mpitoro’oy añe vaho natalili’ay i saontsin-talèkoy,
25 But our father said, 'Go again, buy us a little food.'
le nanao ty hoe ty rae’ay, Mibaliha, ikalò mahakama tsy ampeampe tika.
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.'
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 Then your servant my father said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons.
Le hoe ty rae’ay mpitoro’o ama’ay, Fohi’ areo te nahatoly ana-dahy roe ho ahiko i valikoy;
28 And the one disappeared from me, and I said, "Surely he is torn in pieces." And I haven't seen him since.
nieng’ ahy ty raike, le hoe iraho, Toe nirimitem-biby, vaho tsy treako ka.
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)
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 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,
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 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)
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 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.'
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 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.
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 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."
Fa aia ty himpoliako aman-draeko añe naho tsy mindre amako i ajalahiy? Irevendreveñako ty hahatrea o haloviloviañe hifetsak’ aman-draekoo.
