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.
Pambuyo pake Yosefe analamulira wantchito wa mʼnyumba mwake kuti, “Adzazire chakudya anthuwa mʼmatumba mwawo monga mmene anganyamulire, ndipo uwayikire ndalama zawo pakamwa pa matumba awowo.
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.
Tsono uyike chikho changa cha siliva chija, pakamwa pa thumba la wamngʼono kwambiriyu pamodzi ndi ndalama zake za chakudya” Ndipo iye anachita monga Yosefe ananenera.
3 As soon as the morning dawned, the men were sent off along with their donkeys.
Mmawa kutacha anthu aja analoledwa kuti apite ndi abulu awo.
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?
Atangotuluka mu mzinda muja, koma asanapite patali, Yosefe anati kwa wantchito wake, “Nyamuka atsatire anthu aja msanga. Ndipo ukawapeza, uwafunse kuti, ‘Bwanji mwabwezera zoyipa ndi zabwino?
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.'"
Mwaberanji chikho chimene mbuye wanga amamweramo ndi kugwiritsa ntchito akafuna kuwombeza? Chimene mwachitachi ndi chinthu choyipa.’”
6 And he caught up with them and spoke these words to them.
Wantchito uja atawapeza ananena mawu anawuzidwa aja.
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.
Koma iwo anati kwa iye, “Kodi mbuye wanga mukuneneranji zimenezi? Sizingatheke ndi pangʼono pomwe kuti antchito anufe nʼkuchita zoterozo ayi!
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?
Paja ife pobwera kuchokera ku Kanaani tinatenga ndalama kubwezera zimene tinazipeza mʼmatumba mwathu. Ndiye pali chifukwa chanji kuti tikabe siliva kapena golide mʼnyumba mwa mbuye wanu?
9 With whomever of your servants it is found, he must die, and we also will be my lord's slaves."
Ngati wantchito wanu wina pano atapezeka nacho chikhocho, ameneyo aphedwe ndipo ena tonsefe tidzakhala akapolo anu, mbuye wathu.”
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."
Iye anati, “Chabwino, tsono zikhale monga mwaneneramu. Komatu aliyense amene angapezeke nacho chikhocho adzakhala kapolo wanga, ndipo ena nonsenu muzipita mwaufulu.”
11 Then they hurried, and each man lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
Tsono onse anafulumira kutsitsa pansi aliyense thumba lake ndi kulitsekula.
12 And he searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Kenaka anayamba kufufuza, kuyambira pa wamkulu mpaka pa wamngʼono. Ndipo chikhocho chinapezeka mʼthumba mwa Benjamini.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey and returned to the city.
Apo onse anangʼamba zovala zawo ndi chisoni. Ndipo anasenzetsa abulu katundu wawo nabwerera ku mzinda konkuja.
14 So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, and he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.
Pamene Yuda ndi abale ake ankafika ku nyumba kwa Yosefe nʼkuti Yosefe akanali komweko. Ndipo anadzigwetsa pansi pamaso pake.
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?"
Yosefe anafunsa kuti, “Nʼchiyani mwachitachi? Kodi simudziwa kuti munthu ngati ine ndikhoza kuona zinthu mwakuwombeza?”
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."
Yuda anayankha, “Kodi tinganenenji kwa mbuye wanga? Tinena chiyani? Tingadzilungamitse bwanji? Mulungu waulula kulakwa kwa antchito anu. Ndipo tsopano ndife akapolo a mbuye wanga, ife tonse pamodzi ndi amene wapezeka ndi chikhocho.”
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."
Koma Yosefe anati, “Sindingachite choncho ayi! Yekhayo amene wapezeka ndi chikhocho ndi amene akhale kapolo wanga. Ena nonsenu, bwererani kwa abambo anu mu mtendere.”
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.
Ndipo Yuda anamuyandikira iye nati, “Chonde mbuye wanga mulole kapolo wanune ndinene mawu pangʼono kwa mbuye wanga. Musandipsere mtima, kapolo wanune, popeza inu muli ngati Farao yemwe.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, 'Do you have a father or a brother?'
Mbuye wanga munafunsa akapolo anufe kuti, ‘Kodi muli ndi abambo anu kapena mʼbale wanu?’
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.'
Ndipo ife tinayankha, ‘Inde mbuye wathu, ife tili ndi abambo athu wokalamba, ndipo pali mwana wamwamuna wamngʼono amene anabadwa abambo athu atakalamba kale. Mʼbale wake anafa ndipo ndi yekhayo mʼmimba mwa amayi ake amene watsala ndipo abambo ake amamukonda.’
21 Then you said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me, so that I can see him myself.'
“Ndipo inu munatiwuza kuti, ‘Mubwere naye kwa ine kuti ndidzamuone ndekha.’
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.'
Ife tinati, ‘Mbuye wathu, mnyamatayo sangasiye abambo ake, akawasiya ndiye kuti abambo akewo adzafa.’
23 But you said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.'
Koma inu munatichenjeza kuti, ‘Pokhapokha mutabwera naye mʼbale wanu wamngʼono kwambiri, simudzandionanso.’
24 And it happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Ndiye pamene tinafika kwa kapolo wanu, abambo athu tinawawuza zonse zimene munanena.
25 But our father said, 'Go again, buy us a little food.'
“Abambo athu anatiwuza kuti, ‘Pitaninso mukagule kachakudya pangʼono.’
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.'
Koma tinati, ‘Sitingathe kupitanso. Sitingapite pokhapokha mngʼono wathuyu apite nafe chifukwa munthu uja anati sitingaonane naye ngati mngʼono wathuyu sakhala nafe.’
27 Then your servant my father said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons.
“Koma kapolo wanu, abambo athu anatiwuza kuti, ‘Inu mukudziwa kuti mkazi wanga anandiberekera ana aamuna awiri.
28 And the one disappeared from me, and I said, "Surely he is torn in pieces." And I haven't seen him since.
Mmodzi wa iwo anandisiya. Ine ndimati anadyedwa ndi chirombo popeza sindinamuonenso mpaka lero.
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)
Tsopano mukanditengeranso uyu, nakaphedwa mu njira ndiye kuti mudzandikankhira ku manda ndi chisoni.’ (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,
“Tsono ngati tizibwerera kwa mtumiki wanu, abambo athu popanda mnyamatayu, amene moyo wa abambo ake uli pa iyeyu,
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)
ndipo akakaona kuti mnyamatayu palibe, basi akafa. Ife tidzakhala ngati takankhira abambo athu ku manda ndi chisoni. (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.'
Ndiponsotu ine ndinadzipereka kwa abambo anga kukhala chikole chotsimikiza kuti mnyamatayu ndidzamuteteza, ndipo ndinati, ‘Ngati sindibwerera naye mnyamatayu kwa inu, ndiye kuti ndidzakhala wochimwira inu abambo anga moyo wanga wonse.’
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.
“Tsono, chonde mulole kuti ine kapolo wanu nditsalire kuno kukhala kapolo wa mbuye wathu mʼmalo mwa mnyamatayu. Koma iye apite pamodzi ndi abale akewa.
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."
Ndingabwerere bwanji kwa abambo anga ngati sindingapite ndi mnyamatayu? Ayi! Sindifuna kukaona tsoka limene lingakagwere abambo anga.”
