Genesis 44
1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
Ary Josefa nanome teny ny mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony ka nanao hoe: Fenoy hanina ny lasakan’ ireo lehilahy ireo, araka izay zakany ho entina, ary ataovy eo am-bavan’ ny lasakany avy ny volan’ ny isan-dahy;
2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
ary ny kapoakako, dia ilay kapoaka volafotsy, ataovy eo am-bavan’ ny lasakan’ ilay faralahy mbamin’ ny vola hamidiny vary. Dia nataony araka ny teny izay nolazain’ i Josefa.
3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
Ary raha vao nazava ny andro, dia nampandehanina ireo lehilahy ireo, dia izy sy ny borikiny.
4 [And] when they were gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
Ary rehefa tafavoaka ny tanàna izy ka tsy mbola lasan-davitra, dia hoy Josefa tamin’ ny mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony: Andeha araho ireny lehilahy ireny; ary rehefa tratrao izy, dia ataovy aminy hoe: Nahoana ianareo namaly ratsy ny soa?
5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby he indeed divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
Tsy iny va no fisotroan’ ny tompoko sy famantarany zavatra? ratsy izao nataonareo izao.
6 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these words.
Dia nahatratra azy ralehilahy ka nilaza izany teny izany taminy.
7 And they said unto him, Wherefore speaketh my lord such words as these? God forbid that thy servants should do such a thing.
Ary hoy izy ireo taminy: Nahoana itompokolahy no dia miteny toy izany? Sanatria amin’ ny mpanomponao ny hanao zavatra toy izany.
8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?
Indro fa ny vola izay hitanay teo am-bavan’ ny lasakanay aza naverinay indray tatỳ aminao avy tany amin’ ny tany Kanana; ka hataonay ahoana no fangalatra volafotsy na volamena ao amin’ ny tranon’ ny tomponao?
9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen.
Izay anankiray amin’ ny mpanomponao hahitana izany, dia aoka hovonoina izy, ary izahay kosa dia ho andevon’ itompokolahy.
10 And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my bondman; and ye shall be blameless.
Dia hoy izy: Aoka ary hatao araka ny teninareo: izay hahitana izany dia ho andevoko; fa ianareo tsy hanan-tsiny.
11 Then they hasted, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
Ary samy nampidina faingana ny lasakany tamin’ ny tany izy, ka samy nanokatra ny lasakany avy.
12 And he searched, [and] began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
Dia nikaroka fatratra ralehilahy, ka tamin’ ny lahimatoa no nanombohany, ary tamin’ ny faralahy no niafarany, ka tao amin’ ny lasakan’ i Benjamina no nahitana ilay kapoaka.
13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
Ary samy nandriatra ny fitafiany izy, dia nanaingina ny entany tamin’ ny borikiny avy ka niverina ho any an-tanàna.
14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; and he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
Ary Joda sy ny rahalahiny niditra tao an-tranon’ i Josefa (fa mbola tao izy), dia nidaboka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehany.
15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? know ye not that such a man as I can indeed divine?
Ary hoy Josefa taminy: Ahoana izao zavatra nataonareo izao? tsy fantatrareo va fa izay lehilahy tahaka ahy dia mahay mamantatra zavatra tokoa?
16 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord’s bondmen, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.
Ary hoy Joda: Inona no teny hataonay amin’ itompokolahy? inona intsony no holazainay? ary hataonay ahoana no fiala tsiny? Andriamanitra efa nahita ny heloky ny mpanomponao; koa, indreto, samy ho andevon’ itompokolahy, na izahay, na ilay nahitana ny kapoaka tao aminy.
17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
Nefa hoy Josefa: Sanatria ahy ny hanao izany! izay lehilahy nahitana ny kapoaka tao aminy ihany no ho andevoko; fa ianareo kosa dia miakara soa aman-tsara ho any amin’ ny rainareo.
18 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
Dia nanatona azy Joda ka nanao hoe: Mba henoy kely aho, tompokolahy, aoka ny mpanomponao handaha-teny kely eto anatrehan’ itompokolahy, ary aoka tsy mba hirehitra amin’ ny mpanomponao ny fahatezeranao; fa tahaka an’ i Farao ianao.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
Itompokolahy nanontany ny mpanompony hoe: Manan-dray na rahalahy koa va ianareo?
20 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
Ary hoy izahay tamin’ itompokolahy: Manan-dray lahy antitra izahay sy zandry faralahy, zanaky ny fahanterany; ary maty ny rahalahiny, fa izy irery ihany no zana-dreniny sisa, ary tian’ ny rainy izy.
21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
Ary ianao nanao tamin’ ny mpanomponao hoe: Ento mankaty amiko izy mba ho hitan’ ny masoko.
22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
Ary hoy izahay tamin’ itompokolahy: Ny zazalahy tsy mahazo misaraka amin-drainy; fa raha misaraka amin-drainy izy, dia ho faty rainy.
23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
Ary hoy ianao tamin’ ny mpanomponao: Raha tsy hiara-midìna aminareo ny zandrinareo faralahy, dia tsy hahita ny tavako intsony ianareo.
24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Ary rehefa tafakatra tany amin’ ny mpanomponao raiko izahay, dia nambaranay azy ny tenin’ itompokolahy.
25 And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food.
Dia hoy ny rainay: Mandehana indray, mividia hanina kely ho antsika.
26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother be with us.
Ary hoy izahay: Tsy sahy hidina izahay; nefa raha hiaraka aminay ny zandrinay faralahy, dia hidina ihany izahay; fa tsy mahazo mahita ny tavan-dralehilahy izahay raha tsy miaraka aminay ny zandrinay faralahy.
27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
Dia hoy ny mpanomponao raiko taminay: Fantatrareo fa ny vadiko efa niteraka roa lahy tamiko;
28 and the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him since:
fa lasa niala tamiko ny anankiray, ka hoy izaho: Voaviraviram-biby tokoa izy; ary tsy mbola hitako mandraka ankehitriny izy;
29 and if ye take this one also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
ary raha halainareo hiala eto anoloako koa ity, ka hisy loza hanjo azy koa, dia hampidininareo any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita amim-pahoriana ny volo fotsiko. (Sheol h7585)
30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;
Koa ankehitriny, raha tonga any amin’ ny mpanomponao raiko aho, ka tsy tafaraka aminay ny zaza (fa ny ainy mifamatotra amin’ ny ain’ ny zaza),
31 it shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not [with us], that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
koa raha hitany fa tsy eo ny zaza, dia ho faty izy; ary ny mpanomponao hampidina ny volo fotsin’ ny mpanomponao rainay ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita amin’ alahelo. (Sheol h7585)
32 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I bear the blame to my father for ever.
Fa ny mpanomponao efa niantoka ny zaza tamin’ ny raiko ka nanao hoe: Raha tsy ho entiko atỳ aminao izy, dia ho meloka amin’ ny raiko amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainako aho.
33 Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
Koa ankehitriny, trarantitra ianao, aoka ny mpanomponao hitoetra ho andevon’ itompokolahy hisolo ny zaza; fa aoka ny zaza hiara-miakatra amin’ ny rahalahiny.
34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest I see the evil that shall come on my father.
Fa hataoko ahoana no fiakatra any amin’ ny raiko, raha tsy hiaraka amiko ny zaza? fandrao hahita izay loza hanjo ny raiko aho.
