Genesis 44

1 Then commanded he him who was over his house saying—Fill the sacks of the men, with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s silver in the mouth of his sack;

Inatasan ni Jose ang katiwala ng kanyang bahay, sinabing, “Punuin mo ang sako ng mga lalaki ng pagkain, hangga't sa makakaya nilang buhatin, at ilagay ang bawat pera ng lalaki sa ibabaw ng kanyang sako.

2 and my cup—the cup of silver, shalt thou put in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, with his corn-silver. So he did, according to the word of Joseph, which he had spoken.

Ilagay ang aking baso, ang pilak na baso, sa ibabaw ng sako ng bunso, at ganoon din ang kanyang pera para sa butil.” Ginawa ng katiwala ang sinabi ni Jose.

3 By the time, the morning, was light, the men, had been sent away, they, and their asses.

Nang nagbubukang-liwayway na, at ang mga lalaki ay pinaalis na, sila at ang kanilang mga asno.

4 They themselves, had gone out of the city—they had not gone far, when Joseph said to him who was over his house, Rise chase after the men, —so shalt thou overtake them and shalt say unto them, Wherefore have ye requited evil for good?

Nang sila ay nakalabas sa lungsod subalit hindi pa nakakalayo, sinabi ni Jose sa kanyang katiwala, “Tumayo ka, sundan mo ang mga lalaki, at kung maabutan mo sila, sabihin mo sa kanila, 'Bakit ninyo sinuklian ng kasamaan ang kabutihan?

5 Is not this that in which my lord drinketh, and whereby, he himself, doth divine? Ye have done evil in what ye have done.

Hindi ba ito ang baso mula sa iniinuman ng aking amo, at ang baso na ginagamit niya para sa kanyang panghuhula? Gumawa kayo ng masama, ang bagay na ito na inyong ginawa.”'

6 So he overtook them, —and spake unto them these words.

Naabutan sila ng katiwala at sinabi ang mga salitang ito sa kanila.

7 And they said unto him, Wherefore should my lord speak such words as these? Far be thy servants, from doing such a thing as this!

Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Bakit po sinasabi ng aking amo ang ganitong mga salita? Malayong gawin ng inyong mga lingkod ang bagay na iyan.

8 Lo! the silver that we found in the mouth of our sacks, we brought back unto thee out of the land of Canaan, —how then could we steal out of the house of thy lord, silver or gold?

Tingnan ninyo, ang pera na nakita sa aming mga sako, ay muli naming dinala sa inyo sa labas ng lupain ng Canaan. Paano naman namin nanakawin mula sa tahanan ng inyong amo ang pilak o ginto?

9 With whomsoever of thy servants it can be found, he shall die, —and, we also, will become my lord’s servants.

Kung sinuman sa inyong lingkod ang makitaan, hayaan mo siyang mamatay, at kami rin ay magiging mga alipin ng aming amo.”

10 And he said, Yea, now, according to your words, so, let it be, —he with whom it is found, shall be my servant, Ye, however, shall be clear.

Sinabi ng katiwala, “Ngayon rin hayaang magkaganoon ayon sa iyong mga salita. Siya na mahanapan ng baso ay magiging alipin ko, at ang iyong mga kapatid ay mapapawalangsala.”

11 So they hastened and took down each man his sack to the ground, —and opened each man his sack.

At nagmamadali ang bawat lalaki at dinala ang kanilang sako pababa sa lupa, at binuksan ng bawat lalaki ang kanilang mga sako.

12 Then made he thorough search, with the eldest, he began, and with the youngest, he ended, —and the cup was found in the sack of Benjamin!

Naghanap ang katiwala. Nagsimula siya sa pinaka-panganay at natapos sa bunso, at nahanap ang baso sa sako ni Benjamin.

13 And they rent their mantles, —and laded each man his ass, and returned to the city.

Pagkatapos pinunit nila ang kanilang mga damit. Nilagay ng bawat lalaki ang kanilang asno at bumalik sa lungsod.

14 And Judah and his brethren came into the house of Joseph, he, yet being there, —and fell down before him to the earth.

Si Juda at ang kanyang mga kapatid ay pumunta sa tahanan ni Jose. Siya ay nanatili pa roon, at sila'y yumuko sa lupa sa harapan nito.

15 And Joseph said to them, What is this deed which ye have done? Know ye not that such a man as I, can even divine?

Sinabi ni Jose sa kanila, “Ano itong ginagawa ninyo? Hindi ba ninyo alam na ang lalaking tulad ko ay bihasa sa panghuhula?”

16 Then said Judah—What shall we say to my lord, how shall we speak and how shall we justify ourselves, —when, God himself, hath found out the iniquity of thy servants? Behold us! my lord’s servants, both we, and he in whose hand the cup hath been found.

Sinabi ni Juda, “Ano ang maari naming sabihin sa inyo aming amo? O kaya, paano namin maipagtatanggol ang aming sarili? Nalaman ng Diyos ang kasalanan ng iyong mga lingkod. Tingnan ninyo, kami ay alipin na ng aming amo, kami at siyang nahanapan ng baso.”

17 And he said, Far be it from me to do this thing! The man in whose hand the cup hath been found, he, shall be my servant, but as for you, go ye up in peace unto your father.

Sinabi ni Jose, “Malayong gawin ko iyan. Ang lalaking nahanapan ng baso sa kanyang kamay, ang lalaking iyon rin ang magiging alipin ko, subalit ang mga iba ay makakauwi na ng mapayapa sa inyong ama.”

18 Then Judah drew near unto him, and said—Pardon my lord! Pray let thy servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not let thine anger be kindled against thy servant, —for, thus, art, thou as Pharaoh!

Pagkatapos lumapit si Juda sa kanya at sinabing, “Aking amo pakiusap, pahintulutan po ninyo akong makapagsalita sa pandinig ng aking amo, at huwag hayaang umapoy sa galit laban sa iyong alipin, sapagkat katulad ka ni Paraon.

19 It was, my lord, who asked his servants, saying, —Have ye a father, or a brother?

Ang aking amo ay nagtanong sa kanyang mga lingkod, sinasabing, 'Mayroon pa ba kayong ama o kapatid?

20 So we said unto my lord, We have an aged father, and the child of his old age a youth, —his brother, being dead, he alone, is left of his mother and, his father, loveth him.

At sinabi namin sa aming amo, 'Mayroon kaming matandang ama, at anak niya sa kanyang katandaan, isang bunso. At patay na ang kanyang kuya, at siya ay nag-iisa na lamang na naiwan mula sa kanyang ina, at mahal na mahal siya ng kanyang ama.'

21 So then thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, —that I may set mine eyes upon him.

At sinabi mo sa iyong mga lingkod, 'Dalhin ninyo siya rito sa akin para makita ko siya.'

22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father, —as surely as he leaveth his father, so surely will he, die.

At sinabi namin sa aming amo, 'Hindi kayang iwan ng bata ang kanyang ama. Sapagkat kung iiwan niya ang kaniyang ama ikamamatay ito ng kanyang ama.'

23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother do come down with you, ye shall not again behold my face.

At sinabi mo sa iyong mga lingkod, 'Kung hindi ninyo kasama pababa ang bunso ninyong kapatid, hindi na ninyo muli makikita ang aking mukha.'

24 So it came to pass when we had gone up unto thy servant, my father, that we told him the words of my lord.

At nangyari nga nang kami ay nakabalik sa aking ama na iyong mga lingkod, isinalaysay namin sa kanya ang mga salita ng aming amo.

25 Then said our father, —Go again buy us a little food,

At sinabi ng aming ama, 'Umalis kayo muli, bumili kayo ng ilang makakain.'

26 And we said, We cannot go down, —If our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down, for we cannot see the face of the man if, our youngest brother, is not with us.

At sinabi namin, 'Hindi na kami makabababa. Kung kasama namin ang aming nakababatang kapatid, kami ay makakaalis pababa, sapagkat hindi na kami hahayaan na makita pa muli ang mukha ng lalaki kung hindi namin kasama ang bunso naming kapatid.'

27 Then said thy servant my father, unto us, —Ye yourselves, know, that, two, did my wife bear to me,

Sinabi ng aking ama na iyong lingkod, 'Alam ninyong dalawa lamang ang ipinanganak ng aking asawa.

28 and the one went forth from me, and I said—Certainly he hath been, torn in pieces, —And I have never seen him since.

At ang isa ay nawala mula sa akin at sinabi ko. “Talaga ngang siya ay nagkapira-piraso, at hindi ko na siya nakita mula noon.”

29 As surely as ye take, this one also, away from before my face and there befall him any mischief, so surely shall ye bring down my grey hairs, with misfortune to hades. (Sheol h7585)

At kung kukunin rin ninyo itong isa sa akin at muling mapahamak, dadalhin ninyo ako sa katandaan na puno ng dalamhati sa kamatayan.' (Sheol h7585)

30 Now, therefore, as surely as I go in unto thy servant my father, and, the lad, is not with us, —seeing that his soul is bound up with the lad’s soul,

Kaya ngayon, kung pupunta ako sa aking ama na inyong alipin, at hindi ko kasama ang bata, sapagkat ang kanyang buhay ay karugtong na ng buhay ng batang lalaki,

31 so surely shall it come to pass that when he seeth that the lad is not with us, then will he die. So shall thy servants bring down the grey hairs of thy servant our father, with sorrow to hades. (Sheol h7585)

kapag ito ay nangyari, na hindi niya makita na kasama namin ang bata siguradong ikamamatay niya ito. At ang iyong alipin ay magiging dahilan ng pagdurusa ng ama ng iyong alipin sa kamatayan. (Sheol h7585)

32 For thy servant, became surety for the lad, while away from my father saying, —If I bring him not unto thee, then will I count myself a sinner against my father all the days.

Sapagkat ang iyong alipin ang katiyakan sa bata para sa aking ama at sinabi kong, 'Kung hindi ko madadala ang bata sa iyo, papasanin ko ang kasalanan magpakailanman sa aking ama.

33 Now, therefore, I pray thee let thy servant remain instead of the lad, as servant to my lord, —but as for the lad, let him go up with his brethren.

Kaya ngayon, ako po ay nagmamakaawa hayaang manatili ang iyong lingkod sa halip na ang bata ang maging alipin ng aking amo, at hayaang makabalik ang bata kasama ng kanyang mga kapatid.

34 For how can I go up unto my father, should the lad, not be with me? lest I look on the calamity, that shall find out my father,

Sapagkat paano ako makakabalik sa aking ama kung hindi ko kasama ang bata? Natatakot akong makita ang masamang mangyayari sa aking ama.”
