< 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;
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 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.
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 By the time, the morning, was light, the men, had been sent away, they, and their asses.
Bí ilẹ̀ ti ń mọ́, wọ́n bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìrìnàjò wọn padà lọ pẹ̀lú kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ wọn.
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?
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 Is not this that in which my lord drinketh, and whereby, he himself, doth divine? Ye have done evil in what ye have done.
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 So he overtook them, —and spake unto them these words.
Nígbà tí ó sì bá wọn, o sọ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún wọn.
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!
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 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?
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 whomsoever of thy servants it can be found, he shall die, —and, we also, will become my lord’s servants.
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, 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.
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 So they hastened and took down each man his sack to the ground, —and opened each man his sack.
Olúkúlùkù wọn yára sọ àpò rẹ̀ kalẹ̀, wọ́n sì tú u.
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!
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 And they rent their mantles, —and laded each man his ass, 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 And Judah and his brethren came into the house of Joseph, he, yet being there, —and fell down before him to the earth.
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 which ye have done? Know ye not that such a man as I, can even divine?
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 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.
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 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.
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 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!
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 It was, my lord, who asked his servants, saying, —Have ye a father, or a brother?
Olúwa mi béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ǹjẹ́ ó ní baba tàbí arákùnrin?’
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.
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 So then thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, —that I may set mine eyes upon him.
“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 unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father, —as surely as he leaveth his father, so surely will he, 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 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother do come down with you, ye shall not again behold my face.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ wí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ẹ má ṣe padà tọ̀ mí wá àyàfi bí àbíkẹ́yìn yín bá bá yín wá.’
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.
Nígbà tí a padà lọ sọ́dọ̀ baba wa, tí í ṣe ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, a sọ ohun tí olúwa à mi wí fún un.
25 Then said our father, —Go again buy us a little food,
“Nígbà náà ni baba wa wí pé, ‘Ẹ padà lọ láti lọ ra oúnjẹ díẹ̀ wá.’
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.
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 said thy servant my father, unto us, —Ye yourselves, know, that, two, did my wife bear to me,
“Baba mi, ìránṣẹ́ rẹ wí fún wa pé, ‘Ẹ mọ̀ pé ìyàwó mi bí ọmọkùnrin méjì fún mi.
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.
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 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 )
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 )
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,
“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 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 )
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 )
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.
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 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.
“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 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,
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.”
