Genesis 44
1 When his brothers were ready to return home, Joseph said to the man who was in charge of things in his house, “Fill the sacks of those men with as much grain as they can carry [on their donkeys]. And put in the top of each man’s sack the silver that he paid for the grain.
Gisugo ni Jose ang piniyalan sa iyang balay, nga nag-ingon, “Pun-a ang mga sako sa mga tawo ug pagkaon, kutob sa ilang madala, ug ibutang ang matag salapi sa tawo sa sulod sa iyang sako.
2 Then put my silver cup in the top of the youngest brother’s sack, along with the silver that he paid for the grain.” So the servant did what Joseph told him to do.
Ibutang ang akong kupa, ang kupa nga plata, sa sulod sa sako sa kinamanghoran, ug ang iyang salapi alang sa trigo.” Gibuhat sa piniyalan ang gisulti kaniya ni Jose.
3 The next morning at dawn the men started on the way home with their donkeys.
Sa pagkabanag-banag sa kabuntagon, ug gipalakaw na ang mga tawo, sila ug ang ilang mga asno.
4 When they had not gone far from the city, Joseph said to the servant in charge of things in his house, “Pursue those men immediately. When you catch up to them, say to them, ‘We did good things for you! Why have you paid us back by doing something bad to us?
Sa dihang nakagawas na sila sa siyudad apan dili pa halayo, miingon si Jose sa iyang piniyalan, “Tindog, gukda ang mga tawo, ug sa dihang imo silang maapsan, sultihi sila, 'Nganong inyo man nga gibalosan ug daotan ang maayo?
5 [You have stolen the cup] that my master drinks from [RHQ]! It is the cup that he uses to find out things that nobody knows! What you did was very wicked!’”
Dili ba mao man kini ang kupa nga gina-imnan sa akong agalon, ug ang kupa nga iyang ginagamit sa pagpanagna? Daotan kaayo kining inyong gibuhat.”'
6 The servant [left immediately and] when he caught up with them, he told them what Joseph had told him to say.
Naapsan sila sa piniyalan ug giingon kining mga pulonga kanila.
7 But one of them replied to him, “Sir, why do you say such things? We are your servants, and we would never do anything like that!
Miingon sila kaniya, “Nganong makasulti man ang among agalon ug pulong nga sama niini? Dili mahimo sa inyong mga sulugoon kanang mga butanga.
8 We even brought back to you from Canaan land the silver that we found inside the tops of our sacks! So (we certainly would not steal silver or gold from your master’s house!/Why would we steal silver or gold from your master’s house?) [RHQ]
Tan-awa, ang salapi nga among nakita sa sulod sa among mga sako, gidala namo pagbalik kanimo gikan sa yuta sa Canaan. Unsaon man namo pagkawat sa plata ni bulawan didto sa balay sa imong agalon?
9 If you discover that any of us has that cup, you can execute him, and the rest of us will become your slaves.”
Kung makaplagan kini sa bisan kinsa sa imong mga sulugoon, mamahimo siyang patyon, ug mamahimo usab kaming mga ulipon sa among agalon.”
10 The man replied, “Okay, I will do what you say. But the one who has the cup will not be executed. Instead, he will become my slave, and the rest of you may return home.”
Miingon ang piniyalan, “Nan karon mahitabo kini sumala sa inyong mga gipamulong. Kaniya kansang nakaplagan ang kupa mamahimong akong ulipon, ug kamong uban dili pakasad-on.”
11 Each of the men quickly lowered his sack down from the donkey to the ground and opened it.
Unya ang matag-usa ka tawo nagdali-dali nga gipanaog ang iyang sako sa yuta, ug giablihan sa matag-usa ang iyang sako.
12 Then the servant started to search for the cup in each sack. He started with the oldest brother’s sack and ended with the youngest one’s sack. And he found the cup in Benjamin’s sack and showed it to them.
Misusi ang piniyalan. Iyang gisugdan sa kinamagulangan ug nahuman hangtod sa kinamanghoran, ug nakita ang kupa sa sako ni Benjamin.
13 The brothers tore their clothes [because they were so dismayed]. They loaded the sacks on the donkeys again and returned to the city.
Busa gigisi nila ang ilang mga bisti. Ug gibalik sa matag-usa ang karga sa asno ug mibalik sa siyudad.
14 When Judah and his [older and younger] brothers entered Joseph’s house, Joseph was still there. The servant told Joseph what had happened. Then the brothers threw themselves down on the ground in front of Joseph.
Mibalik si Juda ug ang iyang mga igsoong lalaki sa balay ni Jose. Anaa pa siya didto, ug miyukbo diha sa iyang atubangan.
15 He said to them, “Why did you do this? Do you not know that a man like me can find out things that nobody knows?” [RHQ]
Miingon si Jose ngadto kanila, “Unsa man kining inyong gibuhat? Wala ba kamo masayod nga ang tawo sama kanako makahimo sa pagpanagna?”
16 Judah replied, “Sir, what can we say? How can we prove that we (are innocent/did not steal the cup)? God has (paid us back/punished us) for the sins [we committed many years ago]. So now we will become your slaves—both we and the one in whose sack the cup was found.”
Miingon si Juda, “Unsa man ang among masulti sa akong agalon? Unsa man ang among ipamulong? Ni unsaon man namo pagpanalipod sa among kaugalingon? Nasayran sa Dios ang sala sa imong mga sulugoon. Tan-awa, kami mga ulipon sa akong agalon, kanamo ug kaniya usab kansang nakaplagan ang kupa.”
17 But Joseph replied, “No, I could never do anything like that. Only the man in whose sack the cup was found will become my slave. The rest of you can return to your father peacefully.”
Miingon si Jose, “Dili ko kana mahimo. Mamahimong akong ulipon, ang tawo kansang nakaplagan ang kupa, apan alang sa uban kaninyo, lakaw pauli sa inyong amahan nga malinawon.”
18 Then Judah came near to Joseph and said, “Sir, please let me say something to you. You are equal to the king himself, so you could command that I be executed; but do not be angry with me for speaking to you.
Unya miduol si Juda kaniya ug miingon, “Akong agalon, palihog tugoti ang imong sulugoon nga mosulti ug pulong sa igdulongog sa akong agalon, ug ayaw itugot ang imong kasuko nga magkalayo batok sa imong sulugoon, kay ikaw nahisama man sa Paraon.
19 You asked us, ‘Is your father still living, and do you have another brother?’
Nangutana ang akong agalon sa iyang mga sulugoon, nga naga-ingon, 'Aduna pa ba kamoy amahan ug igsoong lalaki?'
20 We answered, ‘Our father is alive, but he is an old man. He has a young son who was born after our father became an old man. That son had an [older] brother, who is now dead. So the youngest son is the only one of his mother’s sons who is still alive, and his father loves him very much.’
Ug miingon kami sa akong agalon, 'Anaa kami amahan, nga tigulang na, ug usa ka anak sa iyang pagkatigulang, nga gamay'ng bata. Ug ang iyang igsoong lalaki namatay na, ug siya na lamang ang nag-inusarang nahibilin nga anak sa iyang inahan, ug gihigugma siya sa iyang amahan.'
21 Then you said to us, ‘The next time you come here, bring your younger brother down to me, so that I can see him.’
Ug ikaw miingon sa imong mga sulugoon, 'Dad-a ninyo siya palugsong aron ako siyang makita.'
22 We said to you, ‘No, we cannot do that, because the boy cannot leave his father. If he leaves his father, his father will die from sorrow.’
Ug miingon kami sa akong agalon, 'Ang bata dili makabiya sa iyang amahan. Kay kung siya mobiya sa iyang amahan ang iyang amahan mamatay.'
23 But you told us, ‘If your youngest brother does not come back with you, I will not let you see me again!’
Ug ikaw miingon sa imong mga sulugoon, 'Dili kamo makakita pag-usab sa akong dagway, gawas lang kung ang inyong kinamanghorang igsoon molugsong uban kaninyo.'
24 When we returned to our father, we told him what you said.
Ug miabot ang higayon sa dihang mitungas kami didto sa imong sulugoon nga akong amahan, among gisugilon kaniya ang mga pulong sa akong agalon.
25 [Months later] our father said, ‘Go back to Egypt and buy some more grain!’
Ug ang among amahan miingon, 'Lakaw pag-usab, pagpalit ug pagkaon alang kanato.'
26 But we said, ‘We cannot go back by ourselves. We will go only if our youngest brother is with us. We will not be able to see the man who sells grain if our youngest brother is not with us.’
Ug miingon kami, 'Dili kami molugsong. Apan kung ang among kinamanghorang igsoon uban kanamo, nan molugsong kami, kay dili kami makakita sa panagway sa tawo gawas kung kauban namo ang among kinamanghorang igsoon.'
27 Our father replied, ‘You know that my wife [Rachel] gave birth to two sons for me.
Ang imong sulugoon nga akong amahan nagsulti kanamo, 'Nasayod kamo nga ang akong asawa nakabaton kanako ug duha ka mga anak nga lalaki.
28 One of them disappeared, and I said, “A wild animal has surely torn him to pieces.” And I have not seen him since then.
Ug ang usa nawala gikan kanako ug ako miingon, “Gikunis-kunis gayod siya, ug sukad wala ko na siya hikit-i.”
29 I am an old gray-haired man. If you take this other one from me, too, and something harms him, you would cause me to die because of my sorrow.’ (Sheol h7585)
Ug kung inyong kuhaon usab kining usa gikan kanako ug adunay daotang mahitabo kaniya, kamoy magdala sa akong ubanong buhok paubos sa seol nga adunay kasub-anan.' (Sheol h7585)
30 “So please listen. My father will remain alive only if his youngest son remains alive.
Busa, karon, kung mopauli ako sa imong sulugoon nga akong amahan, ug ang bata dili namo kauban, sanglit ang iyang kinabuhi sumpay man sa kinabuhi sa batang lalaki,
31 If he sees that the boy is not with us when we return to him, he will die. We will cause our gray-haired father to die because of his sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
moabot gayod, nga kung iyang makita nga dili namo kauban ang bata mamatay siya. Ug ang imong mga sulugoon ang magdala sa ubanong buhok sa imong sulugoon nga among amahan paubos sa seol nga adunay kasub-anan. (Sheol h7585)
32 I guaranteed/promised to my father that the boy would return safely. I told him, ‘You can require me to do what I am promising. If I do not bring him back to you, you can say forever that (I am to blame/it is my fault) [for not bringing him back to you].’
Kay ang imong sulugoon nagpasalig alang sa batang lalaki ngadto sa akong amahan ug miingon, 'Kung dili ko siya madala pagbalik nganha kanimo, basolon ako sa akong amahan hangtod sa kahangtoran.'
33 “So, please let me remain here as your slave instead of my youngest brother, and let the boy return home with his other older brothers.
Busa karon, palihog tugoti ang imong sulugoon nga magpabilin puli sa batang lalaki aron mahimong sulugoon sa akong agalon, ug tugoti ang batang lalaki nga motungas kauban sa iyang mga igsoong lalaki.
34 (I cannot return to my father if the boy is not with me!/How can I return to my father if the boy is not with me?) [RHQ] I do not want to see how miserable/sad my father would become!”
Kay unsaon man nako pag-adto sa akong amahan kung ang batang lalaki dili nako kauban? Mahadlok ako nga makita ang daotang mahitabo sa akong amahan.”
