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.
At kaniyang iniutos sa katiwala ng kaniyang bahay, na sinasabi, Punuin mo ng mga pagkain ang mga bayong ng mga lalaking ito, kung gaano ang kanilang madadala: at ilagay mo ang salapi ng bawa't isa sa labi ng kanikaniyang bayong.
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.
At ilagay mo ang aking saro, ang sarong pilak, sa labi ng bayong ng bunso, at ang salapi ng kaniyang trigo. At ginawa niya ang ayon sa salita na sinalita ni Jose.
3 The next morning at dawn the men started on the way home with their donkeys.
At pagliliwanag ng kinaumagahan, ay pinapagpaalam ang mga lalake, sila at ang kanilang 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?
Nang sila'y mangakalabas na sa bayan, at hindi pa sila nalalayo, ay sinabi ni Jose sa katiwala ng kaniyang bahay, Bumangon ka habulin mo ang mga lalake; at pagka sila'y iyong inabutan, ay sabihin mo sa kanila, Bakit iginanti ninyo ay kasamaan sa kabutihan?
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!’”
Hindi ba ang sarong ito ang iniinuman ng aking panginoon, at tunay na kaniyang ipinanghuhula? Kayo'y gumawa ng masama sa paggawa ng ganiyan.
6 The servant [left immediately and] when he caught up with them, he told them what Joseph had told him to say.
At kaniyang inabutan sila, at kaniyang sinalita sa kanila ang mga ito.
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!
At kanilang sinabi sa kaniya, Bakit sinalita ng aking panginoon ang mga salitang ito? Huwag itulot ng Dios na gumawa ang iyong mga lingkod ng ganiyang bagay.
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]
Narito, ang salapi na aming nasumpungan sa labi ng aming mga bayong ay aming isinauli sa iyo mula sa lupain ng Canaan: paano ngang kami ay magnanakaw sa bahay ng iyong panginoon ng pilak o ginto?
9 If you discover that any of us has that cup, you can execute him, and the rest of us will become your slaves.”
Yaong kasumpungan sa iyong mga lingkod, ay mamatay, at pati kami ay magiging alipin ng aming panginoon.
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.”
At kaniyang sinabi, Mangyari nga ang ayon sa inyong mga salita; yaong kasumpungan ay magiging aking alipin; at kayo'y mawawalan ng sala.
11 Each of the men quickly lowered his sack down from the donkey to the ground and opened it.
Nang magkagayo'y nagmadali sila, at ibinaba ng bawa't isa ang kaniyang bayong sa lupa, at binuksan ng bawa't isa ang kaniyang bayong.
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.
At kaniyang sinaliksik, na pinasimulan sa panganay at niwakasan sa bunso; at nasumpungan ang saro sa bayong 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.
Nang magkagayo'y kanilang hinapak ang kanilang mga suot, at pinasanan ng bawa't isa ang kaniyang asno, at nagsibalik sa bayan.
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.
At si Juda at ang kaniyang mga kapatid ay dumating sa bahay ni Jose at siya'y nandoon pa, at sila'y nangagpatirapa sa lupa sa harap niya.
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]
At sinabi sa kanila ni Jose, Anong gawa itong inyong ginawa? Hindi ba ninyo nalalaman na ang isang tao na gaya ko ay tunay na makahuhula?
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.”
At sinabi ni Juda: Anong aming sasabihin sa aming panginoon? anong aming sasalitain? o paanong kami ay magpapatotoo? Inilitaw ng Dios ang kasamaan ng iyong mga lingkod: narito, kami ay alipin ng aming panginoon, kami sampu niyaong kinasumpungan ng saro.
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.”
At kaniyang sinabi, Huwag nawang itulot ng Dios na ako'y gumawa ng ganiyan; ang taong kinasumpungan ng saro, ay siyang magiging aking alipin; datapuwa't tungkol sa inyo ay pumaroon kayong payapa sa inyong ama.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y lumapit si Juda sa kaniya, at nagsabi, Oh panginoon ko, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo na papagsalitain ang iyong lingkod, ng isang salita sa mga pakinig ng aking panginoon, at huwag nawang magalab ang iyong loob laban sa iyong lingkod; sapagka't ikaw ay parang si Faraon.
19 You asked us, ‘Is your father still living, and do you have another brother?’
Tinanong ng aking panginoon ang kaniyang mga lingkod, na sinasabi; Kayo ba'y mayroong ama o kapatid?
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.’
At aming sinabi sa aking panginoon, Kami ay may ama, isang matanda, at isang anak sa kaniyang katandaan, isang munting bata at ang kaniyang kapatid ay namatay, at siya lamang ang naiwan ng kaniyang ina, at minamahal siya ng kaniyang ama.
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.’
At sinabi mo sa iyong mga lingkod, Dalhin ninyo rito sa akin, upang mamasdan ko siya ng aking mga mata.
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.’
At aming sinabi sa aking panginoon, Hindi maiiwan ng bata ang kaniyang ama: sapagka't kung iiwan niya ang kaniyang ama, ay mamamatay ang ama niya.
23 But you told us, ‘If your youngest brother does not come back with you, I will not let you see me again!’
At iyong sinabi sa iyong mga lingkod, Hindi na ninyo makikita ang aking mukha, malibang inyong ipagsamang bumaba ang inyong kapatid na bunso.
24 When we returned to our father, we told him what you said.
At nangyari nang panhikin namin ang inyong lingkod na aking ama, ay aming isinaysay sa kaniya ang mga salita ng aking panginoon.
25 [Months later] our father said, ‘Go back to Egypt and buy some more grain!’
At sinabi ng aming ama, Pumaroon kayo uli, ibili ninyo tayo ng kaunting pagkain.
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.’
At aming sinabi, Hindi kami makabababa: kung ang aming bunsong kapatid ay kasama namin ay bababa nga kami: sapagka't hindi namin makikita ang mukha ng lalaking yaon, malibang ang aming bunsong kapatid ay kasama namin.
27 Our father replied, ‘You know that my wife [Rachel] gave birth to two sons for me.
At sinabi ng iyong lingkod na aming ama sa amin, Inyong talastas na ang aking asawa ay nagkaanak sa akin ng dalawang lalake:
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.
At ang isa'y umalis sa akin, at aking sinabi, Tunay na siya'y nalapa; at hindi ko siya nakita mula noon.
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)
At kung inyong kunin pa ang isang ito sa akin, at may mangyaring sakuna sa kaniya, ay inyong ibababa ang aking uban sa Sheol na may kapanglawan. (Sheol h7585)
30 “So please listen. My father will remain alive only if his youngest son remains alive.
Ngayon nga'y kung ako'y dumating sa iyong lingkod na aking ama, at ang bata ay hindi namin kasama; sapagka't ang kaniyang buhay ay natatali sa buhay ng batang iyan;
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)
Ay mangyayari nga na pagka kaniyang nakitang ang bata ay di namin kasama, na mamamatay siya: at ibababa sa Sheol na may kapanglawan ng iyong mga lingkod ang mga uban ng iyong lingkod na aming ama. (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].’
Sapagka't ang iyong lingkod ang siyang nanagot sa bata sa aking ama, na nagsasabi: Kung hindi ko siya dalhin sa iyo, ay papasanin ko nga ang kasalanan sa aking ama magpakailan man.
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.
Ngayon nga, ay ipahintulot mo na ang iyong lingkod, aking isinasamo sa iyo, ay maiwan na kahalili ng bata na pinakaalipin ng aking panginoon; at iyong ipahintulot na ang bata ay umahong kasama ng kaniyang mga kapatid.
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!”
Sapagka't paanong paroroon ako sa aking ama, at ang bata'y di ko kasama? Baka aking makita pa ang sakunang sasapit sa aking ama.
