Genesis 44

1 And he commandeth him who [is] over his house, saying, 'Fill the bags of the men [with] food, as they are able to bear, and put the money of each in the mouth of his bag;

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 my cup, the silver cup, thou dost put in the mouth of the bag of the young one, and his corn-money;' and he doth according to the word of Joseph which he hath 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 The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their asses —

Ary raha vao nazava ny andro, dia nampandehanina ireo lehilahy ireo, dia izy sy ny borikiny.

4 they have gone out of the city — they have not gone far off — and Joseph hath said to him who [is] over his house, 'Rise, pursue after the men; and thou hast overtaken them, and thou hast said unto them, Why have ye recompensed 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 that with which my lord drinketh? and he observeth diligently with it; ye have done evil [in] that which ye have done.'

Tsy iny va no fisotroan’ ny tompoko sy famantarany zavatra? ratsy izao nataonareo izao.

6 And he overtaketh them, and speaketh unto them these words,

Dia nahatratra azy ralehilahy ka nilaza izany teny izany taminy.

7 and they say unto him, 'Why doth my lord speak according to these words? far be it from thy servants to do according to this word;

Ary hoy izy ireo taminy: Nahoana itompokolahy no dia miteny toy izany? Sanatria amin’ ny mpanomponao ny hanao zavatra toy izany.

8 lo, the money which we found in the mouth of our bags we brought back unto thee from the land of Canaan, and how do we steal from the house of thy lord 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 is found, he hath died, and we also are to my lord for servants.'

Izay anankiray amin’ ny mpanomponao hahitana izany, dia aoka hovonoina izy, ary izahay kosa dia ho andevon’ itompokolahy.

10 And he saith, 'Now, also, according to your words, so it [is]; he with whom it is found becometh my servant, and ye are acquitted;'

Dia hoy izy: Aoka ary hatao araka ny teninareo: izay hahitana izany dia ho andevoko; fa ianareo tsy hanan-tsiny.

11 and they hasten and take down each his bag to the earth, and each openeth his bag;

Ary samy nampidina faingana ny lasakany tamin’ ny tany izy, ka samy nanokatra ny lasakany avy.

12 and he searcheth — at the eldest he hath begun, and at the youngest he hath completed — and the cup is found in the bag of Benjamin;

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 and they rend their garments, and each ladeth his ass, and they turn back 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 — his brethren also — cometh in unto the house of Joseph, and he is yet there, and they fall before him to the earth;

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 saith to them, 'What [is] this deed that ye have done? have ye not known that a man like me doth diligently observe?'

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 saith, 'What do we say to my lord? what do we speak? and what — do we justify ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants; lo, we [are] servants to my lord, both we, and he in whose hand the cup hath been 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 saith, 'Far be it from me to do this; the man in whose hand the cup hath been found, he becometh my servant; and ye, go ye 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 And Judah cometh nigh unto him, and saith, 'O, my lord, let thy servant speak, I pray thee, a word in the ears of my lord, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant — for thou art 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 hath asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father or brother?

Itompokolahy nanontany ny mpanompony hoe: Manan-dray na rahalahy koa va ianareo?

20 and we say unto my lord, We have a father, an aged one, and a child of old age, a little one; and his brother died, and he is left alone of his mother, and his father hath loved 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 sayest unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, and I set mine eye upon him;

Ary ianao nanao tamin’ ny mpanomponao hoe: Ento mankaty amiko izy mba ho hitan’ ny masoko.

22 and we say unto my lord, The youth is not able to leave his father, when he hath left his father, then he hath died;

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 sayest unto thy servants, If your young brother come not down with you, ye add not to see my face.

Ary hoy ianao tamin’ ny mpanomponao: Raha tsy hiara-midìna aminareo ny zandrinareo faralahy, dia tsy hahita ny tavako intsony ianareo.

24 'And it cometh to pass, that we have come up unto thy servant my father, that we declare to 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 saith, Turn back, buy for us a little food,

Dia hoy ny rainay: Mandehana indray, mividia hanina kely ho antsika.

26 and we say, We are not able to go down; if our young brother is with us, then we have gone down; for we are not able to see the man's face, and our young brother not 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 saith unto us, Ye — ye have known that two did my wife bare to me,

Dia hoy ny mpanomponao raiko taminay: Fantatrareo fa ny vadiko efa niteraka roa lahy tamiko;

28 and the one goeth out from me, and I say, Surely he is torn — torn! 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 when ye have taken also this from my presence, and mischief hath met him, then ye have brought down my grey hairs with evil to sheol. (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 'And now, at my coming in unto thy servant my father, and the youth not with us (and his soul is bound up in his soul),

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 then it hath come to pass when he seeth that the youth is not, that he hath died, and thy servants have brought down the grey hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to sheol; (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 obtained the youth by surety from my father, saying, If I bring him not in unto thee — then I have sinned against my father all the days.

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 'And now, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the youth a servant to my lord, and the youth goeth 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 do I go up unto my father, and the youth not with me? lest I look on the evil which doth find 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.
