Jenèz 44
1 Apre sa, Jozèf bay chèf domestik la lòd sa a: -Plen sak mesye yo manje mezi yo ka pote. Mete lajan chak moun nan bouch sak yo.
And he commaunded the rueler of his house saynge: fyll the mens sackes with food as moch as they can carie
2 W'a pran gwo gode m' lan, gode an ajan an, w'a mete l' nan bouch sak pi piti a ansanm ak tout lajan l' lan. Chèf domestik la fè sa Jozèf te di l' fè a.
and put euery mans money in his bagge mouth and put my syluer cuppe in the sackes mouth of the yongest and his corne money also. And he dyd as Ioseph had sayde.
3 Nan denmen maten, byen bonè, yo voye mesye yo al fè wout yo ak tout bourik yo.
And in ye mornynge as soone as it was lighte the me were let goo with their asses.
4 Yo te fin kite lavil la dèyè, men yo pa t' pi lwen pase sa, lè Jozèf di domestik li a: -Leve, kouri dèyè mesye yo. Lè w'a trape yo, w'a di yo: Poukisa nou aji mal konsa ak moun ki fè nou byen?
And when they were out of the cytie and not yet ferre awaye Ioseph sayde vnto the ruelar of his house: vp and folowe after the men and ouertake them and saye vnto them: wherefore haue ye rewarded euell for good?
5 Poukisa nou pran gwo gode mèt mwen an? Se ladan l' li bwè, se ak li li sèvi pou l' konnen sa ki pral pase. Sa nou fè a pa bon menm.
is that not the cuppe of which my lorde drynketh ad doth he not prophesie therin? ye haue euell done that ye haue done.
6 Lè domestik la trape yo, li repete tout sa mèt li a te di l'.
And he ouertoke them and sayde the same wordes vnto them.
7 Men yo reponn: -Men msye, nou pa konprann sa w'ap di la a. pou n' ta fè bagay konsa? Mande Bondye padon!
And they answered him: wherfore sayth my lorde soch wordes? God forbydd that thy servauntes shulde doo so.
8 Gade, lajan nou te jwenn premye fwa a nan bouch sak nou yo, nou pote l' tounen ba ou soti peyi Kanaran. Ki jan ou vle wè pou nou ta vòlò ajan osinon lò kay mèt la?
Beholde the money which we founde in oure sackes mouthes we brought agayne vnto the out of the lande of Canaa: how then shulde we steale out of my lordes house ether syluer or golde?
9 Si ou jwenn gwo gode a nan men yonn nan nou, se pou moun sa a mouri. Nou menm lòt yo, se pou yo fè nou tounen esklav.
with whosoeuer of thy seruauntes it be founde let him dye and let vs also be my lordes bondmen.
10 Domestik la di: -Dakò. Men, si yo jwenn gode a nan men yonn nan nou, se moun sa a m'ap pran pou sèvi m' esklav. Lòt yo lib, yo mèt ale.
And he sayde: Now therfore acordynge vnto youre woordes he with whom it is found shalbe my seruaunte: but ye shalbe harmelesse.
11 La menm, yo prese mete sak yo atè, chak moun louvri sak yo.
And attonce euery man toke downe his sacke to the grounde ad every man opened his sacke.
12 Chèf domestik Jozèf la pran fouye sak yo yonn apre lòt. Li konmanse ak sak pi gran an pou l' fini ak sak pi piti a. Yo jwenn gode a nan sak Benjamen an.
And he serched and began at the eldest and left at the yongest. And the cuppe was founde in Ben Iamins sacke.
13 Sa ou tande a, yon sèl lapenn pran mesye yo, yo chire rad sou yo. Chak moun chaje bourik yo ankò, yo tounen lavil.
Then they rent their clothes and laded euery man his asse and went agayne vnto the cytie.
14 Lè Jida ak frè l' yo rive lakay Jozèf, Jozèf te la toujou. Yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan li.
And Iuda and his brethre came to Iosephs house for he was yet there ad they fell before him on the grounde.
15 Jozèf di yo: -Kisa nou fè konsa? Eske nou pa konnen yon nonm tankou mwen gen pouvwa pou m' wè tout sa ki pral rive?
And Ioseph sayde vnto the: what dede is this which ye haue done? wist ye not that soch a man as I can prophesie?
16 Jida reponn li: -Mèt, nou pa konn sa pou nou di. Nou pa ka pale. Pa gen savon pou lave nou devan ou. Se Bondye menm ki fè ou dekouvri nou. Mèt, se poutèt sa se pa sèlman moun ki te gen gode a nan men l' lan ki esklav ou, se nou tout ki esklav ou.
Then sayde Iuda: what shall we saye vnto my lorde what shall we speake or what excuse can we make? God hath founde out ye wekednesse of thy seruauntes. Beholde both we and he with whom the cuppe is founde are thy seruauntes.
17 Men Jozèf di: -Mande Bondye padon! Mwen pa ka fè sa. Moun ki te gen gode a, se li menm sèlman k'ap rete pou sèvi m' esklav. Lòt yo mèt tounen lakay papa yo ak kè poze jan yo te vini an.
And he answered: God forbyd ye I shulde do so the man with whom the cuppe is founde he shalbe my seruaunte: but goo ye in peace vn to youre father.
18 Lè sa a, Jida pwoche bò kote Jozèf, li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, mèt. Kite m' di ou yon ti pawòl. Ou pa bezwen fache sou mwen. Mwen konnen ki di ou menm di farawon an.
Then Iuda went vnto him and sayde: oh my lorde let thy servaunte speake a worde in my lordes audyence and be not wrooth with thi servaunte: for thou art euen as Pharao.
19 Mèt, ou te mande nou èske papa nou la, èske nou gen lòt frè.
My lorde axed his seruaunte sainge: haue ye a father or a brother?
20 Nou te reponn ou: Wi, nou gen yon papa ki fin vye granmoun ak yon ti frè, pitit papa nou te fè nan vyeyès li. Ti bway la te gen yon lòt frè menm manman avè l'. Men, li mouri. Nan de pitit manman l' yo, se li menm ase ki rete. Lèfini papa nou renmen l' anpil.
And we answered my lord we haue a father that is old and a yonge lad which he begat in his age: ad the brother of the sayde lad is dead and he is all that is left of that mother. And his father loueth him.
21 Ou te mande nou pou nou mennen l' isit la pou ou te ka wè l'.
Then sayde my lorde vnto his seruauntes brynge him vnto me that I maye sett myne eyes apon him.
22 Nou te reponn ou, mèt, ti bway la pa t' ka kite papa l'. Si li kite l', chagren va touye papa a.
And we answered my lorde that the lad coude not goo from his father for if he shulde leaue his father he were but a deed man.
23 Men, ou te kenbe pawòl ou pi rèd, ou te di nou si ti frè nou an pa vini ak nou, nou pa bezwen parèt devan ou.
Than saydest thou vnto thy servauntes: excepte youre yongest brother come with you loke that ye se my face no moare.
24 Lè nou tounen kay papa nou, nou rakonte l' tout sa ou te di nou.
And when we came vnto thy servaunt oure father we shewed him what my lorde had sayde.
25 Apre sa, papa di nou: Tounen al achte manje pou mwen.
And when oure father sayde vnto vs goo agayne and bye vs a litle fode:
26 Nou di l': Non, papa. Nou pa ka desann paske si ti frè nou an pa ale ak nou, nou p'ap ka parèt devan chèf la. Men, si ou dakò pou ti frè nou an ale ak nou, n'a desann.
we sayd yt we coude not goo. Neverthelesse if oure youngeste brother go with vs then will we goo for we maye not see the mannes face excepte oure yongest brother be with vs.
27 Lè sa a, papa nou di: Nou konnen madanm mwen te fè de sèl pitit gason pou mwen.
Then sayde thy servaunt oure father vnto vs. Ye knowe that my wyfe bare me. ij. sonnes.
28 Gen yonn ki pati kite m'. Mwen kwè se bèt nan bwa ki dwe devore l', paske mwen pa janm wè l' jouk koulye a.
And the one went out from me and it is sayde of a suertie that he is torne in peaces of wyld beastes and I sawe him not sence.
29 Jòdi a, si nou pran sa a nan men m', si yon malè rive l', avèk tout laj sa ki sou tèt mwen an, mwen p'ap ka sipòte lapenn sa a, chagren va touye m'. (Sheol h7585)
Yf ye shall take this also awaye fro me and some mysfortune happen apon him then shall ye brynge my gray heed with sorow vnto the grave. (Sheol h7585)
30 Koulye a atò, mèt, si mwen tounen al jwenn papa m' san pitit gason l' sa a, ki de je nan tèt li,
Now therfore whe I come to thy servaunt my father yf the lad be not with me: seinge that his lyfe hageth by the laddes lyfe
31 kou la gade li wè pitit li a pa la, l'ap mouri. Se nou menm ki va lakòz lapenn sa a k'ap twòp pou granmoun lan. Papa nou va mouri sou kont nou. (Sheol h7585)
then as soone as he seeth that the lad is not come he will dye. So shall we thy servautes brynge the gray hedde of thy servaunt oure father with sorow vnto the grave. (Sheol h7585)
32 Wi, se mwen menm ki te bay papa m' garanti m'ap tounen ak pitit la. Mwen te di l': Si m' pa mennen l' tounen ba li, se mwen menm k'ap pote fòt la devan l' jouk jou mwen mouri.
For I thy servaunt became suertie for the lad vnto my father and sayde: yf I bringe him not vnto the agayne. I will bere the blame all my life loge.
33 Se poutèt sa, mèt, tanpri, kite ti bway la ale avèk frè l' yo, kite m' pran plas li. Gade m' pou esklav ou.
Now therfore let me thy servaunt byde here for ye lad and be my lordes bondman: and let the lad goo home with his brethern.
34 Mwen pa konnen ki pye pou m' ta mete devan pou m' tounen kay papa m' san ti gason an pa avèk nou. Mwen pa ta vle wè lapenn sa a tonbe sou papa m'.
For how can I goo vnto my father and the lad not wyth me: lest I shulde see the wretchednes that shall come on my father.
