Genesis 44

1 Binilin ni Jose ti mangay-aywan iti balayna, a kunana, “Kargaam dagiti sako dagiti lallaki iti taraon, segun iti kabaelanda nga awiten, ken ikabilmo ti kuarta ti tunggal maysa a lalaki iti ngarab dagiti sakoda.

And he commanded the steward of his house, saying: 'Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.

2 Ikabilmo ti kopak, ti pirak a kopa, iti ngarab ti sako ti inaudi, ken kasta met ti kuartana a bayad ti bukel.” Inaramid ngarud ti mangay-aywan ti imbaga ni Jose.

And put my goblet, the silver goblet, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money.' And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

3 Lumawlawagen iti bigat, ket napalubosan a pumanaw dagiti lallaki, isuda ken dagiti asnoda.

As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

4 Idi nakaruardan iti siudad ngem saanda pay a nakaadayo, imbaga ni Jose iti mangay-aywan, “Tumakderka, kamatem dagiti lallaki, ket no makamatam ida, ibagam kadakuada, “Apay a sinubadanyo iti dakes ti naimbag?

And when they were gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward: 'Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them: Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?

5 Apay a tinakawyo ti kopa a pagin-inuman ti apok, nga ar-aramatenna metlaeng nga agbuyon? Nakaaramidkayo iti dakes, gapu iti daytoy a banag a naaramidanyo.”

Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby he indeed divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.'

6 Nakamatan ida ti mangay-aywan ket insaona dagitoy a sasao kadakuada.

And he overtook them, and he spoke unto them these words.

7 Kinunada kenkuana, “Apay ta agsasao ti apok iti nalabes a sasao a kas kadagitoy? Adayo nga aramiden dagiti adipenmo daytoy a banag.

And they said unto him: 'Wherefore speaketh my lord such words as these? Far be it from thy servants that they should do such a thing.

8 Kitaem, ti kuarta a nasarakanmi kadagiti ngarab ti saksakomi, inyegmi manen kadakayo manipud iti daga ti Canaan. Kasano ngarud nga agtakawkami ti pirak ken balitok iti balay ni amom?

Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought back unto thee out of the land of Canaan; how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?

9 No siasino kadagiti adipenmo iti pakasarakanna, uray matay isuna, ken dakami met ket agbalin a tagabu iti apok.”

With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.'

10 Imbaga ti mangay-aywan, “Ita ngarud, mapasamak koma a kas kadagiti imbagam. No siasino iti pakasarakan ti kopa, agbalin isuna a tagabuk, ket dakayo a dadduma, saankayo a mairaman.”

And he said: 'Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my bondman; and ye shall be blameless.'

11 Kalpasanna, pinartakan ti tunggal maysa nga imbaba dagiti sakoda, ket linukatan ti tunggal maysa dagiti sakoda.

Then they hastened, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

12 Nagbiruk ti mangay-aywan. Rinuggianna iti kalakayan ket lineppasna iti kaubingan, ket nasarakanna ti kopa iti sako ni Benjamin.

And he searched, beginning at the eldest, and leaving off at the youngest; and the goblet was found in Benjamin's sack.

13 Rinay-abda dagiti kawesda. Nagsakay ti tunggal lalaki iti asnona ket nagsublida iti siudad.

And they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.

14 Immay ni Juda ken dagiti kakabsatna iti balay ni Jose, adda pay laeng isuna sadiay, ket nagpaklebda iti sangoananna.

And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house, and he was yet there; and they fell before him on the ground.

15 Kinuna ni Jose kadakuada, “Ania daytoy a naaramidyo? Saanyo kadi nga ammo nga iti lalaki a kas kaniak ket agbuybuyon?”

And Joseph said unto them: 'What deed is this that ye have done? know ye not that such a man as I will indeed divine?'

16 Kinuna ni Juda, “Ania iti maibagami kenka apo? Ania iti isaomi? Wenno kasanomi nga ikalintegan dagiti bagbagimi? Naduktalan ti Dios ti basol dagiti adipenmo. Kitaenyo, dakami ket tagabum apo, dakami amin agraman ti nakasarakan iti kopa.”

And Judah said: 'What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.'

17 Kinuna ni Jose, “Adayo a maaramidko ti kasta. Ti laeng lalaki a nakasarakan ti kopa ti agbalin a tagabuk, ngem dakayo a dadduma, sumang-atkayo a sitatalna iti ayan ti amayo.”

And he said: 'Far be it from me that I should do so; the man in whose hand the goblet is found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.'

18 Ket immasideg ni Juda kenkuana ket kinunana, “Apo, pangngaasim, bay-am koma nga agsao daytoy adipenmo ket denggem koma, ken saanka koma a makaunget iti adipenmo, ta sika ket kas iti Faraon.

Then Judah came near unto him, and said: 'Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant; for thou art even as Pharaoh.

19 Nagsaludsod ti apok kadagiti adipenna, kunana, 'Adda kadi amayo wenno kabsatyo a lalaki?'

My lord asked his servants, saying: Have ye a father, or a brother?

20 Ket kinunami kenka apo, “Addaan pay iti amami, lakayen isuna, ken adda maysa a putotna iti kinalakayna, maysa nga ubing. Ket natayen ti kabsatna a lalaki, ken is-isuna laengen iti nabati nga anak ti inana, ket ay-ayaten unay isuna iti amana.'

And we said unto my lord: We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.

21 Ket imbagam kadagiti adipenmo, 'Iyegyo isuna kaniak tapno makitak isuna.'

And thou saidst unto thy servants: Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.

22 Ket kinunami kenka apo, 'Saan a mabalin a panawan ti ubing ti amana. Ta no panawanna ti amana, matay ti amana.'

And we said unto my lord: The lad cannot leave his father; for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

23 Ket kinunam kadagiti adipenmo, 'Malaksid a kaduayo a sumalog ti kabsatyo a lalaki, saanyonto a makita manen ti rupak.'

And thou saidst unto thy servants: Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.

24 Ket napasamak nga idi napankami iti adipenmo nga amak, imbagami kenkuana ti insaom apo.

And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

25 Ket kinuna ti amami, 'Mapankayo manen gumatang iti taraontayo.'

And our father said: Go again, buy us a little food.

26 Ket kinunami, 'Saankami a makapan. Mapankami no kaduami ti inaudi a kabsatmi, ta saankami a mabalin a sumango iti lalaki malaksid no kaduami ti inaudi a kabsatmi.'

And we said: We cannot go down; if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.

27 Kinuna kadakami ti adipenmo nga amak, 'Ammoyo met nga inikkannak laeng iti dua nga annak a lallaki ti asawak.

And thy servant my father said unto us: Ye know that my wife bore me two sons;

28 Ket napukaw ti maysa kaniak ket kinunak, “Sigurado a narangkarangkayen isuna, ket saankon a nakita pay isuna manipud idi.”

and the one went out from me, and I said: Surely he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him since;

29 Ket no alaenyo pay daytoy maysa kaniak ket adda iti saan a nasayaat a mapasamak kenkuana, ipandakto, siak a purawen ti buokna, iti sheol gapu iti ladingit. (Sheol h7585)

and if ye take this one also from me, and harm befall him, ye will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)

30 Ita, ngarud, no mapanak iti adipenmo nga amak, ket saanmi a kadua ti barito, agsipud ta ti biagna ket naisinggalut iti biag ti ubing,

Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his soul is bound up with the lad's soul;

31 mapasamakto nga inton makitana a saanmi a kadua ti ubing, ket matayto isuna. Ket dakaminto nga adipenmo ti pakaigapuan iti panagladingitna a mangipan kenkuana iti sheol.' (Sheol h7585)

it will come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die; and thy servants will bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)

32 Ta nagkari daytoy adipenmo iti amami maipapan iti ubing, a kinunana, 'No saanko a maisubli isuna kenka, uray siakton ti mangawit iti pammabasol ti amak iti agnanayon.'

For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying: If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I bear the blame to my father for ever.

33 Isu nga ita, pangngaasim ta ipalubosmo koma a daytoy nga adipenmo ti mabati a kas tagabu kenka apo, a saan ket a ti ubing, ket ipalubosmo koma a sumang-at ti ubing a kaduana dagiti kakabsatna a lallaki.

Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.

34 Ta ania ngay ti rupak a mapan iti amak no saanko a kadua ti ubing? Mabutengak a makita ti dakes a mabalin a mapasamak iti amak.”

For how shall I go up to my father, if the lad be not with me? lest I look upon the evil that shall come on my father.'
