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 Joseph charged the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put the money of each in the mouth of his sack.

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 silver cup into the sack of the youngest, and the price of his corn. And it was done according to the word of Joseph, as he said.

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

The morning dawned, and 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 had gone out of the city, [and] were not far off, then Joseph said to his steward, Arise, and pursue after the men; and you shall overtake them, and say to them, Why have you returned 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.”

Why have you stolen my silver cup? is it not this out of which my lord drinks? and he divines augury with it; you have accomplished evil in that which you have done.

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

And he found them, and spoke to them according to 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 to him, Why does our lord speak according to these words? far be it from your servants to do according to this word.

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?

If we brought back to you out of the land of Chanaan the money which we found in our sacks, how should we steal silver or gold out of the house of your lord?

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

With whoever of your servants you shall find the cup, let him die; and, moreover, we will be servants to our lord.

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 then it shall be as you say; with whoever the cup shall be found, he shall be my servant, and you shall be clear.

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

And they hasted, and took down every man his sack on the ground, and they 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 from the oldest, until he came to the youngest; and he found the cup in Benjamin's sack.

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

And they tore their garments, and laid each man his sack on 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 Judas and his brethren came in to Joseph, while he was yet there, and fell on the ground before him.

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

And Joseph said to them, What is this thing that you have done? know you not that a man such as I can surely 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 Judas said, What shall we answer to our lord, or what shall we say, or wherein should we be justified? whereas God has discovered the unrighteousness of your servants; behold, we are slaves to our lord, both we and he with whom the cup has been 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 Joseph said, Far be it from me to do this thing; the man with whom the cup has been found, he shall be my servant; but do you go up with safety to 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.

And Judas drew near him, and said, I pray, Sir, let your servant speak a word before you, and be not angry with your servant, for you are next to Pharao.

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

Sir, you asked your servants, saying, Have you 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 to [my] lord, We have a father, an old man, and he has a son of his old age, a young one, and his brother is dead, and he alone has been left behind to his mother, and his father loves him.

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

And you said to they servants, Bring him down to me, and I will take care of 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 to [my] lord, The child will not be able to leave his father; but if he should leave his father, he will die.

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

But you said to they servants, Except your younger brother come down with you, you shall not see my face again.

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

And it came to pass, when we went up to your servant our father, we reported to him the words of our lord.

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

And our father said, Go again, and 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 shall not be able to go down; but if our younger brother go down with us, we will go down; for we shall not be able to see the man's face, our younger brother not being with us.

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

And your servant our father said to us, You 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 one is departed from me; and you said that he was devoured of wild beasts, and I have not seen him until now.

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)

If then you take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall you bring down my old age 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 then, if I should go in to they servant, and our father, and the boy should not be with us, (and his life depends on this [lad's] life)

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 shall even come to pass, when he sees the boy is not with us, [that] he will die, and your servants will bring down the old age of your servant, and 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 your servant has received the boy [in charge] from his father, saying, If I bring him not to you, and place him before you, I shall be guilty towards 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 then I will remain a servant with you instead of the lad, a domestic of my lord; but 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, the lad not being with us? lest I behold the evils which will befall my father.
