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.
He enjoined the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each 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.
Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money.” He did according to the word that Joseph [May he add] 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 donkeys.
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?
When they had gone out of the city, and was not yet far off, Joseph [May he add] said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, ‘Why have you 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 that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.’”
6 Nakamatan ida ti mangay-aywan ket insaona dagitoy a sasao kadakuada.
He overtook them, and he spoke these words to them.
7 Kinunada kenkuana, “Apay ta agsasao ti apok iti nalabes a sasao a kas kadagitoy? Adayo nga aramiden dagiti adipenmo daytoy a banag.
They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your 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 again to you out of the land of Canaan [Humbled]. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house?
9 No siasino kadagiti adipenmo iti pakasarakanna, uray matay isuna, ken dakami met ket agbalin a tagabu iti apok.”
With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.”
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.”
He said, “Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found will be my slave; and you will be blameless.”
11 Kalpasanna, pinartakan ti tunggal maysa nga imbaba dagiti sakoda, ket linukatan ti tunggal maysa dagiti sakoda.
Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
12 Nagbiruk ti mangay-aywan. Rinuggianna iti kalakayan ket lineppasna iti kaubingan, ket nasarakanna ti kopa iti sako ni Benjamin.
He searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin [Son of right hand, Son of south]’s sack.
13 Rinay-abda dagiti kawesda. Nagsakay ti tunggal lalaki iti asnona ket nagsublida iti siudad.
Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, 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.
Judah [Praised] and his brothers came to Joseph [May he add]’s house, and he was still there. They 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?”
Joseph [May he add] said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can 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.”
Judah [Praised] said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? Or how will we clear ourselves? God has found out the depravity (moral evil) of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s slaves, 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.”
He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace 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.
Then Judah [Praised] came near to him, and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.
19 Nagsaludsod ti apok kadagiti adipenna, kunana, 'Adda kadi amayo wenno kabsatyo a lalaki?'
My lord asked his 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.'
We said to 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 'ahav ·affectionately loves· him.’
21 Ket imbagam kadagiti adipenmo, 'Iyegyo isuna kaniak tapno makitak isuna.'
You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’
22 Ket kinunami kenka apo, 'Saan a mabalin a panawan ti ubing ti amana. Ta no panawanna ti amana, matay ti amana.'
We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t 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.'
You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’
24 Ket napasamak nga idi napankami iti adipenmo nga amak, imbagami kenkuana ti insaom apo.
When we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25 Ket kinuna ti amami, 'Mapankayo manen gumatang iti taraontayo.'
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.'
We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’
27 Kinuna kadakami ti adipenmo nga amak, 'Ammoyo met nga inikkannak laeng iti dua nga annak a lallaki ti asawak.
Your servant, my 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 the one went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces;” and I haven’t 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)
If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol ·Place of the dead·.’ (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 your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’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 will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol ·Place of the dead·. (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 became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the sin ·err (the standard goal)· before my father forever.’
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, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, my lord’s slave; and let the boy go up with his brothers.
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 will I go up to my father, if the boy is not with me?— lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”
