Jenesis 44

1 Anante Josefe'a noma'afi eri'za ne'amofona anage huno asmi'ne, Beki ku'zmifina eri'zama vanaza avamente ne'zana erivite nezmantenka, zago'zmia zamente zamente ku avazare eriri zamantetere huo.

Then Joseph instructed the steward of his house, saying: “Fill their sacks with grain, as much as they are able to hold. And place each one’s money at the top of the sack.

2 Hagi Silvare kapuni'a nagana zami'mofo ku avazare eriri nentenka, witima mizase'nea zagonena eririnto, higeno eri'za ne'mo'a Josefe'ma asmiaza hu'ne.

But place my silver bowl, and the price that he gave for the wheat, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest.” And so it was done.

3 Masa hu'za nehigeno, ana vahetmina huzmantege'za donki zamine vu'naze.

And when morning arose, they were sent away with their donkeys.

4 Zamagra rankumara atre'za afete ovu'nageno, Josefe'a eri'za ne'amofona anage huno asami'ne, Otinka ana vahera zamavaririnka ome zamazerisunka anage hunka zamasmio. Na'a higeta knare'zama huma neramanteana havizana hunteta silvare kapu'a erita e'naze?

And now they had departed from the city and had set out a short distance. Then Joseph, sending for the steward of his house, said: “Rise up and pursue the men. And when you have overtaken them, say: ‘Why have you returned evil for good?

5 E'i ana kapufintira ranimo'a tinkera noneanki, henkama fore'ma hania zana ana kapufintike nege. Tamagra e'inahu'ma hazana havi tamavu'tamava hu'naze hunka ome zamasamio.

The cup that you have stolen, it is that from which my lord drinks, and in which he is accustomed to discern signs. You have done a very sinful thing.’”

6 Higeno agra zamavaririno ome zamazerino, Josefe'ma hia nanekea ome zamasamige'za,

He did as he had been ordered. And having overtaken them, he spoke to them according to the order.

7 Zamagra anage hu'za asmi'naze, Na'a higeno rantimo'a amanahu kea nehie? Eri'za vahe kamota amanahu'zana huga osu'none!

And they responded: “Why does our lord speak in this way, as though your servants had committed such a shameful act?

8 Hagi beki ku avazare'ma me'negeta zagoma haketa eriteta Kenani mopareti eritama kagrite'ma e'nonana ko. Inankna huta kagri ramofo nompintira silivao, golia musufa segahune?

The money, which we found at the top of our sacks, we carried back to you from the land of Canaan. So in what way does it follow that we would steal, from the house of your lord, gold or silver?

9 Ina eri'za vahe kamofo beki kupinti'ma hakenka eri fore hanunka, ana mofona ahe frisnanketa, tagra rantimofo kazokazo eri'za vahe manigahune.

Whichever of your servants will be found to have what you seek, may he die, and we shall be the servants of my lord.”

10 Agra anage hu'ne, Menina kema hazaza hugahue, iza'o eri'nenige'na hakena eri fore hanumo nagri kazokazo eri'za ne' manigahie. Hanki anazama osu'namota knare hu'nazankita amne vugahaze.

And he said to them: “Let it be according to your verdict. With whomever it will be found, let him be my servant, but you will be unharmed.”

11 Anage hige'za mago mago'moza ame hu'za ku'zmia hanti mopafi ante'za, eri heta hazageno,

And so, they quickly placed their sacks down to the ground, and each one was opened.

12 Josefe eri'za ne'mo'a nempu'zmimofo kuteti agafa huno haketeno vuno nagna zamimofo kute uhanatino, ana kapua Benzameni beki kupi me'negeno keno eri fore hu'ne.

And when he had searched, beginning with the oldest, all the way to the youngest, he found the cup in Benjamin’s sack.

13 Anante zamagra kukena zamia sagne nehu'za, hakarezazmia donki agumpi erinte'za ete rankumatega vu'naze.

But they, tearing their garments and burdening their donkeys again, returned to the town.

14 Anante Juda'a afuhe'zane Josefe nonte enehanati'za, Josefe'a nompinka mani'nege'za avuga mopafi ruzagani'za mase'naze.

And Judah, first among his brothers, entered to Joseph (for he had not yet departed from the place) and together they all fell down before him to the ground.

15 Josefe'a afuhe'ikizmi anage huno zamasmi'ne, na'a higeta havizana hu'naze? Tamagra ontahi'nazo, nagra kasnampa (divinesen) tro hu'na oku me'nenia'zana ke'na eri fore osugahuo?

And he said to them: “Why would you choose to act in this way? Could you be ignorant that there is no one like me in the knowledge of discerning signs?”

16 Higeno Juda'a anage hu'ne, na'ane huta ranimoka hugahune. Inankna huta hazenkea osu'none huta hugahune. Anumzamo kagri eri'za vahe'mofo kumira keno eri fore hu'ne, Antahio, kapu eri'negenka kenka eri fore hu'namo'ene tagranena ranimofo kazokzo eri'za vahe manigahune.

And Judah said to him, “What could we answer to my lord? And what would we be able to say, or to justly claim? God has discovered the iniquity of your servants. See, we have all become servants to my lord, both we, and he with whom the cup was found.”

17 Hianagi Josefe'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Nagra e'inahu'zana osugahue. Ina nemofo beki kupinti kapu ni'ama eri fore'ma hu'nemo, kazokazo eri'zana eri nantegahie. Hagi ruga'amota neramafa'ma mani'nerega tamarimpa frune vugahaze.

Joseph responded: “Far be it from me that I should act in this way. He who stole the cup, he will be my servant. But you may go away free to your father.”

18 Juda'a Josefente erava'o huno anage hu'ne, ranimoke, muse (plis) hugantoanki, knare kagri eri'za vahe'mo'na kagesafinkea hugahuo. Kagra, Fero'enena mago'zahu hu'na'anki, krimpa kna eri'za vahe kamo'na huonanto.

Then Judah, approaching closer, said confidently: “I beg you, my lord, let your servant speak a word in your ears, and do not be angry with your servant. For you are next to Pharaoh.

19 rantimoka anage hu'nane, Tamagrira neramafa'ene neramagna enena mani'neo hunka eri'za vahekamota tantahige'nane?

My lord, you questioned your servants before: ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’

20 Hanketa tagra rantimoka anage huta kasami'none, nerafa'a ranafa refinka neraganana ante'ne. Hagi nezanarera'a tare zanante'neankino nempu'amo'a frigeno, agrake mani'negeno, nefa'a tusiza huno avesinente.

And we answered you, my lord: ‘There is our father, an old man, and a young boy, who was born in his old age. His brother of the same womb has died, and he alone is left to his mother and father, who truly love him tenderly.’

21 Huta hunkenka kagra eri'za vaheka'motagura anage hu'nane, ana mofavrea avreta nagrite enke'na ka'neno hu'nane.

And you said to your servants, ‘Bring him to me, and I will set my eyes on him.’

22 Hianagi tagra ranti'mokagura anage hu'none, osi ne'mo'a nefana otregahie. Hanki nefama atreno esigeno'a nefa'a frigahie huta kasmi'none.

We suggested to my lord: ‘The boy is not able to leave his father. For if he sends him away, he will die.’

23 Hianagi kagra eri'za vahekamotagura anage hu'nane, neramagnama avreta omesuta, nagri navufina onke'gosaze.

And you said to your servants: ‘Unless your youngest brother arrives with you, you will not see my face any more.’

24 Anankema hutanketa tagra nerfa hirega kagri eri'za vahete uhanatita, rantimokama hana kea ome asmi'none.

Therefore, when we had gone up to your servant our father, we explained to him all that my lord had spoken.

25 Hagi mago'a kna evutegeno nerafa'a anage hu'ne, ete vuta mago'a ne'zana ome miza seho hu'ne.

And our father said: ‘Return and buy us a little wheat.’

26 Hianagi tagra anage hu'none, tagranema neragana'ma ovanigeta, tagra uoramigahune. Neragana'ma tagranema ovanigeta ana ne'mofo avurera ovugahune hunkeno,

And we said to him: ‘We cannot go. If our youngest brother descends with us, we will set out together. Otherwise, in his absence, we do not dare to see the face of the man.’

27 kagri eri'za vahe nerafa'a tagrikura anage hu'ne, a'nimo'ma tare ne'mofavrema kase nami'neana tamagra antahi'naze.

To which he responded: ‘You know that my wife conceived twice by me.

28 Mago'mo'a fanane hige'na nagra anage hu'noe, mago'a zagamo aheno tagana vazinegahie nehu'na, nagra mago'enena onke'noe hu'ne.

One went out, and you said, “A beast devoured him.” And since then, he has not appeared.

29 Nehuno mago'ene amanage hu'ne, Neganama avreta vanageno'ma, anahu hazenke erisigeta, nagrira efe nazokara nazeri ante henkma tesageno nasuzamo nahe frina, fri vahe kumapi (Seol) umanigahue huno hu'ne. (Sheol h7585)

If you take this one also, and anything happens to him on the way, you will lead my grey hairs down with grief to the grave.’ (Sheol h7585)

30 E'inage hu'negu kagri eri'za vahe nenfante nagra vanugeno, ana mofavrema nagrane omesiana, nenfa'a agu'amena ana mofavrefi ante'neankino,

Therefore, if I would have gone to your servant, our father, with the boy not present, (though his life depends upon the life of him)

31 ana mofavrema nagranema ovanigeno'ma kesuno'a agra frigahie. E'inama eri'za vahe ka'mona hanuna, nenfana eri'za ne' ka'a efe azokara azeri ante henkma antesugeno asuzampi mani'neno, fri vahe kumapi (Seol) umanigahie. (Sheol h7585)

and if he were to see that he is not with us, he would die, and your servants will lead his grey hairs down with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)

32 Hanki'na eri'za vahe'kamo'na anage hu'na ana nekura huvempa hu'noe, nenfaga nagrama avre'na omesugeno'a ana knazana nagrite mevava hugahie hu'na hu'noe.

Let me be your very own servant, for I accepted this one into my trust, and I promised, saying: ‘Unless I lead him back, I will be guilty of a sin against my father for all time.’

33 E'ina hu'negu muse (plis) hugantoanki natrege'na nagra eri'za vahe kamo'na neragna nona hu'na kazo kazo eri'zana ranimoka eriganta'nena, neragnana atregeno nefuzane vino.

And so I, your servant, will remain in place of the boy, in ministry to my lord, and then let the boy go up with his brothers.

34 Na'ankure asuzamo nenfana azeri haviza huzanku nentahuanagi, inankna hu'na nenfantera vugahue nenagnama ovanige'na?

For I cannot return to my father without the boy, lest I appear as a witness to the calamity that will oppress my father.”
