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.

Joseph ordered his household supervisor, “Fill the men's sacks with as much grain as they can hold and put each man's money at the top of his 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.

Then put my special silver cup at the top of the sack of the youngest, along with the money for his grain.” He did as Joseph told him.

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

At sunrise they were sent on their way 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?

They had hardly left the city when Joseph told his household supervisor, “Go after those men, and when you catch up with them, ask them, ‘Why have you paid back good with evil by stealing my master's silver cup?

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.

This is the cup he personally drinks from, and which he uses for divination. What you've done is really evil!’”

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

When he caught up with them, he told them what Joseph had said.

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

“My lord, what are you saying?” they replied. “We your servants wouldn't do anything like that!

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?

Remember that we brought back the money we found at the top of our sacks when we returned from Canaan. Why would we steal silver or gold from your master's house?

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

If any one of us is found with it, he shall die, and all of us will become your slaves.”

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.

“Whatever you say,” the man replied, “but only the one found with it will become my slave since the rest of you will be free of any blame.”

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

They all unloaded their sacks and put them on the ground. They each opened their own sacks.

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.

The household supervisor searched the sacks, beginning with the oldest and working his way down to the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

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

The brothers tore their clothes in grief. Then they loaded their sacks back on their donkeys and headed back to the city.

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

Joseph was still at home when Judah and his brothers arrived, and they fell to the ground before him.

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?

“Why did you do this?” Joseph asked. “Don't you know a man like me can find out things through divination?”

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.

“My lord, what can we say?” Judah replied. “How can we explain this to you? In what way can we prove our innocence? God has exposed the guilt of your servants. My lord, we are your slaves—all of us, including the one who was found with the cup.”

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.

“I wouldn't do anything like that!” Joseph replied. “Only the man who was found with the cup will become my slave. The rest of you are free to return 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.

Judah came closer and said to him, “If you please, my lord, let your servant just say a word. Please don't become angry with your servant, even though you are as powerful as Pharaoh himself.

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

My lord, previously you asked us, ‘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.

We told you, my lord, ‘We have an elderly father, and a younger brother, born when our father was already old. The boy's brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother's children left, and his father loves him dearly.’

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

Then you ordered us, ‘Bring him here to me so I can see 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 told you, ‘The boy can't leave his father; if he did, his father would die.’

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

But you told us, ‘If your youngest brother doesn't come with you, you won't see me again.’

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

So when we went back to your servant, our father, we explained to him everything you had told us.

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

However, later on, our father told us, ‘Go back and buy some more food.’

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

But we said, ‘There's no way we can go back unless Benjamin our youngest brother goes with us, because we won't be able to see the man if Benjamin isn't with us.’

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

Then my father said to us, ‘You realize that my wife had two sons for 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 is no more, ripped to pieces no doubt, for I've never seen him since.

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 away from me too, and something bad happens to him, you'll send this old man to his grave in grief.’ (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,

So if the boy isn't with us when I go back to my father, whose life depends on the life of the boy,

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)

as soon as he sees the boy isn't there he'll die, and we will really send this old man, our father, to his grave in grief. (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.

In fact I gave myself as the guarantee for the boy to my father. I told him, ‘If I don't bring him back to you, then I will always carry the blame!’

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.

So please let me stay here as my lord's slave instead of the boy. Let him go back home with his brothers.

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

For how could I ever go back to my father if the boy wasn't with me? I couldn't stand seeing the anguish that would cause my father.”
