Genesis 44
1 Joseph el sapkin nu sin mwet kulansap se su taran ma nukewa in lohm sel ah, ac fahk, “Nwakla pak lun mwet inge ke mwe mongo nwe ke na arulana sessesla, ac likiya mani lun kais sie oelucng in pak lal an.
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 Filiya cup silver se luk ah oelucng in pak lun tamulel fusr sac, wi mani in wheat lal an.” Ac mwet sac orala oana ke fwackyang nu sel.
And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
3 Toangna in lotu tok ah supweyukla tamulel ekasr ah wi donkey natulos.
As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
4 Ke elos som ac srakna fototo nu ke siti uh, na Joseph el fahk nu sin mwet kulansap se lal ah, “Sulaklak fahsrot tukun mwet ekasr ah. Kom fin sonoltal, kom siyuk seltal, ‘Efu ku komtal oru ma koluk sang moli ma wo?
[And] when they were gone out of the city, [and] 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 Efu ku komtal pisrala cup silver se lun mwet kacto se luk ah? Cup se ingan ma el nimnim kac ac orekmakin nu ke susfa lal ah. Ma na koluk se pa komtal orala inge?’”
[Is] not this [it] in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
6 Ke mwet kulansap sac sonolos, el fahkang kas inge nu selos.
And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
7 Elos topkol ac fahk, “Leum se, mea kom fahk ingan? Kut tia etu lah mea kom fahk an. Kut fulahk lah wanginna kain ouiya ingan kut oru.
And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
8 Kom etu na lah kut folokonma mani ma kut tuh konauk in pak lasr ah oe Canaan me nu sum. Na efu ku kut in pisre silver ku gold liki in lohm sin mwet kacto lom?
Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?
9 Leum se, fin koneyukyak ma ingan sin sie sesr, lela in anwuki mwet sac, ac kut saya uh ac fah mwet kohs lom.”
With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen.
10 Ac mwet sac fahk, “Nga insese nu kac, tusruktu mwet se na ma srukak cup sac ac fah mwet kohs luk, ac kowos su saya an sukosok in som.”
And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
11 Ouinge elos sulaklak na sruhkya pak lalos uh, ac kais sie selos ikasla pak lal.
Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
12 Mwet kulansap se lal Joseph ah iluhsya pak lalos inge, mutawauk ke el su matu nu ke el su fusr, ac cup sac koneoyukyak in pak lal Benjamin.
And he searched, [and] began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
13 Tamulel ekasr ah seseya nuknuk lalos ke asor, srakang pak lalos nu fin donkey natulos, ac folokla nu in siti ah.
Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
14 Ke Judah ac mwet lel elos tuku nu lom sel Joseph, Joseph el srakna oasr we. Elos pasrla ye mutal nwe infohk uh,
And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he [was] yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
15 ac Joseph el fahk, “Mea komtal oru angan an? Ya komtal nikin lah kain mwet se nga uh ku in konauk ma komtal oru uh ke susfa?”
And Joseph said unto them, What deed [is] this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
16 Na Judah el fahk, “Leum se, mea kut ku in fahk nu sum? Kas fuka kut ac fahk in aksuwosye kut? Kut ac tulekutla fuka? God El akkalemyela ma koluk lasr. Kut nukewa inge ac fah mwet kohs lom, ac tia el na su koneyukyak cup sac yoro.”
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 servants, both we, and [he] also with whom the cup is found.
17 Joseph el fahk, “Mo na mo! Nga tia ku in oru angan! Mwet se na ma cup sac oan yoro an pa ac mwet kohs luk uh. Ac komtal saya an ku in folokla nu yurin papa tomomtal in misla.”
And he said, God forbid that I should do so: [but] the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
18 Judah el kalukyang nu yorol Joseph ac fahk, “Leum luk, nunak munas, lela nu sik in fahk nunak luk. Nimet kasrkusrak sik. Kom oapana tokosra.
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 Leum luk, kom tuh kusen siyuk nu sesr meet ac fahk, ‘Ku oasr papa tomomtal, ku tamulel lomtal saya?’
My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
20 Ac kut topuk ac fahk, ‘Aok, oasr papa tumasr su arulana matuoh, ac tamulel fusr se su isusyang nu sel ke el matu. Tamulel lun tulik fusr se inge misa, ac tulik se inge mukena srakna moul sin tulik nutin nina kial. Papa tumal ah arulana nunkal yohk.’
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 Leum luk, kom tuh fahk nu sesr mu kut in usalu nu inge kom in tuh liyal.
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
22 Ac kut topuk mu tulik sac tia ku in som liki ye mutun papa tumal ah. El fin som lukel, papa sac ku na in misa.
And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for [if] he should leave his father, [his father] would die.
23 Na kom tuh fahk, ‘Komtal tia ku in sifilpa utyak nu ye mutuk tamulel fusr se lomtal an fin tia wi komtal.’
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
24 “Ke kut tuh folokla nu yurin papa tumasr ah, kut fahkang nu sel ma kom fahk ah.
And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25 Na el fahk mu kut in sifilpa foloko moli kutu mongo.
And our father said, Go again, [and] buy us a little food.
26 Ac kut topkol ac fahk, ‘Kut tia ku in som, mweyen kut ac tuh kofla utyak nu ye mutun mwet sac tamulel fusr se lasr inge fin tia wi kut. El fin twe wi kut, kut fah ku in som.’
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 Na papa tumasr ah fahk, ‘Komtal etu na lah Rachel, mutan kiuk, el tuh oswela wen luo na nu sik.
And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two [sons: ]
28 Sie seltal som likiyu tari. Sahp el eiyuki sin kosro sulallal, mweyen nga soenna sifil liyalak tukun el som ah nwe inge.
And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
29 Na komtal fin usalla pac el uh ac oasr kutu ma sikyak nu sel, na asor ma komtal orala nu sik uh ac ku na in uniyuwi, ke nga matuoh inge.’ (Sheol h7585)
And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
30 “Ke ma inge, leum luk, nga fin folokla nu yurin papa tumuk, mwet kulansap lom, ac tulik se inge tia wi kut, na in oana ke moul lal uh arulana fulyang nu sin tulik se inge uh,
Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad [be] not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;
31 el fin liye lah tulik sac tia wi kut, el ac misa. Ac kut, mwet kulansap lom inge, pa ac oru tuh papa tumasr su matuoh in pacl inge elan misa ke asor lal. (Sheol h7585)
It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad [is] not [with us], that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
32 Saya pacna, nga tuh wuleang ke moul luk nu sin papa tumuk ke tulik se inge. Nga tuh fahk nu sel mu nga fin tia folokunla tulik se inge nu yorol, na mwata uh ac fah oan fuk in moul luk nufon.
For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
33 Ke ma inge, leum luk, nunak munas, lela nu sik in muta aol tulik se inge mwet kohs lom. Fuhlella elan wi tamulel lal inge som.
Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
34 Nga ac folokla fuka nu yurin papa tumuk, tulik mukul se inge fin tia wiyu? Nga tia ku in ngetang liye ongoiya se inge fin sonol papa.”
For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad [be] not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
