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 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 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 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 Toangna in lotu tok ah supweyukla tamulel ekasr ah wi donkey natulos.
The morning dawned, and 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 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 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?’”
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 Ke mwet kulansap sac sonolos, el fahkang kas inge nu selos.
And he found them, and spoke to them according to these 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 to him, Why does our lord speak according to these words? far be it from your servants to do according to this word.
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?
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 Leum se, fin koneyukyak ma ingan sin sie sesr, lela in anwuki mwet sac, ac kut saya uh ac fah mwet kohs lom.”
With whoever of your servants you shall find the cup, let him die; and, moreover, we will be servants to our lord.
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 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 Ouinge elos sulaklak na sruhkya pak lalos uh, ac kais sie selos ikasla pak lal.
And they hasted, and took down every man his sack on the ground, and they 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, beginning from the oldest, until he came to the youngest; and he found the cup 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.
And they tore their garments, and laid each man his sack on 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 Judas and his brethren came in to Joseph, while he was yet there, and fell on the ground before him.
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 to them, What is this thing that you have done? know you not that a man such as I can surely 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 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 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 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 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.
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 Leum luk, kom tuh kusen siyuk nu sesr meet ac fahk, ‘Ku oasr papa tomomtal, ku tamulel lomtal saya?’
Sir, you asked your servants, saying, Have you 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 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 Leum luk, kom tuh fahk nu sesr mu kut in usalu nu inge kom in tuh liyal.
And you said to they servants, Bring him down to me, and I will take care of 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 to [my] lord, The child will not be able to leave his father; but if he should leave his father, he will die.
23 Na kom tuh fahk, ‘Komtal tia ku in sifilpa utyak nu ye mutuk tamulel fusr se lomtal an fin tia wi komtal.’
But you said to they servants, Except your younger brother come down with you, you shall not see my face again.
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 went up to your servant our father, we reported to him the words of our 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 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 Na papa tumasr ah fahk, ‘Komtal etu na lah Rachel, mutan kiuk, el tuh oswela wen luo na nu sik.
And your servant our father said to us, You know that my wife bore 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 one is departed from me; and you said that he was devoured of wild beasts, and I have not seen him until now.
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)
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 “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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, the lad not being with us? lest I behold the evils which will befall my father.
