Ebandeli 44
1 Jozefi apesaki mitindo epai ya moto oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya ndako na ye: « Tondisa biloko ya kolia na basaki ya bato oyo kolanda kilo oyo bakoki komema mpe tia mbongo ya moko na moko na moto ya saki na ye.
And he commaunded the rueler of his house saynge: fyll the mens sackes with food as moch as they can carie
2 Okotia kopo na ngai oyo ya palata na moto ya saki ya leki na bango ya suka elongo na mbongo na ye ya ble. » Moto yango asalaki ndenge kaka Jozefi alobaki na ye.
and put euery mans money in his bagge mouth and put my syluer cuppe in the sackes mouth of the yongest and his corne money also. And he dyd as Ioseph had sayde.
3 Na tongo-tongo, batikaki bandeko ya Jozefi kozonga elongo na ba-ane na bango.
And in ye mornynge as soone as it was lighte the me were let goo with their asses.
4 Wana babimaki na engumba, bamikomelaki nanu mosika te, Jozefi alobaki na moto oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya ndako na ye: « Telema, landa bato wana! Mpe tango okokanga bango, tuna bango: mpo na nini bozongisi mabe na malamu?
And when they were out of the cytie and not yet ferre awaye Ioseph sayde vnto the ruelar of his house: vp and folowe after the men and ouertake them and saye vnto them: wherefore haue ye rewarded euell for good?
5 Mpo na nini boyibi kopo oyo nkolo na ngai amelelaka mayi mpe asalelaka mpo na koyeba makambo oyo ekoya? Likambo oyo bosali ezali penza mabe. »
is that not the cuppe of which my lorde drynketh ad doth he not prophesie therin? ye haue euell done that ye haue done.
6 Mokambi ya ndako ya Jozefi akangaki bango mpe alobelaki bango lolenge nkolo na ye atindaki ye.
And he ouertoke them and sayde the same wordes vnto them.
7 Kasi bazongiselaki ye: — Mpo na nini nkolo na biso alobi makambo ya boye? Basali na yo bakoki kosala makambo ya boye te.
And they answered him: wherfore sayth my lorde soch wordes? God forbydd that thy servauntes shulde doo so.
8 Tomemelaki yo mbongo oyo tomonaki tango tofungolaki basaki na biso wuta na mokili ya Kanana. Ndenge nini tokoki lisusu koyiba wolo to palata kati na ndako ya nkolo na yo?
Beholde the money which we founde in oure sackes mouthes we brought agayne vnto the out of the lande of Canaa: how then shulde we steale out of my lordes house ether syluer or golde?
9 Soki moko kati na basali na yo amonani ete azali na yango, akokufa; mpe biso bamosusu oyo totikali, tokokoma bawumbu ya nkolo na biso.
with whosoeuer of thy seruauntes it be founde let him dye and let vs also be my lordes bondmen.
10 Moto oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya ndako ya Jozefi alobaki: — Malamu mingi! Tika ete ezala ndenge bolobi! Moto oyo akomonana ete azali na yango, akokoma mowumbu na ngai. Bino ba-oyo botikali, bokozala na likambo te.
And he sayde: Now therfore acordynge vnto youre woordes he with whom it is found shalbe my seruaunte: but ye shalbe harmelesse.
11 Moko na moko akitisaki saki na ye na lombangu na mabele mpe afungolaki yango.
And attonce euery man toke downe his sacke to the grounde ad every man opened his sacke.
12 Moto oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya Jozefi abandaki koluka kobanda na kulutu kino na leki. Mpe kopo emonanaki na saki ya Benjame.
And he serched and began at the eldest and left at the yongest. And the cuppe was founde in Ben Iamins sacke.
13 Tango bamonaki bongo, bapasolaki bilamba na bango; bazongisaki biloko na ba-ane na bango mpe bazongaki bango nyonso na engumba.
Then they rent their clothes and laded euery man his asse and went agayne vnto the cytie.
14 Jozefi azalaki kaka na ndako. Tango Yuda na bandeko na ye ya mibali bakotaki na ndako, bagumbamaki kino na se liboso na ye.
And Iuda and his brethre came to Iosephs house for he was yet there ad they fell before him on the grounde.
15 Jozefi alobaki na bango: — Likambo nini oyo bosali? Boyebi te ete moto lokola ngai nazali na makoki ya komona makambo na bosoloka?
And Ioseph sayde vnto the: what dede is this which ye haue done? wist ye not that soch a man as I can prophesie?
16 Yuda azongisaki: — Likambo nini tokoki koloba na nkolo na ngai? Tokoloba lisusu nini? Ndenge nini tokoki kotalisa ete toyebi likambo te? Nzambe alakisi polele mbeba ya basali na yo. Tokomi sik’oyo bawumbu ya nkolo na ngai, biso nyonso elongo na ye oyo amonani ete azalaki na kopo kati na saki na ye.
Then sayde Iuda: what shall we saye vnto my lorde what shall we speake or what excuse can we make? God hath founde out ye wekednesse of thy seruauntes. Beholde both we and he with whom the cuppe is founde are thy seruauntes.
17 Kasi Jozefi alobaki: — Nakoki kosala likambo ya boye te! Kaka moto oyo amonani ete azalaki na kopo kati na saki na ye nde akozala mowumbu na ngai. Bino ba-oyo botikali, bozonga na kimia epai ya tata na bino.
And he answered: God forbyd ye I shulde do so the man with whom the cuppe is founde he shalbe my seruaunte: but goo ye in peace vn to youre father.
18 Yuda apusanaki pembeni na ye mpe alobaki: — Nabondeli yo, nkolo na ngai! Tika ete mosali na yo aloba liloba moko epai ya nkolo na ngai. Kosilikela mosali na yo te, pamba te ndenge Faraon azali, ndenge wana mpe yo ozali.
Then Iuda went vnto him and sayde: oh my lorde let thy servaunte speake a worde in my lordes audyence and be not wrooth with thi servaunte: for thou art euen as Pharao.
19 Nkolo na ngai atunaki basali na ye: « Bozali na tata to na ndeko mosusu ya mobali? »
My lorde axed his seruaunte sainge: haue ye a father or a brother?
20 Tozongiselaki nkolo na ngai: « Tozali na tata oyo akomi mobange mpe ndeko mobali ya leki oyo babotelaki tata na biso na kimobange. Ndeko na ye ya mobali akufa mpe atikala kaka ye moko mwana mobali na libumu ya mama na ye, mpe tata na ye alingaka ye mingi. »
And we answered my lord we haue a father that is old and a yonge lad which he begat in his age: ad the brother of the sayde lad is dead and he is all that is left of that mother. And his father loueth him.
21 Bongo olobaki na basali na yo: « Bomemela ngai ye mpo ete nakoka komona ye na miso na ngai. »
Then sayde my lorde vnto his seruauntes brynge him vnto me that I maye sett myne eyes apon him.
22 Tozongiselaki nkolo na ngai: « Elenge mobali akoki kotika tata na ye te; soki atiki ye, tata na ye akokufa. »
And we answered my lorde that the lad coude not goo from his father for if he shulde leaue his father he were but a deed man.
23 Kasi olobaki na basali na yo: « Soki leki na bino ya mobali ayei elongo na bino te, bokomona lisusu elongi na ngai te. »
Than saydest thou vnto thy servauntes: excepte youre yongest brother come with you loke that ye se my face no moare.
24 Tango tozongaki epai ya mosali na yo, tata na ngai, toyebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo nkolo na ngai alobaki.
And when we came vnto thy servaunt oure father we shewed him what my lorde had sayde.
25 Bongo tata na biso alobaki: « Bozonga mpe bosomba ndambo ya biloko ya kolia. »
And when oure father sayde vnto vs goo agayne and bye vs a litle fode:
26 Kasi tozongisaki: « Tokoki kokende te. Tokokende kaka soki leki na biso ya mobali azali elongo na biso. Tokoki komona elongi ya moto wana te soki leki na biso ya mobali azali elongo na biso te. »
we sayd yt we coude not goo. Neverthelesse if oure youngeste brother go with vs then will we goo for we maye not see the mannes face excepte oure yongest brother be with vs.
27 Mosali na yo, tata na biso, alobaki na biso: « Boyebi ete mwasi na ngai, Rasheli, abotelaki ngai bana mibale ya mibali.
Then sayde thy servaunt oure father vnto vs. Ye knowe that my wyfe bare me. ij. sonnes.
28 Moko na bango akenda mosika na ngai. Nakanisi ete ezali ya solo, nyama moko ya mabe esila kolia ye. Banda tango wana, natikala komona ye lisusu te.
And the one went out from me and it is sayde of a suertie that he is torne in peaces of wyld beastes and I sawe him not sence.
29 Soki bozwi ngai lisusu mwana oyo mpe soki likama ekweyeli ye, bokoboma ngai na pasi, na kimobange na ngai. » (Sheol h7585)
Yf ye shall take this also awaye fro me and some mysfortune happen apon him then shall ye brynge my gray heed with sorow vnto the grave. (Sheol h7585)
30 Sik’oyo, soki elenge mobali azali elongo na biso te tango nakozonga epai ya tata na ngai, mosali na yo, mpe soki tata na ngai, oyo motema na ye ekangama makasi na motema ya elenge mobali oyo,
Now therfore whe I come to thy servaunt my father yf the lad be not with me: seinge that his lyfe hageth by the laddes lyfe
31 amoni ete elenge mobali azali elongo na biso te, wana akokufa. Basali na yo bakoboma tata na biso na pasi na kimobange na ye. (Sheol h7585)
then as soone as he seeth that the lad is not come he will dye. So shall we thy servautes brynge the gray hedde of thy servaunt oure father with sorow vnto the grave. (Sheol h7585)
32 Pamba te ngai mosali na yo, nandimaki, na miso ya tata na ngai, kobatela elenge mobali oyo. Nalobaki: « Soki nazongiseli yo ye te, nakozala na ngambo liboso na yo tata na ngai, bomoi na ngai mobimba. »
For I thy servaunt became suertie for the lad vnto my father and sayde: yf I bringe him not vnto the agayne. I will bere the blame all my life loge.
33 Yango wana sik’oyo, nabondeli yo, tika ete mosali na yo akoma mowumbu ya nkolo na ngai na esika ya elenge mobali oyo mpe tika ete elenge mobali azonga elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali.
Now therfore let me thy servaunt byde here for ye lad and be my lordes bondman: and let the lad goo home with his brethern.
34 Ndenge nini nakoki kozonga epai ya tata na ngai soki elenge mobali azali elongo na ngai te? Kotika te ete namona pasi oyo ekokomela tata na ngai!
For how can I goo vnto my father and the lad not wyth me: lest I shulde see the wretchednes that shall come on my father.
