Dud'uit Fefeu' a 44
1 Ara raa basa ma, Yusuf naꞌauꞌutuꞌ malangga mana tao ues na nae, “We! Muu ombo are neu atahori ia ra karon nara losa sofe se. Ma tao baliꞌ doi nara nisiꞌ esa-esaꞌ karon na rala.
He enjoined the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
2 Boe ma haꞌi mala au mok lilo fula ngga, fo tao nisiꞌ ana muriꞌ a karon na.” De ana neu tao tungga Yusuf parenda na.
Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money.” He did according to the word that Joseph [May he add] had spoken.
3 Mbila fefetu ana na, Yusuf mboꞌi se lao baliꞌ rendi nanaat no keledei nara.
As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
4 Ara nda feꞌe raꞌadooꞌ kamboꞌ sa ma, Yusuf nafadꞌe malangga mana tao ues na nae, “Muu tungga atahori naa ra lai-lai. Mete ma hambu se, naa, mufadꞌe maꞌo ia: ‘Taꞌo bee de rala mara deꞌulakaꞌ mbali toulasiꞌ a? Losa hei balas malole na mo deꞌulakaꞌ taꞌo ia.
When they had gone out of the city, and was not yet far off, Joseph [May he add] said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, ‘Why have you rewarded evil for good?
5 Taꞌo bee de loi mendi malangga mok lilo fula na? Hei nda bubꞌuluꞌ sa, do? Naa nda akaꞌ a mok nininuꞌ sa. Ana o sangga atahori uanale nara nendiꞌ mok naa. Naa mok mahineꞌ! Hei tatao mara ia, deꞌulaka na seli ma!’”
Is not this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.’”
6 Basa de, malangga mana tao ues neu tungga de hambu se. Ana nafadꞌe se, tungga Yusuf oꞌola na.
He overtook them, and he spoke these words to them.
7 Ara rataa rae, “Amaꞌ masud na taꞌo bee ia? Hai sumba. Hai nda tao deꞌulakaꞌ taꞌo naa sa.
They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing!
8 Amaꞌ bubꞌuluꞌ, to? Doi-doiꞌ mana mia karon rala faiꞌ naa, hai fee baliꞌ neu amaꞌ, to? De taꞌo bee de hai loi malangga lilo fula na mia umen fai. Hokoꞌ o!
Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan [Humbled]. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house?
9 Amaꞌ paresaꞌ neuꞌ ena. Hambu sia seka karon na, naa hukun misa e leo. Ma hai ruma dadꞌi ate ma.”
With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.”
10 Malangga mana tao ues a nae, “Hokoꞌ! Taꞌo ia. Mete ma hambu mok sia seka, naa, ana dadꞌi au ate ngga. Ruma baliꞌ.”
He said, “Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found will be my slave; and you will be blameless.”
11 Boe ma ara raꞌondaꞌ karon naa ra lai-lai, de sefi se.
Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
12 Malangga mana tao ues a paresaꞌ lutu-leloꞌ karon naa ra esa-esaꞌ, mia aꞌa ka karon na, losa odꞌiꞌ a ena na. De ana hambu mok lilo fulaꞌ mia Benyamin karon na.
He searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin [Son of right hand, Son of south]’s sack.
13 Boe ma Benyamin aꞌa nara rala nara rambalulutu. De ara fua baliꞌ karon naa ra keledei ata reu, ma baliꞌ kambo reu.
Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.
14 Losa Yusuf ume na boe, ana feꞌe sia naa. De ara sendeꞌ lululangga nara neu mata na.
Judah [Praised] and his brothers came to Joseph [May he add]’s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.
15 Yusuf bua se nae, “He! Taꞌo bee de hei tao onaꞌ ia neu au. Hei nda mihine mae atahori monaen onaꞌ au ia, sangga atahori rahasia na endiꞌ mahineꞌ naa sa, do?”
Joseph [May he add] said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed divine?”
16 Yahuda nataa nae, “Awi! Lamatualain natudꞌu hai sala mara ena. Hai mae saa fai, amaꞌ? Hai mae misilaꞌe ao ma, onaꞌ bee fai. Mete ma amaꞌ nae hela hai odꞌi muri ma ia, naa, malole lenaꞌ amaꞌ hela basa hai. Haꞌi mala basa hai dadꞌi ate ma.”
Judah [Praised] said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? Or how will we clear ourselves? God has found out the depravity (moral evil) of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.”
17 Yusuf nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ! Hambu mok a sia seka e, na eni mana dadꞌi au ate ngga. Hei ruma, nenemboꞌit. Baliꞌ misiꞌ ama ma leo!”
He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”
18 Yahuda neu deka-deka no Yusuf, de olaꞌ nae, “Ama fetor! Au bubꞌuluꞌ amaꞌ koasa na onaꞌ maneꞌ a boe. Huu naa, de afiꞌ mumunasa au dei. Au oꞌe ola-olaꞌ mbei o amaꞌ.
Then Judah [Praised] came near to him, and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.
19 Maꞌahulu na amaꞌ natane hai mae, ‘Hai ama ma no odꞌi ma esa feꞌe sia, do?’
My lord asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father, or a brother?’
20 Hai mitaa mae, ‘Hai ama ma lasiꞌ ena. Boe ma odꞌi muri ma, esa. Leleꞌ bꞌonggi e, hai ama ma lasiꞌ ena. Aꞌa bꞌonggi na esaꞌ a, te ana nese ena. Ruꞌa se ina na mate ena. De ia naa, helaꞌ a mesaꞌ ne. Naa de, hai ama ma sue nala e seli.’
We said to 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 'ahav ·affectionately loves· him.’
21 Basa de, amaꞌ denu hai mo e, fo mita e.
You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’
22 Te hai mitaa mae, anaꞌ naa nda lao hela ama na sa. Mete ma ana lao hela e, naa, hai ama ma mate, neuꞌ ena.
We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’
23 Boe ma amaꞌ nataa nae, ‘Mete ma hei nda mendi odꞌi ma sa, naa, hei nda bisa mita mata ngga sa ena.’
You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’
24 Basa de hai baliꞌ. Mifadꞌe basa amaꞌ oꞌola na neu hai ama ma.
When we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25 Dꞌoo-dꞌoo ma, hai nanaa mara basa boe. De hai ama ma denu ima hasa seluꞌ nanaat fai.
Our father said, ‘Go again, buy us a little food.’
26 Hai mitaa seluꞌ mae, ‘Amaꞌ e! Hai nda mi sia naa sa. Te fetor a, nafadꞌe ena, mete ma hai nda mo odꞌi muriꞌ a sa, naa, hai sudꞌi mindaa mo e. Dadꞌi hai odꞌi muri ma musi tungga, dei fo hai feꞌe lao naa.’
We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’
27 Hai ama ma olaꞌ fai nae, ‘Hei bubꞌuluꞌ, to? Au sao ngga Rahel, ana na akaꞌ ruaꞌ a.
Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons:
28 Ana uluꞌ a nese ena. Banda fui ra raa hendi ena. Naa de, losa faiꞌ ia au nda undaa o e sa.
and the one went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces;” and I haven’t seen him since.
29 Mete ma hei haꞌi mala ana muriꞌ ia mia au fai, boe ma ana taꞌo esa naa, hei boe tao miꞌisususaꞌ au lasiꞌ ia, de au mate neuꞌ ena.’ (Sheol h7585)
If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol ·Place of the dead·.’ (Sheol h7585)
Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;
31 De onaꞌ naa, ama fetor. Mete ma au baliꞌ isiꞌ ama ngga, nda o baliꞌ odꞌi muriꞌ ia sa, naa, hai ama ma mate neuꞌ ena, huu rala na esa no anaꞌ naa. Ana namalasi seli ena, naa de mete ma hai boe tao miꞌisususaꞌ e, naa, ana mate neuꞌ ena. (Sheol h7585)
it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol ·Place of the dead·. (Sheol h7585)
32 Boe ma au o helu ama ngga, au mana o baliꞌ anaꞌ naa. Au helu ae, mete ma nda o baliꞌ anaꞌ ia sa, naa au tanggon salaꞌ losa mate.
For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the sin ·err (the standard goal)· before my father forever.’
33 Dadꞌi au oꞌe taꞌo ia, amaꞌ: Au leo uhatiꞌ a ia nggati e, fo dadꞌi amaꞌ ate na. Hela e baliꞌ no aꞌa nara.
Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, my lord’s slave; and let the boy go up with his brothers.
34 Mete ma anaꞌ naa nda tungga sa, naa, au o nda baliꞌ saa boe. Au nda nau ita ama ngga doidꞌoso losa mate sa.”
For how will I go up to my father, if the boy is not with me?— lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”
