Genesis 44
1 Inatasan ni Jose ang katiwala ng kanyang bahay, sinabing, “Punuin mo ang sako ng mga lalaki ng pagkain, hangga't sa makakaya nilang buhatin, at ilagay ang bawat pera ng lalaki sa ibabaw ng kanyang sako.
And he commands him who [is] over his house, saying, “Fill the bags of the men [with] food, as they are able to carry, and put the money of each in the mouth of his bag;
2 Ilagay ang aking baso, ang pilak na baso, sa ibabaw ng sako ng bunso, at ganoon din ang kanyang pera para sa butil.” Ginawa ng katiwala ang sinabi ni Jose.
and my cup, the silver cup, you put in the mouth of the bag of the young one, and his grain-money”; and he does according to the word of Joseph which he has spoken.
3 Nang nagbubukang-liwayway na, at ang mga lalaki ay pinaalis na, sila at ang kanilang mga asno.
The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their donkeys—
4 Nang sila ay nakalabas sa lungsod subalit hindi pa nakakalayo, sinabi ni Jose sa kanyang katiwala, “Tumayo ka, sundan mo ang mga lalaki, at kung maabutan mo sila, sabihin mo sa kanila, 'Bakit ninyo sinuklian ng kasamaan ang kabutihan?
they have gone out of the city—they have not gone far off—and Joseph has said to him who [is] over his house, “Rise, pursue after the men; and you have overtaken them, and you have said to them: Why have you repaid evil for good?
5 Hindi ba ito ang baso mula sa iniinuman ng aking amo, at ang baso na ginagamit niya para sa kanyang panghuhula? Gumawa kayo ng masama, ang bagay na ito na inyong ginawa.”'
Is this not that with which my lord drinks? And he observes diligently with it; you have done evil [in] that which you have done.”
6 Naabutan sila ng katiwala at sinabi ang mga salitang ito sa kanila.
And he overtakes them, and speaks to them these words,
7 Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Bakit po sinasabi ng aking amo ang ganitong mga salita? Malayong gawin ng inyong mga lingkod ang bagay na iyan.
and they say to him, “Why does my lord speak according to these words? Far be it from your servants to do according to this word;
8 Tingnan ninyo, ang pera na nakita sa aming mga sako, ay muli naming dinala sa inyo sa labas ng lupain ng Canaan. Paano naman namin nanakawin mula sa tahanan ng inyong amo ang pilak o ginto?
behold, the money which we found in the mouth of our bags we brought back to you from the land of Canaan, and how do we steal from the house of your lord silver or gold?
9 Kung sinuman sa inyong lingkod ang makitaan, hayaan mo siyang mamatay, at kami rin ay magiging mga alipin ng aming amo.”
With whomsoever of your servants it is found, he has died, and we also are to my lord for servants.”
10 Sinabi ng katiwala, “Ngayon rin hayaang magkaganoon ayon sa iyong mga salita. Siya na mahanapan ng baso ay magiging alipin ko, at ang iyong mga kapatid ay mapapawalangsala.”
And he says, “Now also, according to your words, so it [is]; he with whom it is found becomes my servant, and you are acquitted”;
11 At nagmamadali ang bawat lalaki at dinala ang kanilang sako pababa sa lupa, at binuksan ng bawat lalaki ang kanilang mga sako.
and they hurry and take down each his bag to the earth, and each opens his bag;
12 Naghanap ang katiwala. Nagsimula siya sa pinaka-panganay at natapos sa bunso, at nahanap ang baso sa sako ni Benjamin.
and he searches—at the eldest he has begun, and at the youngest he has completed—and the cup is found in the bag of Benjamin;
13 Pagkatapos pinunit nila ang kanilang mga damit. Nilagay ng bawat lalaki ang kanilang asno at bumalik sa lungsod.
and they tear their garments, and each loads his donkey, and they return to the city.
14 Si Juda at ang kanyang mga kapatid ay pumunta sa tahanan ni Jose. Siya ay nanatili pa roon, at sila'y yumuko sa lupa sa harapan nito.
And Judah and his brothers come to the house of Joseph, and he is yet there, and they fall to the earth before him;
15 Sinabi ni Jose sa kanila, “Ano itong ginagawa ninyo? Hindi ba ninyo alam na ang lalaking tulad ko ay bihasa sa panghuhula?”
and Joseph says to them, “What [is] this deed that you have done? Have you not known that a man like me diligently observes?”
16 Sinabi ni Juda, “Ano ang maari naming sabihin sa inyo aming amo? O kaya, paano namin maipagtatanggol ang aming sarili? Nalaman ng Diyos ang kasalanan ng iyong mga lingkod. Tingnan ninyo, kami ay alipin na ng aming amo, kami at siyang nahanapan ng baso.”
And Judah says, “What do we say to my lord? What do we speak? And how do we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we [are] servants to my lord, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found”;
17 Sinabi ni Jose, “Malayong gawin ko iyan. Ang lalaking nahanapan ng baso sa kanyang kamay, ang lalaking iyon rin ang magiging alipin ko, subalit ang mga iba ay makakauwi na ng mapayapa sa inyong ama.”
and he says, “Far be it from me to do this; the man in whose hand the cup has been found, he becomes my servant; and you, go up in peace to your father.”
18 Pagkatapos lumapit si Juda sa kanya at sinabing, “Aking amo pakiusap, pahintulutan po ninyo akong makapagsalita sa pandinig ng aking amo, at huwag hayaang umapoy sa galit laban sa iyong alipin, sapagkat katulad ka ni Paraon.
And Judah comes near to him and says, “O my lord, please let your servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not let your anger burn against your servant—for you are as Pharaoh.
19 Ang aking amo ay nagtanong sa kanyang mga lingkod, sinasabing, 'Mayroon pa ba kayong ama o kapatid?
My lord has asked his servants, saying, Do you have a father or brother?
20 At sinabi namin sa aming amo, 'Mayroon kaming matandang ama, at anak niya sa kanyang katandaan, isang bunso. At patay na ang kanyang kuya, at siya ay nag-iisa na lamang na naiwan mula sa kanyang ina, at mahal na mahal siya ng kanyang ama.'
And we say to my lord, We have a father, an aged one, and a child of old age, a little one; and his brother died, and he is left alone of his mother, and his father has loved him.
21 At sinabi mo sa iyong mga lingkod, 'Dalhin ninyo siya rito sa akin para makita ko siya.'
And you say to your servants, Bring him down to me, and I set my eye on him;
22 At sinabi namin sa aming amo, 'Hindi kayang iwan ng bata ang kanyang ama. Sapagkat kung iiwan niya ang kaniyang ama ikamamatay ito ng kanyang ama.'
and we say to my lord, The youth is not able to leave his father, when he has left his father, then he has died;
23 At sinabi mo sa iyong mga lingkod, 'Kung hindi ninyo kasama pababa ang bunso ninyong kapatid, hindi na ninyo muli makikita ang aking mukha.'
and you say to your servants, If your young brother does not come down with you, you do not add to see my face.
24 At nangyari nga nang kami ay nakabalik sa aking ama na iyong mga lingkod, isinalaysay namin sa kanya ang mga salita ng aming amo.
And it comes to pass, that we have come up to your servant my father, that we declare to him the words of my lord;
25 At sinabi ng aming ama, 'Umalis kayo muli, bumili kayo ng ilang makakain.'
and our father says, Return, buy for us a little food,
26 At sinabi namin, 'Hindi na kami makabababa. Kung kasama namin ang aming nakababatang kapatid, kami ay makakaalis pababa, sapagkat hindi na kami hahayaan na makita pa muli ang mukha ng lalaki kung hindi namin kasama ang bunso naming kapatid.'
and we say, We are not able to go down; if our young brother is with us, then we have gone down; for we are not able to see the man’s face, and our young brother not with us.
27 Sinabi ng aking ama na iyong lingkod, 'Alam ninyong dalawa lamang ang ipinanganak ng aking asawa.
And your servant my father says to us, You have known that my wife bore two to me,
28 At ang isa ay nawala mula sa akin at sinabi ko. “Talaga ngang siya ay nagkapira-piraso, at hindi ko na siya nakita mula noon.”
and one goes out from me, and I say, Surely he is torn—torn! And I have not seen him since;
29 At kung kukunin rin ninyo itong isa sa akin at muling mapahamak, dadalhin ninyo ako sa katandaan na puno ng dalamhati sa kamatayan.' (Sheol h7585)
when you have taken also this from my presence, and harm has met him, then you have brought down my grey hairs with evil to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
30 Kaya ngayon, kung pupunta ako sa aking ama na inyong alipin, at hindi ko kasama ang bata, sapagkat ang kanyang buhay ay karugtong na ng buhay ng batang lalaki,
And now, at my coming to your servant my father, and the youth not with us (and his soul is bound up in his soul),
31 kapag ito ay nangyari, na hindi niya makita na kasama namin ang bata siguradong ikamamatay niya ito. At ang iyong alipin ay magiging dahilan ng pagdurusa ng ama ng iyong alipin sa kamatayan. (Sheol h7585)
then it has come to pass, when he sees that the youth is not, that he has died, and your servants have brought down the grey hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol; (Sheol h7585)
32 Sapagkat ang iyong alipin ang katiyakan sa bata para sa aking ama at sinabi kong, 'Kung hindi ko madadala ang bata sa iyo, papasanin ko ang kasalanan magpakailanman sa aking ama.
for your servant obtained the youth by guarantee to my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you—then I have sinned against my father all the days.
33 Kaya ngayon, ako po ay nagmamakaawa hayaang manatili ang iyong lingkod sa halip na ang bata ang maging alipin ng aking amo, at hayaang makabalik ang bata kasama ng kanyang mga kapatid.
And now, please let your servant abide instead of the youth [as] a servant to my lord, and the youth goes up with his brothers,
34 Sapagkat paano ako makakabalik sa aking ama kung hindi ko kasama ang bata? Natatakot akong makita ang masamang mangyayari sa aking ama.”
for how do I go up to my father, and the youth not with me? Lest I look on the evil which finds my father.”
