1And 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.
1 Kal a ci nga windo jine funa se ka ne: «Ma borey wo hawgarey toonandi nda ŋwaari, haŋ kaŋ me i almaney ga hin ka jare. Ni m'i boro kulu nooro daŋ a hawgara me gaa.
2And 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.
2 Ni m'ay nzarfu gaasiya daŋ i koda hawgara me gaa, nga nda a ŋwaari nooro kulu.» A te mo danga mate kaŋ Yusufu ci nga se din.
3As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
3 Kaŋ mo sintin ka bo, i na borey sallama, ngey da ngey farkayey.
4And 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?
4 Kala saaya kaŋ i fatta kwaara ra, i mana baa mooray fo te jina, Yusufu ne nga jine funa se: «Tun ka borey din ce gana. Da ni to r'ey, ma ne i se: ‹Ifo se no araŋ na gomni bana nda laala?
5Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
5 Manti a ra no ay koyo ga haŋ, da wo kaŋ a ga bayray ceeci nd'a mo Irikoy do? Araŋ na taali te, za kaŋ araŋ na woone te.› »
6And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
6 A n'i to, a na sanni woodin yaŋ ci i se mo.
7And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
7 I ne a se: «Ifo se no iri koyo ga sanni woone dumi te? Irikoy ma ni bannyey waa i ma hari woodin dumi te!
8Behold, 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?
8 A go, noorey kaŋ iri gar iri hawgarey me gaa Kanaana laabu, iri ye ka kand'ey ni se. Mate se no iri ga wura wala nzarfu zay iri koyo windo ra?
9With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
9 Ni bannyey wo ra boro kulu kaŋ i n'a gar a do, a ma bu. Iri ma ciya ay koyo se bannyayaŋ mo.»
10And 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.
10 A ne: «Naŋ a ma ciya yaadin, araŋ ciyaŋo boŋ: bora kaŋ do i n'a gar ma ciya ay bannya, amma araŋ wo, araŋ sinda taali.»
11Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
11 Saaya din ra i waasu, boro kulu na nga hawgara zumandi ganda zama nga m'a fiti.
12And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
12 Kala jine funa soobay ka guna. A sintin za ibeero do ka kokor ikayna do. I na gaasiya gar Benyamin hawgara ra.
13Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
13 Waato din gaa i na ngey bankaarayey tooru-tooru*. Boro kulu na nga jeja haw nga farka gaa. I ye kwaara do.
14And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
14 Yahuda nda nga nya-izey kaa Yusufu windo ra. A go noodin jina. I ganda biri a jine.
15And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
15 Yusufu ne i se: «Ifo no araŋ te wo? Araŋ mana bay kaŋ boro danga ay cine, daahir a ga waani gunayaŋ bo?»
16And 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.
16 Yahuda ne: «Ifo no iri ga ci iri koyo se? Ifo no iri ga ne? Mate no iri ga iri boŋ adilandi* nd'a koyne? Irikoy no ka ni bannyey laala kaa taray. A go, iri ya iri koyo bannyayaŋ no, iri nda nga kaŋ i na gaasiya gar a kambe ra.»
17And 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.
17 Kala Yusufu ne: «Irikoy m'ay waa ay ma woodin te! Bora day kaŋ i na gaasiya gar a kambe ra, nga no ga ciya ay bannya. Amma araŋ wo, kal araŋ ma to araŋ baabo do baani.»
18Then 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.
18 Waato din gaa Yahuda maan a do ka ne: «Ya ay koyo, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma naŋ ay, ni bannya ma salaŋ ay koyo hanga ra. Ni bina mo ma si futu ay, ni bannya se zama ni gonda beeray kaŋ ga hima Firawna wano.
19My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
19 Ay koyo na nga bannyey hã hala iri gonda baaba wala kayne.
20And 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.
20 Iri ne iri koyo se: ‹Iri gonda baaba zeeno d'a zeena ize, ikayna no. Day a nya izo bu. Kala nga hinne kaŋ cindi a nyaŋo wane, a baabo mo ga ba r'a.›
21And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
21 Ni ne mo iri, ni bannyey se: ‹Araŋ ma kand'a neewo, zama ay ma di a ay mo ra.›
22And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
22 Iri mo, iri ne iri koyo se: ‹A si du ka te arwaso ma nga baabo naŋ, zama d'a na nga baabo naŋ, kulu baabo ga bu.›
23And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
23 Ni ci ni bannyey se ka ne: ‹D'araŋ koda mana kaa araŋ banda, araŋ si ye ka di ay moyduma koyne.›
24And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
24 A ciya binde, saaya kaŋ iri to ni bannya, kaŋ ga ti iri baabo do, iri n'iri koyo sanney ci a se.
25And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
25 Iri baaba mo ne: ‹Wa ye ka koy ka ŋwaari kayna day iri se.›
26And 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.
26 Iri ne: ‹Iri si hin ka koy. D'iri koda go iri banda kay, iri ga koy, zama a si te iri ma di bora moyduma kala nda iri koda go iri banda.›
27And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
27 Kala ni bannya, iri baaba, ne iri se: ‹Araŋ bay kaŋ ay wando na ize aru hinka hay ay se.
28And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
28 Afa fatta ay do, ay mo ne haciika i n'a kortu-kortu. Ay mana ye ka di a koyne hala hõ.
29And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
29 D'araŋ na woone mo sambu koyne, hala hasaraw fo du a, araŋ g'ay hamni kwaara candi nda bine saray nooya, ka kond'ay saara do.›
30Now 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;
30 Sohõ binde, d'ay koy ni bannya do, ay baaba nooya, zanka mo si iri banda, za kaŋ a fundo go ga haw zanka fundo gaa,
31It 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.
31 a ga ciya, saaya kaŋ a di zanka si iri banda, kal a ma bu. Iri, ni bannyey binde ga ni bannya iri baaba hamni kwaara candi nda bine saray ka kond'a saara do.
32For 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.
32 Ay mo, ni bannya, ay na arwaso fundo garaw sambu ay boŋ gaa, ka ne: ‹D'ay mana ye ka kand'a ni do, kal ay wo ma goro nda taali ay baabo do hal abada.›
33Now 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.
33 Sohõ binde, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma yadda ay, ni bannya se, ay ma goro arwaso banandi. Ay ma te bannya ay koyo se, arwaso mo ma ye ka koy nga beerey banda.
34For 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.
34 Zama mate n'ay ga te ka koy ay baaba do, da arwaso si ay banda? Naŋ ay ma si di hasaraw kaŋ ga kaa ay baabo gaa!»
