Genesis 44

Apre sa, Jozèf bay chèf domestik la lòd sa a: -Plen sak mesye yo manje mezi yo ka pote. Mete lajan chak moun nan bouch sak yo.

And 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.

W'a pran gwo gode m' lan, gode an ajan an, w'a mete l' nan bouch sak pi piti a ansanm ak tout lajan l' lan. Chèf domestik la fè sa Jozèf te di l' fè a.

And 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.

Nan denmen maten, byen bonè, yo voye mesye yo al fè wout yo ak tout bourik yo.

As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

Yo te fin kite lavil la dèyè, men yo pa t' pi lwen pase sa, lè Jozèf di domestik li a: -Leve, kouri dèyè mesye yo. Lè w'a trape yo, w'a di yo: Poukisa nou aji mal konsa ak moun ki fè nou byen?

And 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?

Poukisa nou pran gwo gode mèt mwen an? Se ladan l' li bwè, se ak li li sèvi pou l' konnen sa ki pral pase. Sa nou fè a pa bon menm.

Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.

Lè domestik la trape yo, li repete tout sa mèt li a te di l'.

And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.

Men yo reponn: -Men msye, nou pa konprann sa w'ap di la a. pou n' ta fè bagay konsa? Mande Bondye padon!

And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:

Gade, lajan nou te jwenn premye fwa a nan bouch sak nou yo, nou pote l' tounen ba ou soti peyi Kanaran. Ki jan ou vle wè pou nou ta vòlò ajan osinon lò kay mèt la?

Behold, 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?

Si ou jwenn gwo gode a nan men yonn nan nou, se pou moun sa a mouri. Nou menm lòt yo, se pou yo fè nou tounen esklav.

With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.

Domestik la di: -Dakò. Men, si yo jwenn gode a nan men yonn nan nou, se moun sa a m'ap pran pou sèvi m' esklav. Lòt yo lib, yo mèt ale.

And 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.

La menm, yo prese mete sak yo atè, chak moun louvri sak yo.

Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

Chèf domestik Jozèf la pran fouye sak yo yonn apre lòt. Li konmanse ak sak pi gran an pou l' fini ak sak pi piti a. Yo jwenn gode a nan sak Benjamen an.

And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

Sa ou tande a, yon sèl lapenn pran mesye yo, yo chire rad sou yo. Chak moun chaje bourik yo ankò, yo tounen lavil.

Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.

Lè Jida ak frè l' yo rive lakay Jozèf, Jozèf te la toujou. Yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan li.

And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.

Jozèf di yo: -Kisa nou fè konsa? Eske nou pa konnen yon nonm tankou mwen gen pouvwa pou m' wè tout sa ki pral rive?

And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?

Jida reponn li: -Mèt, nou pa konn sa pou nou di. Nou pa ka pale. Pa gen savon pou lave nou devan ou. Se Bondye menm ki fè ou dekouvri nou. Mèt, se poutèt sa se pa sèlman moun ki te gen gode a nan men l' lan ki esklav ou, se nou tout ki esklav ou.

And 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.

Men Jozèf di: -Mande Bondye padon! Mwen pa ka fè sa. Moun ki te gen gode a, se li menm sèlman k'ap rete pou sèvi m' esklav. Lòt yo mèt tounen lakay papa yo ak kè poze jan yo te vini an.

And 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.

Lè sa a, Jida pwoche bò kote Jozèf, li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, mèt. Kite m' di ou yon ti pawòl. Ou pa bezwen fache sou mwen. Mwen konnen ki di ou menm di farawon an.

Then 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.

Mèt, ou te mande nou èske papa nou la, èske nou gen lòt frè.

My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?

Nou te reponn ou: Wi, nou gen yon papa ki fin vye granmoun ak yon ti frè, pitit papa nou te fè nan vyeyès li. Ti bway la te gen yon lòt frè menm manman avè l'. Men, li mouri. Nan de pitit manman l' yo, se li menm ase ki rete. Lèfini papa nou renmen l' anpil.

And 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.

Ou te mande nou pou nou mennen l' isit la pou ou te ka wè l'.

And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.

Nou te reponn ou, mèt, ti bway la pa t' ka kite papa l'. Si li kite l', chagren va touye papa a.

And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

Men, ou te kenbe pawòl ou pi rèd, ou te di nou si ti frè nou an pa vini ak nou, nou pa bezwen parèt devan ou.

And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.

Lè nou tounen kay papa nou, nou rakonte l' tout sa ou te di nou.

And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

Apre sa, papa di nou: Tounen al achte manje pou mwen.

And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.

Nou di l': Non, papa. Nou pa ka desann paske si ti frè nou an pa ale ak nou, nou p'ap ka parèt devan chèf la. Men, si ou dakò pou ti frè nou an ale ak nou, n'a desann.

And 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.

Lè sa a, papa nou di: Nou konnen madanm mwen te fè de sèl pitit gason pou mwen.

And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:

Gen yonn ki pati kite m'. Mwen kwè se bèt nan bwa ki dwe devore l', paske mwen pa janm wè l' jouk koulye a.

And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:

Jòdi a, si nou pran sa a nan men m', si yon malè rive l', avèk tout laj sa ki sou tèt mwen an, mwen p'ap ka sipòte lapenn sa a, chagren va touye m'.

And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

Koulye a atò, mèt, si mwen tounen al jwenn papa m' san pitit gason l' sa a, ki de je nan tèt li,

Now 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;

kou la gade li wè pitit li a pa la, l'ap mouri. Se nou menm ki va lakòz lapenn sa a k'ap twòp pou granmoun lan. Papa nou va mouri sou kont nou.

It 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.

Wi, se mwen menm ki te bay papa m' garanti m'ap tounen ak pitit la. Mwen te di l': Si m' pa mennen l' tounen ba li, se mwen menm k'ap pote fòt la devan l' jouk jou mwen mouri.

For 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.

Se poutèt sa, mèt, tanpri, kite ti bway la ale avèk frè l' yo, kite m' pran plas li. Gade m' pou esklav ou.

Now 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.

Mwen pa konnen ki pye pou m' ta mete devan pou m' tounen kay papa m' san ti gason an pa avèk nou. Mwen pa ta vle wè lapenn sa a tonbe sou papa m'.

For 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.
