Yusuhu yu̱ wa-gwat-du̱ bu-u wa tun-to̱ bo̱r-to̱, <<Shu̱u̱se̱ ba-u̱t u̱n u̱ hyu̱ u̱ka u̱n do̱te̱ u̱t-kere̱ u̱t-kab m-mu̱, tu̱msu̱ bo̱ wa'u̱ shik-u̱ ko̱wan u̱ ba-u̱r wa.>>
BSB
BSB:
Then Joseph instructed his steward: “Fill the men’s sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each one’s silver in the mouth of his sack.

Yusuhu zu̱ wa-gwat-du̱ bu wa, <<Wa ko̱k-du̱ swadu̱ m-bu̱ ri du̱ m-baku̱t, ba-du̱ du̱-dim-u̱ u̱n, u̱r-kot u̱ shik-u̱ hyu̱ wu̱n ne̱.>> Wa no̱m u̱ka Yusuhu zu̱tte̱ wa no̱m.
BSB
BSB:
Put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one’s sack, along with the silver for his grain.” So the steward did as Joseph had instructed.

GEL
Da-u̱ is gase̱, na tom ne̱t-u̱t to̱ e̱ aru̱k m-mu̱ u̱ janka u̱n ne̱.
BSB
BSB:
At daybreak, the men were sent on their way with their donkeys.

BSB
BSB:
They had not gone far from the city when Joseph told his steward, “Pursue the men at once, and when you overtake them, ask, ‘Why have you repaid good with evil?
5
GEL
¿Dinde̱ a ko̱k-du̱ m-bu̱ du̱ u̱so u-bu ri da du̱ wa gotte̱ no̱mu̱ do̱'e̱ u̱t-no̱m u-shu̱? Uno̱ no̱mu yo̱-o̱ o̱ no̱ no̱me̱.> >>
BSB
BSB:
Is this not the cup my master drinks from and uses for divination? What you have done is wicked!’”

When the steward overtook them, he relayed these words to them.

BSB
BSB:
“Why does my lord say these things?” they asked. “Your servants could not possibly do such a thing.

BSB
BSB:
We even brought back to you from the land of Canaan the silver we found in the mouths of our sacks. Why would we steal silver or gold from your master’s house?
9
GEL
A-bo̱ hyane̱ waku̱n u̱ ko̱k-du̱ m-bu̱ de̱ ne̱ it, ho̱ wa. Tu̱msu̱ it i kuse̱ be̱e̱t e̱ shu̱u̱t to̱k-ne̱ ró.>>
BSB
BSB:
If any of your servants is found to have it, he must die, and the rest will become slaves of my lord.”
10
GEL
Ne̱t-u̱ wa zu̱, <<No̱nge̱, me̱ no̱mu̱ no̱m-u̱ no̱ zu̱ye̱. Se̱di wu̱ na hyane̱ u̱ ko̱k-du̱ m-bu̱ ne̱ wa do̱'e̱ u̱t-shu̱'u̱t to̱k-u̱ ri, no̱ i kuse̱ no̱ aru̱k m-mu̱ u-bu.>>
BSB
BSB:
“As you say,” replied the steward. “But only the one who is found with the cup will be my slave, and the rest of you shall be free of blame.”
11
GEL
Se̱ u̱n be̱e̱t kowan cu̱stu̱n ba-u̱r wa du̱gu̱ janka u̱n, tu̱msu̱ e̱ upus to̱.

BSB
BSB:
The steward searched, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest—and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
13
GEL
Remu̱ iya, se̱ e̱ keemse̱ kus-u̱t e̱. Tu̱msu̱ e̱ gagu̱ janka u̱t-cwu̱, e̱ bir m-mu̱ u-bo̱.

Then they all tore their clothes, loaded their donkeys, and returned to the city.

BSB
BSB:
When Judah and his brothers arrived at Joseph’s house, he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.

Yusuhu zu̱ u̱n, <<¿Yan-o̱ no̱ no̱me̱ inya? ¿No̱ nak u̱zu̱ ne̱t ba me̱ u̱ napu̱ no̱mu̱ waku̱n nape̱ da?>>
BSB
BSB:
“What is this deed you have done?” Joseph declared. “Do you not know that a man like me can surely divine the truth?”
16
GEL
Yahuda shu̱s, wa zu̱, <<U̱so u-bu ri, ¿Yan rem-se̱ it de̱ u̱t-no̱me̱? ¿Re̱-o̱ it do̱te̱ ko̱su̱ ko̱b-du̱ u̱t-ba'as u̱ it? Ru̱-o̱ no̱mu̱ it to̱p-u̱ no̱mu̱ it no̱me̱. Remu̱ iya it be̱e̱t it-u̱ u̱t-shu̱'u̱t to̱k-ne̱ u̱ wu̱ na bite̱ u̱ ko̱k-du̱ m-bu̱ ba-u̱r wa.>>
BSB
BSB:
“What can we say to my lord?” Judah replied. “How can we plead? How can we justify ourselves? God has exposed the iniquity of your servants. We are now my lord’s slaves—both we and the one who was found with the cup.”
17
GEL
Yusuhu zu̱, <<U̱m za kere̱ no̱m-du̱ o̱ko̱n u̱ka no̱ zu̱tte̱ da, u̱ Ru̱-u̱ mang. Wu̱ hiwe̱ ko̱k-du̱ m-bu̱ wa do̱'e̱ u̱t-shu̱'u̱t to̱k-u̱ ri. No̱ kuse̱ se̱ no̱ aru̱k m-mu̱ u̱ bu-u̱ u̱so-u no̱ u̱ jab-u̱ pus-o̱.>>
BSB
BSB:
But Joseph replied, “Far be it from me to do this. The man who was found with the cup will be my slave. The rest of you may return to your father in peace.”
18
GEL
Yahuda haan u̱du̱ Yusuhu wa zu̱, <<U̱so u-bu ri, gag jab, yage̱ to̱k-u̱ ró no̱m u̱s-rem u̱ bo̱ ne̱. A-bo̱ no̱m u̱s-ryab u̱ to̱k-u̱ ró da, ko̱ ba shu̱'u̱te̱ u̱zu̱ bo̱ o̱ u̱r-be̱b ne̱ u̱ka Faru̱k-u̱ Masar.
BSB
BSB:
Then Judah approached Joseph and said, “Sir, please let your servant speak personally to my lord. Do not be angry with your servant, for you are equal to Pharaoh himself.
19
GEL
U̱so u-bu ri shu̱ku̱t to̱k-u̱ wa, <¿No̱ o̱mo̱n u u̱so ne̱ ko̱ tu̱ dim-u̱ no̱ u̱r-fat?>
BSB
BSB:
My lord asked his servants, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’
20
GEL
It zu̱ u̱so u-bu ri, <Wa o̱mo̱n u̱r-fat se̱di wa wu̱u̱mte̱. Se̱di wa o̱tte̱ u̱r-vaste̱ du̱ wa mate̱ da-u̱ wa wu̱u̱me̱. Yu̱-wu̱ya wa maru̱g, hu̱no-u wa kuse̱ u-gan u̱du̱ ino-u wa, u̱so-u e̱ o̱ cwan-u̱t wa sok.>
BSB
BSB:
And we answered, ‘We have an elderly father and a younger brother, the child of his old age. The boy’s brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother’s sons left, and his father loves him.’
21
GEL
<<Bo̱ zu̱ to̱k-ne̱ ró haatu̱n wa u̱du̱ ró, bo̱ hyan wa u̱ hi-du̱ war ró.
BSB
BSB:
Then you told your servants, ‘Bring him down to me so that I can see him for myself.’
22
GEL
It wargu̱ u̱so u-bu ri u̱zu̱, <Wa'-u̱ wa yakte̱ u̱so-u wa da, u̱-re̱m u̱zu̱ awa yage̱ wa, u̱so wa u̱t-mar.>
BSB
BSB:
So we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he were to leave, his father would die.’
23
GEL
Bo̱ zu̱ it to̱k-u̱ ne̱ ró, <A du̱-dim-u̱ no̱ haane̱ u̱r-kot u̱ no̱ ne̱ da, u̱m da yage̱ no̱ sur m-hyan shu̱-u ri da.>
BSB
BSB:
But you said to your servants, ‘Unless your younger brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.’
24
GEL
Da it muye̱ u̱du̱ u̱so-u it, it waru̱ wa no̱mu̱ u̱so u-bu ri zu̱ye̱.
BSB
BSB:
Now when we returned to your servant my father, we relayed your words to him.
25
GEL
<<U̱so-u it zu̱, it mu̱u̱n it sur m-o̱o̱n no̱m u̱t-re̱.
BSB
BSB:
Then our father said, ‘Go back and buy us some food.’
26

BSB
BSB:
But we answered, ‘We cannot go down there unless our younger brother goes with us. So if our younger brother is not with us, we cannot see the man.’
27
GEL
<<To̱k-u̱ ró u̱so-u it zu̱, <U̱ka no̱ nu̱pte̱, ne̱ta ri o̱tte̱ ya'ag-u̱ campa-ne̱ yu̱r, i wa mate̱ u̱du̱ ri.
BSB
BSB:
And your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.

BSB
BSB:
When one of them was gone, I said: “Surely he has been torn to pieces.” And I have not seen him since.
29

BSB
BSB:
Now if you also take this one from me and harm comes to him, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.’
30
GEL
<<U̱-da o̱, u̱m za kere̱ u̱r-mu̱ u̱du̱ u̱so-u it za wa'-u̱ wa da. Remu̱ zu̱ jab-u̱ u̱so-u it o̱ m-sak u̱ fat-du̱ wa'-u̱ wa ne̱.
BSB
BSB:
So if the boy is not with us when I return to your servant, and if my father, whose life is wrapped up in the boy’s life,

A mu̱ne̱ u̱zu̱ u̱so-u it hyanu̱g me̱ za wa'-u̱ wa, wa u̱t-mar. It to̱k-ne̱ ró it u̱t-wa u̱ hi-u̱r pus-de̱ u̱so-u it he̱ u-sag remu̱ namu̱ jab.
BSB
BSB:
sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. Then your servants will have brought the gray hair of your servant our father down to Sheol in sorrow.

BSB
BSB:
Indeed, your servant guaranteed the boy’s safety to my father, saying, ‘If I do not return him to you, I will bear the guilt before you, my father, all my life.’
33
GEL
<<U̱ da-o̱, gag jab, yage̱ u̱ wa-m-ank-u̱ ró shu̱'u̱t to̱k-u̱ u̱so u-bu ri u̱ swas-mu̱ wa'-u̱ wa. Yage̱ wa'-u̱ wa aru̱k m-mu̱ e̱ tu̱-wu̱to̱ wa ne̱.
BSB
BSB:
Now please let your servant stay here as my lord’s slave in place of the boy. Let him return with his brothers.

BSB
BSB:
For how can I go back to my father without the boy? I could not bear to see the misery that would overwhelm him.”
