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?

If any of your servants is found to have it, he must die, and the rest will become slaves of my lord.”

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
GOFE
ይሁድ፥ “ታ ጎዳስ ኑኒ አይ ጋኔ? ኑኒ አይ ኦደትያባይ ደኢ? ኑ ፅሎተꬃ ኑኒ ዋት በሳኔ? ፆሳይ ነ አይለታ ናቁዋ ቆንጭስስ። ህዛ ኑኒካ ሄ ዋንጫይ በንትዳ ኡራይካ ታ ጎዳስ አይለ ግድዳ” ያግስ።
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
GOFE
ሽን ዮሰፍ፥ “ሄሳ መላባ ኦꬃናይስ ታፐ ሃኮ፤ ታ ዋንጫይ እያፐ በንትዳ ኡራ ፃላል ታ አይለ ግዳና። ሀንኮ ህንተ ህንተ አዋኮ ጉየ ሳሮ ስምተ” ያግስ።
