1. 1LINJozefi apesaki mitindo epai ya moto oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya ndako na ye : « Tondisa biloko ya kolia na basaki ya bato oyo kolanda kilo oyo bakoki komema mpe tia mbongo ya moko na moko na moto ya saki na ye.BSBBSB: 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.
2. 2LINOkotia kopo na ngai oyo ya palata na moto ya saki ya leki na bango ya suka elongo na mbongo na ye ya ble. » Moto yango asalaki ndenge kaka Jozefi alobaki na ye.BSBBSB: 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.
3. 3LINNa tongo-tongo, batikaki bandeko ya Jozefi kozonga elongo na ba-ane na bango.BSBBSB: At daybreak, the men were sent on their way with their donkeys.
4. 4LINWana babimaki na engumba, bamikomelaki nanu mosika te, Jozefi alobaki na moto oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya ndako na ye : « Telema, landa bato wana ! Mpe tango okokanga bango, tuna bango : mpo na nini bozongisi mabe na malamu ?BSBBSB: 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. 5LINMpo na nini boyibi kopo oyo nkolo na ngai amelelaka mayi mpe asalelaka mpo na koyeba makambo oyo ekoya ? Likambo oyo bosali ezali penza mabe. »BSBBSB: Is this not the cup my master drinks from and uses for divination? What you have done is wicked!’”
6. 6LINMokambi ya ndako ya Jozefi akangaki bango mpe alobelaki bango lolenge nkolo na ye atindaki ye.BSBBSB: When the steward overtook them, he relayed these words to them.
7. 7LINKasi bazongiselaki ye : — Mpo na nini nkolo na biso alobi makambo ya boye ? Basali na yo bakoki kosala makambo ya boye te.BSBBSB: “Why does my lord say these things?” they asked. “Your servants could not possibly do such a thing.
8. 8LINTomemelaki yo mbongo oyo tomonaki tango tofungolaki basaki na biso wuta na mokili ya Kanana. Ndenge nini tokoki lisusu koyiba wolo to palata kati na ndako ya nkolo na yo ?BSBBSB: 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. 9LINSoki moko kati na basali na yo amonani ete azali na yango, akokufa ; mpe biso bamosusu oyo totikali, tokokoma bawumbu ya nkolo na biso.BSBBSB: If any of your servants is found to have it, he must die, and the rest will become slaves of my lord.”
10. 10LINMoto oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya ndako ya Jozefi alobaki : — Malamu mingi ! Tika ete ezala ndenge bolobi ! Moto oyo akomonana ete azali na yango, akokoma mowumbu na ngai. Bino ba-oyo botikali, bokozala na likambo te.BSBBSB: “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. 11LINMoko na moko akitisaki saki na ye na lombangu na mabele mpe afungolaki yango.BSBBSB: So each one quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it.
12. 12LINMoto oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya Jozefi abandaki koluka kobanda na kulutu kino na leki. Mpe kopo emonanaki na saki ya Benjame.BSBBSB: The steward searched, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest—and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
13. 13LINTango bamonaki bongo, bapasolaki bilamba na bango ; bazongisaki biloko na ba-ane na bango mpe bazongaki bango nyonso na engumba.BSBBSB: Then they all tore their clothes, loaded their donkeys, and returned to the city.
14. 14LINJozefi azalaki kaka na ndako. Tango Yuda na bandeko na ye ya mibali bakotaki na ndako, bagumbamaki kino na se liboso na ye.BSBBSB: When Judah and his brothers arrived at Joseph’s house, he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.
15. 15LINJozefi alobaki na bango : — Likambo nini oyo bosali ? Boyebi te ete moto lokola ngai nazali na makoki ya komona makambo na bosoloka ?BSBBSB: “What is this deed you have done?” Joseph declared. “Do you not know that a man like me can surely divine the truth?”
16. 16LINYuda azongisaki : — Likambo nini tokoki koloba na nkolo na ngai ? Tokoloba lisusu nini ? Ndenge nini tokoki kotalisa ete toyebi likambo te ? Nzambe alakisi polele mbeba ya basali na yo. Tokomi sik’oyo bawumbu ya nkolo na ngai, biso nyonso elongo na ye oyo amonani ete azalaki na kopo kati na saki na ye.BSBBSB: “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. 17LINKasi Jozefi alobaki : — Nakoki kosala likambo ya boye te ! Kaka moto oyo amonani ete azalaki na kopo kati na saki na ye nde akozala mowumbu na ngai. Bino ba-oyo botikali, bozonga na kimia epai ya tata na bino.BSBBSB: 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. 18LINYuda apusanaki pembeni na ye mpe alobaki : — Nabondeli yo, nkolo na ngai ! Tika ete mosali na yo aloba liloba moko epai ya nkolo na ngai. Kosilikela mosali na yo te, pamba te ndenge Faraon azali, ndenge wana mpe yo ozali.BSBBSB: 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. 19LINNkolo na ngai atunaki basali na ye : « Bozali na tata to na ndeko mosusu ya mobali ? »BSBBSB: My lord asked his servants, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’
20. 20LINTozongiselaki nkolo na ngai : « Tozali na tata oyo akomi mobange mpe ndeko mobali ya leki oyo babotelaki tata na biso na kimobange. Ndeko na ye ya mobali akufa mpe atikala kaka ye moko mwana mobali na libumu ya mama na ye, mpe tata na ye alingaka ye mingi. »BSBBSB: 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. 21LINBongo olobaki na basali na yo : « Bomemela ngai ye mpo ete nakoka komona ye na miso na ngai. »BSBBSB: Then you told your servants, ‘Bring him down to me so that I can see him for myself.’
22. 22LINTozongiselaki nkolo na ngai : « Elenge mobali akoki kotika tata na ye te ; soki atiki ye, tata na ye akokufa. »BSBBSB: So we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he were to leave, his father would die.’
23. 23LINKasi olobaki na basali na yo : « Soki leki na bino ya mobali ayei elongo na bino te, bokomona lisusu elongi na ngai te. »BSBBSB: But you said to your servants, ‘Unless your younger brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.’
24. 24LINTango tozongaki epai ya mosali na yo, tata na ngai, toyebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo nkolo na ngai alobaki.BSBBSB: Now when we returned to your servant my father, we relayed your words to him.
25. 25LINBongo tata na biso alobaki : « Bozonga mpe bosomba ndambo ya biloko ya kolia. »BSBBSB: Then our father said, ‘Go back and buy us some food.’
26. 26LINKasi tozongisaki : « Tokoki kokende te. Tokokende kaka soki leki na biso ya mobali azali elongo na biso. Tokoki komona elongi ya moto wana te soki leki na biso ya mobali azali elongo na biso te. »BSBBSB: 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. 27LINMosali na yo, tata na biso, alobaki na biso : « Boyebi ete mwasi na ngai, Rasheli, abotelaki ngai bana mibale ya mibali.BSBBSB: And your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.
28. 28LINMoko na bango akenda mosika na ngai. Nakanisi ete ezali ya solo, nyama moko ya mabe esila kolia ye. Banda tango wana, natikala komona ye lisusu te.BSBBSB: When one of them was gone, I said: “Surely he has been torn to pieces.” And I have not seen him since.
29. 29LINSoki bozwi ngai lisusu mwana oyo mpe soki likama ekweyeli ye, bokoboma ngai na pasi, na kimobange na ngai. »BSBBSB: 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. 30LINSik’oyo, soki elenge mobali azali elongo na biso te tango nakozonga epai ya tata na ngai, mosali na yo, mpe soki tata na ngai, oyo motema na ye ekangama makasi na motema ya elenge mobali oyo,BSBBSB: 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,
31. 31LINamoni ete elenge mobali azali elongo na biso te, wana akokufa. Basali na yo bakoboma tata na biso na pasi na kimobange na ye.BSBBSB: 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.
32. 32LINPamba te ngai mosali na yo, nandimaki, na miso ya tata na ngai, kobatela elenge mobali oyo. Nalobaki : « Soki nazongiseli yo ye te, nakozala na ngambo liboso na yo tata na ngai, bomoi na ngai mobimba. »BSBBSB: 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. 33LINYango wana sik’oyo, nabondeli yo, tika ete mosali na yo akoma mowumbu ya nkolo na ngai na esika ya elenge mobali oyo mpe tika ete elenge mobali azonga elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali.BSBBSB: Now please let your servant stay here as my lord’s slave in place of the boy. Let him return with his brothers.
34. 34LINNdenge nini nakoki kozonga epai ya tata na ngai soki elenge mobali azali elongo na ngai te ? Kotika te ete namona pasi oyo ekokomela tata na ngai !BSBBSB: For how can I go back to my father without the boy? I could not bear to see the misery that would overwhelm him.”
