6. 6YORNígbà tí ó sì bá wọn, o sọ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún wọn.BSBBSB: When the steward overtook them, he relayed these words to them.

Nítorí náà èéṣe tí àwa yóò fi jí wúrà tàbí idẹ ní ilé olúwa à rẹ?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?

11. 11YOROlúkúlùkù wọn yára sọ àpò rẹ̀ kalẹ̀, wọ́n sì tú u.BSBBSB: So each one quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it.

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. 17YORṢùgbọ́n Josẹfu dáhùn pé, “Ká má rí i pé mo ṣe irú nǹkan bẹ́ẹ̀!

The man who was found with the cup will be my slave. The rest of you may return to your father in peace.”

Do not be angry with your servant, for you are equal to Pharaoh himself.

Ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀ ti kú, òun nìkan sì ni ó kù nínú àwọn ọmọ ìyá rẹ̀, baba rẹ̀ sì fẹ́ràn án rẹ̀.’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. 21YOR“Nígbà náà ni ó sọ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ẹ mu un tọ̀ mí wá kí n le fojú ara mi rí i.’BSBBSB: Then you told your servants, ‘Bring him down to me so that I can see him for myself.’
22. 22YORA sì sọ fún olúwa à mi pé, ‘Ọmọkùnrin náà kò le è fi baba rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, bí ó bá dán an wò baba rẹ̀ yóò kú.’BSBBSB: So we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he were to leave, his father would die.’

25. 25YOR“Nígbà náà ni baba wa wí pé, ‘Ẹ padà lọ láti lọ ra oúnjẹ díẹ̀ wá.’BSBBSB: Then our father said, ‘Go back and buy us some food.’
26. 26YORṢùgbọ́n a wí pe, ‘Àwa kò le è padà lọ, àyàfi bí àbúrò wa pátápátá yóò bá bá wa lọ. A kò le è rí ojú ọkùnrin náà àyàfi tí àbúrò wa bá lọ pẹ̀lú wa.’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. 27YOR“Baba mi, ìránṣẹ́ rẹ wí fún wa pé, ‘Ẹ mọ̀ pé ìyàwó mi bí ọmọkùnrin méjì fún mi.BSBBSB: And your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.

30. 30YOR“Nítorí náà, bí a bá padà tọ baba wa lọ láìsí ọmọ náà pẹ̀lú wa nígbà tí a mọ̀ pé, ọmọ náà ni ẹ̀mí baba wa.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. 31YORTí ó bá ri pé ọmọkùnrin náà kò wá pẹ̀lú wa, yóò kùú. Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò wá mú baba wa tòun ti ewú orí lọ sí ipò òkú ní ìbànújẹ́.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.

Mo wí pé, ‘Bí n kò bá mú un padà tọ̀ ọ́ wá, baba mi, èmi ó ru ẹ̀bi rẹ̀ ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé mi!’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. 33YOR“Nítorí náà, jẹ́ kí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kí ó dúró ní ìhín lọ́dọ̀ olúwa à mi bí ẹrú dípò ọmọ náà. Kí ọmọ náà bá àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ padà.BSBBSB: Now please let your servant stay here as my lord’s slave in place of the boy. Let him return with his brothers.
