Genesis 44:31-34
[31]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.
itakuwa atakapoona ya kwamba huyu kijana hayuko, atakufa; na watumwa wako watashusha mvi za mtumwa wako, baba yetu, kwa huzuni kaburini.
[32]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.
Kwa maana mtumwa wako alijifanya mdhamini wa huyu kijana kwa baba yangu, nikisema, Nisipomrudisha kwako, nitakuwa na hatia kwa baba yangu sikuzote.
[33]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.
Basi, sasa nakusihi, uniache mimi mtumwa wako nikae badala ya huyu kijana kuwa mtumwa wa bwana wangu; na huyu kijana umwache aende pamoja na nduguze.
[34]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.
Kwa maana nitawezaje kumwendea baba yangu, na huyu kijana hayuko pamoja nami? Nisije nikayaona mabaya yatakayompata baba yangu.
