Judah Beg For Benjamin
18 Den Judah ansa Josef, “My oga, abeg make yu let yor savant tok to yu. Abeg make yu nor vex with yor savant, bikos yu just bi like Fero. 19 My oga ask en savants sey, ‘Una still get papa or broda?’ 20 Wi ansa sey, ‘Awa papa don old and wi get one small broda wey dem born for awa papa wen e don old. Di boy broda don die. Na only en bi en mama pikin wey remain and en papa love am well-well.’ 21 Den yu tell us yor savants sey, ‘Make una go bring am kom make I si am.’ 22 Wi tell awa oga sey, ‘Di boy nor go fit leave en papa. If e leave en papa, di papa go die.’ 23 But yu tell yor savants sey, ‘If una yonga broda nor follow una kom, una nor go si my face again.’ 24 Wen wi go meet awa papa, wi tell am evritin wey awa oga tok. 25 Den awa papa sey, ‘Make una go buy some food kom.’ 26 But wi tell am, ‘Wi nor go fit go, unless awa yonga broda go follow us, bikos wi nor go fit si di man if e nor follow us.’ 27 Den yor savant, awa papa kon sey, ‘Una know sey my wife born two boys for mi. 28 Di first boy disappear and I kon sey, “Wiked animal go don chop am to pieces.” I neva si am since den. 29 If una take dis one from mi too and sometin happen to am, den una go make mi die for pain and shame.’
30 “So naw, how wi won take go back to yor savant, awa papa and di boy nor dey with us; bikos en life dey inside dis en pikin life. 31 Wen e si sey di boy nor dey with us, e go die and yor savant go let awa papa yor savant die inside pain and shame. 32 True-true, yor savant kon tell en papa sey, ‘If I nor bring di boy kom back, den for di rest of my life, I go dey bear di blame.’ 33 So naw, make yu allow mi bi yor slave instead of dis boy. But for di boy, make e follow my brodas go back. 34 How I won take go back go tell my papa, if di boy nor dey with mi? I nor go fit bear to si my papa sofa for pain.”
