Genesis 42
1 And Jacob sees that there is grain in Egypt, and Jacob says to his sons, “Why do you look at each other?”
Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf ama na Yakob rena atahori rafadꞌe oi hambu are sia Masir. De ana ola-olaꞌ no ana nara nae, “Ana nggare! Taꞌo bee de hei endoꞌ onaꞌ nggoa ra taꞌo naa!
2 He also says, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt, go down there, and buy for us from there, and we live and do not die”;
Au rena oi hambu nanaat sia Masir. Malole lenaꞌ mi hasa sia naa dei, fo ata afiꞌ mate ndoes.”
3 and the ten brothers of Joseph go down to buy grain in Egypt,
De Yusuf aꞌa ka sanahulu nara, raote rae reu hasa nanaat sia Masir.
4 and Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob has not sent with his brothers, for he said, “Lest harm meet him.”
Te Yakob nda nau mboꞌi Yusuf odꞌi muri na Benyamin fo neu no se sa. Ana duꞌa, “Afiꞌ losa anaꞌ a hambu sususaꞌ fai!”
5 And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine has been in the land of Canaan,
Dadꞌi, huu atahori sia bee-bꞌee rena oi hambu nanaat sia Masir, naa de ara reu hasa sia naa. Fula-fai ndoes o losa rae Kanaꞌan. De Yakob ana nara o reu hasa sia naa boe.
6 and Joseph is the ruler over the land, he who is selling to all the people of the land, and Joseph’s brothers come and bow themselves to him—face to the earth.
Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf dadꞌi fetor sia Masir. Mete ma atahori rema mia bee-bꞌee hasa are, Yusuf mana seo neu se. Naeni de, leleꞌ aꞌa nara losa, ara reu sendeꞌ lululangga nara fee hadat neu e, losa langga nara dai rae a.
7 And Joseph sees his brothers, and discerns them, and makes himself strange to them, and speaks sharp things with them, and says to them, “From where have you come?” And they say, “From the land of Canaan—to buy food.”
Leleꞌ nita se, ana nahine memaꞌ. Te Yusuf tao ao na onaꞌ atahori Masir, de ara nda rahine e sa. Ana natane se no deres nae, “Hei ia, mia bee ima?” Rataa rae, “Hai mia Kanaꞌan. Hai ima mae hasa nanaat sia ama fetor.”
8 And Joseph discerns his brothers, but they have not discerned him,
9 and Joseph remembers the dreams which he dreamed of them and says to them, “You [are] spies; you have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
Boe ma Yusuf nasanedꞌa meit na. De ana naꞌatatauꞌ se nae, “Au nda umuhere sa! Neꞌo basa hei ia ra mana maku-maꞌu. Hei ima mae mihine nusa Masir rahasia na, fo mitati mo hai.”
10 And they say to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food;
Te rataa rae, “Hokoꞌ, amaꞌ! Hai amaꞌ atahori dedenu na. Tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ hai ima mae hasa nanaat.
11 we [are] all of us sons of one man, we [are] right men; your servants have not been spies”;
Basa hai amaꞌ esa. Hai nda maku-maꞌu sa, amaꞌ! Hai atahori maloleꞌ.”
12 and he says to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land”;
Te Yusuf olaꞌ nahereꞌ nae, “He! Ombo koson! Afiꞌ peko-leleloꞌ au. Memaꞌ hei ia ra, mana maku-maꞌuꞌ. Hei ima mae mihine nusaꞌ ia rahasia nara!”
13 and they say, “Your servants [are] twelve brothers; we [are] sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and behold, the young one [is] with our father today, and one is not.”
Ara rahara rae, “Hokoꞌ, amaꞌ! Hai amaꞌ dedenu na. Hai ima mia rae Kanaꞌan. Hai odꞌi-aꞌa atahori sanahulu rua. Basa hai ama esa. Hai odꞌi muri ma leo nahani no hai ama ma, ma esa nese ena.”
14 And Joseph says to them, “This [is] that which I have spoken to you, saying, You [are] spies,
Yusuf nataa se nae, “Hokoꞌ! Saa fo au olaꞌ faꞌ ra, tebꞌe! Hei ia ra memaꞌ mana maku-maꞌuꞌ.
15 by this you are proved: [as] Pharaoh lives, if you go out from this—except by your young brother coming here;
De hei musi fee bukti dei, fo au uhine hei oꞌola ma naa, memaꞌ tebꞌe, do hokoꞌ. Au sumba! Mete ma hei odꞌi muri ma nda nema sia ia sa, hei nda lao hela nusaꞌ ia sa!
16 send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and you, remain bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be with you: and if not, [as] Pharaoh lives, surely you [are] spies”;
Dadꞌi hei tengga atahori sa fo neu nala hei odꞌi muri ma ia nema. Ma hela hei ruma. Au ae ita hei oꞌola ma naa, tebꞌe do hokoꞌ. Mete ma hokoꞌ, hei memaꞌ mana maku-maꞌu.”
17 and he gathers them into confinement [for] three days.
Boe ma Yusuf denu tao se bui rala reu fai telu.
18 And Joseph says to them on the third day, “Do this and live; I fear God!
Fai ka telu na boe, Yusuf neu olaꞌ no se sia bui a nae, “Au ia, umutau neu Lamatualain ma tungga hiihii-nanau Na. Au nau mboꞌi hei, naa fo misodꞌa. Te hambu dalaꞌ esa.
19 If you [are] right men, let one of your brothers be bound in the house of your confinement, and you, go, carry in grain [for] the famine of your houses,
Mete ma hei olaꞌ no matetuꞌ na, hei musi fee bukti neu au dei. Eni dala na taꞌo ia: au tao esa sia bui rala. Rumaꞌ baliꞌ fo mendi nanaat fee ume isi mara. Te ara rahani hei ena.
20 and you bring your young brother to me, and your words are established, and you do not die”; and they do so.
Basa naa, mendi odꞌi ma nema, fo dadꞌi bukti hei atahori maloleꞌ. Fo au afiꞌ hukun isa hei.” Rena taꞌo naa, ma raꞌaheiꞌ.
21 And they say to one another, “Truly we [are] guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul, in his making supplication to us, and we did not listen: therefore this distress has come on us.”
De ara esa olaꞌ no esa rae, “Ia naa hita hambu bala-bꞌaeꞌ mia hita tatao na, fo hita tao neu hita odꞌi na. Hita tita ana doidꞌoso nala seli. Ana noꞌe tulun te, hita nda tao-afiꞌ sa. Naa de, ia naa hita doidꞌoso onaꞌ ia ena.”
22 And Reuben answers them, saying, “Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the boy? And you did not listen; and his blood also, behold, it is required.”
Boe ma Ruben fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu se nae, “We, odꞌiꞌ re! Maꞌahulu na, au ai hei ena, fo afiꞌ tao saa-saa neu anaꞌ naa boe, to? Te hei nda tao-afiꞌ neu au oꞌola ngga sa. Naa de, ia naa hita lemba Yusuf raa na ena.”
23 And they have not known that Joseph understands, for the interpreter [is] between them;
Ara ola-olaꞌ taꞌo naa, te nda rahine rae Yusuf nahine sira dedꞌea na sa. Huu, Yusuf ola-olaꞌ no se nendiꞌ dedꞌea Masir, dei fo mana ola-olaꞌ na olaꞌ nisiꞌ dedꞌea Ibrani.
24 and he turns around from them, and weeps, and turns back to them, and speaks to them, and takes Simeon from them, and binds him before their eyes.
Rena ara ola-olaꞌ taꞌo naa, Yusuf fela hela se, de neu nggae mia mamana feaꞌ. Ana nggae basa dei de, baliꞌ nisiꞌ se. De ana denu ara futu Simeon mia odꞌi-aꞌa nara mata na.
25 And Joseph commands, and they fill their vessels [with] grain, also to put back the money of each of them into his sack, and to give to them provision for the way; and one does to them so.
Basa naa ma, Yusuf parenda pagau nara, fo ombo are nisiꞌ aꞌa nara karon nara. Ma tao baliꞌ doi nara risiꞌ karon nara rala. Ana o denu tao fee se lepa-ngges. De pagau nara tao tungga Yusuf parenda na.
26 And they lift up their grain on their donkeys, and go from there,
Basa de, Yusuf aꞌa nara rafufuaꞌ karon are ra risiꞌ kaledei ata. De ara lao baliꞌ.
27 and the one opens his sack to give provender to his donkey at a lodging-place, and he sees his money, and behold, it [is] in the mouth of his bag,
Mia dalaꞌ taladꞌa na, ara hahae. Boe ma, esa sefi karon tali na, fo nae fee keledei na naa. Te nita doi na sia are ata.
28 and he says to his brothers, “My money has been put back, and also, behold, in my bag”: and their heart goes out, and they tremble, to one another saying, “What [is] this God has done to us!”
Ana nggengger nala seli. Boe ma ana randu aꞌa nara nae, “Awiii! Mete dei! Hita soe ena. Ara tao baliꞌ au doi ngga sia karon rala.” Ara rita taꞌo naa ma, bingun ma ramatau. De ara ola-olaꞌ rae, “Lamatualain tao sa neu hita fai ia?”
29 And they come to their father Jacob, to the land of Canaan, and they declare to him all the things meeting them, saying,
Basa naa ma, ara lao rakandoo. Losa Kanaꞌan ma, ara dui ama na, basa saa mana dadꞌi neu se.
30 “The man, the lord of the land, has spoken with us sharp things, and makes us as spies of the land;
Rafadꞌe rae, “Amaꞌ e! Fetor Masir a, manaseliꞌ. Oꞌola na nda no hadat sa. Ana napepenggo hai oi, hai mana maku-maꞌu nusaꞌ naa.
31 and we say to him, We [are] right men, we have not been spies,
Te hai mitaa mae, “Hokoꞌ! Hai olaꞌ no matetuꞌ. Hai ia ra nda mana maku-maꞌu sa.
32 we [are] twelve brothers, sons of our father, one is not, and the young one [is] today with our father in the land of Canaan.
Hai atahori maloleꞌ. Basa hai, odꞌi-aꞌa atahori sanahulu rua mia amaꞌ esa. Te esa mate ena, ma muriꞌ a leo no hai ama ma sia Kanaꞌan.’
33 And the man, the lord of the land, says to us, By this I know that you [are] right men—leave one of your brothers with me, and take [for] the famine of your houses and go,
Boe ma, fetor a nae, ‘Au ae sobꞌa, hei ia ra ndos do hokoꞌ! Hei esa musi leo sia ia. Ruma baliꞌ mendi are fee ume isi mara, fo ara afiꞌ mate ndoes.
34 and bring your young brother to me, and I know that you [are] not spies, but you [are] right men; I give your brother to you, and you trade with the land.”
Basa naa, hei musi mendi odꞌi ma dei. No taꞌo naa, dei fo au bubꞌuluꞌ hei ia ra nda mana maku-maꞌu sa, te memaꞌ hei atahori ndos. Boe ma, au mboꞌi hei torono ma mia bui a. Ma mboꞌi hei, fo sudꞌiꞌ a bee mii, sia nusaꞌ ia.’”
35 And it comes to pass, they are emptying their sacks, and behold, the bundle of each man’s silver [is] in his sack, and they see their bundles of silver, they and their father, and are afraid;
Dꞌui basa ma, ara bonggar karon nara isi na. Aiboiꞌ ma rita doi nara, feꞌe sia karon rala. De Yakob no ana nara ramatau rae mate.
36 and their father Jacob says to them, “You have bereaved me; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and Benjamin you take—all these [things] have been against me.”
Basa naa ma, Yakob olaꞌ no se nae, “Hei ia ra tao mimopoꞌ ana nggara. Yusuf nese ena. Simeon o nese boe. Ia naa hei mae mendi Benyamin fai, do? Hei ia ra tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ mae tao doidꞌoso au, ma!”
37 And Reuben speaks to his father, saying, “You put to death my two sons, if I do not bring him to you; give him into my hand, and I bring him back to you”;
Boe ma Ruben olaꞌ no ama na nae, “Amaꞌ e! Fee Benyamin neu au. Au unea e. Au helu, dei fo au endi baliꞌ e nisiꞌ amaꞌ. Te mete ma hokoꞌ, tao misa ana mone karua nggara.”
38 and he says, “My son does not go down with you, for his brother [is] dead, and he by himself is left; when harm has met him in the way in which you go, then you have brought down my grey hairs in sorrow to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
Te Yakob olaꞌ nae, “Hokoꞌ! Hei nda bole mo Benyamin sa. Aꞌa na Yusuf mate ena. Helaꞌ a mesaꞌ ne. Mete ma ana taꞌo esa sia dalaꞌ, naa, hei tao au susa sambe mate.” (Sheol h7585)
