Genesis 43
1 The famine in Canaan got worse.
Ug ang gutom midaku sa yuta.
2 Finally, when Jacob and his family had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, Jacob said to them, “Go back to Egypt and buy some more grain for us!”
Ug nahitabo nga sa nahurot na nila ug kaon ang ilang trigo nga gidala nila gikan sa Egipto, miingon kanila ang ilang amahan: Bumalik kamo, ug pumalit kamo alang kanato ug diyutay nga makaon.
3 But Judah said to him, “The man who sold us the grain warned us sternly, ‘I will not let you see me [SYN] again if you come and your younger brother is not with you.’
Ug mitubag si Juda nga nag-ingon: Ang tawo sa Egipto nagpahayag gayud kanamo nga nag-ingon: Dili na kamo makakita sa akong nawong gawas kong ang inyong igsoon nga lalake mahiuban kaninyo.
4 So, if you will send our younger brother with us, we will go down to Egypt and buy some grain for you.
Kong ipadala mo ang among igsoon uban kanamo, motugbong kami, ug ikaw palitan namo ug makaon:
5 But if you will not send him, we will not go down there, because that man said to us, ‘I will not let you see me again if your younger brother is not with you.’”
Apan kong dili mo siya ipadala, dili kami manugbong; kay ang tawo miingon kanamo: Dili kamo makakita sa akong nawong gawas kong ang inyong igsoon mahiuban kaninyo.
6 Jacob asked, “Why did you cause me to have this trouble by telling the man that you had a younger brother?”
Ug miingon si Israel: Ngano ba nga gibuhatan ako ninyo sa labing dautan, nga nagtug-an kamo sa tawo nga kamo aduna pay usa ka igsoon nga lalake?
7 One of them replied, “The man asked about us and about our family. He said, ‘Is your father still living? Do you have another brother?’ We had to answer his questions. (We could not know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’/How could we know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’)” [RHQ]
Ug sila mingtubag: Ang tawo nga punoan nangutana kanamo sa dayag tungod kanato, ug tungod sa kaubanan nga nagaingon: Buhi pa ba ang inyong amahan? Kamo aduna pa bay lain nga igsoon nga lalake? Ug kami nagpahayag kaniya ingon nianang mga pulonga. Nagpanghibalo ba kami nga siya magaingon: Paanhion ninyo ang inyong igsoon nga lalake?
8 Then Judah said to his father Jacob, “Send the boy with me, and we will go immediately, in order that we and you and our children may get grain and not die from hunger.
Unya miingon si Juda kang Israel nga iyang amahan: Ipadala uban kanako ang bata ug manindog ug mangadto kami, aron mabuhi kita, ug dili kita mangamatay, ug ikaw, ug ang among mga anak nga gagmay.
9 I myself will guarantee that he will return. You can require me to do what I am promising [IDM]. If I do not bring him back to you safely, you can say forever that (I am to blame/it was my fault [that he did not return to you)].
Ako maoy mangako kaniya; sa akong kamot mangayo ka ug husay tungod kaniya; nga kong ugaling dili ko siya ikauli kanimo ug ikabutang ko sa imong atubangan, nan sad-an ako batok kanimo sa walay katapusan:
10 If we had not (wasted so much time/waited so long), by now we could have gone there and returned two times!”
Nga kong wala pa unta kami maglangan, sa pagkamatuod, nakabalik na unta kami karon sa makaduha.
11 Then their father Jacob said to them, “If there is no other way, do this: Put in your sacks some of the best things that are grown in this land, and take them down to the man as a gift. Take some balm/perfume and honey and spices and myrrh/ointment, some pistachio nuts, and almonds.
Ug si Israel nga ilang amahan, mitubag kanila: Busa, kong mao na gayud kini, nan buhata ninyo; magdala kamo sa labing maayong bunga sulod sa inyong mga sudlanan, ug dad-an ninyo kadtong tawo nga talahuron ug usa ka gasa, diyutay nga balsamo ug diyutay nga dugos, mga pahumot ug mirra, mga nueces ug mga almendra.
12 Take twice as much money as you took the previous time, because you must return the silver that someone put in the tops of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake that it was put in your sacks.
Ug sa inyong kamot magdala kamo ug salapi nga pinilo, ug bitbiton ninyo sa inyong kamot ang inuli nga salapi diha sa mga baba sa inyong mga baluyot: tingali kadto maoy usa ka sayup.
13 Take your younger brother and go back to that man.
Dad-a usab ninyo ang inyong igsoon nga lalake, ug panindog kamo, ug umadto kamo pag-usab niadtong tawohana.
14 I will pray that God Almighty will cause that man to act mercifully toward you, so that he will let your other brother, as well as Benjamin, come back here with you. But as for me, if my sons are taken from me, then I will not have my sons!”
Ug ang Dios nga Makagagahum sa ngatanan magahatag ug kalooy kaninyo, sa atubangan niadtong tawohana, aron iyang buhian kaninyo ang usa ninyo ka igsoon nga lalake, ug kini si Benjamin. Ug kong kamatyan ako sa akong mga anak, nan kamatyan ako.
15 So the men took the gifts that Jacob said that they should take, and twice the amount of money that the grain would cost, and they also took Benjamin. They went down quickly to Egypt, and they stood in front of Joseph.
Ug mikuha kadtong mga tawo ug gasa, ug gidala sa ilang kamot ang salapi nga pinilo, ug si Benjamin; ug mingtindog sila ug minglugsong sila ngadto sa Egipto, ug nangatubang sila kang Jose.
16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the man who (was in charge of/supervised) things in his house, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare a meal, because I want them to eat with me at noon.” [And he told him in what order they were to be seated].
Ug sa pagkakita ni Jose kang Benjamin uban kanila, miingon siya sa tinugyanan sa iyang balay: Pasudlon mo sa balay kanang mga tawohana, ug mag-ihaw ka, ug hikayon didto; kay kining mga tawohana maniudto uban kanako.
17 The man did as Joseph said. And he took them to Joseph’s house.
Ug gibuhat sa tawo ingon sa gisugo ni Jose, ug gipasulod niadtong tawohana ang mga tawo sa balay ni Jose.
18 But they were afraid because he was taking them to Joseph’s house. They were thinking, “He is taking us here because of the silver that was put in our sacks the first time that we came here. While we are eating, he will have his servants attack us and seize us and cause us to become his slaves, and also take our donkeys.”
Ug ang mga tawo nangahadlok, kay gipasulod sila sa balay ni Jose ug miingon sila: Tungod sa salapi nga giuli sa atong mga baluyot kaniadto, kita gipasulod nila dinhi, aron siya makakaplag ug higayon batok kanato, ug himoon kita nga mga ulipon ug ang atong mga asno.
19 They went with the man who was in charge of things in Joseph’s house. When they arrived at the entrance of the house,
Mingduol sila sa tinugyanan sa balay ni Jose, ug sila nakigsulti kaniya didto sa pultahan sa balay.
20 one of them said to him, “Please, sir, listen to me. We came down here previously and bought some grain.
Ug miingon sila: Oh ginoo ko, kami sa pagkamatuod minglugsong sa sinugdan sa pagpalit ug mga makaon;
21 But at the place where we stopped for the night as we were returning home, we opened our sacks. We were astonished to see that in the top of each of our sacks was the exact amount of silver that we had paid for the grain! So we have brought it back with us.
Ug nahitabo nga sa pag-abut namo sa abutanan, nga giablihan namo ang among mga baluyot, ug, ania karon, ang salapi sa tagsatagsa kanamo diha sa baba sa iyang baluyot, ang among salapi sa takdo gayud nga timbang: ug gibalik namo pagdala kini sa among mga kamot.
22 We have also brought more silver with us to buy more grain. We do not know who put the silver in our sacks.”
Nagdala usab kami sa among mga kamot ug lain nga salapi aron sa pagpalit ug makaon: kami wala mahibalo kong kinsa ang nagbutang sa among salapi sa among mga baluyot.
23 The man replied, [“Relax]! Do not worry about it! I received the silver that you brought. Your God, the God your father worships, must have put it in your sacks.” And then he brought Simeon to them from the prison.
Ug siya mitubag: Ang pakigdait anaa kaninyo, dili kamo mahadlok; ang inyong Dios ug ang Dios sa inyong amahan naghatag kaninyo ug bahandi sa inyong mga baluyot: ang inyong salapi ania kanako. Ug si Simeon iyang gidala ngadto kanila.
24 Then he took them into Joseph’s house. He gave them water to wash their feet and gave them food for the donkeys.
Ug gipasulod niadtong tawohana ang mga tawo ngadto sa balay ni Jose: ug sila gihatagan niya ug tubig, ug nanghimitiis sila sa ilang mga tiil ug gihatagan niya ug kompay ang ilang mga asno.
25 He told them that they were going to eat with Joseph at noon. So the men prepared their gifts to give to Joseph when he arrived.
Ug ilang gitagana ang gasa sa wala pa moabut si Jose sa udto, kay sila nakadungog nga sila mangaon didto ug tinapay.
26 When Joseph came home, they presented to him the gifts that they had brought into the house. Then they bowed down to the ground in front of him.
Ug sa miabut na si Jose sa balay, ug ilang gidala kaniya sa sulod sa balay ang gasa nga diha sa ilang kamot, ug mingyukbo sila kaniya ngadto sa yuta.
27 He asked them if they were (well/in good health), and then he asked, “How is the health of your old father, the one that you told me about? Is he still living?”
Ug siya nangutana kanila mahitungod sa ilang panglawas, ug miingon siya: Ang inyong amahan, ang tigulang nga giingon ninyo, Maayo ba siya? Buhi pa ba siya?
28 One of them replied, “Yes, our father, [who is willing to be] your servant, is still alive, and he is well.” Then again they bowed down in front of him.
Ug sila mitubag kaniya: Maayo man ang imong ulipon nga among amahan: buhi pa siya. Ug miduko sila ug naghatag sila ug katahuran.
29 Then he saw his [younger] brother Benjamin, his own mother’s other son. He asked them, “Is this your youngest brother, the one whom you told me about?” After they said “Yes,” he said to Benjamin, “Young man, I pray that God will act kindly toward you.”
Ug sa giyahat niya ang iyang mga mata nakita niya si Benjamin, igsoon nga lalake niya, anak sa iyang inahan, ug miingon siya: Mao ba kini ang inyong igsoon nga kamanghuran, nga inyong gisugilon kanako? Ug miingon siya: Ang Dios malooy kanimo, anak ko.
30 Joseph quickly left the room. He realized that he was about to cry because he (was full of emotion about his younger brother/loved his younger brother so much). He went into his private room and cried there.
Unya si Jose midali kay ang iyang kasingkasing nangandoy tungod sa iyang igsoon, ug nangita siya ug dapit sa paghilak: ug misulod siya sa iyang lawak, ug mihilak siya didto.
31 Then, after he washed the tears from his face, he came out, and controlling his emotions, he said to the servants, “Serve the food!”
Ug gihilam-usan niya ang iyang nawong, ug migula siya sa gawas, ug gipugngan niya ang iyang kaugalingon, ug miingon siya: Idulot ninyo ang tinapay.
32 The people of Egypt considered that it was disgraceful for them to eat with Hebrews, so the servants served food to Joseph by himself, and served the other people of Egypt who ate with him by themselves, and they served Joseph’s older brothers and younger brother by themselves.
Ug siya gidulotan nila sa laing lamesa, ug sila gidulotan usab sa laing lamesa, ug ang mga Egiptohanon nga nagkaon uban kaniya gilain pagdulot usab: kay ang mga Egiptohanon dili arang makakaon ug tinapay uban sa mga Hebreohanon: kay kana maoy usa ka butang nga mahugaw alang sa mga Egiptohanon.
33 His brothers were astonished to see that their seats were arranged according to their ages, from the oldest to the youngest!
Ug nanglingkod sila sa iyang atubangan, ang magulang ingon sa iyang pagkamagulang, ug ang manghud ingon sa iyang pagkamanghud, ug ang mga tawo nanghibulong nga nagtinan-away ang usa ug usa.
34 And when their portions of food were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as anyone else’s portion! So they ate food and drank wine with Joseph and became very cheerful.
Ug siya mikuha ug mga sud-an sa iyang atubangan nga gipahat kanila: apan ang pahat ni Benjamin lima ka bahin kay sa kang bisan kinsa kanila. Ug nanginum sila, ug nanagkalipay sila uban kaniya.
