< Genesis 43 >

1 The famine in Canaan got worse.
Ana knafina Kenani mopafina tusi zamagatontoza fore huno vu'ne.
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!”
Isipi mopareti'ma mizase'za eri'za e'naza ne'zama nehana hazageno, nezmafa'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Ete mago'ene vuta ne'zana ome mizaseho.
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.’
Hianagi Juda'a amanage huno nafa'amofona asami'ne, Ana kva ne'mo'a hankavenentake ke huranteno amanage hu'ne. Tamagra nagna tamimofoma avreta ome sanage'na tamavufina ontamagegosue huno higeta e'none.
4 So, if you will send our younger brother with us, we will go down to Egypt and buy some grain for you.
Kagrama naganatima atresankeno'ma tagra'enema esaniana, tagra uramita nezanka'a ome miza huta egahune.
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.’”
Hianagi kagrama Benzamenima atresnankeno'ma tagra'nema omesniana tagra ovugahune. Na'ankure ana Isipi kva ne'mo'a amanage huno tasami'ne, Tamagna timimofoma avretama omesazana nagri navumo'a ontamagegahie hu'ne.
6 Jacob asked, “Why did you cause me to have this trouble by telling the man that you had a younger brother?”
Anage nehazageno Jekopu'a (Israeli) amanage hu'ne, Tamagra nahigeta ana kva nera magora naganatia mani'ne huta asmi'nageno anankea hu'ne? E'ina'ma hu'naza zamo'a nagrira tusi'a zampi nazeri haviza haze.
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]
Hianagi zamagra asami'za, Ana kva ne'mo'a ana maka'mota tantahige tantahige huno tagriku'ene, vahetigu'ene, tantahigeno amanage hu'ne, Nermafa'a ofri amne mani'nefi? Hagi magora naganatamimo'a mani'neo? Huno higeta tamagra naganatamimofona avreta eho hani'a nanekea ontahineta kenona'a hu'none.
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.
Hutazageno Juda'a nafa'amofo Jekopuna amanage huno asmi'ne, Ana ne'mofavre Benzamenina huntegeno nagrane vanigeta, tagrane kagrane mofavre'zagatine tagakura huta ofrita mani'mneno.
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)].
Nagrani'a huvempa huanki'na Benzamenina kegava krintegahue, hanki kvama hu'so'e osanugeno'ma hazenkema eri'na ana knazana nagra erigahue. Hagi kagri kavure'ma avre'na omesuna nagra ana knazana erigahue. Nehanugeno ana knazamo'a nagrane mevava hugahie.
10 If we had not (wasted so much time/waited so long), by now we could have gone there and returned two times!”
Hianagi tagrama avega ontetasina, menina tagra tare zupa vuta ete huta ne'zana eruntesine.
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.
Nezmafa Israeli'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Tamagrama Benzamenima avreta vunaku'ma hanuta amana hiho, mago'a knare'nare zafa rgama mopatifima me'neana kutamifina erinerita mago'a tusa masevene (balm), tumemofo rima'ane, (honey) mananentake masavene, mananentake zafa rine, pistasios zafa ragane, almoni zafa raganena eri'neta vuta ana kva nera musezana ome amiho.
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.
Ana nehuta mago'a zagoa eri aguheta tamazampina e'rineta, zamage kaniza e'ririnegahazanki, kutamifima erarinagetama erita e'naza zagonena erineta vuta ome amiho.
13 Take your younger brother and go back to that man.
Ana nehutma nagna tami'mofona otita ame huta avretma ete ana kva nete viho.
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!”
Hagi nunamu huankino hihamu'ane Anumzamo ana ne'mofo avure asunku huramantesuno'a, mago neramafune, Benzamenikiznia zanatre sanigeke ete egaha'e. Hagi nagrama mofavre ni'amokizmigu'ma nasunku'ma hanuna, nagra nasunku nehu'na manigahue.
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.
Jekopu'a anage hige'za mofavre naga'amo'za ana muse'zana (gift) e'neri'za, mago'ane zagoa eriguhe'za zamazampi e'neri'za, Benzamenina nevre'za oti'za Isipi moparega vu'za ana kva ne' Josefe avure uoti'naze.
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].
Hagi zamagranema nagana'amo Benzameni ne-egeno Josefe'ma negeno'a noma'afi eri'za ne'a amanage huno hunte'ne, Ama vahera zamavarenka nompi ome nezmantenka, mago afu ome ahenka krenka ne'zana retro huo. Na'ankure zamagra nagrane feru ne'zana negahune.
17 The man did as Joseph said. And he took them to Joseph’s house.
Eri'za ne'amo'a agrama ke hiaza huno zamavareno Josefe nompi ome zamante'ne.
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.”
Anama huno Josefe eri'za ne'mo'ma zamavareno nompi vige'za kore nehu'za amanage hu'za hu'naze. Ko'ma kutifima eriri rante'nea zagoreku huno tavre noma'afi tanteankino, tantahinegeno tazerino kazokzo eri'za vahe'a trohu neranteno mika donkitinena avre vagaregahie.
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,
Anage nehu'za Josefe nompi eri'za nete, Josefe no kasante vu'za ome asami'za,
20 one of them said to him, “Please, sir, listen to me. We came down here previously and bought some grain.
amanage hu'naze, ra netimoke, tagra ko'ma amare e'tama nezama eme miza senona naga e'none.
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.
Hianagi ne'zama miza huteta, kantega umsenaku hunte kutima eriheta huta konana, magoke magokemota ne'zama mizase'nona kante zagotia kutimofo avazare me'negeta keteta ama erita e'none.
22 We have also brought more silver with us to buy more grain. We do not know who put the silver in our sacks.”
Aza ana zago'a eririranteneo e'i ana vahera onke'none. Antahita keta osu'neta ana zagone ete mago'ane ne'za miza hanune huta eritru huna zagonena erineta e'none.
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.
Anage hazageno Josefe eri'za ne'mo'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Knare huta manigahazanki koro osuta akoheta maniho. Tamagri Anumzane, neramafa Anumzamo kutamifina zagoa eriramante'negahie. Nagra zagotmia ko namizage'na eri'noe. Nehuno Simeoni ome avreno eme zami'ne.
24 Then he took them into Joseph’s house. He gave them water to wash their feet and gave them food for the donkeys.
Ana huteno Josefe eri'za ne'mo'a nompi zamavareno eno, tina tagi zamige'za zamaga sese nehazageno, donki zamimofona ne'zana zami'ne.
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.
Ana nehazage'za Josefe'ma agra noma'afi ferura ne'za negahune hige'za antahi'nagu avega ante'za mani'ne'za musezana (gift) eri antente'naze.
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.
Hagi Josefe'ma nontegama ne-ege'za nege'za, musezama eri'za e'naza zana eme nemi'za mopafi zamarena re'za avuga kepri hunte'naze.
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?”
Anante Josefe'a knare huta mani'nazo huno hu so'e hunezmanteno, anage huno zmantahige'ne, Ko'ma neramafanku'ma ozafa reno mani'ne huta nasmi'nazana, agra menina knare huno mani'nefi? Ofri mani'neo?
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.
Hige'za zamagra anage hu'za asmi'naze, Nerafa'a eri'za nekamo'a knare huno ofri mani'ne. Anage hu'za nesami'za agafi kepri hu'za razampi antahimi'naze.
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.”
Ana hunentageno kesga huno nagna'amofo Benzameni, nerera mofavre negeno amanage huno hu'ne, Ama mofavrea neragana e'ma hutama nasmi'naza mofavrefi? Josefe anage nehuno, Anumzamo'a knare huno mofavrenimoka kaza huno asomu hugantegahie hu'ne.
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.
Josefe'a negna negeno zavi atesia agesa higeno, hantka huno zamatreno zavi ate'sia kumaku hakreno nemasefinka asafi (rum) ufreno zavi ome ate'ne.
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!”
Zaviteteno avugosa sese huteno asu'zana eri rentrako nehuno, megi'a atiramino amanage huno zamasmi'ne, ne'za atinketa namaneno.
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.
Josefe ne'zana arure atimi'za, zamagrira arure atinte zamante'za, Isipi naga'mo'za zamagragu ne'zana ne'naze. Na'ankure Isipi vahe'mo'za Hibru vahe'enena magopina bretia onegahaze. Isipi vahe'mo'za Hibru vahe'enema magopi kave ne'zankura zamesra huno zamagotegahie.
33 His brothers were astonished to see that their seats were arranged according to their ages, from the oldest to the youngest!
Hagi pusa mofavrereti agafa huno fore hu'nare, ranteti vuno osite zamazeri rempi huzmantage'za mani'ne'za tusi'a zampi zamano nevazige'za zamagogogu nehu'za ovufi avufi hu'naze.
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.
Josefe itareti eri'za vahe'mo'za ne'zana refko hu'za afuhe'i ome ante nezmante'za, Benzameni tafepina 5fu'a vahe'mo'za nega ne'za antente'naze. E'ina hige'za magopi mani'ne'za knare hu'za ne'zane, tine nene'za muse hu'naze.
