Genesis 42
1 Now Jacob became aware that there was grain in Egypt. He said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
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 said, “See here, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy for us from there so we may live and not die.”
Au rena oi hambu nanaat sia Masir. Malole lenaꞌ mi hasa sia naa dei, fo ata afiꞌ mate ndoes.”
3 Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
De Yusuf aꞌa ka sanahulu nara, raote rae reu hasa nanaat sia Masir.
4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob did not send with his brothers, for he feared that harm might come to 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 The sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine was 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 Now Joseph was the governor over the land. He was the one who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph's brothers came and bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.
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 Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he disguised himself to them and spoke harshly with them. He said to them, “Where have you come from?” They said, “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 Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
9 Then Joseph remembered the dreams he had dreamed about them, and he said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the undefended parts 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 They said to him, “No, my master. 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 one man's sons. We are honest men. Your servants are not spies.”
Basa hai amaꞌ esa. Hai nda maku-maꞌu sa, amaꞌ! Hai atahori maloleꞌ.”
12 He said to them, “No, you have come to see the undefended parts 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 They said, “We your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. See, the youngest is this day with our father, and one brother is no longer alive.”
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 Joseph said to them, “It is what I said to you; 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 will be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you will not leave here, unless your youngest brother comes 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 yourselves and let him get your brother. You will remain in prison, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you.”
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 He put them all in custody for three days.
Boe ma Yusuf denu tao se bui rala reu fai telu.
18 Joseph said to them on the third day, “Do this and live, for 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 honest men, let one of your brothers be confined in this prison, but you go, carry 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 Bring your youngest brother to me so your words will be verified and you will not die.” So they did 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 They said to one another, “We are truly guilty concerning our brother in that we saw the distress of his soul when he pleaded with us and we would not listen. Therefore this distress has come upon 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 Reuben answered them, “Did I not tell you, 'Do not sin against the boy,' but you would not listen? Now, see, his blood is required of us.”
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 They did not know that Joseph understood them, for there was an interpreter 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 He turned from them and wept. He returned to them and spoke to them. He took Simeon from among them and bound 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 Then Joseph commanded his servants to fill his brothers' bags with grain, and to put every man's money back into his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. It was done for them.
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 The brothers loaded their donkeys with their grain and departed from there.
Basa de, Yusuf aꞌa nara rafufuaꞌ karon are ra risiꞌ kaledei ata. De ara lao baliꞌ.
27 As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey feed in the lodging place, he saw his money. Behold, it was in the opening of his sack.
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 He said to his brothers, “My money has been put back. Look at it; it is in my sack.” Their hearts sank and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that 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 They went to Jacob, their father in the land of Canaan and told him all that had happened to them. They said,
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, spoke roughly with us and thought that we were spies in 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 We said to him, 'We are honest men. We are not 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 no longer alive, and the youngest is this day 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 The man, the lord of the land, said to us, 'By this I will know that you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers with me, take grain for the famine in your houses, and go your way.
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 Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. Then I will release your brother to you, and you will trade in 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 It came about as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bag of silver was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bags of silver, they were 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 Jacob their father said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children. Joseph is no longer alive, Simeon is gone, and you will take Benjamin away. All these things are 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 Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “You may kill my two sons if I do not bring Benjamin back to you. Put him in my hands, and I will bring him to you again.”
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 Jacob said, “My son will not go down with you. For his brother is dead and he alone is left. If harm comes to him on the road in which you go, then you will bring down my gray hair with 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)
