Genesis 43

1 And the famine [is] severe in the land;

Ary mafy ny mosary teo amin’ ny tany.

2 and it cometh to pass, when they have finished eating the corn which they brought from Egypt, that their father saith unto them, 'Turn back, buy for us a little food.'

Ary rehefa laniny ny vary izay efa nalainy tany Egypta, dia hoy ny rainy taminy: Mandehana indray, mividia hanina kely ho antsika.

3 And Judah speaketh unto him, saying, 'The man protesting protested to us, saying, Ye do not see my face without your brother [being] with you;

Ary Joda niteny taminy ka nanao hoe: Efa nilaza mafy taminay ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Tsy hahita ny tavako ianareo, raha tsy hiaraka aminareo ilay rahalahinareo.

4 if thou art sending our brother with us, we go down, and buy for thee food,

Raha hampandehaninao hiaraka aminay ny rahalahinay, dia hidina izahay ka hividy hanina ho anao;

5 and if thou art not sending — we do not go down, for the man said unto us, Ye do not see my face without your brother [being] with you.'

fa raha tsy hampandehaninao izy, dia tsy hidina izahay; fa hoy ralehilahy taminay: Tsy hahita ny tavako ianareo, raha tsy hiaraka aminareo ilay rahalahinareo.

6 And Israel saith, 'Why did ye evil to me, by declaring to the man that ye had yet a brother?'

Ary hoy Isiraely: Nahoana no dia nampidi-doza tamiko ianareo ka nanambara tamin-dralehilahy fa mbola nanan-drahalahy koa ianareo?

7 and they say, 'The man asked diligently concerning us, and concerning our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye a brother? and we declare to him according to the tenor of these things; do we certainly know that he will say, Bring down your brother?'

Ary hoy izy ireo: Nanadina dia nanadina ny amin’ ny tenanay sy ny mpianakavinay ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Mbola velona ihany va izay rainareo? ary manan-drahalahy hafa koa va ianareo? Dia nambaranay taminy araka izany teny izany; moa nampoizinay akory va izay hanaovany hoe: Ento midìna ny rahalahinareo?

8 And Judah saith unto Israel his father, 'Send the youth with me, and we arise, and go, and live, and do not die, both we, and thou, and our infants.

Ary hoy Joda tamin’ Isiraely rainy: Ampandehano hiaraka amiko ny zaza, dia hiainga izahay ka handeha, mba ho velona isika ka tsy ho faty, dia izahay sy ianao ary ny zanatsika madinika koa.

9 I — I am surety [for] him, from my hand thou dost require him; if I have not brought him in unto thee, and set him before thee — then I have sinned against thee all the days;

Izaho no hiantoka azy; amin’ ny tanako no handraisanao azy; raha tsy ho entiko atỳ aminao ka hatolotro eto anatrehanao izy, dia ho meloka aminao amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainako aho;

10 for if we had not lingered, surely now we had returned these two times.'

fa raha tsy nijanonjanona izahay, dia efa tafaverina fanindroany toy izay.

11 And Israel their father saith unto them, 'If so, now, this do: take of the praised thing of the land in your vessels, and take down to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds;

Ary hoy Isiraely rainy taminy: Raha izany ary no izy, dia izao no ataovy: analao ny vokatra malaza amin’ ny tany ka ataovy ao anatin’ ny fitondran-entanareo, dia ento midìna haterina ho an-dralehilahy, dia balsama kely sy tantely kely, ditin-kazo nekota sy lota sy pistakia ary amygdala;

12 and double money take in your hand, even the money which is brought back in the mouth of your bags, ye take back in your hand, it may be it [is] an oversight.

ary mitondra vola toraka ny teo eny an-tananareo; ary ilay vola izay naverina teo am-bavan’ ny lasakanareo dia ento miverina indray; angamba fahadisoana izany.

13 'And take your brother, and rise, turn back unto the man;

Ary ny rahalahinareo ento ihany; dia miainga ka miverena indray ho any amin-dralehilahy;

14 and God Almighty give to you mercies before the man, so that he hath sent to you your other brother and Benjamin; and I, when I am bereaved — I am bereaved.'

ary Andriamanitra Tsitoha anie hampahita famindram-po anareo eo anatrehan-dralehilahy, mba hampodiny ny rahalahinareo anankiray sy Benjamina. Ary izaho, raha foanana anaka aho, dia foana anaka ihany.

15 And the men take this present, double money also they have taken in their hand, and Benjamin; and they rise, and go down to Egypt, and stand before Joseph;

Dia nentin’ ireo lehilahy ireo ny zavatra hateriny, ary vola indroa toraka ny teo koa no nentiny teny an-tànany mbamin’ i Benjamina; ary niainga izy, dia nidina tany Egypta ka tonga teo anatrehan’ i Josefa.

16 and Joseph seeth Benjamin with them, and saith to him who [is] over his house, 'Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal, and make ready, for with me do the men eat at noon.'

Ary Josefa, raha nahita an’ i Benjamina niaraka taminy, dia nanao tamin’ ny mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony hoe: Ampidiro atsy an-trano ireo lehilahy ireo, dia amonoy zavatra izy ka anaovy nahandro; fa hiara-mihinana amiko izy raha mitataovovonana ny andro.

17 And the man doth as Joseph hath said, and the man bringeth in the men into the house of Joseph,

Dia nataon-dralehilahy araka izay nandidian’ i Josefa; ka nampidirin-dralehilahy tao an-tranon’ i Josefa ireo.

18 and the men are afraid because they have been brought into the house of Joseph, and they say, 'For the matter of the money which was put back in our bags at the commencement are we brought in — to roll himself upon us, and to throw himself on us, and to take us for servants — our asses also.'

Dia raiki-tahotra ireo lehilahy ireo, satria nampidirina tao an-tranon’ i Josefa, ka hoy izy: Maintsy ilay vola naverina tao anatin’ ny lasakantsika fahiny va no nampidirana antsika, hivarinany amintsika sy hianjerany amintsika! dia halainy ho andevo isika, ary halainy koa ny borikintsika.

19 And they come nigh unto the man who [is] over the house of Joseph, and speak unto him at the opening of the house,

Dia nanatona an-dralehilahy, mpikarakara ny tao an-tranon’ i Josefa, izy ka niteny taminy teo am-baravaran’ ny trano nanao hoe:

20 and say, 'O, my lord, we really come down at the commencement to buy food;

Mba henoy kely izahay, tompokolahy: nidina hividy hanina tokoa izahay fahiny:

21 and it cometh to pass, when we have come in unto the lodging-place, and open our bags, that lo, each one's money [is] in the mouth of his bag, our money in its weight, and we bring it back in our hand;

ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ izay nandrianay izahay, dia nosokafanay ny lasakanay, ka indreo ny volanay isan-dahy teo am-bavan’ ny lasakanay avy, tonga lanja avokoa ny volanay; ary efa nentinay niverina eto an-tananay izany.

22 and other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food; we have not known who put our money in our bags.'

Ary nitondra vola hafa koa eto an-tananay izahay hamidy hanina: tsy fantatray izay nanao ny volanay tao anatin’ ny lasakanay.

23 And he saith, 'Peace to you, fear not: your God and the God of your father hath given to you hidden treasure in your bags, your money came unto me;' and he bringeth out Simeon unto them.

Ary hoy izy: Matokia ianareo, fa aza matahotra; Andriamanitrareo, dia Andriamanitry ny rainareo, no nanome anareo harena tao anatin’ ny lasakanareo; ny volanareo dia efa tonga tatỳ amiko ihany. Dia namoaka an’ i Simeona ho eo aminy izy.

24 And the man bringeth in the men into Joseph's house, and giveth water, and they wash their feet; and he giveth provender for their asses,

Ary nampidirin-dralehilahy tao an-tranon’ i Josefa ireo olona ireo ka nomeny rano, dia nanasa tongotra izy, ary ny borikiny nomeny hanina koa.

25 and they prepare the present until the coming of Joseph at noon, for they have heard that there they do eat bread.

Dia nandamina ny zavatra hateriny izy mandra-pihavin’ i Josefa rehefa mitataovovonana ny andro; fa efa reny fa eo no hihinanany hanina.

26 And Joseph cometh into the house, and they bring to him the present which [is] in their hand, into the house, and bow themselves to him, to the earth;

Ary rehefa tonga tao an-trano Josefa, dia nampidirin’ izy mirahalahy avy ho ao an-trano mba hatolotra azy ireo zavatra efa nentiny, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehany izy.

27 and he asketh of them of peace, and saith, 'Is your father well? the aged man of whom ye have spoken, is he yet alive?'

Ary Josefa nanontany ny toeny ka nanao hoe: Tsara ihany va ny rainareo, ilay lahy antitra nolazainareo? mbola velona ihany va izy?

28 and they say, 'Thy servant our father [is] well, he is yet alive;' and they bow, and do obeisance.

Dia hoy izy: Tsara ihany ny mpanomponao rainay; mbola velona ihany izy. Dia niondrika izy ireo ka niankohoka.

29 And he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth Benjamin his brother, his mother's son, and saith, 'Is this your young brother, of whom ye have spoken unto me?' and he saith, 'God favour thee, my son.'

Ary Josefa nanopy ny masony ka nahita an’ i Benjamina rahalahiny, zanakalahin’ ny reniny, dia hoy izy: Io va no zandrinareo faralahy, izay nolazainareo tamiko? Sady hoy koa izy: Andriamanitra anie hanisy soa anao, anaka

30 And Joseph hasteth, for his bowels have been moved for his brother, and he seeketh to weep, and entereth the inner chamber, and weepeth there;

Dia niala faingana Josefa, fa nangorakoraka ny fony noho ny rahalahiny, ka nitady izay hitomaniany izy; dia niditra tao an-efi-trano izy ka nitomany tao.

31 and he washeth his face, and goeth out, and refraineth himself, and saith, 'Place bread.'

Ary rehefa nanasa ny tavany izy, dia nivoaka; ary nanindry ny fangorakoraky ny fony izy ka nanao hoe: Ento ny nahandro.

32 And they place for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who are eating with him by themselves: for the Egyptians are unable to eat bread with the Hebrews, for it [is] an abomination to the Egyptians.

Dia narosony mitokana ny ho an’ i Josefa, ary mitokana ny ho an’ ny rahalahiny, ary mitokana koa ny ho an’ ny Egyptiana izay nihinana teo aminy, satria ny Egyptiana tsy mahazo miara-komana amin’ ny Hebreo, fa fahavetavetana amin’ ny Egyptiana izany.

33 And they sit before him, the first-born according to his birthright, and the young one according to his youth, and the men wonder one at another;

Dia nipetraka teo anatrehany izy, ny lahimatoa araka ny fizokiany, ary ny faralahy araka ny fizandriany; dia samy talanjona ka nifampijerijery izy.

34 and he lifteth up gifts from before him unto them, and the gift of Benjamin is five hands more than the gifts of all of them; and they drink, yea, they drink abundantly with him.

Ary samy nitondrana anjara-hanina avy teo anoloan’ i Josefa izy mirahalahy avy; kanefa ny anjara-hanin’ i Benjamina dia indimy toraka ny anjaran-drery tamin’ izy rehetra. Dia niara-nisotro sy nivoky divay teo aminy izy.
