Genesis 43
1 Sracl in acn Canaan yokyokelik,
The famine was severe in the land.
2 ac ke sou lal Jacob kangla nufon wheat ma utuku Egypt me ah, Jacob el fahk nu sin tulik mukul natul, “Tal sifilpa folokla ac molema pac kutu mongo ah nasr.”
When they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said to them, “Go again, buy us a little more food.”
3 Ac Judah el fahk nu sel, “Mwet sac fahkma kalem na nu sesr lah kut tia ku in sifilpa utyak nu ye mutal tamulel se lasr inge fin tia wi kut.
Judah spoke to him, saying, “The man solemnly warned us, saying, ‘You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.’
4 Kom fin lela tamulel se lasr inge in wi kut, na kut ac som moul mongo.
If you’ll send our brother with us, we’ll go down and buy you food;
5 A kom fin tia lela, na kut tia som, mweyen mwet sac fahkma nu sesr mu ac fah tiana filfilla kut in utyak ye mutal ma lesr fin tia wi kut.”
but if you don’t send him, we won’t go down, for the man said to us, ‘You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.’”
6 Jacob el fahk, “Efu ku komtal fahkang nu sin mwet sac lah oasr pac tamulel se lomtal, oru arulana upa nu sik?”
Israel said, “Why did you treat me so badly, telling the man that you had another brother?”
7 Elos fahk, “Mwet sac sikalani na in siyuk kacsr ac ke sou lasr uh. El fahk, ‘Ku papa tomomtal an srakna moul? Ku oasr pac tamulel lomtal saya?’ Kut enenu na in topuk kusen siyuk lal inge. Kut ac etu fuka lah el ac sap kut in us tamulel se lasr inge wi kut?”
They said, “The man asked directly concerning ourselves, and concerning our relatives, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?’ We just answered his questions. Is there any way we could know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down’?”
8 Judah el fahk nu sin papa tumal, “Fuhlelma elan wiyu, ac kut ac fah mukuiyak ingena. Na ac fah wangin sesr misa ke masrinsral.
Judah said to Israel, his father, “Send the boy with me, and we’ll get up and go, so that we may live, and not die, both we, and you, and also our little ones.
9 Nga ac wulewot ke moul luk sifacna, lah ma kunuk in fosrngakunul ac karinganul tuh in wangin ma el sis nwe ke na nga folokunulma nu yurum. Fin tia ouinge, lela mwata in oan fuk nwe tok.
I’ll be collateral for him. From my hand will you require him. If I don’t bring him to you, and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever;
10 Kut funu tia kolokin nwe inge, kut lukun som folok pacl luo lac tari.”
for if we hadn’t delayed, surely we would have returned a second time by now.”
11 Ac Jacob el fahk nu selos, “Kwal, fin pa na ‘ngan ma ac orek uh, tal us kutu fokinsak ma wo emeet ke acn sesr uh in pak lomtal an, mwe lung nu sel governor: kutu ono keng, kutu honey, mwe akyu mongo, fiten pistachio ac almond.
Their father, Israel, said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Take from the choice fruits of the land in your bags, and carry down a present for the man, a little balm, a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts, and almonds;
12 Utuk mani pac in yohk liki meet ah, mweyen komtal enenu in folokunla mani ma oan in pak lomtal ah. Sahp tafongla se pa ma sac.
and take double money in your hand, and take back the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was an oversight.
13 Us tamulel se lomtal inge, sulaklak fahsrot.
Take your brother also, get up, and return to the man.
14 Lela God Kulana Elan oru in oasr pakomuta lun mwet sac nu sumtal, elan ma folokunulot Benjamin ac tamulel se ngia nu sumtal. Ac funu nga, tulik nutik uh fin nuna ma ac tuhlac likiyu, na ac fuka oreya.”
May God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.”
15 Ouinge tamulel inge eis mwe lung ac mani pacl luo yohk liki meet ah, ac mukuiyak nu Egypt, ac Benjamin el welulos. Ke elos sun acn we, elos utyak na nwe ye mutal Joseph.
The men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and got up, went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
16 Ke Joseph el liyalak Benjamin lah el welulos, el fahk nu sin mwet kulansap se su taran ma nukewa lohm sel ah, “Usla mwet inge nu lohm ah. Elos ac wiyu mongo ke infulwen len uh. Tuh uniya soko kosro ah, ac akoela.”
When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Bring the men into the house, and butcher an animal, and prepare; for the men will dine with me at noon.”
17 Mwet kulansap sac oru oana ke sapkin nu sel. El pwanla tamulel inge nu lohm sel Joseph.
The man did as Joseph commanded, and the man brought the men to Joseph’s house.
18 Ke utukla elos nu lohm sac, elos sangeng ac nunku in elos sifacna, “Utuku kut nu inse inge ke sripen mani ma tuh oan in pak lasr ke fahsr se lasr meet ah. Elos ac forma uni kut, eisla donkey natusr uh, ac oru kut in mwet kohs lun leum sac.”
The men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph’s house; and they said, “Because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time, we’re brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, attack us, and seize us as slaves, along with our donkeys.”
19 Ouinge ke elos sun acn in utyak nu in lohm ah, elos fahk nu sin mwet kulansap sac,
They came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,
20 “Leum se, nunak munas porongekut. Kut tuh tuku pac nu inge meet in moul mongo.
and said, “Oh, my lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food.
21 Ke kut folok nu yen sesr, ac tui inkanek lasr in mongla ke fongeni, kut konauk mani lasr ah nufon, oanna oelucng in pak lun kais sie sesr. Pa kut folokonma inge.
When we came to the lodging place, we opened our sacks, and behold, each man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight. We have brought it back in our hand.
22 Kut oayapa utuk mani saya in tuh sifil moli kutu mongo ah. Kut tiana etu lah su tuh folokonang mani ah nu in pak lasr ah.”
We have brought down other money in our hand to buy food. We don’t know who put our money in our sacks.”
23 Mwet kulansap sac fahk, “Nimet elya kac. Nimet sangeng. Sahp God lowos, God lun papa tomowos, pa filiya mani an in pak lowos ah. Nga sruokya tari molin ma kowos eis meet ah.” Na el usalu Simeon nu yorolos.
He said, “Peace be to you. Don’t be afraid. Your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks. I received your money.” He brought Simeon out to them.
24 Mwet kulansap sac usak tamulel ekasr ah nu in lohm ah. El sang kof nu selos in ohlla nialos, ac el kiteya donkey natulos.
The man brought the men into Joseph’s house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet. He gave their donkeys fodder.
25 Elos akoela mwe lung lalos ah, in sang nu sel Joseph ke el ac tuku ke infulwen len ah, mweyen fwackyang tari nu selos lah elos ac welul mongo.
They prepared the present for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there.
26 Ke Joseph el sun lohm ah, elos us mwe lung lalos uh nu sel, ac pasrla nwe infohk uh ye mutal.
When Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves down to the earth before him.
27 El siyuk selos lah elos fuka, na el sifil fahk, “Komtal tuh fahk nu sik ke matuoh lun papa tomomtal ah. El fuka? El srakna moul ac ku na?”
He asked them of their welfare, and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he yet alive?”
28 Elos fahk, “Papa tumasr, mwet kulansap lom, el srakna moul ac el ku na.” Na elos muta liplipi ac pasrla nwe ten ye mutal.
They said, “Your servant, our father, is well. He is still alive.” They bowed down humbly.
29 Ke Joseph el liyalak Benjamin, ma lel, el fahk, “Ya pa inge tamulel se ma fusr emeet lomtal, ma komtal srumun nu sik ah? Ma nutik, God Elan akinsewowoye kom.”
He lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?” He said, “God be gracious to you, my son.”
30 Na Joseph el kina tuyak ac som lukelos, mweyen el arulana asroela tulik wial inge, ac apkuran elan tungyak. Ouinge el som nu infukil sel ac tung we.
Joseph hurried, for his heart yearned over his brother; and he sought a place to weep. He entered into his room, and wept there.
31 Tukun el twanla mutal el ilme ac liksreni kutong nunak lal, ac sapkin in tari yuyui mongo uh.
He washed his face, and came out. He controlled himself, and said, “Serve the meal.”
32 Kitakat Joseph ke sie tepu uh, ac tamulel lal ah ke sie pacna tepu. Mwet Egypt ma welulos mongo uh srengla liki mwet inge ac mongo ke sie pacna tepu, ke sripen elos filiya in nunak lalos mu mwet Hebrew uh kupansuwol in welulos mongo.
They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians don’t eat with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
33 Tamulel inge muta ke tepu se, forang nu yorol Joseph, tuh na eltal muta tak in na matwa, matu nwe ke fusr. Ke elos akilen ouiyen mutangalos, elos tukeni angetani ac arulana fwefela.
They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth, and the men marvelled with one another.
34 Mwe mongo uh kitakat nu selos liki tepu lal Joseph, ac kitakat Benjamin pacl limekosr yohk liki mwet wial ah nukewa. Ouinge elos welul Joseph mongo ac nim, nwe ke na elos arulana sruhila.
He sent portions to them from before him, but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. They drank, and were merry with him.
