Genesis 42
1 And Jacob having seen that there was a sale [of corn] in Egypt, said to his sons, Why are ye indolent?
Kane Jakobo owinjo ni cham yudore e piny Misri, nowacho ne yawuote niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ubet urangoru aranga?”
2 Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt; go down thither, and buy for us a little food, that we may live, and not die.
Nodhi nyime kowachonegi niya, “asewinjo ni nitie cham e piny Misri. Dhiuru kuno kendo ungʼiewnwa cham, mondo mi wabed mangima kendo kech kik negwa.”
3 And the ten brethren of Joseph went down to buy corn out of Egypt.
Eka owete Josef apar nodhi Misri mondo odhi ongʼiew cham.
4 But [Jacob] sent not Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, with his brethren; for he said, Lest, haply, disease befall him.
To Jakobo ne ok ooro Benjamin mowadgi Josef hie kodgi nikech noluor ni dipo ka gimoro ohinye.
5 And the sons of Israel came to buy with those that came, for the famine was in the land of Chanaan.
Kuom mano yawuot Jakobo kaachiel gi jo-Kanaan nodhi ngʼiewo cham nikech kech momako pinygi.
6 And Joseph was ruler of the land; he sold to all the people of the land. And the brethren of Joseph, having come, did reverence to him, [bowing] with the face to the ground.
To Josef ma jatend pinyno ema ji moa e pinje duto ne biro rundo kuome. Kuom mano, kane owete Josef ochopo, negikulore ne Josef nyaka e lowo.
7 And when Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them, and estranged himself from them, and spoke hard words to them; and said to them, Whence are ye come? And they said, Out of the land of Chanaan, to buy food.
Kane Josef oneno owetene, nofwenyogi to nowuondore mondo kik gingʼeye. Kendo nowuoyo kodgi gi gero kopenjogi niya, “Ua kanye?” To negidwoke niya, “Waa e piny Kanaan mondo wabi warund chiemo.”
8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
Kata obedo ni Josef nofwenyo owetene, gin to ne ok gifwenye.
9 And Joseph remembered his dream, which he saw; and he said to them, Ye are spies; to observe the marks of the land are ye come.
Eka noparo lek mane oleko kuomgi kendo nowachonegi niya, “Un okwach kich! Kendo usebiro mondo une-ane kama pinywa nyapgodo.”
10 But they said, Nay, Sir, we thy servants are come to buy food;
To negidwoke niya, “Ooyo ruodha. Jotichgi obiro mana mondo orund chiemo.
11 we are all sons of one man; we are peaceable, thy servants are not spies.
Waduto wan yawuot ngʼat achiel. Jotichgi gin joma kare, ma ok okwach kich.”
12 And he said to them, Nay, but ye are come to observe the marks of the land.
To Josef nomedo wachonegi niya, “Ooyo! Usebiro mana ni mondo ungʼe kama pinywa nyapgodo.”
13 And they said, We thy servants are twelve brethren, in the land of Chanaan; and, behold, the youngest is with our father to-day, but the other one is not.
To negiwacho niya, “Ruoth, jotichni ne yawuowi apar gariyo, yawuot ngʼat achiel, wadak e piny Kanaan. Owadwa ma chogo nyo odongʼ gi wuonwa, to achiel to ne olal.”
14 And Joseph said to them, This is it that I spoke to you, saying, ye are spies;
Josef nowachonegi niya, “En mana kaka ne awachonu: Un okwach kich!
15 herein shall ye be manifested; by the health of Pharao, ye shall not depart hence, unless your younger brother come hither.
Kendo ma e kaka ibiro temu: Akwongʼora e nying Farao ni ok unuwuok ka makmana ka ukelo owadu ma chogo ka.
16 Send one of you, and take your brother; and go ye to prison, till your words be clear, whether ye speak the truth or not; but, if not, by the health of Pharao, verily ye are spies.
Oruru achiel kuom oweteu mondo odhi oom owadu; to joma odongʼ ibiro kano e od twech, mondo mi wane anena ka weche ma uwacho gin adier. To ka ok gin adier, to akwongʼora gi nying Farao, ni un okwach kich!”
17 And he put them in prison three days.
Kendo noketogi duto e od twech kuom ndalo adek.
18 And he said to them on the third day, This do, and ye shall live, for I fear God.
Odiechiengʼ mar adek, Josef nowachonegi niya, “Timuru ma mondo mi udagi, nikech aluoro Nyasaye:
19 If ye be peaceable, let one of your brethren be detained in prison; but go ye, and carry back the corn ye have purchased.
Ka un joma kare, weuru achiel kuomu odongʼ ka, to joma odongʼ to odhiyo kendo oter cham ne joodu makoro chandore ka.
20 And bring your younger brother to me, and your words shall be believed; but, if not, ye shall die. And they did so.
To nyaka ukel owadu ma chogo ira, mondo omi angʼe ni uwacho adieri kendo mondo owaduni kik tho.” Kendo negitimo kamano.
21 And each said to his brother, Yes, indeed, for we are in fault concerning our brother, when we disregarded the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we hearkened not to him; and therefore has this affliction come upon us.
Negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Adier kum ni waseyudo nikech owadwa. Ne waneno ka chunye chandore kane osayowa mondo wares ngimane to ne ok wanyal winje. Ma ema omiyo chandruogni osebironwa.”
22 And Ruben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Hurt not the boy, and ye heard me not? and, behold, his blood is required.
Reuben nodwokogi niya, “Donge ne akwerou ni kik utimne rawerano marach? To ne ok unyal winja! Koro nyaka chulnwa kuor nikech rembe.”
23 But they knew not that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.
To ne ok gingʼeyo ni Josef owinjo gima giwacho nikech Josef noketo ngʼama lokone wach.
24 And Joseph turned away from them, and wept; and again he came to them, and spoke to them; and he took Symeon from them, and bound him before their eyes.
Kane Josef owuok irgi, noywak ahinya, bangʼe noduogo irgi mochako wuoyo kodgi. Nokawo Simeon mi otweye e nyimgi ka gineno.
25 And Joseph gave orders to fill their vessels with corn, and to return their money to each into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and it was so done to them.
Josef nogolo chik mondo oket cham e ogundegi, odwokne ngʼato ka ngʼato pesane mane obirogo e ogunde, kendo mondo omigi gima ginyalo chamo e wangʼ yo ka gidok. Bangʼ kane osetimonegi ma,
26 And having put the corn on the asses, they departed thence.
negiketo cham e ngʼe pundegi kendo gidhi.
27 And one having opened his sack to give his asses fodder, at the place where they rested, saw also his bundle of money, for it was on the mouth of his sack.
Kamane gibuore gotieno, achiel kuomgi nogonyo gunde mondo omi pundane chiemo, kendo noneno pesane ka otwe e dho ogunde.
28 And he said to his brethren, My money has been restored to me, and behold this is in my sack. And their heart was wonder-struck, and they were troubled, saying one to another, What is this that God has done to us?
Nowacho nowetene niya, “Osedwokna pesana, eri go en e dho ogunda.” Chunygi nobwok ma gibedo moluor kagiwacho niya, “Angʼo ma Nyasaye osetimonwa ni?”
29 And they came to their father, Jacob, into the land of Chanaan, and reported to him all that had happened to them, saying,
Kane gibiro ir Jakobo wuon-gi e piny Kanaan, neginyise duto mane osetimorenegi. Negiwacho niya,
30 The man, the lord of the land, spoke harsh words to us, and put us in prison as spies of the land.
“Ngʼat ma ruodh pinyno nowuoyo kodwa mager kendo nokawowa mana ka okwach kich modhi nono pinygi.
31 And we said to him, We are men of peace, we are not spies.
To ne wawachone ni, ‘Wan joma kare; ok wan okwach kich.
32 We are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is with his father to-day in the land of Chanaan.
Ne wan yawuowi apar gariyo, yawuot ngʼat achiel. Achiel kuomwa nolal, kendo ma chogo to odongʼ gi wuonwa e piny Kanaan.’
33 And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Herein shall I know that ye are peaceable; leave one brother here with me, and having taken the corn ye have purchased for your family, depart.
“Eka ruodhno nowachonwa ni, ‘Ma e kaka abiro ngʼeyo kata ka un joma kare: Achiel kuomu odongʼ ka kendo joma odongʼ oter chiemo ne joodu makoro chandore ka.
34 And bring to me your younger brother; then I shall know that ye are not spies, but that ye are men of peace: and I will restore you your brother, and ye shall trade in the land.
To kelnauru omeru ma chogo mondo mi abed gadiera ni ok un okwach kich to un joma kare. Eka anaduoknu owadu kendo ulok ohala e pinyni.’”
35 And it came to pass as they were emptying their sacks, there was each man's bundle of money in his sack; and they and their father saw their bundles of money, and they were afraid.
Kane gigonyo ogundegi, ngʼato ka ngʼato noyudo ofuku mar pesane e dho gunde! Kane gineno pesago, giduto ne gibuok ahinya kaachiel gi wuon-gi.
36 And their father Jacob said to them, Ye have bereaved me. Joseph is not, Symeon is not, and will ye take Benjamin? all these things have come upon me.
Jakobo wuon-gi nowachonegi niya, “Usemaya nyithinda. Josef onge, kendo Simeon bende onge, kendo koro Benjamin bende udwaro maya. Gik moko duto ok nikare koda!”
37 And Ruben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee; give him into my hand, and I will bring him back to thee.
Eka Reuben nowacho ne wuon-gi niya, “Inyalo nego yawuota ka ok aduogoni Benjamin. Weye e lweta kendo abiro duoge.”
38 But he said, My son shall not go down with you, because his brother is dead, and he only has been left; and [suppose] it shall come to pass that he is afflicted by the way by which ye go, then ye shall bring down my old age with sorrow to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
To Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Wuoda ok nyal dhi kuno kodu; owadgi osetho kendo en kende ema odongʼ, ka gimoro marach otimorene e wuodhno, to ubiro miyo atho gi kuyo.” (Sheol h7585)
