Genesis 42
1 NOW when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon 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 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that 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 And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
De Yusuf aꞌa ka sanahulu nara, raote rae reu hasa nanaat sia Masir.
4 But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall 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 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that 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 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
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 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And 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 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
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 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
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 true men, thy servants are no spies.
Basa hai amaꞌ esa. Hai nda maku-maꞌu sa, amaꞌ! Hai atahori maloleꞌ.”
12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
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 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
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 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
Yusuf nataa se nae, “Hokoꞌ! Saa fo au olaꞌ faꞌ ra, tebꞌe! Hei ia ra memaꞌ mana maku-maꞌuꞌ.
15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
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 you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
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 And he put them all together into ward three days.
Boe ma Yusuf denu tao se bui rala reu fai telu.
18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, 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 ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn 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 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And 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 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress 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 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
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 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
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 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, 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 to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto 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 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
Basa de, Yusuf aꞌa nara rafufuaꞌ karon are ra risiꞌ kaledei ata. De ara lao baliꞌ.
27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack’s mouth.
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 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto 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 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
Basa naa ma, ara lao rakandoo. Losa Kanaꞌan ma, ara dui ama na, basa saa mana dadꞌi neu se.
30 The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
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 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
Te hai mitaa mae, “Hokoꞌ! Hai olaꞌ no matetuꞌ. Hai ia ra nda mana maku-maꞌu sa.
32 We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, 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 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
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 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick 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 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, 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 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye 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 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee 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 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (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)
