< Genesis 43 >

1 The famine in Canaan got worse.
Nakaro ti panagbisin iti daga.
2 Finally, when Jacob and his family had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, Jacob said to them, “Go back to Egypt and buy some more grain for us!”
Napasamak nga idi nakandan ti bukbukel nga insangpetda manipud idiay Egipto, ket kinuna ti amada kadakuada, “Mapankayo manen; gumatangkayo iti taraontayo.”
3 But Judah said to him, “The man who sold us the grain warned us sternly, ‘I will not let you see me [SYN] again if you come and your younger brother is not with you.’
Imbaga ni Juda kenkuana, “Nainget iti panangballaag kadakami ti lalaki, 'Saanyonto a makita ti rupak malaksid no kaduayo ti kabsatyo.'
4 So, if you will send our younger brother with us, we will go down to Egypt and buy some grain for you.
No paikuyogmo kadakami ti kabsatmi, sumalogkami ket igatangandaka iti taraon.
5 But if you will not send him, we will not go down there, because that man said to us, ‘I will not let you see me again if your younger brother is not with you.’”
Ngem no saanmo a kayat nga isurotmi isuna, saankami a sumalog. Ta imbaga ti lalaki kadakami, “Saanyonto a makita ti rupak malaksid no kaduayo ti kabsatyo.”'
6 Jacob asked, “Why did you cause me to have this trouble by telling the man that you had a younger brother?”
Kinuna ni Israel, “Apay a pinagaramidandak iti saan a nasayaat babaen iti panangibagayo iti lalaki nga adda pay sabali a kabsatyo?
7 One of them replied, “The man asked about us and about our family. He said, ‘Is your father still living? Do you have another brother?’ We had to answer his questions. (We could not know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’/How could we know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’)” [RHQ]
Kinunada, “Nagsaludsod ti lalaki maipanggep kadakami ken iti pamiliatayo. Kinunana, 'Sibibiag pay kadi ti Amayo? Adda pay kadi sabali a kabsatyo?' Sinungbatanmi isuna segun kadagitoy a salsaludsod. Ammomi aya ngarud met nga ibagana nga, 'Itugotyo ditoy ti kabsatyo?'”
8 Then Judah said to his father Jacob, “Send the boy with me, and we will go immediately, in order that we and you and our children may get grain and not die from hunger.
Kinuna ni Juda kenni Israel nga amana, “Italekmo kaniak ti ubing. Agrubbuatkamin a mapan tapno agbiagtayo a saan ket a matay, datayo, sika ken kasta met dagiti annaktayo.
9 I myself will guarantee that he will return. You can require me to do what I am promising [IDM]. If I do not bring him back to you safely, you can say forever that (I am to blame/it was my fault [that he did not return to you)].
Siak ti makaammo kenkuana. No saanko isuna a maisubli kenka ken maidatag iti sangoanam, uray siak lattan ti mangawit iti pammabasol iti agnanayon.
10 If we had not (wasted so much time/waited so long), by now we could have gone there and returned two times!”
Ta no saankami koma a nataktak, awan dua-dua a kapaminduami koman ita a nagsubli ditoy.
11 Then their father Jacob said to them, “If there is no other way, do this: Put in your sacks some of the best things that are grown in this land, and take them down to the man as a gift. Take some balm/perfume and honey and spices and myrrh/ointment, some pistachio nuts, and almonds.
Kinuna ti amada a ni Israel kadakuada, “No kasta ngarud, ita, kastoy ti aramidenyo.” Mangalakayo kadagiti kasayaatan a napataud iti daga ket ikabilyo kadagiti sakoyo. Mangitugotkayo iti sagut para iti lalaki: sangkabassit a resina ken diro, kadagiti rekado ken mira, piniones ken almendras.
12 Take twice as much money as you took the previous time, because you must return the silver that someone put in the tops of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake that it was put in your sacks.
Paminduaenyo ti gatad ti kuarta nga itugotyo. Itugotyo manen ti kuarta a naisubli kadagiti sakoyo. Nalabit a biddut laeng daytoy.
13 Take your younger brother and go back to that man.
Isurotyo pay ti kabsatyo. Agrubbuatkayo ket mapankayo manen iti lalaki.
14 I will pray that God Almighty will cause that man to act mercifully toward you, so that he will let your other brother, as well as Benjamin, come back here with you. But as for me, if my sons are taken from me, then I will not have my sons!”
Sapay koma ta ited ti Dios a Mannakabalin amin ti asi kadakayo iti sangoanan ti Lalaki, tapno wayawyaanna kadakayo ti sabali pay a kabsatyo ken kasta met ni Benjamin. No mapukawko dagiti annakko. Mapukawanak ngarud.”
15 So the men took the gifts that Jacob said that they should take, and twice the amount of money that the grain would cost, and they also took Benjamin. They went down quickly to Egypt, and they stood in front of Joseph.
Innala dagiti lallaki dayta a sagut. Nangalada iti mamindua a kaadu ti kuartada ken insurotda ni Benjamin. Nagrubbuatda, simmalogda idiay Egipto, ket dimmatagda iti sangoanan ni Jose.
16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the man who (was in charge of/supervised) things in his house, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare a meal, because I want them to eat with me at noon.” [And he told him in what order they were to be seated].
Idi nakita ni Jose a kaduada ni Benjamin, kinunana iti agay-aywan iti balayna, “Ikuyogmo dagiti lallaki idiay balay, mangpartika iti ayup ket isaganam daytoy, ta makipangan kaniak dagiti lallaki iti pangaldaw.”
17 The man did as Joseph said. And he took them to Joseph’s house.
Inaramid ngarud ti mangay-aywan ti imbaga ni Jose. Impanna ngarud dagiti lallaki iti balay ni Jose.
18 But they were afraid because he was taking them to Joseph’s house. They were thinking, “He is taking us here because of the silver that was put in our sacks the first time that we came here. While we are eating, he will have his servants attack us and seize us and cause us to become his slaves, and also take our donkeys.”
Nagbuteng dagiti lallaki gapu ta naipanda iti balay ni Jose. Kinunada, “Gapu daytoy iti kuarta a naisubli kadagiti sakotayo idi immuna nga immaytayo, tapno mangbirok isuna iti gundaway a maibusor kadatayo. Mabalin a tiliwennatayo ken pagbalinennatayo a tagabu, ken alaenna dagiti asnotayo.”
19 They went with the man who was in charge of things in Joseph’s house. When they arrived at the entrance of the house,
Immasidegda iti mangay-aywan iti balay ni Jose, ket kinatungtongda isuna iti ruangan ti balay,
20 one of them said to him, “Please, sir, listen to me. We came down here previously and bought some grain.
a kunada, “Apo, simmalogkami idi damdamo tapno gumatang iti makan.
21 But at the place where we stopped for the night as we were returning home, we opened our sacks. We were astonished to see that in the top of each of our sacks was the exact amount of silver that we had paid for the grain! So we have brought it back with us.
Ket napasamak nga idi nakadanonkami iti disso a paginanaan ket linuktanmi dagiti sakomi, ket, nakitami nga adda ti kuarta ti tunggal maysa iti ngarab iti sakona, awan iti naksay iti kuartami. Intugotmi daytoy.
22 We have also brought more silver with us to buy more grain. We do not know who put the silver in our sacks.”
Nangitugotkami pay iti sabali a kuarta a paggatangmi iti taraon. Saanmi nga ammo no siasino iti nangikabil iti kuartami kadagiti sakomi.”
23 The man replied, [“Relax]! Do not worry about it! I received the silver that you brought. Your God, the God your father worships, must have put it in your sacks.” And then he brought Simeon to them from the prison.
Kinuna ti mangay-aywan, “Kapia koma iti maadda kadakayo, saankayo nga agbuteng. Ti Diosyo ken ti Dios ti amayo siguro ti nangikabil iti kuarta kadagiti sakoyo. Naawatko dagiti kuartayo.” Impan ngarud ti mangay-aywan ni Simeon kadakuada.
24 Then he took them into Joseph’s house. He gave them water to wash their feet and gave them food for the donkeys.
Pinastrek ti mangay-aywan dagiti lallaki iti uneg ti balay ni Jose, “Inikkanna ida iti danum, ket binuggoanda dagiti saksakada. Inikkanna iti makan dagiti asnoda.
25 He told them that they were going to eat with Joseph at noon. So the men prepared their gifts to give to Joseph when he arrived.
Insaganada dagiti sagut a maipaay iti isasangpet ni Jose iti aldaw, ta nangngegda a manganda sadiay
26 When Joseph came home, they presented to him the gifts that they had brought into the house. Then they bowed down to the ground in front of him.
Idi simmangpet ni Jose iti balayna, intugotda dagiti sagut nga adda kadakuada iti balay, ken nagrukobda iti daga iti sangoananna.
27 He asked them if they were (well/in good health), and then he asked, “How is the health of your old father, the one that you told me about? Is he still living?”
Dinamagna ti kasasaadda a kinunana, “Nasalun-at kadi ti amayo, ti lakay nga ibagbagayo? Sibibiag pay kadi isuna?”
28 One of them replied, “Yes, our father, [who is willing to be] your servant, is still alive, and he is well.” Then again they bowed down in front of him.
Kinunada, “Nasalun-at ti amami nga adipenmo. Sibibiag pay isuna.” Nagparintumeng ken nagdumogda.
29 Then he saw his [younger] brother Benjamin, his own mother’s other son. He asked them, “Is this your youngest brother, the one whom you told me about?” After they said “Yes,” he said to Benjamin, “Young man, I pray that God will act kindly toward you.”
Timmangad isuna ket nakitana ni Benjamin a kabsatna, ti anak ti inana, kinunana,” Daytoy kadi iti inaudi a kabsatyo nga ibagbagayo kaniak?” Kinunana, “Paraburannaka koma ti Dios, anakko.”
30 Joseph quickly left the room. He realized that he was about to cry because he (was full of emotion about his younger brother/loved his younger brother so much). He went into his private room and cried there.
Nagdardaras a rimmuar ni Jose iti siled ta kasta unay a natignay isuna maipanggep iti kabsatna. Nangsapul isuna iti lugar a pagsangitanna. Napan isuna iti siledna ket nagsangit sadiay.
31 Then, after he washed the tears from his face, he came out, and controlling his emotions, he said to the servants, “Serve the food!”
Nagdiram-us isuna sa rimmuar. Tinengngelna ti riknana, kinunana, “Idasaryo ti taraon.”
32 The people of Egypt considered that it was disgraceful for them to eat with Hebrews, so the servants served food to Joseph by himself, and served the other people of Egypt who ate with him by themselves, and they served Joseph’s older brothers and younger brother by themselves.
Nagserbian dagiti adipen ni Jose nga is-isuna ken dagiti agkakabsat nga is-isuda. Nakipangan dagiti Egipcio sadiay nga is-isuda laeng gapu ta saan a mabalin a makipangan dagiti Egipcio iti tinapay kadagiti Hebreo, ta makarimon dayta kadagiti Egipcio.
33 His brothers were astonished to see that their seats were arranged according to their ages, from the oldest to the youngest!
Nagtugaw dagiti agkakabsat iti sangoananna, ti inauna segun iti pannakaiyanakna, ken iti inaudi segun iti kinaubingna. Nasdaaw dagiti lallaki.
34 And when their portions of food were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as anyone else’s portion! So they ate food and drank wine with Joseph and became very cheerful.
Nangted ni Jose iti taraon nga adda iti sangoananna. Ngem iti paset ni Benjamin ket maminlima ti kaaduna ngem iti naited kadagiti kakabsatna. Naginomda ken nakipagragsakda kenkuana.
