< Genesis 43 >

1 The famine was severe in the land.
Ana knafina Kenani mopafina tusi zamagatontoza fore huno vu'ne.
2 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.”
Isipi mopareti'ma mizase'za eri'za e'naza ne'zama nehana hazageno, nezmafa'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Ete mago'ene vuta ne'zana ome mizaseho.
3 Judah spoke to him, saying, “The man solemnly warned us, saying, ‘You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.’
Hianagi Juda'a amanage huno nafa'amofona asami'ne, Ana kva ne'mo'a hankavenentake ke huranteno amanage hu'ne. Tamagra nagna tamimofoma avreta ome sanage'na tamavufina ontamagegosue huno higeta e'none.
4 If you’ll send our brother with us, we’ll go down and buy you food;
Kagrama naganatima atresankeno'ma tagra'enema esaniana, tagra uramita nezanka'a ome miza huta egahune.
5 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.’”
Hianagi kagrama Benzamenima atresnankeno'ma tagra'nema omesniana tagra ovugahune. Na'ankure ana Isipi kva ne'mo'a amanage huno tasami'ne, Tamagna timimofoma avretama omesazana nagri navumo'a ontamagegahie hu'ne.
6 Israel said, “Why did you treat me so badly, telling the man that you had another brother?”
Anage nehazageno Jekopu'a (Israeli) amanage hu'ne, Tamagra nahigeta ana kva nera magora naganatia mani'ne huta asmi'nageno anankea hu'ne? E'ina'ma hu'naza zamo'a nagrira tusi'a zampi nazeri haviza haze.
7 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’?”
Hianagi zamagra asami'za, Ana kva ne'mo'a ana maka'mota tantahige tantahige huno tagriku'ene, vahetigu'ene, tantahigeno amanage hu'ne, Nermafa'a ofri amne mani'nefi? Hagi magora naganatamimo'a mani'neo? Huno higeta tamagra naganatamimofona avreta eho hani'a nanekea ontahineta kenona'a hu'none.
8 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.
Hutazageno Juda'a nafa'amofo Jekopuna amanage huno asmi'ne, Ana ne'mofavre Benzamenina huntegeno nagrane vanigeta, tagrane kagrane mofavre'zagatine tagakura huta ofrita mani'mneno.
9 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;
Nagrani'a huvempa huanki'na Benzamenina kegava krintegahue, hanki kvama hu'so'e osanugeno'ma hazenkema eri'na ana knazana nagra erigahue. Hagi kagri kavure'ma avre'na omesuna nagra ana knazana erigahue. Nehanugeno ana knazamo'a nagrane mevava hugahie.
10 for if we hadn’t delayed, surely we would have returned a second time by now.”
Hianagi tagrama avega ontetasina, menina tagra tare zupa vuta ete huta ne'zana eruntesine.
11 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;
Nezmafa Israeli'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Tamagrama Benzamenima avreta vunaku'ma hanuta amana hiho, mago'a knare'nare zafa rgama mopatifima me'neana kutamifina erinerita mago'a tusa masevene (balm), tumemofo rima'ane, (honey) mananentake masavene, mananentake zafa rine, pistasios zafa ragane, almoni zafa raganena eri'neta vuta ana kva nera musezana ome amiho.
12 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.
Ana nehuta mago'a zagoa eri aguheta tamazampina e'rineta, zamage kaniza e'ririnegahazanki, kutamifima erarinagetama erita e'naza zagonena erineta vuta ome amiho.
13 Take your brother also, get up, and return to the man.
Ana nehutma nagna tami'mofona otita ame huta avretma ete ana kva nete viho.
14 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.”
Hagi nunamu huankino hihamu'ane Anumzamo ana ne'mofo avure asunku huramantesuno'a, mago neramafune, Benzamenikiznia zanatre sanigeke ete egaha'e. Hagi nagrama mofavre ni'amokizmigu'ma nasunku'ma hanuna, nagra nasunku nehu'na manigahue.
15 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.
Jekopu'a anage hige'za mofavre naga'amo'za ana muse'zana (gift) e'neri'za, mago'ane zagoa eriguhe'za zamazampi e'neri'za, Benzamenina nevre'za oti'za Isipi moparega vu'za ana kva ne' Josefe avure uoti'naze.
16 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.”
Hagi zamagranema nagana'amo Benzameni ne-egeno Josefe'ma negeno'a noma'afi eri'za ne'a amanage huno hunte'ne, Ama vahera zamavarenka nompi ome nezmantenka, mago afu ome ahenka krenka ne'zana retro huo. Na'ankure zamagra nagrane feru ne'zana negahune.
17 The man did as Joseph commanded, and the man brought the men to Joseph’s house.
Eri'za ne'amo'a agrama ke hiaza huno zamavareno Josefe nompi ome zamante'ne.
18 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.”
Anama huno Josefe eri'za ne'mo'ma zamavareno nompi vige'za kore nehu'za amanage hu'za hu'naze. Ko'ma kutifima eriri rante'nea zagoreku huno tavre noma'afi tanteankino, tantahinegeno tazerino kazokzo eri'za vahe'a trohu neranteno mika donkitinena avre vagaregahie.
19 They came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,
Anage nehu'za Josefe nompi eri'za nete, Josefe no kasante vu'za ome asami'za,
20 and said, “Oh, my lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food.
amanage hu'naze, ra netimoke, tagra ko'ma amare e'tama nezama eme miza senona naga e'none.
21 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.
Hianagi ne'zama miza huteta, kantega umsenaku hunte kutima eriheta huta konana, magoke magokemota ne'zama mizase'nona kante zagotia kutimofo avazare me'negeta keteta ama erita e'none.
22 We have brought down other money in our hand to buy food. We don’t know who put our money in our sacks.”
Aza ana zago'a eririranteneo e'i ana vahera onke'none. Antahita keta osu'neta ana zagone ete mago'ane ne'za miza hanune huta eritru huna zagonena erineta e'none.
23 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.
Anage hazageno Josefe eri'za ne'mo'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Knare huta manigahazanki koro osuta akoheta maniho. Tamagri Anumzane, neramafa Anumzamo kutamifina zagoa eriramante'negahie. Nagra zagotmia ko namizage'na eri'noe. Nehuno Simeoni ome avreno eme zami'ne.
24 The man brought the men into Joseph’s house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet. He gave their donkeys fodder.
Ana huteno Josefe eri'za ne'mo'a nompi zamavareno eno, tina tagi zamige'za zamaga sese nehazageno, donki zamimofona ne'zana zami'ne.
25 They prepared the present for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there.
Ana nehazage'za Josefe'ma agra noma'afi ferura ne'za negahune hige'za antahi'nagu avega ante'za mani'ne'za musezana (gift) eri antente'naze.
26 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.
Hagi Josefe'ma nontegama ne-ege'za nege'za, musezama eri'za e'naza zana eme nemi'za mopafi zamarena re'za avuga kepri hunte'naze.
27 He asked them of their welfare, and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he yet alive?”
Anante Josefe'a knare huta mani'nazo huno hu so'e hunezmanteno, anage huno zmantahige'ne, Ko'ma neramafanku'ma ozafa reno mani'ne huta nasmi'nazana, agra menina knare huno mani'nefi? Ofri mani'neo?
28 They said, “Your servant, our father, is well. He is still alive.” They bowed down humbly.
Hige'za zamagra anage hu'za asmi'naze, Nerafa'a eri'za nekamo'a knare huno ofri mani'ne. Anage hu'za nesami'za agafi kepri hu'za razampi antahimi'naze.
29 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.”
Ana hunentageno kesga huno nagna'amofo Benzameni, nerera mofavre negeno amanage huno hu'ne, Ama mofavrea neragana e'ma hutama nasmi'naza mofavrefi? Josefe anage nehuno, Anumzamo'a knare huno mofavrenimoka kaza huno asomu hugantegahie hu'ne.
30 Joseph hurried, for his heart yearned over his brother; and he sought a place to weep. He entered into his room, and wept there.
Josefe'a negna negeno zavi atesia agesa higeno, hantka huno zamatreno zavi ate'sia kumaku hakreno nemasefinka asafi (rum) ufreno zavi ome ate'ne.
31 He washed his face, and came out. He controlled himself, and said, “Serve the meal.”
Zaviteteno avugosa sese huteno asu'zana eri rentrako nehuno, megi'a atiramino amanage huno zamasmi'ne, ne'za atinketa namaneno.
32 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.
Josefe ne'zana arure atimi'za, zamagrira arure atinte zamante'za, Isipi naga'mo'za zamagragu ne'zana ne'naze. Na'ankure Isipi vahe'mo'za Hibru vahe'enena magopina bretia onegahaze. Isipi vahe'mo'za Hibru vahe'enema magopi kave ne'zankura zamesra huno zamagotegahie.
33 They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth, and the men marvelled with one another.
Hagi pusa mofavrereti agafa huno fore hu'nare, ranteti vuno osite zamazeri rempi huzmantage'za mani'ne'za tusi'a zampi zamano nevazige'za zamagogogu nehu'za ovufi avufi hu'naze.
34 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.
Josefe itareti eri'za vahe'mo'za ne'zana refko hu'za afuhe'i ome ante nezmante'za, Benzameni tafepina 5fu'a vahe'mo'za nega ne'za antente'naze. E'ina hige'za magopi mani'ne'za knare hu'za ne'zane, tine nene'za muse hu'naze.
