Genesis 42
1 Ita, naammoan ni Jacob nga adda bukel idiay Egipto. Kinunana kadagiti putotna a lallaki. “Apay ta agkikinnitakayo?”
Then Jacob, hearing that food was being sold in Egypt, said to his sons: “Why are you negligent?
2 Kinunana, “Dumngegkayo, nangngegko nga adda bukel idiay Egipto. Sumalogkayo sadiay ket gumatangkayo iti agpaay kadatayo manipud sadiay tapno agbiagtayo a saan ket a matay.”
I have heard that wheat is being sold in Egypt. Go down and buy necessities for us, so that we may be able to live, and not be consumed by destitution.”
3 Simmalog ngarud dagiti sangapulo a kakabsat ni Jose tapno gumatang iti bukel manipud iti Egipto.
And so, when ten brothers of Joseph went down to buy grain in Egypt,
4 Ngem ni Benjamin a kabsat ni Jose ket saanna a pinasurot kadagiti kakabsatna, ta kinunana, “Amangan no adda dakes a mapasamak kenkuana.”
Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brothers, “Lest perhaps he may suffer harm on the journey.”
5 Immay met dagiti annak ni Israel tapno gumatang malaksid pay kadagiti immay, ta adda met panagbisin iti daga ti Canaan.
And they entered into the land of Egypt with the others who traveled to buy. For the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6 Ita, ni Jose ti gobernador iti entero a daga. Isuna ti aglaklako kadagiti amin a tattao ti daga. Immay dagiti kakabsat ni Jose ket nagpaklebda iti daga.
And Joseph was governor in the land of Egypt, and grain was sold under his direction to the people. And when his brothers had reverenced him
7 Nakita ni Jose dagiti kakabsatna ket nabigbigna ida, ngem nagpammarang isuna kadakuada ken nagsao isuna iti nagubsang kadakuada. Kinunana kadakuada, “Sadinno ti naggapuanyo?” Kinunada, “Naggapukkami iti daga ti Canaan tapno gumatang iti taraon.”
and he had recognized them, he spoke harshly, as if to foreigners, questioning them: “Where did you come from?” And they responded, “From the land of Canaan, to buy necessary provisions.”
8 Nabigbig ni Jose dagiti kakabsatna ngem saanda a nabigbig isuna.
And although he knew his brothers, he was not known by them.
9 Nalagip ni Jose dagiti tagtagainepna maipapan kadakuada. Kinunana kadakuada, “Espiakayo. Immaykayo tapno kitaenyo ti saan a naguardia-an a paset ti daga.”
And remembering the dreams, which he had seen in another time, he said to them: “You are scouts. You have come in order to see which parts of the land are weaker.”
10 Kinunada kenkuana, “Saan, apo. Immay dagitoy nga adipenmo a gumatang ti taraon.
And they said: “It is not so, my lord. But your servants have arrived in order to buy food.
11 Putotnakami amin ti maymaysa a tao. Mapagtalkankami a lallaki. Saan nga espia dagitoy adipenmo.”
We are all sons of one man. We have come in peace, nor do any of your subjects devise evil.”
12 Kinunana kadakuada, “Saan, ngem immaykayo tapno kitaenyo ti saan a naguardia-an a paset ti daga.”
And he answered them: “It is otherwise. You have come to examine the unguarded parts of this land.”
13 Kinunada, “Sangapulo ket dua nga agkakabsat dagitoy adipenmo, putotnakami ti maysa a tao idiay daga ti Canaan. Kitaem, kadua ita ti amami ti inaudi a kabsatmi, ket awanen iti daytoy a biag ti maysa pay a kabsatmi.”
But they said: “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is with our father; the other is not living.”
14 Kinuna ni Jose kadakuada, “Kas nakunakon; espiakayo.
He said: “This is just as I have said. You are scouts.
15 Babaen iti daytoy masubokkayo. Isapatak iti nagan ti Faraon a saankayo a pumanaw ditoy, malaksid no umay ditoy ti inaudi a kabsatyo.
I will now continue to put you to the test. By the health of Pharaoh, you will not depart from here, until your youngest brother arrives.
16 Mangibaonkayo iti maysa kadakayo ket mapanna alaen ti kabsatyo. Maibaludkayo tapno masubok dagiti imbagayo, no adda met laeng kinapudno kadakayo, ta no saan, isapatak iti nagan ti Faraon, awan duadua nga espiakayo.”
Send one of you and bring him. But you will be in chains, until what you have said is proven to be either true or false. Otherwise, by the health of Pharaoh, you are scouts.”
17 Ket imbaludna amin ida iti tallo nga aldaw.
Therefore, he delivered them into custody for three days.
18 Iti maikatlo nga aldaw, kinuna ni Jose kadakuada, “Aramidenyo daytoy ket agbiagkayo, ta adda panagbutengko iti Dios.
Then, on the third day, he brought them out of prison, and he said: “Do as I have said, and you will live. For I fear God.
19 No mapagtalkankayo a lallaki, mabati ngarud ti maysa kadakayo iti daytoy a pagbaludan, ngem mapankayo, mangawitkayo kadagiti bukel para iti panagbisin kadagiti balbalayyo.
If you are peaceful, let one of your brothers be bound in prison. Then you may go away and carry the grain that you have bought to your houses.
20 Iyegyo ti inaudi a kabsatyo kaniak iti kasta ket mapaneknekan dagiti imbagayo ket saankayo a matay.” Kasta ngarud ti inaramidda.
And bring your youngest brother to me, so that I may be able to test your words, and you may not die.” They did as he had said,
21 Kinunada iti tunggal maysa, “Pudno a nagbidduttayo maipapan iti inaramidtayo iti kabsattayo ta nakitatayo ti ladingit ti kararuana idi nagpakaasi kadatayo ngem saantayo a dimngeg. Ngarud naisubli kadatayo daytoy a ladingit.
and they spoke to one another: “We deserve to suffer these things, because we have sinned against our brother, seeing the anguish of his soul, when he begged us and we would not listen. For that reason, this tribulation has come upon us.”
22 Simmungbat ni Ruben kadakuada, “Saan kadi nga imbagak kadakayo, 'Saankayo nga agaramid iti basol maibusor iti ubing,' ngem saankayonto met gamin a dimngeg? Ita kitaenyo, maisidsidirenkadatayo ti darana.”
And Reuben, one of them, said: “Did not I say to you, ‘Do not sin against the boy,’ and you would not listen to me? See, his blood is exacted.”
23 Saanda nga ammo a naawatan ida ni Jose, ta adda mangipatpatarus iti nagbabaetanda.
But they did not know that Joseph understood, because he was speaking to them through an interpreter.
24 Pinanawanna ida ket nagsangit. Kalpsanna, nagsubli isuna iti ayanda ket nagsao kadakuada. Innalana ni Simeon kadakuada ket pinaibaludna iti imatangda.
And he turned himself away briefly and wept. And returning, he spoke to them.
25 Ket binilin ni Jose dagiti adipenna a punoenda iti bukbukel dagiti sako dagiti kakabsatna, ken isublida ti kuarta ti tunggal maysa a lalaki iti sakona, ken ipaayanda ida iti kasapulanda iti panagdaliasatda. Kasta ngarud ti naaramid para kadakuada.
And taking Simeon, and binding him in their presence, he ordered his ministers to fill their sacks with wheat, and to replace each one’s money in their sacks, and to give them, in addition, provisions for the way. And they did so.
26 Inkarga dagiti agkakabsat dagiti awitda a bukel kadagiti asnoda ket pimmanawda manipud sadiay.
Then, having loaded their donkeys with the grain, they set out.
27 Iti lugar a naginanaanda, maysa kadakuada ti nanglukat iti sakona tapno pakanenna ti asnona ket nakitana ti kuartana. Adda daytoy iti ngarab ti sakona.
And one of them, opening a sack to give his beast of burden fodder at the inn, looked upon the money at the sack’s mouth,
28 Kinunana kadagiti kakabsatna, “Naisubli ti kuartak. Kitaenyo daytoy; adda daytoy iti sakok.” Ket uray la agkibbakibbayo ti pusoda ken agpigpigergerda a nagkikinnita. Kinunada, “Ania daytoy nga inaramid ti Dios kadatayo?”
and he said to his brothers: “My money has returned to me. See, it is held in the sack.” And they were astonished and troubled, and they said to one another, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29 Napanda kenni Jacob nga amada nga adda iti daga ti Canaan ket imbagada kenkuana ti amin a napasamak kadakuada. Kinunada,
And they went to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, and they explained to him all the things that had befallen them, saying:
30 “Ti lalaki, nga apo ti daga ket sigugubsang a nakisarita kadakami ken impagarupna nga espiakami iti daga.
“The lord of the land spoke harshly to us, and he considered us to be scouts of the province.
31 Imbagami kenkuana, 'Mapagtalkankami a lallaki. saankami nga espia.
And we answered him: ‘We are peaceful, and we do not intend any treachery.
32 Sangapulo ket dua kami nga agkakabsat, putotnakami ti amami. Natayen ti maysa kadakami ken ti inaudi a kabsatmi ket adda ita iti ayan ti amami idiay daga ti Canaan.'
We are twelve brothers conceived of one father. One is not living; the youngest is with our father in the land of Canaan.’
33 Ti lalaki nga apo ti daga, kinunana kadakami, 'Babaen iti daytoy ket maammoak no mapagtalkankayo a lallaki. Ibatiyo ti maysa a kabsatyo kaniak, mangalakayo iti bukel para iti panagbisin kadagiti balayyo, ket mapankayo.
And he said to us: ‘Thus will I prove that you are peaceful. Release one of your brothers to me, and take necessary provisions for your houses, and go away,
34 Iyegyo ti inaudi a kabsatyo kaniak. Iti kasta ket mapaneknekak a saankayo nga espia, ngem ketdi, mapagtalkankayo a lallaki. Ket wayawayaakto ti kabsatyo ket mabalinkayo a gumatang ken aglako iti daytoy a daga.”'
and bring your youngest brother to me, so that I may know that you are not scouts. And this one, who is held in chains, you may be able to receive again. And thereafter, you shall have permission to buy what you want.’”
35 Napasamak nga idi imbukbokda dagiti sakoda ket adtoy, adda iti sako ti tunggal maysa ti nakasupot a kuartada. Idi nakitada ken ti amada dagiti nakasupot a kuartada, nagbutengda.
Having said this, when they poured out their grain, each found his money tied to the mouth of his sack. And all were terrified together.
36 Kinuna ti amada a ni Jacob, kadakuada, “Pinagladingitdak kadagiti putotko. Natayen ni Jose, awanen ni Simeon ken iyadayoyo ni Benjamin. Maibusor kaniak amin dagitoy a banbanag.”
Their father Jacob said, “You have caused me to be without children. Joseph is not living, Simeon is held in chains, and Benjamin you would carry away. All these evils have fallen back upon me.”
37 Nagsao ni Ruben iti amana, a kunana, “Uray patayemto dagiti dua a putotko a lallaki no saanko a maisubli ni Benjamin kenka. Italekmo isuna kaniak ket isublikto isuna kenka.”
And Reuben answered him, “Put my two sons to death, if I do not lead him back to you. Deliver him into my hand, and I will restore him to you.”
38 Kinuna ni Jacob, “Saan a sumurot a sumalog kadakayo ti anakko. Ta natayen ti kabsatna ket isuna laengen ti nabati. No adda dakes a mapasamak kenkuana iti dalanyo, ipandakto, siak a purawen ti buokna, iti sheol gapu iti ladingit.” (Sheol h7585)
But he said: “My son will not go down with you. His brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any adversity will befall him in the land to which you travel, you would lead my grey hairs down with sorrow to the grave.” (Sheol h7585)
