Genesis 42
1 Ke Jacob el lohngak lah oasr wheat in acn Egypt, el fahk nu sin wen natul, “Komtal ku mutana ngetnget?
And Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
2 Nga lohng mu oasr wheat in acn Egypt. Tal fahla nu we ac molema kutu nasr, kut in tia masrinsral nwe misa.”
And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down thither and buy [grain] for us from thence, in order that we may live, and not die.
3 Ouinge tamulel singoul lal Joseph ah som nu Egypt in moul wheat,
And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy [grain] out of Egypt.
4 tusruktu Jacob el tia lela Benjamin, tamulel fusr se lal Joseph, elan welulos, mweyen el sensen ac oasr ma sikyak nu sel.
But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest mischief may befall him.
5 Tulik mukul natul Jacob elos wi pac mwet puspis saya som in moul wheat, mweyen sracl sac sun pac acn Canaan.
So the sons of Israel came to buy [grain] among those that came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6 Ke Joseph pa governor lun acn Egypt ah, el kukakin wheat uh nu sin mwet yen nukewa fin faclu. Ouinge tamulel lal Joseph elos tuku ac faksufi ye mutal.
And Joseph, he was the governor over the land — he it was that sold [the corn] to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brethren came and bowed down to him, the face to the earth.
7 Ke Joseph el liyeak tamulel lal inge, el akilenulos, tusruktu el oru oana elan tia etalos. El kouyak ac siyuk selos, “Komtal tuku ya me?” Elos fahk, “Kut tuku Canaan me in moul mongo.”
And Joseph saw his brethren, and knew them; but he made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to them, and said to them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food.
8 Joseph el ne akilen mwet wial inge, a elos tiana akilenul.
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they did not know him.
9 El esamak mweme ma el tuh oru ah, ac fahk nu seltal, “Komtal mwet kalngeyuk sulallal. Komtal tuku in konauk lah mea facl sesr uh munas kac uh.”
And Joseph remembered the dreams that he had dreamt of them; and he said to them, Ye are spies: to see the exposed places of the land ye are come.
10 Ac elos topuk, “Leum lasr, tia ouingan. Kut tuku oana mwet kulansap lom, in moul mongo.
And they said to him, No, my lord; but to buy food are thy servants come.
11 Kut inge nukewa tamulel, ac kut tia mwet kalngeyuk. Kut mwet na suwohs.”
We are all one man's sons; we are honest: thy servants are not spies.
12 Joseph el fahk nu selos, “Mo! Komtal tuku in suk ac konauk lah mea kut munas kac.”
And he said to them, No; but to see the exposed places of the land are ye come.
13 Na elos fahk, “Leum lasr, kut tuh tamulel singoul luo nufon, ac kut wen nutin papa sefanna in acn Canaan. Sie tamulel inge misa, ac ma se ma fusr oemeet uh oasr na yurin papa tumasr ah.”
And they said, Thy servants were twelve brethren, sons of one man, in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
14 Joseph el topuk, “Oana nga fahk tari ah, komtal mwet kalngeyuk sulallal.
And Joseph said to them, That is it that I have spoken to you, saying, Ye are spies.
15 Pa inge ma nga ac oru in konauk lah pwaye ma komtal fahk uh: Nga fulahk ke inen tokosra, lah komtal ac fah tiana som liki acn inge nwe ke na tamulel se ma fusr emeet lomtal an tuku nu yenu.
By this ye shall be put to the proof: as Pharaoh lives, ye shall not go forth hence, unless your youngest brother come hither!
16 Sie sumtal enenu in som usalu. Mwet lula an ac fah mutana in presin nwe ke na akpwayeyuk kas lomtal an. Fin tia ouinge, na oana ke tokosra el moul, komtal mwet sulallal.”
Send one of you, that he may fetch your brother, but ye shall be imprisoned, and your words shall be put to the proof, whether the truth is in you; and if not, as Pharaoh lives, ye are spies.
17 Ke el fahk ouinge tari, el fuhlelosi in presin ke len tolu.
And he put them in custody three days.
18 Ke len se aktolu ah, Joseph el fahk nu selos, “Nga mwet etu sangeng sin God se, ac sripa sefanna pa nga ac ku in tia unikomtal uh kac.
And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, that ye may live: I fear God.
19 In akpwayei lah komtal pwayena, sie sumtal ac fah mutana in presin, yen ma komtal muta we ah. Mwet lula an ku in folokla, us wheat ma komtal molela ah, nu yurin sou lomtal ma muta masrinsral soanekomtal an.
If ye are honest, let one of your brethren remain bound in the house of your prison, but go ye, carry grain for the hunger of your households;
20 Na komtal enenu na in tuh foloko use tamulel se ma fusr oemeet lomtal an nu yuruk. Ma se inge ac fah akpwayei lah ma komtal fahk an ma pwaye, na nga fah tia sap in anwuki komtal.” Elos insese nu kac
and bring your youngest brother to me, in order that your words be verified, and that ye may not die. And they did so.
21 ac fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Pwayena lah inge kut eis mwatan ma kut tuh oru nu sin tamulel se lasr ah. Kut tuh liye fosrnga lulap lal ke el kwafe kut in kasrel, a kut tia lohngol ah. Ma ingan pa pwanang kut sun ongoiya inge.”
Then they said one to another, We are indeed guilty concerning our brother, whose anguish of soul we saw when he besought us, and we did not hearken; therefore this distress is come upon us.
22 Ac Reuben el fahk, “Nga na fahk mu komtal in tia oru kutena ma nu sin tulik sac, a komtal tiana lohngyu. Ac inge kut eis mwatan misa lal ah.”
And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the lad? But ye did not hearken; and now behold, his blood also is required.
23 Joseph el kalem ke ma elos kaskaskin, tusruktu elos tia etu lah el etu mweyen oasr mwet se tafu kas lalos nu sel.
And they did not know that Joseph understood, for the interpreter was between them.
24 Joseph el som lukelos ac mutawauk in tung. Ke el ku in sifil kaskas el foloko, srella Simeon, ac sap kapiri el ye mutalos.
And he turned away from them, and wept. And he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes.
25 Joseph el sapkin in nwanala pak lun tamulel lal ah ke wheat, ac in folokinyukyang mani lun kais sie nu in pak lal sifacna, ac in itukyang pac mongo ma elos in kang ke elos ac folok nu yen selos. Ma inge orekla oana ke el fahk ah.
And Joseph gave orders to fill their vessels with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way. And thus did they to them.
26 Tamulel ekasr ah nwakani donkey natulos ke wheat ma elos molela ah, na elos mukuiyak som.
And they loaded their asses with their grain, and departed thence.
27 Ke elos sun acn se elos ac mongla we ke fong sac, sie selos ikasla pak lal ah in kiteya donkey natul uh, tuh konauk lah mani lal ah oan oelucng in pak lal ah.
And one of them opened his sack to give his ass food in the inn, and saw his money, and behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
28 Ac el wola ac fahk nu sin tulik wial ah kewa, “Mani luk ah folokinyukme nu sik — pa oan in pak luk uh inge!” Insialos putat na oelucngi ke sangeng, ac elos rarrar ke elos asiyuki sie sin sie ac fahk, “Mea God El oru nu sesr inge?”
And he said to his brethren, My money is returned [to me], and behold, it is even in my sack. And their heart failed [them], and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this [that] God has done to us?
29 Ke elos tuku nu yorol Jacob, papa tumalos in acn Canaan, elos fahkang nu sel ma nukewa ma sikyak nu selos, ac fahk,
And they came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father, and told him all that had befallen them, saying,
30 “Governor lun acn Egypt el tuh kaskas arulana kou nu sesr, ac fahk mu kut mwet kalngeyuk sulallal lain facl sel.
The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and treated us as spies of the land.
31 Ac kut tuh topkol ac fahk, ‘Kut tia mwet sulallal. Kut mwet na suwohs.
And we said to him, We are honest; we are not spies:
32 Kut tuh tamulel singoul luo nufon nutin papa sefanna, ac sie sin tamulel inge misa, ac ma se ma fusr oemeet uh el srakna oasr Canaan yurin papa tumasr ah.’
we are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
33 Ac mwet sac fahk, ‘Pa inge ma se nga ac oru in konauk lah komtal mwet suwohs uh: sie sumtal ac mutana inge, ac ma lula an ac fah us wheat uh ac som nu yen sumtal nu yurin sou lomtal ma masrinsral.
And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Hereby shall I know that ye are honest: leave one of your brethren with me, and take [for] the hunger of your households, and go,
34 Tal tuh use tamulel se ma srik oemeet lomtal an nu yuruk, na nga fah etu lah komtal mwet suwohs ac tia mwet sulallal. Nga fah folokunulot tamulel se lomtal inge nu sumtal, ac komtal fah ku in muta inge, moul ac kuka.’”
and bring your youngest brother to me, and I shall know that ye are not spies, but are honest. Your brother will I give up to you; and ye may trade in the land.
35 Na ke elos okoala pak lalos, elos nukewa konauk lah mani lalos ah oanna in pak lalos. Ac ke elos liye mani uh, elos arulana sangengla, ac Jacob, papa tumalos, el wi pac sangeng.
And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that behold, every man had his bundle of money in his sack; and they saw their bundles of money, they and their father, and were afraid.
36 Jacob el fahk nu selos, “Ya kowos lungse oru tulik nutik uh kewa in wanginla? Joseph el wanginla, Simeon el wanginla, ac inge komtal ke usalla pac Benjamin. Nga pa ac keokkin ma inge uh!”
And Jacob their father said to them, Ye have bereaved me of children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin! All these things are against me.
37 Reuben el fahk nu sin papa tumal, “Nga fin tia folokunulma Benjamin nu yurum, kom ku in uniya wen luo nutik uh. Fuhlelma nu sik ngan karinganal, ac nga fah folokunulma.”
And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons if I bring him not back to thee: give him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
38 Tusruktu Jacob el fahk, “Wen nutik el ac tia wi komtal som. Tamulel lal el misa, ac el mukena lula. Ac ku pac in oasr ma sikyak nu sel inkanek uh. Nga matuoh inge, ac mwe asor komtal oru nu sik inge ku na in uniyuwi.” (Sheol h7585)
But he said, My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left; and if mischief should befall him by the way in which ye go, then would ye bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
