Genesisy 42
1 Naho nioni’ Iakòbe te e Mitsraime añe ty mahakama, le hoe t’Iakòbe amo ana’eo, Ino ty ifangarefa’ areo?
Now Jacob became aware that there was grain in Egypt. He said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
2 Inao, hoe re, tsinanoko te aman-tsako ty Mitsraime; akia mizotsoa mb’eo vaho iviliaño ho an-tika, hiveloman-tika fa tsy hivetrake.
He said, “See here, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy for us from there so we may live and not die.”
3 Aa le nizotso mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo ty rahalahi’ Iosefe folo hikalo mahakama añe.
Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
4 Fe tsy nampindreze’ Iakòbe amo zoke’eo t’i Beniamine zai’ Iosefe fa hoe re, ke ho zoem-boiñe.
But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob did not send with his brothers, for he feared that harm might come to him.
5 Aa le nindre amo nañavelo mb’eo hikaloo, o ana’Israeleo, amy te an-tane’ Kanàne ao ka i san-kèrey.
The sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6 Toe nimpifehe i taney t’Iosefe, mpandetak’ amy ze fonga ondati’ i taney. Le nimb’eo o rahalahi’ Iosefeo nibaboke an-tane aolo’e eo.
Now Joseph was the governor over the land. He was the one who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph's brothers came and bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.
7 Aa naho nahaisake o rahalahi’eo t’Iosefe, le nifohi’e, fe nimintse ho ambahiny am’iereo, vaho nendakendaha’e, Boak’aia v’inahareoo? hoe re. Hoe iereo, Hirik’an-tane Kanàne añe hikalo mahakama.
Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he disguised himself to them and spoke harshly with them. He said to them, “Where have you come from?” They said, “From the land of Canaan to buy food.”
8 Toe nirendre’ Iosefe o rahalahi’eo, f’ie tsy naharendreke aze.
Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
9 Nitiahi’ Iosefe o ninofise’e iareoo, le hoe re am’ iereo, Mpifilo nahareo, nivotrak’ atoy hahaisake ty fihaloa’ o taneo!
Then Joseph remembered the dreams he had dreamed about them, and he said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the undefended parts of the land.”
10 Le hoe iereo tama’e, Aiy, ry talèko, ty hikalo mahakama ty nitsatoha’ o mpitoro’oo atoy.
They said to him, “No, my master. Your servants have come to buy food.
11 Songa ana’ t’indaty raike zahay; ondaty vantañe, fa tsy mpisary tane o mpitoro’oo.
We are all one man's sons. We are honest men. Your servants are not spies.”
12 Hoe re am’ iereo: Aiy, toe nimb’atoy nahareo handrendreke ty fiboridaña’ o taneo!
He said to them, “No, you have come to see the undefended parts of the land.”
13 Hoe iereo, Mpitoro’o zahay, roahalahy folo-ro’ amby, ana’ t’indaty e Kanàne ao, fe an-drae’ay añe ty tsitso’e vaho tsy eo ty raike.
They said, “We your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. See, the youngest is this day with our father, and one brother is no longer alive.”
14 Aa hoe t’Iosefe am’ iereo: Ie i vinolako ama’areoy, toe mpisary nahareo.
Joseph said to them, “It is what I said to you; you are spies.
15 Inao t’ie tsoheko: kanao veloñe t’i Parò, tsy hiavotse atoy nahareo naho tsy pok’ atoy heik’ i tsitso’areoy!
By this you will be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you will not leave here, unless your youngest brother comes here.
16 Ampihitrifo ami’ty raik’ ama’ areo i zai’ areoy le hambenañe an-drohy ao nahareo, hitsohañe ty enta’ areo ke ama’areo ty hato, fa naho tsie, kanao veloñe t’i Parò, le mpipiapia.
Send one of yourselves and let him get your brother. You will remain in prison, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you.”
17 Aa le fonga natonto’e am-balabey ao telo andro.
He put them all in custody for three days.
18 Ie amy andro fahateloy, le ty hoe ty nanoa’ Iosefe, Ano zao soa te ho veloñe, amy te mpañeveñ’ aman’ Añahare raho:
Joseph said to them on the third day, “Do this and live, for I fear God.
19 aa naho ondaty vañoñe nahareo, angao an-traño nandrohizañe anahareo atoy ty rahalahi’ areo raike. Le akia, añendeso mahakama ty amy hasalikoañey o keleia’ areoo,
If you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined in this prison, but you go, carry grain for the famine of your houses.
20 vaho endeso mb’etoa i tsitso’ areoy, hañato o enta’ areoo, le tsy hikoromake. Aa le nanoe’ iereo.
Bring your youngest brother to me so your words will be verified and you will not die.” So they did so.
21 Hoe ty vesoveso’ iareo, Inao, toly aman-tika ty nanoen-tika amy rahalahin-tikañey, nionin-tika i halovilovim-piai’ey, ie nitoreo aman-tikañe, ie tsy nete nitsanoñe. Toly ndra hehe ty fangovitañe mifetsak’ aman-tikañe.
They said to one another, “We are truly guilty concerning our brother in that we saw the distress of his soul when he pleaded with us and we would not listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us.”
22 Natoi’ i Reòbene ty hoe, Tsy vinolako hao te tsy hanoan-draty i ajalahiy? F’ie tsy nañaoñe vaho hehe te paiaeñe i lio’ey.
Reuben answered them, “Did I not tell you, 'Do not sin against the boy,' but you would not listen? Now, see, his blood is required of us.”
23 Namoea’ iareo te nirendre’ Iosefe iaby i hoe zay fa ampañivoa’ iareo ty mpandika.
They did not know that Joseph understood them, for there was an interpreter between them.
24 Nivìk’ am’iareo hey re nirovetse, naho nibalike le nisaontsy, naho jinobo’e am’ iereo t’i Simone vaho rinohi’e aolom-pihaino’ iareo.
He turned from them and wept. He returned to them and spoke to them. He took Simeon from among them and bound him before their eyes.
25 Nandily t’Iosefe le natsafeñe tsako o goni’ iareoo naho songa nahereñe am’ondatio an-goni’e ao ty drala’e vaho nivatieñe amy liay. Nanoeñe ho a’ iareo zay.
Then Joseph commanded his servants to fill his brothers' bags with grain, and to put every man's money back into his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. It was done for them.
26 Nalogologo’ iereo ambone’ o borìke’eo o mahakamao vaho nienga.
The brothers loaded their donkeys with their grain and departed from there.
27 Aa teo ty nanokak’ i goni’ey hivaty i borìke’ey t’ie nitobe, nizoe’e i drala’ey, inge t’ie am-bava’ i goniy eo.
As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey feed in the lodging place, he saw his money. Behold, it was in the opening of his sack.
28 Hoe re amo rahalahi’eo, Nabalik’ amako i dralakoy, ie o an-gonikoo. Ho namoe’ay iereo fa nirevendreveñe, le nifanao ty hoe, Ino ty nanoan’ Añahare aman-tikañe?
He said to his brothers, “My money has been put back. Look at it; it is in my sack.” Their hearts sank and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29 Ie pok’ aman-drae’e an-tane’ Kanàne añe, le natalily ama’e ze hene nifetsak’ am’iereo, ami’ty hoe,
They went to Jacob, their father in the land of Canaan and told him all that had happened to them. They said,
30 Nañomey tsipeha anay indatiy, ty talè’ i taney nanisy anay te inao mpijekejeke amy taney.
“The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us and thought that we were spies in the land.
31 Fe hoe ty natoi’ay ama’e, Ondaty mahity zahay fa tsy mpitingañe.
We said to him, 'We are honest men. We are not spies.
32 Mpirahalahy folo ro’ amby zahay, foetse raik’ aman-drae’ay; tsy eo ty raike, vaho aman-drae’e an-tane’ Kanàne añe ty tsitso’e henaneo.
We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is no longer alive, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.'
33 Le hoe indatiy, i mpifehe’ i taney ama’aiy, Amy hoe zao ty haharendrehako te ondaty vantañe nahareo: angao amako atoy ty raik’ amo rahalahi’ areoo, indeso mahakama ty amo hasalikoañeo o añ’anjomba’ areoo, vaho mañaveloa;
The man, the lord of the land, said to us, 'By this I will know that you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers with me, take grain for the famine in your houses, and go your way.
34 fe hitrifo mb’atoy i tsitso’ areoy haharendrehako te tsy mpifilo nahareo fa ondaty vañoñe. Ie amy zay, havotsoko ama’areo i rahalahi’oy vaho hikalo an-tane atoy nahareo.
Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. Then I will release your brother to you, and you will trade in the land.'”
35 Ie sambe nampidoañe ty goni’e, le hehe te amy goni’ey ty kotran-drala’e. Aa naho niisa’ iereo naho i rae’ iareo o kotran-drala’ iareoo, le nangebahebake.
It came about as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bag of silver was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bags of silver, they were afraid.
36 Le hoe ty nanoa’ Iakòbe rae’ iareo, Toe nampihontoha’ areo ahy o anakoo, tsy eo t’Iosefe, tsy eo t’i Simone vaho te hampisintone’ areo ka t’i Beniamine. Fonga nidoñ’ amako!
Jacob their father said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children. Joseph is no longer alive, Simeon is gone, and you will take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.”
37 Aa hoe ty asa’ i Reòbene aman-drae’e, Vonò i ana-dahiko roe rey naho tsy hendeseko mimpoly ama’o atoy. Apoho an-tañako ato le zaho ty hampipoly aze ama’o.
Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “You may kill my two sons if I do not bring Benjamin back to you. Put him in my hands, and I will bring him to you again.”
38 Fe hoe re, Tsy hizotso mb’eo i anakoy, mate i rahalahi’ey le ie ty honka’e. Aa ie mizo voiñe amy lia handena’ areoy le hazotso’areo an-kontoke mb’ antsikeokeok’ao o volo-fotikoo. (Sheol h7585)
Jacob said, “My son will not go down with you. For his brother is dead and he alone is left. If harm comes to him on the road in which you go, then you will bring down my gray hair with sorrow to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
