Genesisy 43
1 Mbe nizeke mafe amy taney ty san-kerè.
And the famine was sore in the land.
2 Aa naho fa nikamae’ iereo i mahakama nendese’ iereo boake Mitsraimey, le hoe ty rae’ iareo ama’e, Akia ihereño, mikaloa mahakama tsy ampeampe ho antika.
And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.
3 Aa hoe t’Iehodà ama’e, Nañatahata anay aman-titike indatiy, ami’ty hoe, Tsy ho oni’ areo ka ty tareheko naho tsy indreza’ i zai’ areoy.
And Judah spoke unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, All of you shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
4 Aa naho ampihitrife’o hindre ama’ay ty zai’ay, le hizotso mb’eo zahay hivily mahakama ho azo;
If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you food:
5 fa naho tsy haha’o handeha re, le tsy hizotso mb’eo zahay, amy nihatahata’ indatiy, ty hoe, Tsy ho isa’areo ty tareheko naho tsy ama’ areo ty zai’ areo.
But if you will not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, All of you shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
6 Hoe t’Israele, Ino ty nijoia’ areo ahiko ami’ty fivola’ areo am’indatiy t’ie mbe aman-drahalahy?
And Israel said, Wherefore dealt all of you so ill with me, as to tell the man whether all of you had yet a brother?
7 Hoe ty natoi’ iareo, Nandohy anay ty ama’ay naho o longo’aio indatiy, nanao ty hoe, Mbe velom-bao ty Rae’ areo? Manañe ana-dahy ila’e hao? Aa kanao nañontane re, vinale’ay. Ho nihai’ay aia te ho nisaontsie’e ty hoe, Ampizotsò mb’ atoy i rahalahi’oy?
And they said, The man asked us strictly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have all of you another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
8 Le hoe t’Iehodà am’ Israele rae’e, Ampindrezo amako i ajalahiy, le hionjon-jahay, soa te ho veloñe tika fa tsy hivetrake—Ihe naho zahay vaho o keleian-tikañeo.
And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and you, and also our little ones.
9 Zaho avao ty ho tsoake ho aze; hamolilie’o an-tañako. Aa naho tsy habaliko ama’o atoy, havotrako añatrefa’o, le ee ty ho amako nainai’e i hakeo zay.
I will be guarantor for him; of my hand shall you require him: if I bring him not unto you, and set him before you, then let me bear the blame for ever:
10 Aa naho tsy nihenekenek’ avao tika le fa ho n’indroe nimpoly.
For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
11 Aa le hoe ty nanoa’ Israele rae’ iareo, Naho izay, le ano zao, Añendeso amo goni’ areoo o vokatse soa’ ty tane toio, vaho ahitrifo amy ‘ndatiy ho ravoravo ty aoly fihosotse tsy ampeampe naho tantele kede naho fisìke naho fampafirañe naho rame naho katra vaho sakoañe.
And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
12 Endeso an-taña’ areo in-droe’ o dralao. Tintino hibalike mb’eo an-taña’areo i drala nabalik’ amo goni’ areooy; kera nilosoreñe.
And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; possibly it was an oversight:
13 Endeso ka ty zai’areo le miongaha, mibaliha mb’am’ indatiy;
Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
14 lonike te ho tretreze’ i El-Sadai abey nahareo añatrefa’ indatiy, hamotsora’e i rahalahi’areoy naho i Beniamine. Aa naho zaho, lehe ampihontohañe le hihontoke.
And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
15 Aa le nendese’ o lahilahio i ravoravoy naho indroe’ ty drala’e am-pità’iareo vaho i Beniamine le niongake naho nizotso mb’e Mitsraime añe vaho nijohañe añatrefa’ Iosefe eo.
And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
16 Ie niisa’ Iosefe te am’iereo t’i Beniamine, le hoe re ami’ty mpitoro’ i anjomba’ey, andentao hare le halankaño sabadidake, fa hitrao-pikama amako ondati-reo te tsipindemena.
And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.
17 Nanoe’ indatiy i nafanto’ Iosefe ama’ey, le nampihovae’e añ’anjomba’ Iosefe ao indaty rey.
And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
18 Nihembañe amy zao i lahilahy rey kanao nendeseñe mb’añ’anjomba’ Iosefe ao, le nanao ty hoe, Hera i dralay, i nampoly an-goni’ay am-baloha’eiy ro nampizilihañe anay, hikaboha’e raha, hiambotraha’e, naho hondevoze’e rekets’ o borìken-tikañeo.
And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
19 Aa le niheo amy mpitoroñ’ anjomba’ Iosefey mb’eo iereo nisaontsy ama’e an-tsarira’ i anjombay eo,
And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
20 ami’ty hoe, Ry Taleko, toe nizotso mb’atoa hikalo mahakama zahay tam-baloha’ey;
And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
21 f’ie nandoak’ amy nitofà’aiy añe, nanokake o goni’aio le songa nanjo ty drala’e ambava’ i goni’ey t’indaty, ty drala’ay ami’ty lanja’e. Aa le nendese’ay mb’atoy an-taña’ay,
And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
22 mbore nandesa’ay drala fañampe’e an-tañañe hikaloa’ay mahakama. Nofi’ay ty nampizilike i dralay an-goni’ay ao.
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
23 Hoe ty natoi’e, Manintsiña, ko hembañe; i Andrianañahare’ areo naho Andrianañaharen-drae’ areoy ty nampipoke ty vara’ areo amo goni’ areoo; fa nasese amako i drala’areoy. Le naaka’e mb’am’iereo t’i Simone.
And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
24 Aa le nampihove’ i mpitoroñey añ’ anjomba’ Iosefe ao indaty rey le nanjotsoa’e rano, hanasa’e fandia, vaho nifahana’e o borìke’eo,
And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses animal food.
25 le nampihentseñe’ iereo ho amy fiavi’ Iosefe amy tsipinde-menaiy i ravoravoy, fa jinanji’ iareo te hikama ao.
And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
26 Ie nimpoly añ’anjomba’e ao t’Iosefe le nibanabanae’ iereo ama’e añ’anjomba ao o ravoravo am-pità’iareoo vaho nibokoboko an-tane añ’atrefa’e eo.
And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
27 Nañontanea’e ty hajangaña’ iareo, naho ty hoe, Jangam-bao ty rae’areo, i androanavy bey tinoño’ areoy? Mbe veloñe hao?
And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom all of you spoke? Is he yet alive?
28 Soa avao i mpitoro’oy, ty rae’ay, mbe velon-dre. Le niondreke iereo, niambane.
And they answered, Your servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made reverence.
29 Niandra amy zao re vaho nahaoniñe i Beniamine rahalahi’e, i anan-drene’ey, le hoe re, Rahalahy tsitso’ areo hao itia-hoekey? i natalili’areo amakoy? Ama’o abey anako, ty fatarihan’ Añahare!
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom all of you spoke unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto you, my son.
30 Le nibioñe añe t’Iosefe ty amy hamaniña’e an-jai’e, nipay hirovetse. Nizilik’ an-traño’e ao re niharovetse.
And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
31 Nanasa laharan-dre naho nilie-batañe vaho niakatse, le nanao ty hoe: Azotsò i mahakamay.
And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
32 Nanjotsoa’ iareo hey re, ie raike, naho natokañe am’ iereo ka, le nanjotsoañe manokañe o nte-Mitsraime mpitrao-pikama ama’eo, amy te tsy mete miharo-fikama amo nte-Evreo o nte-Mitsraimeo fa faly e Mitsraime ao.
And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
33 Le nampiambesareñe añatrefa’e, ty tañoloñoloña’e aolo ty amy zo’ey pak’an-jai’e ty amy hatsitso’ey, le nifampijilojilo an-kalatsañe o mpirahalahio.
And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.
34 Nanjotsoañe boak’ am-pandambaña’ Iosefe iereo, fe indime’ ty mahakama niazo’ ty raike ty nazotso amy Beniamine. Aa le nitrao-pikama naho finoñe ama’e iereo.
And he took and sent portions unto them from before him: but Benjamin's portion was five times so much as any of their's. And they drank, and were merry with him.
