Dud'uit Fefeu' a 43
1 Leleꞌ naa, ndoes-laꞌas sia Kanaꞌan boe fua.
And the famine was sore in the land.
2 Yakob no ume isi nara rabasaꞌ hendi nanaat fo maꞌahulu na, ana nara rendi mia Masir. Boe ma ana nafadꞌe se nae, “Ana nggare. Malole lenaꞌ hei baliꞌ Masir mii, fo hasa seluꞌ nanaat fee hita dei.”
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 Te Yahuda nataa nae, “Amaꞌ! Faiꞌ naa, fetor naa fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu hai nae, mete ma hai nda mo amaꞌ ana muri ma sa, naa, hai afiꞌ mitudꞌu mata mara neu e.
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 De amaꞌ musi mboꞌi odꞌi Benyamin, fo tungga hai dei. Naa fo hai feꞌe mii hasa nanaat fee amaꞌ.
If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you food:
5 Te mete ma amaꞌ nda fee Benyamin neu sa, naa, hai o nda mi saꞌ boe. Te atahori Masir naa olaꞌ taꞌo naa ena naa.”
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 Boe ma Yakob ai se nae, “Taꞌo bee de hei mifadꞌe atahori naa, mae hei odꞌi ma feꞌe hela esa fai. Hei sangga miꞌisususaꞌ a au!”
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 Te ara kokoe rae, “Amaꞌ e! Atahori naa akaꞌ natane nakandooꞌ a, fo nae bubꞌuluꞌ hita bobꞌonggiꞌ nara. Ana natane nae, ‘Taꞌo bee? Hei ama ma feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ, do? Hei feꞌe ma odꞌi touꞌ fai, do?’ De hai feꞌe mae saa fai!’ Naa de hai o olaꞌ no matetuꞌ boe. Te se nitaꞌ nae ana nae denu hai mendi odꞌiꞌ neu sia naa?”
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 Boe ma Yahuda olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ! Mboꞌi anaꞌ naa neu no hai leo. Au helu, mete ma dadꞌi saa-saa neu e, naa, au nggati ala e. Mete ma au nda o baliꞌ e masodꞌaꞌ neu amaꞌ sa, naa, amaꞌ fua salaꞌ neu au losa mate. Dadꞌi amaꞌ mboꞌi anaꞌ naa leo, te hai mae lao ia ena. Malole lenaꞌ hai mi lai-lai, fo ata afiꞌ mate ndoes.
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.
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 Sobꞌa hai nda mihani doo na basa ia sa, naa hai baliꞌ lao rua ena.”
For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
11 Boe ma ama na nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, hei tao taꞌo ia. Mendi hita rae na buna-bꞌoa malole na, onaꞌ a oni oeꞌ, bumbu-bumbu, hau maꞌameniꞌ raa na, modꞌo salap, kanari no hau dekeꞌ lain ra. Mendi basa se fee neu fetor Masir a, fo mae ia hita lepa-ngges na.
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 Hei o mendi doiꞌ dedesi na lao rua, huu hei musi fee baliꞌ doiꞌ fo hei hambu mia karon mara faiꞌ naa. Mbei ma atahori naa ra mbedꞌaꞌ rasalaꞌ.
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 Mo hei odꞌi ma boe, te baliꞌ lai-lai e.
Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
14 Au hule-huleꞌ fo Lamatualain Koasa mana Seliꞌ na, tao fetor a kasian hei. Naa fo ana nau fee baliꞌ Benyamin no Simeon, fo basa hei baliꞌ. Te, mete ma ana nggara mopo se, naa, au lemba sususaꞌ naa sambe mate.”
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 Basa naa de, ara reu raduru lepa-ngges ma haꞌi doiꞌ, fo rendi Masir neu. De ara lao ro Benyamin. Ara losa naa de, reu risiꞌ Yusuf.
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 Yusuf nita Benyamin no aꞌa nara ma, ana denu malangga mana tao ues nae, “We! Mo atahori ia ra risiꞌ ume ngga. Mi tati sapi esa, fo nasu maladꞌa-maladꞌaꞌ. Te dei fo, ara raa reorenduꞌ ro au.”
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 Boe ma, malangga mana tao ues tao tungga Yusuf parenda na. De ana no se risiꞌ Yusuf ume na.
And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
18 Ara lao boe ma, aꞌa nara ramatau rala seli. Sia dalaꞌ taladꞌa na ara ola-olaꞌ rae, “We! Taꞌo bee de ana denu ro hita tisiꞌ ia. Seꞌu-seꞌu te nae tao naꞌasususaꞌ hita, huu doiꞌ fo ara tao baliꞌ sia hita karon na maꞌahulu na. Ara ro hita ia tema, fo aiboiꞌ ma, toꞌu hita, fo tao dadꞌi ate na. Ma rambas rala hita keledei nara.”
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 Naa de, deka-deka Yusuf ume na ma, ara olaꞌ ro malangga mana tao ues a rae,
And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
20 “Ama! Hai moꞌe maꞌaf, te maꞌahulu na hai ima hasa nanaat sia ia ena boe.
And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
21 Hai baliꞌ kamboꞌ mi, de hai hahae mia dalaꞌ. Mae sungguꞌ ma, hai sefi karon fo mae hani banda ra. Naa te hai hambu baliꞌ esa-esaꞌ doiꞌ are mara, mia karon rala. Hai nda mihine seka mana tao neu naa sa. De ia naa, hai mendi baliꞌ basa doiꞌ naa ra. Dadꞌi amaꞌ afiꞌ mumunasa o. Hela fo amaꞌ nahine, ia naa hai o mendi doiꞌ lenaꞌ fo mae hasa seluꞌ nanaat feuꞌ.”
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.
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
23 Basa ma, malangga mana tao uesꞌ a nataa nae, “Hei neneꞌ a. Afiꞌ mimitau. Mbei ma hei Lamatualain ma, mana fee nggi papala-babꞌanggiꞌ sia karon naa ra. Faiꞌ naa, au simbo ala basa hei doi ma ena. Hei nda mihuta saa saꞌ boe!” Boe ma ana mboꞌi Simeon neu se.
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 De basa se risiꞌ Yusuf ume na rala. Malangga mana tao ues a fee se oe safe ei nara. Ana o hani keledei nara boe.
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 Boe ma, nafadꞌe nae, “Dei fo hei mia reorenduꞌ mo malangga.” Ara feꞌe rahati Yusuf nenema na ma, ara haꞌi memaꞌ lepa-ngges nara.
And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
26 Yusuf losa boe, basa se sendeꞌ lululangga nara sia mata na. Dei de, ara fee lepa-ngges ra reu e.
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 Yusuf natane se nae, “Taꞌo bee? Basa hei malolole, do? Hei ama ma lasiꞌ naa, onaꞌ bee? Ana malole, do?”
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 Rataa rae, “Amaꞌ ate lasi ma, fo hai ama bꞌonggi ma, malolole.” Basa de, ara beꞌutee fee hadat neu e.
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 Yusuf mete ndule basa se, de nita odꞌi na Benyamin. Ana nae, “Ooo! Ia eni, hei odꞌi muri ma fo hei dui faiꞌ naa, do?” Boe ma ana olaꞌ no Benyamin nae, “Ana ngge! Au hule-huleꞌ fo Lamatualain pala-banggi fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ naeꞌ.”
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 Nita Benyamin ma, Yusuf naeꞌ a natudꞌu susue na ena. Huu ana sue odꞌi na nae na seli. Ana nda naeꞌ a naꞌatataaꞌ nala rala na sa ena. De ana lai-lai lao hela se, nisiꞌ kama na rala. Ana nggae mesuꞌudꞌu-faruka sia naa.
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 Nggae basa, dei de neu narou mata na. Ana naꞌamamateꞌ rala na, de neu nandaa no se fai. Basa de, ana denu pagau nara reu ralalau mei a.
And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
32 Ara tao fee Yusuf naa mia mei mesaꞌ ne. Odi-aꞌa nara raa sia mei feaꞌ. Atahori Masir mana tao ues nara raa sia mei feaꞌ boe, huu atahori Masir ra melumudꞌu raa raꞌabꞌue ro atahori Ibrani ra.
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 Malangga mana tao ues a fee Yusuf odꞌi-aꞌa nara endoꞌ matambambaliꞌ ro e. Ana fee se endoꞌ teri-teri tungga sira too nara, mia aꞌaꞌ losa odꞌi muriꞌ a. Rita taꞌo naa ma, titindindi.
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 Yusuf denu pagau nara haꞌi nanaat fee odꞌi-aꞌa nara mia mei na. Basa se simbo ona-ona esaꞌ. Te ara tao fee Benyamin, lenaꞌ aꞌa nara lao lima. De basa se raa-rinu losa raꞌabeta.
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.
