Mui 42
1 Ya: igobe da gagoma Idibidi dialebe amo nababeba: le, egefelali ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da abuli udigili esalabala?
Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt. And Jacob said to his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
2 Na da nabi gagoma Idibidi sogega diala. Ninia da ha: iba: le bogosa: besa: le, amoga lala masa.”
And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Get you down there, and buy for us from there, that we may live, and not die.
3 Amaiba: le, Yousefe ea yolalali nabuane gala da Idibidi sogega gagoma bidi lamusa: asi dagoi.
And Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
4 Be e da se nabasa: besa: le, Ya: igobe da Yousefe eya Bediamini amo hame asunasi.
But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob did not send with his brothers, for he said, Lest perhaps harm befall him.
5 Ga: ina: ne soge da ha: i bagadeba: le, Ya: igobe egefelali da eno dunu gilisili, gagoma ha: i manu bidi lama: ne misi.
And the sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6 Yousefe, Idibidi ouligisu hina dunu, da osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane ilima gagoma bidi lalu. Amaiba: le, Yousefe yolalali da ema misini, ilia odagi osoboa digimusa: begudui.
And Joseph was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came, and bowed down themselves to him with their faces to the earth.
7 Yousefe da ea yolalali ba: beba: le, ili dawa: i galu. Be e da ogogole, e da ili hame dawa: i agoane hamoi. E da gasa fiwane ilima adole ba: i, “Dilia da habidili misibala: ?” Ilia da bu adole i, “Ninia da Ga: ina: ne sogega ha: i manu bidi lamusa: misi.”
And Joseph saw his brothers, and he knew them, but made himself foreign to them, and spoke roughly with them. And he said to them. From where come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
8 Yousefe da ea yolalali dawa: i. Be e da ilia eya amo ilia da hame dawa: i.
And Joseph knew his brothers, but they did not know him.
9 E da ilima musa: simasia ba: su amo bu dawa: i. E ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da desega ahoasu dunu. Dilia da Idibidi soge amo ninia habidili gasa hame gala amo ba: la misi.”
And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them. And said to them, Ye are spies; ye have come to see the nakedness of the land.
10 Be ilia bu adole i, “Hame mabu, hina! Ninia da dia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu defele, ha: i manu bidi lamusa: misi.
And they said to him, No, my lord, but thy servants have come to buy food.
11 Ninia huluane da olalali esala. Ninia da desega ahoasu dunu hame. Ninia huluane da moloi dunu.”
We are all one man's sons. We are true men. Thy servants are no spies.
12 Yousefe bu adole i, “Hame mabu! Dilia da ninia soge amo ea gasa hame hou ba: la misi dagoi.”
And he said to them, No, but ye have come to see the nakedness of the land.
13 Ilia bu amane sia: i, “Ninia da olalali fagoyale galu. Ninia da dunu afae Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini amo ea manolali gala. Be eya afae da bogoi, amola ufi dunu mano da ninia eda amola esala.”
And they said, We thy servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. And, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
14 Yousefe da bu adole i, “Na sia: i defele dilia da desega ahoasu dunu.
And Joseph said to them, This is that which I spoke to you, saying, Ye are spies.
15 Na dilima adoba: su hou hamomu. Felou ea dioba: le, na da agoane sia: sa. Dilia fa: no lalelegei eya da guiguda: hame manoba, dilia da guiguda: hamedafa yolesimu.
By this ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth from here unless your youngest brother comes here.
16 Dilia fi dunu afae e lala masa: ma! Dilia eno huluane da guiguda: se iasu diasu ganodini esalumu. Dilia sia: da dafawane o dafawane hame, amo ninia ba: mu.”
Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother. And ye shall be bound, that your words may be proved, whether there be truth in you, or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
17 Amalalu, e da ili se iasu diasu ganodini sali. Amoga ilia eso udiana esalu.
And he put them all together into ward three days.
18 Eso udiana amoga Yousefe da ilima amane sia: i, “Na da Godema beda: i dunu. Dilia liligi afadafa hamosea fawane, na da dili hame fane legemu.
And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, and live, for I fear God:
19 Dilia sia: da dafawane olelema: ne, dunu afae fawane da se iasu diasu ganodini esalumu. Dilia eno da dilia ha: i bagade fi ilima ha: i manu dilia lai gaguli masa.
If ye be true men, let one of your brothers be bound in your prison house, but go ye, carry grain for the famine of your houses,
20 Amasea, dilia fa: no lalelegei eya amo guiguda: oule misa. Amasea, dilia da hame ogogoi, na da dawa: mu amola na da dili hame fane legemu.” Amo da defea ilia sia: i dagoi.
and bring your youngest brother to me. So shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
21 Ilia gilisili sia: dasu, “Dafawane! Wali ninia se nabasu da dabe agoane ninia eya ema wadela: le hamoiba: le lasa. E da ninima e fidima: ne se nabawane edegei, be ninia da hame nabi. Amaiba: le, ninia wali dabe agoane se naba.”
And they said one to another, We are truly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul when he besought us, and we would not hear. Therefore this distress has come upon us.
22 Liubene da amane sia: i, “Na da goi maedafa wadela: ma: ne sia: i; be dilia da hame nabi. Wali ea bogoi amoga ninia da dabe laha.”
And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Sin not against the child, and ye would not hear? Therefore also, behold, his blood is required.
23 Yousefe da ilia sia: huluane dawa: i. Be amo hou ilia da hame dawa: i. Ilia da ema sia: noba, sia: adole iasu dunu, amoga fawane sia: su.
And they did not know that Joseph understood them, for there was an interpreter between them.
24 Yousefe da ili yolesili, disu. Amalalu, e da ilima bu misini, ilima sia: dasu. Ea sia: beba: le, ea dadi gagui da Simiane lale, ilia huluane ba: ma: ne lala: gi dagoi.
And he turned himself around 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 Yousefe da sia: beba: le, ea hawa: hamosu dunu da ilia esa amo gagoma amoga nabalesi. Ilia da Yousefe yolalali ilia esa afae afae amo ganodini, silifa muni ilia musa: i, amo sali. Amola ilia da ha: i manu ilia logoga ahoasea moma: ne, ilima i.
Then Joseph commanded to fill their vessels with grain, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provisions for the way. And thus it was done to them.
26 Amalalu, Yousefe yolalali da ilia gagoma lai, amo ilia dougi baligiga ligisili, yolesili asi.
And they loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.
27 Asili, ilia da sogebi amo golamusa: ouesalu, dunu afae da ea dougi amo ha: i manu imunusa: ea esa doasilaloba, ea muni amo gagoma gadodili ligisi dialebe ba: i.
And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey provender in the lodging place, he saw his money, and, behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
28 E da yolalalima amane sia: i, “Na muni ilia da nama bu i. Amo da na esa ganodini dialebe ba: sa.” Ilia bagade beda: i galu. Ilia da gilisili amane sia: dasu, “Gode da anima adi hamobela: ?”
And he said to his brothers, My money is restored, and, lo, it is even in my sack. And their heart failed them, and they turned trembling one to another, saying, What is this that God has done to us?
29 Ilia da eda Ya: igobema doaga: loba, ilia da hou huluane ilima misi amo huluane ema amane adoi,
And they came to Jacob their father to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had befallen them, saying,
30 “Idibidi ouligisu hina dunu da ninima gasa bagade ougiwane sia: i. E da nini ea soge wadela: musa: , desega ahoanebe sia: i.
The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country.
31 Be ninia ema bu adole i, ‘Ninia da desega ahoasu dunu hame. Ninia moloidafa dunu.
And we said to him, We are true men, and we are no spies.
32 Ninia da olalali fagoyale galu. Ninia dunu afae amo egefelali gala. Ninia eya da bogoi amola fa: no lalelegei eya da ninia eda amola Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini esala.’
We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
33 Amalalu, Idibidi hina da amane sia: i, ‘Dilia da moloidafa dunu o hame, amo ninia da amoga ba: mu. Dunu afadafa da nama ouesalumu. Eno da dilia ha: i bagade fi ilima ha: i manu gaguli masa.
And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, By this I shall know that ye are true men. Leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your houses, and go your way,
34 Dia eya fa: no lalelegei, amo nama oule misa. Amasea, dilia da desega ahoasu dunu hame be moloidafa amo na da dawa: mu. Na da dilia ola dilima bu imunu. Amola dilia da guiguda: bidi lasu hamomusa: ouesalumu da defea.”
and bring your youngest brother to me. Then I shall know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and ye shall trade in the land.
35 Amalalu, ilia da gagoma esa ganodini sali amo huluane gugudili legeiya, ilia huluane muni ganodini sali dialebe ba: i. Amo ba: beba: le, ilia, amola ilia eda Ya: igobe, da bagade beda: i galu.
And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack. And when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid.
36 Ilia eda da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da na mano huluane fisimu, amo dilia da hanabala: ? Yousefe da fisi dagoi. Simiane da fisi dagoi. Wali dilia da Bediamini fadegamusa: dawa: lala. Ni fawane da se naba.”
And Jacob their father said to them, Ye have bereaved me of my sons. Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.
37 Liubene da ea edama amane sia: i, “Na da Bediamini dima bu hame oule masea, di da na dunu mano aduna fane legemu da defea. Na ouligima: ne, Bediamini nama ima. Na da e bu oule misunu.”
And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Kill my two sons if I do not bring him to thee. Deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
38 Be Ya: igobe da amane sia: i, “Na gofe da dili sigi masunu hamedei. Ea ola da bogoi amola hisu da esala. E da logoga se nabasa: besa: le, hamedafa masunu. Na da dunu da: i hamoi dagoi. Di da amo se nabasu nama iasea, na bogomu.” (Sheol h7585)
And he said, My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm befalls him by the way in which ye go, then ye will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
