1 Ya: igobe da gagoma Idibidi dialebe amo nababeba: le, egefelali ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da abuli udigili esalabala?
Then saw Jacob that there was corn in Egypt, —and Jacob said to his sons, Wherefore look ye one at another?
2 Na da nabi gagoma Idibidi sogega diala. Ninia da ha: iba: le bogosa: besa: le, amoga lala masa.”
And he said, Lo I have heard that there is corn in Egypt, —Go down thither and buy corn for us from thence, that we may live and not die.
3 Amaiba: le, Yousefe ea yolalali nabuane gala da Idibidi sogega gagoma bidi lamusa: asi dagoi.
So Joseph’s ten brethren went down, —to buy corn from the Egyptians;
4 Be e da se nabasa: besa: le, Ya: igobe da Yousefe eya Bediamini amo hame asunasi.
but, Benjamin, Joseph’s own brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren, —for he said, Lest there befall him any mischief.
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.
Thus came in the sons of Israel, to buy corn in the midst of them that 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.
Now, Joseph—he, it was, that was in power over the land, he, it was that was selling corn to all the people of the land, —so Joseph’s brethren came in, and bowed themselves down 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 beheld his brethren and recognised them, —and made himself a stranger unto them and spake with them harsh things and said unto them—Whence have ye come in? 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 recognised his brethren, —whereas they, recognised him not.
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 had dreamed regarding them, —so he said unto them—Spies, are, ye! to see the nakedness of the land, have ye come in!
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 unto him, Nay, my lord, —but, thy servants, are come to buy food.
11 Ninia huluane da olalali esala. Ninia da desega ahoasu dunu hame. Ninia huluane da moloi dunu.”
All of us, are, sons of one man, —honest men, are we: thy servants are not, spies.
12 Yousefe bu adole i, “Hame mabu! Dilia da ninia soge amo ea gasa hame hou ba: la misi dagoi.”
And he said unto him, —Nay! but, the nakedness of the land, are ye come in to see.
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 twelve servants, are, brethren, sons of one man in the and of Canaan, —and lo! the youngest: is with our father this day, and, the one, is not!
14 Yousefe da bu adole i, “Na sia: i defele dilia da desega ahoasu dunu.
And Joseph said unto them, —The very thing, that I spake unto you, saying—Spies, are, ye.
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.
Hereby, shall ye be proved, —By the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not go forth from hence, save only by the coming in of your youngest brother hither.
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—from among you—one that he may fetch your brother, but be, ye, held as prisoners, that your words may be proved whether, truth, is with you, —and, if not, by the life of Pharaoh, surely, spies, ye are.
17 Amalalu, e da ili se iasu diasu ganodini sali. Amoga ilia eso udiana esalu.
So he drew them all together into ward, for 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 unto them on the third day, This, do and live, —God himself, do, I, revere.
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, are, honest men, one brother of you shall be kept as a prisoner in your house of ward, —but, ye, go, take in corn 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 your youngest brother, shall ye bring in unto me, that your words may be confirmed, and ye die not. 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 each man unto his brother—Verily guilty, we are, respecting our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul when he appealed unto us for favour and we hearkened not, —therefore, hath come in unto us this distress.
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 responded to them, saying—Spake I not unto you saying, Do not sin against the child! And ye hearkened not? His very blood, therefore lo! it 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.
But, they, knew not that Joseph was hearkening, —for, the interpreter, was 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.
So he turned away from them, and wept, —then came back unto them and spake unto them, and took away from them Simeon, and bound him prisoner 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 commanded Joseph that their bags should be filled with corn, and their silver be returned each man’s into his sack, and provision be given for the journey, —and it was done to them thus.
26 Amalalu, Yousefe yolalali da ilia gagoma lai, amo ilia dougi baligiga ligisili, yolesili asi.
So they lifted up their corn on their asses, —and went their way, from thence.
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 the first opened his sack to give fodder to his ass at the inn, —and beheld his silver, yea there, 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: ?”
So he said unto his brethren My silver hath been returned, yea verily, there it is in my sack! Then went forth their heart and they turned trembling—each man unto his brother saying. What is this that God hath done to us?
29 Ilia da eda Ya: igobema doaga: loba, ilia da hou huluane ilima misi amo huluane ema amane adoi,
So they came in unto 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 that is lord of the land spake unto us harsh things, —and then delivered us up. as spies of the land.
31 Be ninia ema bu adole i, ‘Ninia da desega ahoasu dunu hame. Ninia moloidafa dunu.
And we said unto him Honest men, are, we, —we are not 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.’
Twelve brethren, are, we, sons of our father, —the 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.
Then said the man the lord of the land unto us, Hereby, shall I get to know that honest men, ye are, —One brother of you, leave ye remaining with me, and corn for the famine of your houses, take ye 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 ye in your youngest brother unto me, So must I get to know that ye are, not spies, but are honest men: Your brother, will I give up to you, and with the land, shall ye traffic.
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 when, they, were emptying their, sacks then lo! each man’s bundle of silver, was in his sack, —and when they beheld their bundles of silver—they and their father, 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 unto them, Me, have ye bereaved, —Joseph, is not, and, Simeon, is not, and Benjamin, ye would take! Against me, have happened all these things.
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.”
Then spake Reuben unto his father saying, My two sons, shalt thou put to death, if I bring him not unto thee, —Come give him up upon my hand, and I, will restore him unto thee.
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 alone, is left, and as surely as there befall him any mischief by the way wherein ye go, so surely shall ye bring down my grey hairs with sorrow unto hades. (Sheol h7585)
