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 you look at one another?”
2 Na da nabi gagoma Idibidi sogega diala. Ninia da ha: iba: le bogosa: besa: le, amoga lala masa.”
He said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there, and buy for us from there, so that we may live, and not die.”
3 Amaiba: le, Yousefe ea yolalali nabuane gala da Idibidi sogega gagoma bidi lamusa: asi dagoi.
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 Jacob didn’t send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brothers; for he said, “Lest perhaps harm happen to 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.
The sons of Israel came to buy amongst 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.
Joseph was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph’s brothers came, 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.”
Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognised them, but acted like a stranger to them, and spoke roughly with them. He said to them, “Where did you come from?” 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.
Joseph recognised his brothers, but they didn’t recognise 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.”
Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamt about them, and said to them, “You are spies! You 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.
They said to him, “No, my lord, but your 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 honest men. Your servants are not spies.”
12 Yousefe bu adole i, “Hame mabu! Dilia da ninia soge amo ea gasa hame hou ba: la misi dagoi.”
He said to them, “No, but you 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.”
They said, “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is today with our father, and one is no more.”
14 Yousefe da bu adole i, “Na sia: i defele dilia da desega ahoasu dunu.
Joseph said to them, “It is like I told you, saying, ‘You 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 you shall be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go out 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 get your brother, and you shall be bound, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you, or else by the life of Pharaoh surely you are spies.”
17 Amalalu, e da ili se iasu diasu ganodini sali. Amoga ilia eso udiana esalu.
He put them all together into custody 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.
Joseph said to them the third day, “Do this, 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 you are honest men, then let one of your brothers be bound in your prison; but you go, 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.
Bring your youngest brother to me; so will your words be verified, and you won’t die.” 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.”
They said to one another, “We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us, and we wouldn’t listen. 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.”
Reuben answered them, saying, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘Don’t sin against the child,’ and you wouldn’t listen? 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.
They didn’t 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.
He turned himself away from them, and wept. Then he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from amongst 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 gave a command to fill their bags with grain, and to restore each man’s money into his sack, and to give them food for the way. So it was done to them.
26 Amalalu, Yousefe yolalali da ilia gagoma lai, amo ilia dougi baligiga ligisili, yolesili asi.
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.
As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food in the lodging place, he saw his money. 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: ?”
He said to his brothers, “My money is restored! Behold, it is in my sack!” Their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one 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,
They came to Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened to 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.
We said to him, ‘We are honest men. 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 no more, and the youngest is today 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.
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, 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.”
Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and you 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.
As they emptied their sacks, behold, each man’s bundle of money was in his sack. 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.”
Jacob, their father, said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children! Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to 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.”
Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “Kill my two sons, if I don’t bring him to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him to you 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)
He said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm happens to him along the way in which you go, then you will bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
