Mui 43
1 Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini ha: i da bu bagade heda: lebe ba: i.
And the famine was grievous in the land.
2 Ya: igobe ea fi da gagoma huluane Idibidiga lai, amo na dagoloba, Ya: igobe da egefelali ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia Idibidi amoga ha: i manu fonobahadi bidi lamusa: masa.”
And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again, buy us a little food.
3 Yuda da ema amane sia: i, “Idibidi ouligisu hina da gasa bagade sisasu ninima sia: i. Ninia da eya hame oule masea, ea odagi hamedafa ba: mu sia: i.
And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man did positively testify to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you.
4 Be di da ninia eya ninia oule masunu defele ba: sea, ninia da ha: i manu bidi lala masunu.
If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food;
5 Be amo di higasea, ninia da hame masunu. Bai ouligisu hina da ninia eya hame oule masea, ea odagi hame ba: mu amane sia: i.”
but if thou do not send [him], we will not go down, for the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you.
6 Ya: igobe da amane sia: i, “Dilia abuliba: le nama se bagade iaha. Abuliba: le, dilia da eya eno esala amo ema olelebela: ?”
And Israel said, Why did ye deal [so] ill with me [as] to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
7 Ilia da bu adole i, “Ouligisu hina da ninia sosogo fi ilia hou, bagadewane adole ba: lalu amane, ‘Dilia eda wali esalabala? Dilia da eya eno esalabala?’ Ninia da ema adole hame imunu da hamedei. Ninia da habodane e da ‘Dilia eya guiguda: oule misa’ sia: mu amo dawa: bela: ?”
And they said, The man asked very closely after us, and after our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye a brother? And we told him according to the tenor of these words. Could we at all know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
8 Yuda da ea edama amane sia: i, “Na oule masa: ne, goi asunasili ninia wahadafa masunu. Amasea ninia huluane da hame ha: ga bogomu.
And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live, and not die, both we and thou and our little ones.
9 E da se hame nabimu, amo na da gasa bagade sia: sa. Na da amo goi hahawane hame bu oule masea, defea, di da nama eso huluane nisu da wadela: le hamoi sia: mu da defea.
I will be surety for him: of my hand shalt thou require him; if I bring him not to thee, and set him before thy face, then shall I be guilty toward thee for ever.
10 Be wali, ninia guiguda: sia: dalebe hame ouesalu ganiaba, ninia da Idibidi sogega aduna asili bu misini hamona: noba.”
For had we not lingered, we should now certainly have returned already twice.
11 Amalalu, ilia eda Isala: ili da ilima amane sia: i, “Defea! Amai galea dilia agoane hamoma. Dia liligi amo ganodini, ninia soge ha: i manu ida: iwane ouligisu hina ema ima: ne gaguli masa. Amo gamali fonobahadi, agime hano, hedama: ne fodole nasu, molobe, amola ‘alamode’ fage.
And their father Israel said to them, If it is then so, do this: take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a gift: a little balsam and a little honey, tragacanth and ladanum, pistacia-nuts and almonds.
12 Amola muni dilia musa: gaguli asi amo adunawane gaguli masa. Bai muni da dilia esa amo ganodini sinidigi dagoi ba: i, amo dilia bu gaguli masa. Amabela: ? Ilia giadofale bu iasu.
And take other money in your hand, and the money that was returned to you in the mouth of your sacks, carry back in your hand: perhaps it is an oversight.
13 Dilia eya lale, hedolo bu masa.
And take your brother, and arise, go again to the man.
14 Gode Bagadedafa da amo Idibidi ouligisu dunu nama asigima: ne hamomu da defea. Amasea, e da Bediamini amola dilia ola eno nama bu imunu. Be na da na mano fisimu galea, defea, na da fisimu.”
And the Almighty God give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother and Benjamin! And I, if I be bereaved of children, am bereaved.
15 Amaiba: le, olalali da hahawane udigili iasu liligi amola muni aduna gala gaguli asili, Bediamini amola Idibidi diasuga doaga: musa: asi. Amoga doaga: loba, ilia da Yousefema asi.
And the men took that gift, and took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and came before Joseph.
16 Yousefe da Bediamini da yolalali amo gilisili misi amo ba: beba: le, ea diasu hawa: hamosu dunu ilia ouligisu dunuma amane sia: i, “Di amo dunu na diasuga oule masa. Esomogoa ilia da na amola gilisi ha: i manu. Amaiba: le, fofoi ohe amo medole legele, gobema.”
And Joseph saw Benjamin with them, and said to the [man] who was over his house, Bring the men into the house, and slaughter cattle, and make ready; for the men shall eat with me at noon.
17 Amo hawa: hamosu dunu da Yousefe ea sia: i defele hamoi. E da Ya: igobe manolali amo Yousefe diasuga oule asi.
And the man did as Joseph had said; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
18 Ilia da amo diasuga oule asili, bagadewane beda: i galu. Ilia amane dawa: i, “Muni ninia esa amo ganodini bu dialebe ba: beba: le, ilia da nini guiguda: oule ahoa. Amasea, ilia da sinidigili, ninima gasawane doagala: le, ninia dougi lale amola nini udigili hawa: hamosu dunu hamomu.”
And the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house, and said, Because of the money that was returned to us in our sacks at the beginning are we brought in, that he may turn against us, and fall upon us and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
19 Amaiba: le, ilia da diasu logo holeiga, hawa: hamosu dunu ilia ouligisu dunuma amane sia: i,
And they came up to the man that was over Joseph's house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,
20 “Ada! Ninia da musa: guiguda: ha: i manu bidi lala misi.
and said, Ah! my lord, we came indeed down at the first to buy food.
21 Be ninia da ninia diasuga buhagimusa: logoga golamusa: oualigi, ninia esa doasiloba, ninia muni musa: dima i, ninia esa amo ganodini dialebe ba: i. Huluane da galu. Amo ninia da dima bu gaguli misi.
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 according to its weight; and we have brought it again in our hand.
22 Ninia da eno muni amola ha: i manu eno bidi lamusa: , gaguli misi. Nowa da amo muni ninia esa ganodini salibala: ? Amo ninia hame dawa:”
And other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.
23 Be ouligibi hawa: hamosu dunu da amane sia: , “Mae dawa: ma! Mae beda: ma! Dilia Gode - Dilia ada ea Gode amo da dilia muni dilia esa ganodini salibala: ? Na da dilia muni lai dagoi.” Amalalu, e da Simiane ilima oule misi.
And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; your money came to me. And he brought Simeon out to them.
24 Hawa: hamosu ouligisu dunu da olalali huluane diasu ganodini oule asi. E da ilia emo dodofema: ne, hano ilima i. E da ilia dougi ilima ha: i manu i.
And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses food.
25 Ilia da Yousefema hahawane ima: ne, ilia iasu liligi momagei. Bai hawa: hamosu dunu amo da ilia da Yousefe amola gilisili ha: i manu, amo ilima olelei dagoi.
And they made ready the gift for Joseph's coming at noon; for they had heard that they should eat bread there.
26 Yousefe da ea diasuga doaga: loba, ilia da hahawane udigili iasu amo diasu ganodini gaguli misini, ema i. Amola ilia da Yousefema osoboga begudui.
When Joseph came home, they brought him the gift that was in their hand, into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
27 E da ilia hou ilima adole ba: i. Amalalu, e amane sia: i, “Dilia ada da: i hamoi dilia nama adoi? E da hahawane esalabala?”
And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well — the old man of whom ye spoke? Is he yet alive?
28 Ilia da bu adole i, “Dia fonoboi hawa: hamosu dunu ninia ada da hahawane esala.” Amalalu, ilia da muguni bugili, ema begudui.
And they said, Thy servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And they bowed, and made obeisance.
29 Yousefe da ea eya Bediamini ba: loba, amane sia: i, “Amo da dilia nama adoi dilia fa: no lalelegei eyala: ? Na gofe! Gode da di hahawane dogolegele fidimu da defea.”
And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother of whom ye spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to thee, my son!
30 Amalalu, Yousefe da hedolowane fisili asi. E da ea dogo ganodini ea eyama bagade asigiba: le, dimusa: dawa: i galu. Ilia da ea dibi ba: sa: besa: le, e da ea sesei amoga asili, dinanu.
And Joseph made haste, for his bowels burned for his brother; and he sought [a place] to weep, and he went into the chamber, and wept there.
31 Fa: no, e da ea odagi dodofelalu amola ea dogo bu denesilalu, e da bu misini, ha: i manu ima: ne sia: i.
And he washed his face, and came out, and controlled himself, and said, Set on bread.
32 Yousefe da fafai afae, amola yolalali da fafai enoga ha: i mai. Idibidi dunu da Hibulu dunu ilima gilisili ha: i manu da gogosiasu liligi, Idibidi dunu da dawa: i galu.
And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
33 Yolalali da fafai amoga fibi ba: i. Ilia da Yousefe ba: le gusuli esafulubi ba: i. Yousefe da sia: beba: le, ilia lalelegei defele olalali, eyalali, dadalele fi. Idibidi ouligisu hina da ilia lalelegei dadalesu dawa: beba: le dadalesu hamoi, amo ba: beba: le, ilia da bagadewane fofogadigili, enoenoma ba: lafui.
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 Hawa: hamosu dunu da Yousefe ea fafai amoga ha: i manu lale, ilima i. Amola Bediamini hisu ilia da ha: i manu biyale gala bagade ema i. Amaiba: le, ilia amola Yousefe, da ha: i bagade mai amola waini hano bagade nanu feloabe ba: i.
And he had portions carried to them from before him. And Benjamin's portion was five times greater than the portions of them all. And they drank, and made merry with him.
