Mui 43
1 Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini ha: i da bu bagade heda: lebe ba: i.
In the mean time the famine was heavy upon all 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 when they had eaten up all the corn, which they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons: Go again and 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.
Juda answered: The man declared unto us with the attestation of an oath, saying: You shall not see my face, unless you bring your youngest brother with you.
4 Be di da ninia eya ninia oule masunu defele ba: sea, ninia da ha: i manu bidi lala masunu.
If therefore thou wilt send him with us, we will set out together, and will buy necessaries for thee.
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 wilt not, we will not go: for the man, as we have often said, declared unto us, saying: You shall not see my face without your youngest brother.
6 Ya: igobe da amane sia: i, “Dilia abuliba: le nama se bagade iaha. Abuliba: le, dilia da eya eno esala amo ema olelebela: ?”
Israel said to them: You have done this for my misery in that you told him you had also another 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: ?”
But they answered: The man asked us in order concerning our kindred: if our father lived: if we had a brother: and we answered him regularly, according to what he demanded: could we know that he would say: Bring hither your brother with you?
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 Juda said to his father: Send the boy with me, that we may set forward, and may live: lest both we and our children perish.
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 take the boy upon me, require him at my hand: unless I bring him again, and restore him to thee, I will be guilty of sin against thee for ever.
10 Be wali, ninia guiguda: sia: dalebe hame ouesalu ganiaba, ninia da Idibidi sogega aduna asili bu misini hamona: noba.”
If delay had not been made, we had been here again the second time.
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.
Then Israel said to them: If it must needs be so, do what you will: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down presents to the man, a little balm, and honey, and storax, myrrh, turpentine, 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 with you double money, and carry back what you found in your sacks, lest perhaps it was done by mistake.
13 Dilia eya lale, hedolo bu masa.
And take also your brother, and go 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 may my almighty God make him favourable to you; and send back with you your brother, whom he keepeth, and this Benjamin: and as for me I shall be desolate without children.
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.
So the men took the presents, and double money, and Benjamin: and went down into Egypt, and stood 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 when he had seen them, and Benjamin with them, he commanded the steward of his house, saying: Bring in the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast: because they 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.
He did as he was commanded, and brought the men into the 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 they being much afraid, said there one to another: Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we are brought in: that he may bring upon us a false accusation, and by violence make slaves of us and our asses.
19 Amaiba: le, ilia da diasu logo holeiga, hawa: hamosu dunu ilia ouligisu dunuma amane sia: i,
Wherefore going up to the steward of the house, at the door,
20 “Ada! Ninia da musa: guiguda: ha: i manu bidi lala misi.
They said: Sir, we desire thee to hear us: We came down once before 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 when we had bought, and come to the inn, we opened our sacks, and found our money in the mouths of the sacks: which we have now brought again in the same weight.
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 we have brought other money besides, to buy what we want: we cannot tell who put it in our bags.
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.
But he answered: Peace be with you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father hath given you treasure in your sacks. For the money, which you gave me, I have for good. 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 having brought them into the house, he fetched water, and they washed their feet, and he gave provender to their asses.
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.
But they made ready the presents, against Joseph came 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.
Then Joseph came into his house, and they offered him the presents holding them in their hands, and they bowed down with their face to the ground.
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?”
But he, courteously saluting them again, asked them, saying: Is the old man your father in health, of whom you told me? Is he yet living?
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 answered: Thy servant our father is in health, he is yet living. And bowing themselves they made obeisance to him.
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 Joseph lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin his brother, by the same mother, and said: Is this your young brother, of whom you told 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 he made haste because his heart was moved upon his brother, and tears gushed out: and going into his chamber he wept.
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 when he had washed his face, coming out again, he refrained himself, and said: Set bread on the table.
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 when it was set on, for Joseph apart, and for his brethren apart, for the Egyptians also that ate with him, apart, (for it is unlawful for the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews, and they think such a feast profane):
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.
They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his age. And they wondered very much:
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.
Taking the messes which they received of him: and the greater mess came to Benjamin, so that it exceeded by five parts. And they drank, and were merry with him.
