1 Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini ha: i da bu bagade heda: lebe ba: i.
The famine in Canaan got worse.
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.”
Finally, when Jacob and his family had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, Jacob said to them, “Go back to Egypt and buy some more grain for us!”
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.
But Judah said to him, “The man who sold us the grain warned us sternly, ‘I will not let you see me [SYN] again if you come and your younger brother is not with you.’
4 Be di da ninia eya ninia oule masunu defele ba: sea, ninia da ha: i manu bidi lala masunu.
So, if you will send our younger brother with us, we will go down to Egypt and buy some grain for you.
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 you will not send him, we will not go down there, because that man said to us, ‘I will not let you see me again if your younger brother is not 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: ?”
Jacob asked, “Why did you cause me to have this trouble by telling the man that you had a younger 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: ?”
One of them replied, “The man asked about us and about our family. He said, ‘Is your father still living? Do you have another brother?’ We had to answer his questions. (We could not know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’/How could we know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’)” [RHQ]
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.
Then Judah said to his father Jacob, “Send the boy with me, and we will go immediately, in order that we and you and our children may get grain and not die from hunger.
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 myself will guarantee that he will return. You can require me to do what I am promising [IDM]. If I do not bring him back to you safely, you can say forever that (I am to blame/it was my fault [that he did not return to you)].
10 Be wali, ninia guiguda: sia: dalebe hame ouesalu ganiaba, ninia da Idibidi sogega aduna asili bu misini hamona: noba.”
If we had not (wasted so much time/waited so long), by now we could have gone there and returned two times!”
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 their father Jacob said to them, “If there is no other way, do this: Put in your sacks some of the best things that are grown in this land, and take them down to the man as a gift. Take some balm/perfume and honey and spices and myrrh/ointment, some pistachio 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.
Take twice as much money as you took the previous time, because you must return the silver that someone put in the tops of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake that it was put in your sacks.
13 Dilia eya lale, hedolo bu masa.
Take your younger brother and go back to that 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.”
I will pray that God Almighty will cause that man to act mercifully toward you, so that he will let your other brother, as well as Benjamin, come back here with you. But as for me, if my sons are taken from me, then I will not have my sons!”
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 gifts that Jacob said that they should take, and twice the amount of money that the grain would cost, and they also took Benjamin. They went down quickly to Egypt, and they stood in front of 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.”
When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the man who (was in charge of/supervised) things in his house, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare a meal, because I want them to eat with me at noon.” [And he told him in what order they were to be seated].
17 Amo hawa: hamosu dunu da Yousefe ea sia: i defele hamoi. E da Ya: igobe manolali amo Yousefe diasuga oule asi.
The man did as Joseph said. And he took them to 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.”
But they were afraid because he was taking them to Joseph’s house. They were thinking, “He is taking us here because of the silver that was put in our sacks the first time that we came here. While we are eating, he will have his servants attack us and seize us and cause us to become his slaves, and also take our donkeys.”
19 Amaiba: le, ilia da diasu logo holeiga, hawa: hamosu dunu ilia ouligisu dunuma amane sia: i,
They went with the man who was in charge of things in Joseph’s house. When they arrived at the entrance of the house,
20 “Ada! Ninia da musa: guiguda: ha: i manu bidi lala misi.
one of them said to him, “Please, sir, listen to me. We came down here previously and bought some grain.
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.
But at the place where we stopped for the night as we were returning home, we opened our sacks. We were astonished to see that in the top of each of our sacks was the exact amount of silver that we had paid for the grain! So we have brought it back with us.
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:”
We have also brought more silver with us to buy more grain. We do not know who put the silver 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.
The man replied, [“Relax]! Do not worry about it! I received the silver that you brought. Your God, the God your father worships, must have put it in your sacks.” And then he brought Simeon to them from the prison.
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.
Then he took them into Joseph’s house. He gave them water to wash their feet and gave them food for the donkeys.
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.
He told them that they were going to eat with Joseph at noon. So the men prepared their gifts to give to Joseph when he arrived.
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 presented to him the gifts that they had brought into the house. Then they bowed down to the ground in front of him.
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?”
He asked them if they were (well/in good health), and then he asked, “How is the health of your old father, the one that you told me about? Is he still living?”
28 Ilia da bu adole i, “Dia fonoboi hawa: hamosu dunu ninia ada da hahawane esala.” Amalalu, ilia da muguni bugili, ema begudui.
One of them replied, “Yes, our father, [who is willing to be] your servant, is still alive, and he is well.” Then again they bowed down in front of 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.”
Then he saw his [younger] brother Benjamin, his own mother’s other son. He asked them, “Is this your youngest brother, the one whom you told me about?” After they said “Yes,” he said to Benjamin, “Young man, I pray that God will act kindly toward you.”
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.
Joseph quickly left the room. He realized that he was about to cry because he (was full of emotion about his younger brother/loved his younger brother so much). He went into his private room and cried 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.
Then, after he washed the tears from his face, he came out, and controlling his emotions, he said to the servants, “Serve the food!”
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.
The people of Egypt considered that it was disgraceful for them to eat with Hebrews, so the servants served food to Joseph by himself, and served the other people of Egypt who ate with him by themselves, and they served Joseph’s older brothers and younger brother by themselves.
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.
His brothers were astonished to see that their seats were arranged according to their ages, from the oldest to the youngest!
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 when their portions of food were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as anyone else’s portion! So they ate food and drank wine with Joseph and became very cheerful.
