1 Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini ha: i da bu bagade heda: lebe ba: i.
The famine was severe 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.”
When they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said to them, “Go again, buy us a little more 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.
Judah spoke to him, saying, “The man solemnly warned us, saying, ‘You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.’
4 Be di da ninia eya ninia oule masunu defele ba: sea, ninia da ha: i manu bidi lala masunu.
If you’ll send our brother with us, we’ll go down and buy you 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 you don’t send him, we won’t go down, for the man said to us, ‘You shall not see my face, unless your brother is 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: ?”
Israel said, “Why did you treat me so badly, telling the man that you had 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: ?”
They said, “The man asked directly concerning ourselves, and concerning our relatives, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?’ We just answered his questions. Is there any way we could 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.
Judah said to Israel, his father, “Send the boy with me, and we’ll get up and go, so that we may live, and not die, both we, and you, and also 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’ll be collateral for him. From my hand will you require him. If I don’t bring him to you, and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever;
10 Be wali, ninia guiguda: sia: dalebe hame ouesalu ganiaba, ninia da Idibidi sogega aduna asili bu misini hamona: noba.”
for if we hadn’t delayed, surely we would have returned a second time by now.”
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.
Their father, Israel, said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Take from the choice fruits of the land in your bags, and carry down a present for the man, a little balm, a little honey, spices and myrrh, 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 double money in your hand, and take back the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was an oversight.
13 Dilia eya lale, hedolo bu masa.
Take your brother also, get up, and return 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.”
May God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved of my children, I 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.
The men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and got up, went down to 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.”
When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Bring the men into the house, and butcher an animal, and prepare; for the men will dine 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.
The man did as Joseph commanded, and the man brought the men 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.”
The men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph’s house; and they said, “Because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time, we’re brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, attack us, and seize us as slaves, along with our donkeys.”
19 Amaiba: le, ilia da diasu logo holeiga, hawa: hamosu dunu ilia ouligisu dunuma amane sia: i,
They came near to the steward of 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, “Oh, my lord, we indeed came down the first time 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.
When we came to the lodging place, we opened our sacks, and behold, each man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight. We have brought it back 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:”
We have brought down other money in our hand to buy food. We don’t 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.
He said, “Peace be to you. Don’t be afraid. Your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks. I received your money.” 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.
The man brought the men into Joseph’s house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet. He gave their donkeys fodder.
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.
They prepared the present for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they 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 present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves down to the earth before 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 of their welfare, and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you 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.
They said, “Your servant, our father, is well. He is still alive.” They bowed down humbly.
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.”
He lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?” He said, “God be gracious to you, 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.
Joseph hurried, for his heart yearned over his brother; and he sought a place to weep. He entered into his room, 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.
He washed his face, and came out. He controlled himself, and said, “Serve the meal.”
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.
They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians don’t eat with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to 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.
They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth, and the men marvelled with one 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.
He sent portions to them from before him, but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. They drank, and were merry with him.
