Chakruok 42
1 Kane Jakobo owinjo ni cham yudore e piny Misri, nowacho ne yawuote niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ubet urangoru aranga?”
Then Iaakob saw that there was foode in Egypt, and Iaakob said vnto his sonnes, Why gaze ye one vpon an other?
2 Nodhi nyime kowachonegi niya, “asewinjo ni nitie cham e piny Misri. Dhiuru kuno kendo ungʼiewnwa cham, mondo mi wabed mangima kendo kech kik negwa.”
And he said, Behold, I haue heard that there is foode in Egypt, Get you downe thither, and bie vs foode thence, that we may liue and not die.
3 Eka owete Josef apar nodhi Misri mondo odhi ongʼiew cham.
So went Iosephs ten brethren downe to bye corne of the Egyptians.
4 To Jakobo ne ok ooro Benjamin mowadgi Josef hie kodgi nikech noluor ni dipo ka gimoro ohinye.
But Beniamin Iosephs brother woulde not Iaakob send with his brethren: for he saide, Least death should befall him.
5 Kuom mano yawuot Jakobo kaachiel gi jo-Kanaan nodhi ngʼiewo cham nikech kech momako pinygi.
And the sonnes of Israel came to bye foode among them that came: for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
6 To Josef ma jatend pinyno ema ji moa e pinje duto ne biro rundo kuome. Kuom mano, kane owete Josef ochopo, negikulore ne Josef nyaka e lowo.
Now Ioseph was gouerner of the land, who solde to all the people of the lande: then Iosephs brethren came, and bowed their face to the groud before him.
7 Kane Josef oneno owetene, nofwenyogi to nowuondore mondo kik gingʼeye. Kendo nowuoyo kodgi gi gero kopenjogi niya, “Ua kanye?” To negidwoke niya, “Waa e piny Kanaan mondo wabi warund chiemo.”
And when Ioseph sawe his brethren, hee knewe them, and made himselfe straunge toward them, and spake to them roughly, and saide vnto them, Whence come yee? Who answered, Out of the land of Canaan, to bye vitaile.
8 Kata obedo ni Josef nofwenyo owetene, gin to ne ok gifwenye.
(Now Ioseph knewe his brethren, but they knew not him.
9 Eka noparo lek mane oleko kuomgi kendo nowachonegi niya, “Un okwach kich! Kendo usebiro mondo une-ane kama pinywa nyapgodo.”
And Ioseph remembred the dreames, which he dreamed of them) and he sayde vnto them, Ye are spies, and are come to see the weaknesse of the land.
10 To negidwoke niya, “Ooyo ruodha. Jotichgi obiro mana mondo orund chiemo.
But they sayde vnto him, Nay, my lorde, but to bye vitayle thy seruants are come.
11 Waduto wan yawuot ngʼat achiel. Jotichgi gin joma kare, ma ok okwach kich.”
Wee are all one mans sonnes: wee meane truely, and thy seruants are no spies.
12 To Josef nomedo wachonegi niya, “Ooyo! Usebiro mana ni mondo ungʼe kama pinywa nyapgodo.”
But he saide vnto them, Nay, but yee are come to see the weakenes of the land.
13 To negiwacho niya, “Ruoth, jotichni ne yawuowi apar gariyo, yawuot ngʼat achiel, wadak e piny Kanaan. Owadwa ma chogo nyo odongʼ gi wuonwa, to achiel to ne olal.”
And they said, We thy seruants are twelue brethren, the sonnes of one man in the lande of Canaan: and beholde, the yongest is this day with our father, and one is not.
14 Josef nowachonegi niya, “En mana kaka ne awachonu: Un okwach kich!
Againe Ioseph sayde vnto them, This is it that I spake vnto you, saying, Ye are spies.
15 Kendo ma e kaka ibiro temu: Akwongʼora e nying Farao ni ok unuwuok ka makmana ka ukelo owadu ma chogo ka.
Hereby ye shall be proued: by the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not goe hence, except your yongest brother come hither.
16 Oruru achiel kuom oweteu mondo odhi oom owadu; to joma odongʼ ibiro kano e od twech, mondo mi wane anena ka weche ma uwacho gin adier. To ka ok gin adier, to akwongʼora gi nying Farao, ni un okwach kich!”
Send one of you which may fet your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proued, whether there bee trueth in you: or els by the life of Pharaoh ye are but spies.
17 Kendo noketogi duto e od twech kuom ndalo adek.
So he put them in warde three dayes.
18 Odiechiengʼ mar adek, Josef nowachonegi niya, “Timuru ma mondo mi udagi, nikech aluoro Nyasaye:
Then Ioseph said vnto them the third day, This do, and liue: for I feare God.
19 Ka un joma kare, weuru achiel kuomu odongʼ ka, to joma odongʼ to odhiyo kendo oter cham ne joodu makoro chandore ka.
If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bounde in your prison house, and goe ye, carie foode for the famine of your houses:
20 To nyaka ukel owadu ma chogo ira, mondo omi angʼe ni uwacho adieri kendo mondo owaduni kik tho.” Kendo negitimo kamano.
But bring your yonger brother vnto me, that your wordes may be tried, and that ye dye not: and they did so.
21 Negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Adier kum ni waseyudo nikech owadwa. Ne waneno ka chunye chandore kane osayowa mondo wares ngimane to ne ok wanyal winje. Ma ema omiyo chandruogni osebironwa.”
And they said one to another, We haue verily sinned against our brother, in that we sawe the anguish of his soule, when he besought vs, and we would not heare him: therefore is this trouble come vpon vs.
22 Reuben nodwokogi niya, “Donge ne akwerou ni kik utimne rawerano marach? To ne ok unyal winja! Koro nyaka chulnwa kuor nikech rembe.”
And Reuben answered them, saying, Warned I not you, saying, Sinne not against the childe, and ye would not heare? and lo, his blood is now required.
23 To ne ok gingʼeyo ni Josef owinjo gima giwacho nikech Josef noketo ngʼama lokone wach.
(And they were not aware that Ioseph vnderstoode them: for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.)
24 Kane Josef owuok irgi, noywak ahinya, bangʼe noduogo irgi mochako wuoyo kodgi. Nokawo Simeon mi otweye e nyimgi ka gineno.
Then he turned from them, and wept, and turned to them againe, and communed with them, and tooke Simeon from among them, and bounde him before their eyes.
25 Josef nogolo chik mondo oket cham e ogundegi, odwokne ngʼato ka ngʼato pesane mane obirogo e ogunde, kendo mondo omigi gima ginyalo chamo e wangʼ yo ka gidok. Bangʼ kane osetimonegi ma,
So Ioseph commanded that they should fill their sackes with wheate, and put euery mans money againe in his sacke, and giue them vitaile for the iourney: and thus did he vnto them.
26 negiketo cham e ngʼe pundegi kendo gidhi.
And they layed their vitaile vpon their asses, and departed thence.
27 Kamane gibuore gotieno, achiel kuomgi nogonyo gunde mondo omi pundane chiemo, kendo noneno pesane ka otwe e dho ogunde.
And as one of them opened his sacke for to giue his asse prouender in the ynne, he espyed his money: for lo, it was in his sackes mouth.
28 Nowacho nowetene niya, “Osedwokna pesana, eri go en e dho ogunda.” Chunygi nobwok ma gibedo moluor kagiwacho niya, “Angʼo ma Nyasaye osetimonwa ni?”
Then he sayde vnto his brethren, My money is restored: for loe, it is euen in my sacke. And their heart fayled them, and they were astonished, and sayde one to another, What is this, that God hath done vnto vs?
29 Kane gibiro ir Jakobo wuon-gi e piny Kanaan, neginyise duto mane osetimorenegi. Negiwacho niya,
And they came vnto Iaakob their father vnto the lande of Canaan, and tolde him all that had befallen them, saying,
30 “Ngʼat ma ruodh pinyno nowuoyo kodwa mager kendo nokawowa mana ka okwach kich modhi nono pinygi.
The man, who is Lord of the lande, spake roughly to vs, and put vs in prison as spyes of the countrey.
31 To ne wawachone ni, ‘Wan joma kare; ok wan okwach kich.
And we sayd vnto him, We are true men, and are no spies.
32 Ne wan yawuowi apar gariyo, yawuot ngʼat achiel. Achiel kuomwa nolal, kendo ma chogo to odongʼ gi wuonwa e piny Kanaan.’
We be twelue brethren, sonnes of our father: one is not, and the yongest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
33 “Eka ruodhno nowachonwa ni, ‘Ma e kaka abiro ngʼeyo kata ka un joma kare: Achiel kuomu odongʼ ka kendo joma odongʼ oter chiemo ne joodu makoro chandore ka.
Then the Lord of the countrey sayde vnto vs, Hereby shall I knowe if ye be true men: Leaue one of your brethren with me, and take foode for the famine of your houses and depart,
34 To kelnauru omeru ma chogo mondo mi abed gadiera ni ok un okwach kich to un joma kare. Eka anaduoknu owadu kendo ulok ohala e pinyni.’”
And bring your yongest brother vnto me, that I may knowe that ye are no spies, but true men: so will I deliuer you your brother, and yee shall occupie in the land.
35 Kane gigonyo ogundegi, ngʼato ka ngʼato noyudo ofuku mar pesane e dho gunde! Kane gineno pesago, giduto ne gibuok ahinya kaachiel gi wuon-gi.
And as they emptied their sacks, behold, euery mans bundel of money was in his sacke: and when they and their father sawe the bundels of their money, they were afrayde.
36 Jakobo wuon-gi nowachonegi niya, “Usemaya nyithinda. Josef onge, kendo Simeon bende onge, kendo koro Benjamin bende udwaro maya. Gik moko duto ok nikare koda!”
Then Iaakob their father said to them, Ye haue robbed me of my children: Ioseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Beniamin: all these things are against me.
37 Eka Reuben nowacho ne wuon-gi niya, “Inyalo nego yawuota ka ok aduogoni Benjamin. Weye e lweta kendo abiro duoge.”
Then Reuben answered his father, saying, Slay my two sonnes, if I bring him not to thee againe: deliuer him to mine hand, and I will bring him to thee againe.
38 To Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Wuoda ok nyal dhi kuno kodu; owadgi osetho kendo en kende ema odongʼ, ka gimoro marach otimorene e wuodhno, to ubiro miyo atho gi kuyo.” (Sheol h7585)
But he said, My sonne shall not go downe with you: for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if death come vnto him by the way which ye goe, then ye shall bring my gray head with sorow vnto the graue. (Sheol h7585)
