Genesis 42
1 And Jacob having seen that there was a sale [of corn] in Egypt, said to his sons, Why are you indolent?
Naho nioni’ Iakòbe te e Mitsraime añe ty mahakama, le hoe t’Iakòbe amo ana’eo, Ino ty ifangarefa’ areo?
2 Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt; go down there, and buy for us a little food, that we may live, and not die.
Inao, hoe re, tsinanoko te aman-tsako ty Mitsraime; akia mizotsoa mb’eo vaho iviliaño ho an-tika, hiveloman-tika fa tsy hivetrake.
3 And the ten brethren of Joseph went down to buy corn out of Egypt.
Aa le nizotso mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo ty rahalahi’ Iosefe folo hikalo mahakama añe.
4 But [Jacob] sent not Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, with his brethren; for he said, Lest, haply, disease befall him.
Fe tsy nampindreze’ Iakòbe amo zoke’eo t’i Beniamine zai’ Iosefe fa hoe re, ke ho zoem-boiñe.
5 And the sons of Israel came to buy with those that came, for the famine was in the land of Chanaan.
Aa le nindre amo nañavelo mb’eo hikaloo, o ana’Israeleo, amy te an-tane’ Kanàne ao ka i san-kèrey.
6 And Joseph was ruler of the land; he sold to all the people of the land. And the brethren of Joseph, having come, did reverence to him, [bowing] with the face to the ground.
Toe nimpifehe i taney t’Iosefe, mpandetak’ amy ze fonga ondati’ i taney. Le nimb’eo o rahalahi’ Iosefeo nibaboke an-tane aolo’e eo.
7 And when Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them, and estranged himself from them, and spoke hard words to them; and said to them, Whence are you come? And they said, Out of the land of Chanaan, to buy food.
Aa naho nahaisake o rahalahi’eo t’Iosefe, le nifohi’e, fe nimintse ho ambahiny am’iereo, vaho nendakendaha’e, Boak’aia v’inahareoo? hoe re. Hoe iereo, Hirik’an-tane Kanàne añe hikalo mahakama.
8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
Toe nirendre’ Iosefe o rahalahi’eo, f’ie tsy naharendreke aze.
9 And Joseph remembered his dream, which he saw; and he said to them, You are spies; to observe the marks of the land are you come.
Nitiahi’ Iosefe o ninofise’e iareoo, le hoe re am’ iereo, Mpifilo nahareo, nivotrak’ atoy hahaisake ty fihaloa’ o taneo!
10 But they said, Nay, Sir, we your servants are come to buy food;
Le hoe iereo tama’e, Aiy, ry talèko, ty hikalo mahakama ty nitsatoha’ o mpitoro’oo atoy.
11 we are all sons of one man; we are peaceful, your servants are not spies.
Songa ana’ t’indaty raike zahay; ondaty vantañe, fa tsy mpisary tane o mpitoro’oo.
12 And he said to them, Nay, but you are come to observe the marks of the land.
Hoe re am’ iereo: Aiy, toe nimb’atoy nahareo handrendreke ty fiboridaña’ o taneo!
13 And they said, We your servants are twelve brethren, in the land of Chanaan; and, behold, the youngest is with our father today, but the other one is not.
Hoe iereo, Mpitoro’o zahay, roahalahy folo-ro’ amby, ana’ t’indaty e Kanàne ao, fe an-drae’ay añe ty tsitso’e vaho tsy eo ty raike.
14 And Joseph said to them, This is it that I spoke to you, saying, you are spies;
Aa hoe t’Iosefe am’ iereo: Ie i vinolako ama’areoy, toe mpisary nahareo.
15 herein shall you be manifested; by the health of Pharao, you shall not depart hence, unless your younger brother come here.
Inao t’ie tsoheko: kanao veloñe t’i Parò, tsy hiavotse atoy nahareo naho tsy pok’ atoy heik’ i tsitso’areoy!
16 Send one of you, and take your brother; and go you to prison, till your words be clear, whether you speak the truth or not; but, if not, by the health of Pharao, verily you are spies.
Ampihitrifo ami’ty raik’ ama’ areo i zai’ areoy le hambenañe an-drohy ao nahareo, hitsohañe ty enta’ areo ke ama’areo ty hato, fa naho tsie, kanao veloñe t’i Parò, le mpipiapia.
17 And he put them in prison three days.
Aa le fonga natonto’e am-balabey ao telo andro.
18 And he said to them on the third day, This do, and you shall live, for I fear God.
Ie amy andro fahateloy, le ty hoe ty nanoa’ Iosefe, Ano zao soa te ho veloñe, amy te mpañeveñ’ aman’ Añahare iraho:
19 If you be peaceful, let one of your brethren be detained in prison; but go you, and carry back the corn you have purchased.
aa naho ondaty vañoñe nahareo, angao an-traño nandrohizañe anahareo atoy ty rahalahi’ areo raike. Le akia, añendeso mahakama ty amy hasalikoañey o keleia’ areoo,
20 And bring your younger brother to me, and your words shall be believed; but, if not, you shall die. And they did so.
vaho endeso mb’etoa i tsitso’ areoy, hañato o enta’ areoo, le tsy hikoromake. Aa le nanoe’ iereo.
21 And each said to his brother, Yes, indeed, for we are in fault concerning our brother, when we disregarded the anguish of his soul, when he implored us, and we listened not to him; and therefore has this affliction come upon us.
Hoe ty vesoveso’ iareo, Inao, toly aman-tika ty nanoen-tika amy rahalahin-tikañey, nionin-tika i halovilovim-piai’ey, ie nitoreo aman-tikañe, ie tsy nete nitsanoñe. Toly ndra hehe ty fangovitañe mifetsak’ aman-tikañe.
22 And Ruben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Hurt not the boy, and you heard me not? and, behold, his blood is required.
Natoi’ i Reòbene ty hoe, Tsy vinolako hao te tsy hanoan-draty i ajalahiy? F’ie tsy nañaoñe vaho hehe te paiaeñe i lio’ey.
23 But they knew not that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.
Namoea’ iareo te nirendre’ Iosefe iaby i hoe zay fa ampañivoa’ iareo ty mpandika.
24 And Joseph turned away from them, and wept; and again he came to them, and spoke to them; and he took Symeon from them, and bound him before their eyes.
Nivìk’ am’iareo hey re nirovetse, naho nibalike le nisaontsy, naho jinobo’e am’ iereo t’i Simone vaho rinohi’e aolom-pihaino’ iareo.
25 And Joseph gave orders to fill their vessels with corn, and to return their money to each into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and it was so done to them.
Nandily t’Iosefe le natsafeñe tsako o goni’ iareoo naho songa nahereñe am’ondatio an-goni’e ao ty drala’e vaho nivatieñe amy liay. Nanoeñe ho a’ iareo izay.
26 And having put the corn on the asses, they departed thence.
Nalogologo’ iereo ambone’ o borìke’eo o mahakamao vaho nienga.
27 And one having opened his sack to give his asses fodder, at the place where they rested, saw also his bundle of money, for it was on the mouth of his sack.
Aa teo ty nanokak’ i goni’ey hivaty i borìke’ey t’ie nitobe, nizoe’e i drala’ey, inge t’ie am-bava’ i goniy eo.
28 And he said to his brethren, My money has been restored to me, and behold this is in my sack. And their heart was wonder-struck, and they were troubled, saying one to another, What is this that God has done to us?
Hoe re amo rahalahi’eo, Nabalik’ amako i dralakoy, ie o an-gonikoo. Ho namoe’ay iereo fa nirevendreveñe, le nifanao ty hoe, Ino ty nanoan’ Añahare aman-tikañe?
29 And they came to their father, Jacob, into the land of Chanaan, and reported to him all that had happened to them, saying,
Ie pok’ aman-drae’e an-tane’ Kanàne añe, le natalily ama’e ze hene nifetsak’ am’iereo, ami’ty hoe,
30 The man, the lord of the land, spoke harsh words to us, and put us in prison as spies of the land.
Nañomey tsipeha anay indatiy, ty talè’ i taney nanisy anay te inao mpijekejeke amy taney.
31 And we said to him, We are men of peace, we are not spies.
Fe hoe ty natoi’ay ama’e, Ondaty mahity zahay fa tsy mpitingañe.
32 We are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is with his father today in the land of Chanaan.
Mpirahalahy folo ro’ amby zahay, foetse raik’ aman-drae’ay; tsy eo ty raike, vaho aman-drae’e an-tane’ Kanàne añe ty tsitso’e henaneo.
33 And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Herein shall I know that you are peaceful; leave one brother here with me, and having taken the corn you have purchased for your family, depart.
Le hoe indatiy, i mpifehe’ i taney ama’aiy, amy hoe zao ty haharendrehako te ondaty vantañe nahareo: angao amako atoy ty raik’ amo rahalahi’ areoo, indeso mahakama ty amo hasalikoañeo o añ’anjomba’ areoo, vaho mañaveloa;
34 And bring to me your younger brother; then I shall know that you are not spies, but that you are men of peace: and I will restore you your brother, and you shall trade in the land.
fe hitrifo mb’atoy i tsitso’ areoy haharendrehako te tsy mpifilo nahareo fa ondaty vañoñe. Ie amy zay, havotsoko ama’areo i rahalahi’oy vaho hikalo an-tane atoy nahareo.
35 And it came to pass as they were emptying their sacks, there was each man's bundle of money in his sack; and they and their father saw their bundles of money, and they were afraid.
Ie sambe nampidoañe ty goni’e, le hehe te amy goni’ey ty kotran-drala’e. Aa naho niisa’ iereo naho i rae’ iareo o kotran-drala’ iareoo, le nangebahebake.
36 And their father Jacob said to them, You have bereaved me. Joseph is not, Symeon is not, and will you take Benjamin? all these things have come upon me.
Le hoe ty nanoa’ Iakòbe rae’ iareo, Toe nampihontoha’ areo ahy o anakoo, tsy eo t’Iosefe, tsy eo t’i Simone vaho te hampisintone’ areo ka t’i Beniamine. Fonga nidoñ’ amako!
37 And Ruben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to you; give him into my hand, and I will bring him back to you.
Aa hoe ty asa’ i Reòbene aman-drae’e, Vonò i ana-dahiko roe rey naho tsy hendeseko mimpoly ama’o atoy. Apoho an-tañako ato le izaho ty hampipoly aze ama’o.
38 But he said, My son shall not go down with you, because his brother is dead, and he only has been left; and [suppose] it shall come to pass that he is afflicted by the way by which you go, then you shall bring down my old age with sorrow to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
Fe hoe re, Tsy hizotso mb’eo i anakoy, mate i rahalahi’ey le ie ty honka’e. Aa ie mizo voiñe amy lia handena’ areoy le hazotso’areo an-kontoke mb’ antsikeokeok’ao o volo-fotikoo. (Sheol h7585)
