Genesis 43
1 But the famine prevailed in the land.
Ary mafy ny mosary teo amin’ ny tany.
2 And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again; buy us a little food.
Ary rehefa laniny ny vary izay efa nalainy tany Egypta, dia hoy ny rainy taminy: Mandehana indray, mividia hanina kely ho antsika.
3 And Judas spoke to him, saying, The man, the lord of the country, positively testified to us, saying, You shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.
Ary Joda niteny taminy ka nanao hoe: Efa nilaza mafy taminay ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Tsy hahita ny tavako ianareo, raha tsy hiaraka aminareo ilay rahalahinareo.
4 If, then, you send our brother with us, we will go down, and buy you food;
Raha hampandehaninao hiaraka aminay ny rahalahinay, dia hidina izahay ka hividy hanina ho anao;
5 but if you send not our brother with us, we will not go: for the man spoke to us, saying, You shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.
fa raha tsy hampandehaninao izy, dia tsy hidina izahay; fa hoy ralehilahy taminay: Tsy hahita ny tavako ianareo, raha tsy hiaraka aminareo ilay rahalahinareo.
6 And Israel said, Why did you harm me, inasmuch as you told the man that you had a brother?
Ary hoy Isiraely: Nahoana no dia nampidi-doza tamiko ianareo ka nanambara tamin-dralehilahy fa mbola nanan-drahalahy koa ianareo?
7 And they said, The man closely questioned us about our family also, saying, Does your father yet live, and have you a brother? and we answered him according to this question: did we know that he would say to us, Bring your brother?
Ary hoy izy ireo: Nanadina dia nanadina ny amin’ ny tenanay sy ny mpianakavinay ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Mbola velona ihany va izay rainareo? ary manan-drahalahy hafa koa va ianareo? Dia nambaranay taminy araka izany teny izany; moa nampoizinay akory va izay hanaovany hoe: Ento midìna ny rahalahinareo?
8 And Judas said to his father Israel, Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you, and our store.
Ary hoy Joda tamin’ Isiraely rainy: Ampandehano hiaraka amiko ny zaza, dia hiainga izahay ka handeha, mba ho velona isika ka tsy ho faty, dia izahay sy ianao ary ny zanatsika madinika koa.
9 And I engage for him; at my hand do you require him; if I bring him not to you, and place him before you, I shall be guilty towards you for ever.
Izaho no hiantoka azy; amin’ ny tanako no handraisanao azy; raha tsy ho entiko atỳ aminao ka hatolotro eto anatrehanao izy, dia ho meloka aminao amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainako aho;
10 For if we had not tarried, we should now have returned twice.
fa raha tsy nijanonjanona izahay, dia efa tafaverina fanindroany toy izay.
11 And Israel, their father, said to them, If it be so, do this; take of the fruits of the earth in your vessels, and carry down to the man presents of gum and honey, and frankincense, and stacte, and turpentine, and walnuts.
Ary hoy Isiraely rainy taminy: Raha izany ary no izy, dia izao no ataovy: analao ny vokatra malaza amin’ ny tany ka ataovy ao anatin’ ny fitondran-entanareo, dia ento midìna haterina ho an-dralehilahy, dia balsama kely sy tantely kely, ditin-kazo nekota sy lota sy pistakia ary amygdala;
12 And take double money in your hands, and the money that was returned in your sacks, carry back with you, lest perhaps it is a mistake.
ary mitondra vola toraka ny teo eny an-tananareo; ary ilay vola izay naverina teo am-bavan’ ny lasakanareo dia ento miverina indray; angamba fahadisoana izany.
13 And take your brother; and arise, go down to the man.
Ary ny rahalahinareo ento ihany; dia miainga ka miverena indray ho any amin-dralehilahy;
14 And my God give you favour in the sight of the man, and send away your other brother, and Benjamin, for I accordingly as I have been bereaved, am bereaved.
ary Andriamanitra Tsitoha anie hampahita famindram-po anareo eo anatrehan-dralehilahy, mba hampodiny ny rahalahinareo anankiray sy Benjamina. Ary izaho, raha foanana anaka aho, dia foana anaka ihany.
15 And the men having taken these presents, and the double money, took in their hands also Benjamin; and they rose up and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
Dia nentin’ ireo lehilahy ireo ny zavatra hateriny, ary vola indroa toraka ny teo koa no nentiny teny an-tànany mbamin’ i Benjamina; ary niainga izy, dia nidina tany Egypta ka tonga teo anatrehan’ i Josefa.
16 And Joseph saw them and his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said to the steward of his household, Bring the men into the house, and kill beasts and make ready, for the men are to eat bread with me at noon.
Ary Josefa, raha nahita an’ i Benjamina niaraka taminy, dia nanao tamin’ ny mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony hoe: Ampidiro atsy an-trano ireo lehilahy ireo, dia amonoy zavatra izy ka anaovy nahandro; fa hiara-mihinana amiko izy raha mitataovovonana ny andro.
17 And the man did as Joseph said; and he brought the men into the house of Joseph.
Dia nataon-dralehilahy araka izay nandidian’ i Josefa; ka nampidirin-dralehilahy tao an-tranon’ i Josefa ireo.
18 And the men, when they perceived that they were brought into the house of Joseph, said, We are brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first; even in order to inform against us, and lay it to our charge; to take us for servants, and our asses.
Dia raiki-tahotra ireo lehilahy ireo, satria nampidirina tao an-tranon’ i Josefa, ka hoy izy: Maintsy ilay vola naverina tao anatin’ ny lasakantsika fahiny va no nampidirana antsika, hivarinany amintsika sy hianjerany amintsika! dia halainy ho andevo isika, ary halainy koa ny borikintsika.
19 And having approached the man who was over the house of Joseph, they spoke to him in the porch of the house,
Dia nanatona an-dralehilahy, mpikarakara ny tao an-tranon’ i Josefa, izy ka niteny taminy teo am-baravaran’ ny trano nanao hoe:
20 saying, We pray [you], Sir; we came down at first to buy food.
Mba henoy kely izahay, tompokolahy: nidina hividy hanina tokoa izahay fahiny:
21 And it came to pass, when we came to unlade, and opened our sacks, [there was] also this money of each in his sack; we have now brought back our money by weight in our hands.
ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ izay nandrianay izahay, dia nosokafanay ny lasakanay, ka indreo ny volanay isan-dahy teo am-bavan’ ny lasakanay avy, tonga lanja avokoa ny volanay; ary efa nentinay niverina eto an-tananay izany.
22 And we have brought other money with us to buy food; we know not who put the money into our sacks.
Ary nitondra vola hafa koa eto an-tananay izahay hamidy hanina: tsy fantatray izay nanao ny volanay tao anatin’ ny lasakanay.
23 And he said to them, [God deal] mercifully with you; be not afraid; your God, and the God of your fathers, has given you treasures in your sacks, and I have enough of your good money. And he brought Symeon out to them.
Ary hoy izy: Matokia ianareo, fa aza matahotra; Andriamanitrareo, dia Andriamanitry ny rainareo, no nanome anareo harena tao anatin’ ny lasakanareo; ny volanareo dia efa tonga tatỳ amiko ihany. Dia namoaka an’ i Simeona ho eo aminy izy.
24 And he brought water to wash their feet; and gave provender to their asses.
Ary nampidirin-dralehilahy tao an-tranon’ i Josefa ireo olona ireo ka nomeny rano, dia nanasa tongotra izy, ary ny borikiny nomeny hanina koa.
25 And they prepared their gifts, until Joseph came at noon, for they heard that he was going to dine there.
Dia nandamina ny zavatra hateriny izy mandra-pihavin’ i Josefa rehefa mitataovovonana ny andro; fa efa reny fa eo no hihinanany hanina.
26 And Joseph entered into the house, and they brought him the gifts which they had in their hands, into the house; and they did him reverence with their face to the ground.
Ary rehefa tonga tao an-trano Josefa, dia nampidirin’ izy mirahalahy avy ho ao an-trano mba hatolotra azy ireo zavatra efa nentiny, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehany izy.
27 And he asked them, How are you? and he said to them, Is your father, the old man of whom you spoke, well? Does he yet live?
Ary Josefa nanontany ny toeny ka nanao hoe: Tsara ihany va ny rainareo, ilay lahy antitra nolazainareo? mbola velona ihany va izy?
28 And they said, Your servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And he said, Blessed be that man by God; —and they bowed, and did him reverence.
Dia hoy izy: Tsara ihany ny mpanomponao rainay; mbola velona ihany izy. Dia niondrika izy ireo ka niankohoka.
29 And Joseph lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said, Is this your younger brother, whom you spoke of bringing to me? and he said, God have mercy on you, my son.
Ary Josefa nanopy ny masony ka nahita an’ i Benjamina rahalahiny, zanakalahin’ ny reniny, dia hoy izy: Io va no zandrinareo faralahy, izay nolazainareo tamiko? Sady hoy koa izy: Andriamanitra anie hanisy soa anao, anaka
30 And Joseph was troubled, for his bowels yearned over his brother, and he sought to weep; and he went into his chamber, and wept there.
Dia niala faingana Josefa, fa nangorakoraka ny fony noho ny rahalahiny, ka nitady izay hitomaniany izy; dia niditra tao an-efi-trano izy ka nitomany tao.
31 And he washed his face and came out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
Ary rehefa nanasa ny tavany izy, dia nivoaka; ary nanindry ny fangorakoraky ny fony izy ka nanao hoe: Ento ny nahandro.
32 And they set on [bread] for him alone, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians feasting with him by themselves, for the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for it is an abomination to the Egyptians.
Dia narosony mitokana ny ho an’ i Josefa, ary mitokana ny ho an’ ny rahalahiny, ary mitokana koa ny ho an’ ny Egyptiana izay nihinana teo aminy, satria ny Egyptiana tsy mahazo miara-komana amin’ ny Hebreo, fa fahavetavetana amin’ ny Egyptiana izany.
33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his seniority, and the younger according to his youth; and the men looked with amazement every one at his brother.
Dia nipetraka teo anatrehany izy, ny lahimatoa araka ny fizokiany, ary ny faralahy araka ny fizandriany; dia samy talanjona ka nifampijerijery izy.
34 And they took their portions from him to themselves; but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as the portions of [the others]. And they drank and were filled with drink with him.
Ary samy nitondrana anjara-hanina avy teo anoloan’ i Josefa izy mirahalahy avy; kanefa ny anjara-hanin’ i Benjamina dia indimy toraka ny anjaran-drery tamin’ izy rehetra. Dia niara-nisotro sy nivoky divay teo aminy izy.
