Genesis 43
1 Meanwhile, the famine pressed heavily on all the land.
Sracl in acn Canaan yokyokelik,
2 And having consumed the provisions that they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Return and buy us a little food.”
ac ke sou lal Jacob kangla nufon wheat ma utuku Egypt me ah, Jacob el fahk nu sin tulik mukul natul, “Tal sifilpa folokla ac molema pac kutu mongo ah nasr.”
3 Judah answered: “The man himself declared to us, under the attestation of an oath, saying: ‘You will not see my face, unless you bring your youngest brother with you.’
Ac Judah el fahk nu sel, “Mwet sac fahkma kalem na nu sesr lah kut tia ku in sifilpa utyak nu ye mutal tamulel se lasr inge fin tia wi kut.
4 If therefore you are willing to send him with us, we will travel together, and we will buy necessities for you.
Kom fin lela tamulel se lasr inge in wi kut, na kut ac som moul mongo.
5 But if you are not willing, we will not go. For the man, as we have often said, declared to us, saying: ‘You will not see my face without your youngest brother.’”
A kom fin tia lela, na kut tia som, mweyen mwet sac fahkma nu sesr mu ac fah tiana filfilla kut in utyak ye mutal ma lesr fin tia wi kut.”
6 Israel said to them, “You have done this for my misery, in that you revealed to him that you also had another brother.”
Jacob el fahk, “Efu ku komtal fahkang nu sin mwet sac lah oasr pac tamulel se lomtal, oru arulana upa nu sik?”
7 But they responded: “The man questioned us in order, concerning our family: whether our father lived, if we had a brother. And we answered him respectively, according to what he demanded. How could we know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother with you?’”
Elos fahk, “Mwet sac sikalani na in siyuk kacsr ac ke sou lasr uh. El fahk, ‘Ku papa tomomtal an srakna moul? Ku oasr pac tamulel lomtal saya?’ Kut enenu na in topuk kusen siyuk lal inge. Kut ac etu fuka lah el ac sap kut in us tamulel se lasr inge wi kut?”
8 Likewise, Judah said to his father: “Send the boy with me, so that we may set out and be able to live, lest we and our little ones should die.
Judah el fahk nu sin papa tumal, “Fuhlelma elan wiyu, ac kut ac fah mukuiyak ingena. Na ac fah wangin sesr misa ke masrinsral.
9 I accept the boy; require him at my hand. Unless I lead him back and restore him to you, I will be guilty of a sin against you for all time.
Nga ac wulewot ke moul luk sifacna, lah ma kunuk in fosrngakunul ac karinganul tuh in wangin ma el sis nwe ke na nga folokunulma nu yurum. Fin tia ouinge, lela mwata in oan fuk nwe tok.
10 If a delay had not intervened, by now we would have returned here a second time.”
Kut funu tia kolokin nwe inge, kut lukun som folok pacl luo lac tari.”
11 Therefore, their father Israel said to them: “If it is necessary to do so, then do what you will. Take, in your vessels, from the best fruits of the land, and carry down gifts to the man: a little resin, and honey, and storax ointment, oil of myrrh, turpentine, and almonds.
Ac Jacob el fahk nu selos, “Kwal, fin pa na ‘ngan ma ac orek uh, tal us kutu fokinsak ma wo emeet ke acn sesr uh in pak lomtal an, mwe lung nu sel governor: kutu ono keng, kutu honey, mwe akyu mongo, fiten pistachio ac almond.
12 Also, take with you double the money, and carry back what you found in your sacks, lest perhaps it was done in error.
Utuk mani pac in yohk liki meet ah, mweyen komtal enenu in folokunla mani ma oan in pak lomtal ah. Sahp tafongla se pa ma sac.
13 But also take your brother, and go to the man.
Us tamulel se lomtal inge, sulaklak fahsrot.
14 Then may my Almighty God cause him to be pleased by you. And send your brother, whom he holds, back with you, along with this one, Benjamin. But as for me, without my children, I will be like one who is bereaved.”
Lela God Kulana Elan oru in oasr pakomuta lun mwet sac nu sumtal, elan ma folokunulot Benjamin ac tamulel se ngia nu sumtal. Ac funu nga, tulik nutik uh fin nuna ma ac tuhlac likiyu, na ac fuka oreya.”
15 Therefore, the men took the gifts, and double the money, and Benjamin. And they went down into Egypt, and they stood in the presence of Joseph.
Ouinge tamulel inge eis mwe lung ac mani pacl luo yohk liki meet ah, ac mukuiyak nu Egypt, ac Benjamin el welulos. Ke elos sun acn we, elos utyak na nwe ye mutal Joseph.
16 And when he had seen them and Benjamin together, he instructed the steward of his house, saying: “Lead the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast, because they will be eating with me at midday.”
Ke Joseph el liyalak Benjamin lah el welulos, el fahk nu sin mwet kulansap se su taran ma nukewa lohm sel ah, “Usla mwet inge nu lohm ah. Elos ac wiyu mongo ke infulwen len uh. Tuh uniya soko kosro ah, ac akoela.”
17 He did what he had been ordered to do, and he brought the men into the house.
Mwet kulansap sac oru oana ke sapkin nu sel. El pwanla tamulel inge nu lohm sel Joseph.
18 And there, being terrified, they said one to another: “Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we have been brought in, so that he may unleash a false accusation against us, and by violence subjugate both us and our donkeys into servitude.”
Ke utukla elos nu lohm sac, elos sangeng ac nunku in elos sifacna, “Utuku kut nu inse inge ke sripen mani ma tuh oan in pak lasr ke fahsr se lasr meet ah. Elos ac forma uni kut, eisla donkey natusr uh, ac oru kut in mwet kohs lun leum sac.”
19 For this reason, approaching the steward of the house at his door,
Ouinge ke elos sun acn in utyak nu in lohm ah, elos fahk nu sin mwet kulansap sac,
20 they said: “We beg you, lord, to hear us. We came down once before to buy food.
“Leum se, nunak munas porongekut. Kut tuh tuku pac nu inge meet in moul mongo.
21 And having bought it, when we arrived at the inn, we opened our sacks and found the money in the mouths of the sacks, which we now have carried back in the same amount.
Ke kut folok nu yen sesr, ac tui inkanek lasr in mongla ke fongeni, kut konauk mani lasr ah nufon, oanna oelucng in pak lun kais sie sesr. Pa kut folokonma inge.
22 But we have also brought other silver, so that we may buy those things that are necessary for us. It is not on our conscience who had placed it in our bags.”
Kut oayapa utuk mani saya in tuh sifil moli kutu mongo ah. Kut tiana etu lah su tuh folokonang mani ah nu in pak lasr ah.”
23 But he responded: “Peace be with you. Do not be afraid. Your God, and the God of your father, has given you the treasure in your sacks. As for the money that you gave to me, I held it as a test.” And he led Simeon out to them.
Mwet kulansap sac fahk, “Nimet elya kac. Nimet sangeng. Sahp God lowos, God lun papa tomowos, pa filiya mani an in pak lowos ah. Nga sruokya tari molin ma kowos eis meet ah.” Na el usalu Simeon nu yorolos.
24 And having led them into the house, he brought water, and they washed their feet, and he gave fodder to their donkeys.
Mwet kulansap sac usak tamulel ekasr ah nu in lohm ah. El sang kof nu selos in ohlla nialos, ac el kiteya donkey natulos.
25 But they also prepared the gifts, until Joseph entered at midday. For they had heard that they would eat bread there.
Elos akoela mwe lung lalos ah, in sang nu sel Joseph ke el ac tuku ke infulwen len ah, mweyen fwackyang tari nu selos lah elos ac welul mongo.
26 And so Joseph entered his house, and they offered him the gifts, holding them in their hands. And they reverenced prone on the ground.
Ke Joseph el sun lohm ah, elos us mwe lung lalos uh nu sel, ac pasrla nwe infohk uh ye mutal.
27 But he, gently greeting them again, questioned them, saying: “Is your father, the old man about whom you spoke to me, in good health? Is he still alive?”
El siyuk selos lah elos fuka, na el sifil fahk, “Komtal tuh fahk nu sik ke matuoh lun papa tomomtal ah. El fuka? El srakna moul ac ku na?”
28 And they answered: “Your servant, our father, is safe; he is still alive.” And bowing, they reverenced him.
Elos fahk, “Papa tumasr, mwet kulansap lom, el srakna moul ac el ku na.” Na elos muta liplipi ac pasrla nwe ten ye mutal.
29 Then Joseph, lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin, his brother of the same womb, and he said, “Is this your little brother, about whom you spoke to me?” And again, he said, “May God be compassionate to you, my son.”
Ke Joseph el liyalak Benjamin, ma lel, el fahk, “Ya pa inge tamulel se ma fusr emeet lomtal, ma komtal srumun nu sik ah? Ma nutik, God Elan akinsewowoye kom.”
30 And he hurried out, because his heart had been moved over his brother, and tears gushed out. And going into his chamber, he wept.
Na Joseph el kina tuyak ac som lukelos, mweyen el arulana asroela tulik wial inge, ac apkuran elan tungyak. Ouinge el som nu infukil sel ac tung we.
31 And when he had washed his face, coming out again, he composed himself, and he said, “Set out bread.”
Tukun el twanla mutal el ilme ac liksreni kutong nunak lal, ac sapkin in tari yuyui mongo uh.
32 And when it was set out, separately for Joseph, and separately for his brothers, likewise separately for the Egyptians, who ate at the same time, (for it is unlawful for Egyptians to eat with Hebrews, and they consider feasting in this way to be profane)
Kitakat Joseph ke sie tepu uh, ac tamulel lal ah ke sie pacna tepu. Mwet Egypt ma welulos mongo uh srengla liki mwet inge ac mongo ke sie pacna tepu, ke sripen elos filiya in nunak lalos mu mwet Hebrew uh kupansuwol in welulos mongo.
33 they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his state of life. And they wondered exceedingly,
Tamulel inge muta ke tepu se, forang nu yorol Joseph, tuh na eltal muta tak in na matwa, matu nwe ke fusr. Ke elos akilen ouiyen mutangalos, elos tukeni angetani ac arulana fwefela.
34 taking the portions that they received from him. And the greater portion went to Benjamin, so much so that it exceeded five parts. And they drank and became inebriated along with him.
Mwe mongo uh kitakat nu selos liki tepu lal Joseph, ac kitakat Benjamin pacl limekosr yohk liki mwet wial ah nukewa. Ouinge elos welul Joseph mongo ac nim, nwe ke na elos arulana sruhila.
