Genesis 42
1 And Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
Ary fantatr’ i Jakoba fa nisy vary tany Egypta, dia hoy izy tamin’ ny zananilahy: Nahoana no mifampijery foana ianareo?
2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down thither and buy [grain] for us from thence, in order that we may live, and not die.
Dia hoy koa izy: Indro, efa reko fa misy vary any Egypta; andeha midìna any ianareo, ka mividia ho antsika, mba ho velona isika, fa tsy ho faty.
3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy [grain] out of Egypt.
Dia lasa nidina izy folo lahy rahalahin’ i Josefa mba hividy vary tany Egypta.
4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest mischief may befall him.
Fa Benjamina, rahalahin’ i Josefa, tsy mba nampandehanin’ i Jakoba niaraka tamin’ ny rahalahiny; fa hoy izy: Andrao hisy loza hanjo azy.
5 So the sons of Israel came to buy [grain] among those that came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Dia tonga ny zanak’ Isiraely mba hividy vary niaraka tamin’ izay nankany; fa tratry ny mosary koa ny tany Kanana.
6 And Joseph, he was the governor over the land — he it was that sold [the corn] to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brethren came and bowed down to him, the face to the earth.
Ary Josefa no mpanapaka ny tany, sady izy no mpivaro-bary tamin’ ny tompon-tany rehetra; ary tonga ny rahalahin’ i Josefa ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehany.
7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and knew them; but he made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to them, and said to them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food.
Ary hitan’ i Josefa ny rahalahiny, dia fantany ihany izy, nefa nody olon-kafa taminy izy ka niteny mafy taminy nanao hoe: Avy aiza ianareo? Ary hoy kosa izy: Avy any amin’ ny tany Kanana izahay mba hividy hanina.
8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they did not know him.
Ary fantatr’ i Josefa ny rahalahiny, nefa izy ireo kosa tsy mba nahafantatra azy.
9 And Joseph remembered the dreams that he had dreamt of them; and he said to them, Ye are spies: to see the exposed places of the land ye are come.
Ary Josefa nahatsiaro ireo nofy nanofisany azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mpisafo ianareo; hizaha ny fangadihadin’ ny tany no nahatongavanareo.
10 And they said to him, No, my lord; but to buy food are thy servants come.
Fa hoy izy ireo taminy: Tsia, tompokolahy; fa tonga mba hividy hanina ny mpanomponao.
11 We are all one man's sons; we are honest: thy servants are not spies.
Zanaky ny lehilahy iray ihany izahay rehetra; olo-marina izahay, fa tsy mba mpisafo tsy akory ny mpanomponao.
12 And he said to them, No; but to see the exposed places of the land are ye come.
Ary hoy izy taminy: Tsia, fa hizaha ny fangadihadin’ ny tany no nahatongavanareo.
13 And they said, Thy servants were twelve brethren, sons of one man, in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
Fa hoy izy; Roa ambin’ ny folo mirahalahy ny mpanomponao, zanaky ny lehilahy iray ihany any amin’ ny tany Kanana; ary, indro, ny faralahy dia any amin’ ny rainay ankehitriny, fa ny anankiray tsy ao intsony.
14 And Joseph said to them, That is it that I have spoken to you, saying, Ye are spies.
Ary hoy Josefa taminy: Ilay voalazako taminareo ihany hoe: Mpisafo ianareo no marina;
15 By this ye shall be put to the proof: as Pharaoh lives, ye shall not go forth hence, unless your youngest brother come hither!
dia izao àry no hamantarana anareo: Raha velona koa Farao, tsy hiala atỳ ianareo, raha tsy tonga atỳ izany zandrinareo faralahy izany.
16 Send one of you, that he may fetch your brother, but ye shall be imprisoned, and your words shall be put to the proof, whether the truth is in you; and if not, as Pharaoh lives, ye are spies.
Iraho ny anankiray aminareo, ary aoka izy haka ny zandrinareo, fa ianareo hafatotra, mba hofantarina ny teninareo, na marina na tsia; fa raha tsy izany, raha velona koa Farao, dia mpisafo tokoa ianareo.
17 And he put them in custody three days.
Dia nataony tao an-trano-maizina hateloana izy rehetra.
18 And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, that ye may live: I fear God.
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahatelo dia hoy Josefa taminy: Izao no ataovy, dia ho velona ianareo; fa izaho matahotra an’ Andriamanitra:
19 If ye are honest, let one of your brethren remain bound in the house of your prison, but go ye, carry grain for the hunger of your households;
Raha olo-marina ary ianareo, dia aoka ny anankiray aminareo mirahalahy avy no hafatotra ao amin’ ny trano-maizina nitoeranareo; ary mandehana ianareo hitondra vary noho ny mosary any amin’ ny tranonareo;
20 and bring your youngest brother to me, in order that your words be verified, and that ye may not die. And they did so.
ary ny zandrinareo faralahy dia ento mankaty amiko; dia ho hita fa marina ny teninareo, ary tsy hovonoina ianareo. Ary nataony izany.
21 Then they said one to another, We are indeed guilty concerning our brother, whose anguish of soul we saw when he besought us, and we did not hearken; therefore this distress is come upon us.
Dia niresaka hoe izy: Efa meloka tokoa isika noho ny amin’ ny rahalahintsika, satria nahita ny fahorian’ ny fanahiny isika, raha nitaraina tamintsika izy, nefa tsy mba nihaino isika; koa izany no nahatongavan’ izao fahoriana izao amintsika.
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the lad? But ye did not hearken; and now behold, his blood also is required.
Dia namaly azy Robena ka nanao hoe: Moa tsy niteny taminareo va aho ka nanao hoe: Aza manota amin’ ny zaza? nefa tsy mba nihaino ianareo; koa indro fa adinina ny ràny izao.
23 And they did not know that Joseph understood, for the interpreter was between them.
Ary izy ireo tsy mba nahalala fa Josefa nahafantatra ny teniny, satria nisy mpandika teny niresahany taminy.
24 And he turned away from them, and wept. And he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes.
Ary Josefa dia nihodina niala teo aminy ka nitomany; ary niverina nankeo aminy indray izy ka niteny taminy, ary dia naka an’ i Simeona teo aminy izy ka namatotra azy teo imasony.
25 And Joseph gave orders to fill their vessels with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way. And thus did they to them.
Ary Josefa nanome teny hameno vary ny lasakany sady hamerina ny volan’ ny isan-dahy ho ao anatin’ ny lasakany avy ary hanome vatsy azy ho entiny eny an-dalana; dia nanao izany taminy izy.
26 And they loaded their asses with their grain, and departed thence.
Ary natainginy tamin’ ny borikiny ny vary, dia lasa nandeha izy.
27 And one of them opened his sack to give his ass food in the inn, and saw his money, and behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
Ary raha nosokafan’ ny anankiray ny lasakany hampihinanany ny borikiny teo amin’ izay handriany, dia hitany ny volany; fa, indro, teo am-bavan’ ny lasakany izany.
28 And he said to his brethren, My money is returned [to me], and behold, it is even in my sack. And their heart failed [them], and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this [that] God has done to us?
Dia hoy izy tamin’ ireo rahalahiny: Naverina ny volako, ka, indro, eo anatin’ ny lasakako izany; dia ketraka ny fony, ary nifampijery amin-tahotra izy ka niresaka hoe: Inona izao ataon’ Andriamanitra amintsika izao?
29 And they came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father, and told him all that had befallen them, saying,
Ary tonga tany amin’ i Jakoba rainy, tany amin’ ny tany Kanana izy, dia nambarany taminy izay rehetra efa nanjo azy, ka hoy izy:
30 The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and treated us as spies of the land.
Mafy ny teny nataon-dralehilahy, tompon’ ny tany, taminay, fa nataony ho mpisafo ny tany izahay.
31 And we said to him, We are honest; we are not spies:
Ary hoy izahay taminy: Olo-marina izahay, fa tsy mba mpisafo tsy akory;
32 we are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
roa ambin’ ny folo mirahalahy izahay no zanaky ny rainay; tsy ao intsony ny anankiray, ary ny faralahy dia any amin’ ny rainay any amin’ ny tany Kanana ankehitriny.
33 And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Hereby shall I know that ye are honest: leave one of your brethren with me, and take [for] the hunger of your households, and go,
Dia hoy ralehilahy, tompon’ ny tany, taminay: Izao ary no hahafantarako fa olo-marina ianareo: ny anankiray aminareo mirahalahy avy dia avelao atỳ amiko, ka mitondra vary noho ny mosary any amin’ ny tranonareo, dia mandehana;
34 and bring your youngest brother to me, and I shall know that ye are not spies, but are honest. Your brother will I give up to you; and ye may trade in the land.
ary ento mankaty amiko ny zandrinareo faralahy, dia ho fantatro fa tsy mba mpisafo ianareo, fa olo-marina; dia homeko anareo ny rahalahinareo, ka dia hanao varotra eto amin’ ny tany ianareo.
35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that behold, every man had his bundle of money in his sack; and they saw their bundles of money, they and their father, and were afraid.
Ary raha nandraraka izay tao anatin’ ny lasakany izy ireo, dia, indro, ny volany am-ponosana samy teo anatin’ ny lasakany avy; ary rehefa nahita ny volany am-ponosana izy sy ny rainy, dia samy raiki-tahotra.
36 And Jacob their father said to them, Ye have bereaved me of children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin! All these things are against me.
Ary hoy Jakoba rainy taminy: Foananareo anaka aho: Josefa tsy eto intsony, Simeona koa tsy eto intsony, ary Benjamina indray halainareo; izaho ihany no ozoin’ izany rehetra izany,
37 And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons if I bring him not back to thee: give him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
Ary Robena niteny tamin’ ny rainy ka nanao hoe: Vonoy ny zanako roa lahy, raha tsy entiko miverina atỳ aminao izy; atolory eto an-tanako izy, dia izaho no hitondra azy mody ho atỳ aminao indray.
38 But he said, My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left; and if mischief should befall him by the way in which ye go, then would ye bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Ary hoy Jakoba: Tsy hidina hiaraka aminareo ny zanako; fa maty ny rahalahiny, ary izy irery ihany no sisa, ary raha hisy loza hanjo azy any amin’ ny lalana izay halehanareo, dia hampidininareo any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita amin’ alahelo ny volo fotsiko. (Sheol h7585)
