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?
Naho nioni’ Iakòbe te e Mitsraime añe ty mahakama, le hoe t’Iakòbe amo ana’eo, Ino ty ifangarefa’ areo?
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.
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 Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy [grain] out of Egypt.
Aa le nizotso mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo ty rahalahi’ Iosefe folo hikalo mahakama añe.
4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest mischief may befall him.
Fe tsy nampindreze’ Iakòbe amo zoke’eo t’i Beniamine zai’ Iosefe fa hoe re, ke ho zoem-boiñe.
5 So the sons of Israel came to buy [grain] among those that came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Aa le nindre amo nañavelo mb’eo hikaloo, o ana’Israeleo, amy te an-tane’ Kanàne ao ka i san-kèrey.
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.
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 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.
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 did not know him.
Toe nirendre’ Iosefe o rahalahi’eo, f’ie tsy naharendreke aze.
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.
Nitiahi’ Iosefe o ninofise’e iareoo, le hoe re am’ iereo, Mpifilo nahareo, nivotrak’ atoy hahaisake ty fihaloa’ o taneo!
10 And they said to him, No, my lord; but to buy food are thy servants come.
Le hoe iereo tama’e, Aiy, ry talèko, ty hikalo mahakama ty nitsatoha’ o mpitoro’oo atoy.
11 We are all one man's sons; we are honest: thy 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, No; but to see the exposed places of the land are ye come.
Hoe re am’ iereo: Aiy, toe nimb’atoy nahareo handrendreke ty fiboridaña’ o taneo!
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.
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, That is it that I have spoken to you, saying, Ye are spies.
Aa hoe t’Iosefe am’ iereo: Ie i vinolako ama’areoy, toe mpisary nahareo.
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!
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, 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.
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 custody three days.
Aa le fonga natonto’e am-balabey ao telo andro.
18 And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, that ye may live: 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 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;
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 youngest brother to me, in order that your words be verified, and that ye may not die. And they did so.
vaho endeso mb’etoa i tsitso’ areoy, hañato o enta’ areoo, le tsy hikoromake. Aa le nanoe’ iereo.
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.
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 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.
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 And they did not know that Joseph understood, for the interpreter was between them.
Namoea’ iareo te nirendre’ Iosefe iaby i hoe zay fa ampañivoa’ iareo ty mpandika.
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.
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 restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way. And thus did they 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 they loaded their asses with their grain, and departed thence.
Nalogologo’ iereo ambone’ o borìke’eo o mahakamao vaho nienga.
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.
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 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?
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 into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father, and told him all that had befallen 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 roughly to us, and treated us 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 honest; 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 this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
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, 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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, 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)
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)
