Genesis 43
1 And the famine was grievous in the land.
Koro kech ne pod ger ahinya e piny.
2 And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again, buy us a little food.
Bangʼ kane gisechamo cham duto mane gia godo Misri, wuon-gi nowachonegi niya, “Doguru mondo udhi ungʼiewnwae chiemo moko.”
3 And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man did positively testify to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you.
To Juda nowachone niya, “Ngʼat cha nosiemowa matek ni, ‘Ok nachak awuo kodu ka ok ubiro gi owadu.’
4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food;
Kinyalo yie mondo Benjamin odhi kodwa, to wabiro dhi mondo wadhi warund cham.
5 but if thou do not send [him], we will not go down, for the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you.
To ka ok iore, to ok wabi dhi, nikech ngʼatno nowachonwa ni, ‘Ok abi chak awuo kodu ka ok ubiro gi owadu.’”
6 And Israel said, Why did ye deal [so] ill with me [as] to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
Israel nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ukelona chandruogni ka unyiso ngʼatno ni un kod owadu moro?”
7 And they said, The man asked very closely after us, and after our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye a brother? And we told him according to the tenor of these words. Could we at all know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
To negidwoke niya, “Ngʼatno nopenjowa ahinya kuomwa wawegi kendo kuom joodwa. Nopenjowa ni, ‘Bende wuonu pod ngima? Bende un gi owadu machielo?’ Ne wadwoke mana gik mane openjowa. Ere kaka dine wangʼe ni obiro wachonwa ni, ‘Dhi ukel owaduno ka’?”
8 And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live, and not die, both we and thou and our little ones.
Eka Juda nowacho ne Israel wuon mare niya, “We wawuogi kendo adhi gi wuowini, mondo omi wan kod in kod nyithindwa kik kech negwa.
9 I will be surety for him: of my hand shalt thou require him; if I bring him not to thee, and set him before thy face, then shall I be guilty toward thee for ever.
An awuon asingora ni abiro rite kendo en e lweta. Ka ok aduoge iri ka, to ikwana kaka jaketho e ndalo duto mag ngimana.
10 For had we not lingered, we should now certainly have returned already twice.
Ka debed ni ok waseketho kinde, dine wasedhi ma waduogo diriyo.”
11 And their father Israel said to them, If it is then so, do this: take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a gift: a little balsam and a little honey, tragacanth and ladanum, pistacia-nuts and almonds.
Eka Israel wuon-gi nowachonegi niya, “Ka en ni nyaka obed kamano, to timuru kama. Keturu gik moko mabeyo mag pinyni e ogundeu kendo utergi ne ngʼatno kaka mich; ma gin yiende moko, gi mor kich gi gik mangʼwe ngʼar gi mane-mane kod oyungu.
12 And take other money in your hand, and the money that was returned to you in the mouth of your sacks, carry back in your hand: perhaps it is an oversight.
Kawuru pesa moromo rundo nyadiriyo, nikech nyaka uduoki pesa mane oket ei ogundeu. Nyalo bedo ni mano nobothnigi.
13 And take your brother, and arise, go again to the man.
Kawuru owadu kendo udhi ir ngʼatno piyo.
14 And the Almighty God give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother and Benjamin! And I, if I be bereaved of children, am bereaved.
Kendo mad Nyasaye Maratego timnu ngʼwono e nyim ngʼatno mondo mi owe owadu kod Benjamin mondo oduog kodu. To an to kochuno ni nyaka abed mokuyo to abiro kuyo.”
15 And the men took that gift, and took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and came before Joseph.
Kuom mano jogo nokawo mich kod pesa moromo rundo nyadiriyo, kod Benjamin bende. Negireto mapiyo nono ka gidhi Misri kendo negidhi ir Josef.
16 And Joseph saw Benjamin with them, and said to the [man] who was over his house, Bring the men into the house, and slaughter cattle, and make ready; for the men shall eat with me at noon.
Kane Josef oneno Benjamin kani kodgi, nowacho ne jarit ode niya, “Kaw jogi iter oda, yangʼnegi chiayo kendo ilosnegi chiemo mondo gichiem koda sa auchiel.”
17 And the man did as Joseph had said; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
Jarit notimo mana kaka Josef nokone kendo notero jogo nyaka e od Josef.
18 And the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house, and said, Because of the money that was returned to us in our sacks at the beginning are we brought in, that he may turn against us, and fall upon us and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
To jogo ne luoro omako kane otergi e od Josef. Negiparo niya, “Osekelwa ka nikech pesa ma wayudo koduok e ogundewa, chiengʼ mane wabiro kae mokwongo. Odwaro ni mondo oichwa kendo olowa mondo mi oketwa wasumbini, bangʼe okaw pundewa.”
19 And they came up to the man that was over Joseph's house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,
Kuom mano negidhi ir jarit od Josef kendo giwuoyo kode e dhoot.
20 and said, Ah! my lord, we came indeed down at the first to buy food.
Negiwachone niya, “Jaduongʼ ne wabiro ka mokwongo ngʼiewo cham.
21 And it came to pass when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and behold, [every] man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money according to its weight; and we have brought it again in our hand.
To kamane wabuoroe gotieno ne wagonyo gundewa kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomwa noyudo pesane mana kaka ne wabiro kodgi e dho ogunde. Kuom mano waseduogogi.
22 And other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.
Bende wasebiro gi pesa moko mondo wangʼiew godo chiemo. Ok wangʼeyo ngʼama noketo pesa e gundewa.”
23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; your money came to me. And he brought Simeon out to them.
Nowacho niya, “Mano ber. Kik uluor. Nyasaye ma Nyasach wuonu, osedwokonu pesau e gundeu; to pesa mane ungʼiewgo cham ira, an godo.” Eka ne okelonegi Simeon.
24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses food.
Jarit notero jogo e od Josef, nomiyogi pi mondo giluokgo tiendgi kendo pundegi bende nomiyo chiemo.
25 And they made ready the gift for Joseph's coming at noon; for they had heard that they should eat bread there.
Negiiko mich mane gibiro godo mondo gi dhi gimi Josef sa auchiel, nikech negisewinjo ni gidhi chiemo kode.
26 When Joseph came home, they brought him the gift that was in their hand, into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
Kane Josef odwogo dala, negimiye mich mane gikelone, kendo negikulore e nyime nyaka e lowo.
27 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well — the old man of whom ye spoke? Is he yet alive?
Josef nopenjogi kaka gidhi eka nowachonegi niya, “Jaduongʼ ma wuonu mane uwachona wach kuome ni nade? Bende pod ongima?”
28 And they said, Thy servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And they bowed, and made obeisance.
Negidwoke niya, “Jatichni ma wuonwa pod ngima kendo odhi maber.” Kendo negikulorene ka gimiyogo duongʼ.
29 And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother of whom ye spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to thee, my son!
Kane orango ma oneno owadgi Benjamin, wuod min-gi hie, nopenjogi niya, “Ma e owadu ma chogo, mane uwachona wachne?” Kendo nomedo wacho niya, “Nyasaye mad gwedhi wuoda.”
30 And Joseph made haste, for his bowels burned for his brother; and he sought [a place] to weep, and he went into the chamber, and wept there.
Ne mirima omake ka oneno Benjamin owadgi. Josef noreto kadhi oko kendo orango kamane onyalo pondoe ka oywak. Nodonjo e kachiende kendo ne oywak kuno.
31 And he washed his face, and came out, and controlled himself, and said, Set on bread.
Bangʼ kane oseluoko wangʼe, noduogo kendo ka otemo oore nowacho niya, “Chiemuru.”
32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Negitokone chiembe kende, owetene kendgi, kendo jo-Misri mane chiemo kode bende nomi chiembgi kendgi, nikech jo-Misri ne ok nyal chiemo gi jo-Hibrania, nimar mano en gima kwero ne jo-Misri.
33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth; and the men marvelled one at another.
Owete Josef nobet e mesa e nyime kaluwore kaka nywolgi nobet, chakre wuowi maduongʼ nyaka wuowi matin kendo e kinde mane gibet kamano chunygi noparore.
34 And he had portions carried to them from before him. And Benjamin's portion was five times greater than the portions of them all. And they drank, and made merry with him.
Kane omigi chiemo koa e mesa mar Josef, chiemb Benjamin ne ngʼeny moloyo mar ngʼato angʼata nyadibich. Kuom mano negichiemo kendo gimetho ka gin thuolo kode.
