Genesis 42
1 When Jacob found out grain was available in Egypt, he asked his sons, “Why do you keep on looking at each other to do something?
Ya: igobe da gagoma Idibidi dialebe amo nababeba: le, egefelali ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da abuli udigili esalabala?
2 I've heard there's grain in Egypt. Go there and buy some for us so we can stay alive—if not, we're going to die!”
Na da nabi gagoma Idibidi sogega diala. Ninia da ha: iba: le bogosa: besa: le, amoga lala masa.”
3 So ten of Joseph's brothers went to Egypt to buy grain.
Amaiba: le, Yousefe ea yolalali nabuane gala da Idibidi sogega gagoma bidi lamusa: asi dagoi.
4 But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his other brothers, for he said, “I'm afraid something bad might happen to him.”
Be e da se nabasa: besa: le, Ya: igobe da Yousefe eya Bediamini amo hame asunasi.
5 So Israel's sons went to buy grain along with everyone else, because there was famine in Canaan too.
Ga: ina: ne soge da ha: i bagadeba: le, Ya: igobe egefelali da eno dunu gilisili, gagoma ha: i manu bidi lama: ne misi.
6 Joseph was the governor of the country and he sold grain to all the people there. So Joseph's brothers went to him, and bowed low before him with their faces to the ground.
Yousefe, Idibidi ouligisu hina dunu, da osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane ilima gagoma bidi lalu. Amaiba: le, Yousefe yolalali da ema misini, ilia odagi osoboa digimusa: begudui.
7 Joseph recognized them as soon as he saw them, but he acted like a stranger towards them and spoke to them in a severe way, saying, “Where are you from?” “From the country of Canaan,” they replied. “We've come to buy food.”
Yousefe da ea yolalali ba: beba: le, ili dawa: i galu. Be e da ogogole, e da ili hame dawa: i agoane hamoi. E da gasa fiwane ilima adole ba: i, “Dilia da habidili misibala: ?” Ilia da bu adole i, “Ninia da Ga: ina: ne sogega ha: i manu bidi lamusa: misi.”
8 Even though Joseph recognized his brothers, they didn't recognize him.
Yousefe da ea yolalali dawa: i. Be e da ilia eya amo ilia da hame dawa: i.
9 Joseph thought back to the dreams he'd had about them, and told them, “No! You're spies! You've come to discover our country's weaknesses!”
E da ilima musa: simasia ba: su amo bu dawa: i. E ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da desega ahoasu dunu. Dilia da Idibidi soge amo ninia habidili gasa hame gala amo ba: la misi.”
10 “That's not true, my lord!” they responded. “We, your servants, have just come to buy food.
Be ilia bu adole i, “Hame mabu, hina! Ninia da dia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu defele, ha: i manu bidi lamusa: misi.
11 We're all the sons of one man and we're honest. We're not spies!”
Ninia huluane da olalali esala. Ninia da desega ahoasu dunu hame. Ninia huluane da moloi dunu.”
12 “No! You've come to find our country's weaknesses!” he insisted.
Yousefe bu adole i, “Hame mabu! Dilia da ninia soge amo ea gasa hame hou ba: la misi dagoi.”
13 “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man living in the country of Canaan,” they explained. “The youngest is right now with our father, and one has passed away.”
Ilia bu amane sia: i, “Ninia da olalali fagoyale galu. Ninia da dunu afae Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini amo ea manolali gala. Be eya afae da bogoi, amola ufi dunu mano da ninia eda amola esala.”
14 “As I said before, you're spies!” Joseph declared.
Yousefe da bu adole i, “Na sia: i defele dilia da desega ahoasu dunu.
15 “This is how your story will be checked. I swear on Pharaoh's life that you'll never leave this country unless your younger brother comes here.
Na dilima adoba: su hou hamomu. Felou ea dioba: le, na da agoane sia: sa. Dilia fa: no lalelegei eya da guiguda: hame manoba, dilia da guiguda: hamedafa yolesimu.
16 One of you go back and bring your other brother here. The others of you will be kept here in prison until it's clear that you're telling the truth. If not, then I swear on Pharaoh's life it proves you're spies!”
Dilia fi dunu afae e lala masa: ma! Dilia eno huluane da guiguda: se iasu diasu ganodini esalumu. Dilia sia: da dafawane o dafawane hame, amo ninia ba: mu.”
17 So Joseph put all of them in prison for three days.
Amalalu, e da ili se iasu diasu ganodini sali. Amoga ilia eso udiana esalu.
18 On the third day he told them, “Since I'm someone who respects God, do as I tell you and you'll live.
Eso udiana amoga Yousefe da ilima amane sia: i, “Na da Godema beda: i dunu. Dilia liligi afadafa hamosea fawane, na da dili hame fane legemu.
19 If you're truly honest, choose one of your brothers to stay here in prison. The rest of you can go back home with grain for your hungry families.
Dilia sia: da dafawane olelema: ne, dunu afae fawane da se iasu diasu ganodini esalumu. Dilia eno da dilia ha: i bagade fi ilima ha: i manu dilia lai gaguli masa.
20 But you must bring your youngest brother here to me to prove what you're saying is true. If not, you will all die.” They agreed to do this.
Amasea, dilia fa: no lalelegei eya amo guiguda: oule misa. Amasea, dilia da hame ogogoi, na da dawa: mu amola na da dili hame fane legemu.” Amo da defea ilia sia: i dagoi.
21 “Clearly we're being punished for what we did to our brother,” they said to each other. “We watched him in agony pleading with us for mercy, but we refused to listen to him. That's why we're in all this trouble.”
Ilia gilisili sia: dasu, “Dafawane! Wali ninia se nabasu da dabe agoane ninia eya ema wadela: le hamoiba: le lasa. E da ninima e fidima: ne se nabawane edegei, be ninia da hame nabi. Amaiba: le, ninia wali dabe agoane se naba.”
22 Reuben said to them, “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't harm the boy!’ But you didn't listen to me. Now we're paying the price for what we did to him.”
Liubene da amane sia: i, “Na da goi maedafa wadela: ma: ne sia: i; be dilia da hame nabi. Wali ea bogoi amoga ninia da dabe laha.”
23 They didn't realize that Joseph understood what they were saying because they were talking to him through an interpreter.
Yousefe da ilia sia: huluane dawa: i. Be amo hou ilia da hame dawa: i. Ilia da ema sia: noba, sia: adole iasu dunu, amoga fawane sia: su.
24 Joseph stepped away from them because he started crying. He came back when he was able to speak to them again. He chose Simeon and had him tied up as they watched.
Yousefe da ili yolesili, disu. Amalalu, e da ilima bu misini, ilima sia: dasu. Ea sia: beba: le, ea dadi gagui da Simiane lale, ilia huluane ba: ma: ne lala: gi dagoi.
25 Joseph gave the order to fill up their sacks with grain, and also to return the money they had paid by placing it in the sacks as well. He also ordered that they should be provided with food for their journey home. All this was done.
Yousefe da sia: beba: le, ea hawa: hamosu dunu da ilia esa amo gagoma amoga nabalesi. Ilia da Yousefe yolalali ilia esa afae afae amo ganodini, silifa muni ilia musa: i, amo sali. Amola ilia da ha: i manu ilia logoga ahoasea moma: ne, ilima i.
26 The brothers loaded the grain onto their donkeys and then set off.
Amalalu, Yousefe yolalali da ilia gagoma lai, amo ilia dougi baligiga ligisili, yolesili asi.
27 On their way they stopped for the night, and one of them opened up his sack to give his donkey something to eat and saw his money there at the top of the sack.
Asili, ilia da sogebi amo golamusa: ouesalu, dunu afae da ea dougi amo ha: i manu imunusa: ea esa doasilaloba, ea muni amo gagoma gadodili ligisi dialebe ba: i.
28 He told his brothers, “My money's been returned to me. It's right here at the top of my sack!” They were horrified! Trembling with fear they asked each other, “What is this that God's done to us?”
E da yolalalima amane sia: i, “Na muni ilia da nama bu i. Amo da na esa ganodini dialebe ba: sa.” Ilia bagade beda: i galu. Ilia da gilisili amane sia: dasu, “Gode da anima adi hamobela: ?”
29 When they arrived home in Canaan, they told their father Jacob everything that had happened.
Ilia da eda Ya: igobema doaga: loba, ilia da hou huluane ilima misi amo huluane ema amane adoi,
30 “The man who is the country's governor spoke to us in a severe way, and accused us of spying on the land,” they explained.
“Idibidi ouligisu hina dunu da ninima gasa bagade ougiwane sia: i. E da nini ea soge wadela: musa: , desega ahoanebe sia: i.
31 “We told him, ‘We are honest men. We're not spies!
Be ninia ema bu adole i, ‘Ninia da desega ahoasu dunu hame. Ninia moloidafa dunu.
32 We are twelve brothers, the sons of one father. One has passed away and the youngest is right now with our father in the country of Canaan.’
Ninia da olalali fagoyale galu. Ninia dunu afae amo egefelali gala. Ninia eya da bogoi amola fa: no lalelegei eya da ninia eda amola Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini esala.’
33 Then the man who is the country's governor said to us, ‘This is how I'll find out if you're telling the truth: you are to leave one of your brothers here with me while the rest take grain home for your hungry families.
Amalalu, Idibidi hina da amane sia: i, ‘Dilia da moloidafa dunu o hame, amo ninia da amoga ba: mu. Dunu afadafa da nama ouesalumu. Eno da dilia ha: i bagade fi ilima ha: i manu gaguli masa.
34 Then bring your youngest brother to me. That way I'll know you're not spies but you're telling the truth. I'll release your brother to you, and you can stay in the country and trade.’”
Dia eya fa: no lalelegei, amo nama oule misa. Amasea, dilia da desega ahoasu dunu hame be moloidafa amo na da dawa: mu. Na da dilia ola dilima bu imunu. Amola dilia da guiguda: bidi lasu hamomusa: ouesalumu da defea.”
35 As they emptied their sacks, each one's money bag was there in his sack! When they and their father saw the money bags, they were horrified.
Amalalu, ilia da gagoma esa ganodini sali amo huluane gugudili legeiya, ilia huluane muni ganodini sali dialebe ba: i. Amo ba: beba: le, ilia, amola ilia eda Ya: igobe, da bagade beda: i galu.
36 Jacob their father accused them, “You have taken Joseph from me—he's gone! Simeon is gone too! Now you want to take Benjamin away! I'm the one who's suffering from all of this!”
Ilia eda da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da na mano huluane fisimu, amo dilia da hanabala: ? Yousefe da fisi dagoi. Simiane da fisi dagoi. Wali dilia da Bediamini fadegamusa: dawa: lala. Ni fawane da se naba.”
37 “You can kill my two sons if I don't bring him back to you,” Reuben assured him. “Trust me with him, and I will bring him home to you myself.”
Liubene da ea edama amane sia: i, “Na da Bediamini dima bu hame oule masea, di da na dunu mano aduna fane legemu da defea. Na ouligima: ne, Bediamini nama ima. Na da e bu oule misunu.”
38 “My son won't go there with you!” Jacob declared. “His brother is dead, and he's the only one I have left. If anything bad happens to him on the journey you're planning, you'll send this old man to his grave in grief.” (Sheol h7585)
Be Ya: igobe da amane sia: i, “Na gofe da dili sigi masunu hamedei. Ea ola da bogoi amola hisu da esala. E da logoga se nabasa: besa: le, hamedafa masunu. Na da dunu da: i hamoi dagoi. Di da amo se nabasu nama iasea, na bogomu.” (Sheol h7585)
