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?
Nabalitaan nga ni Jacob na may trigo sa Egipto, at sinabi ni Jacob sa kaniyang mga anak, Bakit kayo nangagtitinginan?
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!”
At kaniyang sinabi, Narito, aking narinig na may trigo sa Egipto: bumaba kayo roon, at bumili kayo roon ng sa ganang atin, upang tayo'y mabuhay at huwag mamatay.
3 So ten of Joseph's brothers went to Egypt to buy grain.
At ang sangpung kapatid ni Jose ay bumaba, na bumili ng trigo sa Egipto.
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.”
Datapuwa't si Benjamin na kapatid ni Jose, ay hindi sinugo ni Jacob na kasama ng kaniyang mga kapatid; sapagka't aniya'y, Baka sakaling may mangyari sa kaniyang anomang kapahamakan.
5 So Israel's sons went to buy grain along with everyone else, because there was famine in Canaan too.
At ang mga anak ni Israel ay nagsiparoong bumili, na kasalamuha ng nagsisiparoon: sapagka't nagkakagutom sa lupain ng Canaan.
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.
At si Jose ang tagapamahala sa lupain; siya ang nagbibili ng trigo sa lahat ng mga tao sa lupain: at nagsidating ang mga kapatid ni Jose at nangagpatirapa sa kaniya, na ang kanilang mga mukha ay pasubasob.
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.”
At nakita ni Jose ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at kaniyang nangakilala, datapuwa't siya'y nagkunwaring iba sa kanila, at sila'y kinausap niya ng magilas; at sinabi sa kanila, Saan kayo nagsipanggaling? At sinabi nila, Sa lupain ng Canaan, upang bumili ng pagkain.
8 Even though Joseph recognized his brothers, they didn't recognize him.
At nakilala ni Jose ang kaniyang mga kapatid, datapuwa't hindi nila siya nakilala.
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!”
At naalaala ni Jose ang mga panaginip na kaniyang napanaginip, tungkol sa kanila, at sa kanila'y sinabi, Kayo'y mga tiktik; upang tingnan ninyo ang kahubaran ng lupain kaya kayo naparito.
10 “That's not true, my lord!” they responded. “We, your servants, have just come to buy food.
At kanilang sinabi sa kaniya, Hindi panginoon ko, kundi ang iyong mga lingkod ay nagsiparito upang bumili ng pagkain.
11 We're all the sons of one man and we're honest. We're not spies!”
Kaming lahat ay anak ng isa lamang lalake; kami ay mga taong tapat, ang iyong mga lingkod ay hindi mga tiktik.
12 “No! You've come to find our country's weaknesses!” he insisted.
At kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Hindi, kungdi upang tingnan ang kahubaran ng lupain kaya kayo naparito.
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.”
At kanilang sinabi, Kaming iyong mga lingkod ay labing dalawang magkakapatid, na mga anak ng isa lamang lalake sa lupain ng Canaan; at, narito, ang bunso ay nasa aming ama ngayon, at ang isa'y wala na.
14 “As I said before, you're spies!” Joseph declared.
At sinabi sa kanila ni Jose, Iyan ang sinasalita ko sa inyo, na aking sinasabi, Kayo'y mga tiktik;
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.
Dito ko kayo susubukin: alangalang sa buhay ni Faraon ay hindi kayo aalis dito, malibang pumarito ang inyong kapatid na bunso.
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!”
Suguin ninyo ang isa sa inyo, na dalhin dito ang inyong kapatid, at kayo'y mangabibilanggo; upang masubok ang inyong mga salita, kung may katotohanan sa inyo: o kung hindi alangalang sa buhay ni Faraon, ay tunay na mga tiktik kayo.
17 So Joseph put all of them in prison for three days.
At kaniyang inilagay silang lahat na magkakasama sa bilangguan na tatlong araw.
18 On the third day he told them, “Since I'm someone who respects God, do as I tell you and you'll live.
At sinabi ni Jose sa kanila sa ikatlong araw, Gawin ninyo ito at mangabuhay kayo; sapagka't natatakot ako sa Dios:
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.
Kung kayo'y mga taong tapat, ay matira ang isa sa inyong magkakapatid na bilanggo sa bahay na pinagbilangguan sa inyo; datapuwa't kayo'y yumaon, magdala kayo ng trigo dahil sa kagutom sa inyong mga bahay:
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.
At dalhin ninyo sa akin ang inyong kapatid na bunso; sa ganito'y matototohanan ang inyong mga salita, at hindi kayo mangamamatay. At kanilang ginawang gayon.
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.”
At sila'y nagsabisabihan, Katotohanang tayo'y salarin tungkol sa ating kapatid, sapagka't nakita natin ang kahapisan ng kaniyang kaluluwa, nang namamanhik sa atin, at hindi natin siya dininig; kaya't dumarating sa atin ang kahapisang ito.
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.”
At si Ruben ay sumagot sa kanila, na nagsasabi, Di ba nagsalita ako sa inyo, na aking sinasabi, Huwag kayong magkasala laban sa bata; at ayaw kayong makinig? kaya naman, narito, ang kaniyang dugo ay nagsasakdal.
23 They didn't realize that Joseph understood what they were saying because they were talking to him through an interpreter.
At hindi nila nalalaman na sila'y pinakikinggan ni Jose; sapagka't may tagapagpaliwanag sa kanila.
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.
At siya'y humiwalay sa kanila, at umiyak; at siya'y bumalik sa kanila, at sila'y kinausap at kinuha sa kanila si Simeon, at siya'y tinalian sa harap ng kanilang mga mata.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y ipinagutos ni Jose na punuin ang kanilang mga bayong ng trigo, at ibalik ang salapi ng bawa't isa sa kanikaniyang bayong, at sila'y bigyan ng mababaon sa daan: at ginawa sa kanilang gayon.
26 The brothers loaded the grain onto their donkeys and then set off.
At kanilang pinasanan ng trigo ang kanilang mga asno, at sila'y yumaon mula roon.
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.
At pagbubukas ng isa ng kaniyang bayong upang bigyan ng pagkain ang kaniyang asno sa tuluyan, ay nakita niya ang kaniyang salapi; at, narito, nasa labi ng kaniyang bayong.
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?”
At sinabi niya sa kaniyang mga kapatid, Ang salapi ko ay nasauli; at, narito, nasa aking bayong: at kumutob ang kanilang puso; at nangagtinginan na nanganginginig, na nagsasabihan, Ano itong ginawa ng Dios sa atin?
29 When they arrived home in Canaan, they told their father Jacob everything that had happened.
At sila'y dumating kay Jacob na kanilang ama sa lupain ng Canaan, at isinaysay nila sa kaniya ang lahat na nangyari sa kanila; na sinasabi:
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.
Ang lalaking panginoon sa lupaing yaon ay kinausap kami na magilas, at inari kaming mga tiktik sa lupain.
31 “We told him, ‘We are honest men. We're not spies!
At aming sinabi sa kaniya, Kami ay mga taong tapat; hindi kami mga tiktik:
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.’
Kami ay labing dalawang magkakapatid, na mga anak ng aming ama; ang isa'y wala na, at ang bunso ay nasa aming ama ngayon sa lupain ng Canaan.
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.
At sinabi sa amin ng lalaking yaon, ng panginoon sa lupain, Dito ko makikilala na kayo'y mga taong tapat: magiwan kayo sa akin ng isa sa inyong magkakapatid, at magsipagdala kayo ng trigo dahil sa kagutom sa inyong mga bahay, at kayo'y yumaon.
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.’”
At dalhin ninyo rito sa akin ang inyong kapatid na bunso: kung gayo'y makikilala ko, na kayo'y hindi mga tiktik, kundi kayo'y mga taong tapat: sa ganito'y isasauli ko sa inyo ang inyong kapatid at kayo'y mangangalakal sa lupain.
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.
At nangyari na pagaalis ng laman ng kanilang mga bayong, na, narito, sa bayong ng bawa't isa ay nakalagay ang balot ng kanikaniyang salapi: at nang makita nila at ng kanilang ama ang kanilang mga balot ng salapi, ay nangatakot.
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!”
At sinabi sa kanila ng kanilang amang si Jacob, Inalis na ninyo sa akin ang aking mga anak: si Jose ay wala, at si Simeon ay wala, at aalisin pa ninyo si Benjamin: lahat ng bagay na ito ay laban sa akin.
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.”
At nagsalita, si Ruben sa kaniyang ama, na sinasabi, Ipapatay mo ang aking dalawang anak kung siya'y hindi ko dalhin sa iyo; ibigay mo sa aking kamay, at siya'y aking ibabalik sa iyo.
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)
At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi yayaon ang aking anak na kasama ninyo; sapagka't ang kaniyang kapatid ay patay na, at siya lamang ang natitira; kung mangyari sa kaniya ang anomang kapahamakan sa daan na inyong paroroonan, ay pabababain nga ninyo ang aking mga uban sa Sheol na may kapanglawan. (Sheol h7585)
