Genesis 43

1 The famine continued to be really bad in Canaan,

Ana knafina Kenani mopafina tusi zamagatontoza fore huno vu'ne.

2 so once they had finished the grain they'd brought from Egypt, their father told them, “You have to go back and buy some more grain for us.”

Isipi mopareti'ma mizase'za eri'za e'naza ne'zama nehana hazageno, nezmafa'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Ete mago'ene vuta ne'zana ome mizaseho.

3 But Judah responded, “The man was adamant when he warned us, ‘I won't even see you unless your brother is with you.’

Hianagi Juda'a amanage huno nafa'amofona asami'ne, Ana kva ne'mo'a hankavenentake ke huranteno amanage hu'ne. Tamagra nagna tamimofoma avreta ome sanage'na tamavufina ontamagegosue huno higeta e'none.

4 If you send our brother Benjamin with us then we'll go and buy food for you.

Kagrama naganatima atresankeno'ma tagra'enema esaniana, tagra uramita nezanka'a ome miza huta egahune.

5 But if you won't send him, then we won't go, because the man was very clear, ‘I won't even see you unless your brother is with you.’”

Hianagi kagrama Benzamenima atresnankeno'ma tagra'nema omesniana tagra ovugahune. Na'ankure ana Isipi kva ne'mo'a amanage huno tasami'ne, Tamagna timimofoma avretama omesazana nagri navumo'a ontamagegahie hu'ne.

6 “Why have you made things so bad for me by telling the man you had another brother?” Israel asked.

Anage nehazageno Jekopu'a (Israeli) amanage hu'ne, Tamagra nahigeta ana kva nera magora naganatia mani'ne huta asmi'nageno anankea hu'ne? E'ina'ma hu'naza zamo'a nagrira tusi'a zampi nazeri haviza haze.

7 “The man kept on asking direct questions about us and our family like ‘Is your father still alive?’ and ‘Do you have another brother?’” they replied. “We just answered his questions. How were we to know he'd say, ‘Bring your brother here!’?”

Hianagi zamagra asami'za, Ana kva ne'mo'a ana maka'mota tantahige tantahige huno tagriku'ene, vahetigu'ene, tantahigeno amanage hu'ne, Nermafa'a ofri amne mani'nefi? Hagi magora naganatamimo'a mani'neo? Huno higeta tamagra naganatamimofona avreta eho hani'a nanekea ontahineta kenona'a hu'none.

8 Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy in my care, and we'll leave immediately, so that we can stay alive and not die—and that includes you and us and our children!

Hutazageno Juda'a nafa'amofo Jekopuna amanage huno asmi'ne, Ana ne'mofavre Benzamenina huntegeno nagrane vanigeta, tagrane kagrane mofavre'zagatine tagakura huta ofrita mani'mneno.

9 I promise to take care of him—I'll be personally responsible for bringing him back to you. If I don't, then I will always carry the blame!

Nagrani'a huvempa huanki'na Benzamenina kegava krintegahue, hanki kvama hu'so'e osanugeno'ma hazenkema eri'na ana knazana nagra erigahue. Hagi kagri kavure'ma avre'na omesuna nagra ana knazana erigahue. Nehanugeno ana knazamo'a nagrane mevava hugahie.

10 Now let's go, because if we hadn't hesitated, we could have gone there and come back twice by now.”

Hianagi tagrama avega ontetasina, menina tagra tare zupa vuta ete huta ne'zana eruntesine.

11 “If it has to be, then this is what you'll do,” Israel replied. “Take with you the best our country produces. Pack your bags with gifts for the man—balm, a little honey, spices, myrrh, pistachios, and almonds.

Nezmafa Israeli'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Tamagrama Benzamenima avreta vunaku'ma hanuta amana hiho, mago'a knare'nare zafa rgama mopatifima me'neana kutamifina erinerita mago'a tusa masevene (balm), tumemofo rima'ane, (honey) mananentake masavene, mananentake zafa rine, pistasios zafa ragane, almoni zafa raganena eri'neta vuta ana kva nera musezana ome amiho.

12 Take double the money that was returned to you in your sacks—maybe it was a mistake.

Ana nehuta mago'a zagoa eri aguheta tamazampina e'rineta, zamage kaniza e'ririnegahazanki, kutamifima erarinagetama erita e'naza zagonena erineta vuta ome amiho.

13 Take your brother and go back to the man right away.

Ana nehutma nagna tami'mofona otita ame huta avretma ete ana kva nete viho.

14 May God Almighty make the man treat you kindly so when you come before him he'll release your other brother and send Benjamin back. As for me, if I am to lose all my children, then so be it.”

Hagi nunamu huankino hihamu'ane Anumzamo ana ne'mofo avure asunku huramantesuno'a, mago neramafune, Benzamenikiznia zanatre sanigeke ete egaha'e. Hagi nagrama mofavre ni'amokizmigu'ma nasunku'ma hanuna, nagra nasunku nehu'na manigahue.

15 So they packed the gifts, took double the money, and set off, accompanied by Benjamin. They arrived in Egypt and went to have an audience with Joseph.

Jekopu'a anage hige'za mofavre naga'amo'za ana muse'zana (gift) e'neri'za, mago'ane zagoa eriguhe'za zamazampi e'neri'za, Benzamenina nevre'za oti'za Isipi moparega vu'za ana kva ne' Josefe avure uoti'naze.

16 When Joseph saw Benjamin was with them, he told his household supervisor, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and make a meal, for they are going to eat with me at noon.”

Hagi zamagranema nagana'amo Benzameni ne-egeno Josefe'ma negeno'a noma'afi eri'za ne'a amanage huno hunte'ne, Ama vahera zamavarenka nompi ome nezmantenka, mago afu ome ahenka krenka ne'zana retro huo. Na'ankure zamagra nagrane feru ne'zana negahune.

17 The man did as Joseph ordered and took them to Joseph's house.

Eri'za ne'amo'a agrama ke hiaza huno zamavareno Josefe nompi ome zamante'ne.

18 They were really worried that they were being taken to Joseph's house. “It's because of the money that was put in our sacks the first time we came,” they said to each other. “That's why we're being brought in—so he can accuse us and attack us! He'll make us his slaves and take our donkeys!”

Anama huno Josefe eri'za ne'mo'ma zamavareno nompi vige'za kore nehu'za amanage hu'za hu'naze. Ko'ma kutifima eriri rante'nea zagoreku huno tavre noma'afi tanteankino, tantahinegeno tazerino kazokzo eri'za vahe'a trohu neranteno mika donkitinena avre vagaregahie.

19 So they went and spoke to Joseph's household supervisor at the entrance to the house.

Anage nehu'za Josefe nompi eri'za nete, Josefe no kasante vu'za ome asami'za,

20 “Please excuse us, my lord,” they said. “We came down the first time to buy food,

amanage hu'naze, ra netimoke, tagra ko'ma amare e'tama nezama eme miza senona naga e'none.

21 and when we stopped for the night, we opened our sacks and each of us found our money—the exact amount—at the top of our sacks. So we've brought it back with us.

Hianagi ne'zama miza huteta, kantega umsenaku hunte kutima eriheta huta konana, magoke magokemota ne'zama mizase'nona kante zagotia kutimofo avazare me'negeta keteta ama erita e'none.

22 We've also brought more money to buy food. We've no idea who put our money in our sacks!”

Aza ana zago'a eririranteneo e'i ana vahera onke'none. Antahita keta osu'neta ana zagone ete mago'ane ne'za miza hanune huta eritru huna zagonena erineta e'none.

23 “Everything's fine!” he told them. “Don't worry! Your God, the God of your father, must have given you the treasure hidden in your sacks. I got your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to meet them.

Anage hazageno Josefe eri'za ne'mo'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Knare huta manigahazanki koro osuta akoheta maniho. Tamagri Anumzane, neramafa Anumzamo kutamifina zagoa eriramante'negahie. Nagra zagotmia ko namizage'na eri'noe. Nehuno Simeoni ome avreno eme zami'ne.

24 The steward took them inside Joseph's house, gave them water to wash their feet, and supplied food for their donkeys.

Ana huteno Josefe eri'za ne'mo'a nompi zamavareno eno, tina tagi zamige'za zamaga sese nehazageno, donki zamimofona ne'zana zami'ne.

25 They got their gifts ready for when Joseph would come at noon, because they had found out that they were going to eat there.

Ana nehazage'za Josefe'ma agra noma'afi ferura ne'za negahune hige'za antahi'nagu avega ante'za mani'ne'za musezana (gift) eri antente'naze.

26 When Joseph arrived at the house they gave him the gifts they had brought for him, and bowed low to the ground before him.

Hagi Josefe'ma nontegama ne-ege'za nege'za, musezama eri'za e'naza zana eme nemi'za mopafi zamarena re'za avuga kepri hunte'naze.

27 He asked how they were, and then he asked, “How is your elderly father doing that you spoke of? Is he still alive?”

Anante Josefe'a knare huta mani'nazo huno hu so'e hunezmanteno, anage huno zmantahige'ne, Ko'ma neramafanku'ma ozafa reno mani'ne huta nasmi'nazana, agra menina knare huno mani'nefi? Ofri mani'neo?

28 “Yes, your servant our father is still alive, and is well,” they replied and bowed low in respect.

Hige'za zamagra anage hu'za asmi'naze, Nerafa'a eri'za nekamo'a knare huno ofri mani'ne. Anage hu'za nesami'za agafi kepri hu'za razampi antahimi'naze.

29 Then Joseph looked over at his brother Benjamin, the son of his own mother. “Is this your youngest brother that you told me about?” he asked. “God be gracious to you, my son,” he said.

Ana hunentageno kesga huno nagna'amofo Benzameni, nerera mofavre negeno amanage huno hu'ne, Ama mofavrea neragana e'ma hutama nasmi'naza mofavrefi? Josefe anage nehuno, Anumzamo'a knare huno mofavrenimoka kaza huno asomu hugantegahie hu'ne.

30 Joseph had to run out quickly because he was becoming so emotional at seeing his brother. He looked for a place to cry, and went to his room to weep there.

Josefe'a negna negeno zavi atesia agesa higeno, hantka huno zamatreno zavi ate'sia kumaku hakreno nemasefinka asafi (rum) ufreno zavi ome ate'ne.

31 Then he washed his face, got his emotions under control, and went back out. “Serve the food,” he ordered.

Zaviteteno avugosa sese huteno asu'zana eri rentrako nehuno, megi'a atiramino amanage huno zamasmi'ne, ne'za atinketa namaneno.

32 Joseph was served at a table by himself, and his brothers were served at a separate table. The Egyptians were also served at another table, because Egyptians cannot eat with Hebrews because they find this repulsive.

Josefe ne'zana arure atimi'za, zamagrira arure atinte zamante'za, Isipi naga'mo'za zamagragu ne'zana ne'naze. Na'ankure Isipi vahe'mo'za Hibru vahe'enena magopina bretia onegahaze. Isipi vahe'mo'za Hibru vahe'enema magopi kave ne'zankura zamesra huno zamagotegahie.

33 The brothers had been seated in front of him in order by age, from the firstborn, the oldest, down to the youngest, and they looked at each other in complete surprise.

Hagi pusa mofavrereti agafa huno fore hu'nare, ranteti vuno osite zamazeri rempi huzmantage'za mani'ne'za tusi'a zampi zamano nevazige'za zamagogogu nehu'za ovufi avufi hu'naze.

34 The food was served to them from Joseph's table, and Benjamin received five times as much as anyone else. So they ate and drank plenty with him.

Josefe itareti eri'za vahe'mo'za ne'zana refko hu'za afuhe'i ome ante nezmante'za, Benzameni tafepina 5fu'a vahe'mo'za nega ne'za antente'naze. E'ina hige'za magopi mani'ne'za knare hu'za ne'zane, tine nene'za muse hu'naze.
