< Genesis 42 >
1 Then Iaakob saw that there was foode in Egypt, and Iaakob said vnto his sonnes, Why gaze ye one vpon an other?
Ary fantatr’ i Jakoba fa nisy vary tany Egypta, dia hoy izy tamin’ ny zananilahy: Nahoana no mifampijery foana ianareo?
2 And he said, Behold, I haue heard that there is foode in Egypt, Get you downe thither, and bie vs foode thence, that we may liue and not die.
Dia hoy koa izy: Indro, efa reko fa misy vary any Egypta; andeha midìna any ianareo, ka mividia ho antsika, mba ho velona isika, fa tsy ho faty.
3 So went Iosephs ten brethren downe to bye corne of the Egyptians.
Dia lasa nidina izy folo lahy rahalahin’ i Josefa mba hividy vary tany Egypta.
4 But Beniamin Iosephs brother woulde not Iaakob send with his brethren: for he saide, Least death should befall him.
Fa Benjamina, rahalahin’ i Josefa, tsy mba nampandehanin’ i Jakoba niaraka tamin’ ny rahalahiny; fa hoy izy: Andrao hisy loza hanjo azy.
5 And the sonnes of Israel came to bye foode among them that came: for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
Dia tonga ny zanak’ Isiraely mba hividy vary niaraka tamin’ izay nankany; fa tratry ny mosary koa ny tany Kanana.
6 Now Ioseph was gouerner of the land, who solde to all the people of the lande: then Iosephs brethren came, and bowed their face to the groud before him.
Ary Josefa no mpanapaka ny tany, sady izy no mpivaro-bary tamin’ ny tompon-tany rehetra; ary tonga ny rahalahin’ i Josefa ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehany.
7 And when Ioseph sawe his brethren, hee knewe them, and made himselfe straunge toward them, and spake to them roughly, and saide vnto them, Whence come yee? Who answered, Out of the land of Canaan, to bye vitaile.
Ary hitan’ i Josefa ny rahalahiny, dia fantany ihany izy, nefa nody olon-kafa taminy izy ka niteny mafy taminy nanao hoe: Avy aiza ianareo? Ary hoy kosa izy: Avy any amin’ ny tany Kanana izahay mba hividy hanina.
8 (Now Ioseph knewe his brethren, but they knew not him.
Ary fantatr’ i Josefa ny rahalahiny, nefa izy ireo kosa tsy mba nahafantatra azy.
9 And Ioseph remembred the dreames, which he dreamed of them) and he sayde vnto them, Ye are spies, and are come to see the weaknesse of the land.
Ary Josefa nahatsiaro ireo nofy nanofisany azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mpisafo ianareo; hizaha ny fangadihadin’ ny tany no nahatongavanareo.
10 But they sayde vnto him, Nay, my lorde, but to bye vitayle thy seruants are come.
Fa hoy izy ireo taminy: Tsia, tompokolahy; fa tonga mba hividy hanina ny mpanomponao.
11 Wee are all one mans sonnes: wee meane truely, and thy seruants are no spies.
Zanaky ny lehilahy iray ihany izahay rehetra; olo-marina izahay, fa tsy mba mpisafo tsy akory ny mpanomponao.
12 But he saide vnto them, Nay, but yee are come to see the weakenes of the land.
Ary hoy izy taminy: Tsia, fa hizaha ny fangadihadin’ ny tany no nahatongavanareo.
13 And they said, We thy seruants are twelue brethren, the sonnes of one man in the lande of Canaan: and beholde, the yongest is this day with our father, and one is not.
Fa hoy izy; Roa ambin’ ny folo mirahalahy ny mpanomponao, zanaky ny lehilahy iray ihany any amin’ ny tany Kanana; ary, indro, ny faralahy dia any amin’ ny rainay ankehitriny, fa ny anankiray tsy ao intsony.
14 Againe Ioseph sayde vnto them, This is it that I spake vnto you, saying, Ye are spies.
Ary hoy Josefa taminy: Ilay voalazako taminareo ihany hoe: Mpisafo ianareo no marina;
15 Hereby ye shall be proued: by the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not goe hence, except your yongest brother come hither.
dia izao àry no hamantarana anareo: Raha velona koa Farao, tsy hiala atỳ ianareo, raha tsy tonga atỳ izany zandrinareo faralahy izany.
16 Send one of you which may fet your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proued, whether there bee trueth in you: or els by the life of Pharaoh ye are but spies.
Iraho ny anankiray aminareo, ary aoka izy haka ny zandrinareo, fa ianareo hafatotra, mba hofantarina ny teninareo, na marina na tsia; fa raha tsy izany, raha velona koa Farao, dia mpisafo tokoa ianareo.
17 So he put them in warde three dayes.
Dia nataony tao an-trano-maizina hateloana izy rehetra.
18 Then Ioseph said vnto them the third day, This do, and liue: for I feare God.
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahatelo dia hoy Josefa taminy: Izao no ataovy, dia ho velona ianareo; fa izaho matahotra an’ Andriamanitra:
19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bounde in your prison house, and goe ye, carie foode for the famine of your houses:
Raha olo-marina ary ianareo, dia aoka ny anankiray aminareo mirahalahy avy no hafatotra ao amin’ ny trano-maizina nitoeranareo; ary mandehana ianareo hitondra vary noho ny mosary any amin’ ny tranonareo;
20 But bring your yonger brother vnto me, that your wordes may be tried, and that ye dye not: and they did so.
ary ny zandrinareo faralahy dia ento mankaty amiko; dia ho hita fa marina ny teninareo, ary tsy hovonoina ianareo. Ary nataony izany.
21 And they said one to another, We haue verily sinned against our brother, in that we sawe the anguish of his soule, when he besought vs, and we would not heare him: therefore is this trouble come vpon vs.
Dia niresaka hoe izy: Efa meloka tokoa isika noho ny amin’ ny rahalahintsika, satria nahita ny fahorian’ ny fanahiny isika, raha nitaraina tamintsika izy, nefa tsy mba nihaino isika; koa izany no nahatongavan’ izao fahoriana izao amintsika.
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Warned I not you, saying, Sinne not against the childe, and ye would not heare? and lo, his blood is now required.
Dia namaly azy Robena ka nanao hoe: Moa tsy niteny taminareo va aho ka nanao hoe: Aza manota amin’ ny zaza? nefa tsy mba nihaino ianareo; koa indro fa adinina ny ràny izao.
23 (And they were not aware that Ioseph vnderstoode them: for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.)
Ary izy ireo tsy mba nahalala fa Josefa nahafantatra ny teniny, satria nisy mpandika teny niresahany taminy.
24 Then he turned from them, and wept, and turned to them againe, and communed with them, and tooke Simeon from among them, and bounde him before their eyes.
Ary Josefa dia nihodina niala teo aminy ka nitomany; ary niverina nankeo aminy indray izy ka niteny taminy, ary dia naka an’ i Simeona teo aminy izy ka namatotra azy teo imasony.
25 So Ioseph commanded that they should fill their sackes with wheate, and put euery mans money againe in his sacke, and giue them vitaile for the iourney: and thus did he vnto them.
Ary Josefa nanome teny hameno vary ny lasakany sady hamerina ny volan’ ny isan-dahy ho ao anatin’ ny lasakany avy ary hanome vatsy azy ho entiny eny an-dalana; dia nanao izany taminy izy.
26 And they layed their vitaile vpon their asses, and departed thence.
Ary natainginy tamin’ ny borikiny ny vary, dia lasa nandeha izy.
27 And as one of them opened his sacke for to giue his asse prouender in the ynne, he espyed his money: for lo, it was in his sackes mouth.
Ary raha nosokafan’ ny anankiray ny lasakany hampihinanany ny borikiny teo amin’ izay handriany, dia hitany ny volany; fa, indro, teo am-bavan’ ny lasakany izany.
28 Then he sayde vnto his brethren, My money is restored: for loe, it is euen in my sacke. And their heart fayled them, and they were astonished, and sayde one to another, What is this, that God hath done vnto vs?
Dia hoy izy tamin’ ireo rahalahiny: Naverina ny volako, ka, indro, eo anatin’ ny lasakako izany; dia ketraka ny fony, ary nifampijery amin-tahotra izy ka niresaka hoe: Inona izao ataon’ Andriamanitra amintsika izao?
29 And they came vnto Iaakob their father vnto the lande of Canaan, and tolde him all that had befallen them, saying,
Ary tonga tany amin’ i Jakoba rainy, tany amin’ ny tany Kanana izy, dia nambarany taminy izay rehetra efa nanjo azy, ka hoy izy:
30 The man, who is Lord of the lande, spake roughly to vs, and put vs in prison as spyes of the countrey.
Mafy ny teny nataon-dralehilahy, tompon’ ny tany, taminay, fa nataony ho mpisafo ny tany izahay.
31 And we sayd vnto him, We are true men, and are no spies.
Ary hoy izahay taminy: Olo-marina izahay, fa tsy mba mpisafo tsy akory;
32 We be twelue brethren, sonnes of our father: one is not, and the yongest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
roa ambin’ ny folo mirahalahy izahay no zanaky ny rainay; tsy ao intsony ny anankiray, ary ny faralahy dia any amin’ ny rainay any amin’ ny tany Kanana ankehitriny.
33 Then the Lord of the countrey sayde vnto vs, Hereby shall I knowe if ye be true men: Leaue one of your brethren with me, and take foode for the famine of your houses and depart,
Dia hoy ralehilahy, tompon’ ny tany, taminay: Izao ary no hahafantarako fa olo-marina ianareo: ny anankiray aminareo mirahalahy avy dia avelao atỳ amiko, ka mitondra vary noho ny mosary any amin’ ny tranonareo, dia mandehana;
34 And bring your yongest brother vnto me, that I may knowe that ye are no spies, but true men: so will I deliuer you your brother, and yee shall occupie in the land.
ary ento mankaty amiko ny zandrinareo faralahy, dia ho fantatro fa tsy mba mpisafo ianareo, fa olo-marina; dia homeko anareo ny rahalahinareo, ka dia hanao varotra eto amin’ ny tany ianareo.
35 And as they emptied their sacks, behold, euery mans bundel of money was in his sacke: and when they and their father sawe the bundels of their money, they were afrayde.
Ary raha nandraraka izay tao anatin’ ny lasakany izy ireo, dia, indro, ny volany am-ponosana samy teo anatin’ ny lasakany avy; ary rehefa nahita ny volany am-ponosana izy sy ny rainy, dia samy raiki-tahotra.
36 Then Iaakob their father said to them, Ye haue robbed me of my children: Ioseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Beniamin: all these things are against me.
Ary hoy Jakoba rainy taminy: Foananareo anaka aho: Josefa tsy eto intsony, Simeona koa tsy eto intsony, ary Benjamina indray halainareo; izaho ihany no ozoin’ izany rehetra izany,
37 Then Reuben answered his father, saying, Slay my two sonnes, if I bring him not to thee againe: deliuer him to mine hand, and I will bring him to thee againe.
Ary Robena niteny tamin’ ny rainy ka nanao hoe: Vonoy ny zanako roa lahy, raha tsy entiko miverina atỳ aminao izy; atolory eto an-tanako izy, dia izaho no hitondra azy mody ho atỳ aminao indray.
38 But he said, My sonne shall not go downe with you: for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if death come vnto him by the way which ye goe, then ye shall bring my gray head with sorow vnto the graue. (Sheol )
Ary hoy Jakoba: Tsy hidina hiaraka aminareo ny zanako; fa maty ny rahalahiny, ary izy irery ihany no sisa, ary raha hisy loza hanjo azy any amin’ ny lalana izay halehanareo, dia hampidininareo any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita amin’ alahelo ny volo fotsiko. (Sheol )
