< 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?
Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf ama na Yakob rena atahori rafadꞌe oi hambu are sia Masir. De ana ola-olaꞌ no ana nara nae, “Ana nggare! Taꞌo bee de hei endoꞌ onaꞌ nggoa ra taꞌo naa!
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.
Au rena oi hambu nanaat sia Masir. Malole lenaꞌ mi hasa sia naa dei, fo ata afiꞌ mate ndoes.”
3 So went Iosephs ten brethren downe to bye corne of the Egyptians.
De Yusuf aꞌa ka sanahulu nara, raote rae reu hasa nanaat sia Masir.
4 But Beniamin Iosephs brother woulde not Iaakob send with his brethren: for he saide, Least death should befall him.
Te Yakob nda nau mboꞌi Yusuf odꞌi muri na Benyamin fo neu no se sa. Ana duꞌa, “Afiꞌ losa anaꞌ a hambu sususaꞌ fai!”
5 And the sonnes of Israel came to bye foode among them that came: for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
Dadꞌi, huu atahori sia bee-bꞌee rena oi hambu nanaat sia Masir, naa de ara reu hasa sia naa. Fula-fai ndoes o losa rae Kanaꞌan. De Yakob ana nara o reu hasa sia naa boe.
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.
Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf dadꞌi fetor sia Masir. Mete ma atahori rema mia bee-bꞌee hasa are, Yusuf mana seo neu se. Naeni de, leleꞌ aꞌa nara losa, ara reu sendeꞌ lululangga nara fee hadat neu e, losa langga nara dai rae a.
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.
Leleꞌ nita se, ana nahine memaꞌ. Te Yusuf tao ao na onaꞌ atahori Masir, de ara nda rahine e sa. Ana natane se no deres nae, “Hei ia, mia bee ima?” Rataa rae, “Hai mia Kanaꞌan. Hai ima mae hasa nanaat sia ama fetor.”
8 (Now Ioseph knewe his brethren, but they knew not him.
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.
Boe ma Yusuf nasanedꞌa meit na. De ana naꞌatatauꞌ se nae, “Au nda umuhere sa! Neꞌo basa hei ia ra mana maku-maꞌu. Hei ima mae mihine nusa Masir rahasia na, fo mitati mo hai.”
10 But they sayde vnto him, Nay, my lorde, but to bye vitayle thy seruants are come.
Te rataa rae, “Hokoꞌ, amaꞌ! Hai amaꞌ atahori dedenu na. Tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ hai ima mae hasa nanaat.
11 Wee are all one mans sonnes: wee meane truely, and thy seruants are no spies.
Basa hai amaꞌ esa. Hai nda maku-maꞌu sa, amaꞌ! Hai atahori maloleꞌ.”
12 But he saide vnto them, Nay, but yee are come to see the weakenes of the land.
Te Yusuf olaꞌ nahereꞌ nae, “He! Ombo koson! Afiꞌ peko-leleloꞌ au. Memaꞌ hei ia ra, mana maku-maꞌuꞌ. Hei ima mae mihine nusaꞌ ia rahasia nara!”
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.
Ara rahara rae, “Hokoꞌ, amaꞌ! Hai amaꞌ dedenu na. Hai ima mia rae Kanaꞌan. Hai odꞌi-aꞌa atahori sanahulu rua. Basa hai ama esa. Hai odꞌi muri ma leo nahani no hai ama ma, ma esa nese ena.”
14 Againe Ioseph sayde vnto them, This is it that I spake vnto you, saying, Ye are spies.
Yusuf nataa se nae, “Hokoꞌ! Saa fo au olaꞌ faꞌ ra, tebꞌe! Hei ia ra memaꞌ mana maku-maꞌuꞌ.
15 Hereby ye shall be proued: by the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not goe hence, except your yongest brother come hither.
De hei musi fee bukti dei, fo au uhine hei oꞌola ma naa, memaꞌ tebꞌe, do hokoꞌ. Au sumba! Mete ma hei odꞌi muri ma nda nema sia ia sa, hei nda lao hela nusaꞌ ia sa!
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.
Dadꞌi hei tengga atahori sa fo neu nala hei odꞌi muri ma ia nema. Ma hela hei ruma. Au ae ita hei oꞌola ma naa, tebꞌe do hokoꞌ. Mete ma hokoꞌ, hei memaꞌ mana maku-maꞌu.”
17 So he put them in warde three dayes.
Boe ma Yusuf denu tao se bui rala reu fai telu.
18 Then Ioseph said vnto them the third day, This do, and liue: for I feare God.
Fai ka telu na boe, Yusuf neu olaꞌ no se sia bui a nae, “Au ia, umutau neu Lamatualain ma tungga hiihii-nanau Na. Au nau mboꞌi hei, naa fo misodꞌa. Te hambu dalaꞌ esa.
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:
Mete ma hei olaꞌ no matetuꞌ na, hei musi fee bukti neu au dei. Eni dala na taꞌo ia: au tao esa sia bui rala. Rumaꞌ baliꞌ fo mendi nanaat fee ume isi mara. Te ara rahani hei ena.
20 But bring your yonger brother vnto me, that your wordes may be tried, and that ye dye not: and they did so.
Basa naa, mendi odꞌi ma nema, fo dadꞌi bukti hei atahori maloleꞌ. Fo au afiꞌ hukun isa hei.” Rena taꞌo naa, ma raꞌaheiꞌ.
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.
De ara esa olaꞌ no esa rae, “Ia naa hita hambu bala-bꞌaeꞌ mia hita tatao na, fo hita tao neu hita odꞌi na. Hita tita ana doidꞌoso nala seli. Ana noꞌe tulun te, hita nda tao-afiꞌ sa. Naa de, ia naa hita doidꞌoso onaꞌ ia ena.”
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.
Boe ma Ruben fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu se nae, “We, odꞌiꞌ re! Maꞌahulu na, au ai hei ena, fo afiꞌ tao saa-saa neu anaꞌ naa boe, to? Te hei nda tao-afiꞌ neu au oꞌola ngga sa. Naa de, ia naa hita lemba Yusuf raa na ena.”
23 (And they were not aware that Ioseph vnderstoode them: for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.)
Ara ola-olaꞌ taꞌo naa, te nda rahine rae Yusuf nahine sira dedꞌea na sa. Huu, Yusuf ola-olaꞌ no se nendiꞌ dedꞌea Masir, dei fo mana ola-olaꞌ na olaꞌ nisiꞌ dedꞌea Ibrani.
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.
Rena ara ola-olaꞌ taꞌo naa, Yusuf fela hela se, de neu nggae mia mamana feaꞌ. Ana nggae basa dei de, baliꞌ nisiꞌ se. De ana denu ara futu Simeon mia odꞌi-aꞌa nara mata na.
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.
Basa naa ma, Yusuf parenda pagau nara, fo ombo are nisiꞌ aꞌa nara karon nara. Ma tao baliꞌ doi nara risiꞌ karon nara rala. Ana o denu tao fee se lepa-ngges. De pagau nara tao tungga Yusuf parenda na.
26 And they layed their vitaile vpon their asses, and departed thence.
Basa de, Yusuf aꞌa nara rafufuaꞌ karon are ra risiꞌ kaledei ata. De ara lao baliꞌ.
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.
Mia dalaꞌ taladꞌa na, ara hahae. Boe ma, esa sefi karon tali na, fo nae fee keledei na naa. Te nita doi na sia are ata.
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?
Ana nggengger nala seli. Boe ma ana randu aꞌa nara nae, “Awiii! Mete dei! Hita soe ena. Ara tao baliꞌ au doi ngga sia karon rala.” Ara rita taꞌo naa ma, bingun ma ramatau. De ara ola-olaꞌ rae, “Lamatualain tao sa neu hita fai ia?”
29 And they came vnto Iaakob their father vnto the lande of Canaan, and tolde him all that had befallen them, saying,
Basa naa ma, ara lao rakandoo. Losa Kanaꞌan ma, ara dui ama na, basa saa mana dadꞌi neu se.
30 The man, who is Lord of the lande, spake roughly to vs, and put vs in prison as spyes of the countrey.
Rafadꞌe rae, “Amaꞌ e! Fetor Masir a, manaseliꞌ. Oꞌola na nda no hadat sa. Ana napepenggo hai oi, hai mana maku-maꞌu nusaꞌ naa.
31 And we sayd vnto him, We are true men, and are no spies.
Te hai mitaa mae, “Hokoꞌ! Hai olaꞌ no matetuꞌ. Hai ia ra nda mana maku-maꞌu sa.
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.
Hai atahori maloleꞌ. Basa hai, odꞌi-aꞌa atahori sanahulu rua mia amaꞌ esa. Te esa mate ena, ma muriꞌ a leo no hai ama ma sia Kanaꞌan.’
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,
Boe ma, fetor a nae, ‘Au ae sobꞌa, hei ia ra ndos do hokoꞌ! Hei esa musi leo sia ia. Ruma baliꞌ mendi are fee ume isi mara, fo ara afiꞌ mate ndoes.
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.
Basa naa, hei musi mendi odꞌi ma dei. No taꞌo naa, dei fo au bubꞌuluꞌ hei ia ra nda mana maku-maꞌu sa, te memaꞌ hei atahori ndos. Boe ma, au mboꞌi hei torono ma mia bui a. Ma mboꞌi hei, fo sudꞌiꞌ a bee mii, sia nusaꞌ ia.’”
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.
Dꞌui basa ma, ara bonggar karon nara isi na. Aiboiꞌ ma rita doi nara, feꞌe sia karon rala. De Yakob no ana nara ramatau rae mate.
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.
Basa naa ma, Yakob olaꞌ no se nae, “Hei ia ra tao mimopoꞌ ana nggara. Yusuf nese ena. Simeon o nese boe. Ia naa hei mae mendi Benyamin fai, do? Hei ia ra tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ mae tao doidꞌoso au, ma!”
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.
Boe ma Ruben olaꞌ no ama na nae, “Amaꞌ e! Fee Benyamin neu au. Au unea e. Au helu, dei fo au endi baliꞌ e nisiꞌ amaꞌ. Te mete ma hokoꞌ, tao misa ana mone karua nggara.”
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 )
Te Yakob olaꞌ nae, “Hokoꞌ! Hei nda bole mo Benyamin sa. Aꞌa na Yusuf mate ena. Helaꞌ a mesaꞌ ne. Mete ma ana taꞌo esa sia dalaꞌ, naa, hei tao au susa sambe mate.” (Sheol )
