Genesis 42
1 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
Kane Jakobo owinjo ni cham yudore e piny Misri, nowacho ne yawuote niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ubet urangoru aranga?”
2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
Nodhi nyime kowachonegi niya, “asewinjo ni nitie cham e piny Misri. Dhiuru kuno kendo ungʼiewnwa cham, mondo mi wabed mangima kendo kech kik negwa.”
3 And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
Eka owete Josef apar nodhi Misri mondo odhi ongʼiew cham.
4 But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
To Jakobo ne ok ooro Benjamin mowadgi Josef hie kodgi nikech noluor ni dipo ka gimoro ohinye.
5 And the sons of Israel came to buy [corn] among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Kuom mano yawuot Jakobo kaachiel gi jo-Kanaan nodhi ngʼiewo cham nikech kech momako pinygi.
6 And Joseph [was] the governor over the land, [and] he [it was] that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him [with] their faces to the earth.
To Josef ma jatend pinyno ema ji moa e pinje duto ne biro rundo kuome. Kuom mano, kane owete Josef ochopo, negikulore ne Josef nyaka e lowo.
7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
Kane Josef oneno owetene, nofwenyogi to nowuondore mondo kik gingʼeye. Kendo nowuoyo kodgi gi gero kopenjogi niya, “Ua kanye?” To negidwoke niya, “Waa e piny Kanaan mondo wabi warund chiemo.”
8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
Kata obedo ni Josef nofwenyo owetene, gin to ne ok gifwenye.
9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye [are] spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
Eka noparo lek mane oleko kuomgi kendo nowachonegi niya, “Un okwach kich! Kendo usebiro mondo une-ane kama pinywa nyapgodo.”
10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
To negidwoke niya, “Ooyo ruodha. Jotichgi obiro mana mondo orund chiemo.
11 We [are] all one man’s sons; we [are] true [men], thy servants are no spies.
Waduto wan yawuot ngʼat achiel. Jotichgi gin joma kare, ma ok okwach kich.”
12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
To Josef nomedo wachonegi niya, “Ooyo! Usebiro mana ni mondo ungʼe kama pinywa nyapgodo.”
13 And they said, Thy servants [are] twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest [is] this day with our father, and one [is] not.
To negiwacho niya, “Ruoth, jotichni ne yawuowi apar gariyo, yawuot ngʼat achiel, wadak e piny Kanaan. Owadwa ma chogo nyo odongʼ gi wuonwa, to achiel to ne olal.”
14 And Joseph said unto them, That [is it] that I spake unto you, saying, Ye [are] spies:
Josef nowachonegi niya, “En mana kaka ne awachonu: Un okwach kich!
15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
Kendo ma e kaka ibiro temu: Akwongʼora e nying Farao ni ok unuwuok ka makmana ka ukelo owadu ma chogo ka.
16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether [there be any] truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye [are] spies.
Oruru achiel kuom oweteu mondo odhi oom owadu; to joma odongʼ ibiro kano e od twech, mondo mi wane anena ka weche ma uwacho gin adier. To ka ok gin adier, to akwongʼora gi nying Farao, ni un okwach kich!”
17 And he put them all together into ward three days.
Kendo noketogi duto e od twech kuom ndalo adek.
18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; [for] I fear God:
Odiechiengʼ mar adek, Josef nowachonegi niya, “Timuru ma mondo mi udagi, nikech aluoro Nyasaye:
19 If ye [be] true [men], let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
Ka un joma kare, weuru achiel kuomu odongʼ ka, to joma odongʼ to odhiyo kendo oter cham ne joodu makoro chandore ka.
20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
To nyaka ukel owadu ma chogo ira, mondo omi angʼe ni uwacho adieri kendo mondo owaduni kik tho.” Kendo negitimo kamano.
21 And they said one to another, We [are] verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
Negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Adier kum ni waseyudo nikech owadwa. Ne waneno ka chunye chandore kane osayowa mondo wares ngimane to ne ok wanyal winje. Ma ema omiyo chandruogni osebironwa.”
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
Reuben nodwokogi niya, “Donge ne akwerou ni kik utimne rawerano marach? To ne ok unyal winja! Koro nyaka chulnwa kuor nikech rembe.”
23 And they knew not that Joseph understood [them; ] for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
To ne ok gingʼeyo ni Josef owinjo gima giwacho nikech Josef noketo ngʼama lokone wach.
24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
Kane Josef owuok irgi, noywak ahinya, bangʼe noduogo irgi mochako wuoyo kodgi. Nokawo Simeon mi otweye e nyimgi ka gineno.
25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
Josef nogolo chik mondo oket cham e ogundegi, odwokne ngʼato ka ngʼato pesane mane obirogo e ogunde, kendo mondo omigi gima ginyalo chamo e wangʼ yo ka gidok. Bangʼ kane osetimonegi ma,
26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
negiketo cham e ngʼe pundegi kendo gidhi.
27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it [was] in his sack’s mouth.
Kamane gibuore gotieno, achiel kuomgi nogonyo gunde mondo omi pundane chiemo, kendo noneno pesane ka otwe e dho ogunde.
28 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, [it is] even in my sack: and their heart failed [them], and they were afraid, saying one to another, What [is] this [that] God hath done unto us?
Nowacho nowetene niya, “Osedwokna pesana, eri go en e dho ogunda.” Chunygi nobwok ma gibedo moluor kagiwacho niya, “Angʼo ma Nyasaye osetimonwa ni?”
29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
Kane gibiro ir Jakobo wuon-gi e piny Kanaan, neginyise duto mane osetimorenegi. Negiwacho niya,
30 The man, [who is] the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
“Ngʼat ma ruodh pinyno nowuoyo kodwa mager kendo nokawowa mana ka okwach kich modhi nono pinygi.
31 And we said unto him, We [are] true [men; ] we are no spies:
To ne wawachone ni, ‘Wan joma kare; ok wan okwach kich.
32 We [be] twelve brethren, sons of our father; one [is] not, and the youngest [is] this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
Ne wan yawuowi apar gariyo, yawuot ngʼat achiel. Achiel kuomwa nolal, kendo ma chogo to odongʼ gi wuonwa e piny Kanaan.’
33 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye [are] true [men; ] leave one of your brethren [here] with me, and take [food for] the famine of your households, and be gone:
“Eka ruodhno nowachonwa ni, ‘Ma e kaka abiro ngʼeyo kata ka un joma kare: Achiel kuomu odongʼ ka kendo joma odongʼ oter chiemo ne joodu makoro chandore ka.
34 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye [are] no spies, but [that] ye [are] true [men: so] will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.
To kelnauru omeru ma chogo mondo mi abed gadiera ni ok un okwach kich to un joma kare. Eka anaduoknu owadu kendo ulok ohala e pinyni.’”
35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man’s bundle of money [was] in his sack: and when [both] they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
Kane gigonyo ogundegi, ngʼato ka ngʼato noyudo ofuku mar pesane e dho gunde! Kane gineno pesago, giduto ne gibuok ahinya kaachiel gi wuon-gi.
36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved [of my children: ] Joseph [is] not, and Simeon [is] not, and ye will take Benjamin [away: ] all these things are against me.
Jakobo wuon-gi nowachonegi niya, “Usemaya nyithinda. Josef onge, kendo Simeon bende onge, kendo koro Benjamin bende udwaro maya. Gik moko duto ok nikare koda!”
37 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
Eka Reuben nowacho ne wuon-gi niya, “Inyalo nego yawuota ka ok aduogoni Benjamin. Weye e lweta kendo abiro duoge.”
38 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
To Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Wuoda ok nyal dhi kuno kodu; owadgi osetho kendo en kende ema odongʼ, ka gimoro marach otimorene e wuodhno, to ubiro miyo atho gi kuyo.” (Sheol h7585)
