< Genesis 43 >

1 But the famine prevailed in the land.
Hilabihan na kaayo ang kagutom sa yuta.
2 And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again; buy us a little food.
Niabot ang higayon sa dihang ila nang nahurot ug kaon ang mga trigo nga ilang gidala gikan sa Ehipto, miingon kanila ang ilang amahan, “Lakaw pag-usab; pagpalit ug pagkaon alang kanato.”
3 And Judas spoke to him, saying, The man, the lord of the country, positively testified to us, saying, You shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.
Miingon si Juda kaniya, “Ang tawo nagpasidaan pag-ayo kanamo, 'Dili kamo makakita sa akong dagway gawas kung kauban ninyo ang inyong igsoong lalaki.'
4 If, then, you send our brother with us, we will go down, and buy you food;
Kung imong ipauban ang among igsoong lalaki kanamo, molugsong kami ug palitan ka namo ug pagkaon.
5 but if you send not our brother with us, we will not go: for the man spoke to us, saying, You shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.
Apan kung dili mo siya ipauban, dili kami molugsong. Kay miingon kanamo ang tawo, 'Dili kamo makakita sa akong dagway gawas kung inyong kauban ang inyong igsoong lalaki.'”
6 And Israel said, Why did you harm me, inasmuch as you told the man that you had a brother?
Miingon si Israel, “Nganong dili man maayo ang inyong pagtagad kanako pinaagi sa pag-ingon sa tawo nga aduna pa kamoy usa pa ka igsoong lalaki?”
7 And they said, The man closely questioned us about our family also, saying, Does your father yet live, and have you a brother? and we answered him according to this question: did we know that he would say to us, Bring your brother?
Miingon sila, “Nangutana pag-ayo ang tawo mahitungod kanamo ug sa atong pamilya. Miingon siya, 'Buhi pa ba ang inyong amahan? Aduna pa ba kamoy igsoong lalaki?' Gitubag namo siya sumala niini nga mga pangutana. Unsaon man namo pagkasayod nga moingon siya, 'Dad-a palugsong ang inyong igsoong lalaki?”'
8 And Judas said to his father Israel, Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you, and our store.
Miingon si Juda kang Israel nga iyang amahan, “Ipadala uban kanako ang batang lalaki. Motindog kami ug molakaw aron mabuhi kita ug dili mangamatay, kami, ikaw, ug ang among mga kabataan usab.
9 And I engage for him; at my hand do you require him; if I bring him not to you, and place him before you, I shall be guilty toward you for ever.
Magpasalig ako alang kaniya. Manubag ako kanimo. Kung dili ko siya madala balik kanimo ug mapakita siya diha sa imong atubangan, unya ipapas-an kanako ang pagbasol hangtod sa hangtod.
10 For if we had not tarried, we should now have returned twice.
Kay kung wala kita maglangay, sa pagkatinuod lang nakabalik na unta kami karon dinhi sa ikaduhang higayon.”
11 And Israel, their father, said to them, If it be so, do this; take of the fruits of the earth in your vessels, and carry down to the man presents of gum and honey, and frankincense, and stacte, and turpentine, and walnuts.
Ang ilang amahan nga si Israel miingon kanila, “Kung mao kana, himoa kini karon. Pagkuha ug pipila ka pinakamaayong abot sa yuta ug ibutang sa inyong panudlanan. Pagdala palugsong ug gasa ngadto sa tawo: pipila nga lana ug dugos, mga lamas ug mira, mga pistasio nga mani ug mga almendras nga mani.
12 And take double money in your hands, and the money that was returned in your sacks, carry back with you, lest perhaps it is a mistake.
Pagdala ug doble nga salapi ug dad-a pag-usab ang salapi nga gibalik sa sulod sa inyong mga sako. Basin sayop lamang kini.
13 And take your brother; and arise, go down to the man.
Dad-a usab ang inyong igsoong lalaki. Tindog ug lakaw pag-usab ngadto sa tawo.
14 And my God give you favor in the sight of the man, and send away your other brother, and Benjamin, for I accordingly as I have been bereaved, am bereaved.
Hinaot pa nga ang Dios nga Makagagahom maghatag kaninyo ug kaluoy sa atubangan sa tawo, aron iyang buhian ang usa pa ninyo ka igsoong lalaki ug si Benjamin. Kung ako mawad-an sa akong mga anak, mawad-an gayod ako.”
15 And the men having taken these presents, and the double money, took in their hands also Benjamin; and they rose up and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
Gikuha sa mga tawo kini nga mga gasa, ug gidoble nila ang kantidad sa salapi, ug gidala si Benjamin. Migikan sila ug milugsong paingon sa Ehipto ug mibarog atubangan kang Jose.
16 And Joseph saw them and his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said to the steward of his household, Bring the men into the house, and kill beasts and make ready, for the men are to eat bread with me at noon.
Sa dihang nakita ni Jose si Benjamin uban kanila, miingon siya sa piniyalan sa iyang balay, “Dad-a ang mga tawo didto sa balay, pag-ihaw ug hayop ug andama kini, kay ang mga tawo mokaon uban kanako sa paniudto.”
17 And the man did as Joseph said; and he brought the men into the house of Joseph.
Gihimo sa piniyalan kung unsa ang gisulti ni Jose. Iyang gidala ang mga tawo didto sa balay ni Jose.
18 And the men, when they perceived that they were brought into the house of Joseph, said, We are brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first; even in order to inform against us, and lay it to our charge; to take us for servants, and our asses.
Nangahadlok ang mga tawo tungod kay gidala man sila didto sa balay ni Jose. Miingon sila, “Tungod kini sa salapi nga gibalik sa atong mga sako sa unang higayon nga gidala kita dinhi, aron makakita siya ug higayon batok kanato. Basin ug iya kitang dakpon ug kuhaon kita aron mahimong ulipon, ug kuhaon ang atong mga asno.”
19 And having approached the man who was over the house of Joseph, they spoke to him in the porch of the house,
Miduol sila sa piniyalan sa balay ni Jose, ug nakigsulti sila kaniya diha sa pultahan sa balay,
20 saying, We pray [you], Sir; we came down at first to buy food.
nga naga-ingon, “Among agalon, milugsong kami dinhi sa unang higayon aron mopalit ug pagkaon.
21 And it came to pass, when we came to unlade, and opened our sacks, [there was] also this money of each in his sack; we have now brought back our money by weight in our hands.
Ug nahitabo kini, nga sa dihang nahiabot kami sa dapit nga among gipahulayan, nga among giablihan ang among mga sako, ug, tan-awa, ang matag salapi sa tawo anaa sa sulod sa iyang sako, ang among salapi anaa sa sakto nga kantidad. Gidala namo kini pagbalik.
22 And we have brought other money with us to buy food; we know not who put the money into our sacks.
Nagdala na usab kami palugsong ug dugang nga salapi aron pagpalit ug pagkaon. Wala kami masayod kung si kinsa ang nagsulod sa among salapi sa among mga sako.”
23 And he said to them, [God deal] mercifully with you; be not afraid; your God, and the God of your fathers, has given you treasures in your sacks, and I have enough of your good money. And he brought Symeon out to them.
Miingon ang piniyalan, “Magmalinawon kamo, ayaw kamo kahadlok. Ang inyong Dios ug ang Dios sa inyong amahan mao ang nagsulod sa inyong salapi sa inyong mga sako.” Akong nadawat ang inyong salapi.” Unya gidala pagawas sa piniyalan si Simeon ngadto kanila.
24 And he brought water to wash their feet; and gave provender to their asses.
Gidala sa piniyalan ang mga tawo didto sa balay ni Jose. Gihatagan niya sila ug tubig, ug nanghugas sila sa ilang mga tiil. Gihatagan niya ug pagkaon ang ilang mga asno.
25 And they prepared their gifts, until Joseph came at noon, for they heard that he was going to dine there.
Ug giandam nila ang mga gasa kay moabot si Jose sa pagka-udto, kay nadungog nila nga mokaon sila didto.
26 And Joseph entered into the house, and they brought him the gifts which they had in their hands, into the house; and they did him reverence with their face to the ground.
Sa dihang nahiabot si Jose sa iyang panimalay, gidala nila ang mga gasa nga anaa kanila didto sa balay, ug miyukbo sa iyang atubangan.
27 And he asked them, How are you? and he said to them, Is your father, the old man of whom you spoke, well? Does he yet live?
Nangutana siya mahitungod sa ilang kahimtang ug miingon, “Maayo ba ang kahimtang sa inyong amahan, kadtong tigulang na nga lalaki nga inyong giingon? Buhi pa ba siya?”
28 And they said, Your servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And he said, Blessed be that man by God; —and they bowed, and did him reverence.
Miingon sila, “Ang imong sulugoon nga among amahan anaa sa maayong kahimtang. Buhi pa siya.” Unya mihapa ug miyukbo.
29 And Joseph lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said, Is this your younger brother, whom you spoke of bringing to me? and he said, God have mercy on you, my son.
Sa dihang giyahat niya ang iyang mga mata iyang nakita si Benjamin nga iyang igsoon, ang anak nga lalaki sa iyang inahan, ug siya miingon, “Mao ba kini ang inyong kinamanghorang igsoon nga inyong gisugilon kanako?” Ug unya miingon siya, “Hinaot nga ang Dios maluoy kanimo, akong anak.”
30 And Joseph was troubled, for his bowels yearned over his brother, and he sought to weep; and he went into his chamber, and wept there.
Nagdali si Jose nga migawas sa lawak, kay naluoy siya pag-ayo sa iyang igsoong lalaki. Nangita siya ug luna aron mohilak. Miadto siya sa iyang lawak ug mihilak didto.
31 And he washed his face and came out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
Nanghilam-os siya ug migawas. Gipugngan niya ang iyang kaugalingon, nga nag-ingon, “Idalit ang pagkaon.”
32 And they set on [bread] for him alone, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians feasting with him by themselves, for the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for it is an abomination to the Egyptians.
Gidalit sa mga sulugoon ang pagkaon nga alang lamang kang Jose ug alang usab sa iyang mga igsoong lalaki. Nangaon usab didto ang mga Ehiptohanon uban kang Jose tungod kay dili man sila makakaon ug tinapay kauban sa mga Hebreo, kay makauulaw kana alang sa mga Ehiptohanon.
33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his seniority, and the younger according to his youth; and the men looked with amazement every one at his brother.
Naglingkod ang mga managsoong lalaki sa iyang atubangan, sa pinaka- kamagulangan sumala sa iyang katungod sa pagkamagulang, ug sa pinaka-kamanghoran sumala sa ilang pagkabatan-on. Nahibulong ang mga tawo.
34 And they took their portions from him to themselves; but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as the portions of [the others]. And they drank and were filled with drink with him.
Nagpadala si Jose kanila ug bahin sa mga pagkaon nga anaa sa iyang atubangan. Apan ang bahin ni Benjamin adunay kalimahon ang kadaghan kaysa sa iyang mga igsoong lalaki. Miinom sila ug nagmalipayon uban kaniya.
