Genesis 43
1 But the famine prevailed in the land.
Koro kech ne pod ger ahinya e piny.
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.
Bangʼ kane gisechamo cham duto mane gia godo Misri, wuon-gi nowachonegi niya, “Doguru mondo udhi ungʼiewnwae chiemo moko.”
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.
To Juda nowachone niya, “Ngʼat cha nosiemowa matek ni, ‘Ok nachak awuo kodu ka ok ubiro gi owadu.’
4 If, then, you send our brother with us, we will go down, and buy you food;
Kinyalo yie mondo Benjamin odhi kodwa, to wabiro dhi mondo wadhi warund cham.
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.
To ka ok iore, to ok wabi dhi, nikech ngʼatno nowachonwa ni, ‘Ok abi chak awuo kodu ka ok ubiro gi owadu.’”
6 And Israel said, Why did you harm me, inasmuch as you told the man that you had a brother?
Israel nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ukelona chandruogni ka unyiso ngʼatno ni un kod owadu moro?”
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?
To negidwoke niya, “Ngʼatno nopenjowa ahinya kuomwa wawegi kendo kuom joodwa. Nopenjowa ni, ‘Bende wuonu pod ngima? Bende un gi owadu machielo?’ Ne wadwoke mana gik mane openjowa. Ere kaka dine wangʼe ni obiro wachonwa ni, ‘Dhi ukel owaduno ka’?”
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.
Eka Juda nowacho ne Israel wuon mare niya, “We wawuogi kendo adhi gi wuowini, mondo omi wan kod in kod nyithindwa kik kech negwa.
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.
An awuon asingora ni abiro rite kendo en e lweta. Ka ok aduoge iri ka, to ikwana kaka jaketho e ndalo duto mag ngimana.
10 For if we had not tarried, we should now have returned twice.
Ka debed ni ok waseketho kinde, dine wasedhi ma waduogo diriyo.”
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.
Eka Israel wuon-gi nowachonegi niya, “Ka en ni nyaka obed kamano, to timuru kama. Keturu gik moko mabeyo mag pinyni e ogundeu kendo utergi ne ngʼatno kaka mich; ma gin yiende moko, gi mor kich gi gik mangʼwe ngʼar gi mane-mane kod oyungu.
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.
Kawuru pesa moromo rundo nyadiriyo, nikech nyaka uduoki pesa mane oket ei ogundeu. Nyalo bedo ni mano nobothnigi.
13 And take your brother; and arise, go down to the man.
Kawuru owadu kendo udhi ir ngʼatno piyo.
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.
Kendo mad Nyasaye Maratego timnu ngʼwono e nyim ngʼatno mondo mi owe owadu kod Benjamin mondo oduog kodu. To an to kochuno ni nyaka abed mokuyo to abiro kuyo.”
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.
Kuom mano jogo nokawo mich kod pesa moromo rundo nyadiriyo, kod Benjamin bende. Negireto mapiyo nono ka gidhi Misri kendo negidhi ir Josef.
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.
Kane Josef oneno Benjamin kani kodgi, nowacho ne jarit ode niya, “Kaw jogi iter oda, yangʼnegi chiayo kendo ilosnegi chiemo mondo gichiem koda sa auchiel.”
17 And the man did as Joseph said; and he brought the men into the house of Joseph.
Jarit notimo mana kaka Josef nokone kendo notero jogo nyaka e od Josef.
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.
To jogo ne luoro omako kane otergi e od Josef. Negiparo niya, “Osekelwa ka nikech pesa ma wayudo koduok e ogundewa, chiengʼ mane wabiro kae mokwongo. Odwaro ni mondo oichwa kendo olowa mondo mi oketwa wasumbini, bangʼe okaw pundewa.”
19 And having approached the man who was over the house of Joseph, they spoke to him in the porch of the house,
Kuom mano negidhi ir jarit od Josef kendo giwuoyo kode e dhoot.
20 saying, We pray [you], Sir; we came down at first to buy food.
Negiwachone niya, “Jaduongʼ ne wabiro ka mokwongo ngʼiewo cham.
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.
To kamane wabuoroe gotieno ne wagonyo gundewa kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomwa noyudo pesane mana kaka ne wabiro kodgi e dho ogunde. Kuom mano waseduogogi.
22 And we have brought other money with us to buy food; we know not who put the money into our sacks.
Bende wasebiro gi pesa moko mondo wangʼiew godo chiemo. Ok wangʼeyo ngʼama noketo pesa e gundewa.”
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.
Nowacho niya, “Mano ber. Kik uluor. Nyasaye ma Nyasach wuonu, osedwokonu pesau e gundeu; to pesa mane ungʼiewgo cham ira, an godo.” Eka ne okelonegi Simeon.
24 And he brought water to wash their feet; and gave provender to their asses.
Jarit notero jogo e od Josef, nomiyogi pi mondo giluokgo tiendgi kendo pundegi bende nomiyo chiemo.
25 And they prepared their gifts, until Joseph came at noon, for they heard that he was going to dine there.
Negiiko mich mane gibiro godo mondo gi dhi gimi Josef sa auchiel, nikech negisewinjo ni gidhi chiemo kode.
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.
Kane Josef odwogo dala, negimiye mich mane gikelone, kendo negikulore e nyime nyaka e lowo.
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?
Josef nopenjogi kaka gidhi eka nowachonegi niya, “Jaduongʼ ma wuonu mane uwachona wach kuome ni nade? Bende pod ongima?”
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.
Negidwoke niya, “Jatichni ma wuonwa pod ngima kendo odhi maber.” Kendo negikulorene ka gimiyogo duongʼ.
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.
Kane orango ma oneno owadgi Benjamin, wuod min-gi hie, nopenjogi niya, “Ma e owadu ma chogo, mane uwachona wachne?” Kendo nomedo wacho niya, “Nyasaye mad gwedhi wuoda.”
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.
Ne mirima omake ka oneno Benjamin owadgi. Josef noreto kadhi oko kendo orango kamane onyalo pondoe ka oywak. Nodonjo e kachiende kendo ne oywak kuno.
31 And he washed his face and came out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
Bangʼ kane oseluoko wangʼe, noduogo kendo ka otemo oore nowacho niya, “Chiemuru.”
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.
Negitokone chiembe kende, owetene kendgi, kendo jo-Misri mane chiemo kode bende nomi chiembgi kendgi, nikech jo-Misri ne ok nyal chiemo gi jo-Hibrania, nimar mano en gima kwero ne jo-Misri.
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.
Owete Josef nobet e mesa e nyime kaluwore kaka nywolgi nobet, chakre wuowi maduongʼ nyaka wuowi matin kendo e kinde mane gibet kamano chunygi noparore.
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.
Kane omigi chiemo koa e mesa mar Josef, chiemb Benjamin ne ngʼeny moloyo mar ngʼato angʼata nyadibich. Kuom mano negichiemo kendo gimetho ka gin thuolo kode.
