Genesis 42
1 And when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look at one another?
Nígbà tí Jakọbu mọ̀ pé ọkà wà ní Ejibiti, ó wí fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ ń wo ara yín lásán?”
2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt; get you down thither, and buy for us provision from there, that we may live, and not die.
“Mo tí gbọ́ pé ọkà wà ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti. Ẹ sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ibẹ̀ kí ẹ sì rà wá fún wa, kí a má ba à kú.”
3 And ten brothers of Joseph went down to buy corn in Egypt,
Nígbà náà ni mẹ́wàá nínú àwọn arákùnrin Josẹfu sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti láti ra ọkà.
4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brothers; for he said, Lest mischief befall him.
Ṣùgbọ́n Jakọbu kò rán Benjamini àbúrò Josẹfu lọ pẹ̀lú wọn nítorí ẹ̀rù ń bà á kí aburú má ba à ṣẹlẹ̀ sí i.
5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Nítorí náà, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli wà lára àwọn tó lọ Ejibiti lọ ra oúnjẹ nítorí ìyàn náà mú ni ilẹ̀ Kenaani pẹ̀lú.
6 And Joseph—he was the governor over the land, it was he that sold corn to all the people of the land; and Joseph's brothers came, and bowed themselves down before him with the face to the earth.
Nísinsin yìí, Josẹfu ni alábojútó fún gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, òun sì ni ó ń bojútó ọkà títà fún gbogbo ènìyàn ìlú náà. Nítorí náà nígbà tí àwọn arákùnrin Josẹfu dé, wọ́n tẹríba, wọ́n sì foríbalẹ̀ fún Josẹfu.
7 And Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them; but made himself strange unto them and spoke roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
Lọ́gán tí Josẹfu ti rí àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ ni ó ti dá wọn mọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó ṣe bí i wí pé kò mọ̀ wọ́n, ó sì sọ̀rọ̀ líle sí wọn. Ó béèrè pé, “Níbo ni ẹ ti wá?” Wọ́n sì dáhùn pé, “Láti ilẹ̀ Kenaani ni a ti wá ra oúnjẹ.”
8 And Joseph recognized his brothers, but they recognized not him.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ wí pé, Josẹfu mọ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, síbẹ̀ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ kò mọ̀ ọ́n.
9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed concerning them, and he said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land are ye come.
Nígbà náà ni ó rántí àlá rẹ̀ tí ó lá sí wọn, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Amí ni yín, ẹ wá láti wo àṣírí ilẹ̀ wa ni.”
10 And they said unto him, No, my lord, thy servants are only come to buy food.
Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ olúwa wa, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ wá láti ra oúnjẹ ni.
11 We are all sons of one man; we are true men; thy servants have never been spies.
Ọmọ baba ni wá, olóòtítọ́ ènìyàn sì ni wá pẹ̀lú, àwa kì í ṣe ayọ́lẹ̀wò.”
12 And he said unto them, No! but to see the nakedness of the land are ye come.
Ó wí fún wọn pé, “Rárá! Ẹ wá láti wo àṣírí ilẹ̀ wa ni.”
13 And they said, We, thy servants, are twelve brothers, sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n tún dáhùn pé, “Arákùnrin méjìlá ni àwa ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, ọmọ baba kan náà, tí ó ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani. Èyí tí ó jẹ́ àbíkẹ́yìn wa ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ baba wa, ọ̀kan sì ti kú.”
14 And Joseph said unto them, It is as I have spoken unto you, saying, Ye are spies;
Josẹfu wí fún wọn pé, “Bí mo ti wí fún un yín náà ni, Ayọ́lẹ̀wò ni yín!
15 Hereby shall ye be proved: By the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
Èyí sì ni a ó fi dán an yín wò, èmi búra pé, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí Farao bá wà láààyè, ẹ kì yóò kúrò níbí, àyàfi bí arákùnrin yín kan tókù bá wá sí ibí.
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 the truth be with you; and if not, by the life of Pharaoh, ye are surely spies.
Ẹ rán ọ̀kan nínú yín lọ láti mú arákùnrin yín wá, àwa yóò fi ẹ̀yin tókù pamọ́ sínú túbú, kí àwa ba à lè mọ bóyá òtítọ́ ni ẹ̀yin ń wí. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá jẹ́ pé irọ́ ni ẹ̀yin ń pa, ní òtítọ́ bí Farao ti ń bẹ láààyè ayọ́lẹ̀wò ni yín!”
17 And he put them together into ward three days.
Ó sì fi gbogbo wọn sínú túbú fún ọjọ́ mẹ́ta.
18 And Joseph said unto them on the third day, This do, and live; I fear God.
Ní ọjọ́ kẹta, Josẹfu wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe kí ẹ̀yin ba à le yè nítorí mo bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run.
19 If ye be true men, let one of your brothers remain imprisoned in the house of your confinement; but ye, go, carry home what you have bought for the want of your household.
Tí ó bá jẹ́ pé olóòtítọ́ ènìyàn ni yín, ẹ jẹ́ kí ọ̀kan nínú yín dúró ni túbú ní ìhín, nígbà tí àwọn yòókù yín yóò gbé ọkà lọ fún àwọn ará ilé e yín tí ebi ń pa.
20 But your youngest brother bring unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ gbọdọ̀ mú arákùnrin tí ó jẹ́ àbíkẹ́yìn yín wá, kí n ba à le mọ òtítọ́ ohun ti ẹ ń wí, kí ẹ má ba à kú.” Wọn sì gbà láti ṣe èyí.
21 And they said to one another, Truly we are 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.
Wọ́n ń sọ ọ́ láàrín ara wọn wí pé, “Àwa jẹ̀bi nítòótọ́ nípa ti arákùnrin wa. A rí ìbànújẹ́ ọkàn rẹ̀ nígbà tí ó ń bẹ̀ wá nítorí ẹ̀mí rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n a kò gbẹ́bẹ̀, nítorí náà ni ìdààmú yìí fi dé bá wa.”
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not say unto you, thus, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? and behold, his blood also is now required.
Reubeni dá wọn ní ohùn pé, “Èmi kò wí fún yín pé kí ẹ má se ṣẹ̀ sí ọmọdékùnrin náà? Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò gbọ́! Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí a ń béèrè ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ wa.”
23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spoke unto them by an interpreter.
Wọn kò sì mọ̀ pé, Josẹfu ń gbọ́ wọn ní àgbọ́yé nítorí ògbufọ̀ ni ó ń lò tẹ́lẹ̀.
24 And he turned himself away from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and spoke with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
Ó yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn, ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní sọkún. Ó sì tún yí padà sí wọn, ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní sọ̀rọ̀. Ó mú Simeoni kúrò láàrín wọn, ó sì dè é ní ojú wọn.
25 And 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 he did unto them thus.
Josẹfu pàṣẹ pé kí wọn bu ọkà kún inú àpò wọn, kí wọn sì mú owó ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan padà sínú àpò rẹ̀, kí wọn sì fún wọn ní ohun tí wọn yóò lò nírín-àjò wọn padà sílé. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí a ti ṣe èyí fún wọn,
26 And they loaded their asses with their corn, and departed thence.
wọn gbé ẹrù wọn lé kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, wọn sì padà lọ sí ilé.
27 And one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn: when he espied his money, for, behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
Níbi tí wọ́n ti dúró láti sùn lóru ọjọ́ náà, ọ̀kan nínú wọn tú àpò rẹ̀ láti mú oúnjẹ fún kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì rí owó rẹ̀ ní ẹnu àpò rẹ̀.
28 And he said unto his brothers, My money hath been 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?
Ó sì wí fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “a ti dá owó mi padà, òun nìyí ní ẹnu àpò mi.” Ẹ̀rù bà wọ́n, wọ́n sì ń gbọ̀n, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Èwo nìyí tí Ọlọ́run ṣe sí wa yìí.”
29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and they told him all that had befallen them; saying,
Nígbà tí wọ́n padà dé ọ̀dọ̀ Jakọbu baba wọn ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani, wọ́n ròyìn gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ fún un wí pé,
30 The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and took us as though we were espying the country.
“Ọkùnrin náà tí í ṣe alábojútó ilẹ̀ náà, sọ̀rọ̀ líle sí wa, ó sì fi ẹ̀sùn kàn wá pé a wá yọ́ ilẹ̀ náà wò ni.
31 And we said unto him, We are true men; we have never been spies:
Ṣùgbọ́n, a wí fún un pé, ‘Rárá o, olóòtítọ́ ènìyàn ni wá, a kì í ṣe ayọ́lẹ̀wò.
32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; the one is no more, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
Arákùnrin méjìlá ni wá, ọmọ baba kan náà, ọ̀kan ti kú, èyí tí ó jẹ́ àbíkẹ́yìn wà lọ́dọ̀ baba wa ni ilẹ̀ Kenaani.’
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 brothers here with me, and [the food for] the want of your households take ye and be gone;
“Nígbà náà ni ọkùnrin tí ó jẹ́ alábojútó ilẹ̀ náà wí fún wa pé, ‘Báyìí ni n ó ṣe mọ̀ bóyá olóòtítọ́ ènìyàn ni yín, ẹ fi ọ̀kan nínú àwọn arákùnrin yín sílẹ̀ níbí, pẹ̀lú mi, ẹ sì mú oúnjẹ lọ fún àwọn ará ilé yín tí ebi ń pa kú lọ, lọ́wọ́ ìyàn.
34 And bring your youngest brother unto me; then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men; your brother I will give up to you, and in the land ye shall be allowed to traffic.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ mú arákùnrin yín tí ó kéré jùlọ wá fún mi kí n le mọ̀ pé dájúdájú ẹ kì í ṣe ayọ́lẹ̀wò bí kò ṣe ènìyàn tòótọ́. Nígbà náà ni n ó mú arákùnrin yín padà fún un yín, lẹ́yìn náà ẹ le máa wá ṣe òwò bí ó ti wù yín ní ilẹ̀ yìí.’”
35 And it came to pass as they were emptying their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when they saw the bundles of their money, they and their father, they were afraid.
Bí wọ́n sì ti ń tú àpò ẹrù wọn, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan bá owó tí ó san fún ọjà náà lẹ́nu àpò rẹ̀! Ẹ̀rù sì bà wọ́n gidigidi, àwọn àti baba wọn.
36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me ye have bereaved of my children: Joseph is gone, and Simeon is gone, and Benjamin ye will take away; all these things are against me.
Jakọbu baba wọn wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ ti mú mi pàdánù àwọn ọmọ mi. N kò rí Josẹfu mọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni n kò sì rí Simeoni náà mọ. Ẹ sì tún fẹ́ mú Benjamini lọ. Èmi ni gbogbo ohun búburú yìí wá ń ṣẹlẹ̀ sí!”
37 And Reuben said unto his father, thus, Two of my sons shalt thou slay, if I bring him not to thee; deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him back to thee.
Nígbà náà ni Reubeni wí fún baba rẹ̀ pé, “Pa àwọn ọmọ mi méjèèjì bí n kò bá mú Benjamini padà wá fún ọ, èmi ni kí o fà á lé lọ́wọ́, n ó sì mu un padà wá.”
38 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left: and if mischief befall him by the way in which ye go, then will ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Ṣùgbọ́n Jakọbu wí pé, “Ọmọ mi kì yóò bá a yín lọ, ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀ ti kú, òun nìkan sì ni ó kù nínú àwọn ọmọ ìyá rẹ̀. Bí ohunkóhun bá ṣẹlẹ̀ sí i, ìbànújẹ́ ni yóò sì pa mi kú ni ọjọ́ ogbó mi yìí.” (Sheol h7585)
