Genesis 42
1 And Jacob sees that there is grain in Egypt, and Jacob says to his sons, “Why do you look at each other?”
Kane Jakobo owinjo ni cham yudore e piny Misri, nowacho ne yawuote niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ubet urangoru aranga?”
2 He also says, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt, go down there, and buy for us from there, and we live and do 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 the ten brothers of Joseph go down to buy grain in Egypt,
Eka owete Josef apar nodhi Misri mondo odhi ongʼiew cham.
4 and Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob has not sent with his brothers, for he said, “Lest harm meet him.”
To Jakobo ne ok ooro Benjamin mowadgi Josef hie kodgi nikech noluor ni dipo ka gimoro ohinye.
5 And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine has been in the land of Canaan,
Kuom mano yawuot Jakobo kaachiel gi jo-Kanaan nodhi ngʼiewo cham nikech kech momako pinygi.
6 and Joseph is the ruler over the land, he who is selling to all the people of the land, and Joseph’s brothers come and bow themselves to him—face 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 sees his brothers, and discerns them, and makes himself strange to them, and speaks sharp things with them, and says to them, “From where have you come?” And they say, “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 discerns his brothers, but they have not discerned him,
Kata obedo ni Josef nofwenyo owetene, gin to ne ok gifwenye.
9 and Joseph remembers the dreams which he dreamed of them and says to them, “You [are] spies; you have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
Eka noparo lek mane oleko kuomgi kendo nowachonegi niya, “Un okwach kich! Kendo usebiro mondo une-ane kama pinywa nyapgodo.”
10 And they say to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food;
To negidwoke niya, “Ooyo ruodha. Jotichgi obiro mana mondo orund chiemo.
11 we [are] all of us sons of one man, we [are] right men; your servants have not been spies”;
Waduto wan yawuot ngʼat achiel. Jotichgi gin joma kare, ma ok okwach kich.”
12 and he says to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land”;
To Josef nomedo wachonegi niya, “Ooyo! Usebiro mana ni mondo ungʼe kama pinywa nyapgodo.”
13 and they say, “Your servants [are] twelve brothers; we [are] sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and behold, the young one [is] with our father today, 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 says to them, “This [is] that which I have spoken to you, saying, You [are] spies,
Josef nowachonegi niya, “En mana kaka ne awachonu: Un okwach kich!
15 by this you are proved: [as] Pharaoh lives, if you go out from this—except by your young brother coming here;
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 bring your brother, and you, remain bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be with you: and if not, [as] Pharaoh lives, surely you [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 gathers them into confinement [for] three days.
Kendo noketogi duto e od twech kuom ndalo adek.
18 And Joseph says to them on the third day, “Do this and live; I fear God!
Odiechiengʼ mar adek, Josef nowachonegi niya, “Timuru ma mondo mi udagi, nikech aluoro Nyasaye:
19 If you [are] right men, let one of your brothers be bound in the house of your confinement, and you, go, carry in grain [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 and you bring your young brother to me, and your words are established, and you do not die”; and they do 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 say to one another, “Truly we [are] guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul, in his making supplication to us, and we did not listen: therefore this distress has come on 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 answers them, saying, “Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the boy? And you did not listen; and his blood also, behold, it 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 have not known that Joseph understands, for the interpreter [is] between them;
To ne ok gingʼeyo ni Josef owinjo gima giwacho nikech Josef noketo ngʼama lokone wach.
24 and he turns around from them, and weeps, and turns back to them, and speaks to them, and takes Simeon from them, and binds 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 And Joseph commands, and they fill their vessels [with] grain, also to put back the money of each of them into his sack, and to give to them provision for the way; and one does to them so.
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 lift up their grain on their donkeys, and go from there,
negiketo cham e ngʼe pundegi kendo gidhi.
27 and the one opens his sack to give provender to his donkey at a lodging-place, and he sees his money, and behold, it [is] in the mouth of his bag,
Kamane gibuore gotieno, achiel kuomgi nogonyo gunde mondo omi pundane chiemo, kendo noneno pesane ka otwe e dho ogunde.
28 and he says to his brothers, “My money has been put back, and also, behold, in my bag”: and their heart goes out, and they tremble, to one another saying, “What [is] this God has done to 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 come to their father Jacob, to the land of Canaan, and they declare to him all the things meeting them, saying,
Kane gibiro ir Jakobo wuon-gi e piny Kanaan, neginyise duto mane osetimorenegi. Negiwacho niya,
30 “The man, the lord of the land, has spoken with us sharp things, and makes us as spies of the land;
“Ngʼat ma ruodh pinyno nowuoyo kodwa mager kendo nokawowa mana ka okwach kich modhi nono pinygi.
31 and we say to him, We [are] right men, we have not been spies,
To ne wawachone ni, ‘Wan joma kare; ok wan okwach kich.
32 we [are] twelve brothers, sons of our father, one is not, and the young one [is] today 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 land, says to us, By this I know that you [are] right men—leave one of your brothers with me, and take [for] the famine of your houses and go,
“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 young brother to me, and I know that you [are] not spies, but you [are] right men; I give your brother to you, and you trade with 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 comes to pass, they are emptying their sacks, and behold, the bundle of each man’s silver [is] in his sack, and they see their bundles of silver, they and their father, and are 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 their father Jacob says to them, “You have bereaved me; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and Benjamin you take—all these [things] have been 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 speaks to his father, saying, “You put to death my two sons, if I do not bring him to you; give him into my hand, and I bring him back to you”;
Eka Reuben nowacho ne wuon-gi niya, “Inyalo nego yawuota ka ok aduogoni Benjamin. Weye e lweta kendo abiro duoge.”
38 and he says, “My son does not go down with you, for his brother [is] dead, and he by himself is left; when harm has met him in the way in which you go, then you have brought down my grey hairs in sorrow to Sheol.” (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)
