Genesis 42

1 Now Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, so Jacob said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?"

Nabalitaan nga ni Jacob na may trigo sa Egipto, at sinabi ni Jacob sa kaniyang mga anak, Bakit kayo nangagtitinginan?

2 He said, "Look, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us from there, so that we may live and not die."

At kaniyang sinabi, Narito, aking narinig na may trigo sa Egipto: bumaba kayo roon, at bumili kayo roon ng sa ganang atin, upang tayo'y mabuhay at huwag mamatay.

3 So Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.

At ang sangpung kapatid ni Jose ay bumaba, na bumili ng trigo sa Egipto.

4 But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, "Some harm might happen to him."

Datapuwa't si Benjamin na kapatid ni Jose, ay hindi sinugo ni Jacob na kasama ng kaniyang mga kapatid; sapagka't aniya'y, Baka sakaling may mangyari sa kaniyang anomang kapahamakan.

5 So the sons of Israel went to buy among the other travelers, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

At ang mga anak ni Israel ay nagsiparoong bumili, na kasalamuha ng nagsisiparoon: sapagka't nagkakagutom sa lupain ng Canaan.

6 Now Joseph was the ruler over the country, and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph's brothers came and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the ground.

At si Jose ang tagapamahala sa lupain; siya ang nagbibili ng trigo sa lahat ng mga tao sa lupain: at nagsidating ang mga kapatid ni Jose at nangagpatirapa sa kaniya, na ang kanilang mga mukha ay pasubasob.

7 Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but he acted like he did not know them, and spoke harshly with them. And he said to them, "Where do you come from?" And they said, "From the land of Canaan to buy food."

At nakita ni Jose ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at kaniyang nangakilala, datapuwa't siya'y nagkunwaring iba sa kanila, at sila'y kinausap niya ng magilas; at sinabi sa kanila, Saan kayo nagsipanggaling? At sinabi nila, Sa lupain ng Canaan, upang bumili ng pagkain.

8 So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.

At nakilala ni Jose ang kaniyang mga kapatid, datapuwa't hindi nila siya nakilala.

9 Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies. You have come to look for the vulnerabilities of the country."

At naalaala ni Jose ang mga panaginip na kaniyang napanaginip, tungkol sa kanila, at sa kanila'y sinabi, Kayo'y mga tiktik; upang tingnan ninyo ang kahubaran ng lupain kaya kayo naparito.

10 But they said to him, "No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.

At kanilang sinabi sa kaniya, Hindi panginoon ko, kundi ang iyong mga lingkod ay nagsiparito upang bumili ng pagkain.

11 We are all sons of one man. We are honest men. Your servants are not spies."

Kaming lahat ay anak ng isa lamang lalake; kami ay mga taong tapat, ang iyong mga lingkod ay hindi mga tiktik.

12 But he said to them, "No, but you have come to look for the vulnerabilities of the country."

At kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Hindi, kungdi upang tingnan ang kahubaran ng lupain kaya kayo naparito.

13 But they said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and look, the youngest is now with our father, and one is no more."

At kanilang sinabi, Kaming iyong mga lingkod ay labing dalawang magkakapatid, na mga anak ng isa lamang lalake sa lupain ng Canaan; at, narito, ang bunso ay nasa aming ama ngayon, at ang isa'y wala na.

14 But Joseph said to them, "It is as I said to you, saying, 'You are spies.'

At sinabi sa kanila ni Jose, Iyan ang sinasalita ko sa inyo, na aking sinasabi, Kayo'y mga tiktik;

15 This is how you will be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you will not leave from here until your youngest brother comes here.

Dito ko kayo susubukin: alangalang sa buhay ni Faraon ay hindi kayo aalis dito, malibang pumarito ang inyong kapatid na bunso.

16 Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you will stay in prison, so that your words can be tested, whether there is truth in you. Or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies."

Suguin ninyo ang isa sa inyo, na dalhin dito ang inyong kapatid, at kayo'y mangabibilanggo; upang masubok ang inyong mga salita, kung may katotohanan sa inyo: o kung hindi alangalang sa buhay ni Faraon, ay tunay na mga tiktik kayo.

17 So he put all of them together in prison for three days.

At kaniyang inilagay silang lahat na magkakasama sa bilangguan na tatlong araw.

18 Then Joseph said to them the third day, "Do what I say, and live, for I fear God.

At sinabi ni Jose sa kanila sa ikatlong araw, Gawin ninyo ito at mangabuhay kayo; sapagka't natatakot ako sa Dios:

19 If you are honest, then let one of your brothers remain confined in your prison; but you go and carry grain for the hunger of your households.

Kung kayo'y mga taong tapat, ay matira ang isa sa inyong magkakapatid na bilanggo sa bahay na pinagbilangguan sa inyo; datapuwa't kayo'y yumaon, magdala kayo ng trigo dahil sa kagutom sa inyong mga bahay:

20 But bring your youngest brother to me so that your words will be verified, and you won't die." To this they agreed.

At dalhin ninyo sa akin ang inyong kapatid na bunso; sa ganito'y matototohanan ang inyong mga salita, at hindi kayo mangamamatay. At kanilang ginawang gayon.

21 Then they said to one another, "We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, because we saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us, and we wouldn't listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us."

At sila'y nagsabisabihan, Katotohanang tayo'y salarin tungkol sa ating kapatid, sapagka't nakita natin ang kahapisan ng kaniyang kaluluwa, nang namamanhik sa atin, at hindi natin siya dininig; kaya't dumarating sa atin ang kahapisang ito.

22 Reuben answered them, saying, "Did I not tell you, saying, 'Do not sin against the boy,' but you wouldn't listen? Therefore, look, now comes a reckoning for his blood."

At si Ruben ay sumagot sa kanila, na nagsasabi, Di ba nagsalita ako sa inyo, na aking sinasabi, Huwag kayong magkasala laban sa bata; at ayaw kayong makinig? kaya naman, narito, ang kaniyang dugo ay nagsasakdal.

23 Now they did not know that Joseph could understand them, since he was speaking through an interpreter.

At hindi nila nalalaman na sila'y pinakikinggan ni Jose; sapagka't may tagapagpaliwanag sa kanila.

24 He stepped away from them and wept. Then he returned to them and talked with them. Then he took Simeon from them and bound him in front of them.

At siya'y humiwalay sa kanila, at umiyak; at siya'y bumalik sa kanila, at sila'y kinausap at kinuha sa kanila si Simeon, at siya'y tinalian sa harap ng kanilang mga mata.

25 Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, and to restore every man's silver into his sack, and to give them food for the journey. And it was done for them.

Nang magkagayo'y ipinagutos ni Jose na punuin ang kanilang mga bayong ng trigo, at ibalik ang salapi ng bawa't isa sa kanikaniyang bayong, at sila'y bigyan ng mababaon sa daan: at ginawa sa kanilang gayon.

26 They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.

At kanilang pinasanan ng trigo ang kanilang mga asno, at sila'y yumaon mula roon.

27 As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food at the lodging place, he saw his silver. Look, it was in the mouth of his sack.

At pagbubukas ng isa ng kaniyang bayong upang bigyan ng pagkain ang kaniyang asno sa tuluyan, ay nakita niya ang kaniyang salapi; at, narito, nasa labi ng kaniyang bayong.

28 He said to his brothers, "My silver has been returned. Look, it is in my sack." And they were dismayed, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, "What is this that God has done to us?"

At sinabi niya sa kaniyang mga kapatid, Ang salapi ko ay nasauli; at, narito, nasa aking bayong: at kumutob ang kanilang puso; at nangagtinginan na nanganginginig, na nagsasabihan, Ano itong ginawa ng Dios sa atin?

29 Then they returned to their father Jacob to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened to them, saying,

At sila'y dumating kay Jacob na kanilang ama sa lupain ng Canaan, at isinaysay nila sa kaniya ang lahat na nangyari sa kanila; na sinasabi:

30 "The man, the lord of the country, spoke harshly to us, and he put us in custody as spies of the country.

Ang lalaking panginoon sa lupaing yaon ay kinausap kami na magilas, at inari kaming mga tiktik sa lupain.

31 But we said to him, 'We are honest men. We are not spies.

At aming sinabi sa kaniya, Kami ay mga taong tapat; hindi kami mga tiktik:

32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.'

Kami ay labing dalawang magkakapatid, na mga anak ng aming ama; ang isa'y wala na, at ang bunso ay nasa aming ama ngayon sa lupain ng Canaan.

33 The man, the lord of the country, said to us, 'By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the hunger of your households, and go your way.

At sinabi sa amin ng lalaking yaon, ng panginoon sa lupain, Dito ko makikilala na kayo'y mga taong tapat: magiwan kayo sa akin ng isa sa inyong magkakapatid, at magsipagdala kayo ng trigo dahil sa kagutom sa inyong mga bahay, at kayo'y yumaon.

34 Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and you may travel in the land.'"

At dalhin ninyo rito sa akin ang inyong kapatid na bunso: kung gayo'y makikilala ko, na kayo'y hindi mga tiktik, kundi kayo'y mga taong tapat: sa ganito'y isasauli ko sa inyo ang inyong kapatid at kayo'y mangangalakal sa lupain.

35 Then it happened as they emptied their sacks, that look, every man's bag of silver was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bags of silver, they were afraid.

At nangyari na pagaalis ng laman ng kanilang mga bayong, na, narito, sa bayong ng bawa't isa ay nakalagay ang balot ng kanikaniyang salapi: at nang makita nila at ng kanilang ama ang kanilang mga balot ng salapi, ay nangatakot.

36 Then their father Jacob said to them, "You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All this has come against me."

At sinabi sa kanila ng kanilang amang si Jacob, Inalis na ninyo sa akin ang aking mga anak: si Jose ay wala, at si Simeon ay wala, at aalisin pa ninyo si Benjamin: lahat ng bagay na ito ay laban sa akin.

37 Reuben spoke to his father, saying, "Kill my two sons if I do not bring him to you. Put him in my care, and I will bring him back to you."

At nagsalita, si Ruben sa kaniyang ama, na sinasabi, Ipapatay mo ang aking dalawang anak kung siya'y hindi ko dalhin sa iyo; ibigay mo sa aking kamay, at siya'y aking ibabalik sa iyo.

38 But he said, "My son will not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should happen to him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol." (Sheol h7585)

At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi yayaon ang aking anak na kasama ninyo; sapagka't ang kaniyang kapatid ay patay na, at siya lamang ang natitira; kung mangyari sa kaniya ang anomang kapahamakan sa daan na inyong paroroonan, ay pabababain nga ninyo ang aking mga uban sa Sheol na may kapanglawan. (Sheol h7585)
