Genesis 43
1 Now the famine was severe in the land.
Leleꞌ naa, ndoes-laꞌas sia Kanaꞌan boe fua.
2 So it came about when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said to them, "Go again, buy us a little more food."
Yakob no ume isi nara rabasaꞌ hendi nanaat fo maꞌahulu na, ana nara rendi mia Masir. Boe ma ana nafadꞌe se nae, “Ana nggare. Malole lenaꞌ hei baliꞌ Masir mii, fo hasa seluꞌ nanaat fee hita dei.”
3 But Judah spoke to him, saying, "The man strictly warned us, saying, 'You may not see my face unless your brother is with you.'
Te Yahuda nataa nae, “Amaꞌ! Faiꞌ naa, fetor naa fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu hai nae, mete ma hai nda mo amaꞌ ana muri ma sa, naa, hai afiꞌ mitudꞌu mata mara neu e.
4 If you'll send our brother with us, we'll go down and buy you food,
De amaꞌ musi mboꞌi odꞌi Benyamin, fo tungga hai dei. Naa fo hai feꞌe mii hasa nanaat fee amaꞌ.
5 but if you will not send him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, 'You may not see my face unless your brother is with you.'"
Te mete ma amaꞌ nda fee Benyamin neu sa, naa, hai o nda mi saꞌ boe. Te atahori Masir naa olaꞌ taꞌo naa ena naa.”
6 Then Israel said, "Why did you bring this trouble on me by telling the man that you had another brother?"
Boe ma Yakob ai se nae, “Taꞌo bee de hei mifadꞌe atahori naa, mae hei odꞌi ma feꞌe hela esa fai. Hei sangga miꞌisususaꞌ a au!”
7 They said, "The man kept asking about ourselves, and concerning our relatives, saying, 'Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?' So we just answered his questions. How were we to know that he would say, 'Bring your brother down?'"
Te ara kokoe rae, “Amaꞌ e! Atahori naa akaꞌ natane nakandooꞌ a, fo nae bubꞌuluꞌ hita bobꞌonggiꞌ nara. Ana natane nae, ‘Taꞌo bee? Hei ama ma feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ, do? Hei feꞌe ma odꞌi touꞌ fai, do?’ De hai feꞌe mae saa fai!’ Naa de hai o olaꞌ no matetuꞌ boe. Te se nitaꞌ nae ana nae denu hai mendi odꞌiꞌ neu sia naa?”
8 Then Judah said to his father Israel, "Send the boy with me and we'll get up and go, so that we may live and not die, both we and you, and also our little ones.
Boe ma Yahuda olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ! Mboꞌi anaꞌ naa neu no hai leo. Au helu, mete ma dadꞌi saa-saa neu e, naa, au nggati ala e. Mete ma au nda o baliꞌ e masodꞌaꞌ neu amaꞌ sa, naa, amaꞌ fua salaꞌ neu au losa mate. Dadꞌi amaꞌ mboꞌi anaꞌ naa leo, te hai mae lao ia ena. Malole lenaꞌ hai mi lai-lai, fo ata afiꞌ mate ndoes.
9 I will be collateral for him. You can hold me responsible for him. If I fail to bring him to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever,
10 for if we hadn't delayed, surely we would have returned a second time by now."
Sobꞌa hai nda mihani doo na basa ia sa, naa hai baliꞌ lao rua ena.”
11 Then their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best fruits of the land in your bags and bring a gift for the man, a little balm, a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.
Boe ma ama na nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, hei tao taꞌo ia. Mendi hita rae na buna-bꞌoa malole na, onaꞌ a oni oeꞌ, bumbu-bumbu, hau maꞌameniꞌ raa na, modꞌo salap, kanari no hau dekeꞌ lain ra. Mendi basa se fee neu fetor Masir a, fo mae ia hita lepa-ngges na.
12 Take twice as much silver in your hand, and take back the silver that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was an oversight.
Hei o mendi doiꞌ dedesi na lao rua, huu hei musi fee baliꞌ doiꞌ fo hei hambu mia karon mara faiꞌ naa. Mbei ma atahori naa ra mbedꞌaꞌ rasalaꞌ.
13 Take your brother also, and get up, go back to the man.
Mo hei odꞌi ma boe, te baliꞌ lai-lai e.
14 And may El Shaddai grant you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am deprived of my children, then I am deprived."
Au hule-huleꞌ fo Lamatualain Koasa mana Seliꞌ na, tao fetor a kasian hei. Naa fo ana nau fee baliꞌ Benyamin no Simeon, fo basa hei baliꞌ. Te, mete ma ana nggara mopo se, naa, au lemba sususaꞌ naa sambe mate.”
15 The men took this gift, and they took twice as much silver with them, and Benjamin. Then they got up and went down to Egypt, and presented themselves before Joseph.
Basa naa de, ara reu raduru lepa-ngges ma haꞌi doiꞌ, fo rendi Masir neu. De ara lao ro Benyamin. Ara losa naa de, reu risiꞌ Yusuf.
16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the servant of his house, "Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal and prepare it; for the men will eat with me at noon."
Yusuf nita Benyamin no aꞌa nara ma, ana denu malangga mana tao ues nae, “We! Mo atahori ia ra risiꞌ ume ngga. Mi tati sapi esa, fo nasu maladꞌa-maladꞌaꞌ. Te dei fo, ara raa reorenduꞌ ro au.”
17 The man did as Joseph had said, and the man brought the men to Joseph's house.
Boe ma, malangga mana tao ues tao tungga Yusuf parenda na. De ana no se risiꞌ Yusuf ume na.
18 But the men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph's house, and they said, "It is because of the silver that was returned in our sacks the first time that we are brought here; so that he may capture us, and make us slaves, and take our donkeys."
Ara lao boe ma, aꞌa nara ramatau rala seli. Sia dalaꞌ taladꞌa na ara ola-olaꞌ rae, “We! Taꞌo bee de ana denu ro hita tisiꞌ ia. Seꞌu-seꞌu te nae tao naꞌasususaꞌ hita, huu doiꞌ fo ara tao baliꞌ sia hita karon na maꞌahulu na. Ara ro hita ia tema, fo aiboiꞌ ma, toꞌu hita, fo tao dadꞌi ate na. Ma rambas rala hita keledei nara.”
19 So they came near to the man of Joseph's house and they spoke to him at the entrance of the house,
Naa de, deka-deka Yusuf ume na ma, ara olaꞌ ro malangga mana tao ues a rae,
20 and said, "My lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food.
“Ama! Hai moꞌe maꞌaf, te maꞌahulu na hai ima hasa nanaat sia ia ena boe.
21 But when we came to the lodging place, we opened our sacks, and look, every man's silver was in the mouth of his sack, our silver in full weight. So we have brought it back in our hand.
Hai baliꞌ kamboꞌ mi, de hai hahae mia dalaꞌ. Mae sungguꞌ ma, hai sefi karon fo mae hani banda ra. Naa te hai hambu baliꞌ esa-esaꞌ doiꞌ are mara, mia karon rala. Hai nda mihine seka mana tao neu naa sa. De ia naa, hai mendi baliꞌ basa doiꞌ naa ra. Dadꞌi amaꞌ afiꞌ mumunasa o. Hela fo amaꞌ nahine, ia naa hai o mendi doiꞌ lenaꞌ fo mae hasa seluꞌ nanaat feuꞌ.”
22 We have brought down additional silver with us to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks."
23 He said, "Peace to you. Do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks. I received your silver." Then he brought Simeon out to them.
Basa ma, malangga mana tao uesꞌ a nataa nae, “Hei neneꞌ a. Afiꞌ mimitau. Mbei ma hei Lamatualain ma, mana fee nggi papala-babꞌanggiꞌ sia karon naa ra. Faiꞌ naa, au simbo ala basa hei doi ma ena. Hei nda mihuta saa saꞌ boe!” Boe ma ana mboꞌi Simeon neu se.
24 The man brought the men into Joseph's house and gave them water, and they washed their feet. Then he gave their donkeys food.
De basa se risiꞌ Yusuf ume na rala. Malangga mana tao ues a fee se oe safe ei nara. Ana o hani keledei nara boe.
25 They prepared the gift for Joseph's arrival at noon, for they heard that they would eat a meal there.
Boe ma, nafadꞌe nae, “Dei fo hei mia reorenduꞌ mo malangga.” Ara feꞌe rahati Yusuf nenema na ma, ara haꞌi memaꞌ lepa-ngges nara.
26 When Joseph came home, they prepared the gift they had brought with them into the house, and bowed themselves down to him with their face to the ground.
Yusuf losa boe, basa se sendeꞌ lululangga nara sia mata na. Dei de, ara fee lepa-ngges ra reu e.
27 Then he asked them of their welfare, and said, "Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?"
Yusuf natane se nae, “Taꞌo bee? Basa hei malolole, do? Hei ama ma lasiꞌ naa, onaꞌ bee? Ana malole, do?”
28 And they answered, "Your servant, our father, is well. He is still alive." Then he said, "Blessed be that man by God." And they bowed and prostrated themselves.
Rataa rae, “Amaꞌ ate lasi ma, fo hai ama bꞌonggi ma, malolole.” Basa de, ara beꞌutee fee hadat neu e.
29 And he looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you told me about?" Then he said, "God be gracious to you, my son."
Yusuf mete ndule basa se, de nita odꞌi na Benyamin. Ana nae, “Ooo! Ia eni, hei odꞌi muri ma fo hei dui faiꞌ naa, do?” Boe ma ana olaꞌ no Benyamin nae, “Ana ngge! Au hule-huleꞌ fo Lamatualain pala-banggi fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ naeꞌ.”
30 Then Joseph hurried out, for he was overcome with emotion because of his brother, and he was at the point of tears. So he entered into his chamber and wept there.
Nita Benyamin ma, Yusuf naeꞌ a natudꞌu susue na ena. Huu ana sue odꞌi na nae na seli. Ana nda naeꞌ a naꞌatataaꞌ nala rala na sa ena. De ana lai-lai lao hela se, nisiꞌ kama na rala. Ana nggae mesuꞌudꞌu-faruka sia naa.
31 Then he washed his face and came out. And he controlled himself and said, "Serve the food."
Nggae basa, dei de neu narou mata na. Ana naꞌamamateꞌ rala na, de neu nandaa no se fai. Basa de, ana denu pagau nara reu ralalau mei a.
32 They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat food with the Hebrews, for that is disgraceful to the Egyptians.
Ara tao fee Yusuf naa mia mei mesaꞌ ne. Odi-aꞌa nara raa sia mei feaꞌ. Atahori Masir mana tao ues nara raa sia mei feaꞌ boe, huu atahori Masir ra melumudꞌu raa raꞌabꞌue ro atahori Ibrani ra.
33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at each other with amazement.
Malangga mana tao ues a fee Yusuf odꞌi-aꞌa nara endoꞌ matambambaliꞌ ro e. Ana fee se endoꞌ teri-teri tungga sira too nara, mia aꞌaꞌ losa odꞌi muriꞌ a. Rita taꞌo naa ma, titindindi.
34 Then he gave portions to them in front of him, but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank until they all became drunk.
Yusuf denu pagau nara haꞌi nanaat fee odꞌi-aꞌa nara mia mei na. Basa se simbo ona-ona esaꞌ. Te ara tao fee Benyamin, lenaꞌ aꞌa nara lao lima. De basa se raa-rinu losa raꞌabeta.
