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?"
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 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."
“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 So Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
Nígbà náà ni mẹ́wàá nínú àwọn arákùnrin Josẹfu sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti láti ra ọkà.
4 But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, "Some harm might happen to 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 So the sons of Israel went to buy among the other travelers, 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 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.
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 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."
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 So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ wí pé, Josẹfu mọ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, síbẹ̀ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ kò mọ̀ ọ́n.
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."
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 But they said to him, "No, my lord, but your servants have 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 honest men. Your servants are not spies."
Ọmọ baba ni wá, olóòtítọ́ ènìyàn sì ni wá pẹ̀lú, àwa kì í ṣe ayọ́lẹ̀wò.”
12 But he said to them, "No, but you have come to look for the vulnerabilities of the country."
Ó wí fún wọn pé, “Rárá! Ẹ wá láti wo àṣírí ilẹ̀ wa ni.”
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."
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 But Joseph said to them, "It is as I said to you, saying, 'You are spies.'
Josẹfu wí fún wọn pé, “Bí mo ti wí fún un yín náà ni, Ayọ́lẹ̀wò ni yín!
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.
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 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."
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 So he put all of them together in prison for three days.
Ó sì fi gbogbo wọn sínú túbú fún ọjọ́ mẹ́ta.
18 Then Joseph said to them the third day, "Do what I say, and live, for 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 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.
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 bring your youngest brother to me so that your words will be verified, and you won't die." To this they agreed.
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 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."
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 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."
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 Now they did not know that Joseph could understand them, since he was speaking through an interpreter.
Wọn kò sì mọ̀ pé, Josẹfu ń gbọ́ wọn ní àgbọ́yé nítorí ògbufọ̀ ni ó ń lò tẹ́lẹ̀.
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.
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 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.
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 They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.
wọn gbé ẹrù wọn lé kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, wọn sì padà lọ sí ilé.
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.
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 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?"
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 Then they returned to their father Jacob to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened to 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 country, spoke harshly to us, and he put us in custody as spies of 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 But we said to him, 'We are honest men. We are not 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; one is no more, and the youngest is now 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 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.
“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 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.'"
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 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.
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 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."
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 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."
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 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)
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)
