Genesis 43
1 Now the famine was severe in the land.
Koro kech ne pod ger ahinya e piny.
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."
Bangʼ kane gisechamo cham duto mane gia godo Misri, wuon-gi nowachonegi niya, “Doguru mondo udhi ungʼiewnwae chiemo moko.”
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.'
To Juda nowachone niya, “Ngʼat cha nosiemowa matek ni, ‘Ok nachak awuo kodu ka ok ubiro gi owadu.’
4 If you'll send our brother with us, we'll go down and buy you food,
Kinyalo yie mondo Benjamin odhi kodwa, to wabiro dhi mondo wadhi warund cham.
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.'"
To ka ok iore, to ok wabi dhi, nikech ngʼatno nowachonwa ni, ‘Ok abi chak awuo kodu ka ok ubiro gi owadu.’”
6 Then Israel said, "Why did you bring this trouble on me by telling the man that you had another brother?"
Israel nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ukelona chandruogni ka unyiso ngʼatno ni un kod owadu moro?”
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?'"
To negidwoke niya, “Ngʼatno nopenjowa ahinya kuomwa wawegi kendo kuom joodwa. Nopenjowa ni, ‘Bende wuonu pod ngima? Bende un gi owadu machielo?’ Ne wadwoke mana gik mane openjowa. Ere kaka dine wangʼe ni obiro wachonwa ni, ‘Dhi ukel owaduno ka’?”
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.
Eka Juda nowacho ne Israel wuon mare niya, “We wawuogi kendo adhi gi wuowini, mondo omi wan kod in kod nyithindwa kik kech negwa.
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,
An awuon asingora ni abiro rite kendo en e lweta. Ka ok aduoge iri ka, to ikwana kaka jaketho e ndalo duto mag ngimana.
10 for if we hadn't delayed, surely we would have returned a second time by now."
Ka debed ni ok waseketho kinde, dine wasedhi ma waduogo diriyo.”
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.
Eka Israel wuon-gi nowachonegi niya, “Ka en ni nyaka obed kamano, to timuru kama. Keturu gik moko mabeyo mag pinyni e ogundeu kendo utergi ne ngʼatno kaka mich; ma gin yiende moko, gi mor kich gi gik mangʼwe ngʼar gi mane-mane kod oyungu.
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.
Kawuru pesa moromo rundo nyadiriyo, nikech nyaka uduoki pesa mane oket ei ogundeu. Nyalo bedo ni mano nobothnigi.
13 Take your brother also, and get up, go back to the man.
Kawuru owadu kendo udhi ir ngʼatno piyo.
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."
Kendo mad Nyasaye Maratego timnu ngʼwono e nyim ngʼatno mondo mi owe owadu kod Benjamin mondo oduog kodu. To an to kochuno ni nyaka abed mokuyo to abiro kuyo.”
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.
Kuom mano jogo nokawo mich kod pesa moromo rundo nyadiriyo, kod Benjamin bende. Negireto mapiyo nono ka gidhi Misri kendo negidhi ir Josef.
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."
Kane Josef oneno Benjamin kani kodgi, nowacho ne jarit ode niya, “Kaw jogi iter oda, yangʼnegi chiayo kendo ilosnegi chiemo mondo gichiem koda sa auchiel.”
17 The man did as Joseph had said, and the man brought the men to Joseph's house.
Jarit notimo mana kaka Josef nokone kendo notero jogo nyaka e od Josef.
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."
To jogo ne luoro omako kane otergi e od Josef. Negiparo niya, “Osekelwa ka nikech pesa ma wayudo koduok e ogundewa, chiengʼ mane wabiro kae mokwongo. Odwaro ni mondo oichwa kendo olowa mondo mi oketwa wasumbini, bangʼe okaw pundewa.”
19 So they came near to the man of Joseph's house and they spoke to him at the entrance of the house,
Kuom mano negidhi ir jarit od Josef kendo giwuoyo kode e dhoot.
20 and said, "My lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food.
Negiwachone niya, “Jaduongʼ ne wabiro ka mokwongo ngʼiewo cham.
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.
To kamane wabuoroe gotieno ne wagonyo gundewa kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomwa noyudo pesane mana kaka ne wabiro kodgi e dho ogunde. Kuom mano waseduogogi.
22 We have brought down additional silver with us to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks."
Bende wasebiro gi pesa moko mondo wangʼiew godo chiemo. Ok wangʼeyo ngʼama noketo pesa e gundewa.”
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.
Nowacho niya, “Mano ber. Kik uluor. Nyasaye ma Nyasach wuonu, osedwokonu pesau e gundeu; to pesa mane ungʼiewgo cham ira, an godo.” Eka ne okelonegi Simeon.
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.
Jarit notero jogo e od Josef, nomiyogi pi mondo giluokgo tiendgi kendo pundegi bende nomiyo chiemo.
25 They prepared the gift for Joseph's arrival at noon, for they heard that they would eat a meal there.
Negiiko mich mane gibiro godo mondo gi dhi gimi Josef sa auchiel, nikech negisewinjo ni gidhi chiemo kode.
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.
Kane Josef odwogo dala, negimiye mich mane gikelone, kendo negikulore e nyime nyaka e lowo.
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?"
Josef nopenjogi kaka gidhi eka nowachonegi niya, “Jaduongʼ ma wuonu mane uwachona wach kuome ni nade? Bende pod ongima?”
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.
Negidwoke niya, “Jatichni ma wuonwa pod ngima kendo odhi maber.” Kendo negikulorene ka gimiyogo duongʼ.
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."
Kane orango ma oneno owadgi Benjamin, wuod min-gi hie, nopenjogi niya, “Ma e owadu ma chogo, mane uwachona wachne?” Kendo nomedo wacho niya, “Nyasaye mad gwedhi wuoda.”
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.
Ne mirima omake ka oneno Benjamin owadgi. Josef noreto kadhi oko kendo orango kamane onyalo pondoe ka oywak. Nodonjo e kachiende kendo ne oywak kuno.
31 Then he washed his face and came out. And he controlled himself and said, "Serve the food."
Bangʼ kane oseluoko wangʼe, noduogo kendo ka otemo oore nowacho niya, “Chiemuru.”
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.
Negitokone chiembe kende, owetene kendgi, kendo jo-Misri mane chiemo kode bende nomi chiembgi kendgi, nikech jo-Misri ne ok nyal chiemo gi jo-Hibrania, nimar mano en gima kwero ne jo-Misri.
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.
Owete Josef nobet e mesa e nyime kaluwore kaka nywolgi nobet, chakre wuowi maduongʼ nyaka wuowi matin kendo e kinde mane gibet kamano chunygi noparore.
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.
Kane omigi chiemo koa e mesa mar Josef, chiemb Benjamin ne ngʼeny moloyo mar ngʼato angʼata nyadibich. Kuom mano negichiemo kendo gimetho ka gin thuolo kode.
