< Genesis 43 >

1 But the famine, was severe in the land.
Sracl in acn Canaan yokyokelik,
2 So it came to pass when they had made an end of eating the corn which they had brought in out of Egypt, that their father said unto them, —Return buy for us a little food.
ac ke sou lal Jacob kangla nufon wheat ma utuku Egypt me ah, Jacob el fahk nu sin tulik mukul natul, “Tal sifilpa folokla ac molema pac kutu mongo ah nasr.”
3 Then spake Judah unto him saying, —The man, did protest, to us saying—Ye shall not see my face, except, your brother, is with you.
Ac Judah el fahk nu sel, “Mwet sac fahkma kalem na nu sesr lah kut tia ku in sifilpa utyak nu ye mutal tamulel se lasr inge fin tia wi kut.
4 If thou art sending our brother with us, we will certainly go down, and buy for thee food;
Kom fin lela tamulel se lasr inge in wi kut, na kut ac som moul mongo.
5 but, if thou art not sending him, we will not go down, for the man, said unto us Ye shall not see my face, except, your brother, is with you.
A kom fin tia lela, na kut tia som, mweyen mwet sac fahkma nu sesr mu ac fah tiana filfilla kut in utyak ye mutal ma lesr fin tia wi kut.”
6 And Israel said, Wherefore did ye ill to me, —to tell the man, there yet remained to you a brother?
Jacob el fahk, “Efu ku komtal fahkang nu sin mwet sac lah oasr pac tamulel se lomtal, oru arulana upa nu sik?”
7 And they said, The man, did ask, concerning ourselves and concerning our kindred saying—Is your father yet alive? Have ye a brother? So we told him according to the tenor of these words. Could we, at all know, that he would say, Bring down your brother?
Elos fahk, “Mwet sac sikalani na in siyuk kacsr ac ke sou lasr uh. El fahk, ‘Ku papa tomomtal an srakna moul? Ku oasr pac tamulel lomtal saya?’ Kut enenu na in topuk kusen siyuk lal inge. Kut ac etu fuka lah el ac sap kut in us tamulel se lasr inge wi kut?”
8 Then said Judah unto Israel his father—Come! send thou down the young man with me that we may arise and go our way, —and live and not die, both we and thou and our little ones.
Judah el fahk nu sin papa tumal, “Fuhlelma elan wiyu, ac kut ac fah mukuiyak ingena. Na ac fah wangin sesr misa ke masrinsral.
9 I, will be surety for him, at my hand, shalt thou require him, —as surely as I bring him not in unto thee, and set him down before thee, so surely will I be counted a sinner against thee all the days,
Nga ac wulewot ke moul luk sifacna, lah ma kunuk in fosrngakunul ac karinganul tuh in wangin ma el sis nwe ke na nga folokunulma nu yurum. Fin tia ouinge, lela mwata in oan fuk nwe tok.
10 For, if we had not lingered, surely now, had we come back here a second time.
Kut funu tia kolokin nwe inge, kut lukun som folok pacl luo lac tari.”
11 Then Israel their father said unto them—If so, then do this, —Take of the song of the land in your vessels, and carry down to the man a present, —A little balsam and a little honey, tragacanth gum and cistus gum, pistachio nuts, and almonds.
Ac Jacob el fahk nu selos, “Kwal, fin pa na ‘ngan ma ac orek uh, tal us kutu fokinsak ma wo emeet ke acn sesr uh in pak lomtal an, mwe lung nu sel governor: kutu ono keng, kutu honey, mwe akyu mongo, fiten pistachio ac almond.
12 And double silver, take in your hand, —also the silver that was put back in the mouth of your sacks, carry ye back in your hand, peradventure it was an error,
Utuk mani pac in yohk liki meet ah, mweyen komtal enenu in folokunla mani ma oan in pak lomtal ah. Sahp tafongla se pa ma sac.
13 Your brother also, take ye, —and arise go again unto the man.
Us tamulel se lomtal inge, sulaklak fahsrot.
14 And, God Almighty, give you compassion before the man, so shall he send with you, your other brother, and Benjamin. But, as for me, when I am bereaved, I am bereaved!
Lela God Kulana Elan oru in oasr pakomuta lun mwet sac nu sumtal, elan ma folokunulot Benjamin ac tamulel se ngia nu sumtal. Ac funu nga, tulik nutik uh fin nuna ma ac tuhlac likiyu, na ac fuka oreya.”
15 So the men took this present, double silver also, took they in their hand and Benjamin, —and arose and went down into Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
Ouinge tamulel inge eis mwe lung ac mani pacl luo yohk liki meet ah, ac mukuiyak nu Egypt, ac Benjamin el welulos. Ke elos sun acn we, elos utyak na nwe ye mutal Joseph.
16 And Joseph saw—with them—Benjamin, so he said to him that was over his house Bring the men into the house, —and slay meat and make ready, for with me, shall the men eat at noon.
Ke Joseph el liyalak Benjamin lah el welulos, el fahk nu sin mwet kulansap se su taran ma nukewa lohm sel ah, “Usla mwet inge nu lohm ah. Elos ac wiyu mongo ke infulwen len uh. Tuh uniya soko kosro ah, ac akoela.”
17 So the men did as Joseph had said, and the man brought the men into Joseph’s house,
Mwet kulansap sac oru oana ke sapkin nu sel. El pwanla tamulel inge nu lohm sel Joseph.
18 Then were the men afraid because they had been brought into the house of Joseph, and they said—For the matter of the silver that came back in our sacks at the beginning, have, we, been brought in, —that he may turn round upon us and fall upon us, and take us for servants and our asses.
Ke utukla elos nu lohm sac, elos sangeng ac nunku in elos sifacna, “Utuku kut nu inse inge ke sripen mani ma tuh oan in pak lasr ke fahsr se lasr meet ah. Elos ac forma uni kut, eisla donkey natusr uh, ac oru kut in mwet kohs lun leum sac.”
19 So they drew near unto the man that was over Joseph’s house, —and spake unto him at the entrance of the house;
Ouinge ke elos sun acn in utyak nu in lohm ah, elos fahk nu sin mwet kulansap sac,
20 and said, May it please my lord! We, did indeed come down, at the beginning to buy food.
“Leum se, nunak munas porongekut. Kut tuh tuku pac nu inge meet in moul mongo.
21 And it came to pass when we had entered into the inn, that we opened our sacks, and lo! the silver of each man, in the mouth of his sack, —our silver in its full weight, —so we have bought it back in our hand!
Ke kut folok nu yen sesr, ac tui inkanek lasr in mongla ke fongeni, kut konauk mani lasr ah nufon, oanna oelucng in pak lun kais sie sesr. Pa kut folokonma inge.
22 And, more silver, have we brought down in our hand, to buy food, —we know not who put our silver in our sacks.
Kut oayapa utuk mani saya in tuh sifil moli kutu mongo ah. Kut tiana etu lah su tuh folokonang mani ah nu in pak lasr ah.”
23 And he said—Peace to you do not fear! Your God, and the God of your father, hath given you secret treasure, in your sacks, as for your silver, it came in unto me. And he brought forth unto them Simeon.
Mwet kulansap sac fahk, “Nimet elya kac. Nimet sangeng. Sahp God lowos, God lun papa tomowos, pa filiya mani an in pak lowos ah. Nga sruokya tari molin ma kowos eis meet ah.” Na el usalu Simeon nu yorolos.
24 So the man brought the men into Joseph’s house, —and gave them water and they bathed their feet, and he gave them provender for their asses.
Mwet kulansap sac usak tamulel ekasr ah nu in lohm ah. El sang kof nu selos in ohlla nialos, ac el kiteya donkey natulos.
25 And they made ready the present, against the coming in of Joseph at noon, —for they heard that it was there they should eat bread.
Elos akoela mwe lung lalos ah, in sang nu sel Joseph ke el ac tuku ke infulwen len ah, mweyen fwackyang tari nu selos lah elos ac welul mongo.
26 So when Joseph came into the house, they brought in to him the present which was in their hand into the house, —and bowed themselves down to him to the earth.
Ke Joseph el sun lohm ah, elos us mwe lung lalos uh nu sel, ac pasrla nwe infohk uh ye mutal.
27 Then asked he after their welfare, and said—Is it well with your aged father, of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
El siyuk selos lah elos fuka, na el sifil fahk, “Komtal tuh fahk nu sik ke matuoh lun papa tomomtal ah. El fuka? El srakna moul ac ku na?”
28 And they said—It is well with thy servant our father, he is yet alive. And they bent their heads and bowed them-selves down.
Elos fahk, “Papa tumasr, mwet kulansap lom, el srakna moul ac el ku na.” Na elos muta liplipi ac pasrla nwe ten ye mutal.
29 Then lifted he up his eyes, and saw Benjamin his brother son of his mother, and said—Is, this, your youngest brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God, grant thee favour my son!
Ke Joseph el liyalak Benjamin, ma lel, el fahk, “Ya pa inge tamulel se ma fusr emeet lomtal, ma komtal srumun nu sik ah? Ma nutik, God Elan akinsewowoye kom.”
30 And Joseph made haste for his compassions towards his brother were pent up, and he sought to weep, —so he went into the inner chamber and wept there,
Na Joseph el kina tuyak ac som lukelos, mweyen el arulana asroela tulik wial inge, ac apkuran elan tungyak. Ouinge el som nu infukil sel ac tung we.
31 Then bathed he his face and came forth, —and restrained himself, and said Set on bread!
Tukun el twanla mutal el ilme ac liksreni kutong nunak lal, ac sapkin in tari yuyui mongo uh.
32 So they set on for him—by himself, and for them—by themselves, —and for the Egyptians that were eating with him—by themselves, for the Egyptians might not eat, bread, with the Hebrews for an abomination, had that been to Egyptians.
Kitakat Joseph ke sie tepu uh, ac tamulel lal ah ke sie pacna tepu. Mwet Egypt ma welulos mongo uh srengla liki mwet inge ac mongo ke sie pacna tepu, ke sripen elos filiya in nunak lalos mu mwet Hebrew uh kupansuwol in welulos mongo.
33 So they took their seats before him, the firstborn, according to his birthright and the youngest, according to his youth, —and the men looked with amazement, each one at his companion.
Tamulel inge muta ke tepu se, forang nu yorol Joseph, tuh na eltal muta tak in na matwa, matu nwe ke fusr. Ke elos akilen ouiyen mutangalos, elos tukeni angetani ac arulana fwefela.
34 And he sent portions from before him unto them, and the portion of Benjamin exceeded the portions of them all, five-fold. And they drank and made merry with him.
Mwe mongo uh kitakat nu selos liki tepu lal Joseph, ac kitakat Benjamin pacl limekosr yohk liki mwet wial ah nukewa. Ouinge elos welul Joseph mongo ac nim, nwe ke na elos arulana sruhila.
