Genesis 43
1 The famine in Canaan got worse.
Hilabihan na kaayo ang kagutom sa yuta.
2 Finally, when Jacob and his family had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, Jacob said to them, “Go back to Egypt and buy some more grain for us!”
Niabot ang higayon sa dihang ila nang nahurot ug kaon ang mga trigo nga ilang gidala gikan sa Ehipto, miingon kanila ang ilang amahan, “Lakaw pag-usab; pagpalit ug pagkaon alang kanato.”
3 But Judah said to him, “The man who sold us the grain warned us sternly, ‘I will not let you see me [SYN] again if you come and your younger brother is not with you.’
Miingon si Juda kaniya, “Ang tawo nagpasidaan pag-ayo kanamo, 'Dili kamo makakita sa akong dagway gawas kung kauban ninyo ang inyong igsoong lalaki.'
4 So, if you will send our younger brother with us, we will go down to Egypt and buy some grain for you.
Kung imong ipauban ang among igsoong lalaki kanamo, molugsong kami ug palitan ka namo ug pagkaon.
5 But if you will not send him, we will not go down there, because that man said to us, ‘I will not let you see me again if your younger brother is not with you.’”
Apan kung dili mo siya ipauban, dili kami molugsong. Kay miingon kanamo ang tawo, 'Dili kamo makakita sa akong dagway gawas kung inyong kauban ang inyong igsoong lalaki.'”
6 Jacob asked, “Why did you cause me to have this trouble by telling the man that you had a younger brother?”
Miingon si Israel, “Nganong dili man maayo ang inyong pagtagad kanako pinaagi sa pag-ingon sa tawo nga aduna pa kamoy usa pa ka igsoong lalaki?”
7 One of them replied, “The man asked about us and about our family. He said, ‘Is your father still living? Do you have another brother?’ We had to answer his questions. (We could not know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’/How could we know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’)” [RHQ]
Miingon sila, “Nangutana pag-ayo ang tawo mahitungod kanamo ug sa atong pamilya. Miingon siya, 'Buhi pa ba ang inyong amahan? Aduna pa ba kamoy igsoong lalaki?' Gitubag namo siya sumala niini nga mga pangutana. Unsaon man namo pagkasayod nga moingon siya, 'Dad-a palugsong ang inyong igsoong lalaki?”'
8 Then Judah said to his father Jacob, “Send the boy with me, and we will go immediately, in order that we and you and our children may get grain and not die from hunger.
Miingon si Juda kang Israel nga iyang amahan, “Ipadala uban kanako ang batang lalaki. Motindog kami ug molakaw aron mabuhi kita ug dili mangamatay, kami, ikaw, ug ang among mga kabataan usab.
9 I myself will guarantee that he will return. You can require me to do what I am promising [IDM]. If I do not bring him back to you safely, you can say forever that (I am to blame/it was my fault [that he did not return to you)].
Magpasalig ako alang kaniya. Manubag ako kanimo. Kung dili ko siya madala balik kanimo ug mapakita siya diha sa imong atubangan, unya ipapas-an kanako ang pagbasol hangtod sa hangtod.
10 If we had not (wasted so much time/waited so long), by now we could have gone there and returned two times!”
Kay kung wala kita maglangay, sa pagkatinuod lang nakabalik na unta kami karon dinhi sa ikaduhang higayon.”
11 Then their father Jacob said to them, “If there is no other way, do this: Put in your sacks some of the best things that are grown in this land, and take them down to the man as a gift. Take some balm/perfume and honey and spices and myrrh/ointment, some pistachio nuts, and almonds.
Ang ilang amahan nga si Israel miingon kanila, “Kung mao kana, himoa kini karon. Pagkuha ug pipila ka pinakamaayong abot sa yuta ug ibutang sa inyong panudlanan. Pagdala palugsong ug gasa ngadto sa tawo: pipila nga lana ug dugos, mga lamas ug mira, mga pistasio nga mani ug mga almendras nga mani.
12 Take twice as much money as you took the previous time, because you must return the silver that someone put in the tops of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake that it was put in your sacks.
Pagdala ug doble nga salapi ug dad-a pag-usab ang salapi nga gibalik sa sulod sa inyong mga sako. Basin sayop lamang kini.
13 Take your younger brother and go back to that man.
Dad-a usab ang inyong igsoong lalaki. Tindog ug lakaw pag-usab ngadto sa tawo.
14 I will pray that God Almighty will cause that man to act mercifully toward you, so that he will let your other brother, as well as Benjamin, come back here with you. But as for me, if my sons are taken from me, then I will not have my sons!”
Hinaot pa nga ang Dios nga Makagagahom maghatag kaninyo ug kaluoy sa atubangan sa tawo, aron iyang buhian ang usa pa ninyo ka igsoong lalaki ug si Benjamin. Kung ako mawad-an sa akong mga anak, mawad-an gayod ako.”
15 So the men took the gifts that Jacob said that they should take, and twice the amount of money that the grain would cost, and they also took Benjamin. They went down quickly to Egypt, and they stood in front of Joseph.
Gikuha sa mga tawo kini nga mga gasa, ug gidoble nila ang kantidad sa salapi, ug gidala si Benjamin. Migikan sila ug milugsong paingon sa Ehipto ug mibarog atubangan kang Jose.
16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the man who (was in charge of/supervised) things in his house, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare a meal, because I want them to eat with me at noon.” [And he told him in what order they were to be seated].
Sa dihang nakita ni Jose si Benjamin uban kanila, miingon siya sa piniyalan sa iyang balay, “Dad-a ang mga tawo didto sa balay, pag-ihaw ug hayop ug andama kini, kay ang mga tawo mokaon uban kanako sa paniudto.”
17 The man did as Joseph said. And he took them to Joseph’s house.
Gihimo sa piniyalan kung unsa ang gisulti ni Jose. Iyang gidala ang mga tawo didto sa balay ni Jose.
18 But they were afraid because he was taking them to Joseph’s house. They were thinking, “He is taking us here because of the silver that was put in our sacks the first time that we came here. While we are eating, he will have his servants attack us and seize us and cause us to become his slaves, and also take our donkeys.”
Nangahadlok ang mga tawo tungod kay gidala man sila didto sa balay ni Jose. Miingon sila, “Tungod kini sa salapi nga gibalik sa atong mga sako sa unang higayon nga gidala kita dinhi, aron makakita siya ug higayon batok kanato. Basin ug iya kitang dakpon ug kuhaon kita aron mahimong ulipon, ug kuhaon ang atong mga asno.”
19 They went with the man who was in charge of things in Joseph’s house. When they arrived at the entrance of the house,
Miduol sila sa piniyalan sa balay ni Jose, ug nakigsulti sila kaniya diha sa pultahan sa balay,
20 one of them said to him, “Please, sir, listen to me. We came down here previously and bought some grain.
nga naga-ingon, “Among agalon, milugsong kami dinhi sa unang higayon aron mopalit ug pagkaon.
21 But at the place where we stopped for the night as we were returning home, we opened our sacks. We were astonished to see that in the top of each of our sacks was the exact amount of silver that we had paid for the grain! So we have brought it back with us.
Ug nahitabo kini, nga sa dihang nahiabot kami sa dapit nga among gipahulayan, nga among giablihan ang among mga sako, ug, tan-awa, ang matag salapi sa tawo anaa sa sulod sa iyang sako, ang among salapi anaa sa sakto nga kantidad. Gidala namo kini pagbalik.
22 We have also brought more silver with us to buy more grain. We do not know who put the silver in our sacks.”
Nagdala na usab kami palugsong ug dugang nga salapi aron pagpalit ug pagkaon. Wala kami masayod kung si kinsa ang nagsulod sa among salapi sa among mga sako.”
23 The man replied, [“Relax]! Do not worry about it! I received the silver that you brought. Your God, the God your father worships, must have put it in your sacks.” And then he brought Simeon to them from the prison.
Miingon ang piniyalan, “Magmalinawon kamo, ayaw kamo kahadlok. Ang inyong Dios ug ang Dios sa inyong amahan mao ang nagsulod sa inyong salapi sa inyong mga sako.” Akong nadawat ang inyong salapi.” Unya gidala pagawas sa piniyalan si Simeon ngadto kanila.
24 Then he took them into Joseph’s house. He gave them water to wash their feet and gave them food for the donkeys.
Gidala sa piniyalan ang mga tawo didto sa balay ni Jose. Gihatagan niya sila ug tubig, ug nanghugas sila sa ilang mga tiil. Gihatagan niya ug pagkaon ang ilang mga asno.
25 He told them that they were going to eat with Joseph at noon. So the men prepared their gifts to give to Joseph when he arrived.
Ug giandam nila ang mga gasa kay moabot si Jose sa pagka-udto, kay nadungog nila nga mokaon sila didto.
26 When Joseph came home, they presented to him the gifts that they had brought into the house. Then they bowed down to the ground in front of him.
Sa dihang nahiabot si Jose sa iyang panimalay, gidala nila ang mga gasa nga anaa kanila didto sa balay, ug miyukbo sa iyang atubangan.
27 He asked them if they were (well/in good health), and then he asked, “How is the health of your old father, the one that you told me about? Is he still living?”
Nangutana siya mahitungod sa ilang kahimtang ug miingon, “Maayo ba ang kahimtang sa inyong amahan, kadtong tigulang na nga lalaki nga inyong giingon? Buhi pa ba siya?”
28 One of them replied, “Yes, our father, [who is willing to be] your servant, is still alive, and he is well.” Then again they bowed down in front of him.
Miingon sila, “Ang imong sulugoon nga among amahan anaa sa maayong kahimtang. Buhi pa siya.” Unya mihapa ug miyukbo.
29 Then he saw his [younger] brother Benjamin, his own mother’s other son. He asked them, “Is this your youngest brother, the one whom you told me about?” After they said “Yes,” he said to Benjamin, “Young man, I pray that God will act kindly toward you.”
Sa dihang giyahat niya ang iyang mga mata iyang nakita si Benjamin nga iyang igsoon, ang anak nga lalaki sa iyang inahan, ug siya miingon, “Mao ba kini ang inyong kinamanghorang igsoon nga inyong gisugilon kanako?” Ug unya miingon siya, “Hinaot nga ang Dios maluoy kanimo, akong anak.”
30 Joseph quickly left the room. He realized that he was about to cry because he (was full of emotion about his younger brother/loved his younger brother so much). He went into his private room and cried there.
Nagdali si Jose nga migawas sa lawak, kay naluoy siya pag-ayo sa iyang igsoong lalaki. Nangita siya ug luna aron mohilak. Miadto siya sa iyang lawak ug mihilak didto.
31 Then, after he washed the tears from his face, he came out, and controlling his emotions, he said to the servants, “Serve the food!”
Nanghilam-os siya ug migawas. Gipugngan niya ang iyang kaugalingon, nga nag-ingon, “Idalit ang pagkaon.”
32 The people of Egypt considered that it was disgraceful for them to eat with Hebrews, so the servants served food to Joseph by himself, and served the other people of Egypt who ate with him by themselves, and they served Joseph’s older brothers and younger brother by themselves.
Gidalit sa mga sulugoon ang pagkaon nga alang lamang kang Jose ug alang usab sa iyang mga igsoong lalaki. Nangaon usab didto ang mga Ehiptohanon uban kang Jose tungod kay dili man sila makakaon ug tinapay kauban sa mga Hebreo, kay makauulaw kana alang sa mga Ehiptohanon.
33 His brothers were astonished to see that their seats were arranged according to their ages, from the oldest to the youngest!
Naglingkod ang mga managsoong lalaki sa iyang atubangan, sa pinaka- kamagulangan sumala sa iyang katungod sa pagkamagulang, ug sa pinaka-kamanghoran sumala sa ilang pagkabatan-on. Nahibulong ang mga tawo.
34 And when their portions of food were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as anyone else’s portion! So they ate food and drank wine with Joseph and became very cheerful.
Nagpadala si Jose kanila ug bahin sa mga pagkaon nga anaa sa iyang atubangan. Apan ang bahin ni Benjamin adunay kalimahon ang kadaghan kaysa sa iyang mga igsoong lalaki. Miinom sila ug nagmalipayon uban kaniya.
