Genesis 43

1 The famine in Canaan got worse.

At ang kagutom ay mahigpit sa lupain.

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!”

At nangyari, nang makain na nila ang trigong kanilang dinala mula sa Egipto, na sinabi sa kanila ng kanilang ama, Kayo'y pumaroong muli, ibili ninyo tayo ng kaunting pagkain.

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.’

At si Juda ay nagsalita sa kaniya, na sinasabi, Ipinahayag sa aming mahigpit ng lalaking yaon, na sinasabi, Hindi ninyo makikita ang aking mukha, maliban na ipagsama ninyo ang inyong kapatid.

4 So, if you will send our younger brother with us, we will go down to Egypt and buy some grain for you.

Kung pasasamahin mo sa amin ang aming kapatid, ay bababa kami, at ibibili ka namin ng pagkain.

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.’”

Datapuwa't kung hindi mo paparoroonin ay hindi kami bababa: sapagka't sinabi sa amin ng lalaking yaon, Hindi ninyo makikita ang aking mukha, malibang kasama ninyo ang inyong kapatid.

6 Jacob asked, “Why did you cause me to have this trouble by telling the man that you had a younger brother?”

At sinabi ni Israel, Bakit ninyo ako ginawan ng masama, na inyong sinabi sa lalake na mayroon pa kayong ibang kapatid?

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]

At kanilang sinabi, Tinanong kami ng buong siyasat, tungkol sa amin, at tungkol sa aming kamaganakan, na sinasabi, Buhay pa ba ang inyong ama? May iba pa ba kayong kapatid? At isinaysay namin sa kaniya ayon sa mga salitang ito: saan namin malalaman, kaniyang sasabihin, Ibababa ninyo rito ang inyong kapatid?

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.

At sinabi ni Juda kay Israel na kaniyang ama. Pasamahin mo sa akin ang bata at kami ay magsisitindig at magsisiyaon; upang tayo'y mabuhay at huwag mamatay, kami, at ikaw, at gayon din ang aming mga bata.

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)].

Ako ang mananagot sa kaniya; sa aking kamay hahanapin mo siya; kung hindi ko ibalik sa iyo, at ilagay sa harap mo, ay pasanin ko ang sala magpakailan pa man:

10 If we had not (wasted so much time/waited so long), by now we could have gone there and returned two times!”

Sapagka't kung hindi tayo nagluwat, ay nakapagbalik na kaming makalawa.

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.

At sinabi sa kanila ng kanilang amang si Israel, Kung gayon, ngayo'y gawin ninyo ito: magdala kayo sa inyong bayong ng mga piling bunga ng lupain, at dalhan ninyo ang lalaking yaon ng kaloob, ng kaunting balsamo at kaunting pulot, pabango, at mirra, mga pile at almendras.

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.

At magdala kayo ng ibayong halaga ng salapi sa inyong kamay; at ang salaping nabalik sa labi ng inyong mga bayong ay dalhin ninyong muli sa inyong kamay; marahil ay kalituhan:

13 Take your younger brother and go back to that man.

Dalhin din ninyo ang inyong kapatid, at magtindig kayo at pumaroon kayong muli sa lalaking yaon.

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!”

At pagkalooban nawa kayo ng Dios na Makapangyarihan sa lahat ng kaawaan sa harap ng lalaking yaon, upang isauli sa inyo ang inyong isang kapatid at si Benjamin. At kung mawalan ako ng mga anak, ay mawalan 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.

At dinala ng mga lalake ang kaloob na yaon, at ibayong halaga ng salapi ang dinala sa kanilang kamay, at si Benjamin; at nagsipagtindig, at nagsibaba sa Egipto, at nagsiharap kay 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].

At nang makita ni Jose si Benjamin na kasama nila, ay sinabi niya sa katiwala ng kaniyang bahay: Dalhin mo ang mga lalaking iyan sa bahay, at magpatay ka ng mga hayop, at ihanda mo; sapagka't ang mga lalaking iyan ay magsisipananghaling kasalo ko.

17 The man did as Joseph said. And he took them to Joseph’s house.

At ginawa ng lalake ang ayon sa iniutos sa kaniya ni Jose; at dinala ng katiwala ang mga lalaking yaon sa bahay 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.”

At ang mga lalake ay nangatakot, sapagka't sila'y dinala sa bahay ni Jose; kanilang sinabi: Dahil sa salaping isinauli sa ating mga bayong ng una, ay dinala tayo rito; upang hanapan tayo ng dahilan, at tayo'y ibagsak niya, at tayo'y ariin niyang mga alipin, at pati ng atin 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,

At sila'y nagsilapit sa katiwala ng bahay ni Jose, at kinausap nila sa pintuan ng bahay.

20 one of them said to him, “Please, sir, listen to me. We came down here previously and bought some grain.

At sinabi nila, Oh panginoon ko, tunay na kami ay bumaba ng una na bumili ng pagkain:

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.

At nangyari, nang dumating kami sa tuluyan, na binuksan namin ang aming mga bayong, at, narito, ang salapi ng bawa't isa sa amin ay nasa labi ng kanikaniyang bayong, ang salapi namin sa tunay na timbang: at aming muling dinala sa aming kamay.

22 We have also brought more silver with us to buy more grain. We do not know who put the silver in our sacks.”

At nagdala kami ng ibang salapi sa aming kamay upang ibili ng pagkain; hindi namin nalalaman kung sino ang naglagay ng aming salapi sa aming mga bayong.

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.

At kaniyang sinabi, Mapayapa kayo; huwag kayong matakot, ang Dios ninyo at ang Dios ng inyong ama ang nagbigay sa inyo ng kayamanang natatago sa inyong mga bayong: tinanggap ko ang inyong salapi. At inilabas si Simeon sa 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.

At dinala ng katiwala ang mga lalake sa bahay ni Jose, at sila'y binigyan ng tubig, at nangaghugas ng kanilang mga paa; at binigyan ng pagkain ang kanilang 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.

At kanilang inihanda ang kaloob sa pagdating ni Jose sa tanghali; sapagka't kanilang narinig na doon sila magsisikain ng tinapay.

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.

At nang dumating si Jose sa bahay, ay dinala nila sa kaniya sa loob ng bahay, ang kaloob na nasa kanilang kamay, at sila'y nagpatirapa sa harap niya.

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?”

At sila'y kaniyang tinanong tungkol sa kanilang kalagayan, at sinabi, Wala bang sakit ang inyong ama, ang matanda na inyong sinalita? buhay pa ba?

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.

At kanilang sinabi, Walang sakit ang iyong lingkod na aming ama, buhay pa. At sila'y nagsiyukod at nagsigalang.

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.”

At itiningin niya ang kaniyang mga mata, at nakita si Benjamin na kapatid niya, na anak ng kaniyang ina, at sinabi, Ito ba ang inyong kapatid na bunso, na inyong sinalita sa akin? At kaniyang sinabi, Pagpalain ka nawa ng Dios, anak ko.

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.

At nagmadali si Jose; sapagka't nagniningas ang kaniyang loob dahil sa kaniyang kapatid: at humanap ng dakong maiiyakan; at pumasok sa kaniyang silid, at umiyak doon.

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!”

At siya'y naghilamos at lumabas; at nagpigil ng loob, at nagsabi, Maghain kayo ng tinapay.

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.

At kanilang hinainan siyang bukod, at silang bukod, at ang mga Egipcio na kumakaing kasama niya ay bukod: sapagka't ang mga taga Egipcio ay hindi makakaing kasalo ng mga Hebreo; sapagka't kasuklamsuklam ito sa mga Egipcio.

33 His brothers were astonished to see that their seats were arranged according to their ages, from the oldest to the youngest!

At sila'y nagsiupo sa harap niya, ang panganay ayon sa kaniyang pagkapanganay, at ang bunso ayon sa kaniyang pagkabunso: at ang mga lalake ay nangamamangha na nagtitinginan.

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.

At sila'y idinampot ni Jose sa harap niya ng mga ulam: datapuwa't ang ulam ni Benjamin ay humihigit kay sa mga bahagi ng alin man sa kanila ng makalima. At nangaginuman at nangakipagkatuwa sa kaniya.
