Jenesis 43
1 Ma ụnwụ a siri oke ike nʼala ahụ nʼoge a.
And the derth waxed sore in the lande.
2 O ruo, mgbe ha richara nri ha zụtara nʼIjipt, nna ha gwara ha sị, “Jeghachinụ, zụtara anyị ntakịrị nri.”
And when they had eate vp that corne which they brought out of the lande of Egipte their father sayde vnto them: goo agayne and by vs a litle food.
3 Juda gwara nna ya bụ Jekọb sị, “Nwoke ahụ dọsiri anyị aka na ntị ike sị, ‘Unu agaghị ahụ ihu m ma ọ bụrụ na nwanne unu esoghị unu bịa.’
Than sayde Iuda vnto him: the man dyd testifie vnto vs saynge: loke that ye see not my face excepte youre brother be with you.
4 Ọ bụrụ na ị ga-edunyere anyị nwanne anyị, anyị ga-agbada gaa zụtara gị nri.
Therfore yf thou wilt sende oure brother with vs we wyll goo and bye the food.
5 Ma ọ bụrụ na ị gaghị edunyere anyị ya, anyị agaghị agbada, nʼihi na nwoke a sịrị anyị, ‘Unu agaghị ahụ ihu m ma ọ bụrụ na nwanna unu esoghị unu.’”
But yf thou wylt not sende him we wyll not goo: for the man sayde vnto vs: loke that ye see not my face excepte youre brother be with you.
6 Mgbe ahụ Izrel sịrị, “Gịnị mere unu ji wetara m nsogbu dị otu a, site nʼịgwa nwoke ahụ na unu nwere nwanne ọzọ.”
And Israell sayde: wherfore delt ye so cruelly with me as to tell the man that ye had yet another brother?
7 Ha zara sị, “Nwoke a jụrụ anyị ajụjụ dị iche iche banyere onwe anyị, na ndị ezinaụlọ anyị. Ọ sị, ‘Nna unu, ọ dị ndụ ugbu a? Unu nwere nwanne ọzọ?’ Ya mere, anyị zara ajụjụ niile. O nweghị otu anyị siri mara na ọ ga-asị anyị kpọta nwanne anyị.”
And they sayde: The man asked vs of oure kynred saynge: is youre father yet alyue? haue ye not another brother? And we tolde him acordynge to these wordes. How cowd we knowe that he wolde byd vs brynge oure brother downe with vs?
8 Mgbe ahụ, Juda sịrị nna ya Izrel, “Dunye m nwantakịrị a ka anyị bilie gawa, ka anyị dị ndụ ghara ịnwụ, ma anyị onwe anyị, ma gị, ma ụmụntakịrị anyị.
Than sayde Iuda vnto Israell his father: Send the lad with me and we wyll ryse and goo that we maye lyue and not dye: both we thou and also oure childern.
9 Aga m eji onwe m gbaa ebe nʼihi ya. I nwere ike itife ya nʼaka m. Ọ bụrụ na m akpọtaghachighị ya, kpọbata ya nʼihu gị, mgbe ahụ, ịta ụta bụrụ nke m nʼihu gị, nʼụbọchị ndụ m niile.
I wilbe suertie for him and of my handes requyre him. Yf I brynge him not to the and sett him before thine eyes than let me bere the blame for euer.
10 A sị nnọọ na anyị egbughị oge niile a, anyị gaara aga ma lọtakwarị ugboro abụọ.”
For except we had made this tarieg: by this we had bene there twyse and come agayne.
11 Mgbe ahụ nna ha Izrel gwara ha sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ọ ga-adịrịrị otu a, gịnị ọzọ ka anyị ga-eme. Kama mgbe unu na-aga, werenụ nʼakpa unu onyinye ịnata ihuọma nke bụ ihe niile kachasị mma nke si nʼala a welaara nwoke a. Werenụ nwantịntị mmanụ otite, na nwantịntị mmanụ aṅụ, ha na ụda dị iche iche, na eso osisi máá, na akụ, na alụmọnd.
Than their father Israel sayde vnto the Yf it must nedes be so now: than do thus take of the best frutes of the lande in youre vesselles and brynge the man a present a curtesie bawlme and a curtesie of hony spyces and myrre dates and almondes.
12 Werekwanụ ego okpukpu abụọ nʼaka unu. Weghachirinụ ya ego ahụ e tinyere nʼọnụ akpa unu, eleghị anya ọ bụ nʼohihie anya ka ha ji tinye ya.
And take as moch money more with you. And the money that was brought agayne in youre sackes take it agayne with you in youre handes peraduenture it was some ouersyghte.
13 Ngwa, kpọrọnụ nwanne unu nwoke bilienụ laghachikwurunụ nwoke ahụ.
Take also youre brother with you and aryse and goo agayne to the man.
14 Ka Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, mee ka nwoke ahụ nwee obi ebere nʼebe unu nọ. Ya meekwa ka o nwee ike ịhapụrụ unu nwanne unu Simiọn na Benjamin ka ha soro unu lọta. Ọ bụrụkwanụ uche Chineke na m ga-agbara aka ụmụ, ya mee dịka o si chọọ.”
And God almightie geue you mercie in the sighte of the man and send you youre other brother and also Be Iamin and I wilbe as a ma robbed of his childern.
15 Ya mere, ndị ikom ahụ weere onyinye ndị a, na okpukpu ego abụọ nʼaka, ma kpọrọkwa Benjamin. Ha biliri ije. Garuo Ijipt, ma guzo nʼihu Josef.
Thus toke they the present and twise so moch more money with them and Ben Iamin. And rose vp went downe to Egipte and presented them selfe to Ioseph.
16 Mgbe Josef lepụrụ anya hụ Benjamin nʼetiti ha, ọ gwara onye na-elekọta ụlọ ya sị, “Duru ndị ikom ndị a gaa nʼụlọ. Gbuo anụ, kwadoo nri, nʼihi na ndị a ga-eso m rie nri ehihie.”
When Ioseph sawe Ben Iamin with them he sayde to the ruelar of his house: brynge these men home and sley and make redie: for they shall dyne with me at none.
17 Odibo a mere dịka Josef ziri ya. O duuru ndị ikom ndị ahụ gaa nʼụlọ Josef.
And the man dyd as Ioseph bad and brought them in to Iosephs house.
18 Nʼoge a, mgbe a kpọbatara ha nʼụlọ, ndị ikom ndị ahụ tụrụ ụjọ, nʼihi na a kpọbatara ha nʼime ụlọ Josef. Ha sịrị, “Ọ bụ nʼihi ego ahụ e tighachiri nʼakpa anyị nʼoge mbụ ka e ji kpọbata anyị, ka o nwee ike ịchọta ụzọ ọ ga-esi megide anyị, mesie anyị ike, si otu a were anyị na ịnyịnya ibu anyị dịka ndị ohu ya.”
When they were brought to Iosephs house they were afrayde ad sayde: be cause of the money yt came in oure sackes mouthes at the first tyme are we brought to pyke a quarell with vs and to laye some thinge to oure charge: to brynge us in bondage and oure asses also.
19 Ha bịaruru odibo Josef ahụ nso gwa ya okwu nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ahụ.
Therfore came they to the man that was the ruelar ouer Iosephs house and comened with him at the doore
20 Ha sịrị ya, “Nna anyị ukwu, anyị bịara ebe a nʼoge mbụ ịzụ ihe oriri.
and sayde: Sir we came hither at the first tyme to bye foode
21 Ma, mgbe anyị rutere ebe anyị nọrọ ọnọdụ abalị, anyị meghere akpa anyị, chọpụta ego anyị kwụrụ nʼihi nri ahụ anyị zụrụ ka ọ dị nʼọnụ akpa anyị nʼotu na otu. E sepụkwaghị ya ihe ọ bụla. Ya mere, anyị weghachiri ya nʼoge a.
and as we came to an Inne and opened oure sackes: beholde euery mannes money was in his sacke with full weghte: But we haue broght it agene with us
22 Anyị jikwa ego ọzọ anyị ga-eji zụọ ihe oriri. Ma anyị amaghị onye tinyere ego ahụ nʼime akpa anyị.”
and other mony haue we brought also in oure handes to bye foode but we can not tell who put oure money in oure sackes.
23 Odibo ahụ zara sị ha, “Udo dịrị unu, unu atụla egwu, nʼihi na Chineke unu, na Chineke nna unu enyela unu akụ zoro ezo nʼime akpa unu. Ego unu kwụrụ ruru m aka.” Mgbe ahụ, ọ hapụrụ ha gaa kpọpụta Simiọn.
And he sayde: be of good chere feare not: Youre God and the God of youre fathers hath put you that treasure in youre sackes for I had youre money. And he brought Simeon out to them
24 Nʼoge ahụ, odibo ahụ duuru ndị ikom ndị ahụ bata nʼụlọ Josef, nye ha mmiri ha ji saa ụkwụ ha. O nyekwara ịnyịnya ibu ha nri.
ad led the into Iosephs house and gaue the water to washe their fete and gaue their asses prauender:
25 Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Jekọb kwadoro onyinye ịnata ihuọma ha ji bịa, nke ha ga-enye Josef ma ọ bata nʼetiti ehihie, nʼihi na ha anụla na ha ga-eri nri nʼebe ahụ.
And they made redie their present agaynst Ioseph came at none for they herde saye that they shulde dyne there.
26 Mgbe Josef lọtara ụlọ, ha wetaara ya onyinye dị nʼaka ha, daa nʼala, kpọọ isiala nye ya.
When Ioseph came home they brought the present in to the house to him which they had in their handes ad fell flat on the grounde befor him.
27 Josef jụrụ ha ajụjụ banyere ọdịmma ha, jụọkwa ha sị, “Agadi nna unu, nke unu gwara m ihe banyere ya, ahụ ọ dịkwa ya? Ọ ka dịkwa ndụ.”
And he welcomed the curteously sainge: is youre father that old man which ye tolde me of in good health? and is he yet alyue?
28 Ha zaghachiri sị ya, “Ahụ dị ohu gị bụ nna anyị. Ọ ka nọ ndụ.” Ha hulatara isi ha, kpọọ isiala nye ya.
they answered: thy servaunte oure father is in good health ad is yet alyue. And they bowed them selues and fell to the grounde.
29 Mgbe Josef welitere anya ya elu hụ nwanne ya Benjamin, onye bụ nwanne afọ ya, ọ jụrụ ha ajụjụ sị, “Onye a ọ bụ nwanne unu nke nta ahụ unu gwara m ihe banyere ya?” Tupu ha asaa ya ihe ọbụla, o lere Benjamin anya sị ya, “Ka amara Chineke dịrị gị, nwa m nwoke.”
And he lyfte vp his eyes and behelde his brother Ben Iamin his mothers sonne and sayde: is this youre yongest brother of whome ye sayde vnto me? And sayde: God be mercyfull vnto ye my sonne.
30 Mgbe ahụ kwa Josef mere ọsịịsọ pụọ nʼezi ịchọ ebe ọ ga-akwa akwa nʼihi na ọhụhụ ọ hụrụ nwanne ya anya ọzọ metụrụ ya nnọọ nʼobi. Ọ pụrụ banye nʼime ụlọ ya kwaa akwa.
And Ioseph made hast (for his hert dyd melt apon his brother) and soughte for to wepe and entred in to his chambre for to wepe there.
31 Emesịa, ọ sara ihu ya, pụta, jisie onwe ya ike nye odibo ya iwu ka o bute nri ahụ.
And he wasshed his face and came out and refrayned himselfe and bad sett bread on the table
32 Ha doziiri ya nri nke ya iche, doziekwara ụmụnne ya nri nke ha iche. Otu a kwa, ha dozikwaara ndị Ijipt ya na ha na-erikọ nri, nri nke ha iche. Nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe arụ nʼanya ndị Ijipt na ha na ndị Hibru ga-erikọta nri ọnụ.
And they prepared for him by himselfe and for them by them selues and for the Egiptians which ate with him by them selues because the Egyptians may not eate bread with the Hebrues for that is an abhomynacyon vnto the Egiptians.
33 Ma mgbe e nyere ha ọnọdụ nʼihu Josef, e mere ka ha nọdụ dịka ha si tọọ ibe ha. Nke ọkpara buru ụzọ nọdụ, onye na-eso ya anọdụkwa. Otu a ka ha niile siri nọdụ ruo nʼonye ikpeazụ nʼime ha. Ha lerịtara onwe ha anya nʼihi na o juru ha anya.
And they satt before him: the eldest acordynge vnto his age and the yongest acordyng vnto his youth. And the men marveled amonge them selves.
34 O sitekwara na nri e doziri ya nyebinye ha nri. Nri e nyere Benjamin dị ukwuu okpukpu ise karịa nri nke e nyere ha niile. Ha na ya riri, ṅụọkwa nʼuju.
And they broughte rewardes vnto them from before him: but Ben Iamins parte was fyue tymes so moch as any of theirs. And they ate and they dronke and were dronke wyth him.
