Genesis 42
1 Ita, naammoan ni Jacob nga adda bukel idiay Egipto. Kinunana kadagiti putotna a lallaki. “Apay ta agkikinnitakayo?”
When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why are you staring at one another?”
2 Kinunana, “Dumngegkayo, nangngegko nga adda bukel idiay Egipto. Sumalogkayo sadiay ket gumatangkayo iti agpaay kadatayo manipud sadiay tapno agbiagtayo a saan ket a matay.”
“Look,” he added, “I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, so that we may live and not die.”
3 Simmalog ngarud dagiti sangapulo a kakabsat ni Jose tapno gumatang iti bukel manipud iti Egipto.
So ten of Joseph’s brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
4 Ngem ni Benjamin a kabsat ni Jose ket saanna a pinasurot kadagiti kakabsatna, ta kinunana, “Amangan no adda dakes a mapasamak kenkuana.”
But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “I am afraid that harm might befall him.”
5 Immay met dagiti annak ni Israel tapno gumatang malaksid pay kadagiti immay, ta adda met panagbisin iti daga ti Canaan.
So the sons of Israel were among those who came to buy grain, since the famine had also spread to the land of Canaan.
6 Ita, ni Jose ti gobernador iti entero a daga. Isuna ti aglaklako kadagiti amin a tattao ti daga. Immay dagiti kakabsat ni Jose ket nagpaklebda iti daga.
Now Joseph was the ruler of the land; he was the one who sold grain to all its people. So when his brothers arrived, they bowed down before him with their faces to the ground.
7 Nakita ni Jose dagiti kakabsatna ket nabigbigna ida, ngem nagpammarang isuna kadakuada ken nagsao isuna iti nagubsang kadakuada. Kinunana kadakuada, “Sadinno ti naggapuanyo?” Kinunada, “Naggapukkami iti daga ti Canaan tapno gumatang iti taraon.”
And when Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he treated them as strangers and spoke harshly to them. “Where have you come from?” he asked. “From the land of Canaan,” they replied. “We are here to buy food.”
8 Nabigbig ni Jose dagiti kakabsatna ngem saanda a nabigbig isuna.
Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.
9 Nalagip ni Jose dagiti tagtagainepna maipapan kadakuada. Kinunana kadakuada, “Espiakayo. Immaykayo tapno kitaenyo ti saan a naguardia-an a paset ti daga.”
Joseph remembered his dreams about them and said, “You are spies! You have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”
10 Kinunada kenkuana, “Saan, apo. Immay dagitoy nga adipenmo a gumatang ti taraon.
“Not so, my lord,” they replied. “Your servants have come to buy food.
11 Putotnakami amin ti maymaysa a tao. Mapagtalkankami a lallaki. Saan nga espia dagitoy adipenmo.”
We are all sons of one man. Your servants are honest men, not spies.”
12 Kinunana kadakuada, “Saan, ngem immaykayo tapno kitaenyo ti saan a naguardia-an a paset ti daga.”
“No,” he told them. “You have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”
13 Kinunada, “Sangapulo ket dua nga agkakabsat dagitoy adipenmo, putotnakami ti maysa a tao idiay daga ti Canaan. Kitaem, kadua ita ti amami ti inaudi a kabsatmi, ket awanen iti daytoy a biag ti maysa pay a kabsatmi.”
But they answered, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is now with our father, and one is no more.”
14 Kinuna ni Jose kadakuada, “Kas nakunakon; espiakayo.
Then Joseph declared, “Just as I said, you are spies!
15 Babaen iti daytoy masubokkayo. Isapatak iti nagan ti Faraon a saankayo a pumanaw ditoy, malaksid no umay ditoy ti inaudi a kabsatyo.
And this is how you will be tested: As surely as Pharaoh lives, you shall not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.
16 Mangibaonkayo iti maysa kadakayo ket mapanna alaen ti kabsatyo. Maibaludkayo tapno masubok dagiti imbagayo, no adda met laeng kinapudno kadakayo, ta no saan, isapatak iti nagan ti Faraon, awan duadua nga espiakayo.”
Send one of your number to get your brother; the rest of you will be confined so that the truth of your words may be tested. If they are untrue, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!”
17 Ket imbaludna amin ida iti tallo nga aldaw.
So Joseph imprisoned them for three days,
18 Iti maikatlo nga aldaw, kinuna ni Jose kadakuada, “Aramidenyo daytoy ket agbiagkayo, ta adda panagbutengko iti Dios.
and on the third day he said to them, “I fear God. So do this and you will live:
19 No mapagtalkankayo a lallaki, mabati ngarud ti maysa kadakayo iti daytoy a pagbaludan, ngem mapankayo, mangawitkayo kadagiti bukel para iti panagbisin kadagiti balbalayyo.
If you are honest, leave one of your brothers in custody while the rest of you go and take back grain to relieve the hunger of your households.
20 Iyegyo ti inaudi a kabsatyo kaniak iti kasta ket mapaneknekan dagiti imbagayo ket saankayo a matay.” Kasta ngarud ti inaramidda.
Then bring your youngest brother to me so that your words can be verified, that you may not die.” And to this they consented.
21 Kinunada iti tunggal maysa, “Pudno a nagbidduttayo maipapan iti inaramidtayo iti kabsattayo ta nakitatayo ti ladingit ti kararuana idi nagpakaasi kadatayo ngem saantayo a dimngeg. Ngarud naisubli kadatayo daytoy a ladingit.
Then they said to one another, “Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw his anguish when he pleaded with us, but we would not listen. That is why this distress has come upon us.”
22 Simmungbat ni Ruben kadakuada, “Saan kadi nga imbagak kadakayo, 'Saankayo nga agaramid iti basol maibusor iti ubing,' ngem saankayonto met gamin a dimngeg? Ita kitaenyo, maisidsidirenkadatayo ti darana.”
And Reuben responded, “Didn’t I tell you not to sin against the boy? But you would not listen. Now we must account for his blood!”
23 Saanda nga ammo a naawatan ida ni Jose, ta adda mangipatpatarus iti nagbabaetanda.
They did not realize that Joseph understood them, since there was an interpreter between them.
24 Pinanawanna ida ket nagsangit. Kalpsanna, nagsubli isuna iti ayanda ket nagsao kadakuada. Innalana ni Simeon kadakuada ket pinaibaludna iti imatangda.
And he turned away from them and wept. When he turned back and spoke to them, he took Simeon from them and had him bound before their eyes.
25 Ket binilin ni Jose dagiti adipenna a punoenda iti bukbukel dagiti sako dagiti kakabsatna, ken isublida ti kuarta ti tunggal maysa a lalaki iti sakona, ken ipaayanda ida iti kasapulanda iti panagdaliasatda. Kasta ngarud ti naaramid para kadakuada.
Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, to return each man’s silver to his sack, and to give them provisions for their journey. This order was carried out,
26 Inkarga dagiti agkakabsat dagiti awitda a bukel kadagiti asnoda ket pimmanawda manipud sadiay.
and they loaded the grain on their donkeys and departed.
27 Iti lugar a naginanaanda, maysa kadakuada ti nanglukat iti sakona tapno pakanenna ti asnona ket nakitana ti kuartana. Adda daytoy iti ngarab ti sakona.
At the place where they lodged for the night, one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver in the mouth of the sack.
28 Kinunana kadagiti kakabsatna, “Naisubli ti kuartak. Kitaenyo daytoy; adda daytoy iti sakok.” Ket uray la agkibbakibbayo ti pusoda ken agpigpigergerda a nagkikinnita. Kinunada, “Ania daytoy nga inaramid ti Dios kadatayo?”
“My silver has been returned!” he said to his brothers. “It is here in my sack.” Their hearts sank, and trembling, they turned to one another and said, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29 Napanda kenni Jacob nga amada nga adda iti daga ti Canaan ket imbagada kenkuana ti amin a napasamak kadakuada. Kinunada,
When they reached their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they described to him all that had happened to them:
30 “Ti lalaki, nga apo ti daga ket sigugubsang a nakisarita kadakami ken impagarupna nga espiakami iti daga.
“The man who is lord of the land spoke harshly to us and accused us of spying on the country.
31 Imbagami kenkuana, 'Mapagtalkankami a lallaki. saankami nga espia.
But we told him, ‘We are honest men, not spies.
32 Sangapulo ket dua kami nga agkakabsat, putotnakami ti amami. Natayen ti maysa kadakami ken ti inaudi a kabsatmi ket adda ita iti ayan ti amami idiay daga ti Canaan.'
We are twelve brothers, sons of one father. One is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.’
33 Ti lalaki nga apo ti daga, kinunana kadakami, 'Babaen iti daytoy ket maammoak no mapagtalkankayo a lallaki. Ibatiyo ti maysa a kabsatyo kaniak, mangalakayo iti bukel para iti panagbisin kadagiti balayyo, ket mapankayo.
Then the man who is lord of the land said to us, ‘This is how I will know whether you are honest: Leave one brother with me, take food to relieve the hunger of your households, and go.
34 Iyegyo ti inaudi a kabsatyo kaniak. Iti kasta ket mapaneknekak a saankayo nga espia, ngem ketdi, mapagtalkankayo a lallaki. Ket wayawayaakto ti kabsatyo ket mabalinkayo a gumatang ken aglako iti daytoy a daga.”'
But bring your youngest brother back to me so I will know that you are not spies but honest men. Then I will give your brother back to you, and you can trade in the land.’”
35 Napasamak nga idi imbukbokda dagiti sakoda ket adtoy, adda iti sako ti tunggal maysa ti nakasupot a kuartada. Idi nakitada ken ti amada dagiti nakasupot a kuartada, nagbutengda.
As they began emptying their sacks, there in each man’s sack was his bag of silver! And when they and their father saw the bags of silver, they were dismayed.
36 Kinuna ti amada a ni Jacob, kadakuada, “Pinagladingitdak kadagiti putotko. Natayen ni Jose, awanen ni Simeon ken iyadayoyo ni Benjamin. Maibusor kaniak amin dagitoy a banbanag.”
Their father Jacob said to them, “You have deprived me of my sons. Joseph is gone and Simeon is no more. Now you want to take Benjamin. Everything is going against me!”
37 Nagsao ni Ruben iti amana, a kunana, “Uray patayemto dagiti dua a putotko a lallaki no saanko a maisubli ni Benjamin kenka. Italekmo isuna kaniak ket isublikto isuna kenka.”
Then Reuben said to his father, “You may kill my two sons if I fail to bring him back to you. Put him in my care, and I will return him.”
38 Kinuna ni Jacob, “Saan a sumurot a sumalog kadakayo ti anakko. Ta natayen ti kabsatna ket isuna laengen ti nabati. No adda dakes a mapasamak kenkuana iti dalanyo, ipandakto, siak a purawen ti buokna, iti sheol gapu iti ladingit.” (Sheol h7585)
But Jacob replied, “My son will not go down there with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If any harm comes to him on your journey, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.” (Sheol h7585)
