< Genesis 42 >

1 Ita, naammoan ni Jacob nga adda bukel idiay Egipto. Kinunana kadagiti putotna a lallaki. “Apay ta agkikinnitakayo?”
And Jacob sees that there is grain in Egypt, and Jacob says to his sons, “Why do you look at each other?”
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.”
He also says, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt, go down there, and buy for us from there, and we live and do not die”;
3 Simmalog ngarud dagiti sangapulo a kakabsat ni Jose tapno gumatang iti bukel manipud iti Egipto.
and the ten brothers of Joseph go down to buy grain in Egypt,
4 Ngem ni Benjamin a kabsat ni Jose ket saanna a pinasurot kadagiti kakabsatna, ta kinunana, “Amangan no adda dakes a mapasamak kenkuana.”
and Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob has not sent with his brothers, for he said, “Lest harm meet him.”
5 Immay met dagiti annak ni Israel tapno gumatang malaksid pay kadagiti immay, ta adda met panagbisin iti daga ti Canaan.
And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine has been in 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.
and Joseph is the ruler over the land, he who is selling to all the people of the land, and Joseph’s brothers come and bow themselves to him—face to the earth.
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 Joseph sees his brothers, and discerns them, and makes himself strange to them, and speaks sharp things with them, and says to them, “From where have you come?” And they say, “From the land of Canaan—to buy food.”
8 Nabigbig ni Jose dagiti kakabsatna ngem saanda a nabigbig isuna.
And Joseph discerns his brothers, but they have not discerned him,
9 Nalagip ni Jose dagiti tagtagainepna maipapan kadakuada. Kinunana kadakuada, “Espiakayo. Immaykayo tapno kitaenyo ti saan a naguardia-an a paset ti daga.”
and Joseph remembers the dreams which he dreamed of them and says to them, “You [are] spies; you have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
10 Kinunada kenkuana, “Saan, apo. Immay dagitoy nga adipenmo a gumatang ti taraon.
And they say to him, “No, my lord, but 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 of us sons of one man, we [are] right men; your servants have not been spies”;
12 Kinunana kadakuada, “Saan, ngem immaykayo tapno kitaenyo ti saan a naguardia-an a paset ti daga.”
and he says to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land”;
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.”
and they say, “Your servants [are] twelve brothers; we [are] sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and behold, the young one [is] with our father today, and one is not.”
14 Kinuna ni Jose kadakuada, “Kas nakunakon; espiakayo.
And Joseph says to them, “This [is] that which I have spoken to you, saying, 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.
by this you are proved: [as] Pharaoh lives, if you go out from this—except by your young brother coming 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 you, and let him bring your brother, and you, remain bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be with you: and if not, [as] Pharaoh lives, surely you [are] spies”;
17 Ket imbaludna amin ida iti tallo nga aldaw.
and he gathers them into confinement [for] three days.
18 Iti maikatlo nga aldaw, kinuna ni Jose kadakuada, “Aramidenyo daytoy ket agbiagkayo, ta adda panagbutengko iti Dios.
And Joseph says to them on the third day, “Do this and live; I fear God!
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] right men, let one of your brothers be bound in the house of your confinement, and you, go, carry in grain [for] the famine of your houses,
20 Iyegyo ti inaudi a kabsatyo kaniak iti kasta ket mapaneknekan dagiti imbagayo ket saankayo a matay.” Kasta ngarud ti inaramidda.
and you bring your young brother to me, and your words are established, and you do not die”; and they do so.
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.
And they say to one another, “Truly we [are] guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul, in his making supplication to us, and we did not listen: therefore this distress has come on 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 answers them, saying, “Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the boy? And you did not listen; and his blood also, behold, it is required.”
23 Saanda nga ammo a naawatan ida ni Jose, ta adda mangipatpatarus iti nagbabaetanda.
And they have not known that Joseph understands, for the interpreter [is] 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 turns around from them, and weeps, and turns back to them, and speaks to them, and takes Simeon from them, and binds him 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.
And Joseph commands, and they fill their vessels [with] grain, also to put back the money of each of them into his sack, and to give to them provision for the way; and one does to them so.
26 Inkarga dagiti agkakabsat dagiti awitda a bukel kadagiti asnoda ket pimmanawda manipud sadiay.
And they lift up their grain on their donkeys, and go from there,
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.
and the one opens his sack to give provender to his donkey at a lodging-place, and he sees his money, and behold, it [is] in the mouth of his bag,
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?”
and he says to his brothers, “My money has been put back, and also, behold, in my bag”: and their heart goes out, and they tremble, to one another saying, “What [is] this 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,
And they come to their father Jacob, to the land of Canaan, and they declare to him all the things meeting them, saying,
30 “Ti lalaki, nga apo ti daga ket sigugubsang a nakisarita kadakami ken impagarupna nga espiakami iti daga.
“The man, the lord of the land, has spoken with us sharp things, and makes us as spies of the land;
31 Imbagami kenkuana, 'Mapagtalkankami a lallaki. saankami nga espia.
and we say to him, We [are] right men, we have not been 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 our father, one is not, and the young one [is] today 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.
And the man, the lord of the land, says to us, By this I know that you [are] right men—leave one of your brothers with me, and take [for] the famine of your houses 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.”'
and bring your young brother to me, and I know that you [are] not spies, but you [are] right men; I give your brother to you, and you trade with 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.
And it comes to pass, they are emptying their sacks, and behold, the bundle of each man’s silver [is] in his sack, and they see their bundles of silver, they and their father, and are afraid;
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.”
and their father Jacob says to them, “You have bereaved me; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and Benjamin you take—all these [things] have been 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.”
And Reuben speaks to his father, saying, “You put to death my two sons, if I do not bring him to you; give him into my hand, and I bring him back to you”;
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)
and he says, “My son does not go down with you, for his brother [is] dead, and he by himself is left; when harm has met him in the way in which you go, then you have brought down my grey hairs in sorrow to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
