Genesis 43
1 Nakaro ti panagbisin iti daga.
Meanwhile, the famine pressed heavily on all the land.
2 Napasamak nga idi nakandan ti bukbukel nga insangpetda manipud idiay Egipto, ket kinuna ti amada kadakuada, “Mapankayo manen; gumatangkayo iti taraontayo.”
And having consumed the provisions that they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Return and buy us a little food.”
3 Imbaga ni Juda kenkuana, “Nainget iti panangballaag kadakami ti lalaki, 'Saanyonto a makita ti rupak malaksid no kaduayo ti kabsatyo.'
Judah answered: “The man himself declared to us, under the attestation of an oath, saying: ‘You will not see my face, unless you bring your youngest brother with you.’
4 No paikuyogmo kadakami ti kabsatmi, sumalogkami ket igatangandaka iti taraon.
If therefore you are willing to send him with us, we will travel together, and we will buy necessities for you.
5 Ngem no saanmo a kayat nga isurotmi isuna, saankami a sumalog. Ta imbaga ti lalaki kadakami, “Saanyonto a makita ti rupak malaksid no kaduayo ti kabsatyo.”'
But if you are not willing, we will not go. For the man, as we have often said, declared to us, saying: ‘You will not see my face without your youngest brother.’”
6 Kinuna ni Israel, “Apay a pinagaramidandak iti saan a nasayaat babaen iti panangibagayo iti lalaki nga adda pay sabali a kabsatyo?
Israel said to them, “You have done this for my misery, in that you revealed to him that you also had another brother.”
7 Kinunada, “Nagsaludsod ti lalaki maipanggep kadakami ken iti pamiliatayo. Kinunana, 'Sibibiag pay kadi ti Amayo? Adda pay kadi sabali a kabsatyo?' Sinungbatanmi isuna segun kadagitoy a salsaludsod. Ammomi aya ngarud met nga ibagana nga, 'Itugotyo ditoy ti kabsatyo?'”
But they responded: “The man questioned us in order, concerning our family: whether our father lived, if we had a brother. And we answered him respectively, according to what he demanded. How could we know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother with you?’”
8 Kinuna ni Juda kenni Israel nga amana, “Italekmo kaniak ti ubing. Agrubbuatkamin a mapan tapno agbiagtayo a saan ket a matay, datayo, sika ken kasta met dagiti annaktayo.
Likewise, Judah said to his father: “Send the boy with me, so that we may set out and be able to live, lest we and our little ones should die.
9 Siak ti makaammo kenkuana. No saanko isuna a maisubli kenka ken maidatag iti sangoanam, uray siak lattan ti mangawit iti pammabasol iti agnanayon.
I accept the boy; require him at my hand. Unless I lead him back and restore him to you, I will be guilty of a sin against you for all time.
10 Ta no saankami koma a nataktak, awan dua-dua a kapaminduami koman ita a nagsubli ditoy.
If a delay had not intervened, by now we would have returned here a second time.”
11 Kinuna ti amada a ni Israel kadakuada, “No kasta ngarud, ita, kastoy ti aramidenyo.” Mangalakayo kadagiti kasayaatan a napataud iti daga ket ikabilyo kadagiti sakoyo. Mangitugotkayo iti sagut para iti lalaki: sangkabassit a resina ken diro, kadagiti rekado ken mira, piniones ken almendras.
Therefore, their father Israel said to them: “If it is necessary to do so, then do what you will. Take, in your vessels, from the best fruits of the land, and carry down gifts to the man: a little resin, and honey, and storax ointment, oil of myrrh, turpentine, and almonds.
12 Paminduaenyo ti gatad ti kuarta nga itugotyo. Itugotyo manen ti kuarta a naisubli kadagiti sakoyo. Nalabit a biddut laeng daytoy.
Also, take with you double the money, and carry back what you found in your sacks, lest perhaps it was done in error.
13 Isurotyo pay ti kabsatyo. Agrubbuatkayo ket mapankayo manen iti lalaki.
But also take your brother, and go to the man.
14 Sapay koma ta ited ti Dios a Mannakabalin amin ti asi kadakayo iti sangoanan ti Lalaki, tapno wayawyaanna kadakayo ti sabali pay a kabsatyo ken kasta met ni Benjamin. No mapukawko dagiti annakko. Mapukawanak ngarud.”
Then may my Almighty God cause him to be pleased by you. And send your brother, whom he holds, back with you, along with this one, Benjamin. But as for me, without my children, I will be like one who is bereaved.”
15 Innala dagiti lallaki dayta a sagut. Nangalada iti mamindua a kaadu ti kuartada ken insurotda ni Benjamin. Nagrubbuatda, simmalogda idiay Egipto, ket dimmatagda iti sangoanan ni Jose.
Therefore, the men took the gifts, and double the money, and Benjamin. And they went down into Egypt, and they stood in the presence of Joseph.
16 Idi nakita ni Jose a kaduada ni Benjamin, kinunana iti agay-aywan iti balayna, “Ikuyogmo dagiti lallaki idiay balay, mangpartika iti ayup ket isaganam daytoy, ta makipangan kaniak dagiti lallaki iti pangaldaw.”
And when he had seen them and Benjamin together, he instructed the steward of his house, saying: “Lead the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast, because they will be eating with me at midday.”
17 Inaramid ngarud ti mangay-aywan ti imbaga ni Jose. Impanna ngarud dagiti lallaki iti balay ni Jose.
He did what he had been ordered to do, and he brought the men into the house.
18 Nagbuteng dagiti lallaki gapu ta naipanda iti balay ni Jose. Kinunada, “Gapu daytoy iti kuarta a naisubli kadagiti sakotayo idi immuna nga immaytayo, tapno mangbirok isuna iti gundaway a maibusor kadatayo. Mabalin a tiliwennatayo ken pagbalinennatayo a tagabu, ken alaenna dagiti asnotayo.”
And there, being terrified, they said one to another: “Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we have been brought in, so that he may unleash a false accusation against us, and by violence subjugate both us and our donkeys into servitude.”
19 Immasidegda iti mangay-aywan iti balay ni Jose, ket kinatungtongda isuna iti ruangan ti balay,
For this reason, approaching the steward of the house at his door,
20 a kunada, “Apo, simmalogkami idi damdamo tapno gumatang iti makan.
they said: “We beg you, lord, to hear us. We came down once before to buy food.
21 Ket napasamak nga idi nakadanonkami iti disso a paginanaan ket linuktanmi dagiti sakomi, ket, nakitami nga adda ti kuarta ti tunggal maysa iti ngarab iti sakona, awan iti naksay iti kuartami. Intugotmi daytoy.
And having bought it, when we arrived at the inn, we opened our sacks and found the money in the mouths of the sacks, which we now have carried back in the same amount.
22 Nangitugotkami pay iti sabali a kuarta a paggatangmi iti taraon. Saanmi nga ammo no siasino iti nangikabil iti kuartami kadagiti sakomi.”
But we have also brought other silver, so that we may buy those things that are necessary for us. It is not on our conscience who had placed it in our bags.”
23 Kinuna ti mangay-aywan, “Kapia koma iti maadda kadakayo, saankayo nga agbuteng. Ti Diosyo ken ti Dios ti amayo siguro ti nangikabil iti kuarta kadagiti sakoyo. Naawatko dagiti kuartayo.” Impan ngarud ti mangay-aywan ni Simeon kadakuada.
But he responded: “Peace be with you. Do not be afraid. Your God, and the God of your father, has given you the treasure in your sacks. As for the money that you gave to me, I held it as a test.” And he led Simeon out to them.
24 Pinastrek ti mangay-aywan dagiti lallaki iti uneg ti balay ni Jose, “Inikkanna ida iti danum, ket binuggoanda dagiti saksakada. Inikkanna iti makan dagiti asnoda.
And having led them into the house, he brought water, and they washed their feet, and he gave fodder to their donkeys.
25 Insaganada dagiti sagut a maipaay iti isasangpet ni Jose iti aldaw, ta nangngegda a manganda sadiay
But they also prepared the gifts, until Joseph entered at midday. For they had heard that they would eat bread there.
26 Idi simmangpet ni Jose iti balayna, intugotda dagiti sagut nga adda kadakuada iti balay, ken nagrukobda iti daga iti sangoananna.
And so Joseph entered his house, and they offered him the gifts, holding them in their hands. And they reverenced prone on the ground.
27 Dinamagna ti kasasaadda a kinunana, “Nasalun-at kadi ti amayo, ti lakay nga ibagbagayo? Sibibiag pay kadi isuna?”
But he, gently greeting them again, questioned them, saying: “Is your father, the old man about whom you spoke to me, in good health? Is he still alive?”
28 Kinunada, “Nasalun-at ti amami nga adipenmo. Sibibiag pay isuna.” Nagparintumeng ken nagdumogda.
And they answered: “Your servant, our father, is safe; he is still alive.” And bowing, they reverenced him.
29 Timmangad isuna ket nakitana ni Benjamin a kabsatna, ti anak ti inana, kinunana,” Daytoy kadi iti inaudi a kabsatyo nga ibagbagayo kaniak?” Kinunana, “Paraburannaka koma ti Dios, anakko.”
Then Joseph, lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin, his brother of the same womb, and he said, “Is this your little brother, about whom you spoke to me?” And again, he said, “May God be compassionate to you, my son.”
30 Nagdardaras a rimmuar ni Jose iti siled ta kasta unay a natignay isuna maipanggep iti kabsatna. Nangsapul isuna iti lugar a pagsangitanna. Napan isuna iti siledna ket nagsangit sadiay.
And he hurried out, because his heart had been moved over his brother, and tears gushed out. And going into his chamber, he wept.
31 Nagdiram-us isuna sa rimmuar. Tinengngelna ti riknana, kinunana, “Idasaryo ti taraon.”
And when he had washed his face, coming out again, he composed himself, and he said, “Set out bread.”
32 Nagserbian dagiti adipen ni Jose nga is-isuna ken dagiti agkakabsat nga is-isuda. Nakipangan dagiti Egipcio sadiay nga is-isuda laeng gapu ta saan a mabalin a makipangan dagiti Egipcio iti tinapay kadagiti Hebreo, ta makarimon dayta kadagiti Egipcio.
And when it was set out, separately for Joseph, and separately for his brothers, likewise separately for the Egyptians, who ate at the same time, (for it is unlawful for Egyptians to eat with Hebrews, and they consider feasting in this way to be profane)
33 Nagtugaw dagiti agkakabsat iti sangoananna, ti inauna segun iti pannakaiyanakna, ken iti inaudi segun iti kinaubingna. Nasdaaw dagiti lallaki.
they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his state of life. And they wondered exceedingly,
34 Nangted ni Jose iti taraon nga adda iti sangoananna. Ngem iti paset ni Benjamin ket maminlima ti kaaduna ngem iti naited kadagiti kakabsatna. Naginomda ken nakipagragsakda kenkuana.
taking the portions that they received from him. And the greater portion went to Benjamin, so much so that it exceeded five parts. And they drank and became inebriated along with him.
