Genesis 43
1 Nakaro ti panagbisin iti daga.
And the famine [was] sore in 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 it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, 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.'
And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother [be] with you.
4 No paikuyogmo kadakami ti kabsatmi, sumalogkami ket igatangandaka iti taraon.
If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
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 thou wilt not send [him], we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother [be] with you.
6 Kinuna ni Israel, “Apay a pinagaramidandak iti saan a nasayaat babaen iti panangibagayo iti lalaki nga adda pay sabali a kabsatyo?
And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye [so] ill with me, [as] to tell the man whether ye had yet a 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?'”
And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, [Is] your father yet alive? have ye [another] brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
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.
And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, [and] also our little ones.
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 will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
10 Ta no saankami koma a nataktak, awan dua-dua a kapaminduami koman ita a nagsubli ditoy.
For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this 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.
And their father Israel said unto them, If [it must be] so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
12 Paminduaenyo ti gatad ti kuarta nga itugotyo. Itugotyo manen ti kuarta a naisubli kadagiti sakoyo. Nalabit a biddut laeng daytoy.
And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry [it] again in your hand; peradventure it [was] an oversight:
13 Isurotyo pay ti kabsatyo. Agrubbuatkayo ket mapankayo manen iti lalaki.
Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto 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.”
And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved [of my children], I am 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.
And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before 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 Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring [these] men home, and slay, and make ready; for [these] men shall dine with me at noon.
17 Inaramid ngarud ti mangay-aywan ti imbaga ni Jose. Impanna ngarud dagiti lallaki iti balay ni Jose.
And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph’s 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 the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph’s house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
19 Immasidegda iti mangay-aywan iti balay ni Jose, ket kinatungtongda isuna iti ruangan ti balay,
And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
20 a kunada, “Apo, simmalogkami idi damdamo tapno gumatang iti makan.
And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time 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 it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, [every] man’s money [was] in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
22 Nangitugotkami pay iti sabali a kuarta a paggatangmi iti taraon. Saanmi nga ammo no siasino iti nangikabil iti kuartami kadagiti sakomi.”
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
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.
And he said, Peace [be] to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto 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 the man brought the men into Joseph’s house, and gave [them] water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
25 Insaganada dagiti sagut a maipaay iti isasangpet ni Jose iti aldaw, ta nangngegda a manganda sadiay
And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should 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 when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which [was] in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
27 Dinamagna ti kasasaadda a kinunana, “Nasalun-at kadi ti amayo, ti lakay nga ibagbagayo? Sibibiag pay kadi isuna?”
And he asked them of [their] welfare, and said, [Is] your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? [Is] he yet alive?
28 Kinunada, “Nasalun-at ti amami nga adipenmo. Sibibiag pay isuna.” Nagparintumeng ken nagdumogda.
And they answered, Thy servant our father [is] in good health, he [is] yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
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.”
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, [Is] this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, 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 Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought [where] to weep; and he entered into [his] chamber, and wept there.
31 Nagdiram-us isuna sa rimmuar. Tinengngelna ti riknana, kinunana, “Idasaryo ti taraon.”
And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on 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 they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that [is] an abomination unto the Egyptians.
33 Nagtugaw dagiti agkakabsat iti sangoananna, ti inauna segun iti pannakaiyanakna, ken iti inaudi segun iti kinaubingna. Nasdaaw dagiti lallaki.
And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.
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.
And he took [and sent] messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin’s mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
