Genesis 43
1 Nakaro ti panagbisin iti daga.
Now the famine was severe 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.”
So it came about when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said to them, "Go again, buy us a little more food."
3 Imbaga ni Juda kenkuana, “Nainget iti panangballaag kadakami ti lalaki, 'Saanyonto a makita ti rupak malaksid no kaduayo ti kabsatyo.'
But Judah spoke to him, saying, "The man strictly warned us, saying, 'You may not see my face unless your brother is with you.'
4 No paikuyogmo kadakami ti kabsatmi, sumalogkami ket igatangandaka iti taraon.
If you'll send our brother with us, we'll go down and buy you 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 you will not send him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, 'You may not see my face unless your brother is with you.'"
6 Kinuna ni Israel, “Apay a pinagaramidandak iti saan a nasayaat babaen iti panangibagayo iti lalaki nga adda pay sabali a kabsatyo?
Then Israel said, "Why did you bring this trouble on me by telling the man that you 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?'”
They said, "The man kept asking about ourselves, and concerning our relatives, saying, 'Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?' So we just answered his questions. How were we to 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.
Then Judah said to his father Israel, "Send the boy with me and we'll get up and go, so that we may live and not die, both we and you, 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 collateral for him. You can hold me responsible for him. If I fail to bring him to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever,
10 Ta no saankami koma a nataktak, awan dua-dua a kapaminduami koman ita a nagsubli ditoy.
for if we hadn't delayed, surely we would have returned a second time by now."
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.
Then their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best fruits of the land in your bags and bring a gift for the man, a little balm, a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.
12 Paminduaenyo ti gatad ti kuarta nga itugotyo. Itugotyo manen ti kuarta a naisubli kadagiti sakoyo. Nalabit a biddut laeng daytoy.
Take twice as much silver in your hand, and take back the silver that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was an oversight.
13 Isurotyo pay ti kabsatyo. Agrubbuatkayo ket mapankayo manen iti lalaki.
Take your brother also, and get up, go back 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.”
And may El Shaddai grant you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am deprived of my children, then I am deprived."
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.
The men took this gift, and they took twice as much silver with them, and Benjamin. Then they got up and went down to Egypt, and presented themselves 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.”
When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the servant of his house, "Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal and prepare it; for the men will eat with me at noon."
17 Inaramid ngarud ti mangay-aywan ti imbaga ni Jose. Impanna ngarud dagiti lallaki iti balay ni Jose.
The man did as Joseph had said, and the man brought the men to 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.”
But the men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph's house, and they said, "It is because of the silver that was returned in our sacks the first time that we are brought here; so that he may capture us, and make us slaves, and take our donkeys."
19 Immasidegda iti mangay-aywan iti balay ni Jose, ket kinatungtongda isuna iti ruangan ti balay,
So they came near to the man of Joseph's house and they spoke to him at the entrance of the house,
20 a kunada, “Apo, simmalogkami idi damdamo tapno gumatang iti makan.
and said, "My lord, we indeed came down 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.
But when we came to the lodging place, we opened our sacks, and look, every man's silver was in the mouth of his sack, our silver in full weight. So we have brought it back 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.”
We have brought down additional silver with us to buy food. We do not know who put our silver 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.
He said, "Peace to you. Do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks. I received your silver." Then he brought 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.
The man brought the men into Joseph's house and gave them water, and they washed their feet. Then he gave their donkeys food.
25 Insaganada dagiti sagut a maipaay iti isasangpet ni Jose iti aldaw, ta nangngegda a manganda sadiay
They prepared the gift for Joseph's arrival at noon, for they heard that they would eat a meal there.
26 Idi simmangpet ni Jose iti balayna, intugotda dagiti sagut nga adda kadakuada iti balay, ken nagrukobda iti daga iti sangoananna.
When Joseph came home, they prepared the gift they had brought with them into the house, and bowed themselves down to him with their face to the ground.
27 Dinamagna ti kasasaadda a kinunana, “Nasalun-at kadi ti amayo, ti lakay nga ibagbagayo? Sibibiag pay kadi isuna?”
Then he asked them of their welfare, and said, "Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? 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 well. He is still alive." Then he said, "Blessed be that man by God." And they bowed and prostrated themselves.
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 looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you told me about?" Then he said, "God be gracious 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.
Then Joseph hurried out, for he was overcome with emotion because of his brother, and he was at the point of tears. So he entered into his chamber and wept there.
31 Nagdiram-us isuna sa rimmuar. Tinengngelna ti riknana, kinunana, “Idasaryo ti taraon.”
Then he washed his face and came out. And he controlled himself and said, "Serve the food."
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.
They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat food with the Hebrews, for that is disgraceful to 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 looked at each other with amazement.
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.
Then he gave portions to them in front of him, but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank until they all became drunk.
