Kejadian 42
1 Ketika Yakub mendengar bahwa ada gandum di Mesir, berkatalah ia kepada anak-anaknya, "Mengapa kamu tenang-tenang saja?
And Jacob having seen that there was a sale [of corn] in Egypt, said to his sons, Why are you indolent?
2 Telah kudengar bahwa ada gandum di Mesir; pergilah ke sana dan belilah gandum supaya kita jangan mati kelaparan."
Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt; go down there, and buy for us a little food, that we may live, and not die.
3 Lalu pergilah kesepuluh abang Yusuf itu membeli gandum di Mesir.
And the ten brethren of Joseph went down to buy corn out of Egypt.
4 Tetapi Yakub tidak mengizinkan Benyamin, adik kandung Yusuf, pergi bersama mereka, karena ia takut jangan-jangan terjadi kecelakaan dengan anaknya itu.
But [Jacob] sent not Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, with his brethren; for he said, Lest, haply, disease befall him.
5 Karena kelaparan di negeri Kanaan, anak-anak Yakub bersama banyak orang lain datang membeli gandum di Mesir.
And the sons of Israel came to buy with those that came, for the famine was in the land of Chanaan.
6 Yang menjual gandum kepada orang-orang dari seluruh dunia ialah Yusuf, sebagai gubernur Mesir. Sebab itu abang-abang Yusuf datang dan sujud di hadapannya.
And Joseph was ruler of the land; he sold to all the people of the land. And the brethren of Joseph, having come, did reverence to him, [bowing] with the face to the ground.
7 Ketika Yusuf melihat abang-abangnya, ia mengenali mereka, tetapi ia pura-pura tidak kenal. Dengan kasar ia bertanya kepada mereka, "Kamu orang mana?" "Kami orang Kanaan. Kami datang untuk membeli makanan," jawab mereka.
And when Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them, and estranged himself from them, and spoke hard words to them; and said to them, Whence are you come? And they said, Out of the land of Chanaan, to buy food.
8 Meskipun Yusuf mengenali abang-abangnya, mereka tidak mengenali dia.
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
9 Lalu ia teringat kepada mimpinya tentang mereka. Dan berkatalah ia, "Kamu ini mata-mata; kamu datang untuk menyelidiki di mana kelemahan negeri kami."
And Joseph remembered his dream, which he saw; and he said to them, You are spies; to observe the marks of the land are you come.
10 "Tidak, Tuanku," jawab mereka. "Kami, hamba-hamba Tuan datang hanya untuk membeli makanan.
But they said, Nay, Sir, we your servants are come to buy food;
11 Kami ini bersaudara, Tuanku. Kami ini orang baik-baik, bukan mata-mata."
we are all sons of one man; we are peaceful, your servants are not spies.
12 Yusuf berkata kepada mereka, "Bohong! Kamu datang kemari untuk menyelidiki di mana kelemahan negeri ini."
And he said to them, Nay, but you are come to observe the marks of the land.
13 Jawab mereka, "Kami ini dua belas bersaudara, Tuanku, kami anak dari satu ayah di negeri Kanaan. Seorang dari kami telah meninggal dan yang bungsu sekarang ada bersama ayah kami."
And they said, We your servants are twelve brethren, in the land of Chanaan; and, behold, the youngest is with our father today, but the other one is not.
14 "Memang benar seperti kataku," jawab Yusuf, "kamu ini mata-mata.
And Joseph said to them, This is it that I spoke to you, saying, you are spies;
15 Aku mau menguji kamu: Aku bersumpah demi nama raja bahwa kamu tidak akan meninggalkan negeri ini jika adikmu yang bungsu itu tidak datang kemari.
herein shall you be manifested; by the health of Pharao, you shall not depart hence, unless your younger brother come here.
16 Seorang dari kamu harus pulang mengambilnya. Yang lain akan ditahan sampai perkataanmu terbukti. Jika tidak, demi nama raja, kamu ini mata-mata musuh!"
Send one of you, and take your brother; and go you to prison, till your words be clear, whether you speak the truth or not; but, if not, by the health of Pharao, verily you are spies.
17 Kemudian mereka dimasukkan ke dalam penjara tiga hari lamanya.
And he put them in prison three days.
18 Pada hari yang ketiga Yusuf berkata kepada mereka, "Aku orang yang takut dan taat kepada Allah. Kamu akan kuselamatkan dengan satu syarat.
And he said to them on the third day, This do, and you shall live, for I fear God.
19 Untuk membuktikan bahwa kamu ini jujur, seorang dari kamu akan ditahan dalam penjara; yang lain boleh pulang dan membawa gandum yang kamu beli untuk keluargamu yang sedang menderita lapar.
If you be peaceful, let one of your brethren be detained in prison; but go you, and carry back the corn you have purchased.
20 Setelah itu kamu harus membawa adikmu yang bungsu kepadaku. Itulah buktinya nanti bahwa perkataanmu itu benar, dan kamu tidak akan kuhukum mati." Mereka setuju dengan keputusan gubernur itu.
And bring your younger brother to me, and your words shall be believed; but, if not, you shall die. And they did so.
21 Lalu berkatalah mereka seorang kepada yang lain, "Nah, kita sekarang dihukum akibat kesalahan kita terhadap adik kita dahulu; ia minta tolong tetapi kita tidak mau peduli, walaupun kita melihat bahwa ia sangat menderita. Itulah sebabnya kita sekarang mengalami penderitaan ini."
And each said to his brother, Yes, indeed, for we are in fault concerning our brother, when we disregarded the anguish of his soul, when he implored us, and we listened not to him; and therefore has this affliction come upon us.
22 Kata Ruben, "Bukankah dahulu sudah saya katakan kepada kalian supaya anak itu jangan diapa-apakan. Tetapi kalian tidak mau mendengarkan. Dan sekarang kematiannya dibalaskan kepada kita."
And Ruben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Hurt not the boy, and you heard me not? and, behold, his blood is required.
23 Yusuf mengerti bahasa mereka, tetapi mereka tidak mengetahui hal itu, karena mereka berbicara dengan Yusuf dengan perantaraan seorang juru bahasa.
But they knew not that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.
24 Yusuf meninggalkan mereka, lalu menangis. Ketika sudah dapat berkata-kata lagi, ia kembali kepada mereka, lalu mengambil Simeon, dan menyuruh mengikat dia di depan semua saudaranya.
And Joseph turned away from them, and wept; and again he came to them, and spoke to them; and he took Symeon from them, and bound him before their eyes.
25 Yusuf memerintahkan supaya karung-karung yang dibawa abang-abangnya diisi dengan gandum, dan uang mereka masing-masing dimasukkan ke dalam karung-karung itu. Juga supaya mereka diberi makanan untuk bekal di jalan. Perintahnya itu dilaksanakan.
And Joseph gave orders to fill their vessels with corn, and to return their money to each into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and it was so done to them.
26 Setelah itu abang-abang Yusuf membebani keledai mereka dengan gandum yang telah mereka beli itu, lalu berangkatlah mereka dari situ.
And having put the corn on the asses, they departed thence.
27 Di tempat mereka bermalam, seorang dari mereka membuka karung gandumnya untuk memberi makan keledainya. Ditemukannya uangnya di atas gandum itu.
And one having opened his sack to give his asses fodder, at the place where they rested, saw also his bundle of money, for it was on the mouth of his sack.
28 "Uang saya dikembalikan," serunya kepada saudara-saudaranya. "Lihat, ada di dalam karung saya!" Hati mereka menjadi kecut, dan dengan ketakutan mereka saling bertanya, "Apa yang dilakukan Allah kepada kita?"
And he said to his brethren, My money has been restored to me, and behold this is in my sack. And their heart was wonder-struck, and they were troubled, saying one to another, What is this that God has done to us?
29 Waktu sampai di Kanaan, mereka menceritakan kepada ayah mereka segala sesuatu yang telah mereka alami. Kata mereka,
And they came to their father, Jacob, into the land of Chanaan, and reported to him all that had happened to them, saying,
30 "Gubernur Mesir bicara dengan kasar kepada kami dan menuduh kami memata-matai negerinya.
The man, the lord of the land, spoke harsh words to us, and put us in prison as spies of the land.
31 Kami menjawab, 'Kami orang baik-baik, bukan mata-mata, kami orang jujur.
And we said to him, We are men of peace, we are not spies.
32 Kami semua dua belas bersaudara, anak dari satu ayah, dan seorang telah meninggal, sedangkan yang bungsu ada bersama ayah di Kanaan.'
We are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is with his father today in the land of Chanaan.
33 Gubernur itu mengatakan, 'Aku mau menguji kamu untuk mengetahui apakah kamu orang jujur: Seorang dari kamu harus tinggal; yang lain boleh pulang membawa gandum kepada keluargamu yang sedang menderita lapar.
And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Herein shall I know that you are peaceful; leave one brother here with me, and having taken the corn you have purchased for your family, depart.
34 Setelah kamu kembali membawa adikmu yang bungsu, aku akan tahu bahwa kamu bukan mata-mata, melainkan orang jujur. Maka saudaramu yang kutahan itu akan kukembalikan kepadamu dan kamu boleh tinggal di negeri ini dan bebas berdagang.'"
And bring to me your younger brother; then I shall know that you are not spies, but that you are men of peace: and I will restore you your brother, and you shall trade in the land.
35 Kemudian, pada waktu mereka mengosongkan karung-karung mereka, mereka menemukan dompet masing-masing yang berisi uang; lalu mereka sangat ketakutan, juga ayah mereka.
And it came to pass as they were emptying their sacks, there was each man's bundle of money in his sack; and they and their father saw their bundles of money, and they were afraid.
36 Lalu berkatalah ayah mereka, "Kalian menyebabkan aku kehilangan semua anakku. Yusuf tidak ada lagi; Simeon tidak ada lagi; dan sekarang kalian akan mengambil Benyamin juga. Bukan main penderitaanku!"
And their father Jacob said to them, You have bereaved me. Joseph is not, Symeon is not, and will you take Benjamin? all these things have come upon me.
37 Lalu kata Ruben kepada ayahnya, "Serahkanlah Benyamin kepada saya, Ayah; nanti akan saya bawa kembali, jika tidak, Ayah boleh membunuh kedua anak laki-laki saya."
And Ruben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to you; give him into my hand, and I will bring him back to you.
38 Tetapi Yakub berkata, "Tidak! Benyamin tidak boleh kalian bawa; abangnya telah mati dan kini hanya dialah yang masih tinggal. Jangan-jangan ia mendapat celaka dalam perjalanan itu. Aku ini sudah tua, dan kesedihan yang akan kalian datangkan kepadaku itu akan mengakibatkan kematianku." (Sheol h7585)
But he said, My son shall not go down with you, because his brother is dead, and he only has been left; and [suppose] it shall come to pass that he is afflicted by the way by which you go, then you shall bring down my old age with sorrow to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
