Jenesis 42
1 Jekopu'ma Isipi moparega witi me'ne hazankema nentahino'a, ne'mofavre naga'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, Na'a higeta ovufi avufina nehaze?
When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why are you staring at one another?”
2 Isipi mopafina witi ne'zana me'ne hazage'na antahuanki, ofrita manisunema hanuta vuta ana moparegati ne'zana ome mizaseta eho.
“Look,” he added, “I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, so that we may live and not die.”
3 Hige'za Josefena 10ni'a afuhe'za witi miza senaku Isipi urami'naze.
So ten of Joseph’s brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
4 Hianagi Jekopu'a Josefe negna Benzameni'ma hazenke erizanku koro nehuno, atregeno afuhe'zanena ovu'ne.
But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “I am afraid that harm might befall him.”
5 Hagi zamaga'zamo' a ana zanke Kenani mopafinena hige'za Israeli amohe'za ke hiaza hu'za witi ne'za miza senaku ruga'a vahe'ene urami'naze.
So the sons of Israel were among those who came to buy grain, since the famine had also spread to the land of Canaan.
6 Hagi Josefe'a ana mopafina gavana manino kegava kri'nege'za agritetike maka ana mopafi vahe'mo'za ne'zana eme miza se'naze. Hagi Josefe afuhe'za agrite e'za zamarena re'za kepri mopafi hu'naze.
Now Joseph was the ruler of the land; he was the one who sold grain to all its people. So when his brothers arrived, they bowed down before him with their faces to the ground.
7 Josefe'a afuhe'i zamavugosafi nezmageno, onke vahekna nehuno hanave'ane ke huzmanteno anage hu'ne, tamagra igati e'naze? Hige'za zamagra anage hu'naze, Kenani moparegati ne'za miza senaku e'none.
And when Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he treated them as strangers and spoke harshly to them. “Where have you come from?” he asked. “From the land of Canaan,” they replied. “We are here to buy food.”
8 Josefe'a afuhe'ina zamageni' hianagi, zamagra agrira keni' osu'naze.
Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.
9 Josefe'a ko'ma afuhe'inte ava'na kezamte'nea agesa nentahino anage huno zamasmi'ne, Tamagra mopati afureta kenaku e'naze.
Joseph remembered his dreams about them and said, “You are spies! You have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”
10 Hianagi zamagra anage hu'naze, a'o, rantimoka kagri eri'za vahe'mota ne'za miza senaku e'none.
“Not so, my lord,” they replied. “Your servants have come to buy food.
11 Tagra magoke ne'mofo mofavre nagakita, tamage vahe mani'none. Hagi eri'za nagaka'mota tagra mopa afure' vahera ome'none.
We are all sons of one man. Your servants are honest men, not spies.”
12 Anage hazanagi ke'zmi rezmanteno agra anage hu'ne, A'o, kegava osu'nona mopati afureta kenaku tamagra e'naze!
“No,” he told them. “You have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”
13 Hige'za zamagra anage hu'za asami'naze, Eri'za vahe'kamota maka 12fu'a vahekita magoke ne'mofo ne'mofavre naga mani'none. Hanki amitenamo'a Kenani mopare nerfa'ene manigeno, magotimo'a hago fri'ne.
But they answered, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is now with our father, and one is no more.”
14 Hianagi Josefe'a amanage huno rentase hu'ne, Tamagra mopati afure vahere hu'na neramasamue.
Then Joseph declared, “Just as I said, you are spies!
15 Tamagrama tamage nehaze hunama nagrama hanuana, amanahu hugahaze. Fero avufi hanave'ane ke huankita, ama kumara atreta ovu'nesageno, neramagna amare' e'nige'na kete'na, tamatrenugeta mopatamirega vugahaze.
And this is how you will be tested: As surely as Pharaoh lives, you shall not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.
16 Hagi mago'mofo huntenkeno vuno neramagnana ome avreno eno. Hanki ruga'amota kinafi mani'nesageno, tamagenoka hugetama hunazana, tamagu'areti tamage hunafi kaneno. Havigema hanuta Fero avufina, tamage tamagra mopati afureta kenaku enaza vahere hu'na hugahue.
Send one of your number to get your brother; the rest of you will be confined so that the truth of your words may be tested. If they are untrue, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!”
17 Ana nagara maka kina nompi 3'a zagegnafi zamavarentene.
So Joseph imprisoned them for three days,
18 Hagi namba 3ma hia zagegnarera Josefe'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Nagra Anumzamofonku koro nehugu amana'ma hanazana manigahaze.
and on the third day he said to them, “I fear God. So do this and you will live:
19 Hagi tamage vahe'ma mani'nesuta, atrenkeno mago neramafu kina huno mani'nena, ruga'amotma witi ne'zantmia erita zamaga zanku'ma nehaza naga tamirega viho.
If you are honest, leave one of your brothers in custody while the rest of you go and take back grain to relieve the hunger of your households.
20 Hianagi neramagnana ome avreta nagrite ehanatiho. Anama nehanageno ketamimo'a tamagesesigeta ofrigahaze. Hige'za kema zamasmiaza hu'naze.
Then bring your youngest brother to me so that your words can be verified, that you may not die.” And to this they consented.
21 Zamagra zamagra amanage hu'naze, tamage neragnana haviza hunte'none. Na'ankure negonkeno agra o'e nehigeta antahiomuna nona'a ana knazamo'a tagritera fore nehie.
Then they said to one another, “Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw his anguish when he pleaded with us, but we would not listen. That is why this distress has come upon us.”
22 Rubeni'a ke nona'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Nagra ontamasami'nofi, ana mofavrea azeri havizana osiho nehugeta ke'nia antahi onami'naza nona'a, menina agri'ma ahe fri'nona zamofo nona'a knazana enerune.
And Reuben responded, “Didn’t I tell you not to sin against the boy? But you would not listen. Now we must account for his blood!”
23 Zamagrama antahi'zana Josefe'a ketia nontahie hu'za hu'nazanagi, agra antahine. Na'ankure Josefema kema rekrahe humi vahe'mo'a amu'nozamifi mani'neno, nanekea akrehe huno zamasmi'ne.
They did not realize that Joseph understood them, since there was an interpreter between them.
24 Josefe'a zamatreno vuno zavi ome atete'no, eno eme kema hunezmino'a, eri'za vahe'a zamasmige'za, Simeonina azeri'za negage'za azante nofi anakinte'naze.
And he turned away from them and wept. When he turned back and spoke to them, he took Simeon from them and had him bound before their eyes.
25 Huteno Josefe'a hige'za witi ne'zana beki ku'zmifi eriri nezmante'za, zagozmia ana zanke hu'za beki kuzmifi eriri nezamante'za, kantega nevu'za nemema vanaza kave'ene eriri zamante'naze.
Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, to return each man’s silver to his sack, and to give them provisions for their journey. This order was carried out,
26 Hige'za donki afu'zmimofo agumpi witi ne'zama eririzmantaza erinte'za anantetira atre'za vu'naze.
and they loaded the grain on their donkeys and departed.
27 Kantega umsenaku hazarega mago'mo donki afu'amofo ne'zama aminaku beki ku'a eriheta huno keana, beki ku'amofo avazare zago'a me'negeno ke'ne.
At the place where they lodged for the night, one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver in the mouth of the sack.
28 Afuhe'igizmia anage huno zamasami'ne, Beki ku'niafi zagonia eriri nante'nazanki keho. Hige'za zamahirahi nerege'za koro nehu'za rukre hu'za ovufi avufi nehu'za, anage hu'naze, Naza ama zana Anumzamo'a hunerante?
“My silver has been returned!” he said to his brothers. “It is here in my sack.” Their hearts sank, and trembling, they turned to one another and said, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29 Hagi zamagrama Kenani mopare unehanati'za, maka'zama fore huzmi'nea nanekea nezmafa Jekopuna amanage hu'za asmi'naze.
When they reached their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they described to him all that had happened to them:
30 Ana nera, ana mopa kegava kri'nea ra nekino, hanave kefintike kea huno, tamagra mopati afureta ke vahe e'naze hu'ne.
“The man who is lord of the land spoke harshly to us and accused us of spying on the country.
31 Hianagi tagra anage huta asami'none, Tagra tamage vahe mani'nonanki, afure vahera omani'none huta asami'none.
But we told him, ‘We are honest men, not spies.
32 Tagra 12fu'a kogna nagakita, magoke ne'mofo mofavre nagare. Magotimo'a omanigeno, neragana'a nerafa'ene menina Kenani moparega mani'ne.
We are twelve brothers, sons of one father. One is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.’
33 Anage hunkeno ana mopama kegava kri'nea ra ne'mo'a amanage huno tasami'ne, Mago nermafuna nagrite netretma, witi ne'za eneritma zamagaku'ma nehaza nagatamirega viho. E'inama hanage'na, tamage vahe mani'naze hu'na nagra antahigahue.
Then the man who is lord of the land said to us, ‘This is how I will know whether you are honest: Leave one brother with me, take food to relieve the hunger of your households, and go.
34 Hagi nagnatamimofona avreta enkena negena, tamagra tamage huta mopa afureta ke vahera omani'naze hu'na antahi neramina, neramafuna avreraminena ama mopafina amne vute'ete huta ne'zana miza nehuta zagorera atregahaze huno hu'ne.
But bring your youngest brother back to me so I will know that you are not spies but honest men. Then I will give your brother back to you, and you can trade in the land.’”
35 Anage hute'za beki ku'zmifinti ne'zama eri'za e'naza herafinaku nehu'za kazana ana kognamokizmi zago'zmia kona anakinare beki ku'zmifi metere hu'negeno, ana zagoma nezmafa'enema nege'za tusi koro hu'naze.
As they began emptying their sacks, there in each man’s sack was his bag of silver! And when they and their father saw the bags of silver, they were dismayed.
36 Nezmafa Jekopu'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Tamagra mofavre onte ne' kna hunenantaze. Josefe fanane higeno, Simeon fanane higeno, Benzamenina ana zanke huta avregahaze, ana maka zamo'a ha' renante.
Their father Jacob said to them, “You have deprived me of my sons. Joseph is gone and Simeon is no more. Now you want to take Benjamin. Everything is going against me!”
37 Rubeni'a nefana anage huno asami'ne, Benzamenima avre'na omesugenka tare ne'mofavreni'a zanahe frigahananki, nagri nazampi antege'na avre'na vute'na avre'na aneno.
Then Reuben said to his father, “You may kill my two sons if I fail to bring him back to you. Put him in my care, and I will return him.”
38 Nehigeno Jekopu'a anage hu'ne, Nagri nenamofo'a kagranena uoramigahie. Nankure nefu'a frigeno, agrake mani'ne. Kama nevnageno kantegama hazenkema omeri'nige'na, efe nazokamate'nea vahera nasuzamo nahefri'na fri'na fri vahe kumapi (Seol) umanigahue. (Sheol h7585)
But Jacob replied, “My son will not go down there with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If any harm comes to him on your journey, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.” (Sheol h7585)
