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?

Now Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, said to his sons, Why are you looking 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.

And he said, I have had news that there is grain in Egypt: go down there and get grain for us, so that life and not death may be ours.

3 Hige'za Josefena 10ni'a afuhe'za witi miza senaku Isipi urami'naze.

So Joseph's ten brothers went down to get 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 Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with them, for fear, as he said, that some evil might come to 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.

And the sons of Israel came with all the others to get grain: for they were very short of food in 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 ruler over all the land, and it was he who gave out the grain to all the people of the land; and Joseph's brothers came before him and went down on their faces to the earth.

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, it was clear to him who they were, but he made himself strange to them, and talking roughly to them, said, Where do you come from? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to get food.

8 Josefe'a afuhe'ina zamageni' hianagi, zamagra agrira keni' osu'naze.

Now though Joseph saw that these were his brothers, they had no idea who he was.

9 Josefe'a ko'ma afuhe'inte ava'na kezamte'nea agesa nentahino anage huno zamasmi'ne, Tamagra mopati afureta kenaku e'naze.

Then the memory of his dreams about them came back to Joseph, and he said to them, You have come secretly to see how poor the land is.

10 Hianagi zamagra anage hu'naze, a'o, rantimoka kagri eri'za vahe'mota ne'za miza senaku e'none.

And they said to him, Not so, my lord: your servants have come with money to get 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 one man's sons, we are true men; we have not come with any secret purpose.

12 Anage hazanagi ke'zmi rezmanteno agra anage hu'ne, A'o, kegava osu'nona mopati afureta kenaku tamagra e'naze!

And he said to them, No, but you have come to see how poor the land is.

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.

Then they said, We your servants are twelve brothers, sons of one man in the land of Canaan; the youngest of us is now with our father, and one is dead.

14 Hianagi Josefe'a amanage huno rentase hu'ne, Tamagra mopati afure vahere hu'na neramasamue.

And Joseph said, It is as I said; you have come with some secret purpose;

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.

But in this way will you be put to the test: by the life of Pharaoh, you will not go away from this place till 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, and the rest of you will be kept in prison, so that your words may be tested to see if you are true; if not, by the life of Pharaoh, your purpose is certainly secret.

17 Ana nagara maka kina nompi 3'a zagegnafi zamavarentene.

So he put them in prison 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 Joseph said to them, Do this, if you would keep your lives: for I am a god-fearing man:

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 true men, let one of you be kept in prison, while you go and take grain for the needs of your families;

20 Hianagi neramagnana ome avreta nagrite ehanatiho. Anama nehanageno ketamimo'a tamagesesigeta ofrigahaze. Hige'za kema zamasmiaza hu'naze.

And come back to me with your youngest brother, so that your words may be seen to be true, and you will not be put to death. This is what you are to do.

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.

And they said to one another, Truly, we did wrong to our brother, for we saw his grief of mind, and we did not give ear to his prayers; that is why this trouble has come on 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 said to them, Did I not say to you, Do the child no wrong? but you gave no attention; so now, punishment has come on us 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 were not conscious that the sense of their words was clear to Joseph, for he had been talking to them through one who had knowledge of their language.

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 turning away from them, he was overcome with weeping; then he went on talking to them again and took Simeon and put chains on him 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 for their bags to be made full of grain, and for every man's money to be put back into his bag, and for food to be given them for the journey: which was done.

26 Hige'za donki afu'zmimofo agumpi witi ne'zama eririzmantaza erinte'za anantetira atre'za vu'naze.

Then they put the bags of grain on their asses and went away.

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.

Now at their night's resting-place one of them, opening his bag to give his ass some food, saw his money in the mouth of the bag.

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?

And he said to his brothers, My money has been given back: it is in my bag; then their hearts became full of fear, and turning to one another they said, What is this which 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.

So when they came to Jacob their father, in the land of Canaan, they gave him an account of all their experiences, saying,

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 the ruler of the country was rough with us and put us in prison, saying that we had come with a secret evil purpose.

31 Hianagi tagra anage huta asami'none, Tagra tamage vahe mani'nonanki, afure vahera omani'none huta asami'none.

And we said to him, We are true men, we have no evil designs;

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 our father; one is dead, 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.

And the ruler of the land said, In this way I may be certain that you are true men; let one of you be kept here with me, while you go and take grain for the needs of your families;

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.

And come back to me with your youngest brother: then I will be certain that you are true men, and I will give your brother back to you and let you do 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.

And when they took the grain out of their bags, it was seen that every man's parcel of money was in his bag; and when they and their father saw the money, they were full of fear.

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.

And Jacob their father said to them, You have taken my children from me: Joseph is gone and Simeon is gone, and now you would take Benjamin away; all these things have come on 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.

And Reuben said, Put my two sons to death if I do not come back to you with him; let him be in my care and I will give him safely back to you.

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)

And he said, I will not let my son go down with you; for his brother is dead and he is all I have: if evil overtakes him on the journey, then through you will my grey head go down to the underworld in sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
