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 learned that there was grain in Egypt, so Jacob said to his sons, "Why do you look 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.

He said, "Look, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us from there, so that we may live and not die."

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

So Joseph's ten 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, "Some harm might happen 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.

So the sons of Israel went to buy among the other travelers, for the famine was 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 the ruler over the country, and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph's brothers came and bowed themselves down to 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.

Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but he acted like he did not know them, and spoke harshly with them. And he said to them, "Where do you come from?" And they said, "From the land of Canaan to buy food."

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

So Joseph recognized his brothers, but 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.

Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies. You have come to look for the vulnerabilities of the country."

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

But they said to him, "No, my lord, but 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. We are honest men. Your servants are not spies."

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

But he said to them, "No, but you have come to look for the vulnerabilities of the country."

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 said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and look, 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.

But Joseph said to them, "It is as I said to you, saying, '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.

This is how you will be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you will not leave from here until 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 you, and let him get your brother, and you will stay in prison, so that your words can be tested, whether there is truth in you. Or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies."

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

So he put all of them together 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.

Then Joseph said to them the third day, "Do what I say, and live, for I fear God.

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, then let one of your brothers remain confined in your prison; but you go and carry grain for the hunger of your households.

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

But bring your youngest brother to me so that your words will be verified, and you won't die." To this they agreed.

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, "We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, because we saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us, and we wouldn't listen. Therefore 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.

Reuben answered them, saying, "Did I not tell you, saying, 'Do not sin against the boy,' but you wouldn't listen? Therefore, look, now comes a reckoning 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.

Now they did not know that Joseph could understand them, since he was speaking through an interpreter.

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.

He stepped away from them and wept. Then he returned to them and talked with them. Then he took Simeon from them and bound him in front of them.

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, and to restore every man's silver into his sack, and to give them food for the journey. And it was done for them.

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

They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.

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.

As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food at the lodging place, he saw his silver. Look, it was in the mouth of his 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?

He said to his brothers, "My silver has been returned. Look, it is in my sack." And they were dismayed, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, "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.

Then they returned to their father Jacob to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened to them, 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, the lord of the country, spoke harshly to us, and he put us in custody as spies of the country.

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

But we said to him, 'We are honest men. We are 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 our 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.

The man, the lord of the country, said to us, 'By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the hunger of your households, and go your way.

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.

Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and you may travel 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.

Then it happened as they emptied their sacks, that look, every man's bag of silver was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bags of silver, they were afraid.

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.

Then their father Jacob said to them, "You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All this has come 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.

Reuben spoke to his father, saying, "Kill my two sons if I do not bring him to you. Put him in my care, and I will bring him 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)

But he said, "My son will not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should happen to him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol." (Sheol h7585)
