Genesis 42
1 Ke Jacob el lohngak lah oasr wheat in acn Egypt, el fahk nu sin wen natul, “Komtal ku mutana ngetnget?
Then Iaakob saw that there was foode in Egypt, and Iaakob said vnto his sonnes, Why gaze ye one vpon an other?
2 Nga lohng mu oasr wheat in acn Egypt. Tal fahla nu we ac molema kutu nasr, kut in tia masrinsral nwe misa.”
And he said, Behold, I haue heard that there is foode in Egypt, Get you downe thither, and bie vs foode thence, that we may liue and not die.
3 Ouinge tamulel singoul lal Joseph ah som nu Egypt in moul wheat,
So went Iosephs ten brethren downe to bye corne of the Egyptians.
4 tusruktu Jacob el tia lela Benjamin, tamulel fusr se lal Joseph, elan welulos, mweyen el sensen ac oasr ma sikyak nu sel.
But Beniamin Iosephs brother woulde not Iaakob send with his brethren: for he saide, Least death should befall him.
5 Tulik mukul natul Jacob elos wi pac mwet puspis saya som in moul wheat, mweyen sracl sac sun pac acn Canaan.
And the sonnes of Israel came to bye foode among them that came: for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
6 Ke Joseph pa governor lun acn Egypt ah, el kukakin wheat uh nu sin mwet yen nukewa fin faclu. Ouinge tamulel lal Joseph elos tuku ac faksufi ye mutal.
Now Ioseph was gouerner of the land, who solde to all the people of the lande: then Iosephs brethren came, and bowed their face to the groud before him.
7 Ke Joseph el liyeak tamulel lal inge, el akilenulos, tusruktu el oru oana elan tia etalos. El kouyak ac siyuk selos, “Komtal tuku ya me?” Elos fahk, “Kut tuku Canaan me in moul mongo.”
And when Ioseph sawe his brethren, hee knewe them, and made himselfe straunge toward them, and spake to them roughly, and saide vnto them, Whence come yee? Who answered, Out of the land of Canaan, to bye vitaile.
8 Joseph el ne akilen mwet wial inge, a elos tiana akilenul.
(Now Ioseph knewe his brethren, but they knew not him.
9 El esamak mweme ma el tuh oru ah, ac fahk nu seltal, “Komtal mwet kalngeyuk sulallal. Komtal tuku in konauk lah mea facl sesr uh munas kac uh.”
And Ioseph remembred the dreames, which he dreamed of them) and he sayde vnto them, Ye are spies, and are come to see the weaknesse of the land.
10 Ac elos topuk, “Leum lasr, tia ouingan. Kut tuku oana mwet kulansap lom, in moul mongo.
But they sayde vnto him, Nay, my lorde, but to bye vitayle thy seruants are come.
11 Kut inge nukewa tamulel, ac kut tia mwet kalngeyuk. Kut mwet na suwohs.”
Wee are all one mans sonnes: wee meane truely, and thy seruants are no spies.
12 Joseph el fahk nu selos, “Mo! Komtal tuku in suk ac konauk lah mea kut munas kac.”
But he saide vnto them, Nay, but yee are come to see the weakenes of the land.
13 Na elos fahk, “Leum lasr, kut tuh tamulel singoul luo nufon, ac kut wen nutin papa sefanna in acn Canaan. Sie tamulel inge misa, ac ma se ma fusr oemeet uh oasr na yurin papa tumasr ah.”
And they said, We thy seruants are twelue brethren, the sonnes of one man in the lande of Canaan: and beholde, the yongest is this day with our father, and one is not.
14 Joseph el topuk, “Oana nga fahk tari ah, komtal mwet kalngeyuk sulallal.
Againe Ioseph sayde vnto them, This is it that I spake vnto you, saying, Ye are spies.
15 Pa inge ma nga ac oru in konauk lah pwaye ma komtal fahk uh: Nga fulahk ke inen tokosra, lah komtal ac fah tiana som liki acn inge nwe ke na tamulel se ma fusr emeet lomtal an tuku nu yenu.
Hereby ye shall be proued: by the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not goe hence, except your yongest brother come hither.
16 Sie sumtal enenu in som usalu. Mwet lula an ac fah mutana in presin nwe ke na akpwayeyuk kas lomtal an. Fin tia ouinge, na oana ke tokosra el moul, komtal mwet sulallal.”
Send one of you which may fet your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proued, whether there bee trueth in you: or els by the life of Pharaoh ye are but spies.
17 Ke el fahk ouinge tari, el fuhlelosi in presin ke len tolu.
So he put them in warde three dayes.
18 Ke len se aktolu ah, Joseph el fahk nu selos, “Nga mwet etu sangeng sin God se, ac sripa sefanna pa nga ac ku in tia unikomtal uh kac.
Then Ioseph said vnto them the third day, This do, and liue: for I feare God.
19 In akpwayei lah komtal pwayena, sie sumtal ac fah mutana in presin, yen ma komtal muta we ah. Mwet lula an ku in folokla, us wheat ma komtal molela ah, nu yurin sou lomtal ma muta masrinsral soanekomtal an.
If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bounde in your prison house, and goe ye, carie foode for the famine of your houses:
20 Na komtal enenu na in tuh foloko use tamulel se ma fusr oemeet lomtal an nu yuruk. Ma se inge ac fah akpwayei lah ma komtal fahk an ma pwaye, na nga fah tia sap in anwuki komtal.” Elos insese nu kac
But bring your yonger brother vnto me, that your wordes may be tried, and that ye dye not: and they did so.
21 ac fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Pwayena lah inge kut eis mwatan ma kut tuh oru nu sin tamulel se lasr ah. Kut tuh liye fosrnga lulap lal ke el kwafe kut in kasrel, a kut tia lohngol ah. Ma ingan pa pwanang kut sun ongoiya inge.”
And they said one to another, We haue verily sinned against our brother, in that we sawe the anguish of his soule, when he besought vs, and we would not heare him: therefore is this trouble come vpon vs.
22 Ac Reuben el fahk, “Nga na fahk mu komtal in tia oru kutena ma nu sin tulik sac, a komtal tiana lohngyu. Ac inge kut eis mwatan misa lal ah.”
And Reuben answered them, saying, Warned I not you, saying, Sinne not against the childe, and ye would not heare? and lo, his blood is now required.
23 Joseph el kalem ke ma elos kaskaskin, tusruktu elos tia etu lah el etu mweyen oasr mwet se tafu kas lalos nu sel.
(And they were not aware that Ioseph vnderstoode them: for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.)
24 Joseph el som lukelos ac mutawauk in tung. Ke el ku in sifil kaskas el foloko, srella Simeon, ac sap kapiri el ye mutalos.
Then he turned from them, and wept, and turned to them againe, and communed with them, and tooke Simeon from among them, and bounde him before their eyes.
25 Joseph el sapkin in nwanala pak lun tamulel lal ah ke wheat, ac in folokinyukyang mani lun kais sie nu in pak lal sifacna, ac in itukyang pac mongo ma elos in kang ke elos ac folok nu yen selos. Ma inge orekla oana ke el fahk ah.
So Ioseph commanded that they should fill their sackes with wheate, and put euery mans money againe in his sacke, and giue them vitaile for the iourney: and thus did he vnto them.
26 Tamulel ekasr ah nwakani donkey natulos ke wheat ma elos molela ah, na elos mukuiyak som.
And they layed their vitaile vpon their asses, and departed thence.
27 Ke elos sun acn se elos ac mongla we ke fong sac, sie selos ikasla pak lal ah in kiteya donkey natul uh, tuh konauk lah mani lal ah oan oelucng in pak lal ah.
And as one of them opened his sacke for to giue his asse prouender in the ynne, he espyed his money: for lo, it was in his sackes mouth.
28 Ac el wola ac fahk nu sin tulik wial ah kewa, “Mani luk ah folokinyukme nu sik — pa oan in pak luk uh inge!” Insialos putat na oelucngi ke sangeng, ac elos rarrar ke elos asiyuki sie sin sie ac fahk, “Mea God El oru nu sesr inge?”
Then he sayde vnto his brethren, My money is restored: for loe, it is euen in my sacke. And their heart fayled them, and they were astonished, and sayde one to another, What is this, that God hath done vnto vs?
29 Ke elos tuku nu yorol Jacob, papa tumalos in acn Canaan, elos fahkang nu sel ma nukewa ma sikyak nu selos, ac fahk,
And they came vnto Iaakob their father vnto the lande of Canaan, and tolde him all that had befallen them, saying,
30 “Governor lun acn Egypt el tuh kaskas arulana kou nu sesr, ac fahk mu kut mwet kalngeyuk sulallal lain facl sel.
The man, who is Lord of the lande, spake roughly to vs, and put vs in prison as spyes of the countrey.
31 Ac kut tuh topkol ac fahk, ‘Kut tia mwet sulallal. Kut mwet na suwohs.
And we sayd vnto him, We are true men, and are no spies.
32 Kut tuh tamulel singoul luo nufon nutin papa sefanna, ac sie sin tamulel inge misa, ac ma se ma fusr oemeet uh el srakna oasr Canaan yurin papa tumasr ah.’
We be twelue brethren, sonnes of our father: one is not, and the yongest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
33 Ac mwet sac fahk, ‘Pa inge ma se nga ac oru in konauk lah komtal mwet suwohs uh: sie sumtal ac mutana inge, ac ma lula an ac fah us wheat uh ac som nu yen sumtal nu yurin sou lomtal ma masrinsral.
Then the Lord of the countrey sayde vnto vs, Hereby shall I knowe if ye be true men: Leaue one of your brethren with me, and take foode for the famine of your houses and depart,
34 Tal tuh use tamulel se ma srik oemeet lomtal an nu yuruk, na nga fah etu lah komtal mwet suwohs ac tia mwet sulallal. Nga fah folokunulot tamulel se lomtal inge nu sumtal, ac komtal fah ku in muta inge, moul ac kuka.’”
And bring your yongest brother vnto me, that I may knowe that ye are no spies, but true men: so will I deliuer you your brother, and yee shall occupie in the land.
35 Na ke elos okoala pak lalos, elos nukewa konauk lah mani lalos ah oanna in pak lalos. Ac ke elos liye mani uh, elos arulana sangengla, ac Jacob, papa tumalos, el wi pac sangeng.
And as they emptied their sacks, behold, euery mans bundel of money was in his sacke: and when they and their father sawe the bundels of their money, they were afrayde.
36 Jacob el fahk nu selos, “Ya kowos lungse oru tulik nutik uh kewa in wanginla? Joseph el wanginla, Simeon el wanginla, ac inge komtal ke usalla pac Benjamin. Nga pa ac keokkin ma inge uh!”
Then Iaakob their father said to them, Ye haue robbed me of my children: Ioseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Beniamin: all these things are against me.
37 Reuben el fahk nu sin papa tumal, “Nga fin tia folokunulma Benjamin nu yurum, kom ku in uniya wen luo nutik uh. Fuhlelma nu sik ngan karinganal, ac nga fah folokunulma.”
Then Reuben answered his father, saying, Slay my two sonnes, if I bring him not to thee againe: deliuer him to mine hand, and I will bring him to thee againe.
38 Tusruktu Jacob el fahk, “Wen nutik el ac tia wi komtal som. Tamulel lal el misa, ac el mukena lula. Ac ku pac in oasr ma sikyak nu sel inkanek uh. Nga matuoh inge, ac mwe asor komtal oru nu sik inge ku na in uniyuwi.” (Sheol h7585)
But he said, My sonne shall not go downe with you: for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if death come vnto him by the way which ye goe, then ye shall bring my gray head with sorow vnto the graue. (Sheol h7585)
