Genesis 42
1 Ke Jacob el lohngak lah oasr wheat in acn Egypt, el fahk nu sin wen natul, “Komtal ku mutana ngetnget?
Now when Jacob saw that there was food in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
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 have heard that there is food in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
3 Ouinge tamulel singoul lal Joseph ah som nu Egypt in moul wheat,
And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy grain in Egypt.
4 tusruktu Jacob el tia lela Benjamin, tamulel fusr se lal Joseph, elan welulos, mweyen el sensen ac oasr ma sikyak nu sel.
But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief 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 sons of Israel came to buy grain among those that came: for the famine was 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.
And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
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 Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
8 Joseph el ne akilen mwet wial inge, a elos tiana akilenul.
And Joseph knew 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 Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
10 Ac elos topuk, “Leum lasr, tia ouingan. Kut tuku oana mwet kulansap lom, in moul mongo.
And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
11 Kut inge nukewa tamulel, ac kut tia mwet kalngeyuk. Kut mwet na suwohs.”
We are all one man’s sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
12 Joseph el fahk nu selos, “Mo! Komtal tuku in suk ac konauk lah mea kut munas kac.”
And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
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, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
14 Joseph el topuk, “Oana nga fahk tari ah, komtal mwet kalngeyuk sulallal.
And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto 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 proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest 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, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
17 Ke el fahk ouinge tari, el fuhlelosi in presin ke len tolu.
And he put them all together into ward three days.
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.
And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear 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 bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry food 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 youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. 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 are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
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, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is 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 knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto 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.
And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound 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.
Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with food, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
26 Tamulel ekasr ah nwakani donkey natulos ke wheat ma elos molela ah, na elos mukuiyak som.
And they laded their donkeys with the food, 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 sack to give his donkey provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack’s 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?”
And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
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 unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto 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 the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
31 Ac kut tuh topkol ac fahk, ‘Kut tia mwet sulallal. Kut mwet na suwohs.
And we said unto him, We are true men; we 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 twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest 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.
And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
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 youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick 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 it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
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!”
And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: 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.”
And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
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)
And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
