Genesis 43
1 Sracl in acn Canaan yokyokelik,
And the famine [was] severe in the land.
2 ac ke sou lal Jacob kangla nufon wheat ma utuku Egypt me ah, Jacob el fahk nu sin tulik mukul natul, “Tal sifilpa folokla ac molema pac kutu mongo ah nasr.”
And it came to pass, when they had consumed the corn which they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, Go again, buy us a little food.
3 Ac Judah el fahk nu sel, “Mwet sac fahkma kalem na nu sesr lah kut tia ku in sifilpa utyak nu ye mutal tamulel se lasr inge fin tia wi kut.
And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man did solemnly protest to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother [be] with you.
4 Kom fin lela tamulel se lasr inge in wi kut, na kut ac som moul mongo.
If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
5 A kom fin tia lela, na kut tia som, mweyen mwet sac fahkma nu sesr mu ac fah tiana filfilla kut in utyak ye mutal ma lesr fin tia wi kut.”
But if thou wilt not send [him], we will not go down, for the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother [be] with you.
6 Jacob el fahk, “Efu ku komtal fahkang nu sin mwet sac lah oasr pac tamulel se lomtal, oru arulana upa nu sik?”
And Israel said, Why dealt ye [so] ill with me, [as] to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
7 Elos fahk, “Mwet sac sikalani na in siyuk kacsr ac ke sou lasr uh. El fahk, ‘Ku papa tomomtal an srakna moul? Ku oasr pac tamulel lomtal saya?’ Kut enenu na in topuk kusen siyuk lal inge. Kut ac etu fuka lah el ac sap kut in us tamulel se lasr inge wi kut?”
And they said, The man asked us strictly concerning our state, and our kindred, saying, [Is] your father yet alive? have ye [another] brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: Could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
8 Judah el fahk nu sin papa tumal, “Fuhlelma elan wiyu, ac kut ac fah mukuiyak ingena. Na ac fah wangin sesr misa ke masrinsral.
And Judah said to Israel, his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, [and] also our little ones.
9 Nga ac wulewot ke moul luk sifacna, lah ma kunuk in fosrngakunul ac karinganul tuh in wangin ma el sis nwe ke na nga folokunulma nu yurum. Fin tia ouinge, lela mwata in oan fuk nwe tok.
I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not to thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
10 Kut funu tia kolokin nwe inge, kut lukun som folok pacl luo lac tari.”
For except we had delayed, surely now we had returned this second time.
11 Ac Jacob el fahk nu selos, “Kwal, fin pa na ‘ngan ma ac orek uh, tal us kutu fokinsak ma wo emeet ke acn sesr uh in pak lomtal an, mwe lung nu sel governor: kutu ono keng, kutu honey, mwe akyu mongo, fiten pistachio ac almond.
And their father Israel said to them, If [it must be] so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
12 Utuk mani pac in yohk liki meet ah, mweyen komtal enenu in folokunla mani ma oan in pak lomtal ah. Sahp tafongla se pa ma sac.
And take double money in your hand; and the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks, carry [it] again in your hand; it may be it [was] an oversight:
13 Us tamulel se lomtal inge, sulaklak fahsrot.
Take also your brother, and arise, go again to the man:
14 Lela God Kulana Elan oru in oasr pakomuta lun mwet sac nu sumtal, elan ma folokunulot Benjamin ac tamulel se ngia nu sumtal. Ac funu nga, tulik nutik uh fin nuna ma ac tuhlac likiyu, na ac fuka oreya.”
And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin: If I be bereaved, I am bereaved.
15 Ouinge tamulel inge eis mwe lung ac mani pacl luo yohk liki meet ah, ac mukuiyak nu Egypt, ac Benjamin el welulos. Ke elos sun acn we, elos utyak na nwe ye mutal Joseph.
And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and arose, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
16 Ke Joseph el liyalak Benjamin lah el welulos, el fahk nu sin mwet kulansap se su taran ma nukewa lohm sel ah, “Usla mwet inge nu lohm ah. Elos ac wiyu mongo ke infulwen len uh. Tuh uniya soko kosro ah, ac akoela.”
And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring [these] men home, and slay, and make ready: for [these] men shall dine with me at noon.
17 Mwet kulansap sac oru oana ke sapkin nu sel. El pwanla tamulel inge nu lohm sel Joseph.
And the man did as Joseph commanded: and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
18 Ke utukla elos nu lohm sac, elos sangeng ac nunku in elos sifacna, “Utuku kut nu inse inge ke sripen mani ma tuh oan in pak lasr ke fahsr se lasr meet ah. Elos ac forma uni kut, eisla donkey natusr uh, ac oru kut in mwet kohs lun leum sac.”
And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time, are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bond-men, and our asses.
19 Ouinge ke elos sun acn in utyak nu in lohm ah, elos fahk nu sin mwet kulansap sac,
And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
20 “Leum se, nunak munas porongekut. Kut tuh tuku pac nu inge meet in moul mongo.
And said, O sir, we came down indeed at the first time to buy food:
21 Ke kut folok nu yen sesr, ac tui inkanek lasr in mongla ke fongeni, kut konauk mani lasr ah nufon, oanna oelucng in pak lun kais sie sesr. Pa kut folokonma inge.
And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and behold, [every] man's money [was] in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
22 Kut oayapa utuk mani saya in tuh sifil moli kutu mongo ah. Kut tiana etu lah su tuh folokonang mani ah nu in pak lasr ah.”
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
23 Mwet kulansap sac fahk, “Nimet elya kac. Nimet sangeng. Sahp God lowos, God lun papa tomowos, pa filiya mani an in pak lowos ah. Nga sruokya tari molin ma kowos eis meet ah.” Na el usalu Simeon nu yorolos.
And he said, Peace [be] to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out to them.
24 Mwet kulansap sac usak tamulel ekasr ah nu in lohm ah. El sang kof nu selos in ohlla nialos, ac el kiteya donkey natulos.
And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave [them] water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
25 Elos akoela mwe lung lalos ah, in sang nu sel Joseph ke el ac tuku ke infulwen len ah, mweyen fwackyang tari nu selos lah elos ac welul mongo.
And they made ready the present against Joseph should come at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
26 Ke Joseph el sun lohm ah, elos us mwe lung lalos uh nu sel, ac pasrla nwe infohk uh ye mutal.
And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which [was] in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
27 El siyuk selos lah elos fuka, na el sifil fahk, “Komtal tuh fahk nu sik ke matuoh lun papa tomomtal ah. El fuka? El srakna moul ac ku na?”
And he asked them of [their] welfare, and said, [Is] your father well, the old man of whom ye spoke? [Is] he yet alive?
28 Elos fahk, “Papa tumasr, mwet kulansap lom, el srakna moul ac el ku na.” Na elos muta liplipi ac pasrla nwe ten ye mutal.
And they answered, Thy servant, our father, [is] in good health, he [is] yet alive: and they bowed their heads and made obeisance.
29 Ke Joseph el liyalak Benjamin, ma lel, el fahk, “Ya pa inge tamulel se ma fusr emeet lomtal, ma komtal srumun nu sik ah? Ma nutik, God Elan akinsewowoye kom.”
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, [Is] this your younger brother, of whom ye spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to thee, my son.
30 Na Joseph el kina tuyak ac som lukelos, mweyen el arulana asroela tulik wial inge, ac apkuran elan tungyak. Ouinge el som nu infukil sel ac tung we.
And Joseph made haste; for his bowels yearned towards his brother: and he sought [where] to weep; and he entered into [his] chamber, and wept there.
31 Tukun el twanla mutal el ilme ac liksreni kutong nunak lal, ac sapkin in tari yuyui mongo uh.
And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
32 Kitakat Joseph ke sie tepu uh, ac tamulel lal ah ke sie pacna tepu. Mwet Egypt ma welulos mongo uh srengla liki mwet inge ac mongo ke sie pacna tepu, ke sripen elos filiya in nunak lalos mu mwet Hebrew uh kupansuwol in welulos mongo.
And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who ate with him, by themselves; because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that [is] an abomination to the Egyptians.
33 Tamulel inge muta ke tepu se, forang nu yorol Joseph, tuh na eltal muta tak in na matwa, matu nwe ke fusr. Ke elos akilen ouiyen mutangalos, elos tukeni angetani ac arulana fwefela.
And they sat before him, the first-born according to his birth-right, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men wondered one at another.
34 Mwe mongo uh kitakat nu selos liki tepu lal Joseph, ac kitakat Benjamin pacl limekosr yohk liki mwet wial ah nukewa. Ouinge elos welul Joseph mongo ac nim, nwe ke na elos arulana sruhila.
And he took [and sent] messes to them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
