Ebandeli 43
1 Nzala makasi ekotaki kati na mokili.
And the famine [was] heavy in the land.
2 Tango libota ya Jakobi baliaki biloko nyonso oyo bamemaki wuta na Ejipito, Jakobi alobaki na bana na ye: — Bozonga kuna kosomba ndambo ya biloko.
And it was just when they finished to eat the grain which they had brought from Egypt and he said to them father their go back buy for us a little of food.
3 Yuda azongisaki: — Moto wana alobaki na biso ete tozonga kuna te soki ndeko na biso azali elongo na biso te.
And he said to him Judah saying certainly he warned us the man saying not you will see face my except brother your [is] with you.
4 Soki otiki ndeko na biso kokende elongo na biso, wana tokokende na Ejipito mpe tokosombela yo biloko.
If there you [are] sending brother our with us we will go down and we will buy for you food.
5 Kasi soki otiki ye te, biso mpe tokokende te; pamba te moto wana ayebisaki biso malamu: « Bokotelema liboso na ngai te soki ndeko na bino azali te. »
And if not you [are] sending [him] not we will go down for the man he said to us not you will see face my except brother your [is] with you.
6 Isalaele azongisaki: — Mpo na nini bosali ngai mabe boye? Mpo na nini boyebisaki moto wana ete bozali na ndeko mosusu?
And he said Israel why? did you do harm to me by telling to the man ¿ still [belong] to you [does] a brother.
7 Bazongisaki: — Moto yango atunaki biso malamu makambo oyo etali biso moko mpe libota na biso. Atunaki biso: « Tata na bino azali nanu na bomoi? Bozali na ndeko mosusu ya mobali? » Mpe biso topesaki eyano na mituna na ye. Tokokaki te koyeba ete akoloba na biso: « Boya na ndeko na bino ya mobali awa. »
And they said carefully he asked the man of us and of kindred our saying ¿ still [is] father your living ¿ [does] there [belong] to you a brother and we told to him on [the] mouth of the words these ¿ really did we know that he will say bring down brother your.
8 Yuda ayebisaki tata na ye Isalaele: — Tata, tika Benjame akende elongo na ngai. Tokotelema mpe tokokende mpo ete biso elongo na yo mpe bana na biso, tozala na bomoi, kasi tokufa te na nzala.
And he said Judah to Israel father his send! the young man with me so let us arise and we will go and we may live and not we will die both we as well as you as well as little one[s] our.
9 Nandimi kobatela ye; boye okotuna ye na maboko na ngai. Soki nazongiseli yo ye te mpe namemi ye liboso na yo te, tika ete nazala na ngambo epai na yo bomoi na ngai mobimba.
I I will stand surety for him from hand my you will require him if not I have brought him to you and I will set him before you and I will be culpable to you all the days.
10 Soki towumelaki te, tokokaki kozonga mbala ya mibale.
For if not we had delayed for now we have returned this two times.
11 Tata na bango Isalaele alobaki na bango: — Soki esengeli kozala bongo, wana bosala boye: botia na basaki na bino biloko oyo eleki kitoko kati na mokili mpe bopesa yango lokola kado epai ya moto wana: ndambo ya mafuta ya solo kitoko, ndambo ya mafuta ya nzoyi, biloko ya mike-mike ya solo kitoko, lodanumi, pisitashi mpe bambuma ya amande.
And he said to them Israel father their if so - then this do take some of [the] best products of the land in vessels your and take down to the man a gift a little of balm and a little of honey spice and myrrh pistachio nuts and almonds.
12 Bozwa mbala mibale motuya ya mbongo oyo ezalaki kati na basaki na bino mpe bozongisa mbongo oyo bokutaki na basaki na bino; tango mosusu ezalaki libunga.
And silver double take in hand your and the silver that was returned in [the] mouth of sacks your you will take back in hand your perhaps [was] a mistake it.
13 Bozwa ndeko na bino ya mobali, botelema mpe bozonga epai ya moto wana.
And brother your take and arise go back to the man.
14 Tika ete Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso ayokela bino mawa tango bokotelema liboso ya moto wana, mpo ete bokoka kozwa ndeko na bino mosusu, mpe Benjame azonga elongo na bino. Kasi mpo na ngai, soki nakozanga bana, malamu nazanga bango!
And God Almighty may he give to you compassion before the man and he will let go to you brother your other and Benjamin and I just when I have been bereaved I have been bereaved.
15 Boye bato yango bazwaki bakado; bazwaki lisusu mbala mibale motuya ya mbongo oyo ezalaki na basaki na bango mpe Benjame. Bakendeki na Ejipito mpe bamilakisaki na miso ya Jozefi.
And they took the men the gift this and double money they took in hand their and Benjamin and they arose and they went down Egypt and they stood before Joseph.
16 Tango Jozefi amonaki Benjame elongo na bango, alobaki na moto oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi na ye: « Mema bato oyo na ndako na ngai; boboma nyama moko mpe bolamba yango mpo ete bato oyo bakolia elongo na ngai na midi. »
And he saw Joseph with them Benjamin and he said to [the one] who [was] over household his bring the men the house towards and slaughter a slaughter and prepare [it] for with me they will eat the men at noon.
17 Moto yango asalaki ndenge kaka Jozefi alobaki na ye mpe amemaki bango na ndako ya Jozefi.
And he did the man just as he said Joseph and he brought the man the men [the] house of towards Joseph.
18 Bato yango babangaki makasi tango bamemaki bango na ndako ya Jozefi mpe bazalaki kolobana bango na bango: — Bamemi biso awa likolo ya mbongo oyo batiaki na basaki na biso, na mbala ya liboso. Bakokweya likolo na biso, bakolonga biso, bakokanga biso lokola bawumbu mpe bakozwa ba-ane na biso.
And they were afraid the men that they were brought [the] house of Joseph and they said on [the] matter of the silver which returned in sacks our at the beginning we [are] being brought to roll himself on us and to throw himself on us and to take us to slaves and donkeys our.
19 Bapusanaki pembeni ya moto oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya ndako ya Jozefi mpe balobaki na ye na ekuke ya ndako:
And they approached the man who [was] over [the] household of Joseph and they spoke to him [the] entrance of the house.
20 — Limbisa biso, nkolo na ngai! Toyaki mbala ya liboso mpo na kosomba biloko ya kolia;
And they said pardon us O lord my certainly we came down at the beginning to buy food.
21 kasi tango totelemaki na esika ya kolekisa butu, tofungolaki basaki na biso; mpe moko na moko kati na biso amonaki mbongo na ye kati na saki na ye ndenge kaka ezalaki, yango wana tozongi na yango.
And it was that we came to the lodging place and we opened! sacks our and there! [the] silver of each man [was] in [the] mouth of sack his silver our in weight its and we have brought back it in hand our.
22 Tomemi mbongo mosusu mpo na kosomba biloko ya kolia, toyebi te nani azongisaki mbongo na biso na basaki na biso.
And silver other we have brought down in hand our to buy food not we know who? did he put silver our in sacks our.
23 Alobaki na bango: — Malamu! Bobanga te. Ezali Nzambe na bino, Nzambe ya tata na bino, nde atiaki bomengo kati na basaki na bino. Kasi mpo na mbongo na bino, ngai nazwaki yango. Sima, amemelaki bango Simeoni.

24 Moto yango akotisaki bango na ndako ya Jozefi, apesaki bango mayi ya kosukola makolo mpe abongisaki bilei mpo na ba-ane na bango.
And he brought the man the men [the] house of towards Joseph and he gave water and they washed feet their and he gave fodder to donkeys their.
25 Babongisaki bakado na bango mpo na boyei ya Jozefi na midi, pamba te bayokaki ete bakolia kuna.
And they prepared the gift until came Joseph at noon for they had heard that there they will eat food.
26 Tango Jozefi ayaki na ndako, bapesaki ye bakado oyo bamemaki na ndako mpe bagumbamaki liboso na ye mito na se.
And he came Joseph the house towards and they brought to him the gift which [was] in hand their the house towards and they bowed down to him [the] ground towards.

30 Jozefi ayokaki pasi makasi na motema tango amonaki ndeko na ye, akimaki mbangu na libanda mpe alukaki esika mpo na kolela. Akotaki na shambre na ye mpe alelaki kuna.
And he hurried Joseph for they grew warm compassion his to brother his and he sought to weep and he went the inner room towards and he wept there.

And they sat down before him the firstborn according to birthright his and the young [brother] according to youth his and they looked in astonishment the men each to neighbor his.
34 Jozefi apesaki bango biloko oyo ewutaki na mesa na ye; mpe Benjame azwaki mbala mitano koleka bango nyonso. Na bongo, bamelaki elongo na ye mpe balangwaki.
