1 Awo enjala bwe yayinga obungi mu nsi,
And the derth waxed sore in the lande.
2 era nga ne mmere gye baggya e Misiri yonna eriiriddwa, kitaabwe n’abagamba nti mugende mutugulire emmere.
And when they had eate vp that corne which they brought out of the lande of Egipte their father sayde vnto them: goo agayne and by vs a litle food.
3 Naye Yuda n’amuddamu nti, “Omusajja yatukuutirira ddala ng’agamba nti, ‘Temulinyanga ekigere mu maaso gange nga temuzze na muganda wammwe.’
Than sayde Iuda vnto him: the man dyd testifie vnto vs saynge: loke that ye see not my face excepte youre brother be with you.
4 Bw’onokkiriza tuserengete ne muganda waffe okugula emmere, olwo tunaagenda.
Therfore yf thou wilt sende oure brother with vs we wyll goo and bye the food.
5 Naye bw’otomukkirize kugenda naffe, tetujja kuserengeta, kubanga omusajja yatugamba nti, ‘Temugenda kulaba maaso gange nga muganda wammwe tali nammwe.’”
But yf thou wylt not sende him we wyll not goo: for the man sayde vnto vs: loke that ye see not my face excepte youre brother be with you.
6 Isirayiri kwe kubaddamu nti, “Mwankola ki kino eky’obubalagaze ne mugamba omusajja nti mulina muganda wammwe omulala.”
And Israell sayde: wherfore delt ye so cruelly with me as to tell the man that ye had yet another brother?
7 Ne bagamba nti, “Omusajja yatubuuza nnyo ebitufaako awamu n’ebifa ku lulyo lwaffe, ng’abuuza nti, ‘Kitammwe gyali mulamu? Mulina muganda wammwe omulala?’ Kye twamutegeeza nga kiddamu buzzi ebibuuzo bye yatubuuzanga. Tetwamanya ng’anaatugamba okuserengesa muganda waffe.”
And they sayde: The man asked vs of oure kynred saynge: is youre father yet alyue? haue ye not another brother? And we tolde him acordynge to these wordes. How cowd we knowe that he wolde byd vs brynge oure brother downe with vs?
8 Era Yuda n’agamba Isirayiri kitaawe nti, “Mpa omulenzi tulyoke tugende tube balamu, tuleme okufa enjala, ffe naawe n’abaana baffe.
Than sayde Iuda vnto Israell his father: Send the lad with me and we wyll ryse and goo that we maye lyue and not dye: both we thou and also oure childern.
9 Nze newaddeyo okumukuuma, olimubuuza nze. Bwe sirikumuddiza, ne mussa mu maaso go mbeereko omusango ennaku zonna.
I wilbe suertie for him and of my handes requyre him. Yf I brynge him not to the and sett him before thine eyes than let me bere the blame for euer.
10 Kubanga singa tetwalwa twandibadde tukomyewo omulundi ogwokubiri.”
For except we had made this tarieg: by this we had bene there twyse and come agayne.
11 Awo Isirayiri kitaabwe n’abagamba nti, “Bwe kinaaba bwe kityo, kale mukole bwe muti: mutwale ebimu ku bibala bya muno mu nsawo zammwe, mutwalire omusajja ekirabo: envumbo ntono, n’omubisi, n’omugavu, n’obubaane ne mooli n’ebinyeebwa ne Alumoni.
Than their father Israel sayde vnto the Yf it must nedes be so now: than do thus take of the best frutes of the lande in youre vesselles and brynge the man a present a curtesie bawlme and a curtesie of hony spyces and myrre dates and almondes.
12 Mutwale n’ensimbi za mirundi ebiri nga mutwala na ziri ezaali ku mimwa gye nsawo zammwe, osanga omuntu yakola nsobi.
And take as moch money more with you. And the money that was brought agayne in youre sackes take it agayne with you in youre handes peraduenture it was some ouersyghte.
13 Mutwale ne muganda wammwe, musituke muddeyo eri omusajja.
Take also youre brother with you and aryse and goo agayne to the man.
14 Katonda Ayinzabyonna abawe omukisa mu maaso g’omusajja, alyoke aleke muganda wammwe oli awamu ne Benyamini bakomewo. Obanga obulumi bw’okufa kw’abaana bange bulintuukako, kale.”
And God almightie geue you mercie in the sighte of the man and send you youre other brother and also Be Iamin and I wilbe as a ma robbed of his childern.
15 Awo ne batwala ebirabo n’ensimbi za mirundi ebiri, ne Benyamini ne baserengeta naye e Misiri ne bayimirira mu maaso ga Yusufu.
Thus toke they the present and twise so moch more money with them and Ben Iamin. And rose vp went downe to Egipte and presented them selfe to Ioseph.
16 Awo Yusufu bwe yalaba nga bali ne Benyamini n’agamba omuweereza we nti, “Bayingize mu nnyumba, otte ensolo ofumbe ekijjulo, kubanga abasajja abo baakulya nange ekyemisana.”
When Ioseph sawe Ben Iamin with them he sayde to the ruelar of his house: brynge these men home and sley and make redie: for they shall dyne with me at none.
17 Omusajja n’akola nga Yusufu bwe yamulagira, n’ayingiza abasajja mu nnyumba ya Yusufu.
And the man dyd as Ioseph bad and brought them in to Iosephs house.
18 Abasajja ne batya olw’okutwalibwa mu nnyumba ya Yusufu, ne bagamba nti kino kizze lwa nsimbi ezatuddizibwa ne ziteekebwa mu nsawo zaffe omulundi guli, kyetuvudde tuleetebwa wano, anoonye ensonga ku ffe atuvunaane, atufuule abaddu awambe n’endogoyi zaffe.
When they were brought to Iosephs house they were afrayde ad sayde: be cause of the money yt came in oure sackes mouthes at the first tyme are we brought to pyke a quarell with vs and to laye some thinge to oure charge: to brynge us in bondage and oure asses also.
19 Awo ne bambuka n’omuweereza mu nnyumba ya Yusufu,
Therfore came they to the man that was the ruelar ouer Iosephs house and comened with him at the doore
20 ne bagamba nti Ayi mukama waffe, twajja omulundi ogwasooka okugula emmere,
and sayde: Sir we came hither at the first tyme to bye foode
21 bwe twatuuka mu kifo we twasula, ne tusumulula ensawo zaffe, nga mu buli kamwa k’ensawo ya buli omu mulimu ensimbi ze ezaali ez’okugula emmere, kyetuvudde tuzizza,
and as we came to an Inne and opened oure sackes: beholde euery mannes money was in his sacke with full weghte: But we haue broght it agene with us
22 era tuleese n’endala olw’okugula emmere. Tetumanyi yateeka nsimbi mu nsawo zaffe.
and other mony haue we brought also in oure handes to bye foode but we can not tell who put oure money in oure sackes.
23 Ye n’abaddamu nti, “Mubeere bagumu temutya. Katonda wammwe era Katonda wa kitammwe ye yabateekera obugagga mu nsawo zammwe; ensimbi zammwe nazifuna.” Awo kwe kubaleetera Simyoni.
And he sayde: be of good chere feare not: Youre God and the God of youre fathers hath put you that treasure in youre sackes for I had youre money. And he brought Simeon out to them
24 Omusajja bwe yamala okuyingiza abasajja abo mu nnyumba ya Yusufu, nga bamaze n’okunaaba ebigere, ng’amaze n’okuliisa endogoyi zaabwe,
ad led the into Iosephs house and gaue the water to washe their fete and gaue their asses prauender:
25 ne bateekateeka ekirabo kya Yusufu bakimuwe mu ttuntu, kubanga baamanya nga bajja kuliira eyo.
And they made redie their present agaynst Ioseph came at none for they herde saye that they shulde dyne there.
26 Yusufu bwe yakomawo eka ne bamuleetera ekirabo kye baalina ne bamuvuunamira.
When Ioseph came home they brought the present in to the house to him which they had in their handes ad fell flat on the grounde befor him.
27 N’ababuuza bwe bali, n’ababuuza nti, “Kitammwe akyali mulamu bulungi?”
And he welcomed the curteously sainge: is youre father that old man which ye tolde me of in good health? and is he yet alyue?
28 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Ssebo, kitaffe akyali mulamu era ali bulungi.” Ne bavuunama mu bukkakkamu.
they answered: thy servaunte oure father is in good health ad is yet alyue. And they bowed them selues and fell to the grounde.
29 Yusufu bwe yayimusa amaaso, n’alaba Benyamini muganda we, mutabani wa nnyina. N’ababuuza nti, “Ono ye muto wammwe gwe mwantegeezako? Katonda akuwe omukisa mwana wange.”
And he lyfte vp his eyes and behelde his brother Ben Iamin his mothers sonne and sayde: is this youre yongest brother of whome ye sayde vnto me? And sayde: God be mercyfull vnto ye my sonne.
30 Awo Yusufu n’ayanguwa okuva mu maaso gaabwe, kubanga omutima gwe gwalumwa olwa muganda we, n’anoonya ekifo w’anaakabira. N’alinnya mu kisenge kye n’akaabira eyo.
And Ioseph made hast (for his hert dyd melt apon his brother) and soughte for to wepe and entred in to his chambre for to wepe there.
31 N’anaaba amaziga n’afuluma, n’aguma n’alagira emmere egabwe.
And he wasshed his face and came out and refrayned himselfe and bad sett bread on the table
32 Ye ne bamuwa eyiye yekka, ne baganda be bokka, n’Abamisiri abalya naye nabo ne bagabulwa bokka, kubanga Abamisiri tebalyanga n’Abaebulaniya, kubanga kyali kivve eri Abamisiri.
And they prepared for him by himselfe and for them by them selues and for the Egiptians which ate with him by them selues because the Egyptians may not eate bread with the Hebrues for that is an abhomynacyon vnto the Egiptians.
33 Awo baganda ba Yusufu ne batuula mu maaso ge nga baddiriŋŋana okuva ku mukulu mu buzaale bwabwe okutuuka ku muto; ne batunulaganako nga beewuunya.
And they satt before him: the eldest acordynge vnto his age and the yongest acordyng vnto his youth. And the men marveled amonge them selves.
34 Yusufu n’abakoleza ebitole okuva ku mmeeza ye, naye ekitole kya Benyamini ne kisinga ekya baganda be emirundi etaano. Bwe batyo ne balya ne basanyukira wamu ne Yusufu.
And they broughte rewardes vnto them from before him: but Ben Iamins parte was fyue tymes so moch as any of theirs. And they ate and they dronke and were dronke wyth him.
