Genesisy 42

1 Ary fantatr’ i Jakoba fa nisy vary tany Egypta, dia hoy izy tamin’ ny zananilahy: Nahoana no mifampijery foana ianareo?

Then saw Jacob that there was corn in Egypt, —and Jacob said to his sons, Wherefore look ye one at another?

2 Dia hoy koa izy: Indro, efa reko fa misy vary any Egypta; andeha midìna any ianareo, ka mividia ho antsika, mba ho velona isika, fa tsy ho faty.

And he said, Lo I have heard that there is corn in Egypt, —Go down thither and buy corn for us from thence, that we may live and not die.

3 Dia lasa nidina izy folo lahy rahalahin’ i Josefa mba hividy vary tany Egypta.

So Joseph’s ten brethren went down, —to buy corn from the Egyptians;

4 Fa Benjamina, rahalahin’ i Josefa, tsy mba nampandehanin’ i Jakoba niaraka tamin’ ny rahalahiny; fa hoy izy: Andrao hisy loza hanjo azy.

but, Benjamin, Joseph’s own brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren, —for he said, Lest there befall him any mischief.

5 Dia tonga ny zanak’ Isiraely mba hividy vary niaraka tamin’ izay nankany; fa tratry ny mosary koa ny tany Kanana.

Thus came in the sons of Israel, to buy corn in the midst of them that came—for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

6 Ary Josefa no mpanapaka ny tany, sady izy no mpivaro-bary tamin’ ny tompon-tany rehetra; ary tonga ny rahalahin’ i Josefa ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehany.

Now, Joseph—he, it was, that was in power over the land, he, it was that was selling corn to all the people of the land, —so Joseph’s brethren came in, and bowed themselves down to him, with their faces to the earth.

7 Ary hitan’ i Josefa ny rahalahiny, dia fantany ihany izy, nefa nody olon-kafa taminy izy ka niteny mafy taminy nanao hoe: Avy aiza ianareo? Ary hoy kosa izy: Avy any amin’ ny tany Kanana izahay mba hividy hanina.

And Joseph beheld his brethren and recognised them, —and made himself a stranger unto them and spake with them harsh things and said unto them—Whence have ye come in? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food.

8 Ary fantatr’ i Josefa ny rahalahiny, nefa izy ireo kosa tsy mba nahafantatra azy.

And Joseph recognised his brethren, —whereas they, recognised him not.

9 Ary Josefa nahatsiaro ireo nofy nanofisany azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mpisafo ianareo; hizaha ny fangadihadin’ ny tany no nahatongavanareo.

And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed regarding them, —so he said unto them—Spies, are, ye! to see the nakedness of the land, have ye come in!

10 Fa hoy izy ireo taminy: Tsia, tompokolahy; fa tonga mba hividy hanina ny mpanomponao.

And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, —but, thy servants, are come to buy food.

11 Zanaky ny lehilahy iray ihany izahay rehetra; olo-marina izahay, fa tsy mba mpisafo tsy akory ny mpanomponao.

All of us, are, sons of one man, —honest men, are we: thy servants are not, spies.

12 Ary hoy izy taminy: Tsia, fa hizaha ny fangadihadin’ ny tany no nahatongavanareo.

And he said unto him, —Nay! but, the nakedness of the land, are ye come in to see.

13 Fa hoy izy; Roa ambin’ ny folo mirahalahy ny mpanomponao, zanaky ny lehilahy iray ihany any amin’ ny tany Kanana; ary, indro, ny faralahy dia any amin’ ny rainay ankehitriny, fa ny anankiray tsy ao intsony.

And they said: We, thy twelve servants, are, brethren, sons of one man in the and of Canaan, —and lo! the youngest: is with our father this day, and, the one, is not!

14 Ary hoy Josefa taminy: Ilay voalazako taminareo ihany hoe: Mpisafo ianareo no marina;

And Joseph said unto them, —The very thing, that I spake unto you, saying—Spies, are, ye.

15 dia izao àry no hamantarana anareo: Raha velona koa Farao, tsy hiala atỳ ianareo, raha tsy tonga atỳ izany zandrinareo faralahy izany.

Hereby, shall ye be proved, —By the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not go forth from hence, save only by the coming in of your youngest brother hither.

16 Iraho ny anankiray aminareo, ary aoka izy haka ny zandrinareo, fa ianareo hafatotra, mba hofantarina ny teninareo, na marina na tsia; fa raha tsy izany, raha velona koa Farao, dia mpisafo tokoa ianareo.

Send—from among you—one that he may fetch your brother, but be, ye, held as prisoners, that your words may be proved whether, truth, is with you, —and, if not, by the life of Pharaoh, surely, spies, ye are.

17 Dia nataony tao an-trano-maizina hateloana izy rehetra.

So he drew them all together into ward, for three days.

18 Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahatelo dia hoy Josefa taminy: Izao no ataovy, dia ho velona ianareo; fa izaho matahotra an’ Andriamanitra:

And Joseph said unto them on the third day, This, do and live, —God himself, do, I, revere.

19 Raha olo-marina ary ianareo, dia aoka ny anankiray aminareo mirahalahy avy no hafatotra ao amin’ ny trano-maizina nitoeranareo; ary mandehana ianareo hitondra vary noho ny mosary any amin’ ny tranonareo;

If ye, are, honest men, one brother of you shall be kept as a prisoner in your house of ward, —but, ye, go, take in corn for the famine of your houses;

20 ary ny zandrinareo faralahy dia ento mankaty amiko; dia ho hita fa marina ny teninareo, ary tsy hovonoina ianareo. Ary nataony izany.

and your youngest brother, shall ye bring in unto me, that your words may be confirmed, and ye die not. And they did so.

21 Dia niresaka hoe izy: Efa meloka tokoa isika noho ny amin’ ny rahalahintsika, satria nahita ny fahorian’ ny fanahiny isika, raha nitaraina tamintsika izy, nefa tsy mba nihaino isika; koa izany no nahatongavan’ izao fahoriana izao amintsika.

And they said each man unto his brother—Verily guilty, we are, respecting our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul when he appealed unto us for favour and we hearkened not, —therefore, hath come in unto us this distress.

22 Dia namaly azy Robena ka nanao hoe: Moa tsy niteny taminareo va aho ka nanao hoe: Aza manota amin’ ny zaza? nefa tsy mba nihaino ianareo; koa indro fa adinina ny ràny izao.

And Reuben responded to them, saying—Spake I not unto you saying, Do not sin against the child! And ye hearkened not? His very blood, therefore lo! it is required.

23 Ary izy ireo tsy mba nahalala fa Josefa nahafantatra ny teniny, satria nisy mpandika teny niresahany taminy.

But, they, knew not that Joseph was hearkening, —for, the interpreter, was between them.

24 Ary Josefa dia nihodina niala teo aminy ka nitomany; ary niverina nankeo aminy indray izy ka niteny taminy, ary dia naka an’ i Simeona teo aminy izy ka namatotra azy teo imasony.

So he turned away from them, and wept, —then came back unto them and spake unto them, and took away from them Simeon, and bound him prisoner before their eyes.

25 Ary Josefa nanome teny hameno vary ny lasakany sady hamerina ny volan’ ny isan-dahy ho ao anatin’ ny lasakany avy ary hanome vatsy azy ho entiny eny an-dalana; dia nanao izany taminy izy.

Then commanded Joseph that their bags should be filled with corn, and their silver be returned each man’s into his sack, and provision be given for the journey, —and it was done to them thus.

26 Ary natainginy tamin’ ny borikiny ny vary, dia lasa nandeha izy.

So they lifted up their corn on their asses, —and went their way, from thence.

27 Ary raha nosokafan’ ny anankiray ny lasakany hampihinanany ny borikiny teo amin’ izay handriany, dia hitany ny volany; fa, indro, teo am-bavan’ ny lasakany izany.

And the first opened his sack to give fodder to his ass at the inn, —and beheld his silver, yea there, it was in the mouth of his sack!

28 Dia hoy izy tamin’ ireo rahalahiny: Naverina ny volako, ka, indro, eo anatin’ ny lasakako izany; dia ketraka ny fony, ary nifampijery amin-tahotra izy ka niresaka hoe: Inona izao ataon’ Andriamanitra amintsika izao?

So he said unto his brethren My silver hath been returned, yea verily, there it is in my sack! Then went forth their heart and they turned trembling—each man unto his brother saying. What is this that God hath done to us?

29 Ary tonga tany amin’ i Jakoba rainy, tany amin’ ny tany Kanana izy, dia nambarany taminy izay rehetra efa nanjo azy, ka hoy izy:

So they came in unto Jacob their father to the land of Canaan, —and told him all that had befallen them saying:

30 Mafy ny teny nataon-dralehilahy, tompon’ ny tany, taminay, fa nataony ho mpisafo ny tany izahay.

The man that is lord of the land spake unto us harsh things, —and then delivered us up. as spies of the land.

31 Ary hoy izahay taminy: Olo-marina izahay, fa tsy mba mpisafo tsy akory;

And we said unto him Honest men, are, we, —we are not spies!

32 roa ambin’ ny folo mirahalahy izahay no zanaky ny rainay; tsy ao intsony ny anankiray, ary ny faralahy dia any amin’ ny rainay any amin’ ny tany Kanana ankehitriny.

Twelve brethren, are, we, sons of our father, —the one, is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.

33 Dia hoy ralehilahy, tompon’ ny tany, taminay: Izao ary no hahafantarako fa olo-marina ianareo: ny anankiray aminareo mirahalahy avy dia avelao atỳ amiko, ka mitondra vary noho ny mosary any amin’ ny tranonareo, dia mandehana;

Then said the man the lord of the land unto us, Hereby, shall I get to know that honest men, ye are, —One brother of you, leave ye remaining with me, and corn for the famine of your houses, take ye and go your way;

34 ary ento mankaty amiko ny zandrinareo faralahy, dia ho fantatro fa tsy mba mpisafo ianareo, fa olo-marina; dia homeko anareo ny rahalahinareo, ka dia hanao varotra eto amin’ ny tany ianareo.

And bring ye in your youngest brother unto me, So must I get to know that ye are, not spies, but are honest men: Your brother, will I give up to you, and with the land, shall ye traffic.

35 Ary raha nandraraka izay tao anatin’ ny lasakany izy ireo, dia, indro, ny volany am-ponosana samy teo anatin’ ny lasakany avy; ary rehefa nahita ny volany am-ponosana izy sy ny rainy, dia samy raiki-tahotra.

And it came to pass when, they, were emptying their, sacks then lo! each man’s bundle of silver, was in his sack, —and when they beheld their bundles of silver—they and their father, they were afraid,

36 Ary hoy Jakoba rainy taminy: Foananareo anaka aho: Josefa tsy eto intsony, Simeona koa tsy eto intsony, ary Benjamina indray halainareo; izaho ihany no ozoin’ izany rehetra izany,

And Jacob their father said unto them, Me, have ye bereaved, —Joseph, is not, and, Simeon, is not, and Benjamin, ye would take! Against me, have happened all these things.

37 Ary Robena niteny tamin’ ny rainy ka nanao hoe: Vonoy ny zanako roa lahy, raha tsy entiko miverina atỳ aminao izy; atolory eto an-tanako izy, dia izaho no hitondra azy mody ho atỳ aminao indray.

Then spake Reuben unto his father saying, My two sons, shalt thou put to death, if I bring him not unto thee, —Come give him up upon my hand, and I, will restore him unto thee.

38 Ary hoy Jakoba: Tsy hidina hiaraka aminareo ny zanako; fa maty ny rahalahiny, ary izy irery ihany no sisa, ary raha hisy loza hanjo azy any amin’ ny lalana izay halehanareo, dia hampidininareo any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita amin’ alahelo ny volo fotsiko. (Sheol h7585)

And he said, My son shall not go down with you, —For, his brother, is dead and, he alone, is left, and as surely as there befall him any mischief by the way wherein ye go, so surely shall ye bring down my grey hairs with sorrow unto hades. (Sheol h7585)
