Genesisy 43

1 Ary mafy ny mosary teo amin’ ny tany.

Now great famine was in the land.

2 Ary rehefa laniny ny vary izay efa nalainy tany Egypta, dia hoy ny rainy taminy: Mandehana indray, mividia hanina kely ho antsika.

And when they had eaten vp the vitaile, which they had brought from Egypt, their father sayd vnto them, Turne againe, and bye vs a little foode.

3 Ary Joda niteny taminy ka nanao hoe: Efa nilaza mafy taminay ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Tsy hahita ny tavako ianareo, raha tsy hiaraka aminareo ilay rahalahinareo.

And Iudah answered him, saying, The man charged vs by an othe, saying, Neuer see my face, except your brother be with you.

4 Raha hampandehaninao hiaraka aminay ny rahalahinay, dia hidina izahay ka hividy hanina ho anao;

If thou wilt sende our brother with vs, we will goe downe, and bye thee foode:

5 fa raha tsy hampandehaninao izy, dia tsy hidina izahay; fa hoy ralehilahy taminay: Tsy hahita ny tavako ianareo, raha tsy hiaraka aminareo ilay rahalahinareo.

But if thou wilt not send him, we wil not go downe: for the man said vnto vs, Looke me not in the face, except your brother be with you.

6 Ary hoy Isiraely: Nahoana no dia nampidi-doza tamiko ianareo ka nanambara tamin-dralehilahy fa mbola nanan-drahalahy koa ianareo?

And Israel sayd, Wherefore delt ye so euill with me, as to tell the man, whether ye had yet a brother or no?

7 Ary hoy izy ireo: Nanadina dia nanadina ny amin’ ny tenanay sy ny mpianakavinay ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Mbola velona ihany va izay rainareo? ary manan-drahalahy hafa koa va ianareo? Dia nambaranay taminy araka izany teny izany; moa nampoizinay akory va izay hanaovany hoe: Ento midìna ny rahalahinareo?

And they answered, The man asked straitly of our selues and of our kinred, saying, Is your father yet aliue? haue ye any brother? And wee tolde him according to these wordes: could we knowe certainely that he would say, Bring your brother downe?

8 Ary hoy Joda tamin’ Isiraely rainy: Ampandehano hiaraka amiko ny zaza, dia hiainga izahay ka handeha, mba ho velona isika ka tsy ho faty, dia izahay sy ianao ary ny zanatsika madinika koa.

Then sayde Iudah to Israel his father, Send the boy with mee, that we may rise and goe, and that we may liue and not dye, both we, and thou, and our children.

9 Izaho no hiantoka azy; amin’ ny tanako no handraisanao azy; raha tsy ho entiko atỳ aminao ka hatolotro eto anatrehanao izy, dia ho meloka aminao amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainako aho;

I wil be suertie for him: of mine hand shalt thou require him. If I bring him not to thee, and set him before thee, then let me beare the blame for euer.

10 fa raha tsy nijanonjanona izahay, dia efa tafaverina fanindroany toy izay.

For except we had made this tarying, doutlesse by this we had returned the second time.

11 Ary hoy Isiraely rainy taminy: Raha izany ary no izy, dia izao no ataovy: analao ny vokatra malaza amin’ ny tany ka ataovy ao anatin’ ny fitondran-entanareo, dia ento midìna haterina ho an-dralehilahy, dia balsama kely sy tantely kely, ditin-kazo nekota sy lota sy pistakia ary amygdala;

Then their father Israel sayd vnto them, If it must needes be so now, do thus: take of the best fruites of the lande in your vessels, and bring the man a present, a little rosen, and a little hony, spices and myrrhe, nuttes, and almondes:

12 ary mitondra vola toraka ny teo eny an-tananareo; ary ilay vola izay naverina teo am-bavan’ ny lasakanareo dia ento miverina indray; angamba fahadisoana izany.

And take double money in your hande, and the money, that was brought againe in your sackes mouthes: cary it againe in your hand, lest it were some ouersight.

13 Ary ny rahalahinareo ento ihany; dia miainga ka miverena indray ho any amin-dralehilahy;

Take also your brother and arise, and go againe to the man.

14 ary Andriamanitra Tsitoha anie hampahita famindram-po anareo eo anatrehan-dralehilahy, mba hampodiny ny rahalahinareo anankiray sy Benjamina. Ary izaho, raha foanana anaka aho, dia foana anaka ihany.

And God almightie giue you mercie in the sight of the man, that hee may deliuer you your other brother, and Beniamin: but I shall be robbed of my childe, as I haue bene.

15 Dia nentin’ ireo lehilahy ireo ny zavatra hateriny, ary vola indroa toraka ny teo koa no nentiny teny an-tànany mbamin’ i Benjamina; ary niainga izy, dia nidina tany Egypta ka tonga teo anatrehan’ i Josefa.

Thus the men tooke this present, and tooke twise so much money in their hande with Beniamin, and rose vp, and went downe to Egypt and stoode before Ioseph.

16 Ary Josefa, raha nahita an’ i Benjamina niaraka taminy, dia nanao tamin’ ny mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony hoe: Ampidiro atsy an-trano ireo lehilahy ireo, dia amonoy zavatra izy ka anaovy nahandro; fa hiara-mihinana amiko izy raha mitataovovonana ny andro.

And whe Ioseph saw Beniamin with them, he sayde to his stewarde, Bring these men home and kill meate, and make ready: for the men shall eate with me at noone.

17 Dia nataon-dralehilahy araka izay nandidian’ i Josefa; ka nampidirin-dralehilahy tao an-tranon’ i Josefa ireo.

And the man did as Ioseph bad, and brought the men vnto Iosephs house.

18 Dia raiki-tahotra ireo lehilahy ireo, satria nampidirina tao an-tranon’ i Josefa, ka hoy izy: Maintsy ilay vola naverina tao anatin’ ny lasakantsika fahiny va no nampidirana antsika, hivarinany amintsika sy hianjerany amintsika! dia halainy ho andevo isika, ary halainy koa ny borikintsika.

Nowe when the men were brought into Iosephs house, they were afrayd, and sayd, Because of the money, that came in our sackes mouthes at the first time, are we brought, that hee may picke a quarrell against vs, and lay some thing to our charge, and bring vs in bondage and our asses.

19 Dia nanatona an-dralehilahy, mpikarakara ny tao an-tranon’ i Josefa, izy ka niteny taminy teo am-baravaran’ ny trano nanao hoe:

Therefore came they to Iosephs stewarde, and communed with him at the doore of ye house.

20 Mba henoy kely izahay, tompokolahy: nidina hividy hanina tokoa izahay fahiny:

And said, Oh syr, we came in deede down hither at the first time to bye foode,

21 ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ izay nandrianay izahay, dia nosokafanay ny lasakanay, ka indreo ny volanay isan-dahy teo am-bavan’ ny lasakanay avy, tonga lanja avokoa ny volanay; ary efa nentinay niverina eto an-tananay izany.

And as wee came to an ynne and opened our sackes, behold, euery mans money was in his sackes mouth, euen our money in full weight, but we haue brought it againe in our handes.

22 Ary nitondra vola hafa koa eto an-tananay izahay hamidy hanina: tsy fantatray izay nanao ny volanay tao anatin’ ny lasakanay.

Also other money haue we brought in our handes to bye foode, but we cannot tell, who put our money in our sackes.

23 Ary hoy izy: Matokia ianareo, fa aza matahotra; Andriamanitrareo, dia Andriamanitry ny rainareo, no nanome anareo harena tao anatin’ ny lasakanareo; ny volanareo dia efa tonga tatỳ amiko ihany. Dia namoaka an’ i Simeona ho eo aminy izy.

And he said, Peace be vnto you, feare not: your God and the God of your father hath giuen you that treasure in your sackes, I had your money: and he brought forth Simeon to them.

24 Ary nampidirin-dralehilahy tao an-tranon’ i Josefa ireo olona ireo ka nomeny rano, dia nanasa tongotra izy, ary ny borikiny nomeny hanina koa.

So the man led them into Iosephs house, and gaue them water to wash their feete, and gaue their asses prouender.

25 Dia nandamina ny zavatra hateriny izy mandra-pihavin’ i Josefa rehefa mitataovovonana ny andro; fa efa reny fa eo no hihinanany hanina.

And they made ready their present against Ioseph came at noone, (for they heard say, that they should eate bread there)

26 Ary rehefa tonga tao an-trano Josefa, dia nampidirin’ izy mirahalahy avy ho ao an-trano mba hatolotra azy ireo zavatra efa nentiny, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehany izy.

When Ioseph came home, they brought the present into the house to him, which was in their handes, and bowed downe to the grounde before him.

27 Ary Josefa nanontany ny toeny ka nanao hoe: Tsara ihany va ny rainareo, ilay lahy antitra nolazainareo? mbola velona ihany va izy?

And he asked them of their prosperitie, and sayd, Is your father the olde man, of whome ye tolde me, in good health? is he yet aliue?

28 Dia hoy izy: Tsara ihany ny mpanomponao rainay; mbola velona ihany izy. Dia niondrika izy ireo ka niankohoka.

Who answered, Thy seruant our father is in good health, he is yet aliue: and they bowed downe, and made obeysance.

29 Ary Josefa nanopy ny masony ka nahita an’ i Benjamina rahalahiny, zanakalahin’ ny reniny, dia hoy izy: Io va no zandrinareo faralahy, izay nolazainareo tamiko? Sady hoy koa izy: Andriamanitra anie hanisy soa anao, anaka

And he lifting vp his eyes, beheld his brother Beniamin his mothers sonne, and sayde, Is this your yonger brother, of whome ye tolde me? And he said, God be merciful vnto thee, my sone.

30 Dia niala faingana Josefa, fa nangorakoraka ny fony noho ny rahalahiny, ka nitady izay hitomaniany izy; dia niditra tao an-efi-trano izy ka nitomany tao.

And Ioseph made haste (for his affection was inflamed towarde his brother, and sought where to weepe) and entred into his chamber, and wept there.

31 Ary rehefa nanasa ny tavany izy, dia nivoaka; ary nanindry ny fangorakoraky ny fony izy ka nanao hoe: Ento ny nahandro.

Afterward he washed his face, and came out, and refrained himselfe, and sayd, Set on meate.

32 Dia narosony mitokana ny ho an’ i Josefa, ary mitokana ny ho an’ ny rahalahiny, ary mitokana koa ny ho an’ ny Egyptiana izay nihinana teo aminy, satria ny Egyptiana tsy mahazo miara-komana amin’ ny Hebreo, fa fahavetavetana amin’ ny Egyptiana izany.

And they prepared for him by himselfe, and for them by themselues, and for the Egyptians, which did eate with him, by themselues, because the Egyptians might not eate bread with the Ebrewes: for that was an abomination vnto the Egyptians.

33 Dia nipetraka teo anatrehany izy, ny lahimatoa araka ny fizokiany, ary ny faralahy araka ny fizandriany; dia samy talanjona ka nifampijerijery izy.

So they sate before him: the eldest according vnto his age, and the yongest according vnto his youth. and the men marueiled among themselues.

34 Ary samy nitondrana anjara-hanina avy teo anoloan’ i Josefa izy mirahalahy avy; kanefa ny anjara-hanin’ i Benjamina dia indimy toraka ny anjaran-drery tamin’ izy rehetra. Dia niara-nisotro sy nivoky divay teo aminy izy.

And they tooke meases from before him, and sent to them: but Beniamins mease was fiue times so much as any of theirs: and they drunke, and had of the best drinke with him.
