Genesisy 42
1 Naho nioni’ Iakòbe te e Mitsraime añe ty mahakama, le hoe t’Iakòbe amo ana’eo, Ino ty ifangarefa’ areo?
And when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look at one another?
2 Inao, hoe re, tsinanoko te aman-tsako ty Mitsraime; akia mizotsoa mb’eo vaho iviliaño ho an-tika, hiveloman-tika fa tsy hivetrake.
And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt; get you down thither, and buy for us provision from there, that we may live, and not die.
3 Aa le nizotso mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo ty rahalahi’ Iosefe folo hikalo mahakama añe.
And ten brothers of Joseph went down to buy corn in Egypt,
4 Fe tsy nampindreze’ Iakòbe amo zoke’eo t’i Beniamine zai’ Iosefe fa hoe re, ke ho zoem-boiñe.
But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brothers; for he said, Lest mischief befall him.
5 Aa le nindre amo nañavelo mb’eo hikaloo, o ana’Israeleo, amy te an-tane’ Kanàne ao ka i san-kèrey.
And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6 Toe nimpifehe i taney t’Iosefe, mpandetak’ amy ze fonga ondati’ i taney. Le nimb’eo o rahalahi’ Iosefeo nibaboke an-tane aolo’e eo.
And Joseph—he was the governor over the land, it was he that sold corn to all the people of the land; and Joseph's brothers came, and bowed themselves down before him with the face to the earth.
7 Aa naho nahaisake o rahalahi’eo t’Iosefe, le nifohi’e, fe nimintse ho ambahiny am’iereo, vaho nendakendaha’e, Boak’aia v’inahareoo? hoe re. Hoe iereo, Hirik’an-tane Kanàne añe hikalo mahakama.
And Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them; but made himself strange unto them and spoke roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
8 Toe nirendre’ Iosefe o rahalahi’eo, f’ie tsy naharendreke aze.
And Joseph recognized his brothers, but they recognized not him.
9 Nitiahi’ Iosefe o ninofise’e iareoo, le hoe re am’ iereo, Mpifilo nahareo, nivotrak’ atoy hahaisake ty fihaloa’ o taneo!
And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed concerning them, and he said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land are ye come.
10 Le hoe iereo tama’e, Aiy, ry talèko, ty hikalo mahakama ty nitsatoha’ o mpitoro’oo atoy.
And they said unto him, No, my lord, thy servants are only come to buy food.
11 Songa ana’ t’indaty raike zahay; ondaty vantañe, fa tsy mpisary tane o mpitoro’oo.
We are all sons of one man; we are true men; thy servants have never been spies.
12 Hoe re am’ iereo: Aiy, toe nimb’atoy nahareo handrendreke ty fiboridaña’ o taneo!
And he said unto them, No! but to see the nakedness of the land are ye come.
13 Hoe iereo, Mpitoro’o zahay, roahalahy folo-ro’ amby, ana’ t’indaty e Kanàne ao, fe an-drae’ay añe ty tsitso’e vaho tsy eo ty raike.
And they said, We, thy servants, are twelve brothers, sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more.
14 Aa hoe t’Iosefe am’ iereo: Ie i vinolako ama’areoy, toe mpisary nahareo.
And Joseph said unto them, It is as I have spoken unto you, saying, Ye are spies;
15 Inao t’ie tsoheko: kanao veloñe t’i Parò, tsy hiavotse atoy nahareo naho tsy pok’ atoy heik’ i tsitso’areoy!
Hereby shall ye be proved: By the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
16 Ampihitrifo ami’ty raik’ ama’ areo i zai’ areoy le hambenañe an-drohy ao nahareo, hitsohañe ty enta’ areo ke ama’areo ty hato, fa naho tsie, kanao veloñe t’i Parò, le mpipiapia.
Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether the truth be with you; and if not, by the life of Pharaoh, ye are surely spies.
17 Aa le fonga natonto’e am-balabey ao telo andro.
And he put them together into ward three days.
18 Ie amy andro fahateloy, le ty hoe ty nanoa’ Iosefe, Ano zao soa te ho veloñe, amy te mpañeveñ’ aman’ Añahare iraho:
And Joseph said unto them on the third day, This do, and live; I fear God.
19 aa naho ondaty vañoñe nahareo, angao an-traño nandrohizañe anahareo atoy ty rahalahi’ areo raike. Le akia, añendeso mahakama ty amy hasalikoañey o keleia’ areoo,
If ye be true men, let one of your brothers remain imprisoned in the house of your confinement; but ye, go, carry home what you have bought for the want of your household.
20 vaho endeso mb’etoa i tsitso’ areoy, hañato o enta’ areoo, le tsy hikoromake. Aa le nanoe’ iereo.
But your youngest brother bring unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
21 Hoe ty vesoveso’ iareo, Inao, toly aman-tika ty nanoen-tika amy rahalahin-tikañey, nionin-tika i halovilovim-piai’ey, ie nitoreo aman-tikañe, ie tsy nete nitsanoñe. Toly ndra hehe ty fangovitañe mifetsak’ aman-tikañe.
And they said to one another, Truly we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
22 Natoi’ i Reòbene ty hoe, Tsy vinolako hao te tsy hanoan-draty i ajalahiy? F’ie tsy nañaoñe vaho hehe te paiaeñe i lio’ey.
And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not say unto you, thus, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? and behold, his blood also is now required.
23 Namoea’ iareo te nirendre’ Iosefe iaby i hoe zay fa ampañivoa’ iareo ty mpandika.
And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spoke unto them by an interpreter.
24 Nivìk’ am’iareo hey re nirovetse, naho nibalike le nisaontsy, naho jinobo’e am’ iereo t’i Simone vaho rinohi’e aolom-pihaino’ iareo.
And he turned himself away from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and spoke with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
25 Nandily t’Iosefe le natsafeñe tsako o goni’ iareoo naho songa nahereñe am’ondatio an-goni’e ao ty drala’e vaho nivatieñe amy liay. Nanoeñe ho a’ iareo izay.
And Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and he did unto them thus.
26 Nalogologo’ iereo ambone’ o borìke’eo o mahakamao vaho nienga.
And they loaded their asses with their corn, and departed thence.
27 Aa teo ty nanokak’ i goni’ey hivaty i borìke’ey t’ie nitobe, nizoe’e i drala’ey, inge t’ie am-bava’ i goniy eo.
And one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn: when he espied his money, for, behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
28 Hoe re amo rahalahi’eo, Nabalik’ amako i dralakoy, ie o an-gonikoo. Ho namoe’ay iereo fa nirevendreveñe, le nifanao ty hoe, Ino ty nanoan’ Añahare aman-tikañe?
And he said unto his brothers, My money hath been restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
29 Ie pok’ aman-drae’e an-tane’ Kanàne añe, le natalily ama’e ze hene nifetsak’ am’iereo, ami’ty hoe,
And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and they told him all that had befallen them; saying,
30 Nañomey tsipeha anay indatiy, ty talè’ i taney nanisy anay te inao mpijekejeke amy taney.
The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and took us as though we were espying the country.
31 Fe hoe ty natoi’ay ama’e, Ondaty mahity zahay fa tsy mpitingañe.
And we said unto him, We are true men; we have never been spies:
32 Mpirahalahy folo ro’ amby zahay, foetse raik’ aman-drae’ay; tsy eo ty raike, vaho aman-drae’e an-tane’ Kanàne añe ty tsitso’e henaneo.
We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; the one is no more, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
33 Le hoe indatiy, i mpifehe’ i taney ama’aiy, amy hoe zao ty haharendrehako te ondaty vantañe nahareo: angao amako atoy ty raik’ amo rahalahi’ areoo, indeso mahakama ty amo hasalikoañeo o añ’anjomba’ areoo, vaho mañaveloa;
And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men: leave one of your brothers here with me, and [the food for] the want of your households take ye and be gone;
34 fe hitrifo mb’atoy i tsitso’ areoy haharendrehako te tsy mpifilo nahareo fa ondaty vañoñe. Ie amy zay, havotsoko ama’areo i rahalahi’oy vaho hikalo an-tane atoy nahareo.
And bring your youngest brother unto me; then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men; your brother I will give up to you, and in the land ye shall be allowed to traffic.
35 Ie sambe nampidoañe ty goni’e, le hehe te amy goni’ey ty kotran-drala’e. Aa naho niisa’ iereo naho i rae’ iareo o kotran-drala’ iareoo, le nangebahebake.
And it came to pass as they were emptying their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when they saw the bundles of their money, they and their father, they were afraid.
36 Le hoe ty nanoa’ Iakòbe rae’ iareo, Toe nampihontoha’ areo ahy o anakoo, tsy eo t’Iosefe, tsy eo t’i Simone vaho te hampisintone’ areo ka t’i Beniamine. Fonga nidoñ’ amako!
And Jacob their father said unto them, Me ye have bereaved of my children: Joseph is gone, and Simeon is gone, and Benjamin ye will take away; all these things are against me.
37 Aa hoe ty asa’ i Reòbene aman-drae’e, Vonò i ana-dahiko roe rey naho tsy hendeseko mimpoly ama’o atoy. Apoho an-tañako ato le izaho ty hampipoly aze ama’o.
And Reuben said unto his father, thus, Two of my sons shalt thou slay, if I bring him not to thee; deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him back to thee.
38 Fe hoe re, Tsy hizotso mb’eo i anakoy, mate i rahalahi’ey le ie ty honka’e. Aa ie mizo voiñe amy lia handena’ areoy le hazotso’areo an-kontoke mb’ antsikeokeok’ao o volo-fotikoo. (Sheol h7585)
And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left: and if mischief befall him by the way in which ye go, then will ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
