< Genesisy 43 >
1 Mbe nizeke mafe amy taney ty san-kerè.
And the famine was severe in the land.
2 Aa naho fa nikamae’ iereo i mahakama nendese’ iereo boake Mitsraimey, le hoe ty rae’ iareo ama’e, Akia ihereño, mikaloa mahakama tsy ampeampe ho antika.
And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said to them, Go again, buy us a little food.
3 Aa hoe t’Iehodà ama’e, Nañatahata anay aman-titike indatiy, ami’ty hoe, Tsy ho oni’ areo ka ty tareheko naho tsy indreza’ i zai’ areoy.
And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man solemnly protested to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face unless your brother be with you.
4 Aa naho ampihitrife’o hindre ama’ay ty zai’ay, le hizotso mb’eo zahay hivily mahakama ho azo;
If thou will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy food for thee,
5 fa naho tsy haha’o handeha re, le tsy hizotso mb’eo zahay, amy nihatahata’ indatiy, ty hoe, Tsy ho isa’areo ty tareheko naho tsy ama’ areo ty zai’ areo.
but if thou will not send him, we will not go down. For the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face unless your brother be with you.
6 Hoe t’Israele, Ino ty nijoia’ areo ahiko ami’ty fivola’ areo am’indatiy t’ie mbe aman-drahalahy?
And Israel said, Why did ye deal so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
7 Hoe ty natoi’ iareo, Nandohy anay ty ama’ay naho o longo’aio indatiy, nanao ty hoe, Mbe velom-bao ty Rae’ areo? Manañe ana-dahy ila’e hao? Aa kanao nañontane re, vinale’ay. Ho nihai’ay aia te ho nisaontsie’e ty hoe, Ampizotsò mb’ atoy i rahalahi’oy?
And they said, The man asked diligently concerning ourselves, and concerning our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? Have ye another brother? And we told him according to the tenor of these words. Could we in any way know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
8 Le hoe t’Iehodà am’ Israele rae’e, Ampindrezo amako i ajalahiy, le hionjon-jahay, soa te ho veloñe tika fa tsy hivetrake—Ihe naho zahay vaho o keleian-tikañeo.
And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the young man with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.
9 Izaho avao ty ho tsoake ho aze; hamolilie’o an-tañako. Aa naho tsy habaliko ama’o atoy, havotrako añatrefa’o, le ee ty ho amako nainai’e i hakeo zay.
I will be surety for him, of my hand shall thou require him. If I do not bring him to thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame forever.
10 Aa naho tsy nihenekenek’ avao tika le fa ho n’indroe nimpoly.
For unless we had lingered, surely we would have now returned a second time.
11 Aa le hoe ty nanoa’ Israele rae’ iareo, Naho izay, le ano zao, Añendeso amo goni’ areoo o vokatse soa’ ty tane toio, vaho ahitrifo amy ‘ndatiy ho ravoravo ty aoly fihosotse tsy ampeampe naho tantele kede naho fisìke naho fampafirañe naho rame naho katra vaho sakoañe.
And their father Israel said to them, If it be so now, do this: Take of the choice fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry a present down to the man, a little balm, and a little honey, spicery and myrrh, nuts, and almonds.
12 Endeso an-taña’ areo in-droe’ o dralao. Tintino hibalike mb’eo an-taña’areo i drala nabalik’ amo goni’ areooy; kera nilosoreñe.
And take double money in your hand, and the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks carry again in your hand. Perhaps it was an oversight.
13 Endeso ka ty zai’areo le miongaha, mibaliha mb’am’ indatiy;
Also take your brother, and arise, go again to the man.
14 lonike te ho tretreze’ i El-Sadai abey nahareo añatrefa’ indatiy, hamotsora’e i rahalahi’areoy naho i Beniamine. Aa naho izaho, lehe ampihontohañe le hihontoke.
And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. And if I be bereaved of my sons, I am bereaved.
15 Aa le nendese’ o lahilahio i ravoravoy naho indroe’ ty drala’e am-pità’iareo vaho i Beniamine le niongake naho nizotso mb’e Mitsraime añe vaho nijohañe añatrefa’ Iosefe eo.
And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
16 Ie niisa’ Iosefe te am’iereo t’i Beniamine, le hoe re ami’ty mpitoro’ i anjomba’ey, andentao hare le halankaño sabadidake, fa hitrao-pikama amako ondati-reo te tsipindemena.
And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, Bring the men into the house, and kill, and make ready, for the men shall dine with me at noon.
17 Nanoe’ indatiy i nafanto’ Iosefe ama’ey, le nampihovae’e añ’anjomba’ Iosefe ao indaty rey.
And the man did as Joseph bade, and the man brought the men to Joseph's house.
18 Nihembañe amy zao i lahilahy rey kanao nendeseñe mb’añ’anjomba’ Iosefe ao, le nanao ty hoe, Hera i dralay, i nampoly an-goni’ay am-baloha’eiy ro nampizilihañe anay, hikaboha’e raha, hiambotraha’e, naho hondevoze’e rekets’ o borìken-tikañeo.
And the men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph's house, and they said, We are brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time, that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our donkeys.
19 Aa le niheo amy mpitoroñ’ anjomba’ Iosefey mb’eo iereo nisaontsy ama’e an-tsarira’ i anjombay eo,
And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,
20 ami’ty hoe, Ry Taleko, toe nizotso mb’atoa hikalo mahakama zahay tam-baloha’ey;
and said, Oh, my lord, we indeed came down at the first time to buy food.
21 f’ie nandoak’ amy nitofà’aiy añe, nanokake o goni’aio le songa nanjo ty drala’e ambava’ i goni’ey t’indaty, ty drala’ay ami’ty lanja’e. Aa le nendese’ay mb’atoy an-taña’ay,
And it came to pass, when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight. And we have brought it again in our hand.
22 mbore nandesa’ay drala fañampe’e an-tañañe hikaloa’ay mahakama. Nofi’ay ty nampizilike i dralay an-goni’ay ao.
And we have brought other money down in our hand to buy food. We know not who put our money in our sacks.
23 Hoe ty natoi’e, Manintsiña, ko hembañe; i Andrianañahare’ areo naho Andrianañaharen-drae’ areoy ty nampipoke ty vara’ areo amo goni’ areoo; fa nasese amako i drala’areoy. Le naaka’e mb’am’iereo t’i Simone.
And he said, Peace be to you, fear not. Your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks. I had your money. And he brought Simeon out to them.
24 Aa le nampihove’ i mpitoroñey añ’ anjomba’ Iosefe ao indaty rey le nanjotsoa’e rano, hanasa’e fandia, vaho nifahana’e o borìke’eo,
And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet. And he gave their donkeys provender.
25 le nampihentseñe’ iereo ho amy fiavi’ Iosefe amy tsipinde-menaiy i ravoravoy, fa jinanji’ iareo te hikama ao.
And they made ready the present against Joseph's coming at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there.
26 Ie nimpoly añ’anjomba’e ao t’Iosefe le nibanabanae’ iereo ama’e añ’anjomba ao o ravoravo am-pità’iareoo vaho nibokoboko an-tane añ’atrefa’e eo.
And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed down themselves to him to the earth.
27 Nañontanea’e ty hajangaña’ iareo, naho ty hoe, Jangam-bao ty rae’areo, i androanavy bey tinoño’ areoy? Mbe veloñe hao?
And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spoke? Is he yet alive?
28 Soa avao i mpitoro’oy, ty rae’ay, mbe velon-dre. Le niondreke iereo, niambane.
And they said, Thy servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And they bowed the head, and made obeisance.
29 Niandra amy zao re vaho nahaoniñe i Beniamine rahalahi’e, i anan-drene’ey, le hoe re, Rahalahy tsitso’ areo hao itia-hoekey? i natalili’areo amakoy? Ama’o abey anako, ty fatarihan’ Añahare!
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin his brother, his mother's son, and said, Is this your youngest brother, of whom ye spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to thee, my son.
30 Le nibioñe añe t’Iosefe ty amy hamaniña’e an-jai’e, nipay hirovetse. Nizilik’ an-traño’e ao re niharovetse.
And Joseph made haste, for his heart yearned over his brother, and he sought where to weep. And he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
31 Nanasa laharan-dre naho nilie-batañe vaho niakatse, le nanao ty hoe: Azotsò i mahakamay.
And he washed his face, and came out. And he restrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
32 Nanjotsoa’ iareo hey re, ie raike, naho natokañe am’ iereo ka, le nanjotsoañe manokañe o nte-Mitsraime mpitrao-pikama ama’eo, amy te tsy mete miharo-fikama amo nte-Evreo o nte-Mitsraimeo fa faly e Mitsraime ao.
And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, who ate with him, by themselves, because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
33 Le nampiambesareñe añatrefa’e, ty tañoloñoloña’e aolo ty amy zo’ey pak’an-jai’e ty amy hatsitso’ey, le nifampijilojilo an-kalatsañe o mpirahalahio.
And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth. And the men marveled one with another.
34 Nanjotsoañe boak’ am-pandambaña’ Iosefe iereo, fe indime’ ty mahakama niazo’ ty raike ty nazotso amy Beniamine. Aa le nitrao-pikama naho finoñe ama’e iereo.
And he took and sent portions to them from before him, but Benjamin's portion was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
