Genesisy 43
1 Mbe nizeke mafe amy taney ty san-kerè.
Now the land was in bitter need of food.
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 when the grain which they had got in Egypt was all used up, their father said to them, Go again and get 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 said to him, The man said to us with an oath, You are not to come before me again without your brother.
4 Aa naho ampihitrife’o hindre ama’ay ty zai’ay, le hizotso mb’eo zahay hivily mahakama ho azo;
If you will let our brother go with us, we will go down and get food:
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 you will not send him, we will not go down: for the man said to us, You are not to come before me if your brother is not 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 were you so cruel to me as to say to him that you had 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 put a number of questions to us about ourselves and our family, saying, Is your father still living? have you another brother? And we had to give him answers; how were we to have any idea that he would say, Come back with your brother?
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.
Then Judah said to Israel, his father, Send the boy with me, and let us be up and going, so that we and you and our little ones may not come to destruction.
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.
Put him into my care and make me responsible for him: if I do not give him safely back to you, let mine be the sin for ever.
10 Aa naho tsy nihenekenek’ avao tika le fa ho n’indroe nimpoly.
Truly, if we had not let the time go by, we might have come back again by now.
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.
Then their father Israel said to them, If it has to be so, then do this: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels to give the man, perfumes and honey and spices and nuts:
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 twice as much money with you; that is to say, take back the money which was put in your bags, for it may have been an error;
13 Endeso ka ty zai’areo le miongaha, mibaliha mb’am’ indatiy;
And take your brother and go back 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 may God, the Ruler of all, give you mercy before the man, so that he may give you back your other brother and Benjamin. If my children are to be taken from me; there is no help for it.
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.
So they took what their father said for the man, and twice as much money in their hands, and Benjamin, and went on their journey to Egypt, and came 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, he said to his chief servant, Take these men into my house, and make ready a meal, for they will take food with me in the middle of the day.
17 Nanoe’ indatiy i nafanto’ Iosefe ama’ey, le nampihovae’e añ’anjomba’ Iosefe ao indaty rey.
And the servant did as Joseph said, and took the men into 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.
Now the men were full of fear because they had been taken into Joseph's house and they said, It is because of the money which was put back in our bags the first time; he is looking for something against us, so that he may come down on us and take us and our asses for his use.
19 Aa le niheo amy mpitoroñ’ anjomba’ Iosefey mb’eo iereo nisaontsy ama’e an-tsarira’ i anjombay eo,
So they went up to Joseph's chief servant at the door of the house,
20 ami’ty hoe, Ry Taleko, toe nizotso mb’atoa hikalo mahakama zahay tam-baloha’ey;
And said, O my lord, we only came down the first time to get 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 when we came to our night's resting-place, on opening our bags we saw that every man's money was in the mouth of his bag, all our money in full weight: and we have it with us to give it back;
22 mbore nandesa’ay drala fañampe’e an-tañañe hikaloa’ay mahakama. Nofi’ay ty nampizilike i dralay an-goni’ay ao.
As well as more money, with which to get food: we have no idea who put our money in our bags.
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.
Then the servant said, Peace be with you: have no fear: your God, even the God of your father, has put wealth in your bags for you: I had your money. Then he let Simeon come 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 servant took them into Joseph's house, and gave them water for washing their feet; and he gave their asses food.
25 le nampihentseñe’ iereo ho amy fiavi’ Iosefe amy tsipinde-menaiy i ravoravoy, fa jinanji’ iareo te hikama ao.
And they got ready the things for Joseph before he came in the middle of the day: for word was given to them that they were to have a meal 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 in, they gave him the things which they had for him, and went down to the earth before him.
27 Nañontanea’e ty hajangaña’ iareo, naho ty hoe, Jangam-bao ty rae’areo, i androanavy bey tinoño’ areoy? Mbe veloñe hao?
And he said, How are you? is your father well, the old man of whom you were talking to me? is he still living?
28 Soa avao i mpitoro’oy, ty rae’ay, mbe velon-dre. Le niondreke iereo, niambane.
And they said, Your servant, our father, is well, he is still living. And they went down on their faces before him.
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!
Then, lifting up his eyes, he saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother's son, and he said, Is this your youngest brother of whom you gave me word? And he said, God be good to you, my son.
30 Le nibioñe añe t’Iosefe ty amy hamaniña’e an-jai’e, nipay hirovetse. Nizilik’ an-traño’e ao re niharovetse.
Then Joseph's heart went out to his brother, and he went quickly into his room, for he was overcome with weeping.
31 Nanasa laharan-dre naho nilie-batañe vaho niakatse, le nanao ty hoe: Azotsò i mahakamay.
Then, after washing his face, he came out, and controlling his feelings said, Put food before us.
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 put a meal ready for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who were with him by themselves; because the Egyptians may not take food with the Hebrews, for that would make them unclean.
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 were all given their seats before him in order of birth, from the oldest to the youngest: so that they were looking at one another in wonder.
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 Joseph sent food to them from his table, but he sent five times as much to Benjamin as to any of the others. And they took wine freely with him.
