Genesisy 43
1 Mbe nizeke mafe amy taney ty san-kerè.
Now great famine was 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 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 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 Iudah answered him, saying, The man charged vs by an othe, saying, Neuer see my face, except 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 wilt sende our brother with vs, we will goe downe, and bye thee foode:
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 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 Hoe t’Israele, Ino ty nijoia’ areo ahiko ami’ty fivola’ areo am’indatiy t’ie mbe aman-drahalahy?
And Israel sayd, Wherefore delt ye so euill with me, as to tell the man, whether ye had yet a brother or no?
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 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 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 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 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 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 Aa naho tsy nihenekenek’ avao tika le fa ho n’indroe nimpoly.
For except we had made this tarying, doutlesse by this we had returned the 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.
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 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 hande, and the money, that was brought againe in your sackes mouthes: cary it againe in your hand, lest it were some ouersight.
13 Endeso ka ty zai’areo le miongaha, mibaliha mb’am’ indatiy;
Take also your brother and arise, and go againe 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 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 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.
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 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 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 Nanoe’ indatiy i nafanto’ Iosefe ama’ey, le nampihovae’e añ’anjomba’ Iosefe ao indaty rey.
And the man did as Ioseph bad, and brought the men vnto Iosephs 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.
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 Aa le niheo amy mpitoroñ’ anjomba’ Iosefey mb’eo iereo nisaontsy ama’e an-tsarira’ i anjombay eo,
Therefore came they to Iosephs stewarde, and communed with him at the doore of ye house.
20 ami’ty hoe, Ry Taleko, toe nizotso mb’atoa hikalo mahakama zahay tam-baloha’ey;
And said, Oh syr, we came in deede down hither at the first time to bye foode,
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 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 mbore nandesa’ay drala fañampe’e an-tañañe hikaloa’ay mahakama. Nofi’ay ty nampizilike i dralay an-goni’ay ao.
Also other money haue we brought in our handes to bye foode, but we cannot tell, who put our money in our sackes.
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 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 Aa le nampihove’ i mpitoroñey añ’ anjomba’ Iosefe ao indaty rey le nanjotsoa’e rano, hanasa’e fandia, vaho nifahana’e o borìke’eo,
So the man led them into Iosephs house, and gaue them water to wash their feete, and gaue their asses prouender.
25 le nampihentseñe’ iereo ho amy fiavi’ Iosefe amy tsipinde-menaiy i ravoravoy, fa jinanji’ iareo te hikama ao.
And they made ready their present against Ioseph came at noone, (for they heard say, that they should eate 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.
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 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 prosperitie, and sayd, Is your father the olde man, of whome ye tolde me, in good health? is he yet aliue?
28 Soa avao i mpitoro’oy, ty rae’ay, mbe velon-dre. Le niondreke iereo, niambane.
Who answered, Thy seruant our father is in good health, he is yet aliue: and they bowed downe, and made obeysance.
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 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 Le nibioñe añe t’Iosefe ty amy hamaniña’e an-jai’e, nipay hirovetse. Nizilik’ an-traño’e ao re niharovetse.
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 Nanasa laharan-dre naho nilie-batañe vaho niakatse, le nanao ty hoe: Azotsò i mahakamay.
Afterward he washed his face, and came out, and refrained himselfe, and sayd, Set on meate.
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 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 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.
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 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 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.
