Genesisy 43
1 Mbe nizeke mafe amy taney ty san-kerè.
And the famine [is] 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 comes to pass, when they have finished eating the grain which they brought from Egypt, that their father says to them, “Return, buy for 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 speaks to him, saying, “The man protesting protested to us, saying, You do not see my face without your brother [being] with you;
4 Aa naho ampihitrife’o hindre ama’ay ty zai’ay, le hizotso mb’eo zahay hivily mahakama ho azo;
if you are sending our brother with us, we go down, and buy for you 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.
and if you are not sending—we do not go down, for the man said to us, You do not see my face without your brother [being] with you.”
6 Hoe t’Israele, Ino ty nijoia’ areo ahiko ami’ty fivola’ areo am’indatiy t’ie mbe aman-drahalahy?
And Israel says, “Why did you do evil to me, by declaring to the man that you 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 say, “The man asked diligently concerning us, and concerning our family, saying, Is your father yet alive? Have you a brother? And we declare to him according to the tenor of these things; do we certainly know that he will say, Bring down 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.
And Judah says to his father Israel, “Send the youth with me, and we arise, and go, and live, and do not die, both we, and you, and our infants.
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 am guarantor [for] him, from my hand you require him; if I have not brought him to you, and set him before you—then I have sinned against you all the days;
10 Aa naho tsy nihenekenek’ avao tika le fa ho n’indroe nimpoly.
for if we had not lingered, surely now we had returned these two times.”
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 says to them, “If so, now, do this: take of the praised thing of the land in your vessels, and take down to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices 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 double money take in your hand, even the money which is brought back in the mouth of your bags, you take back in your hand, it may be it [is] an oversight.
13 Endeso ka ty zai’areo le miongaha, mibaliha mb’am’ indatiy;
And take your brother, and rise, return 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 to you mercies before the man, so that he has sent to you your other brother and Benjamin; and I, when I am bereaved—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 take this present, double money also they have taken in their hand, and Benjamin; and they rise, and go down to Egypt, and stand 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 Joseph sees Benjamin with them and says to him who [is] over his house, “Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal, and make ready, for the men eat with me at noon.”
17 Nanoe’ indatiy i nafanto’ Iosefe ama’ey, le nampihovae’e añ’anjomba’ Iosefe ao indaty rey.
And the man does as Joseph has said, and the man brings in the men into the house of Joseph,
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 are afraid because they have been brought into the house of Joseph, and they say, “For the matter of the money which was put back in our bags at the commencement are we brought in—to roll himself on us, and to throw himself on us, and to take us for servants—our donkeys also.”
19 Aa le niheo amy mpitoroñ’ anjomba’ Iosefey mb’eo iereo nisaontsy ama’e an-tsarira’ i anjombay eo,
And they come near to the man who [is] over the house of Joseph, and speak to him at the opening of the house,
20 ami’ty hoe, Ry Taleko, toe nizotso mb’atoa hikalo mahakama zahay tam-baloha’ey;
and say, “O my lord, we really come down at the commencement 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 comes to pass, when we have come to the lodging-place, and open our bags, that behold, each one’s money [is] in the mouth of his bag, our money in its weight, and we bring it back 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 other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food; we have not known 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.
And he says, “Peace to you, do not fear: your God and the God of your father has given to you hidden treasure in your bags, your money came to me”; and he brings out 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,
And the man brings in the men into Joseph’s house, and gives water, and they wash their feet; and he gives provender for their donkeys,
25 le nampihentseñe’ iereo ho amy fiavi’ Iosefe amy tsipinde-menaiy i ravoravoy, fa jinanji’ iareo te hikama ao.
and they prepare the present until the coming of Joseph at noon, for they have heard that there they eat bread.
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 Joseph comes into the house, and they bring to him the present which [is] in their hand, into the house, and bow 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 asks of them of peace and says, “Is your father well? The aged man of whom you have spoken, is he yet alive?”
28 Soa avao i mpitoro’oy, ty rae’ay, mbe velon-dre. Le niondreke iereo, niambane.
And they say, “Your servant our father [is] well, he is yet alive”; and they bow, and pay respect.
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 lifts up his eyes and sees his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and says, “Is this your young brother, of whom you have spoken to me?” And he says, “God favor 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.
And Joseph hurries, for his bowels have been moved for his brother, and he seeks to weep, and enters the inner chamber, and weeps there;
31 Nanasa laharan-dre naho nilie-batañe vaho niakatse, le nanao ty hoe: Azotsò i mahakamay.
and he washes his face, and goes out, and refrains himself, and says, “Place 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 place for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who are eating with him by themselves: for the Egyptians are unable to eat bread with the Hebrews, for it [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 sit before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the young one according to his youth, and the men wonder one at 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 lifts up gifts from before him to them, and the gift of Benjamin is five hands more than the gifts of all of them; and they drink, indeed, they drink abundantly with him.
