Dud'uit Fefeu' a 42
1 Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf ama na Yakob rena atahori rafadꞌe oi hambu are sia Masir. De ana ola-olaꞌ no ana nara nae, “Ana nggare! Taꞌo bee de hei endoꞌ onaꞌ nggoa ra taꞌo naa!
And Jacob seeth that there is corn in Egypt, and Jacob saith to his sons, 'Why do you look at each other?'
2 Au rena oi hambu nanaat sia Masir. Malole lenaꞌ mi hasa sia naa dei, fo ata afiꞌ mate ndoes.”
he saith also, 'Lo, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt, go down thither, and buy for us from thence, and we live and do not die;'
3 De Yusuf aꞌa ka sanahulu nara, raote rae reu hasa nanaat sia Masir.
and the ten brethren of Joseph go down to buy corn in Egypt,
4 Te Yakob nda nau mboꞌi Yusuf odꞌi muri na Benyamin fo neu no se sa. Ana duꞌa, “Afiꞌ losa anaꞌ a hambu sususaꞌ fai!”
and Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob hath not sent with his brethren, for he said, 'Lest mischief meet him.'
5 Dadꞌi, huu atahori sia bee-bꞌee rena oi hambu nanaat sia Masir, naa de ara reu hasa sia naa. Fula-fai ndoes o losa rae Kanaꞌan. De Yakob ana nara o reu hasa sia naa boe.
And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine hath been in the land of Canaan,
6 Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf dadꞌi fetor sia Masir. Mete ma atahori rema mia bee-bꞌee hasa are, Yusuf mana seo neu se. Naeni de, leleꞌ aꞌa nara losa, ara reu sendeꞌ lululangga nara fee hadat neu e, losa langga nara dai rae a.
and Joseph is the ruler over the land, he who is selling to all the people of the land, and Joseph's brethren come and bow themselves to him — face to the earth.
7 Leleꞌ nita se, ana nahine memaꞌ. Te Yusuf tao ao na onaꞌ atahori Masir, de ara nda rahine e sa. Ana natane se no deres nae, “Hei ia, mia bee ima?” Rataa rae, “Hai mia Kanaꞌan. Hai ima mae hasa nanaat sia ama fetor.”
And Joseph seeth his brethren, and discerneth them, and maketh himself strange unto them, and speaketh with them sharp things, and saith unto them, 'From whence have ye come?' and they say, 'From the land of Canaan — to buy food.'
And Joseph discerneth his brethren, but they have not discerned him,
9 Boe ma Yusuf nasanedꞌa meit na. De ana naꞌatatauꞌ se nae, “Au nda umuhere sa! Neꞌo basa hei ia ra mana maku-maꞌu. Hei ima mae mihine nusa Masir rahasia na, fo mitati mo hai.”
and Joseph remembereth the dreams which he dreamed of them, and saith unto them, 'Ye [are] spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye have come.'
10 Te rataa rae, “Hokoꞌ, amaꞌ! Hai amaꞌ atahori dedenu na. Tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ hai ima mae hasa nanaat.
And they say unto him, 'No, my lord, but thy servants have come to buy food;
11 Basa hai amaꞌ esa. Hai nda maku-maꞌu sa, amaꞌ! Hai atahori maloleꞌ.”
we [are] all of us sons of one man, we [are] right men; thy servants have not been spies;'
12 Te Yusuf olaꞌ nahereꞌ nae, “He! Ombo koson! Afiꞌ peko-leleloꞌ au. Memaꞌ hei ia ra, mana maku-maꞌuꞌ. Hei ima mae mihine nusaꞌ ia rahasia nara!”
and he saith unto them, 'No, but the nakedness of the land ye have come to see;'
13 Ara rahara rae, “Hokoꞌ, amaꞌ! Hai amaꞌ dedenu na. Hai ima mia rae Kanaꞌan. Hai odꞌi-aꞌa atahori sanahulu rua. Basa hai ama esa. Hai odꞌi muri ma leo nahani no hai ama ma, ma esa nese ena.”
and they say, 'Thy servants [are] twelve brethren; we [are] sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and lo, the young one [is] with our father to-day, and the one is not.'
14 Yusuf nataa se nae, “Hokoꞌ! Saa fo au olaꞌ faꞌ ra, tebꞌe! Hei ia ra memaꞌ mana maku-maꞌuꞌ.
And Joseph saith unto them, 'This [is] that which I have spoken unto you, saying, Ye [are] spies,
15 De hei musi fee bukti dei, fo au uhine hei oꞌola ma naa, memaꞌ tebꞌe, do hokoꞌ. Au sumba! Mete ma hei odꞌi muri ma nda nema sia ia sa, hei nda lao hela nusaꞌ ia sa!
by this ye are proved: Pharaoh liveth! if ye go out from this — except by your young brother coming hither;
16 Dadꞌi hei tengga atahori sa fo neu nala hei odꞌi muri ma ia nema. Ma hela hei ruma. Au ae ita hei oꞌola ma naa, tebꞌe do hokoꞌ. Mete ma hokoꞌ, hei memaꞌ mana maku-maꞌu.”
send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and ye, remain ye bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be with you: and if not — Pharaoh liveth! surely ye [are] spies;'
17 Boe ma Yusuf denu tao se bui rala reu fai telu.
and he removeth them unto charge three days.
18 Fai ka telu na boe, Yusuf neu olaꞌ no se sia bui a nae, “Au ia, umutau neu Lamatualain ma tungga hiihii-nanau Na. Au nau mboꞌi hei, naa fo misodꞌa. Te hambu dalaꞌ esa.
And Joseph saith unto them on the third day, 'This do and live; God I fear!
19 Mete ma hei olaꞌ no matetuꞌ na, hei musi fee bukti neu au dei. Eni dala na taꞌo ia: au tao esa sia bui rala. Rumaꞌ baliꞌ fo mendi nanaat fee ume isi mara. Te ara rahani hei ena.
if ye [are] right men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your ward, and ye, go, carry in corn [for] the famine of your houses,
20 Basa naa, mendi odꞌi ma nema, fo dadꞌi bukti hei atahori maloleꞌ. Fo au afiꞌ hukun isa hei.” Rena taꞌo naa, ma raꞌaheiꞌ.
and your young brother ye bring unto me, and your words are established, and ye die not;' and they do so.
21 De ara esa olaꞌ no esa rae, “Ia naa hita hambu bala-bꞌaeꞌ mia hita tatao na, fo hita tao neu hita odꞌi na. Hita tita ana doidꞌoso nala seli. Ana noꞌe tulun te, hita nda tao-afiꞌ sa. Naa de, ia naa hita doidꞌoso onaꞌ ia ena.”
And they say one unto another, 'Verily we [are] guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul, in his making supplication unto us, and we did not hearken: therefore hath this distress come upon us.'
22 Boe ma Ruben fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu se nae, “We, odꞌiꞌ re! Maꞌahulu na, au ai hei ena, fo afiꞌ tao saa-saa neu anaꞌ naa boe, to? Te hei nda tao-afiꞌ neu au oꞌola ngga sa. Naa de, ia naa hita lemba Yusuf raa na ena.”
And Reuben answereth them, saying, 'Spake I not unto you, saying, Sin not against the lad? and ye hearkened not; and his blood also, lo, it is required.'
23 Ara ola-olaꞌ taꞌo naa, te nda rahine rae Yusuf nahine sira dedꞌea na sa. Huu, Yusuf ola-olaꞌ no se nendiꞌ dedꞌea Masir, dei fo mana ola-olaꞌ na olaꞌ nisiꞌ dedꞌea Ibrani.
And they have not known that Joseph understandeth, for the interpreter [is] between them;
24 Rena ara ola-olaꞌ taꞌo naa, Yusuf fela hela se, de neu nggae mia mamana feaꞌ. Ana nggae basa dei de, baliꞌ nisiꞌ se. De ana denu ara futu Simeon mia odꞌi-aꞌa nara mata na.
and he turneth round from them, and weepeth, and turneth back unto them, and speaketh unto them, and taketh from them Simeon, and bindeth him before their eyes.
25 Basa naa ma, Yusuf parenda pagau nara, fo ombo are nisiꞌ aꞌa nara karon nara. Ma tao baliꞌ doi nara risiꞌ karon nara rala. Ana o denu tao fee se lepa-ngges. De pagau nara tao tungga Yusuf parenda na.
And Joseph commandeth, and they fill their vessels [with] corn, also to put back the money of each unto his sack, and to give to them provision for the way; and one doth to them so.
26 Basa de, Yusuf aꞌa nara rafufuaꞌ karon are ra risiꞌ kaledei ata. De ara lao baliꞌ.
And they lift up their corn upon their asses, and go from thence,
27 Mia dalaꞌ taladꞌa na, ara hahae. Boe ma, esa sefi karon tali na, fo nae fee keledei na naa. Te nita doi na sia are ata.
and the one openeth his sack to give provender to his ass at a lodging-place, and he seeth his money, and lo, it [is] in the mouth of his bag,
28 Ana nggengger nala seli. Boe ma ana randu aꞌa nara nae, “Awiii! Mete dei! Hita soe ena. Ara tao baliꞌ au doi ngga sia karon rala.” Ara rita taꞌo naa ma, bingun ma ramatau. De ara ola-olaꞌ rae, “Lamatualain tao sa neu hita fai ia?”
and he saith unto his brethren, 'My money hath been put back, and also, lo, in my bag:' and their heart goeth out, and they tremble, one to another saying, 'What [is] this God hath done to us!'
29 Basa naa ma, ara lao rakandoo. Losa Kanaꞌan ma, ara dui ama na, basa saa mana dadꞌi neu se.
And they come in unto Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and they declare to him all the things meeting them, saying,
30 Rafadꞌe rae, “Amaꞌ e! Fetor Masir a, manaseliꞌ. Oꞌola na nda no hadat sa. Ana napepenggo hai oi, hai mana maku-maꞌu nusaꞌ naa.
'The man, the lord of the land, hath spoken with us sharp things, and maketh us as spies of the land;
31 Te hai mitaa mae, “Hokoꞌ! Hai olaꞌ no matetuꞌ. Hai ia ra nda mana maku-maꞌu sa.
and we say unto him, We [are] right men, we have not been spies,
32 Hai atahori maloleꞌ. Basa hai, odꞌi-aꞌa atahori sanahulu rua mia amaꞌ esa. Te esa mate ena, ma muriꞌ a leo no hai ama ma sia Kanaꞌan.’
we [are] twelve brethren, sons of our father, the one is not, and the young one [is] to-day with our father in the land of Canaan.
33 Boe ma, fetor a nae, ‘Au ae sobꞌa, hei ia ra ndos do hokoꞌ! Hei esa musi leo sia ia. Ruma baliꞌ mendi are fee ume isi mara, fo ara afiꞌ mate ndoes.
'And the man, the lord of the land, saith unto us, By this I know that ye [are] right men — one of your brethren leave with me, and [for] the famine of your houses take ye and go,
34 Basa naa, hei musi mendi odꞌi ma dei. No taꞌo naa, dei fo au bubꞌuluꞌ hei ia ra nda mana maku-maꞌu sa, te memaꞌ hei atahori ndos. Boe ma, au mboꞌi hei torono ma mia bui a. Ma mboꞌi hei, fo sudꞌiꞌ a bee mii, sia nusaꞌ ia.’”
and bring your young brother unto me, and I know that ye [are] not spies, but ye [are] right men; your brother I give to you, and ye trade with the land.'
35 Dꞌui basa ma, ara bonggar karon nara isi na. Aiboiꞌ ma rita doi nara, feꞌe sia karon rala. De Yakob no ana nara ramatau rae mate.
And it cometh to pass, they are emptying their sacks, and lo, the bundle of each man's silver [is] in his sack, and they see their bundles of silver, they and their father, and are afraid;
36 Basa naa ma, Yakob olaꞌ no se nae, “Hei ia ra tao mimopoꞌ ana nggara. Yusuf nese ena. Simeon o nese boe. Ia naa hei mae mendi Benyamin fai, do? Hei ia ra tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ mae tao doidꞌoso au, ma!”
and Jacob their father saith unto them, 'Me ye have bereaved; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and Benjamin ye take — against me have been all these.'
37 Boe ma Ruben olaꞌ no ama na nae, “Amaꞌ e! Fee Benyamin neu au. Au unea e. Au helu, dei fo au endi baliꞌ e nisiꞌ amaꞌ. Te mete ma hokoꞌ, tao misa ana mone karua nggara.”
And Reuben speaketh unto his father, saying, 'My two sons thou dost put to death, if I bring him not in unto thee; give him into my hand, and I — I bring him back unto thee;'
38 Te Yakob olaꞌ nae, “Hokoꞌ! Hei nda bole mo Benyamin sa. Aꞌa na Yusuf mate ena. Helaꞌ a mesaꞌ ne. Mete ma ana taꞌo esa sia dalaꞌ, naa, hei tao au susa sambe mate.” (Sheol h7585)
and he saith, 'My son doth not go down with you, for his brother [is] dead, and he by himself is left; when mischief hath met him in the way in which ye go, then ye have brought down my grey hairs in sorrow to sheol.' (Sheol h7585)
