Genesis 43

1 At ang kagutom ay mahigpit sa lupain.

Now great famine was in the land.

2 At nangyari, nang makain na nila ang trigong kanilang dinala mula sa Egipto, na sinabi sa kanila ng kanilang ama, Kayo'y pumaroong muli, ibili ninyo tayo ng kaunting pagkain.

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 At si Juda ay nagsalita sa kaniya, na sinasabi, Ipinahayag sa aming mahigpit ng lalaking yaon, na sinasabi, Hindi ninyo makikita ang aking mukha, maliban na ipagsama ninyo ang inyong kapatid.

And Iudah answered him, saying, The man charged vs by an othe, saying, Neuer see my face, except your brother be with you.

4 Kung pasasamahin mo sa amin ang aming kapatid, ay bababa kami, at ibibili ka namin ng pagkain.

If thou wilt sende our brother with vs, we will goe downe, and bye thee foode:

5 Datapuwa't kung hindi mo paparoroonin ay hindi kami bababa: sapagka't sinabi sa amin ng lalaking yaon, Hindi ninyo makikita ang aking mukha, malibang kasama ninyo ang inyong kapatid.

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 At sinabi ni Israel, Bakit ninyo ako ginawan ng masama, na inyong sinabi sa lalake na mayroon pa kayong ibang kapatid?

And Israel sayd, Wherefore delt ye so euill with me, as to tell the man, whether ye had yet a brother or no?

7 At kanilang sinabi, Tinanong kami ng buong siyasat, tungkol sa amin, at tungkol sa aming kamaganakan, na sinasabi, Buhay pa ba ang inyong ama? May iba pa ba kayong kapatid? At isinaysay namin sa kaniya ayon sa mga salitang ito: saan namin malalaman, kaniyang sasabihin, Ibababa ninyo rito ang inyong kapatid?

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 At sinabi ni Juda kay Israel na kaniyang ama. Pasamahin mo sa akin ang bata at kami ay magsisitindig at magsisiyaon; upang tayo'y mabuhay at huwag mamatay, kami, at ikaw, at gayon din ang aming mga bata.

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 Ako ang mananagot sa kaniya; sa aking kamay hahanapin mo siya; kung hindi ko ibalik sa iyo, at ilagay sa harap mo, ay pasanin ko ang sala magpakailan pa man:

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 Sapagka't kung hindi tayo nagluwat, ay nakapagbalik na kaming makalawa.

For except we had made this tarying, doutlesse by this we had returned the second time.

11 At sinabi sa kanila ng kanilang amang si Israel, Kung gayon, ngayo'y gawin ninyo ito: magdala kayo sa inyong bayong ng mga piling bunga ng lupain, at dalhan ninyo ang lalaking yaon ng kaloob, ng kaunting balsamo at kaunting pulot, pabango, at mirra, mga pile at almendras.

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 At magdala kayo ng ibayong halaga ng salapi sa inyong kamay; at ang salaping nabalik sa labi ng inyong mga bayong ay dalhin ninyong muli sa inyong kamay; marahil ay kalituhan:

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 Dalhin din ninyo ang inyong kapatid, at magtindig kayo at pumaroon kayong muli sa lalaking yaon.

Take also your brother and arise, and go againe to the man.

14 At pagkalooban nawa kayo ng Dios na Makapangyarihan sa lahat ng kaawaan sa harap ng lalaking yaon, upang isauli sa inyo ang inyong isang kapatid at si Benjamin. At kung mawalan ako ng mga anak, ay mawalan ako.

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 At dinala ng mga lalake ang kaloob na yaon, at ibayong halaga ng salapi ang dinala sa kanilang kamay, at si Benjamin; at nagsipagtindig, at nagsibaba sa Egipto, at nagsiharap kay Jose.

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 At nang makita ni Jose si Benjamin na kasama nila, ay sinabi niya sa katiwala ng kaniyang bahay: Dalhin mo ang mga lalaking iyan sa bahay, at magpatay ka ng mga hayop, at ihanda mo; sapagka't ang mga lalaking iyan ay magsisipananghaling kasalo ko.

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 At ginawa ng lalake ang ayon sa iniutos sa kaniya ni Jose; at dinala ng katiwala ang mga lalaking yaon sa bahay ni Jose.

And the man did as Ioseph bad, and brought the men vnto Iosephs house.

18 At ang mga lalake ay nangatakot, sapagka't sila'y dinala sa bahay ni Jose; kanilang sinabi: Dahil sa salaping isinauli sa ating mga bayong ng una, ay dinala tayo rito; upang hanapan tayo ng dahilan, at tayo'y ibagsak niya, at tayo'y ariin niyang mga alipin, at pati ng atin mga asno.

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 At sila'y nagsilapit sa katiwala ng bahay ni Jose, at kinausap nila sa pintuan ng bahay.

Therefore came they to Iosephs stewarde, and communed with him at the doore of ye house.

20 At sinabi nila, Oh panginoon ko, tunay na kami ay bumaba ng una na bumili ng pagkain:

And said, Oh syr, we came in deede down hither at the first time to bye foode,

21 At nangyari, nang dumating kami sa tuluyan, na binuksan namin ang aming mga bayong, at, narito, ang salapi ng bawa't isa sa amin ay nasa labi ng kanikaniyang bayong, ang salapi namin sa tunay na timbang: at aming muling dinala sa aming kamay.

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 At nagdala kami ng ibang salapi sa aming kamay upang ibili ng pagkain; hindi namin nalalaman kung sino ang naglagay ng aming salapi sa aming mga bayong.

Also other money haue we brought in our handes to bye foode, but we cannot tell, who put our money in our sackes.

23 At kaniyang sinabi, Mapayapa kayo; huwag kayong matakot, ang Dios ninyo at ang Dios ng inyong ama ang nagbigay sa inyo ng kayamanang natatago sa inyong mga bayong: tinanggap ko ang inyong salapi. At inilabas si Simeon sa kanila.

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 At dinala ng katiwala ang mga lalake sa bahay ni Jose, at sila'y binigyan ng tubig, at nangaghugas ng kanilang mga paa; at binigyan ng pagkain ang kanilang mga asno.

So the man led them into Iosephs house, and gaue them water to wash their feete, and gaue their asses prouender.

25 At kanilang inihanda ang kaloob sa pagdating ni Jose sa tanghali; sapagka't kanilang narinig na doon sila magsisikain ng tinapay.

And they made ready their present against Ioseph came at noone, (for they heard say, that they should eate bread there)

26 At nang dumating si Jose sa bahay, ay dinala nila sa kaniya sa loob ng bahay, ang kaloob na nasa kanilang kamay, at sila'y nagpatirapa sa harap niya.

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 At sila'y kaniyang tinanong tungkol sa kanilang kalagayan, at sinabi, Wala bang sakit ang inyong ama, ang matanda na inyong sinalita? buhay pa ba?

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 At kanilang sinabi, Walang sakit ang iyong lingkod na aming ama, buhay pa. At sila'y nagsiyukod at nagsigalang.

Who answered, Thy seruant our father is in good health, he is yet aliue: and they bowed downe, and made obeysance.

29 At itiningin niya ang kaniyang mga mata, at nakita si Benjamin na kapatid niya, na anak ng kaniyang ina, at sinabi, Ito ba ang inyong kapatid na bunso, na inyong sinalita sa akin? At kaniyang sinabi, Pagpalain ka nawa ng Dios, anak ko.

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 At nagmadali si Jose; sapagka't nagniningas ang kaniyang loob dahil sa kaniyang kapatid: at humanap ng dakong maiiyakan; at pumasok sa kaniyang silid, at umiyak doon.

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 At siya'y naghilamos at lumabas; at nagpigil ng loob, at nagsabi, Maghain kayo ng tinapay.

Afterward he washed his face, and came out, and refrained himselfe, and sayd, Set on meate.

32 At kanilang hinainan siyang bukod, at silang bukod, at ang mga Egipcio na kumakaing kasama niya ay bukod: sapagka't ang mga taga Egipcio ay hindi makakaing kasalo ng mga Hebreo; sapagka't kasuklamsuklam ito sa mga Egipcio.

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 At sila'y nagsiupo sa harap niya, ang panganay ayon sa kaniyang pagkapanganay, at ang bunso ayon sa kaniyang pagkabunso: at ang mga lalake ay nangamamangha na nagtitinginan.

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 At sila'y idinampot ni Jose sa harap niya ng mga ulam: datapuwa't ang ulam ni Benjamin ay humihigit kay sa mga bahagi ng alin man sa kanila ng makalima. At nangaginuman at nangakipagkatuwa sa kaniya.

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.
