Genesis 43
1 At ang kagutom ay mahigpit sa lupain.
And the famine [is] severe 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 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 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 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 Kung pasasamahin mo sa amin ang aming kapatid, ay bababa kami, at ibibili ka namin ng pagkain.
if you are sending our brother with us, we go down, and buy for you food,
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.
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 At sinabi ni Israel, Bakit ninyo ako ginawan ng masama, na inyong sinabi sa lalake na mayroon pa kayong ibang kapatid?
And Israel says, “Why did you do evil to me, by declaring to the man that you had yet a brother?”
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 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 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.
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 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 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 Sapagka't kung hindi tayo nagluwat, ay nakapagbalik na kaming makalawa.
for if we had not lingered, surely now we had returned these two times.”
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.
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 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 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 Dalhin din ninyo ang inyong kapatid, at magtindig kayo at pumaroon kayong muli sa lalaking yaon.
And take your brother, and rise, return 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 does as Joseph has said, and the man brings in the men into the house of Joseph,
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.
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 At sila'y nagsilapit sa katiwala ng bahay ni Jose, at kinausap nila sa pintuan ng bahay.
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 At sinabi nila, Oh panginoon ko, tunay na kami ay bumaba ng una na bumili ng pagkain:
and say, “O my lord, we really come down at the commencement to buy food;
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 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 At kanilang inihanda ang kaloob sa pagdating ni Jose sa tanghali; sapagka't kanilang narinig na doon sila magsisikain ng tinapay.
and they prepare the present until the coming of Joseph at noon, for they have heard that there they eat bread.
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.
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 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 asks of them of peace and says, “Is your father well? The aged man of whom you have spoken, is he yet alive?”
28 At kanilang sinabi, Walang sakit ang iyong lingkod na aming ama, buhay pa. At sila'y nagsiyukod at nagsigalang.
And they say, “Your servant our father [is] well, he is yet alive”; and they bow, and pay respect.
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 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 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 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 At siya'y naghilamos at lumabas; at nagpigil ng loob, at nagsabi, Maghain kayo ng tinapay.
and he washes his face, and goes out, and refrains himself, and says, “Place bread.”
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 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 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.
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 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 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.
