1 Mose 43
1 Saa ɛberɛ no mu no, na ɛkɔm no ano da so yɛ den wɔ asase no so nyinaa.
And the derth waxed sore in the lande.
2 Enti, ɛberɛ a aduane a wɔkɔtɔ firii Misraim baeɛ no reyɛ asa no, wɔn agya Yakob ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monsane nkɔ, nkɔtɔ aduane kakra mmra bio.”
And when they had eate vp that corne which they brought out of the lande of Egipte their father sayde vnto them: goo agayne and by vs a litle food.
3 Nanso, Yuda ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya Yakob sɛ, “Owura no suae kyerɛɛ yɛn dendeenden sɛ, ‘Sɛ moamfa mo nua kumaa no anka mo ho amma a, monnsi mʼanim ha bio.’
Than sayde Iuda vnto him: the man dyd testifie vnto vs saynge: loke that ye see not my face excepte youre brother be with you.
4 Sɛ wobɛma yɛne yɛn nua kumaa no akɔ deɛ a, ɛnneɛ, yɛbɛsane akɔ akɔtɔ aduane no bi abrɛ wo.
Therfore yf thou wilt sende oure brother with vs we wyll goo and bye the food.
5 Nanso, sɛ woamma yɛamfa no ankɔ deɛ a, yɛrenkɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, owura no suaee dendeenden sɛ, ‘Sɛ mo nua kumaa no nka mo ho a, monnsi mʼanim bio.’”
But yf thou wylt not sende him we wyll not goo: for the man sayde vnto vs: loke that ye see not my face excepte youre brother be with you.
6 Israel bisaa ne mma no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na moka kyerɛɛ owura no sɛ mowɔ nua kumaa bi wɔ hɔ, na mode saa ɔhaw yi abɛto me so?”
And Israell sayde: wherfore delt ye so cruelly with me as to tell the man that ye had yet another brother?
7 Anuanom no buaa wɔn agya Israel sɛ, “Owura no nyaa adagyeɛ, too ne bo ara bisaa yɛn ne yɛn abusuafoɔ ho nsɛm nyinaa sɛ, ‘Mo agya da so te ase anaa? Mowɔ onua foforɔ bi ka mo ho?’ Nsɛm a ɔbisaa yɛn no na yɛbuaa no. Na yɛnnim sɛ ɔbɛka se, ‘Momfa mo nua kumaa no mmra.’”
And they sayde: The man asked vs of oure kynred saynge: is youre father yet alyue? haue ye not another brother? And we tolde him acordynge to these wordes. How cowd we knowe that he wolde byd vs brynge oure brother downe with vs?
8 Ɛhɔ na Yuda ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya Israel sɛ, “Fa yɛn nua no hyɛ me nsa, na yɛnsi mu nkɔ ntɛm nkɔtɔ aduane no bi mmra, na ɛkɔm ankum yɛn ne wo ne yɛn mma.
Than sayde Iuda vnto Israell his father: Send the lad with me and we wyll ryse and goo that we maye lyue and not dye: both we thou and also oure childern.
9 Mʼankasa mɛhwɛ abɔfra no so. Sɛ mamfa no amma a, bisa me. Sɛ mamfa no amma, ammɛgyina wʼanim ha, amma woanhunu sɛ wo ba no ni a, saa asodie no nna me so me nkwanna nyinaa.
I wilbe suertie for him and of my handes requyre him. Yf I brynge him not to the and sett him before thine eyes than let me bere the blame for euer.
10 Sɛ yɛantwentwɛn yɛn nan ase a, anka saa ɛberɛ yi, yɛakɔ aba bɛyɛ mprenu.”
For except we had made this tarieg: by this we had bene there twyse and come agayne.
11 Afei, wɔn agya Israel ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ meyɛ ho hwee na ɛrenyɛ yie deɛ a, ɛnneɛ, momfa asase yi so nnepa a ebi ne akyenkyennuro kakra, ɛwoɔ kakra, aduhwam, kurobo, nkateɛ ne sorɔno aba nhyɛ mo nkotokuo mu, nkɔyɛ owura no ayɛ.
Than their father Israel sayde vnto the Yf it must nedes be so now: than do thus take of the best frutes of the lande in youre vesselles and brynge the man a present a curtesie bawlme and a curtesie of hony spyces and myrre dates and almondes.
12 Sika a mode rekɔ no nso, monyɛ no mmɔho mmienu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ mosane de sika a kane no mode kɔeɛ na ɔsane de hyɛɛ mo nnesoa mu baeɛ no kɔma no. Ebia, na ɛyɛɛ no anifasoɔ.
And take as moch money more with you. And the money that was brought agayne in youre sackes take it agayne with you in youre handes peraduenture it was some ouersyghte.
13 Momfa mo nua no nso nka mo ho, na monsim ntɛm ntɛm nkɔ.
Take also youre brother with you and aryse and goo agayne to the man.
14 Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn nnyina mo akyiri, na owura no nhunu mo mmɔbɔ, na ɔnnyaa mo nua panin Simeon, na ɔmfa Benyamin nso nka mo ho, na mo nyinaa nsane mmra. Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ medi wɔn wuo ho awerɛhoɔ nso a, menni asɛm biara ka.”
And God almightie geue you mercie in the sighte of the man and send you youre other brother and also Be Iamin and I wilbe as a ma robbed of his childern.
15 Enti, Israel mma no faa akyɛdeɛ ahodoɔ a wɔde rekɔ akɔyɛ owura no ayɛ no, ne wɔn sika mmɔho mmienu, ne wɔn nua kumaa Benyamin kaa wɔn ho, siim kɔeɛ. Wɔduruu Misraim no, wɔkɔyii wɔn ho adi kyerɛɛ Yosef.
Thus toke they the present and twise so moch more money with them and Ben Iamin. And rose vp went downe to Egipte and presented them selfe to Ioseph.
16 Ɛberɛ a Yosef hunuu sɛ Benyamin ka wɔn ho no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne fie ɔsomfoɔ panin no sɛ, “Fa nkurɔfoɔ no kɔ me fie, na kum aboa bi, na wɔmfa nnoa aduane, na awia me ne wɔn bɛdidi.”
When Ioseph sawe Ben Iamin with them he sayde to the ruelar of his house: brynge these men home and sley and make redie: for they shall dyne with me at none.
17 Ɔsomfoɔ panin no yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Yosef kaeɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Ɔde nkurɔfoɔ no kɔɔ Yosef fie.
And the man dyd as Ioseph bad and brought them in to Iosephs house.
18 Ɔde wɔn duruu Yosef fie no, wɔsuroeɛ. Wɔkaa sɛ, “Gyama ɛsiane dwetɛ a wɔde hyehyɛɛ yɛn nkotokuo mu no enti na ɔde yɛn aba ha. Ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde korɔno to yɛn so, na ɔfa yɛn sɛ ne nkoa, na ɔsane fa yɛn mfunumu no nyinaa.”
When they were brought to Iosephs house they were afrayde ad sayde: be cause of the money yt came in oure sackes mouthes at the first tyme are we brought to pyke a quarell with vs and to laye some thinge to oure charge: to brynge us in bondage and oure asses also.
19 Wɔduruu Yosef fie kwan no ano no, wɔkɔɔ Yosef ɔsomfoɔ panin no nkyɛn.
Therfore came they to the man that was the ruelar ouer Iosephs house and comened with him at the doore
20 Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛn wura, yɛsrɛ wo, yɛbaa ha ɛberɛ bi a atwam bɛtɔɔ aduane.
and sayde: Sir we came hither at the first tyme to bye foode
21 Ɛberɛ a yɛresane akɔ yɛn kurom a adeɛ saeɛ, na yɛsoɛsoɛɛ no, asoeɛ hɔ na yɛbuebuee yɛn nkotokuo ano, na yɛhunuu sɛ obiara sika a ɛkura no a anka ɔde rekɔtɔ aburoo no hyɛ ne kotokuo no mu pɛpɛɛpɛ. Ɛno enti, yɛasane de aba.
and as we came to an Inne and opened oure sackes: beholde euery mannes money was in his sacke with full weghte: But we haue broght it agene with us
22 Yɛasane de sika foforɔ aba sɛ yɛde rebɛtɔ aduane. Yɛnnim onipa ko a ɔde saa sika no hyehyɛɛ yɛn nkotokuo no mu.”
and other mony haue we brought also in oure handes to bye foode but we can not tell who put oure money in oure sackes.
23 Ɔsomfoɔ panin no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ asɛm biara. Monnsuro. Onyame a mosom no ne mo agya Onyame a ɔsom no na ɔde saa sika no hyehyɛɛ mo nkotokuo no mu maa mo. Na mo sika no deɛ, yɛgyeeɛ.” Afei, ɔyii Simeon firii afiase hɔ de no brɛɛ wɔn.
And he sayde: be of good chere feare not: Youre God and the God of youre fathers hath put you that treasure in youre sackes for I had youre money. And he brought Simeon out to them
24 Ɔsomfoɔ panin no de wɔn kɔɔ Yosef fie, maa wɔn nsuo hohoroo wɔn nan ase, ɛnna ɔmaa wɔn mfunumu no nso aduane diiɛ.
ad led the into Iosephs house and gaue the water to washe their fete and gaue their asses prauender:
25 Wɔboaboaa akyɛdeɛ a wɔde bɛma Yosef no ano de twɛn no, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔate sɛ wɔbɛdidi wɔ efie hɔ awia no.
And they made redie their present agaynst Ioseph came at none for they herde saye that they shulde dyne there.
26 Ɛberɛ a Yosef baeɛ no, anuanom no buu no nkotodwe, de wɔn akyɛdeɛ no maa no.
When Ioseph came home they brought the present in to the house to him which they had in their handes ad fell flat on the grounde befor him.
27 Yosef bisaa wɔn sɛdeɛ wɔn ho te. Ɔtoaa so sɛ, “Mo agya akɔkoraa a mokaa ne ho asɛm no ho te sɛn? Ɔda so te ase anaa?”
And he welcomed the curteously sainge: is youre father that old man which ye tolde me of in good health? and is he yet alyue?
28 Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Wʼakoa a ɔyɛ yɛn agya no ho yɛ. Ɔda so te ase.” Wɔde obuo ne anidie bɔɔ wɔn mu ase wɔ nʼanim.
they answered: thy servaunte oure father is in good health ad is yet alyue. And they bowed them selues and fell to the grounde.
29 Ɛberɛ a nʼani tɔɔ ne maame ba Benyamin anim no, ɔbisaa sɛ, “Yei ne mo nua kumaa a mokaa ne ho asɛm kyerɛɛ me no anaa?” Ɔtoaa so sɛ, “Me ba, Onyankopɔn nnom wo!”
And he lyfte vp his eyes and behelde his brother Ben Iamin his mothers sonne and sayde: is this youre yongest brother of whome ye sayde vnto me? And sayde: God be mercyfull vnto ye my sonne.
30 Yosef hunuu ne nua kumaa Benyamin no, ne werɛ hoeɛ enti, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm firii adi kɔhyɛɛ ne piam, kɔsuiɛ.
And Ioseph made hast (for his hert dyd melt apon his brother) and soughte for to wepe and entred in to his chambre for to wepe there.
31 Ɔsu wieeɛ no, ɔhohoroo nʼanim, sane baeɛ de animia kaa sɛ, “Momma yɛnnidi!”
And he wasshed his face and came out and refrayned himselfe and bad sett bread on the table
32 Wɔtoo Yosef ɛpono wɔ baabi, ɛnna wɔtoo anuanom no nso ɛpono wɔ baabi wɔ ɛdan korɔ no ara mu. Misraimfoɔ a wɔyɛ Yosef asomfoɔ no nso didii wɔ baabi foforɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, Misraimfoɔ ne Hebrifoɔ nto nsa nnidi, ɛyɛ wɔn akyiwadeɛ.
And they prepared for him by himselfe and for them by them selues and for the Egiptians which ate with him by them selues because the Egyptians may not eate bread with the Hebrues for that is an abhomynacyon vnto the Egiptians.
33 Wɔde Yosef nuanom no tenatenaa ase mpanin mu. Ɛyɛɛ saa maa anuanom no de ahodwirie hwehwɛhwehwɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho anim.
And they satt before him: the eldest acordynge vnto his age and the yongest acordyng vnto his youth. And the men marveled amonge them selves.
34 Wɔtetee nnuane no firi Yosef ɛpono so kɔmaa wɔn, nanso Benyamin deɛ, na ne deɛ no dɔɔso sene ne nua biara deɛ mprenum. Ɛmaa wɔne Yosef de anigyeɛ ne ahosɛpɛ didi nomeeɛ.
And they broughte rewardes vnto them from before him: but Ben Iamins parte was fyue tymes so moch as any of theirs. And they ate and they dronke and were dronke wyth him.
