Da-u̱ Yakubu nape̱ u̱zu̱ no̱m u̱t-re̱ o̱ro u̱ dak-u̱ Masar, wa zu̱ ya-u̱t-zwaru̱ wa, <<¿Remu-u yan o̱ no̱ o̱tte̱ u̱ shu̱'u̱t u̱ gwat-du̱ hi-du̱ war-no̱?
BSB
BSB:
When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why are you staring at one another?”
2
GEL
U̱m ho̱k u̱zu̱ no̱m u̱t-re̱ o̱ro u̱ Masar, de̱e̱n no̱ o̱o̱nu̱ in no̱m u̱t-re̱ ko̱ in u̱t-no̱m u̱r-fat, u̱ taas in mar da.>>
BSB
BSB:
“Look,” he added, “I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, so that we may live and not die.”
3
GEL
Se̱ tu̱-wu̱to̱ Yusuhu ne̱t-ne̱ o̱p e̱ aru̱k m-ha u̱ Masar, u̱ remu̱ e̱ o̱o̱tu̱n no̱m u̱t-re̱.
BSB
BSB:
So ten of Joseph’s brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
4
GEL
Se̱di Yakubu to̱mo̱g Banyamin hu̱no-u Yusuhu da, wa o̱ u̱t-ge̱r taas o̱ko̱n no̱m-u yo̱-o̱ kum wa da.
BSB
BSB:
But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “I am afraid that harm might befall him.”
5
GEL
Ya-u̱t-zwaru̱ Isra yu̱ne̱ du̱gu̱ Kan'ana m-ha u̱ Masar e̱ o̱o̱tu̱n no̱m u̱t-re̱, remu̱ zu̱ me̱r-su̱ o̱ró Kan'ana sok.
BSB
BSB:
So the sons of Israel were among those who came to buy grain, since the famine had also spread to the land of Canaan.
6
GEL
Yusuhu wa o̱ye̱ wa-u-dak u̱ Masar. Wa o̱ wa bab-du̱ hyu̱ u̱du̱ ne̱t-tu̱ haane̱ u̱ dak-u̱ Masar u-be̱e̱t. Se̱ o̱r-u̱t Yusuhu haan, e̱ he̱ u̱ shu̱ wa u̱t-jwu̱n, e̱ kaku̱s u̱t-hi u-dak.
BSB
BSB:
Now Joseph was the ruler of the land; he was the one who sold grain to all its people. So when his brothers arrived, they bowed down before him with their faces to the ground.
7
GEL
Da-u̱ Yusuhu hyane̱ o̱r-u̱t wa ne̱, wa nu̱p u̱zu̱ hu̱no-u̱t wa to̱. Se̱ wa nom u̱ka ham-u̱t wa wa o̱ye̱ wa no̱mu̱ u̱n u̱s-rem u̱ namu̱ jab ne̱. Wa zu̱, <<¿Du̱gu̱ he̱ne̱ no̱ rwu̱ne̱?>> E̱ zu̱, <<It rwu̱gu̱n du̱gu̱ dak-u̱ Kan'ana, it haagu̱n it o̱ no̱m u̱t-re̱.>>
BSB
BSB:
And when Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he treated them as strangers and spoke harshly to them. “Where have you come from?” he asked. “From the land of Canaan,” they replied. “We are here to buy food.”
8
GEL
Yusuhu nak o̱r-u̱t wa, se̱di e̱ baku̱ste̱ u̱zu̱ ne̱t wu̱ o̱o̱ge̱ ees u̱-shu̱ e̱ Yusuhu wa da.
BSB
BSB:
Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.
9
GEL
Yusuhu baku̱s bo'-u̱ wa no̱me̱. Wa zu̱ u̱n, <<No̱ haan m-haan, remu̱ no̱ gwat u̱ka dak-u it o̱tte̱. A-gwat-du̱ u-dak-ne̱ e̱ no̱ o̱ye̱.>>
BSB
BSB:
Joseph remembered his dreams about them and said, “You are spies! You have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”
10
GEL
E̱ zu̱ wa, <<O'o u̱so u-bu ri, to̱k-ne̱ ró hagu̱n remu̱ e̱ o̱ no̱m u̱t-re̱.
BSB
BSB:
“Not so, my lord,” they replied. “Your servants have come to buy food.
11
GEL
It ya'ag-u̱ wa-gan ne̱ it o̱ye̱ be̱e̱t. It ne̱t-tu̱ u̱t-nip to̱ to̱k-ne̱ ró e̱. A-gwat-du̱ u-dak-ne̱ e̱ da.>>
BSB
BSB:
We are all sons of one man. Your servants are honest men, not spies.”
12
GEL
Yusuhu zu̱ u̱n, <<O'o, no̱ haan m-haan remu̱ no̱ hyen-u̱t u̱ka be̱b-du̱ dak-u̱ it o̱tte̱.>>
BSB
BSB:
“No,” he told them. “You have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”
13
GEL
Se̱ e̱ zu̱ wu̱n, <<It rwu̱gu̱n u-bu u-gan, it ya'ag-u̱ wa-gan ne̱, it o̱ o̱p u̱ yu̱r campa-ne̱. It haagu̱n du̱gu̱ dak-u̱ Kan'ana. Vaste̱-u̱r it o̱ u̱r-ko̱t u̱ u̱so-u it ne̱, wa-gan it wa zamu̱n u̱r-fat da.>>
BSB
BSB:
But they answered, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is now with our father, and one is no more.”
14
GEL
Yusuhu zu̱ u̱n, <<U̱ka u̱m zu̱tte̱ no̱, no̱ a-gwat-du̱ u-dak-ne̱ e̱.
BSB
BSB:
Then Joseph declared, “Just as I said, you are spies!
15
GEL

BSB
BSB:
And this is how you will be tested: As surely as Pharaoh lives, you shall not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.
16

BSB
BSB:
Send one of your number to get your brother; the rest of you will be confined so that the truth of your words may be tested. If they are untrue, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!”
17
GEL
Se̱ Yusuhu wu̱ u̱n u̱ bu-u m-to̱k m-roog u̱t-tu̱t.
BSB
BSB:
So Joseph imprisoned them for three days,
18

U̱ ho̱-du̱ u-tu̱tu̱rse̱, Yusuhu zu̱ u̱n, <<Me̱ ne̱t-u̱ u-gye̱r u-Ru̱ wa. A no̱ no̱me̱ no̱m-u̱ u̱m zu̱ no̱ no̱m, no̱ u̱t-no̱m u̱r-fat.
BSB
BSB:
and on the third day he said to them, “I fear God. So do this and you will live:

A mu̱ne̱ u̱zu̱ no̱ a-u̱t-nip-ne̱ e̱, yagu̱n waku̱n wa shu̱'u̱t u̱ bu-u̱ m-to̱k, se̱ i kuse̱ e̱ mutu̱ a-u-bu u̱s-me̱r no̱ no̱m u̱t-re̱.
BSB
BSB:
If you are honest, leave one of your brothers in custody while the rest of you go and take back grain to relieve the hunger of your households.
20
GEL
Remu̱ iya se̱ no̱ hatu̱n du̱-dim-u̱ no̱ u̱du̱ ri, ko̱ na gwat-u̱ rem-u̱s no̱ taas u̱ no̱ mar da.>> E̱ ees e̱ nom iya.
BSB
BSB:
Then bring your youngest brother to me so that your words can be verified, that you may not die.” And to this they consented.
21
GEL
Se̱ e̱ zu̱ hi-du̱ war-e̱, <<Za u-sakna na o̱ yadu̱ in u̱r-ko̱b u̱ remu̱ no̱mu̱ in no̱me̱ hu̱no-u in. In hyanu̱g ka jab-u̱ wu̱n nu̱u̱te da-u̱ wa o̱o̱ge̱ u̱ ko̱n-du̱ in u̱ remu̱ fat-u̱r rò, se̱di in gu̱gu̱m u̱t-e̱r, o̱ wa'e̱ din-de̱ swadu̱ u̱r-ko̱b de̱ haatu̱n in.>>
BSB
BSB:
Then they said to one another, “Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw his anguish when he pleaded with us, but we would not listen. That is why this distress has come upon us.”
22
GEL
Rube̱n zu̱, <<¿U̱m wargu̱ no̱ u̱zu̱ a no̱ no̱mu̱ wa'-u̱ wa o̱ko̱n da? No̱ gu̱gu̱m ho̱g-du̱ me̱. Tu̱msu̱ to̱p-u̱ no̱m-u̱ in no̱mu̱ wa na o̱ no̱mu̱ in.>>
BSB
BSB:
And Reuben responded, “Didn’t I tell you not to sin against the boy? But you would not listen. Now we must account for his blood!”
23
GEL
U̱n nak u̱zu̱ Yusuhu o̱ ho̱gu̱ u̱n da, u̱ remu̱ zu̱ a wa o̱ u̱s-rem u̱ u̱n ne̱ waku̱n o̱ u̱t-bargu̱sse̱ u̱t-war.
BSB
BSB:
They did not realize that Joseph understood them, since there was an interpreter between them.
24

Se̱ Yusuhu hast shu̱-u wa u̱-kit, wa hu̱ u̱s-kan. Tu̱msu̱ se̱ wa byu̱ru̱n u̱du̱ u̱n wa no̱mu̱ u̱n u̱s-rem. Wa umus Simiyo̱n du̱gu̱ me̱ u̱n wa wu̱' na gu̱ku̱s wa u̱ hyan-mu̱ is-u̱ u̱n. Na hu̱u̱t wa u̱ bu-u̱ m-to̱k.
BSB
BSB:
And he turned away from them and wept. When he turned back and spoke to them, he took Simeon from them and had him bound before their eyes.
25

BSB
BSB:
Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, to return each man’s silver to his sack, and to give them provisions for their journey. This order was carried out,
26
GEL
Se̱ u̱n gagu̱ janka u̱n ba-tu̱ hyu̱, se̱ u̱n aru̱k, u̱n dor u-fu̱n m-mu̱.

BSB:
and they loaded the grain on their donkeys and departed.

BSB
BSB:
At the place where they lodged for the night, one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver in the mouth of the sack.
28
GEL
Wa zu̱ o̱r-u̱t wa, <<Na mu̱ttu̱n me̱ shik-u̱ ri. E̱ ya ba-u̱r ri.>> Se̱ jab-u̱ u̱n mor u̱n hog u-gye̱r ko̱wan bir wa got o̱r-u̱ wa, wa zu̱, <<¿Yan o̱ iya u̱ Ru̱-u̱ no̱me̱ ine̱?>>
BSB
BSB:
“My silver has been returned!” he said to his brothers. “It is here in my sack.” Their hearts sank, and trembling, they turned to one another and said, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29
GEL

BSB:
When they reached their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they described to him all that had happened to them:
30

E̱ zu̱ wu̱n, <<Ne̱t wu̱ o̱o̱ge̱ wa-u-dak u̱ Masar wa no̱ngu̱ it u̱s-rem u̱ namu̱ jab ne̱. Wa kagu̱b it a-gwat-du̱ u-dak-ne̱.

BSB:
“The man who is lord of the land spoke harshly to us and accused us of spying on the country.
31
GEL
Tu̱msu̱ it zu̱ wa, <It ne̱t-tu̱ u̱t-nip to̱, za a-gwat-du̱ u-dak-ne̱ e̱ da.

But we told him, ‘We are honest men, not spies.

BSB:
We are twelve brothers, sons of one father. One is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.’

BSB
BSB:
Then the man who is lord of the land said to us, ‘This is how I will know whether you are honest: Leave one brother with me, take food to relieve the hunger of your households, and go.

But bring your youngest brother back to me so I will know that you are not spies but honest men. Then I will give your brother back to you, and you can trade in the land.’”

BSB
BSB:
As they began emptying their sacks, there in each man’s sack was his bag of silver! And when they and their father saw the bags of silver, they were dismayed.

U̱so u̱n Yakubu zu̱ u̱n, <<No̱ wa'ag u̱m taag u̱ yaag yu̱r, Yusuhu zarra tu̱msu̱ Simiyo̱n zarra, u̱ da-o̱ tu̱msu̱ no̱ u̱t-sa no̱ kab Banyamin. Me̱ o̱ wa swadu̱ u̱r-ko̱b u̱ no̱mu̱ o̱ m-da ne̱ u-be̱e̱t.>>

Their father Jacob said to them, “You have deprived me of my sons. Joseph is gone and Simeon is no more. Now you want to take Benjamin. Everything is going against me!”

Then Reuben said to his father, “You may kill my two sons if I fail to bring him back to you. Put him in my care, and I will return him.”
38

Tu̱msu̱ Yakubu zu̱, <<Banyamin za m-ha u̱ no̱ ne̱ da, remu̱ zu̱ Yusuhu maru̱g tu̱msu̱ wa kuse̱ u̱ war-wa. A o̱ku̱n no̱mu yo̱-o̱ kume̱ wa u̱ do̱m-u u-fu̱n, no̱ u̱t-wa me̱ ne̱nge̱n-yu̱ hi-u̱r pus-de̱, m-mar u̱ remu̱ namu̱ jab.>>
