5. 5KOSTulik mukul natul Jacob elos wi pac mwet puspis saya som in moul wheat, mweyen sracl sac sun pac acn Canaan.BSBBSB: So the sons of Israel were among those who came to buy grain, since the famine had also spread to the land of Canaan.

Ouinge tamulel lal Joseph elos tuku ac faksufi ye mutal.BSBBSB: 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. 7KOSKe Joseph el liyeak tamulel lal inge, el akilenulos, tusruktu el oru oana elan tia etalos. El kouyak ac siyuk selos, “Komtal tuku ya me?” Elos fahk, “Kut tuku Canaan me in moul mongo.”BSBBSB: 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.”

10. 10KOSAc elos topuk, “Leum lasr, tia ouingan. Kut tuku oana mwet kulansap lom, in moul mongo.BSBBSB: “Not so, my lord,” they replied. “Your servants have come to buy food.
11. 11KOSKut inge nukewa tamulel, ac kut tia mwet kalngeyuk. Kut mwet na suwohs.”BSBBSB: We are all sons of one man. Your servants are honest men, not spies.”
12. 12KOSJoseph el fahk nu selos, “Mo! Komtal tuku in suk ac konauk lah mea kut munas kac.”BSBBSB: “No,” he told them. “You have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”
13. 13KOSNa elos fahk, “Leum lasr, kut tuh tamulel singoul luo nufon, ac kut wen nutin papa sefanna in acn Canaan. Sie tamulel inge misa, ac ma se ma fusr oemeet uh oasr na yurin papa tumasr ah.”BSBBSB: But they answered, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan.

Fin tia ouinge, na oana ke tokosra el moul, komtal mwet sulallal.”BSBBSB: 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. 17KOSKe el fahk ouinge tari, el fuhlelosi in presin ke len tolu.BSBBSB: So Joseph imprisoned them for three days,
18. 18KOSKe len se aktolu ah, Joseph el fahk nu selos, “Nga mwet etu sangeng sin God se, ac sripa sefanna pa nga ac ku in tia unikomtal uh kac.BSBBSB: and on the third day he said to them, “I fear God. So do this and you will live:

Mwet lula an ku in folokla, us wheat ma komtal molela ah, nu yurin sou lomtal ma muta masrinsral soanekomtal an.BSBBSB: 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.

Ma ingan pa pwanang kut sun ongoiya inge.”BSBBSB: 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. 22KOSAc Reuben el fahk, “Nga na fahk mu komtal in tia oru kutena ma nu sin tulik sac, a komtal tiana lohngyu. Ac inge kut eis mwatan misa lal ah.”BSBBSB: 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. 23KOSJoseph el kalem ke ma elos kaskaskin, tusruktu elos tia etu lah el etu mweyen oasr mwet se tafu kas lalos nu sel.BSBBSB: They did not realize that Joseph understood them, since there was an interpreter between them.
24. 24KOSJoseph el som lukelos ac mutawauk in tung. Ke el ku in sifil kaskas el foloko, srella Simeon, ac sap kapiri el ye mutalos.BSBBSB: 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.

This order was carried out,
26. 26KOSTamulel ekasr ah nwakani donkey natulos ke wheat ma elos molela ah, na elos mukuiyak som.BSBBSB: and they loaded the grain on their donkeys and departed.
27. 27KOSKe elos sun acn se elos ac mongla we ke fong sac, sie selos ikasla pak lal ah in kiteya donkey natul uh, tuh konauk lah mani lal ah oan oelucng in pak lal ah.BSBBSB: 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.

29. 29KOSKe elos tuku nu yorol Jacob, papa tumalos in acn Canaan, elos fahkang nu sel ma nukewa ma sikyak nu selos, ac fahk,BSBBSB: When they reached their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they described to him all that had happened to them:
30. 30KOS“Governor lun acn Egypt el tuh kaskas arulana kou nu sesr, ac fahk mu kut mwet kalngeyuk sulallal lain facl sel.BSBBSB: “The man who is lord of the land spoke harshly to us and accused us of spying on the country.
31. 31KOSAc kut tuh topkol ac fahk, ‘Kut tia mwet sulallal. Kut mwet na suwohs.BSBBSB: But we told him, ‘We are honest men, not spies.
32. 32KOSKut tuh tamulel singoul luo nufon nutin papa sefanna, ac sie sin tamulel inge misa, ac ma se ma fusr oemeet uh el srakna oasr Canaan yurin papa tumasr ah.’BSBBSB: 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.’
33. 33KOSAc mwet sac fahk, ‘Pa inge ma se nga ac oru in konauk lah komtal mwet suwohs uh: sie sumtal ac mutana inge, ac ma lula an ac fah us wheat uh ac som nu yen sumtal nu yurin sou lomtal ma masrinsral.BSBBSB: 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.
34. 34KOSTal tuh use tamulel se ma srik oemeet lomtal an nu yuruk, na nga fah etu lah komtal mwet suwohs ac tia mwet sulallal. Nga fah folokunulot tamulel se lomtal inge nu sumtal, ac komtal fah ku in muta inge, moul ac kuka.’”BSBBSB: 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.’”
35. 35KOSNa ke elos okoala pak lalos, elos nukewa konauk lah mani lalos ah oanna in pak lalos. Ac ke elos liye mani uh, elos arulana sangengla, ac Jacob, papa tumalos, el wi pac sangeng.BSBBSB: 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.
36. 36KOSJacob el fahk nu selos, “Ya kowos lungse oru tulik nutik uh kewa in wanginla? Joseph el wanginla, Simeon el wanginla, ac inge komtal ke usalla pac Benjamin. Nga pa ac keokkin ma inge uh!”BSBBSB: 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!”
37. 37KOSReuben el fahk nu sin papa tumal, “Nga fin tia folokunulma Benjamin nu yurum, kom ku in uniya wen luo nutik uh. Fuhlelma nu sik ngan karinganal, ac nga fah folokunulma.”BSBBSB: 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. 38KOSTusruktu Jacob el fahk, “Wen nutik el ac tia wi komtal som. Tamulel lal el misa, ac el mukena lula. Ac ku pac in oasr ma sikyak nu sel inkanek uh. Nga matuoh inge, ac mwe asor komtal oru nu sik inge ku na in uniyuwi.”BSBBSB: But Jacob replied, “My son will not go down there with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If any harm comes to him on your journey, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.”
