1. 1MKWNsatu ya nene vwandaka tatamana na kulutila dyaka na yinsi.BSBBSB: Now the famine was still severe in the land.
2. 2MKWNtangu bawu manisaka na kudya bambuma ya faline yina bawu sumbaka na Ngipiti, Yakobi tubaka na bana ya yandi mutindu yayi: «Beno vutuka kuna, beno kwenda sumbila beto mwa bima ya kudya.»BSBBSB: So when Jacob’s sons had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, “Go back and buy us a little more food.”
3. 3MKWYuda vutulaka na yandi: «Muntu yina zabisaka beto ti, mu ke yamba beno ve, kana leki ya beno kele ve na beno.BSBBSB: But Judah replied, “The man solemnly warned us, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’
4. 4MKWKana nge ndima ti leki ya beto kukwenda na beto, kuna beto ke kwenda sumbila nge bima ya kudya.BSBBSB: If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy food for you.
5. 5MKWKana nge zola ve, zaba ti beto ke kwenda ve. Samu ti muntu yango zabisaka beto: “Mu ke yamba beno ve, kana beno kwiza ve na leki ya beno.”»BSBBSB: But if you will not send him, we will not go; for the man told us, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’”
6. 6MKWIsayeli vutulaka: «Samu na yinki beno me sala munu yimbi na kuzonza na muntu yina ti, beno kele na mpangi ya nkaka?»BSBBSB: “Why did you bring this trouble upon me?” Israel asked. “Why did you tell the man you had another brother?”
7. 7MKWBawu vutulaka: «Ni yandi muntu yufulaka beto byuvu na yina me tadila beto mpe dikanda ya beto. Yandi yufulaka beto mutindu yayi: “Tata ya beno kele ntete moyo? Beno kele na mpangi ya nkaka?” Beto vutulaka bamvutu na byuvu ya yandi. Beto lendaka zaba ve ti yandi zolaka tuba ti: “Beno nata leki ya beno”.»BSBBSB: They replied, “The man questioned us in detail about ourselves and our family: ‘Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?’ And we answered him accordingly. How could we possibly know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother here’?”
8. 8MKWYuda zonzaka na tata ya yandi Isayeli: «Bika ti mwana kukwenda na munu. Beto kwenda kana beto zola vwanda moyo mpe beto kufwa ve, beto, na nge, mpe na bana ya beto.BSBBSB: And Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy with me, and we will go at once, so that we may live and not die—neither we, nor you, nor our children.
9. 9MKWMu me bula ntulu na kuvutula yandi, ni na munu nge ke yufula yandi. Kana mu vutula ve yandi na nge, mu ke talana muntu ya yimbi na mantwala ya nge luzingu ya munu nyonso.BSBBSB: I will guarantee his safety. You may hold me personally responsible. If I do not bring him back and set him before you, then may I bear the guilt before you all my life.
10. 10MKWKana beto me lutisa ve ntangu mingi awa, beto zolaka kwenda mpe kuvutuka ata bambala zole.»BSBBSB: If we had not delayed, we could have come and gone twice by now.”
11. 11MKWTata ya bawu Isayeli tubaka na bawu: «Kana ya kele mutindu yina, beno sala mutindu yayi: “Beno tula na basaki ya beno bima ya kitoko ya yinsi ya beto, samu na kupesa dikabu na muntu yina. Beno baka mwa ndambu ya maaka ya nsunga ya mutindu na mutindu, na ndambu ya mafuta ya nyosi, mafuta yina ba ke bokilaka ladanyome, ndambu ya bankandi, na bambuma ya nkaka.BSBBSB: Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your packs and carry them down as a gift for the man—a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachios and almonds.
12. 12MKWBeno nata mbongo ya nkaka, mpe beno zimbana ve na kuvutula mbongo yina bawu tulaka na basaki ya beno. Yawu lenda vwanda ti ba zimbanaka.BSBBSB: Take double the silver with you so that you may return the silver that was put back into the mouths of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake.
13. 13MKWBeno baka mpangi ya beno, mpe beno vutuka na sika ya muntu yina.BSBBSB: Take your brother as well, and return to the man at once.
14. 14MKWBika ti Nzambi-Mpungu kusimba ntima ya yandi, samu ti yandi tadila beno kyadi, mpe yandi bika Bezame na mpangi ya beno ya nkaka kuvutuka na beno! Na yina me tadila munu, mu ke bikana kwandi na mwana ve mutindu ti mu butaka ve.” »BSBBSB: May God Almighty grant you mercy before the man, that he may release your other brother along with Benjamin. As for me, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”
15. 15MKWBana ya Yakobi bakaka dikabu, bawu bakaka mpe mbongo ya nkaka mpe leki ya bawu Bezame. Bawu kwendaka na Ngipiti. Ntangu bawu kumaka, bawu kwendaka talana na mantwala ya Yosefi.BSBBSB: So the men took these gifts, along with double the amount of silver, and Benjamin as well. Then they hurried down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.
16. 16MKWNtangu Yosefi talaka Bezame na bampangi ya yandi, yandi tubaka na ntwadisi ya yinzo ya yandi mutindu yayi: «Nata bantu yayi na yinzo ya munu, kufwa kibulu mosi mpe lamba yawu. Bawu ke kudya na munu na midi.»BSBBSB: When Joseph saw Benjamin with his brothers, he said to the steward of his house, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare it, for they shall dine with me at noon.”
17. 17MKWNtwadisi yango salaka yina Yosefi tumisaka yandi, mpe yandi nataka bantu yina na yinzo ya Yosefi.BSBBSB: The man did as Joseph had commanded and took the brothers to Joseph’s house.
18. 18MKWBawu kuzwaka boma na kukota na yinzo ya Yosefi, mpe bawu tubaka bawu na bawu mutindu yayi: «Ni samu na mbongo yina ba tulaka na basaki ya beto, ntangu beto kwizaka na mbala ya ntete. Bawu me kotisa beto kwaku samu na kusala beto yimbi. Bawu ke baka bambuluku ya beto, mpe ke kumisa beto mindongo ya bawu.»BSBBSB: But the brothers were frightened that they had been taken to Joseph’s house. “We have been brought here because of the silver that was returned in our bags the first time,” they said. “They intend to overpower us and take us as slaves, along with our donkeys.”
19. 19MKWBampangi ya Yosefi kwendaka pene-pene ya kisadi ya yandi na mwelo ya yinzo, mpe bawu zabisaka yandi mutindu yayi:BSBBSB: So they approached Joseph’s steward and spoke to him at the entrance to the house.
20. 20MKW«Mulemvo ya nge mfumu, ntete-ntete beto kwizaka kwaku na kusumba bima ya kudya.BSBBSB: “Please, sir,” they said, “we really did come down here the first time to buy food.
21. 21MKWNtangu beto vwandaka vutuka, beto kumaka na kisika ya kulutisila mpimpa. Kuna beto fungulaka basaki ya beto. Ntangu beto fungulaka yawu, beto talaka mbongo ya mosi-mosi na beto na kati ya saki, mpe yawu vwandaka ya kulunga. Ni yawu yina, beto me kwiza na yawu.BSBBSB: But when we came to the place we lodged for the night, we opened our sacks and, behold, each of us found his silver in the mouth of his sack! It was the full amount of our silver, and we have brought it back with us.
22. 22MKWBeto me nata mpe mbongo ya nkaka ya kusumbila bima ya kudya. Beto zaba ve nani tulaka yawu na basaki ya beto.»BSBBSB: We have brought additional silver with us to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks.”
23. 23MKWNtwadisi ya yinzo ya Yosefi vutulaka: «Beno vwanda swii, mpe beno vwanda ve na boma. Ni Nzambi ya beno, mpe Nzambi ya tata ya beno, ni yandi tulaka kimvwama na basaki ya beno. Kasi mbongo yina beno nataka, mu bakaka yawu.» Na manima, yandi basisaka Simewone, mpe nataka yandi na kisika yina bampangi ya yandi vwandaka.BSBBSB: “It is fine,” said the steward. “Do not be afraid. Your God, the God of your father, gave you the treasure that was in your sacks. I received your silver.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.
24. 24MKWNtwadisi ya yinzo ya Yosefi kotisaka bawu na kati ya yinzo ya Yosefi. Ba natinaka bawu maza ya kusukudila makulu mpe madya ya bambuluku ya bawu.BSBBSB: And the steward took the men into Joseph’s house, gave them water to wash their feet, and provided food for their donkeys.
25. 25MKWBawu kubikaka dikabu na kuvingilaka ti Yosefi kukwiza na midi, samu ti ba zabisaka bawu ti, bawu ke kudya na Yosefi.BSBBSB: Since the brothers had been told that they were going to eat a meal there, they prepared their gift for Joseph’s arrival at noon.
26. 26MKWNtangu Yosefi kumaka na yinzo ya yandi, bampangi ya yandi pesaka yandi dikabu yina vwandaka na bawu, mpe na manima, bawu fukamaka na mantwala ya yandi kizizi na ntoto.BSBBSB: When Joseph came home, they presented him with the gifts they had brought, and they bowed to the ground before him.
27. 27MKWYosefi yufulaka bawu: «Beno kele mbote? Tata ya beno ya kiboba yina beno zonzilaka munu, yandi kele mbote? Yandi kele ntete moyo?»BSBBSB: He asked if they were well, and then he asked, “How is your elderly father you told me about? Is he still alive?”
28. 28MKWBawu vutulaka: «Kisadi ya nge, tata ya beto, kele mbote, yandi kele ntete moyo.» Bawu yinamaka mpe fukamaka kizizi na ntoto.BSBBSB: “Your servant our father is well,” they answered. “He is still alive.” And they bowed down to honor him.
29. 29MKWYosefi talaka Bezame mpangi ya yandi ya mama mosi mpe yandi tubaka: «Ni yandi leki ya beno yina beno zonzilaka munu?» Yandi tubaka dyaka: «Mwana ya munu, bika ti Nzambi kulakisa nge bumbote ya yandi.»BSBBSB: When Joseph looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his own mother’s son, he asked, “Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?” Then he declared, “May God be gracious to you, my son.”
30. 30MKWYosefi talaka kyadi na ntima ntangu yandi talaka mpangi ya yandi, mpe yandi kuzwaka nsatu ya kudila. Mbala mosi yandi telamaka mpe kwendaka dila na kivinga ya yandi.BSBBSB: Joseph hurried out because he was moved to tears for his brother, and he went to a private room to weep.
31. 31MKWNtangu yandi manisaka na kudila, yandi sukulaka kizizi ya yandi mpe yandi basikaka na kivinga ya yandi. Yandi kangaka ntima mpe tubaka: «Beno kabula madya.»BSBBSB: Then he washed his face and came back out. Regaining his composure, he said, “Serve the meal.”
32. 32MKWBa tudilaka Yosefi madya na mesa ya yandi mosi, mpe bampangi ya yandi na mesa ya nkaka. Mutindu mosi bantu ya Ngipiti yina vwandaka na yinzo ya Yosefi, bawu mpe na mesa ya nkaka. Samu ti bantu ya Ngipiti vwandaka kudya ve madya kisika mosi na ba-Ebeleyo. Yawu kele dyambu ya nganzi samu na bantu ya Ngipiti.BSBBSB: They separately served Joseph, his brothers, and the Egyptians. They ate separately because the Egyptians would not eat with the Hebrews, since that was detestable to them.
33. 33MKWBampangi ya Yosefi vwandilaka na mantwala ya yandi. Ba vwandisaka bawu na mulonga, kubanda na mwana ya ntete tii na mwana ya mansukina. Samu na yawu, bawu vwandaka talasana na kupamuka nyonso.BSBBSB: They were seated before Joseph in order by age, from the firstborn to the youngest, and the men looked at one another in astonishment.
34. 34MKWYosefi tumisaka ba tudila bawu madya yina vwandaka na mesa ya yandi. Kasi madya ya Bezame lutilaka ya bawu nyonso bambala tanu. Bawu kunwaka mpe bawu yangalalaka.BSBBSB: When the portions were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times larger than any of the others. So they feasted and drank freely with Joseph.
