Genesis 42 (RHG)

1Yakube Mišorot gĩyu asede zani fariyore hibaye nizor futaindore hodde, "Tũwara ekzone ar ekzonor mukor uzu kiya sai taikko?"When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why are you staring at one another?”

2Hibaye aro hodde, "So, ãi Mišorot gĩyu asede fuinni, tũwara heṛe lamat zo edde henttu ãralla gĩyu kini anogoi, zene ãrar basai fari edde no mori."“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.”

3Toi Yusufor doš báiye Mišorottu gĩyu kinibolla lamat giye.So ten of Joseph’s brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.

4Kintu Yakube Yusufor bái Benyaminore hitar báiyaindor fũwati no defeṛa, kiyollahoile hibaye hodde, "Oitfare hitar uwore hono bifod goṭibo."But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “I am afraid that harm might befall him.”

5Toi zara gĩyu kinito aišše hitarar fũwati Israilor futain okkol o heṛe aišše, kiyollahoile Kenanot o raṭ oil.So the sons of Israel were among those who came to buy grain, since the famine had also spread to the land of Canaan.

6Ehon Yusuf oiyede dešor šašongoroya, ar iba oilde hiba ze he dešitta okkol beggunore gĩyu bessil. Toi Yusufor báiyain okkol aišše edde hitara hibar sarme meṛir uzu uite foijje.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.

7Yusufe báiyaindore deikke edde hibaye hitarare sini faijje, kintu hibaye hitara loi osinor ḍoil goijje edde hora gori hota hoiye, hodde, "Tũwara hontu aiššode?" Hitara hodde, "Kenan dešottu, haiddo kinibolla aššide."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.”

8Yusufe báiyaindore sini faijje, kintu hitara Yusufore sini no fare.Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.

9Ar Yusufe hitarar babute ze ze šoppon okkol dekkil, hin okkol hibattu monot foijje; toi hitarare hodde, "Tũwara spai, dešot uidda zaga hoṛe ase saito aiššode."Joseph remembered his dreams about them and said, “You are spies! You have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”

10Hitara zuwabe hodde, "No, malik, õnor gulam okkole haiddo kinto aiššede.“Not so, my lord,” they replied. “Your servants have come to buy food.

11Ãra beggun ekzonor futain ãra šada dilla manuš, spai no."We are all sons of one man. Your servants are honest men, not spies.”

12Yusufe hitarare hodde, "No, tũwara dešot uidda zaga hoṛe ase saito aiššode."“No,” he told them. “You have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”

13Kintu hitara hodde, "Õnor gulam okkol baro bái aššilam, ãra oilamde Kenanor ekzonor futain okkol. Ar šoṛo bái ehon ãrar bafor fũwati ase, ar ekzon nai."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.”

14Yusufe hitarare hodde, "Iyan ãi tũwarare hoiyide hendilla, tũwara spai.Then Joseph declared, “Just as I said, you are spies!

15Ar tũwarare iyan loi forikka gora oibo: Ãi Feruwanor zanor hosom gori hoir, tũwarar šoṛo bái eṛe no aile, tũwara ei zagattu bair oi no fariba.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.

16Tũwarar ekzonore defeṛao, edde tũwarar he báiyore anao, ar tũwara eṛe bondi tako, ar ei bafe tũwarar hota forikka gora oibo, tũwara hãsa hota hor ne. Zodi no oile, ãi Feruwanor zanor hosom gori hoir, tũwara spai okkol."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!”

17Toi hibaye hitarare tin din hazotot rakkiye.So Joseph imprisoned them for three days,

18Tin dinor din Yusufe hitarare hodde, "Ek ham goro, toi tũwara basi fariba, kiyollahoile ãi Allare ḍorai:and on the third day he said to them, “I fear God. So do this and you will live:

19Tũwara zodi šada dilla manuš o toile tũwarar báiyaindor butottu ekzon hazotot bondi tako, ar baki beggune tũwarar bukalo góror manuš okkololla gĩyu loi zogoi.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.

20Tarfore tũwara tũwarar šoṛo báiyore ãr hãse ano, toi tũwarar hota formanito oibo, edde tũwara no moriba." Toi hitara hendilla goijje.Then bring your youngest brother to me so that your words can be verified, that you may not die.” And to this they consented.

21Ar hitara ekzonore ekzone hodde, "Soiyi ãra ãrar báiyor babute hosurbon, kiyollahoile hite ãrar hãse minnoti goijje, edde ãra hitar foranor hošto dekiyore hin no funi; etolla ãrar uwore ei mosibot hazir oiye."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.”

22Hetunot Rubene hodde, "Ãi no ne tũwarare hoilamde, fuwawar berudde guna no goijjo? Kintu tũwara no funo, ar ehon hitar louwor hisab diya forer."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!”

23Hitara ṭer no ze Yusufe hitarar hota buzi farer, kiyollahoile hibaye hota buzaidoya bebar goijje.They did not realize that Joseph understood them, since there was an interpreter between them.

24Toi hiba hitarar hãsottu dure ator oi zaiyore hainde edde uwafes firi aišše. Toi hiba abar firi aišše edde hitara loi hota hoiye, Ar hitarar butottu Simeonore dori hitarar šaikkat bainde.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.

25Bade Yusufe hitarar bosta okkolot gĩyu bori dibolla, ar hitara fotti ek ekzonor ṭiya zar zar bostat ferot dibolla, edde baisalla hána dibolla hokum diye. Toi hitaralla hendilla gora oiye.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,

26Tarfore hitara hitarar gĩyur bosta okkol hitarar gada okkolor fiṛot loiye edde henttu giyegoi.and they loaded the grain on their donkeys and departed.

27Ar fõtot rait haṛaibolla taimmede heṛe hitarar butottu ekzone hitar gadare adar dibolla hitar gĩyur bosta kuille. Toi hite bostar mukot hitar ṭiyagun deikke.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.

28Henot hite báiyain okkolore hodde, "So, ãr ṭĩya firaidiye, hin ãr bostar butore." Henot ḍore hitarar foran uri giyegoi edde hafi hafi ekzonore ekzone hodde, "Allaye ãrare in ki goijje?"“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?”

29Bade hitara Kenan dešot hitarar baf Yakubor hãse aišše, edde hitarar uwore zen zen goiṭṭe hin okkol beggun hibar hãse hoi funaiye. Hitara hodde,When they reached their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they described to him all that had happened to them:

30"Ze manušwa he dešor uwore malik, hibaye ãra loi hora bafe hota hoiye, ar ãrare dešor uidda zaga tuwoya spai mone goijje.“The man who is lord of the land spoke harshly to us and accused us of spying on the country.

31Kintu ãra hibare hoiyi, 'Ãra šada dilla manuš, spai no.But we told him, ‘We are honest men, not spies.

32Ãra baro bái, ek bafor futain, kintu ekzon nai, edde šoṛo bái Kenanot ehon ãrar bafor fũwati ase.'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"Henot he deš šašongoroya manušwaye ãrare hodde, 'Iyan loi ãi tũwara šada dilla manuš oi ne zani fariyum: Tũwarar ek báiyore ãr hãse raki zo, edde tũwarar bukalo góror manuš okkololla haiddo loizo.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.

34Ar tũwarar šoṛo báiyore ãr hãse ainno, henot ãi buzifariyum ze tũwara spai no, kintu šada dilla manuš. Toi ãi tũwarar bái tũwarar hãse firai diyum, edde tũwara ei dešot besa kina gori fariba.'"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.’”

35Toi hitara zẽtte bostattu haiddo ḍaille, ar so, hitara fottizonor bostar butore hitarar fottizonor ṭiyar bunda! Ei ṭiyar bunda okkol hitara edde hitarar bafe deki, beggune ḍoraiye.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.

36Ar hitarar baf Yakube hodde, "Tũwara ãre fuwain hara goijjo. Yusuf nai, Simeon o nai, abar Benyaminore loizaito sor. In beggun ãr uwottu guzori zar!"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!”

37Hetunot Rubene hitar bafore hodde, "Ãi zodi tũwar hãse itare firai no ani, toile tũi ãr dui futore kun goijjo. Hitare ãr hatot do, ãi hitare tũwar hãse uwafes firai aniyum."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.”

38Kintu Yakube hodde, "Na, ãr fut tũwarar fũwati no zaibo; hitar bái mori giyegoi edde šude hite basi ase. Tũwara ze fõt bai zaiba, heṛe zodi hitar hono bifod o, toile hitar šukke ei fona sule ãre fatalot lamai diba."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.”
