Genesis 43 (WLO)

1Kanarakaa kasukarana kaara torotorosu amakaa i lipu incia sumai.Now the famine was still severe in the land.

2Jadi, wakutuuna gandum ibhawana manga incia minaaka i Mesir atopadhamo atokande, apogaumo amana manga, "Lingkamo uka, alikita saidhe giuna kinande to ingkita."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.”

3Maka alawanimo Yuda i incia, "Mia sumai ampuu-mpuu audhaniaka ingkami, 'Ingkomiu indamo umembali ukamata rouku pendua, tabeana andimiu dhaangia apobhawa tee ingkomiu.'But Judah replied, “The man solemnly warned us, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’

4Ande Ama uundaakea andimami alingka apobhawa tee ingkami, dhaampomo ingkami bhetalingka taali giuna kinande to Ama.If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy food for you.

5Maka ande Ama inda uundaaka andimami alingka apobhawa tee ingkami, sumaimo ingkami inda bhetalingka, roonamo mia sumai padhamo apogau i ingkami, 'Ingkomiu inda umembali ukamata rouku pendua, tabeana o andimiu apobhawa tee ingkomiu."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.’”

6Kasiimpo apogaumo Israel, "Pokia ingkomiu upekarasaiaku tee upaumbaakea i mia incia sumai ande dhaangiapo tee andimiu samia?"“Why did you bring this trouble upon me?” Israel asked. “Why did you tell the man you had another brother?”

7Alawanimo manga, "Mia incia sumai atorotorosu aabha to ingkami tee manga witinaita. Incia aabha, 'Dhaangiapo adhadhi o amamiu? Dhaangiapo uka witinaimiu?' sabutuna ingkami talawania mboomo ipogauakamami sumai. Tuaapa tamataua ande incia bheapogauaka, 'Bhawea andimiu iwe sii.'?"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’?”

8Kasiimpo apogaumo uka Yuda i Israel, amana, "Uundaakamea anaana sumai alingka tee ingkami. Ingkami bhetalausaka talingka mamudhaakana ingkita, siitumo o Ama, ingkami, tee manga anaanamami, amembali sadhaadhaana tadhadhi tee inda tamate.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.

9Iakumo mojaminina incia. Ama umembali utuntua minaaka i iaku. Ande iaku inda kubhawea pendua i Ama tee kupasaraakea i Ama, siitumo iaku bhemotanggona dosa i Ama saʼumurua dhadhiku.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.

10Ande ingkami inda tapekanoenoe, tantumo sii-sii ingkami tambulimo to rua mpearona."If we had not delayed, we could have come and gone twice by now.”

11Kasiimpo, apogaumo Israel, amana manga, i manga incia, "Ande atotuu tabeana mboo sumai, pewaumea hali incia sii: Bhawamea hasilina lipu sii momalapena i nuncana manga tampana bhakumiu, tee bhawamea i mia incia sumai kadhawumiu mboomo saidhe balsam, saidhe golana uwani, manga rampa, polona kau mawondu, bhakena bheau, tee bhakena badam.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.

12Tee uka bhawamo doi rua kali lipa kabharina: o doi i ipambulina i piamo itu i ngangana kadhumiu samia-samia tabeana ingkomiu ubhawea pendua. Aipomo miana Mesir asala dhika i nuncana kadhumiu.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.

13Bhawea uka andimiu, tee lausakamo umbuli pendua i mia incia sumai.Take your brother as well, and return to the man at once.

14Sio-siomo Aulataʼala Mokokuasana adhawuko rahumati i aroana mia incia sumai sanampuu incia arambasakea witinaimiu mosagaanana sumai tee uka Binyamin. Maka ande iaku, tabeana bhekukailanga manga anaku, bholiakamo iaku kukailangaaka."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.”

15Kasiimpomo, manga incia apasiapuakamea manga bara to idhawuakana. Manga incia abhawamo doi rua kali lipa kabharina, tee uka Binyamin, kasiimpo alingkamo i Mesir. Sakawana iwe sumai, akakaromo manga incia i aroana Yusuf.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.

16Wakutuuna Yusuf akamata Binyamin apobhawa tee manga witinaina, apogaumo incia i bhatuana, "Bhawea manga mia incia sii i nuncana bhanua. Sumbelemo sambaa binata tee patalaakea kinande, roonamo manga mia incia sii bheakande tee iaku pontanga eo sii."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.”

17Mia incia sumai apewaumea parintana Yusuf, kasiimpo abhawamea manga incia apesua i bhanuana Yusuf.The man did as Joseph had commanded and took the brothers to Joseph’s house.

18Manga incia amaekamo sababuna manga apapesuaia i nuncana bhanua Yusuf. Apogaumo manga incia, "Ingkita amangapapesua roonamo parakarana doi ipambulina i nuncana kadhuta i piamo itu. Incia gauna bhearaeaka ingkita, arako ingkita, amangapamembali bhatuana, tee aala manga keledaita."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.”

19Sababuna itu manga incia asarimo moʼatorona bhanuana Yusuf sumai tee apogaumo i aroana bhambana bhanua.So they approached Joseph’s steward and spoke to him at the entrance to the house.

20Apogaumo manga, "Umbe Opu, i piamo itu totuu ingkami taumba to taali giuna kinande.“Please, sir,” they said, “we really did come down here the first time to buy food.

21I wakutuu ingkami takawa i tampana pomaloa tee tabungkale kadhumami, garaaka dhaangia tee doina sumbesumbere dhaangia i ngangana kadhu, mboomo kabharina ingkami tabaiarea. Maka sii-sii, ingkami tapambulia pendua,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.

22tee ingkami uka tabhawa doi sagaanana to taaliaka giuna kinande. Ingkami inda tamataua incema mopapesuana doi sumai i nuncana kadhumami."We have brought additional silver with us to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks.”

23Apogaumo mia sumai, "Tanangipo bholi umaeka! Aulataʼalamiu tee Aulataʼalana amamiu padhamo adhawuakakomiu harataa i nuncana kadhumiu. Doimiu i piamo itu padhamo kutarimaia." Kasiimpomo, incia apalimbamo Simeon tee abhawea i manga incia.“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.

24Sapadhana incia sumai, incia abhawamea manga apesua i nuncana bhanuana Yusuf, kasiimpo adhawua uwe manga mamudhaakana abhanui aena kasiimpomo adhawua akande manga keledaina.And the steward took the men into Joseph’s house, gave them water to wash their feet, and provided food for their donkeys.

25Manga incia apasiapuakamo idhawuakana manga tee aantagi o umbaana Yusuf i pontanga eo roonamo manga incia arango ande manga incia bheapatalaakea kinande iwe sumai.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.

26Wakutuuna Yusuf ambuli i bhanuana, manga incia uka apasaraakea i Yusuf manga idhawuakana ibhawana apapesuaia i bhanuana, kasiimpo asuju i aroana ahoromatia.When Joseph came home, they presented him with the gifts they had brought, and they bowed to the ground before him.

27Yusuf aabhaakamo kadhaangiana manga incia, kasiimpo aabha, "Tuaapa kadhaangiana amamiu, mancuana ipetulatulaakamiu itu? Dhaangiapo adhadhi?"He asked if they were well, and then he asked, “How is your elderly father you told me about? Is he still alive?”

28Lawanimo manga, "Bhatuamu, o amamami, amalape tee dhaangiapo adhadhi." Kasiimpo, manga incia asujumo manga tee ahoromatia.“Your servant our father is well,” they answered. “He is still alive.” And they bowed down to honor him.

29Yusuf apotonto i manga incia, kasiimpo akamatamo Binyamin, andina, witinaina saina tee incia. Incia aabha, "Siimo andimiu kaepu, ipetulatulaakamiu i iaku? Sio-siomo Aulataʼala amaasi incana i ingkoo, anaku!"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.”

30Yusuf uka lausakamo adhencu apeelo tampa to atangi, roonamo apemelili mpuu tee andina. Incia apesua i nuncana kolemana tee atangi iwe sumai.Joseph hurried out because he was moved to tears for his brother, and he went to a private room to weep.

31Sapadhana incia sumai abhanuimo rouna kasiimpo alimba. Apoose abuniakea incana satotuuna, incia apogau, "Patalamo kinande."Then he washed his face and came back out. Regaining his composure, he said, “Serve the meal.”

32Kinande uka atopatalamo, to Yusuf agaatiakea, to manga witinaina agaatiakea uka, to manga miana Mesir mokandena mopobhawana tee incia uka agaatiakea. Manga incia akande mboo sumai rampaakanamo miana Mesir inda amembali akande sameja tee miana Ibrani, sababuna hali incia sumai saangu kahina to miana Mesir.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.

33Manga witinaina Yusuf apauncuraia i aroana mboomo laahiriana samia-samia, minaaka i tumpe sampe i kaepu. Manga incia uka aposapotontomo tee amente.They were seated before Joseph in order by age, from the firstborn to the youngest, and the men looked at one another in astonishment.

34Kasiimpomo, sagaa kinande minaaka i aroana Yusuf apataalakea i aroana manga incia sumbesumbere, maka dhawuna to Binyamin apataalakea lima mpearo kabharina minaaka i dhawuna to bhari-bharia mosagaanana. Manga incia uka asumpu tee asanaa-sanaamo tee Yusuf.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.
