1Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
1 Yakuba mo di i goono ga du ŋwaari Misira. Yakuba ne nga izey se: «Ifo se no araŋ ga care guna?»
2And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
2 A ne: «A go, ay maa kaŋ ŋwaari go Misira. Kal araŋ ma do noodin ka day iri se, zama iri ma du ka funa, iri ma si bu.»
3And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
3 Kala Yusufu beerey koy, ngey boro way, zama ngey ma ŋwaari day Misira.
4But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
4 Amma Yakuba mana Yusufu kayno Benyamin donton a ma koy nga beerey banda, zama baabo goono ga ne: «A ma si te hambara hasaraw fo ga du a.»
5And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
5 Israyla* izey binde koy borey kaŋ yaŋ ga koy din banda, zama ngey ma ŋwaari day, zama haray go Kanaana laabo ra.
6And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
6 Yusufu mo, nga ga ti laabo hinkoyo. Nga mo no koyne ga neera laabo borey kulu se. Yusufu beerey mo kaa. I sombu a se, i moydumey go hala ganda.
7And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
7 Yusufu binde di nga beerey, a n'i bay mo, amma a na nga boŋ te i se danga yaw cine. A salaŋ i se da futay ka ne i se: «Man gaa no araŋ fun?» I ne a se: «Kanaana laabo ra no iri fun, iri kaa ka ŋwaari day no.»
8And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
8 Yusufu na nga beerey bay, amma ngey wo man'a bay.
9And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
9 Yusufu mo fongu nda hindirey kaŋ nga te i boŋ. A ne i se: «Araŋ wo bar-barkoyaŋ no. Araŋ kaa neewo no zama araŋ ma guna ka di naŋ kaŋ laabo sinda kosaray.»
10And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
10 I ne a se: «Abada, iri koyo, amma ŋwaari daymi sabbay se no iri, ni bannyey kaa.
11We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
11 Iri kulu baaba folloŋ izeyaŋ no. Iri ya yaddanteyaŋ no. Iri, ni bannyey manti ma-cararayaŋ.»
12And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
12 A ne i se: «Abada. Araŋ wo kaa day no zama araŋ ma di naŋ kaŋ laabo sinda kosaray.»
13And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
13 I ne: «Iri, ni bannyey wo, iri boro way cindi hinka no, care nya-izeyaŋ, boro folloŋ izeyaŋ mo no Kanaana laabo ra. A go, koda go iri baabo do hunkuna, afo mo si no.»
14And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
14 Yusufu ne i se: «Wo kaŋ ay ci araŋ gaa nooya, araŋ wo ma-cararayaŋ no.
15Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
15 To, ya-cine gaa no ay g'araŋ gosi: ay ze da Firawna fundo! Araŋ si fatta ne kala nda araŋ koda kaa jina.
16Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
16 Araŋ ma araŋ ra afo donton, a ma kande araŋ kayno, araŋ mo ga goro ne hawante, zama i ma araŋ sanno gosi ka di hala cimi go araŋ do. Da manti yaadin no mo, ay ze da Firawna fundo! haciika, araŋ ya ma-cararayaŋ no.»
17And he put them all together into ward three days.
17 Kal a n'i kulu margu ka daŋ i m'i gaay jirbi hinza.
18And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
18 Zaari hinzanta hane mo Yusufu ne i se: «Woone no araŋ ga te, araŋ ma du ka funa, zama ay ga humburu Irikoy.
19If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
19 Da araŋ wo naanaykoyyaŋ no, ay ga gaay araŋ nya-izey wo ra afo, windo kaŋ ra i n'araŋ gaay din, amma araŋ wo ma koy. Araŋ ma sambu ŋwaari ka konda araŋ windey haraykooney se.
20But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
20 Araŋ ma kande araŋ koda ay do. Yaadin gaa no araŋ sanney ga tabbat, araŋ ma si bu mo.» I binde te yaadin.
21And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
21 I ne ngey da care se: «Daahir, iri ya taalikoyyaŋ no iri kayno do haray, za kaŋ iri di a fundo taabo, saaya kaŋ a na iri ŋwaaray gomni, amma iri wangu ka maa. Woodin se no taabi woone du iri.»
22And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
22 Ruben tu i se ka ne: «Manti ay ci araŋ se, kaŋ ay ne: ‹Araŋ ma si taali te arwaso din se?› Amma araŋ wangu ka maa. Woodin sabbay se a go, a kuro alhakko no i goono ga hã.»
23And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
23 I mana bay hala Yusufu goono ga maa, zama boro fo go no kaŋ ga sanney barmay i game ra.
24And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
24 Yusufu binde na banda bare i gaa ka soobay ka hẽ gumo. A ye i do ka salaŋ i se. A na Simeyon di i ra k'a haw i jine.
25Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
25 Waato din gaa Yusufu ne i ma hawgarey toonandi i se da masangu. I ma boro kulu nooro ye a se a hawgara ra, i m'i no hindoonayyaŋ mo fonda sabbay se. Yaadin mo no i te i se.
26And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
26 I na ngey ŋwaaro sambu ka dake ngey farkayey boŋ ka dira.
27And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth.
27 Amma saaya kaŋ i ra afo na nga hawgara fiti zama a ma nga farka no kaamayaŋ hari i zumbuyaŋo do, kal a di nga nooro go hawgara me gaa.
28And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
28 A ne nga nya-izey se: «I n'ay nooro ye, nga neeya ay hawgara ra.» I biney pati. I bare ka care guna nda jijiriyaŋ ka ne: «Ifo no woone kaŋ Irikoy te iri se?»
29And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
29 I kaa ngey baabo Yakuba do Kanaana laabo ra ka dede a se hay kulu kaŋ du ngey. I ne:
30The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
30 «Bora din kaŋ ga ti laabo koyo salaŋ iri se da futay, a go ho hala iri wo laabu ma-cararayaŋ no.
31And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
31 Iri mo ne a se kaŋ iri wo naanaykoyyaŋ no, manti ma-cararayaŋ no.
32We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
32 Iri boro way cindi hinka no, care nya-izeyaŋ, baaba folloŋ izeyaŋ. Iri boro fo si no, koda mo go iri baabo do hunkuna Kanaana laabo ra.
33And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
33 Kala bora kaŋ ga ti laabo koyo ne iri se: ‹Mate kaŋ gaa ay ga bay hal araŋ ya cimi boroyaŋ no neeya: araŋ ma araŋ nya-izey ra afo naŋ ne ay do. Araŋ ma sambu ŋwaari araŋ windey haraykooney se k'araŋ diraw te.
34And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the land.
34 Araŋ ma kande araŋ koda ay do. Gaa no ay ga bay kaŋ araŋ manti ma-cararayaŋ, amma araŋ ya cimi boroyaŋ no. Ay g'araŋ nya-izo no araŋ se, araŋ ma day da neerayaŋ te laabo ra mo.› »
35And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
35 A te ka ciya mo, waato kaŋ i go ngey hawgarey feeriyaŋo gaa, kal i boro kulu nooru kunsumo go hawgara ra. Waato kaŋ ngey da ngey baabo di ngey noorey, kal i humburu.
36And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
36 Kala baabo Yakuba ne i se: «Araŋ n'ay mursandi nd'ay izey. Yusufu si no, Simeyon si no, araŋ ga ba ka Benyamin mo sambu. Harey wo kulu ga gaaba nda ay fundo.»
37And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
37 Ruben binde salaŋ nga baabo se ka ne: «M'ay ize hinka wi, da day ay mana ye ka kand'a ni do. M'a daŋ ay kambe ra, ay ga ye ka kand'a mo ni do.»
38And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
38 Yakuba ne: «Ay izo si koy araŋ banda, zama a nya izo bu, nga hinne no ka cindi. Da hasaraw fo du a dirawo kaŋ araŋ ga koy ra, yaadin gaa araŋ g'ay hamni kwaara candi nda bine saray nooya ka koy Alaahara.»
