1And the famine was sore in the land.
1 Hara kankam laabo ra.
2And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.
2 A ciya mo, saaya kaŋ masango kaŋ i kande ka fun Misira din i n'a ŋwa ka ban, baabo ne i se: «Wa ye ka koy ka ŋwaari kayna day iri se koyne.»
3And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
3 Kala Yahuda salaŋ a se ka ne: «Bora na sanno gaabandi ka ne: ‹Araŋ si di ay moyduma abada, kala nda araŋ kayno go araŋ banda.›
4If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
4 Da ni g'iri kayno daŋ iri banda, iri ga koy ka ŋwaari day,
5But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
5 amma da ni s'a daŋ _iri banda|_, iri si koy. Zama bora ne iri se: ‹Araŋ si di ay moyduma kala nda araŋ kayno go araŋ banda.› »
6And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
6 Israyla binde ne: «Ifo se no araŋ n'ay zamba ya-cine, za kaŋ araŋ ne bora se kaŋ araŋ gonda nya-ize fo kaŋ cindi?»
7And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
7 I ne: «Bora din n'iri hã no iri bumbey sanni boŋ da iri dumo wane. A ne: ‹Araŋ gonda baaba kaŋ gonda fundi? wala araŋ gonda nya-ize fo koyne?› Iri mo, iri tu a se sanni woone yaŋ boŋ. Man iri gonda bayray baa kayna hal a ga ne: ‹Wa kande araŋ kayno ay do?› »
8And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.
8 Yahuda ne nga baabo Israyla se: «Ma zanka daŋ ay banda. Iri mo, iri ma tun ka koy, zama iri ma funa, iri ma si bu, iri nda nin da iri izey mo.
9I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
9 Ay g'a fundo tolme sambu ay boŋ, ay kambe ra no ni g'a ceeci. D'ay mana ye ka kand'a ni do k'a daŋ ni kambe ra, kal ay ma goro nda taali hal abada ay boŋ.
10For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
10 Zama da manti kaŋ iri gay, haciika doŋ sohõ iri ye ka kaa ce hinka.»
11And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
11 I baabo Israyla ne i se: «D'a tilas, yaadin gaa mate kaŋ araŋ ga te neeya: araŋ ma sambu iri laabo wane hay fo caadante araŋ jeejay ra ka kond'a bora se fooyaŋ hari. Wa konda zawul* kayna da yu kayna, da turaare jinay da yaazi da damsi da amand*.
12And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:
12 Araŋ ma nooru labu-care hinka sambu araŋ kambe ra. Noorey kaŋ i ye araŋ hawgarey ra, araŋ ma ye nd'ey araŋ kambe ra. Hambara forgay no.
13Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
13 Wa araŋ kayno sambu mo, ka tun ka ye bora do.
14And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
14 Irikoy kaŋ ti Hina-Kulu-Koyo ma araŋ no suuji bora do, zama a ma araŋ nya-ize fa din taŋ araŋ se, nga nda Benyamin kulu. Ay mo, d'i n'ay mursandi nd'ay izey, ay murs'ey no.»
15And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
15 Kala borey na fooyaŋey sambu. I na nooru labu-care hinka mo sambu ngey kambe ra, da Benyamin mo. I tun ngey do ka koy Misira ka kay Yusufu jine.
16And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.
16 Saaya kaŋ Yusufu di Benyamin go i banda, a ne nga windi jine funa se: «Ma furo nda borey din windo ra. Ma alman wi mo k'a soola, zama da wayna to zaari bindi, borey din ga ŋwa ay banda.»
17And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
17 Kala bora te danga mate kaŋ Yusufu ci nga se ka borey daŋ Yusufu windo ra.
18And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
18 Borey din humburu zama i n'i daŋ Yusufu windo ra. I ne: «Nooro din kaŋ i ye iri hawgarey ra za sintina gaa din, a se no i n'iri daŋ, zama nga ma du kobay ka kaŋ iri boŋ, ka iri te bannyayaŋ, iri nda iri farkayey kulu.»
19And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
19 Kal i sosoro ka maan Yusufu windi jine funa do. I salaŋ a se windo me gaa
20And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
20 ka ne: «Ya iri jine bora, daahir iri kaayaŋ jina gaa, iri kaa zama iri ma ŋwaari day no.
21And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
21 A ciya mo, waato kaŋ iri to zumbuyaŋo do, iri n'iri hawgarey feeri, kala boro kulu nooro go a hawgara me gaa. Iri noorey neeya timmante. Iri ye ka kand'ey iri kambe ra.
22And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
22 Iri kande nooru fooyaŋ mo koyne zama iri ma ŋwaari day. Iri mana bay boro kaŋ n'iri noorey ye iri hawgarey ra.»
23And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
23 Kal a ne: «Laakal kanay ma goro araŋ gaa, araŋ ma si humburu bo. Araŋ Irikoyo, araŋ baaba Irikoyo, nga no k'araŋ no arzaka araŋ hawgarey ra. Araŋ noorey furo ay kambe ra.» A na Simeyon mo kaa taray.
24And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
24 Bannya din mo na borey daŋ Yusufu fuwo ra. A n'i no hari, i na ngey cey nyun. A n'i farkayey mo no ŋwaari.
25And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
25 I na fooyaŋ haro soola hala Yusufu ga kaa zaari bindi, zama i ci i se kaŋ i ga ŋwa noodin.
26And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
26 Waato kaŋ Yusufu ye ka kaa fu, i kond'a se fooyaŋ haro kaŋ go i kambey ra windo ra. I gurfa a jine hala ganda.
27And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
27 A n'i baani hã ka ne: «Araŋ baabo go baani, wala, dottija din kaŋ araŋ ci? A gonda fundi hala hõ?»
28And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
28 I ne: «Ni bannya, iri baaba go baani. A gonda fundi hala hõ.» I na boŋ sumbal ka sombu a jine.
29And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.
29 A na nga boŋ sambu ka di nga kayno, Benyamin, a nyaŋo izo. A ne: «Araŋ koda no, wala? nga kaŋ araŋ ci ay se?» A ne koyne: «Irikoy ma gomni te ni se, ay izo!»
30And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
30 Kala Yusufu waasu, zama a gaahamo jijiri, nga kayno bakaraw se. A na nangu ceeci zama nga ma hẽ. A furo nga kaniyaŋ fuwo ra ka hẽ noodin.
31And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
31 A na nga moyduma nyun ka fatta, kal a hin nga boŋ. A ne i ma kande ŋwaari.
32And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
32 I daŋ a se nga wane, nga hinne. Ngey mo wane go waani i do. Misirancey kaŋ yaŋ go noodin mo, i ŋwaaro go waani, zama kabiya hari no Misirancey se i ma ŋwa Ibraniyancey banda; fanta hari no Misirancey se.
33And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marveled one at another.
33 I goro a jine, hay-jina nga hayyaŋ darza boŋ, koda mo nga kaynayaŋo boŋ. Borey mo na care guna nda dambara.
34And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
34 A ne i ma ŋwaaro sambu nga jine ka kond'a i se. Amma Benyamin wano, a naŋ i m'a te a ma to cindey wane fo sorro gu. I haŋ ka maa kaani a banda.
